How about a Makarov? They have good lines.
Always have clean socks.
Well looks like I'm going to get another .45 ots between the Taurus 1911 duotone and the kimber Eclipse Custom II sucks they don't got them in 9mm
CZ75 has the looks and lines. Several variants to choose from.
Patron Member NRA "I would not be an old man if I had not been an armed young man." JTJ I was taught to respect my elders but they are getting harder to find.
My CZ75B is my favorite 9.
I would go with a glock simply because they are the most popular handgun and there are other plenty of accessories and aftermarket parts that make it completely unique and different and you can have a unique pistol everytime i i cant say the same for other brands or pistol makers spring field xds are pretty popular i learned to shoot with the glock and grew up using one so i lean towards the glock 19and 21 but the only problem is they all look the same and i hate that i only use glock because of the parts and easy to find mags and pieces and popularity so its the perfect shtf gun for me. but if i had to have a unique 9mm that nobody would have and i care about a workhorse gun or shtf scenarios i guess it would be a stainless sig sauer p226 baby!

Calculator is AMAZING! I HAVE ONE!!
Best Uses
Comments about Texas Instruments TI-Nspire® CX CAS Graphing Calculator:
I am a high school student and purchased this calculator mostly for my calc 3 class I take at a nearby college. I had to decide between the ti-89 and this one and ultimately decided on the cx cas. My friends all own ti-89s and the key difference I saw between the two calculators was the use of templates. The ti-89 maybe much more familiar for many people but for me, the math templates makes things easier to integrate, differentiate, etc. Also the screen is quite beautiful but can be scratched easily. The screen is clear and vivid. The calculator is also extremely slim and looks amazing. Whenever I take this thing out, everyone always swarm over to admire its beauty. It always attracts attention. The battery life amazed me. It lasted longer than what Texas instruments said it would. I use this calculator very often and the battery was at 50% after 3 weeks of use. I am very happy with my purchase.
Pros: Templates are extremely helpful. Battery life is amazing. Expect people to compliment you (until this thing becomes more common.) Screen is clear and vibrant. Looks and feels amazing. Super thin Nice change from the typical ti-89.
Cons: Screen scratches easily. Some people may "borrow" your calculator longer than you wish .Getting locked in test mode could happen quite easily and has happened to me already. (just find someone with any ti-nspire and connect the two calculators then open up the document called test mode to unlock). Screen is a fingerprint magnet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Are you sure there are no holes in your privacy fence?"
"I'm aware of several rather large holes, right at sight level."
She snickered against his shoulder as he swept her body with his hands in a slow exploration, snapping the spandex from her body as if it violated his sacred territory. The small jeopardy of being discovered titillated her.
"This must go. It's in my way."
Elissa giggled, and Greg peeled away the bathing suit, leaving her to cross her arms over her nudity. Before she could suspect his evil motives, Greg snatched her up by her waist and tossed her onto the inflated mattress floating on the water. Elissa shrieked from the surprise, and she smacked a hand over her mouth to keep from drawing the attention of the crowd next door.
He leapt onto the mattress beside her, rocking the boat and causing another explosive laughter from both of them that probably blended into the neighborhood noise.
"Sh," Greg whispered at her feet, his tone sneaky. "They might hear us."
Just gazing down her unclothed body at him caused Elissa a cascade of sensations like a waterfall spinning a paddle wheel. The setting sun made the water droplets sliding down his toasty skin sparkle. He looked reckless, and oh-so libidinous. She had to lick her lips, dried from the moisture of her body shifting downward.
An intent gleam in his eye, he started at her ankles, straddled her legs and began a slow crawl up her body like a predator trapping his dinner.
"It might not be a great idea to make love to me out here, Greg."
He passed her hips, his face inches away from the curls of her sex, placed a feather kiss there, then another kiss on her bellybutton ashe crawled upward. The way his dark-chocolate eyes caressed her so hungrily made her ache.
"I think it's the best idea in the world."
"After last night, I can testify to the fact that I can't keep quiet."
His smile ripened into a full-fledged passion for risk, and he paused to stare at her breasts. "God, I know. It was music to my ears."
Elissa sucked her lips into her mouth, distrusting herself not to giggle aloud. He was so damned cute. If Greg were the Devil, she'd consider a life of sin.
"Irresistible impulse..." she pled aloud in a long moan.
Fully above her now, he smiled, badness and debauchery dancing in his eyes. His hair was wild, his gaze anticipating and eager.
"You seemed like such a good boy when I met you."
Greg descended on her, filled his mouth with her unshielded breast, sending her hands into his hair and causing her to arch and moan and lose all reason. Her knees rose to hug his torso, pressing him against her in case he tried to get away.
"Shh," he demanded around her nipple, the movement of his lips and rush of his breath on her wet flesh sending more bliss and tension through her.
"People might hear you, Elissa.... You're not supposed to cry out, you bad girl. But I'm going to make you do it, anyway."
He descended on her other breast and suckled her until only iron discipline kept her from uttering desperate moans. He made her body ache for him. She caught herself in a tight grip of his damp black hair and had to release him several times at the realization, but he didn't let up on her at all. He did make her cry out more than once beyond her suppression, no matter how much being heard would've embarrassed her.
Greg sat up on his knees between her open knees, his power position. Feeling the roll of the water beneath them added to the intoxication. Seeing him and his conquest smile between her legs rocked her with another shudder.
He stroked the sensitive flesh of her inside thighs. "You should feel the heat coming off you, Elissa. You're scorching hot."
His mere contact in intimate places put her just where he left off when the doorbell rang, on the verge of starvation for him. She didn't know how she'd stay quiet enough not to draw the curiosity of the party guests. She couldn't stay quiet when he touched her like this.
"You could take me into the bedroom now," she muttered between rushed breaths.
Greg shook his head in abject denial, no mercy in his eye. His hand slid to the apex of her thighs, and his thumb stroked through the hair there, sending a new shiver through her. "Not gonna happen that way."
She felt his finger slide down the folds of her pussy with sadistic delay, then he penetrated her, drawing another gasp she couldn't hold back, and he pressed upward in a long glide all the way into her, making her shiver, whimper, and pant.

This poor excuse for a romance novel won an award? You're kidding, right? The dialogue is unnatural. The hero says ridiculous things to the heroine that of which no man would ever say on Earth or Pluto. And how many times do we need to be reminded that the girl has paprika colored hair? Is that the author's favorite word or what? It was just bad writing at its finest. I hated it but rarely give up on a novel. It just got worse and worse for me. She should write comedy because this book had me laughing my arse off! The love scenes had me rolling my eyes. It was like the author has not advanced into today's romantic love scenes. This reads like books of old times. This book is the reason romance books are made fun of but this lady went all the way and tried to write erotica. I was cringing at her efforts. And she seems way too focued on food, droning on with descriptions of food and leaving other details out. It was just way too amateurish for me. I'm guessing this author was laid off and is now dabbling in writer. She should take some writer courses. I teach creative writing at a community college but I won't leave my name for fear of her showing up at my class. Some people just shouldn't write. But thank you. I'll be buying a print copy to pass around my class to use as an example of how "not to write romance". Kudos to you, m'dear for setting back romance novels a good 100 years.

South Australian folk-rock band The Beards formed in 2005 with a singular aim - to promote the growing of beards.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The Beards joined Russell Woolf and Pete Rowsthorn to share their music and their philosophy.
"Having a beard is about diversity, shaving is about conformity," they say.
"We actively dislike moustaches. You can have moustache as part of a beard, but a standalone moustache is insulting to us and everything we stand for."
"We're only interested in beards. We don't even really like music that much, we're just into beards."
"Recently bearded men have been forced to endure a lower status, and that's one of the reasons we formed, to provide a voice for the often persecuted bearded man."
Their single "You Should Consider Having Sex With a Bearded Man" was voted into 99th place in Triple J's Top 100 list of 2011.
Watch the band perform their song 'Born with a Beard' in the video.

Dear Internet users!
Welcome to the official website of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation.
The website of the CEC of Russia is a recognized leader in terms of supplying relevant and extensive information about elections and referendums in the Russian Federation. The website provides information on the operational activities of the CEC of Russia regarding the implementation of its mandate to ensure the voting rights of citizens of the Russian Federation as well as their rights to participate in a referendum. The website also provides news on the work of election commissions of 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
The modern Russian electoral system is one of the most efficient systems in the world; within the time framework set by the Constitution of the Russian Federation and legislation it organizes and manages federal, state, local elections and referendums in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, including 22 Republics, 9 Territories, 46 Regions, 4 Autonomous districts, an autonomous region and 3 cities of federal significance.
Elections are held on the territory of more than 17 million square kilometers with a total voters' number of more than 112 million people (including citizens living outside the Russian Federation) featuring more than 200 nationalities and ethnic groups. More than 48,000 elections and referendum campaigns have been carried out in Russia in the last five years
This year, more than 5700 elections in 84 constituent entities of Russian Federation will be held on the single voting day, September 14th. In particular, 30 senior officials of the Russian Federation, deputies of the legislative (representative) bodies of state power of 14 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, 3 heads and deputies of 20 representational bodies of municipalities which make up administrative centers (capitals) of constituent entities of the Russian Federation will be elected on that day.
On September 14, 2014, in the Republic of Crimea and the city of federal significance Sevastopol the elections to the State Council of the Republic of Crimea and to Sevastopol Legislative Assembly will take place. Besides, the elections of deputies of representative bodies of all municipalities of the Republic of Crimea and intracity municipalities of the city of Sevastopol will be also held on that day. In order to organize and hold elections in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol properly, electoral commissions of the mentioned constituent entities of the Russian Federation, territorial election commissions, and district election commissions were formed.
Ensuring voting rights of citizens is impossible without strict compliance with the elections laws, without careful planning of election commissions' activities, and without the effective organization of cooperation and coordination among all participants in the electoral process, namely, the election commissions, authorities, political parties, candidates, voters and observers.
While visiting the site of the CEC of Russia, you have an opportunity to learn about current legislation on elections, instructions on its application, about measures to improve the legal culture of voters, election officials, and other participants in the electoral process, as well as about activities aimed to build and strengthen the personnel component of electoral commissions and to improve technical infrastructure of the electoral process.
The present year has witnessed many important events that exercised a significant impact on the electoral process and influenced the preparation activities for elections on the single voting day, September 14, 2014.
After the elections held on the single voting day, September 8, 2013, significant amendments to Russian legislation on elections have been adopted.
There have been introduced important changes into the procedure of elections of deputies of the legislative (representative) bodies of constituent entities of the Russian Federation: there has been set a requirement that not less than 25 per cent of deputy seats in specified bodies of the public authorities (except for the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg) should be distributed among the lists of candidates nominated by electoral associations, in proportion to the resulting numbers of polled votes.
The limitation was imposed on the time frame allowed for filing petitions to the court regarding the voting results and cancel decision of the Commission regarding the results of the election – the current deadline lies within 10 days from the date of adopting a decision on the voting results and within 3 months from the date of publication of the Commission' decision on the results of the elections respectively (these deadlines were previously set to one year).
Special attention should be given to innovations in electoral legislation introduced by the Federal Law of May 5, 2014 No. 95-FZ "On Amendments to the Federal Law 'On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right To Participate In The Referendum Citizens of the Russian Federation'". According to these innovative elements a prerequisite for registration of a candidate or list of candidates for the election of deputies of legislative (representative) bodies of the state power, or representative bodies of local self-government is the support demonstrated by voters. This support can be determined by the results of the previous elections, or is otherwise confirmed by the required number of signatures collected in support of the nomination of candidates.
Pursuant to the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of April 15, 2014, the opportunity of early voting in elections to the bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local authorities was brought back in force.
In addition, voters and referendum participants are entitled to appeal to the Court against the decisions or actions (inaction) of the district commission related to the establishment of the voting results at the polling station or the referendum polling station where voters/participants took part in the elections or referendums.
Currently, 5 percent barrier is a newly reduced minimum number of votes required for a list of candidates nominated by electoral associations to be admitted to the distribution of seats in the elections to the legislative (representative) bodies of state power and the elections to the representative bodies of the municipalities.
Legal clarification has been provided for grounds on the basis of which the voters' signatures would be recognized invalid. Legal clarification has also been given in regard to proper actions of an election commission in case it identified the lack of any document prescribed by law in the notice of the nomination or registration of a candidate, or a list of candidates; clarification also referred to deadlines of providing copies of documents. The requirements to the information that an applicant indicates in the application for his/her consent to run for elections have also been changed. The grounds for an elections-organizing Electoral Commission regarding exclusion of a candidate from the list of candidates prior to its official approval have also been specified.
Certain changes have been introduced into requirements to a signature sheet for the collection of signatures in support of nomination of lists of candidates, nomination or self-nomination of candidates for seats in a legislative (representative) body of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a representative body of the municipality, or candidates for the position of head of a municipality.
In connection with introduction of a procedure of signatures collection by political parties there was provided the clarified requirement stating that the Election Funds may be used for financial support of organizational and technical activities aimed at collection of signatures in support of nomination of a list of candidates.
The list of participants of the electoral process has significantly expanded and still continues to expand due to the increase in number of political parties. On the single voting day in 2012, 28 political parties took part in elections; in September 2013 there were 54 participating parties; currently 63 political parties are participating in elections (77 political parties were registered, of which 69 have the right to participate in elections).
In the course of preparation for the forthcoming election campaign the Russian Central Election Commission provides legal and methodological assistance to electoral commissions. In April and May of this year, four interregional workshop meetings were held for the chairmen of the election commission of the Subject of the Russian Federation on the topic of preparation and conduct of elections on the single voting day, September 14, 2014. During these meetings a number of practical issues related to the legislation changes have been trained in a business game mode. Besides, in April the meeting was held with representatives of federal executive bodies on matters of assistance to election commissions in order to ensure the implementation of the electoral rights of certain categories of citizens of the Russian Federation. Two meetings were organized for representatives of political parties on the issues of preparation of documents to be submitted to electoral commissions by the authorized representatives of political parties.
In the framework of preparation for the elections on the single voting day on September 14, the Russian Central Election Commission has prepared a number of guidelines regarding development of a schedule of activities for the preparation and holding of elections in the Russian Federation, regarding matters relating to the nomination and registration of candidates/lists of candidates for election to the bodies of the state power of the Russian Federation and local governments, as well as regarding the procedure for early voting in the premises of election commissions during elections and referendums at various levels.
Currently, a number of agreements on cooperation of the CEC of Russia with departments and agencies of the Russian Federation have been concluded. In particular, in the course of preparation for the elections the following agreements have been signed: the agreement with the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media and the agreement with the Federal Bailiff' Service regarding cooperation of state bodies in exercising their powers to protect the rights of subjects of personal data.
The important innovative direction of the CEC of Russia work is employment of equipment for automated work places of precinct election commissions (AWP PEC). The CEC of Russia developed and approved Rules of the procedure for establishing the voting results and determining the outcome of elections, referendums on the basis of the protocols of voting returns compiled electronically using AWP PEC.
On June 30, 2014, the demonstration of the equipments and automated work places' layout options was conducted successfully in the CEC of Russia.
The Russian CEC's scope of work in 2014-2015 also includes updating of technological equipments of polling stations. In accordance with the legislation on elections and referendums at all levels both stationary and portable ballot boxes made of transparent material will be used.
We strive to fulfill the task of providing the most complete and reliable information regarding elections to all participants of the electoral process. The functioning the website CEC of Russia is organized and scheduled in accordance with this task.
The section "The Legislation on Elections and Referendums" promptly informs the voters and all participants of the electoral process on any changes introduced to the legal basis for elections.
The sections "Documents of the CEC of Russia", "News of the CEC of Russia", "Topical Issues" as well as other sections regularly provide information on regulatory legal acts of the CEC of Russia regarding the preparation and holding of elections, on meetings with election officials and representatives of political parties and consequently adopted decisions, and on important events organized by the CEC of Russia, or with the participation of the CEC of Russia.
In the website section "Formation of Precinct Election Commissions and Reserves of Precinct Election Commissions Personnel" the systematized information and statistics on formation of Precinct Election Commissions and their personnel reserves in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are presented.
The most complete and detailed information on the preparation and conduct of elections on the single voting day can be found on our website in the section "Elections in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, September 14, 2014".
The following Internet services offered on our website are also noteworthy:
Service "Find your polling station", which provides an opportunity for voters to find information about the addresses of polling stations in the community in on-line mode;
Service "Find yourself in the voter list" allows voters to receive information about their presence in the list of voters at a particular polling station* ;
Service "Access to information about personal data processing by the State Automated System 'Elections'" allows learning about the personal data processing in the complexes of automation means of SAS "Elections" in accordance with Article 14 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2006, No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data".
The section of the site "Political Parties" not only provides access to the unique systematized information on the Russian political parties, including reports submitted by the political parties to the CEC of Russia, but also makes it possible to analyze the participation of political parties in the electoral process, and to receive information about guarantees of equal coverage of parliamentary parties' activity by state television and radio channels open to the public in between the elections.
Invite you to pay attention to a series of information-analytical bulletins "Regional Elections and Party Dynamics", and to three issues of the handbook "Political Parties in the Russian Federation" prepared with the participation of Russian Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. In the future, further publication of new editions of these guides is planned, and new issues will also be posted on the site.
Russian officials in charge of elections are working with all categories of voters - young people, people with disabilities and other categories of citizens. For this purpose opportunities offered by Internet are also used. For example, the CEC of Russia website and websites of the regional election commissions provide information regarding activities held for young and future voters to improve their legal culture and make them interested in the electoral process, about organized events, including those dedicated to the Day of young voters, about contests, competitions, quizzes etc. The CEC of Russia has developed the "Youth Electoral Concept", which will be implemented in 2014-2018 respectively. All activities related to the work with young people are highlighted in the sections "News of the CEC of Russia", "News from the Regions" and in the dedicated "Youth Section".
The CEC of Russia places great importance on the development of professional relations with partners among foreign electoral bodies and authorities, in particular, in the field of participation in international election observation processes, participation in international forums and in work of international organizations related to the electoral process. Information about the collaboration and experts' reports are provided in the section "International Cooperation of the CEC of Russia". The Russian Central Election Commission regularly and fruitfully interacts with the electoral administrations of countries of Latin America, including Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
The section "Video Broadcast of Meetings of the CEC of Russia" is also regularly updated. It includes not only the materials of the meetings of the Commission, but also the multi-media archive of video- and audio-recorded press conferences, meetings, and messages of members of the CEC of Russia delivered on television and radio. The section is also actively used with the aim of improvement of the legal culture of participants of the electoral process: a special link takes to the viewing of videos and educational films of the Russian Center for Training in Election Technologies under the CEC of Russia (RCTET under the CEC of Russia).
The current process of changes in the electoral legislation and their practical implementation in regional and local elections are certain stages of preparation for the federal elections in 2016 and 2018 respectively.
Dear users! The website of the CEC of Russia will allow you to obtain the necessary and sufficient information for effective improvement of the legal and political culture, for active participation in the preparation and conduct of elections, and for the fullest realization of Russian citizens' voting rights and the right to participate in the referendum.

"If the will of a number of people is confirmed in the coming weeks, we are very close," Magny Cours chief Serge Saulnier told France's Infosport on Monday.

Preachers Of LA Renewed For 2nd Season!
It appears that the viewer's cannot get enough of Preachers of LA. The show offers a glimpse into the polarizing pastors from Los Angeles. Aiming to show the "human side" of these preachers, the show is back! January 27th, Oxygen announced that the show would return for a second season.
"'Preachers of L.A.' touched the heart strings of our Oxygen viewers. They were captivated by the triumphs and tribulations of these men of God and the amazing women and families that stood alongside them" said Oxygen Senior Vice President of Original Programming and Development, Rod Aissa in a press release.
The first season, we were able to get a glimpse inside of the pastors from Los Angeles. And we have to admit that the show was very entertaining! From Bishop Noel Jones, Pastor Wayne Chaney, BishopRon Gibson, gospel singer Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Clarence McClendon and Pastor Jay Haizlip, the show is now expanding to different cities.
Casting for the new cities has already begun. As for "Preachers of LA," season two is scheduled to begin sometime next fall.

Fresh off the wave of reader acclaim he garnered for Full Clip, a Booth-premiered freestyle dedicated to late Northeastern hip-hop icon Guru, DMV up-and-comer Marky draws inspiration from a somewhat more surprising musical idol on the latest leak off his forthcoming, Kevin Nottingham/DJBooth.net-cosponsored street album. Run On finds producer The Madman serving up a synth-fortified sample from country legend Johnny Cash's classic track God Will Cut You Down as Marky matches the Man in Black's stone-cold badassitude with fittingly formidable lyricism. Is this rap hopeful destined to become "Bigger than the Northeast, bigger than Maryland, bigger than D.C.?" With the drive and ambition he showcases here, it seems likely. For more from the rising star, check out Journey to Markyland, USA: Rest Stop 2 when it reaches its destination – that is, our front page – on May 12.

Nouveau Very Close To Release?

Comment On This Article
Back in
Nouveau Companion 30
, we found out the Nouveau developers are getting very close to their first stable release. This first Nouveau driver release will include 2D, X-Video, and EXA acceleration across all NVIDIA graphics cards from the NV05 to NV4x. Recently there has been quite a number of commits to the xf86-video-nouveau git tree, which could be one last development hoorah before the first release.
Among the many commits to the Nouveau driver, some of the notable include implementing a nouveau_device struct, hooking up of some DMA functions, initial buffer object work, initial relocation work, EXA 1.4 pixmap hooks (but disable), enabling IFC uploads, and quite a bit of continuing work with RandR 1.2 support.
Once there is anything new to report on this open-source NVIDIA driver we will be sure to pass it on, and of course the Nouveau Companion 31.

Hale Reservation relies on the support of generous donors to fulfill our mission. Maintaining and managing an excess of 1,137 acres of land, over 60 buildings and structures, and providing programs for more than 7,000 children and 420 families annually is an expensive task. This unique mix of land management and preservation with comprehensive educational programming is valuable – worthy of your support.

Gifts to the Campership and Financial Aid program support our current year needs unless designated to the James E. Earley (JEE) Campership Fund. The JEE Fund operates as an endowment that supports only campership and financial aid. A portion of the interest earned from the account is used annually to support need for that year.

By Martin Bailey. News, Issue 229, November 2011Published online: 14 November 2011
Rodin's The Burghers of Calais, which is among Britain's most important public sculptures, does not appear to have a legal owner. It stands outside the Houses of Parliament and across the road from Henry Moore's Knife Edge Two Piece, which is similarly ownerless.
The Burghers of Calais was donated to "the nation" by the National Art Collections Fund, now the Art Fund. Depicting six life-size figures in chains, it commemorates the heroes of the 1347 siege of Calais.Cast in 1908, the London version is one of only four bronzes made during Rodin's lifetime. In 1911 the National Art Collections Fund bought it for £2,400. Two years later Rodin visited London to discuss its siting in Victoria Tower Gardens. The Burghers of Calais was finally unveiled by the government's Office of Works in 1915. This department became a ministry during the second world war and, after a long series of bureaucratic changes, most of its "works" functions were hived off to various agencies, with some residual responsibilities eventually passing to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Last month a spokesman denied that it owns the Rodin.Mystery ownerSo who does own it? Although adjacent to the Palace of Westminster, the Parliamentary Art Committee says that it is not theirs. Victoria Tower Gardens belongs to the sovereign, but is managed by Royal Parks. This has led to the assumption that Royal Parks owns the work. The Burghers of Calais has in recent years been lent to two exhibitions—the Art Fund-sponsored "Saved!" (Hayward Gallery, 2003-04) and "Rodin" (Royal Academy, 2006)—with Royal Parks being credited as the lender. A Royal Parks spokesman says that, although it looks after the Rodin, it does not own it. It said the owner is the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The Art Fund's database also records the DCMS as the owner.The DCMS, which oversees Royal Parks, contradicted its own agency. "It's not ours," a DCMS spokesman said, after double-checking.By the 1990s, The Burghers of Calais was in "desperate need of conservation", said the Art Fund, whose then chairman Nicholas Goodison launched a campaign. Wanting to get the work done promptly, he and his wife Judith undertook to fund it, to mark his retirement as chairman. The conservation project was a major event in the fund's centenary year in 2003. The conservation was arranged with Royal Parks, since the Art Fund was led to believe that The Burghers of Calais was owned by its parent body, the DCMS. The key point for Goodison was that Royal Parks undertook "to maintain the sculpture and be responsible for future conservation". Unsuitable black wax was removed from the sculpture, graffiti was cleaned off and the bronze was given a new protective coating. The sculpture was mounted on a more appropriate plinth in 2004.An Art Fund spokeswoman says "we clearly need to do everything we can to identify the current owner of the Rodin".On 1 November, after we went to press, a 1989 cast of just one of the figures of The Burghers of Calais was due for sale at Christie's, New York, estimated at $800,000 to $1.2m. The London sculpture, with six figures cast during Rodin's lifetime, is worth very considerably more.

BOSTON and THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) presented data today describing the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a class of internally-developed compounds that includes LX1031 and other compounds under evaluation by the company as potential treatments for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal disorders. LX1031 is currently under evaluation in a Phase 1b clinical trial in healthy volunteers.
Employing high-throughput screening of its proprietary chemical libraries, x-ray crystallography and medicinal chemistry, Lexicon scientists discovered and optimized a series of orally-administered, peripherally-acting small molecule inhibitors of the key enzyme responsible for producing serotonin in the gastrointestinal tract, tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1). In preclinical studies with these molecules, including LX1031, Lexicon scientists confirmed that serotonin levels could be predictably reduced in the intestine without affecting levels of the neurotransmitter in the brain, where it mediates mood and other behaviors. The data were presented here today at the American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition in Boston.
"Our genetic insights and chemistry expertise enabled us to discover a
class of potent molecules that can inhibit TPH activity in the
gastrointestinal tract while preserving normal levels of serotonin in the
brain, an accomplishment we believe represents a significant advance for
the field," commented Arthur T. Sands, M.D., Ph.D., president and chief
executive officer of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals. "Given serotonin's
established role as a neurotransmitter modulating gastrointestinal
function, these fin

Katerina Petrova 'Katherine Pierce'
Katherine Pierce is a vampire who both Damon and Stefan were once in love with. She is both an ancestor and doppelganger of Elena Gilbert.
She was believed to have been trapped in a tomb, but it is discovered that she was never in it. She is very smart and cunning, and tries to manipulate those around her for selfish reasons. She even tricked Rose into turning her into a vampire in order to escape Klaus.

Damon: You know what they are? Children. Like lighting a candle's going to make everything OK, or even saying a prayer. Or pretending Elena's not going to end up just like the rest of us murdering vampires. Stupid, delusional, exasperating little children. And I know what you're going to say: 'It makes them feel better, Damon.' So what? For how long? A minute, a day? What difference does it make? Because in the end, when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be. And a rock with a birthday carved into it that I'm pretty sure is wrong. So thanks, friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit. Because I should be long gone by now. I didn't get the girl, remember? I'm just stuck here fighting my brother and taking care of the kids. You owe me big.

Repeal of California's Transgender Student Rights Bill Moves to Full Signature Count
January 8, 2014 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
According to a randomized spot-check, the anti-LGBT campaign to overturn California's historic School Success and Opportunity Act has gathered enough signatures to trigger a full-count of all of the signatures acquired in the 58 counties, reported the Californian Secretary of State's Election Division.
The state requires 504,760 valid signatures in order to put the referendum on the November ballot, which will take an additional 30 business days to determine.
Repeal of AB1266 is a mean-spirited effort by groups determined to undermine any measure of LGBT protections.
To bolster support for repeal, the anti-LGBT campaign, which is backed by the discriminatory National Organization for Marriage, has mislead the public with fictitious stories of harassment and scare tactics around "privacy."
In truth, the School Success and Opportunity Act, which went into effect on January 1, addresses the exclusion of transgender students from classes and activities to ensure all students are provided the same opportunities.
HRC will continue to monitor this process. Stay tuned to the HRC Blog for more updates.

Mr. Outlaw was correct (The Citizen Online, March 11, 2014) when he said I had left out part of a quotation about drought in the Mediterranean and West Africa.
I was responding to Obama's prediction of drought in the U.S.A., and limited my remarks to that. In retrospect, that was misleading and a mistake on my part, and I apologize to Mr. Outlaw and the readers of this newspaper.
But (there's always a "but"), I stand by my understanding of science and the sciences of meteorology and climatology that Earth is warming and that climate is changing and will continue to change. Read More»

Mr. Lentz, the "truth" is often in the middle. But, not always.

I wanna say Grayson but Drake is the best robin in my opinion. He has the most potential and one of the few robins who could hold their own early on in their careers. The guy also had an amazing ongoing series which ran longer than Nightwing i think. He is also the only robin who can do the mantle of Batman justice when he becomes of age. Grayson was a good batman but Drake can be a great/legendary Batman like Bruce is
Who Is the Best Robin?
Bruce Wayne as Batman, Dick Grayson as Nightwing, and Tim Drake as Robin. Tim Drake is the Robin I know and love the best.
@GuruOfFunk said:
Bruce Wayne as Batman, Dick Grayson as Nightwing, and Tim Drake as Robin. Tim Drake is the Robin I know and love the best.
Yeah, exactly my thought process.
My favorite Robin is definitely... GARY GANZ aka the Spectacular Sunbird! ... hey, no fair! just kidding.
But for real, as of the last "NoBody" story-line, I'm starting to really lean toward Damian as my current favorite Robin. Sure the kid is a snotty punk, but he's far and away the strongest personality in the bat family right now. He's young, but he's a fearless ninja with the skill to surpass all the Robin's before him, and probably even his own father. Not to mention that he inherited his father's wicked intellegence.
Tim and Dick were always the lighter side of the Dynamic Duo; true do-gooders, while Batman was the Dark Avenger. With Damian we have a Robin that's as dark or even darker than Batman, and it brings a new and interesting dynamic to the story that really makes the Batman and Robin title my favorite DC title at the moment. I really like how Damien makes the usually stoic Batman so non-plussed all the time. You can tell Bruce loves the kid, but has no idea what to do with him. It's great.
I'm not sure that Damien has been around long enough to completely own the title of Best Robin yet. I think I'll give it another year before I say that he's the best Robin ever. That title still goes to Tim Drake. Tim was the first really interesting Robin that I didn't hate.
I don't know why so many say Grayson was the best Robin. I know he was the first Robin, and I love the fact that DC has allowed his character to grow-up and evolve. I think Grayson, overall, is one of the most well developed characters in any comic over the years, but as Robin? Nah, he was THE cornball, "Holy Geewiz," kid wonder, in fairy slippers and tighty shorts. He is much better as Nightwing. Heck, I even liked him as Batman, but he was boring and irratating as Robin. Honestly, until Tim Drake came around I was on the "Robin sucks" bandwagon. Anyone old enough to have been reading comics in the 80's knows exactly what I mean- Robin was an absolute joke for a while there (which was as much due to Jason Todd as Dick, but the character would need a major overall to interest readers again).
Tim Drake is the one who really changed the game. His character was the one that made Robin no longer suck, and showed why Batman actually is better off with a Robin. Ha! In those first Robin-free Drake issues, Batman was a wreckless mess. Also- The writing, writing, writing on the Tim Drake solo run of Robin was stellar! Bill Willingham especially wrote some chilling cross-genre horror Sci-Fi issues that still haunt me a bit to this day. Some of his ideas were so large in those issues, I found myself surprised to even find them within the confines of a Robin comic. I love the fact that every facet of the Robin character was delved into, including Batman's choice to dress up Robin in bright distracting colors while he wore black and his in the shadows. That brought up the question of whether Robin was just another tool in Batman's utility belt, or if he was a legitimate partner. I loved that storyline. To top it off, those Drake, Robin issues went beyond the comic, took on a deper meaning and talked about some pretty heavy real life issues such as mental illnesses, teen pregnancy, abortion, and addiction.
So, yeah... I love the Tim Drake era of Robin. I also loved his run as Red Robin as well. I think DC is crazy to not have a Tim Drake solo series out right now in the New 52. I'm sorry to say that the Teen Titans just doesn't cut it. It's a so-so title, but no where as good as Robin or Red Robin. I also thought Stephanie Brown really got short changed as Batgirl in the new 52 as her character was finally really starting to blossom. So, why not a Red Robin & Spoiler title? I'd love that. There would certainly be a lot for those two to discuss to carry many stories I'd imagine.
Stephanie wasn't really a Robin long enough for me to consider her among the best. Plus, she got fired by the Batman. She'd already been dumped on by the Batman when she was Spoiler and ousted by the Birds of Prey. Getting fired as Robin and then killed by Black Mask made her character the most sad depressing DC character of all time until she came back as Batgirl.
Jason Todd? I love him as the Red Hood. The recent series is a bit coarse and silly for taste, but it's still the best thing we've seen with his character. But as Robin? Are you kidding me? DC actually had people put it to a vote whether or not Jason Todd should be killed and the majority of the voters agreed that they wanted them dead. Later on, some of the voters who vote against killing him have allegedly stated that they thought were voting to keep Dick Grayson alive and had no clue who Jason Todd even was. He was a total failure as Robin. I hate to say it, but the best thing to happen to his charater (and at the time Robin as well) was to die. His death did create the jumping point for Tim Drake's Robin and later for Todd's epic return as Red Hood.
Carrie Kelly? She's not the only alternate world/time Robin, so I'm not sure why she's being singled out on the list. There's that Robin 3000 and Toy Wonder Robin and then the other future girl Robin- whose names I can't remember because I didn't like any of those comics. LOL! Sorry. I don't even want to discuss Carrie. It makes me want to yawn.
So to sum it all up...
Tim Drake IS the best all-time Robin, but Damien is also great and is probably the most interesting Batfamily character of the moment. Dick Grayson is an amazing overall character, but his cornball Robin is nowhere near as cool as Nightwing. Jason Todd rocks as Red Hood, but the only thing his Robin did well was to die. Stephanie didn't really get break in the Robin costume before being fired by Batman, and is therefore more interesting as Batgirl, Spoiler and a between costumes character than she was as Robin. And Carrie Ke....yawn.... ***zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
I think people prefer Dick as a character, but Tim or Damian as Robin.
To Me Tim is the best, I love how he shares Dick's charm and humor, but Bruce's "the ends justify the means" attitude and detective work.
To me personally Tim Drake is the absolute best Dick is great and all and i think he receives the most praise because he is the most well know, but Tim just has more talent and skill, i really wish Tim was in more of the tv shows and movies because to me he is the most modern, why do i think that i have no idea :P
My favorites are Tim Drake and Carrie Kelly. I like Dick Grayson even though he is the most basic and generic, he is at least likeable to me unlike Damian Wayne who in my opinion in order to like him you have to be a fangirl, hes the type of character fangirls get orgasms over, or I dunno something else. Jason Todd is the bad seed and I don't think anybody really likes him. Stephanie was okay.
I repeat, Dick is the overall best character but Tim was the best Robin out of them from a technical standpoint.
Dick was definitely my favorite Robin as a whole, but I seriously, SERIOUSLY disliked Stephanie - she annoyed me to no end! I actually wish Carrie could've been in her place instead, she at least was cute and fun. As for the rest: Damian makes me laugh (he's such a brat, I can't help but love him!), Jason makes me both sad and angry, and Tim...I like Tim because he knows what's up.
Hmm... That's a tough one. I'd say Dick Grayson, but when I think of his Robin, I just think of the campy version. I'd say Tim Drake.
Dick Grayson. He was my favorite, to be honest. With his athletic background and how funny he is, I found him to be the best Robin in my opinion. Maybe it's because he's the very first Robin I know. Jason Todd was a very interesting and rebellious Robin, which is very human and believable, but I was never favoured him. Tim Drake was a smart and cool Robin. I liked him, but not as much as I liked Grayson. I don't know much about Damian Wayne, so I can't really say anything about him. As for Stephanie Brown... no comment... I deteste female Robins. Anyway, Grayson is my answer, except for when he was in Teen Titans. I never liked that Teen Titans series.
I like Dick and Tim the most. I'll probably lean towards Tim because I started watching BTAS when Tim was introduced, although I've seen more cartoons with Dick as Robin. For me its interchangeable because I love them both. I prefer Jason Todd as Red Hood because I read that before I had the chance to read the comics with his tenure as Robin. And what I've read of Damian I do not like. He is funny but he is a jerk and I can't stand him. Also, I am still wrapping my head around the fact that Batman has a biological son. Kind of ruins the narrative for me.
Side kick wise im with Tim Drake. He was the most loyal out of all of them. He rarely talked back. Also Dick's run with robin was boring and became entertaining when he turned into nightwing.

1) What about when Tim doubted Bruce's innocence in the murder of Silver St. Cloud? Nightwing was the one who ruthlessly defended Bruce, not Tim or Barbara.
2) Dick never had a Nightwing-type to vent to when Bruce was being difficult or a father at home. When you mean "talked back", do you mean the time Bruce and Dick stopped seeing eye to eye on crimefighting?
