Just got home from the fall swap with my wagon-load of new stuff for the garden!
It was really great to meet the folks I hadn't met before and visit with old friends. I am totally in awe of Helen's gorgeous gardens and her lovely home. Thanks again Helen for hosting another fun, successful swap! Linda |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes- Thank you very much Helen for welcoming us into your home and gardens! You have an amazing place there- thank you for sharing it with us- and for hosting this years MN GW Forum Fall Swap. My thanks also to all who came and brought your great plants, your friends and their great plants too! I will look forward to seeing my selections grow and bloom and spread so I can share them on. I am still stuffed from the great foods brought and shared as well- See you all next year at the seed swap?? I hope so! Julie |
Helen, Thank you so much for hosting! You are a great host with great gardens and a great home! Thank you every one for the great food and great plants. I had a very good time visiting with you and enjoying Helen's garden. What a beautiful neat place! It is fun to learn about new plants and remedies such as planting chrysanthemum to discourage mosquitos and killing creeping charlies with borax. Thanks again, |

Helen, It was a fun day from the beginnig toast, to the garden, until we all headed for home with our new treasures. Thank you for the lovely day, sharing your beautiful gardens and home with us. Thanks to eveyone who brought a part of their garden to share. I was able to get most everything planted this afternoon except for the pussy willow. I apologize but I can't remember who brought it and I can't remember where would be the best location for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for a wonderful, educational day. Cheryl |
My thanks to Helen for hosting and to all attending for sharing your garden plants. Cheryl, I brought the pussy willows. My bush was here when we moved in and is on the north side of the house. I keep it pruned to about 5 feet so it doesn't block the office window view of the birdfeeders. |

You're welcome all... Thanks to you for the new plants, the conversation, the yummy food, the new ideas and knowledge you shared. What a gift to sit at a table with people whom you have just met, and feel as though you have known them for years. A gift I treasure... Talk to you online, and see you at future swaps, Helen. |
So sad to have missed it, but there were obligations elsewhere! Glad you all had such a lovely time and I'll see you for the seed swap! -Marie |
Sounds like you all had a great time. I wish I could have been there! |

I also had a great time at the swap. The fact that I got to watch much of the first half of the Gopher's football game at your house (Helen) prior to the swap, made the event even more fun. I wait with anticipation for both the spring and fall GW swaps, and am never let down . . . it was a good time . . - Adam |
Helen, Posted a thank you on the MN Exchanges but then didn't see it later. So...Again - thank you so much for letting us come enjoy your beautiful garden! It was my first swap and I am definitely looking forward to the next! Angela |

Make darker lines between items
I second the comment from a user back in 2013 that it should be possible for the user to specify darker lines between items. They're very faint, at least in the Windows browser and Android apps. Darker lines would help make items visually more distinct
Your staff's response was "Unfortunately, it was not possible" to darken the lines. However, it wasn't clear if he meant not possible for a user to configure a darker line presently, or if there was a deeper coding limitation that names it not possible to offer in the future. (I hope it's the former.)
All responses
It's of course possible for us to change this, or add an ability to allow the user to change it, I am sure whomever replied was referring to the app at the time.
So right now it's not possible for users to change this, we will consider adding more options in future updates.
OK thanks for responding!

Alumni Junction
Each year, more than 40,000 participants from countries around the world have opportunities to build common bonds, share ideas and further mutual understanding through an exchange program managed by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State. Participation in an exchange program is not a one-time, finite event; it marks the beginning of an ongoing relationship between you, those you met on your exchange experience -- and the United States.
You are now members of a global community; you are International Exchange Alumni members.
Among the more than 1,000,000 others who are also alumni of an ECA-sponsored program are 47 Nobel Laureates, thousands of cabinet-level ministers and more than 300 current and former chiefs of state or heads of government.
International Exchange Alumni have an equally impressive local impact as they do a global one. From starting civic organizations to advocating human rights to organizing disaster-relief efforts, International Exchange Alumni participants have returned home with ideas and acted upon them.
International Exchange Alumni from Canada have participated in a wide range of exchange programs which include:
- The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP): Cultural Affairs coordinates these programs, which enable Canadians who are emerging potential leaders in government, business, politics, the media, education, the arts, etc., to observe first-hand U.S. institutions and culture, and meet with professional counterparts to explore issues of common interest. Some twenty Canadians travel each year under this program on three-week study tours as guests of the U.S. government.
- the Canada-U.S. Fulbright Program: Supported by both the U.S. and Canadian federal governments, the Fulbright Program is an educational exchange open to Canadian and American graduate students and scholars.
- The Canadian Parliamentary Intern Program (CPIP): CPIP is a post-graduate experience giving young Canadians an opportunity to work closely with Members of Canadian Parliament for ten months -- both up close on Parliament Hill and in comparison with other legislatures through study tours to Washington, London, Brussels, Québec, Manitoba, Toronto and Nunavut. The U.S. Embassy in Canada funds the Washington Study Tour.
- The Youth Ambassadors Program with Canada: YAP is a three week exchange designed for Canadian high school students to go to the U.S.A. with adult mentors, to promote mutual understanding, increase leadership skills and prepare youth to make a difference in their communities. The Center for the Study of Canada at SUNY Plattsburgh is proud to be organizing the Youth Ambassadors Program with Canada thanks to the support of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, the United States Embassy Ottawa and Fulbright Canada.
As a State Alumni you should:
- Register at the International Exchange Alumni! The Alumni website will help you keep in touch with your fellow Canadian alumni of State Department exchange programs, and with us here at the Embassy. Together with our partners in the U.S.-Canada Fulbright Educational Exchange Program and the Department of State Alumni Affairs Office, we hope you will continue to benefit from the knowledge and rewards from your exchange experience.
- Find out what Alumni events are happening near you!
- Download our latest Alumni podcast. We'll be regularly highlighting Canadian State Alumni, and letting them talk about the impact the program had on their lives. If you'd like to be featured in a future podcast, let us know!
- See news about Alumni!

Fabulous hotel! Staff couldn't have been more helpful, they organised my Sapa trip and Water Puppet theatre tickets at a good price without being pushy (I've heard this can be an issue in Vietnam!) and even let me use the room to shower and change after I returned from my trip. The room was clean and comfortable with lovely hot shower and complimentary toiletries. Decent breakfast with fresh fruit and choice of eggs cooked to order!

We loved the staff, so helpful. Location is great, near the lake and night market. Room was very nice, big. Morning and evening announcements do blare from the loudspeaker outsi but we were up at breakfast already except one day, Saturday,singing at 6am. Issue with our Halong bay cruise and reception helped us get a small refund 10%. I left a shirt in the room.odd that they didn't mention it/give it to me when we came back for our luggage in the late afternoon. No AC in bfast cafe area, hot.

Very nice hotel. Good rooms, nice AC. We made a comment about some ants in the bathroom the first time and when we came back from our trip, they cleaned our room extra thorough and left some rose peddles on the bed. The bathroom has a very nice rain shower. The location is perfect: right in the old quarter, but the busy street doesn't matter that much when you are sleeping.

The staff were kind and they helped me out a lot with my vacation, booking tours, trains etc. As such, I was very keen to give them a good review. However, I had several issues with the room. I had booked a deluxe double bed, but when I lay down on it I found out it was actually 2 single mattresses pushed together forming a ridge in the middle of the bed. Really uncomfortable. There was mold/mildew behind the bed from where two single beds had previously been. Stairwell very dusty

So.. For the last 10plus years I have been telling my daughter how beautiful she is. My parents really never said to me that I was pretty or cute except when I was dressed up. As if to say, 'wow you clean up good' lol it wasn't because they are bad parents, I guess they just never realized that a girl needs to hear it often to believe it. I never wanted my daughter to 'wonder' if I thought she was pretty and i have shared here how my Dd has low self esteem. I really do think my daughter is very pretty. She has all the features I loved in other girls. Crystal blue eyes and white as snow skin and blonde hair. I have brown eyes, brown hair and freckled skin and not anything about that as a kid was 'cute' nor pretty and I had pretty fugly teeth for a while. Dd has nice straight teeth. She got lucky with two ugly parents lol I'm just kidding
Anyway - for her whole life I have called her pretty girl. And I always say, you're so pretty when I'm brushing her hair. I always tell her she looks cute before school and compliment her outfit or shoes or whatever. I say 'do you know what a pretty girl you are?' she shrugs and blushes. Or says 'no' and lists the reasons why she doesnt agree. Well today... I said 'do you know how pretty you are?' and she said 'yep cause you tell me all the time' YAY!! I'm excited about this because too often I hear her say what she wishes she had that someone else has. Like curly hair or brown eyes or a flat belly (this drives me insane) she is not FAT she has a pudgy mid section at the moment but I think it's just her hormones and her developements. She is not over weight she is just kind of awkward and she makes comments like 'I'm trying to suck in so my gut doesnt hang out' wtf!? I tell her she should stand up straight and hold her shoulders back and her belly will naturally pull in.. No sucking in her gut involved... Today it was music to my ears to hear her agree with me because I don't like to hear about girls that are so self conscious about their looks. It's too common these days. The pressure they feel to be perfect.. And the frustration because they aren't going to be perfect ...
As an update. Dd is doing better than last time I posted. She is seeing her therapist and is getting some good advice on handling sm. This month, she isn't going over there until after Christmas so she is getting lots of time with our family and enjoying all the activities we have been doing. No attitude, no crying, no whining, in fact, no fighting with little brother either. He has become very clingy to Dd where he cries for her a lot and that makes her feel very special. I told her to enjoy it while it lasts. When he is 7 he will be driving her insane and he won't want to cuddle and play with her. My Dh has also been spending some one on one time with both kids and suprisingly that has really helped all of us. I'm getting some things done and she is getting the 'male' attention she so craves. ;) |
Follow-Up Postings:
That's great news, Myfampg. And I'm sure mama is beautiful as well. :) That's great you are trying to instill a sense of confidence in your daughter. I'm mixed black and white, and my daughters' father is black. Both of my girls have tan skin and curly black hair, but sometimes my D6 tells me what she wishes she was white and wishes she had "white hair". I think because she goes to a school where a lot of the kids are white so that's what she sees. I have to tell her how beautiful her tan skin is and how beautiful her long, curly, black hair is. Lately she hasn't said anything about it, but your post reminds me I need to remind my girls how beautiful they are. Glad to hear she doing better with handling SM. It's great that DS feels so close to DD. Like you say, enjoy it while it lasts, after a while she'll probably be locking him out her room, LOL! And I like idea of each of the kids having one on one time with DH, kills two birds with one stone. :) |
Amber - we are pasty white and we all wish for tan skin and curly hair. Isnt it funny how we always wish for what we don't have! Lol |
LOL Myfampg you're right - the grass is always greener. I have straight black hair and my mom would spend HOURS curling my hair with a hot curler to get it the way my girls' hair looks naturally! |

How we did compared to budget in December:
Financial Goals:
1. Stay within grocery budget (£200). Fail (ish) although I nearly made it. At least £48 of the grocery spending was on coffee (for our stockpile), so I only went over budget by about £14. At this time of the year I'm happy with that
2. Increase income by at least £100. Yes. We gained an extra £218.17 in December
We also very gratefully received a bonus from hubby's company. It was a total surprise and will enable us to finish all of the work on our house in 2013. We're saving a percentage of it as they're as likely to let him go as reward him next year!
Personal Spending:
January WILL be a lot less spendy……..I hope!
How did you do to budget in December?
Please don't forget to update your google readers, blogroll and rss feeds to the new feed address:http://feeds.feedburner.com/nomorespending Thank you ♥
You did really well with your budget Laura. I haven't really kept to a budget in the last 2 months.
But now i'm technically in January (my months go from 26th to 26th) I am back on track.
Great news about your hubby's bonus.
Sft x
I way overspent on our grocery budget. I blame Christmas for that. Congrats on the increase in income.

Throughout the 1950s, Charles Brittin was the unofficial house photographer for the Beat community that coalesced around the artist Wallace Berman. A self-taught photographer, Brittin was working as a mailman at the time, and spent much of his free time wandering the streets with a camera; he came to know Venice Beach intimately, and his pictures of the town are freighted with a hushed beauty and forlorn sweetness.

The AirDog on Kickstarter is designed to automatically chase action-sports enthusiasts and capture video along the way.
Many, many people have stared teary-eyed at a puppy who loves a Clydesdale. At least that's what 19 million YouTube views suggest.
The affordable Puppy Bluetooth pet tracker uses your friends, family, and neighbors' smartphones to locate your lost dog.
The new app from Twitter's 6-second looping video service serves up only clips that have been screened for family-friendliness.
Keeping up with its recent tradition of Super Bowl ads that tug at your heartstrings, Budweiser's "Lost Dog" spot follows one lost puppy's long journey home.
Find out what you should add to your watch list because these videos are either brand new or going offline very soon.
Ouch! These busted gadgets have flown off car roofs and motorbikes, been sat and stepped on and wrestled with kids and dogs. Needless to say, they've seen better days.

Home › Learning Difficulties › Autism & Other Disorders › Autism Spectrum Disorders
By GreatSchools Staff
It's inevitable: If you're a strong advocate for your child, you're eventually going to clash with someone. It might be a teacher, the principal, or even your spouse.
The complexity, emotions, and energy involved in parenting a child with special needs can take a toll on you and your relationships with others. So it's natural that misunderstandings and conflict will happen at some point.
We surveyed parents of children with learning and attention problems about conflict in their lives. More than a thousand responded to our survey, providing tried-and-true tips for dealing with discord.
You're probably familiar with some of the advice that follows — and you may be using many of the strategies described. Yet, if you're like most of us, you will benefit from frequent reminders to help you stay on track. And you might pick up some new ideas or insights to add to your relationship repertoire.
The best way to handle conflict is to avoid it in the first place. We asked parents for tips for advocating in a way that encourages cooperation from their child's team, rather than consternation.
Parents answered:
If all your attempts at avoiding problems fail — which, at some point, is bound to happen — try these parent tips on restoring your relationship with the team.
Parents answered:
No one should walk this path alone. Having support is the key to managing the myriad practical and emotional details that being an advocate entails, parents said.
We asked parents who they turn to when they clash with a member of their child's team. The vast majority said they get support from their family (with lots of shout-outs to spouses) and friends. Others turn to fellow parents of kids with special needs, and around the same number rely on a therapist. Another great source of support and information, many parents reported, is books and websites.
We asked parents about the one thing they wish they'd known when they first started advocating for their child. The number one response was: Trust your instincts! "When I listen to my gut, I know I will always be my child's best advocate," said one mom. Other parents said they wished they'd been better versed in the law and in their child's specific disability.
"Don't be intimidated by authority figures," said another parent, while several wished they'd known more to "document, document, document." Last of all, one parent offered this advice to newcomers: "Be prepared for a long, hard journey. Develop patience and persistence."

Anyone who shops for life insurance soon learns that whole life insurance - a form of permanent insurance, or cash-value insurance - is more costly than term life insurance. But why is that?
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable life insurance now.
"The simple answer to the question of why whole life insurance is more expensive is that permanent policies like whole life have a cash value buildup and term life insurance policies don't," says Alan S. Lurty, senior vice president for ING
Whole life insurance allows a policyholder to accumulate cash savings. The savings can be withdrawn, used to pay future insurance premiums or borrowed against, depending on the policy.
"Whole life in general can be more costly because it provides lifelong protection and it comes with a savings component," says Jack Dolan, vice president of media relations for the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI). "When you pay premiums for whole life, you are not only securing death benefit protection, you are saving for the future."
By contrast, term life simply provides money to beneficiaries if the policyholder dies during the policy's term. Policyholders do not build cash savings in these plans.
"Term life insurance is straight death benefit protection for a particular period of time," Dolan says.
Whole life policies also are more expensive because there is a greater likelihood insurers will to have to pay out on a whole life policy than a term life policy, Lurty says.
"Given the nature of the policies, the chances of someone dying with a [whole life] policy in force are somewhat greater than with a term life insurance policy," he says.
Many people choose whole life policies when looking to hold a policy over a long period of time, Lurty says. On the other hand, people typically buy a term policy for a specific period of time, such as 10, 20 or 30 years.
"Many term policy owners have given up their policies before they are likely to die from age-related illnesses," he says.
Dolan says the gap in cost between whole life insurance and term insurance is widest for young people and narrows as people age.
Term life can be inexpensive for people in good health who purchase the policy before age 50. After that, premiums start to rise rapidly each year you wait to buy a policy.
Few insurance companies offer new term life policies for individuals over 65, so people who want to purchase life insurance after that age usually are forced to buy whole life insurance -- even though it, too, is much more costly for older individuals -- or a simplified-issue policy, which tends to have lower available payouts than whole life does.
Whole life insurance - also called permanent or cash value life insurance - differs from term life insurance because the coverage lasts as long as you pay the premiums. Because of this, however, the insurance company assumes more risk and consequently charges you higher premiums.
Whole life insurance premiums offset the higher cost associated with the increasing likelihood of mortality in the policy's later years by "overcharging" for insurance in the earlier years. The amount you "overpay" in premiums goes into a cash value portion of the account that is legally required to become available to you after a certain period of time. You can often take out a loan against this cash value, or use it to pay premiums if money is tight. The loan is not subject to credit checks, but must be repaid with interest - and reduces the death benefit payment until paid back.

So I got my Vesseys catalogue recently, and whilst browing through the pages, as you do. I noticed that there were 7 pages of these things, how is a new bie supposed to know what is what? :-)
Needless to say I was overwhelmed by all the different types, so I figured I'll turn to you experts to shed some light. There are some new ones for 2008 like: English Breakfast ( hmmm...makes me miss the UK )

How many would you say one should start with, and can they be planted in pots? Any nice fragrant ones in particular that you guys like? |
- Posted by dahliagardener (My Page) on Sat, Feb 2, 08 at 14:58
Good luck finding a fragrant dahlia. There are a few open centered ones-- Singles & Orchid form ones that have a very mild sweet pollen scent to them but dahlias in general don't have any perfume. They can be planted in pots but some get really tall so you have to watch what you're getting or they will fall all over & they can even even tip the pot over. Go to Steve Nowotarski's site on container dahlias & see what a great job he does with dahlias in mixed pots. There's also a place to order the container dahlias so you know those varieties been successfully grown in pots. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Container Dahlias
Mick (glaswegian), I haven't found any dahlias with a nice fragrance, not like the brugmansia. However, I still love them for their stunning visual presentation. I have also found that they tend to do best planted directly into the garden. Mind you, I prefer the tall ones ( 3- 5 feet). These would never be okay in a pot unless the pot was very large, as stated by dahliagardener. If you wanted to plant dahlias in a container, I would suggest the smaller varieties. There are numerous ones available. Dahlia Bloom Size Abbreviations AA - over 10" dia. Also, check out Dan's Dahlias at: http://www.dansdahlias.com/products.php |

Thanks for that John (Jroot ). I was just toying with the container idea really. I will be planting the dahlia ( If I know which one to get ), directly in the ground. Now you said they like to planted directly in the ground, does that mean you can't start them indoors? |
I grew several stargazer dahlia's in containers which were started from seeds. I did make the error of planting two to a pot and neither flowered and it was like excavating dinosaur bones trying to get them separated. My decision to go with seeds is that they are affordable for me to play with until I learn to store the tubers over winter. The beauty of containers is that it is much easier to dump the pot rather than dig in the ground (I grow Gladiolus that way too). It is also fun being surprised by the shape and colors they came out as. Good luck. |
- Posted by vikingcraftsman 6/7 LI NY (My Page) on Sat, Feb 2, 08 at 22:32
I had a dog that ran through my dahlias so I planted some in big plastic containers. I also build wood planters for them. For boquets for the wife I grow basil and other herbs for scent. |
Mick, of course they can be started in pots. That is what I was saying in another discussion. ( See below ) What Vikingcraftsman says is correct as well. If the pot is large, or a raised bed then that is good for growing them as well. Leaving them enough room, as Gladzoe says, is good advice as well. I plant mine about a foot and a half away from each other for the best results. That is purely a personal taste though. You will have to experiment and find out what works best for you in Brantford, given your soil and sun conditions. |

Serves 8; 3 ounces beef and 2 tablespoons sauce per serving
1 teaspoon pepper (coarsely ground preferred)
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 2-pound eye-of-round roast, all visible fat discarded
1 teaspoon olive oil
⅔ cup fat-free sour cream
2 medium green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 to 1½ tablespoons bottled white horseradish, drained
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients. Sprinkle all over the beef. Using your fingertips, gently press the rub so it adheres to the beef.
In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the beef for 8 minutes, or until seared on all sides, turning every 2 minutes. Leave in the skillet.
Roast for 40 minutes, or until the beef registers 145°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. The beef will continue to cook while standing, but don't let it overcook or it will become tough. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Serve the sauce on the side or spooned over the beef.

The 38 Most Haunting Abandoned Places On Earth Just Might Give You Chills…
|1. Pripyat, Ukraine
2. Mirny Diamond Mine – Eastern Siberia, Russia
3. Farmhouse – Seneca Lake, New York
4. Ryugyong Hotel – Pyongyang, North Korea
The Ryugyong Hotel is a true display of North Korea's madness. Work started on this 105 story hotel only a few years before a massive famine plagued the country. Abandoned for 16 years, work once again began in 2008, when it was coated in $150 million worth of glass. Foreign guests have reported that although the structure now looks complete on the outside, a lot of the interior is still abandoned and incomplete. dailymail.co.uk
5. Willard Asylum – Willard, New York
Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane was built in 1869 and closed in 1995. Housing 4000 patients at its peak, more than half of the 50,000 patients who called Willard Asylum their home died within its walls. This makes the asylums morgue (pictured above) one of the creepiest places we can imagine. By its closure, most patients were eventually integrated back into society, but in the early days "people didn't leave unless it was in a box." usatoday.com adwheelerphotography.com
6. Sanzhi UFO Houses – San Zhi, Taiwan
7. Six Flags Jazzland – New Orleans, Louisiana
8. Gulliver's Travels Park – Kawaguchi, Japan

> On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 3:44 PM, Fons Adriaensen
If my system is properly wired, and over the last 60 years there have been
some that were wired by idiots, but where I either did it, or saw to it
that it was done right, anybody using a ground lifter gets invited off the
stage. But you'd be totally blown away by the condition of some of the
equipment, one bass players amp was so bad that it set my pocket field
sniffer off from 6" away. Walking over to the axe itself I got the same
bleeep out of it. Told him to fix it, he didn't know how, but I had 15
minutes to spare & cobbled up an xlr to tip-ring-shell cable & plugged his
axe direct to a mic channel on our board. He squawked he couldn't hear & I
said thats how it is, I'm not gonna let your pissy amp kill somebody on my
stage. The mixer on duty that day was fairly good after I explained how to
do it for the axe & it didn't sound that bad once he'd put his fingers in
cruise control.
Cheers, Gene

The Parallel knitted deer stalker hat is a chunky knit hat suitable for skiing, snowboarding and active winter pursuits.
The Parallel hat has a faux fur tim and a padded lining as well as extendable ear flaps that can be clipped up or left down for added warmth and comfort, whilst the chin strap allows you to fit the ski hat accordingly.
April 03, 2013
Good quality warm hat for colder weather. in warmer condition less comfortable as the short fastenings on the ear flaps mean the crown of the hat is 'pinched' when the ear flaps are raised, making the hat sit very high on the head.

Just depends...for the range I use a variety of ammo like Remington UMC, Winchester White Box, and I just tried the Winchester SXZ this morning...shot really well out of my G17. While on duty I carry Winchester bonded PDX1 124 +p. Off duty I carry either the same PDX1 or Hornady Critical Defense. I hear great things about the Rangers and my Chief swears by them, so I'll probably be using them pretty soon.
"They're on our right, they're on our left, they're in front of us, they're behind us; they can't get away from us this time." Chesty Puller, USMC, Chosin Reservoir, Korean War "You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth - and the amusing thing about it is that they are." - Father Kevin Keaney, 1st MarDiv Chaplain, Korean War
For the range I'll shoot whatever I have picked up on sale...Winchester White Box, American Eagle, Federal or UMC. For SD either Hornady Critical Defense or Winchester Ranger. Hornady's new Critical Duty looks enticing as well...packs a bit more of a punch than the Critical Defense which is designed not to overpenetrate, the Critical Duty is supposed to be better at defeating barriers and is marketed as a LEO type round similar to the Win Ranger.
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789) "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
For the range, any ball ammo, usually whatever wally world has. The Winchester White Box seems to be a little dirty, but not a big deal. For SD, Federal HST.
For practice any ball ammo is fine I stay away from anything Russian and usually don't use steel case .Carry ammo on the other hand there's a handful of differant brands I use but partial to Winchester Ranger .
117gr from a local commercial reloader for general hole punching... BUT, he gave me some 147gr to try for target shooting and holy crap is that stuff accurate. Also a bit pricier
147 gr fmj over 3.2gr Titegroup for plinking and gaming. 127gr +p+ and 124gr+p Winchester Ranger.
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship? Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
Anything that's not russian for practice. For carry, critical duty, or + p double tap bonded. or anything with a barnes copper bullet, corbon dpx etc...
Springfield 1911 black loaded target. 460 Rowland. S&W M&P9 pro 5in. RSO. To be voluntarily disarmed is to rely on the honor of the dishonorable. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
Cheap stuff for practice. Critical Defense for carry.
There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period. Ted Nugent
When carrying I like federal hydrashock or Remington golden sabers But at the range I just use Winchester or PMC
A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. -Theodore Roosevelt

Presented in association with Perth International Arts Festival
1507 is the medium number of 'things' owned by a teenager.
In 2012 BGTC interviewed over 500 young people and reflected their thoughts, feelings, hopes and anxieties in Driving Into Walls, a highly physical and ultimately moving theatrical production that has since toured Australia to critical acclaim. Shift to 2014 and the same creative team travel across our nation to deepen their investigation of teenage life.
ONEFIVEZEROSEVEN is the average number of breaths they take each hour, the average number of things they own and it is the number of emotional moments a young person has in a singular day.
ONEFIVEZEROSEVEN explores how young people's identity and sense of belonging intermingles with their possessions, opening wide the door to their inner sanctum. In this visually striking work, Australian teenagers allow the audience a thought provoking view of everything they have and everything they hope for.
This production examines exclusion, racism, consumerism, bullying, absent parents and contains drug references, sexuality, coarse language and most shockinly - kissing.

How do you receive a perma-ban? I'm not exactly willing to find out the hard way, but I have had multiple suspensions over my years playing the game. I would like to know how to avoid being banned for life so that I can enjoy this game for a good 10 or 20 more years, if my aptitude and love for the game hold up that long.
Be nice to people *no matter what* and play the game. That's honestly all it takes. I find it remarkable that so many people have a hard time with this.
While some people act like animals, others human, and others strangely robotic, I'm aware that a bad attitude gets you banned. I'm only curious over how many bans, if there is a set amount. Does your bad history get cleared away over time? Do Rioters just say f this and ban bad apples sometimes?
I'm only curious as to why this is even a question. If you don't want to be banned, be nice to people. Riot can choose to do whatever they want whenever they want. If you're nice you have nothing to worry about. If you're toxic you're most likely going to be banned, if not now then later. So don't be toxic.
Does ban stack or does it get diminishing value over the year. Like say i got banned one for afk when i was level 5 and not banned for the past years. Rhetorically speaking does the first ban at level 5 counts towards the second one
Lord Ferret
I have been. - . -
Riot has claimed that your punishment tier goes down with either time or games played or both, idk which, but they did say it goes down if you don't get punished.

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Grouplove's Andrew Wessen: What Music I'm Listening To
Infectious alt rock band Grouplove gave one of the best performances during WLUM-FM's two-day Big Snow Show 8 last week. It'll be back at the Rave in the spring. Photo by Pamela Littky.
Grouplove gave a highly energetic performance Dec. 12 as part of WLUM-FM's (102.1) Big Snow Show 8. And when Grouplove retreated backstage, chances are likely guitarist Andrew Wessen (above center) relaxed with some tunes from dub band the Upsetters.
During an interview promoting the band's Milwaukee appearance, Wessen shared why he loves the group and what other music he's listening to.
And if you're bummed that you missed out the Grouplove set, frontman Christian Zucconi told the crowd the band will be back at the Rave this spring.
Who: Andrew Wessen, guitarist for Grouplove
What he's listening to: The Upsetters.
Why he likes it: It's a band with Lee "Scratch" Perry, a famous dub producer who's worked with Bob Marley. It's what I put on in the dressing room when I get off stage. We go buck wild (during the show), and then for coming down, its great chill-out music.
Also likes: I listen to weird (expletive) like 1930s vocal groups and weird Hawaiian music. My girlfriend is always like, "What the (expletive) are you putting on?"

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – A Canadian economist is breaking ranks and predicting a much bigger drop in home prices than others in his field.
David Madani expects housing prices to fall 25 per cent "over the next few years," with Vancouver leading the way. That's a far bigger drop than the most pessimistic of the big banks, TD, which forecasts a 10 to 15 per cent decrease.
Madani, who runs Toronto-based Capital Economics, says "a potentially severe housing correction has already begun in Vancouver," with a 1.2 per cent drop month-over-month that he says is the worst since the financial crisis four years ago.
"Home prices have not fallen by this much in any single month since during the height of the global financial crisis back in 2008," says Madani.
He suspects the latest round of mortgage-rule tightening "has had a much greater impact in Vancouver than previous tightening measures."

If there's one lesson from the Secret Service Colombian Escort Scandal, it is that there are some things you just should not try to save money on.
Sure, get a Groupon for a massage with an unhappy or ambiguous ending! Hire the cheap roof repairman! Send your kids to robot daycare. Switch to Geico! Cut corners everywhere you like. Buy a mere $14 worth of artisanal cheese rather than the full $19 pack when you head west for the GSA convention.

Solution Provider Teaches 'Cloud 101'
Despite all the hype about cloud computing, many solution providers are still unsure of how to get started in the new technology.
Dave Sobel, founder and CEO of Evolve Technologies, a Fairfax, Va.-based solution provider, is on a mission to change that. Working with CompTIA, Sobel is teaching the basics of cloud computing to his peers, with an emphasis on customer requirements and what VARs can do to meet them.
CRN caught up with Sobel at this month's Tech Data Channel Link partner conference during his presentation entitled, "CompTIA's Quick Start to Building a Cloud Practice."

"I've been lucky. I've been here 25 years," Fitz says. "There's been a change in the American public and how they perceive pets. They're willing to do anything." In 1957, he says, a study found that 54 percent of the nation considered their pets to be part of the family. Today, that statistic is 97 percent.
Fitz himself only has one pet, Yoda, a six-year-old charcoal-colored Chihuahua mix who recently had knee surgery and is undergoing physical therapy now in one of the underwater treadmills. "He's no trouble; we're both bachelors," Fitz says. In fact, Yoda is the only dog allowed into the cigar shop on Sixth Avenue where the doctor hangs out.
But back to the chinchillas. "They're cute little guys, aren't they?" Fitz asks. "But you have no balls, do you? No balls," he adds, turning his attention to the fuzzy little varmints. Aside from the chinchillas, Fitz has already seen a dog with a high fever this morning, a ferret who was mauled by a dog and is getting a blood transfusion, a dehydrated leopard gecko who belongs to a local school, a carpet eater who was vomiting and a constipated canine whose owner nervously paced the waiting room.
As vet to the stars, Alameda East has also seen its share of unusual creatures, including a monkey with a broken arm from the Denver Zoo, a bear cub, a hyena, a penguin from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and an alligator confiscated by police during a drug raid. Oh, and a tortoise named Nick.
"Yep," concludes the doctor. "We see whatever the streets of Denver spit up at us." — Jonathan Shikes
Solterra, 2008 Parade of Homes
West Alameda Parkway and South Indiana Street, Lakewood
10:35 a.m.
The freshly laid squares of sod at the entrance to Solterra are already starting to look parched in spots. It's as if the land isn't quite ready to take on this odd graft of a master-planned community, with its sprinklers and puny trees, instant roads and checkerboard turf, planted brusquely on the bare, dun-colored hills.
But ready or not, here they come, pardner.
The upscale $550 million Solterra project is expected to sprout 1,440 homes on land that was once part of the Rooney Ranch, a scenic valley below the Dakota Hogback that was homesteaded decades before Colorado achieved statehood and remained in the hands of the same family for six generations. Only the ranch house remains now. The rest of the 4,500-acre spread has been broken up amid open space, the construction of C-470, and planned Lakewood and Jefferson County developments, centering around the new Alameda-470 interchange, just a lawn-tractor ride away from Solterra.
The valley is the last great unprotected chunk of land between the metroplex and the foothills, but much of it is scheduled to go under the bulldozer. In addition to Solterra, county officials have announced plans for a "Tech Center West" at the interchange — thousands of new jobs and homes, millions of feet of office space, that kind of thing.
The advance guard of all this hustle and muscle is the 2008 Parade of Homes, which will open at Solterra on July 26. The eight show homes are opulent expressions of the "European hilltown" style of architecture that's supposed to be the prevalent theme of the community: a mishmash of Tuscan villa, French Provençal and Andalusian delusion. They range in price from $1.95 million to $2.5 million — which, though a bit steep for your average cowboy, is actually a bit more "affordable" than some previous Parade monstrosities. In fact, they are a vast improvement over the maritime-themed offerings at last year's Parade in Aurora. Solterra's showcase mansions are both cavernous and airy, with eye-bugging views of the Front Range, the obligatory stadium-sized master suites, arena-sized closets and granite-islanded kitchens, and enough bathrooms, wine cellars, billiard rooms and home theaters to keep the entire Mormon Tabernacle Choir in thrall (assuming the choristers shoot pool and sneak a drink now and then).
There's even a concerted effort to make these humble hilltown havens "green" — at least, as green as an 8,800-square-foot, luxury custom home loaded with imported materials, a four-car garage and a carbon footprint the size of Sasquatch can be. The Casa Vecchio E Nuovo, the top award-winner among the show homes, sports kitchen cabinets made of Brazilian lyptus, a tree that can be harvested every fourteen years; reclaimed timbers for ceiling beams; a high-efficiency furnace and high-rated insulation; dual-flush toilets, and so on. Other homes have similar features, and the Bella Vista next door even boasts cabinets made from beetle-killed lodgepole pine.
The homes also have plenty of mirrors and windows, to fully capture the views of the foothills, the surrounding open space and the proud homeowners. Just how wonderful all this feels probably depends on which side of the glass you're on. For the fortunate few, the Parade and Solterra represent a little slice of Ye Olde Europa situated in a lovely, unexploited corner of the city, just moments from the beltway. Que bella!
For the folks in the teeming suburbs beyond, it's another subdivision blocking the view. — Alan Prendergast

"The first show, my vagina almost fell out," K$ remembered. "It was literally a quarter of an inch away from falling out." She didn't elaborate on the sartorial mishap, which would have helped Rising Star's ratings no end, but did open up about starting a cat cult and her remarkable rainbow-colored hair. Watch the hilarious interview after the jump.

It takes quickness and agility to negotiate the Laser Maze at SPY: The Secret World of Espionage during the preview Thursday of the exhibit. The maze evokes a "Mission Impossible" feel. This first-ever public exhibition features artifacts from leading national intelligence agencies including the CIA and the FBI and the private collection of intelligence historian and spy technology author, H. Keith Melton. There's the axe used to kill Leon Trotsky, umbrellas that injects poison pellets, a spy satellite, a WW-II Wel-Bike that collapsed as a getaway vehicle, a piece of the Berlin Wall. The exhibit opens to the public Saturday.
