Well maybe not an impressive injury, but an embarrassing one for sure. About two weeks ago I got a new Romanian AK47 for my birthday. I have no experience with an AK, but it was a lot cheaper than the AR's and I've heard they are pretty good.
I've been wanting to strip it down and clean it real good, but havent had the time to learn how. Today I searched the net and found instructions on how to field strip it. Surprisingly it looked pretty easy.
I took it out on the patio, and took it down just like the video showed. I lovingly cleaned and lubed it, put it back together. Function checked it, perfect. (I am the )
Then I noticed something else in the box. A little package that has what looks like a spare part of some kind. OMGosh it's a little tube shaped cleaning kit. How weird is that I thought. I wonder why its shaped like that? Then I noticed a spring loaded trapdoor on the stock of the rifle. It must go in there.. those AK guys are genius'.
So I pushed the kit through the trapped door, and it was swallowed up in the stock.
Then :queue disaster music: I poked my thumb in to get it back out, and that was the wrong move. The trapped door opened, my thumb went in, and the spring behind the cleaning kit, pushed the kit into my thumb, and bent it 90 degrees at the first joint. The spring tension held my thumb bent, and there was no way to pull it out.
I sat there, trapped, almost helpless with my thumb stuck in the butt of my new AK. I tried oil, and wedging something in there, but it was no use, it was plumb stuck good. Images of going in the emergency room with a AK on my thumb started going through my head. Finally I called for my wife to bring me a screw driver, and between the two of us, were removed the butt plate and freed my nicely grooved thumb. (picture doesn't do it justice) All's well that ends well I guess, however it may be a while before my wife lets me clean guns unsupervised again.

I've had my kalanchoe for almost 4 years and it has always been very healthy and blooming. 2 weeks ago I started noticing the stems emerging with the buds, so I was very happy because that would mean to have flowers by Christmas (withough light conditioning!!). Well today I noticed that on several stems there are black bugs, plenty of them!! What are they? What do I do? So sad...
Thank you! |

Aphids! Blast them with water to remove them. ~Rosemarie |
Thanks, Rosemarie. I live in an apartment, so I can't use a hose for it, do they "unstick" easily or do I need a lot of water pressure. Also, in another bulletin board they said "scales" and now I'm confused, is there any difference in treatment? |
Those are aphids and Rosemarie's advice is good. I would invest in a one quart pump up spray bottle. That way you can carry the plant outdoors and wash them off there. It doesn't take a lot of pressure. randy |
I have refilled an old spray bottle with water and I'm trying but it is very hard because not all come out and pressing the handle once and again for 10 minutes have left my arm dead... I'm going to try in the shower. I also have an insect killer against -among others- aphids. Should I use it after the "shower". |
That's why I recommended a 1 quart "pump up" spray bottle :-). If you are wanting to add something to the water, I would just use a drop or two of liquid dish-washing detergent. After it's been on the plant for 20 minutes or so, then give it a shower. I'm not real big on bathing with aphids myself though. randy |
Hello, I just put the plant in the shower and sprayed it there with the hand shower. But I still see some (lots of foliage prevent the water from reaching everywhere around the buds and I'm afraid to use more pressure and damage the buds). BTW, will the buds survive this? |
- Posted by cactuspolecat Tasmania Aust (My Page) on Sun, Dec 11, 05 at 4:21
Hey lameri, if you have pet tropical fish, they love 'em. We used to have pet fish, I used to knock them off into a jar and give them to the fish. Alternatively, if a jet of water is is not the answer, try a houseplant insecticide aerosol. Downunder, we use a Mortein brand called "House and Garden"... but there is a number of others. Don't use ordinary insect spray as this will likely kill your plant. The Aphids love any new growth and flower buds, you often get the green aphids on rose buds. CP |

Lameri, Safer will work just fine and won't damage your plant. I use it combined with more potent stuff constantly on all of the crassula genera without any damage to the plants. Go for it. Get rid of the little beasties before they do real damage to the bloom. I'll bet that you've had ants around this plant as well. They farm the aphids for their sweet excretions. Kill the ants, or you will never get rid of the aphids. Buck |
Thanks, Buck. It's very good to know that Safer insect killer won't damage the buds, since I didn't seem to be able to get them all out with the water and I did see how I was starting to damage the buds with the pressure. I hope the spray can reach everywhere and kill them all. How will I distinguish the dead aphids from the ones still alive? So that I can make sure they are all dead... |
- Posted by BuckHemenway z19 SoCAl (My Page) on Mon, Dec 12, 05 at 2:15
The dead ones will look a lot like they do now, just won't squish, just fall off when touched. Use a small soft bristled brush and sweep them off. |

I recently changed bank accounts using the switching scheme and the new bank didn't set up all of the direct debits correctly as they should have done.

I wasn't aware of the problem and the bank has confirmed to me in writing that it is their fault. Will I still be prosecuted for no insurance, seeing as it wasn't my fault?

Gear Review
I love the idea that the pads are removable but at the same time, they can be quite difficult to stick back in because the hold inserts are so small. As for taking impact, I don't really find it that adequate, I find my natural buttucks provides better impact absorption than the pads. Falling on my ass while wearing the pads knocked the wind out of me rather than absorb the impact. I've fallen on my natural ass plenty and I never had the wind knocked out of me like that before. I may try the d30 version to see if there's a difference.

coin first day cover
the Queen Mother's 100th birthday
. The
coin cover
features the special
£5 pounds
coin released by the Royal Mint to mark this milestone of Queen Elizabeth. The coin depicts her portrait, her signature and the years 1900 - 2000 on the coin. It first day cover also hosts a miniature sheet of stamps with Royal personage; a fascinating 'portrait gallery" of the different generations of Windsor's. The PNC cover is postmarked 100 Years Clarence House London in gold ink and dated the 4th August 2000. The large first day cover enjoys a limited edition of 10,000.
The Queen Mother's 100th Birthday coin cover background:
As part of the celebrations surrounding the Queen Mother's one hundredth birthday, this special stamp issue has been made in which the Queen, Queen Mother, prince Charles and Prince William appear in a family portrait. The stamp sheet shows the family portrait in full whilst each respective twenty seven pence first class stamp focuses separately on the individual Royal Family member. Each stamp also contains the Queen's head in silhouette. The issue is unique in that it combines the Queen Mother's hundredth birthday celebration with the first ever appearance of Prince William on a postage stamp.
There have been a number of other famous commemorative stamps with the Queen Mother's portrait. In 1948 there was the commemorative Silver Wedding issue and the very attractive birthday issue celebrating the Queen mother's eightieth and ninetieth birthdays. The fact that the portrait depicts both the first grandson of the Queen Mother and the first grandson of the Queen who are also respectively first and second heir to the throne makes this issue very special and a wonderful tribute to the Queen Mother at this centennial celebration.

In 1994, Jeff Gordon got his first victory at NASCARs highest level, at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Gordon was 22 then, with a skimpy mustache and a startling amount of talent.
When he knew 20 years ago he was going to win the Coca-Cola 600, he bawled his way through the final 10 laps. He cried again in Victory Lane, celebrating with his family. He felt, he says now, the same way he did on the days when his two children were born.
Now Gordon is 42. The mustache he grew it trying to look older and because Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty both had one is long gone.
It just looked ridiculous on a 22-year-old that could barely grow a mustache, he said with a laugh in a recent interview.
There is a bit of gray in Gordons sideburns now, and he is much closer to the end of his driving career than the beginning. But he says he finally feels like his personal life and racing career are in perfect balance.
Gordon followed that first win in 1994 with 88 more and ranks third on NASCARs all-time win list, trailing only Petty and David Pearson. He is a certainty to make NASCARs Hall of Fame in Charlotte once he retires, but he hasnt won a series championship since 2001.
This, though, might be the year.
Gordon enters Sundays Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway leading the Sprint Cup standings and practically assured a place in the 2014 NASCAR playoffs.
The wildcard Sunday is Gordons problematic back. He had to sit out most of practice Saturday because of back spasms, and while the plan is still for him to drive 600 miles Sunday, reserve driver Regan Smith has been put on standby in case Gordon cant.
I think Jeff could be headed for a year like the ones he had in the late 1990s, when he wins five or six races, said Rick Hendrick, who has employed Gordon as a driver since Gordons 1993 rookie season in Cup racing. Hes driving like he did when he was 22 again.
That has calmed even Gordons own retirement speculation. When will it come? Gordon doesnt know.
Ive always said I want to run as long as Im healthy, competitive and enjoying it, Gordon said. All that is happening this year.
When Gordon was in his mid-30s, he often said he didnt want to be driving when he was 40. That in part had to do with the chronic back pain that has plagued him for years and flared again in the past two days.
But Gordon will turn 43 in August.
Flexibility workouts have helped with the back issues. And being in contention every week has made racing fun again.
Last year was a rough year for him and he had retiring on his mind, said Ingrid Vandebosch, the former Belgian model who married Gordon in 2006. She and Gordon have a 6-year-old daughter, Ella, and a 3-year-old son, Leo. But he has a whole new outlook on it now. He really is in a happy place in his life. He is a great father. Hes working out, hes very healthy and hes having a wonderful time racing.
1994 vs. 2014
Gordons life is far different now than it was when he got that first win 20 years ago. Now he sets aside every Wednesday to eat sushi with Leo at Dean & DeLuca because thats what Leo likes to do. Gordon keeps Legos at the racetrack so he can build with the kids during rain delays. On school days, he drops Ella off at 7:50 a.m. before going to work himself.
My daughter is almost 7, and she lights up when I walk in a room, Gordon said with obvious delight. When I leave she says, Where are you going? Dont leave! A lot of times I wish I didnt have to run off.
Jeff and Ingrid get up at 6:30 a.m., because thats when the kids get up. Although Gordon is a multi-millionaire who even boasts his own brand of wine (The Jeff Gordon Collection), in other ways, his life is not so different from that of other parents with young children. The family lives in good-natured fear of missing the kids 7:30 p.m. bedtime.
In May 1994, Gordon had a lot more free time. He was single but seriously dating a former Miss Winston model named Brooke Sealey who had attended UNC Charlotte. They would get married six months later.
Gordon was also on the verge of picking up his Wonder Boy nickname from Dale Earnhardt Sr. Gordon hated the nickname, although it also implied a level of respect from racings Intimidator.
Everything in Gordons life seemed golden two decades ago, and he was disliked by some longtime racers for it. Sterling Marlin, who won two Daytona 500s, told me in 1995: There is some resentment of Jeff in the sport. A lot of other guys have had to struggle a lot more than he ever has Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt, myself. Weve all been poor enough that we didnt have two nickels to rub together. Not Jeff.
Man, who is that?
Gordon wasnt actually born rich. He grew up in California and Indiana, a racing prodigy whose career was guided by his stepfather, John Bickford.
Gordon missed two proms and most of his graduation to race. He never had a best friend his own age. By the time he took the mandatory drivers education class in high school in Indiana, he had won more than 100 races.
Hendrick discovered Gordon in 1992, running all over the racetrack in a race in Atlanta. Gordon wasnt Southern, like most stock-car racers were at the time, and he wasnt well-known. Hendrick told the man standing next to him: Watch that white car, because that guy is about to wreck himself. Hes out of control.
Instead, Gordon completed several risky passes and took the lead in four laps. Hendrick marveled: Man, who is that?
Hendrick soon signed Gordon, gave him a great car and pit crew and one of the best crew chiefs the sport has ever had in Ray Evernham.
Jeff was going to change the sport, Hendrick said. I knew that.
Racing was my life
The Coca-Cola 600 in 1994 was Gordons 41st start at NASCARs highest level. Although he had come close numerous times and was the circuits rookie of the year in 1993, he had yet to drive his No. 24 Chevy to victory.
Evernham called for a risky two-tire pit stop in the final minutes. Wallace, who had had the dominant car for much of the day, took four tires in his last pit stop, which took nine seconds longer than Gordons did.
Gordon won.
The driver said through his tears: This is the highest feeling in the world. ... If I only win one Winston Cup race in my career, Id be happy.
Gordons 89th Cup win came two weeks ago, in Kansas. Looking back now at that first victory, he said: I was just somebody who was living the dream. I was on this incredible slope of success and just enjoying every moment. Not looking ahead, not looking back. Racing was my life, so it was all about that.
Neighbors, teammates, rivals
Nobodys life is really perfect. Even as Gordon won 40 races in a stunning four-year period in the late 1990s, his marriage was crumbling. Brooke filed for divorce in 2002 by then the couple lived in Florida. In 2003, after court-ordered mediation, she was granted a divorce settlement of at least $15.3 million.
The failed marriage made Gordon seem more human. More likable, even. So did the fact that he was being overtaken as the face of NASCAR.
Jeff and Ingrid Gordon lived for several years in New York, where they originally met. But they moved back to Charlotte three years ago, looking for a good place to raise their children. And in the Gordons south Charlotte neighborhood, the main reason he has not won a series championship since 2001 lives across the street.
Jimmie and Chandra Johnson are the Gordons neighbors and close friends. The couples joke about digging a tunnel under the road so their children can get to each others houses more easily. Gordon and Johnson sometimes find themselves in the same carpool line at their kids school. The two are teammates at Hendrick Motorsports.
But Jimmie Johnson is also Gordons biggest rival. Since Gordon won his most recent championship, in 2001, Johnson has won an astonishing six. Gordon hasnt won a championship since the Cups title sponsor changed, nor has he won one since NASCAR first adopted a playoff format in 2004.
Ive never really won a Sprint Cup, Gordon told a group of fans at the NASCAR Hall of Fame recently. I get called a four-time Sprint Cup champion all the time. ... But when I walk into the room at home where I have my trophies displayed, I see four Winston Cup trophies. So its been a long time.
Is this partly because Gordon has lost some of his driving ability? The statistics would suggest that. Gordon acknowledges hes not as aggressive a driver as he was in his mid-20s.
From 1995-2004, Gordon averaged 6.7 wins per year. From 2005 to the present, he has averaged 2.0.
Yet Gordon remains confident. I asked him recently who would win a race between the 42-year-old Gordon and the 22-year-old Gordon.
Depends on what kind of race it was, he said. When youre young, youre more courageous and probably more aggressive. And when you get more experience, you learn how to harness that. So if it took more patience, today Id beat that guy. Id finesse him. But I will say that guy didnt have much fear. He hadnt hit anything yet.
Lost and found
With Gordon having a championship-caliber season, the retirement question has faded. Eventually, Gordon will likely transition into TV hes such a natural in front of the camera that he hosted Saturday Night Live in 2003.
Hendrick, who has Gordon under a lifetime contract, said he will let Gordon decide when its time to retire. Could he race until age 50?
No, I dont think so, Hendrick said. We wont see 50. But we could see three more years. ... But hes going to make that call.
Said Vandebosch of her husband: I think he kind of lost the place for awhile the fine line between something just being a job and having fun while enjoying your job. But he has found it again.
Twenty years later, Gordon looks back on his first win with fondness for the 22-year-old who knew little except how to go fast.
Twenty years it blows my mind, Gordon said. I still consider myself a kid, but I know that Im not. But I certainly have a better idea of who I am and what I want out of life now than I did in 1994.
I thought I had a lot of things figured out back then. But looking back on it, that wasnt true at all. It has taken a lot of years of racing and being a dad and trying to figure out the right balance in life. It all seems to be coming together. But heck, like all of us, I just want some more time. For everything.

The Vice Style 'Romanian Prison Vogues' shoot explores the fashion and lives of prisoners at the country's only detention center for women, Târgșor. The eye-opening photographs document what life for these women is like in a country where prisoners are allowed to wear their own clothes.
From a 22-year-old serving 16 months for theft to a 36-year-old woman with a 20-year sentence for murder, the photos capture the differences between each prisoner, and how they view their lives on the inside. Journalist Ioana Moldoveanu explains how the women dress not exactly how they want, but in ways that will allow them to fit in and not call attention to themselves. For the photoshoot, however, they were encouraged to wear their favorite outfits, with help from stylist Dana Anghel.
If you're looking for an incredibly original and insightful article and photoset, the Vice Style 'Romanian Prison Vogues' shoot is the perfect place to start.

I'm refering to the park surrounding Zoo Atlanta, also known as Grant Park, which is owned by the city of Atlanta.
My point was, it sounded like you were making the argument that you really didn't need one there. Legality aside, which I agree with you on there... obey the law, but it sounds like your insisting that your really don't need one there. Unless... as I asked... you were being sarcastic.. which you failed to answer in your response.
We all agree that law is law.
But... again... are you making the argument that since they have security its not needed? That was my question.
Gotcha! see I figured as much and so I was giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one. Not a problem neighbor!
It is illegal to carry on public transportation? I think you might need to move to a new city. I ride oregon public transit all the time (saves me the hassle of fighting traffic) and we recently had an elderly man beaten with a baseball bat by some crazy fellow. There is no way in hell I would ride any public transit if I wasn't allowed to carry.
To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.

I don't ride public transportation, and would rather be beaten than do so.
Concealed means Concealed...
The ride to the zoo can be a little "stressful"... as can the people in the parking lot and zoo...
When I go, I have my family with me, so ... concealed means concealed. :)
Man, this thread makes me really thankful for my state laws.
I spent one day in Atlanta a few months ago, and I'm not keen to go back, if I can avoid it! If I'm going to live in a place where the right to carry is so restricted I might as well move back to California and at least enjoy the weather! ;)

The City of Atlanta still has it's pre-empted ban on carry in parks on the books. They have stated in their briefs to GCO's lawsuit that they fully intend to continue enforcing their illegal gun bans.

The Zoo will never be the same without Willie Bee (RIP)...
Atlanta is one of the worst places on Earth. Grant Park has cleaned up a lot since the late 90s (massive influx of gay men really had some positive effects on the place), but I still hate going there. One wrong turn in Atlanta and you're in crackville. It's a rough city, but luckily the Zoo is a straight shot from the interstate (Boulevard Ave. I think it's called) and surrounded by the nicer parts of Grant Park. That being said... I also had two attempted bike stealings, one failed and quite personal with some teenagers, the other successful (I left my bike on the front porch of a friends house for less than two minutes), on that road just past the Zoo (at Boulevard and Atlanta Ave.).
As a final note... the Atlanta Police are totally incompetent (not exaggerating) and will respond to your dire emergency situation within a few hours.
Half measures availed us nothing...
Sounds like you want to risk it all by going to a city that is high in crime, going to a park that forbids you your right to protect yourself and all for just wanting to see the monkey cage?
I'm getting the idea that if you want to see wild animals in Atlanta, you don't have to go to the zoo, you just have to venture out into the city! Yikes!
"For evil to flourish all that is required is for good men to spout clichés." - Hugh Laurie
The "public gathering" provision of Georgia's CCW law renders that law nearly useless.
The "compromises" that had to be made in some states (Georgia & Virginia come readily to mind) are abhorrent.
You need to study up on what "former" and "latter" mean.
He was clearly saying, sarcastically, that Georgia has managed to nearly rid itself of water, but that efforts to rid itself of guns will not be able to succeed.
And I challenge your notion that "security" in any place is sufficient to take the place of going armed. You stridently state, "There isn't a reason to have a gun in the Zoo. Same reason you can't have one at a Braves game, or the Olympics. There is security there..." Ooooh, there's security there! And they're sworn to take a bullet for you, and every other zoo patron, right? Puh-lease.
Beyond that, you're saying that we should be prevented from bringing firearms to the zoo because some crazy might decide to shoot an elephant.
That is actually a great argument for us not being allowed to take a firearm to the MALL, or the MOVIES... because, you know, one of us "crazies" might actually decide to shoot a HUMAN BEING there!
(Are elephants more precious than human beings? 'Cause you seem to be arguing that we need to keep anyone who might have a gun away from elephants in a zoo, but you're not arguing against CCW in places where we might come into contact with actual people.
It seems as though you are arguing that gun control has the potential to actually work at keeping criminal or psychotic types from bringing guns to places and committing mayhem.
Maybe you just haven't been reading this forum long enough.

Sin Circle: Male dancers stripped on St. Armands
Date: January 16, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
A "ladies only" trip to St. Armands Circle might include spa treatments and shopping at high-end boutiques, followed by wining and dining.
But in January 1980, St. Armands was stripped for at least two nights of its identity as an upscale shopping destination.
The Longboat Observer reported in its Jan. 18, 1980, issue that the former Ruby Tuesday's on the Circle held a "Ladies Only" show that "had the audience close to hysteria" for two consecutive Tuesday nights.
The women chanted, "We want the men," in unison, before six male dancers from The Male Factor began their act fully-clothed but stripped down to bikini underwear by the time they finished their performance.
Restaurant owners estimated that they had to turn away nearly 1,200 women who wanted to scope out the disco dancers.
Ladies who attended ranged in age from their early 20s to over 75. Their behavior was anything but bawdy. They politely applauded and occasionally whistled at the dancers, according to a manager.
The owner told the Longboat Observer that he expected the idea to be a success but never anticipated it would draw such crowds.
Meanwhile, the disco dancers drew mixed reactions from St. Armands residents and merchants.
Ruby Tuesday's owner said that some business owners were pleased by the event's success. Some ladies who were turned away went to other Circle restaurants, instead.
Still, the reaction of individual members of the St. Armands Merchants Association included:
"The St. Armands community doesn't need this."
One merchant described it as "reprehensible."
"The next thing we'll have is a porno book store on the Circle," said another.
Others saw it as a positive development.
"Usually about the time when Ruby's closes, young males sometimes wander about the Circle pulling up plants, breaking some windows and smashing trash cans," a merchant said. "The ladies were the model of behavior and no vandalism was reported."
One "Ladies Only-"night patron told the Longboat Observer that she saw nothing wrong with men seeing strippers. Why then, she asked, shouldn't women be able to watch male strippers, as well?
The dancers' Tuesday-night appearances became a regular presence on the Circle in the early 1980s, but the Male Factor's fame extended beyond Ruby Tuesday's. By 1981, the dancers were preparing for a Las Vegas appearance that would become the first male dance group to perform in Sin City.

Re: Zedo's Flyball Challenge
Zedo's Flyball Challenge I have several customers and friends that do sporting events with their dogs....like Agility, Frisbee and Flyball. I had never heard of Flyball until I saw a show about it on the Animal Planet. It's such a fun sport to watch and the dogs really seem to love it. If you haven't seen it before Flyball is a dog sport relay where the dogs jump over a set of hurdles and then capture a tennis ball from a board at the end of the track, they then return with the ball and the next dog in the relay is set in motion. The dogs in flyball are pets first and competitors second and it's quite clear at the end of the race that the pets enjoy the event just as much as the pet 'guardians'. Thanks for looking!

Re: Odin and his Pets
in Norse mythology, Odin (the Allfather of their pantheon) is known to have 4 pets. Hugin (thought) and Munin (memory) the two ravens, and Freki and Geri whose names translate to Ravenous and Greedy, the 2 wolves.
Awesome just doesn't get across how amazing this shirt is.
Sad, funny, and simple. Great use of those dots to add some texture- good decision! Good to see you back in a derby!
This is my dog Scout! Enjoy! When I put him in these red shoes he won't move...it's as if he is stuck. It is really funny!

so cute! I love the look. I knew you'd rock this derby it looks great on cranberry, glad you chose that color!
So many great decisions- the way you did the spots, the texture and pattern on the throne, the color choice for the shadow, the yellow shirt... All that and the overall idea is cool, too. I think this is my favorite, even better than Blitzkreig. PROPS!
Re: Why elephants make lousy pets
Sure, they're great for curling up on your lap on a lazy night, and they're great for chasing a frisbee in the park. But if the firefighters have to get your pet elephant out of the tree one more time, they're going to start billing you for it.

If you think you're too small for hackers to direct their malware your way, think again. The number of targeted attacks against SMBs, where cybercriminals specifically target organizations using customized malware and social engineering, has doubled in the first six months of 2012. Many smaller businesses find themselves vulnerable to these attacks because they have fewer defenses and limited budgets.
Join Symantec's security experts and small business expert Anita Campbell of Small Business Trends on Thursday, July 19 at 1:00 p.m. PT / 4:00 p.m. ET to chat about the latest threats to SMBs and how to protect your company from targeted attacks.
SMBs need to take steps to educate employees about the latest internet-based threats and how to prevent them, while implementing technologies to protect their valuable information. Our SMB experts will cover the following:
According to Apple, nearly one in four computers sold in the United States is a Mac. The Flashback virus, which targets a Java vulnerability in Mac OS for which Apple has since issued a security update, spread quickly and more viruses are sure to follow. SMBs that use Macs to fuel their businesses need to take the appropriate steps to protect your information.
How did we get to this point? Imagine you grew up in a small town where you never had to lock your doors. This town is tucked away in the countryside, where surely no criminals would ever care to travel. But over time, more and more people move to your little paradise, seeking escape from life in the big city. When you come home one evening and see that you've been robbed, you finally realize that your little town has changed forever. It can no longer lie...

Do you want to fit into those skinny jeans in time for summer?
Then it's time to stop mindlessly inhaling the breadbasket and snacking on candy, but you don't have to go completely carb-free.
Certain carbs can be your friends, according to "Bread Is the Devil," a new book by Heather Bauer and Kathy Matthews. Bauer told "Good Morning America" that brown bread is healthy, alcohol is good "in moderation" and freshly squeezed juice is always good.
She breaks carbs down into two camps: "Angel" carbs that people should eat, and their "devil" counterparts. Stay away from those. "Of course, the devil carbs would be the bread basket … the bagel, muffin, scone, pasta, pizza," plus candy and other sweets, she said.
Scroll down for tasting summertime snack ideas and an Angel carbs shopping list.
Some devil carbs are surprisingly sneaky. Hundred-calorie snack packs may seem like a great idea – if you have the will power to eat just one pack. Juice is another devil carb, she said.
Those who have to have their orange juice should make sure it's no more than four ounces and 100 percent fruit juice — because it has more fiber, so keeps you fuller, longer.
Cereals may seem like a healthy food, right? But there are a lot of not-so-good cereals on the market.
If you like cereal for breakfast, look for ones that have 5 or more grams of fiber, so you'll feel fuller longer.
But not all breads are bad carbs.
"There are so many good breads," Bauer said. "You want to look for the bread with the most amount of fiber, you want to make sure it's 100 percent whole grain … There are a lot of brands you can find two slices for 80 calories. And that would be considered an angel carb."
Avoid white breads and those with zero fiber, she said.
Some angel carbs are sneaky. One such example? Alcohol. But one glass only – of wine or light beer.
Frozen dinners are also angel carbs "because it's an opportunity to eat carbs that you wouldn't normally give yourself … but it's a finite portion so you're looking at volume that's under 350 calories which you would never get if you were cooking," Bauer said.
If frozen dinners aren't enough for you, fortify them with steamed vegetables.
Finally, if you're trying to diet, don't eliminate carbs altogether. Just eat the healthy ones.
Suggestions for Summertime Snack Treats
Here are Bauer's suggestions for eating great while sticking to your weight loss goals:
Lemon flavored Greek Yogurt: Chobani makes a great one, but there are some other companies that carry this flavor as well. Perfect for a summer parfait. Take a parfait glass, start with one layer on lemon yogurt, a layer of fresh raspberries and blueberries. Repeat 3 or 4 times depending on the desired thickness of the layers. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours. This refreshing treat will only run you about 225 to250 calories. It has more than 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber and can be made ahead of time!
Whole Foods Yellowfin Tuna Burgers: Wild, never farm-raised. One patty comes in at 130 calories, which is about 200 calories less than your average hamburger. Also, tuna burgers leave room for delicious low-cal toppings such as fresh ginger, wasabi and low sodium soy sauce.
A great sauce to try: 1 Tablespoon Hellman's low-fat mayo , 1 teaspoon water and 1 tablespoon wasabi powder, fresh lemon juice and ½ clove minced garlic. Mix in bowl for a low cal wasabi-garlic mayo.
Annie's Naturals makes a tasty light dressing (called Gingerly Vinaigrette) that can be used in lieu of a creamy rémoulade.
Food For Life Baking Company Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain English Muffins: If you're firing up the grill at a barbecue, swap a traditional white roll or potato roll for an Ezekiel English muffin to add 6 grams of fiber. White rolls will leave you craving additional simple starches (potato chips, French fries, pasta salad) and lack fiber completely.
Good Food Made Simple Egg White Patties: A dieter's savior. These egg white patties are the perfect pairing with an Ezekiel English muffin for a hearty, high protein, high fiber diet.
Amy's Light & Lean Roasted Polenta: From the newest line of Amy's products, the polenta meal barely hits the radar with 140 calories. If needed, I tell my clients to add some extra spinach or Swiss chard. The Amy's Spinach lasagna is also a huge hit with clients. It enables dieters to still have pasta, without tons of calories.
Matt's Munchies: A "working food," these fruit snacks take awhile to eat which keeps idle hands busy. One of my favorite flavors is Island Mango, but the new flavors (Tangy Apricot and Mango Acai) are ideal for warm weather. They range from 40 to 80 calories, much lower than a dried fruit option.
GNU Fiber Bars: The newest flavors include Carrot Cake, Blondie and Blueberry Cobbler, which can be purchased in a sampler pack on their website. They'll give your taste buds a flavoring of dessert without all of the calories. Ideal for a mid-afternoon snack or directly after dinner to avoid late-night snacking.

Breakfast Topic: Class vs. content {WoW}
Sep 10th 2008 4:25PM Enhancement is my passion...
I could not agree more!
(Here's hoping we do not have to wear dresses in Wrath.)
Ask A Beta Tester: Death Knights, bears, and buckets {WoW}
Aug 1st 2008 9:43PM Thank you for the response, Mr. Whitcomb. Now if only wowhead would list those (obviously subject to change) runic power costs...
Ask a Beta Tester: More Titan's Grip {WoW}
Jul 31st 2008 4:05PM Death Knight question.
I have read that all Runic Power goes away when an ability that requires Runic Power is used. However, not all abilities (that I see on wowhead) indicate how the ability scales with Runic Power. My question: Do all abilities that require Runic Power actually scale with the amount of Runic Power one has? It would be a letdown if they did not.
To draw an analogy: A Rogue needs Combo Points to perform a finishing move. However, no finishing move has a flat effect whether the Rogue spent one or five Combo Points. They all scale with more points.
Blizzard's Wrath talents updated {WoW}
Jul 24th 2008 11:27PM So, what's the story with Maelstrom Weapon? Some sources indicate that 5/5 reduces cast time by 100%. The Blizzard page indicates cast time is only reduced by 20%. Sorry, but the latter is pretty useless to Enhancement. The 100% might actually be worth something.
Wintergrasp still aiming to fix World PvP problems {WoW}
Jul 23rd 2008 9:36PM "We can't wait."
Yes... plenty of us can, in fact, wait. Personally, it's a zone I'll never visit, and as long as they do not put PvE quests in there, fine by me.
Breakfast Topic: Why is this hard? {WoW}
Jul 18th 2008 12:26AM Nick S nailed it on the head: Visceral. Hunters (and all ranged DPS) lack the visceral appeal of a lot of other classes. My 70s are, in general, all about the visceral fun of it: Enhancement Shaman (Elemental? yawn), Feral Druid (Laserchickens are okay, but ranged? meh.), Prot Pally (killing 15 things at once ROCKS!). Only my Warlock is a pet class, but he's not nearly as much raw fun as the melee toons. Oh, two healers, too... but those are for grouping, not for raw fun.
I tried my hand at Mages... and they bored me to tears. Hunters, also, are generally dull... mine languishes at 60. Still, maybe they would be more fun if I fought as above... trying to always be fighting 3+ baddies. That sounds like it's worth trying.
Still, "in yer face" toons are much more satisfying. That's what your problem is with Hunters, Mr. Rossi.
More calls for midlevel content, the return {WoW}
Jun 2nd 2008 8:32PM I had a crazy idea about adding mid-level stuff. It centers around the notion of account-bound items, which I believe Blizzard is exploring for Wrath.
First, one of the problems with the current model that Blizzard follows is that it is vertical - the only way to go is "up" in levels, and things get crowded at the cap. Eventually, the game becomes top-heavy. Whether or not this leads to it tipping over and collapsing under its own weight is left to the thoughts of the pessimistic or optimistic reader.
I believe that adding low and mid-level quests and zones as an outlet for the activities of the player base would relieve the stress at the top, but only if you made play at those levels beneficial somehow to the "main" at the level cap. Currently, a mid-level toon cannot in any way provide value to a level-capped main. Account-bound items, which are items that can be sent between characters on an account but not to other players, could change that.
Imagine a scenario in which players could do two new things:
1 - "Freeze" their XP bar voluntarily whenever they wish.
2 - Take "level-only" quests that can only be completed in instances, and only if everyone in the party (if not a soloable instance, which is something also worth exploring) was of the appropriate level.
With those two simple structures in place, we can create situations in which playing low/mid level toons can benefit a level-capped main. Imagine, for instance, that the mid-level quests that can only be completed with level-appropriate toons rewarded account-bound items that scaled remarkably well... such as trinkets that improve spell damage or attack power by a percentage, or inscription-like scrolls that permanently enhanced abilities, again in a scalable fashion. There are plenty of people that would create alts to run lower level areas to get these scalable upgrades. Throw in account-bound items at different levels of instances, which can be combined by a character at the level cap into an even more powerful item (which at that point soulbinds, and cannot be sent between toons), and you may well be able to set up a thriving culture of low and mid level questing that benefits end game efforts.
There can be many benefits to creating a desire for level-capped players to create alts to run lower level content. It would reduce the top-heavy nature of the game, for one. Second, it would allow Blizzard to build on existing content without it seeming like a "waste." Finally, new players will have that many more opportunities to meet and play with seasoned players, thus giving them a chance to learn, and a chance for beneficial relationships to be made.
Frost Mages and Frost Death Knights {WoW}
May 29th 2008 9:23PM Maybe they should call it the "Rime" tree.
No, then people would just confuse it with the "Rhyme" tree... for the new Bard class! :-P
Breakfast Topic: Do you pay attention to 25-man progression? {WoW}
May 28th 2008 3:35PM I must admit to being surprised at a lot of the responses here.
I do not care about world, U.S., or server firsts. The raid game holds no interest to me at all. The only reason I know that some European guild was the first to kill the last boss in Sunwell was that there was an article on this site with that in the title. Did I read the article? No. I never read Guildwatch, either, as it simply means nothing to me.
That said, I'd have guessed I was in the minority for WoW Insider readers.
My guess is that a large number of people who play the game never hit the forums or sites like this. They play a small scale game with friends and people they met online. To them, world firsts are irrelevant. For the people who come to sites like this, though, I'd have guessed there was a higher raiding population. Perhaps it is a bad assumption on my part, but I'd have been certain that raiders more readily follow server progression at the least, and world progression to a degree.
Maybe there are more people here like me, who hunger for news about the game, rather than columns like Guildwatch or articles about world firsts.
When the going gets tough {WoW}
May 27th 2008 2:53PM I don't think I agree with Breanni at all.
Perhaps it's been too long and I do not remember any pain along the way... time heals all wounds and all... but I found with my Shamans (2 at level 70) that Enhancement is an extremely fast build. I had almost nothing in the way of downtime, and would kill things faster than most of my other toons (70s of four other classes, 60+ with three classes... Mages bore me, never topped 30). Ranking Shamans anywhere near the bottom seems insane to me.
With a Shadow Priest, it always seemed the balance was between killing slowly but non-stop, and unloading but having to drink every few fights. The downtime to get max DPS was frustrating. I hate downtime.
Affliction Warlocks, after about 30, are amazing. High speed, several mobs at a time, never stop to drink. Would not kill a single foe as fast as most of my other characters, but would be killing a handful at a time. Efficient.
All that said, I agree that fast/efficient levelling comes more from knowing the quests and the zones than it does from any particular class. A Hunter who does not know his way around will level less quickly than a Warrior who does.
Another major factor is how a class resonates with a player. That impacts level speed. As I mentioned, Mages bore me, so I never finished one. But Shamans... I love them, and can blitz the world with them. So, play what you like, the levels will come.

Super Mario Bros. is a platforming game where you take control of a character by the name of Mario.

The main plot of this game is to jump from platforms, and stomp on enemies heads to kill them. You can also go down some greens pipes, to collect coins or take a different route.

School Radon Bill Still Alive
DES MOINES (AP) -- DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Plans to require radon testing in schools statewide have been sidelined but supporters of the idea are emboldened that a bill remains alive this legislative session.
Republican lawmakers and school officials worry positive tests would open districts and the state up to serious liability and expensive repairs. They supported a bill that surveys schools to see how many have tested for the natural occurring gas that seeps out of soil into buildings.
Supporters of the Democratic-led legislation say delaying testing when radon is considered a serious risk in Iowa by the Environmental Protection Agency is irresponsible.
Republican leaders counter that it makes more sense to assess the problem then deal with how to pay for fixing buildings to keep if it's needed.
