So today was a busy day for me... Lots of errands to run on my day off and I wasn't even planning on shooting... but when I got home last night a box was waiting for me... My 500 rnds of 230 gr Federal HST .45 ACP ammo had arrived, even though I was told it wouldn't ship until Thursday... so what the heck, I can squeeze in enough time to fire off 100-200 rounds, right?
Well I have never bought or used defensive rounds - just cheapo ball ammo - but since I recently started carrying I wanted to find something that would feed my 1911 well. I figured I'd try out some HST and if my 1911 was as finicky with hollow points as a friend had attempted to lead me to believe, I had a list of a few others to try...
So I went to the range, knowing I had no time and yet still wanting to send some lead down range. I walked in, put my target up, ran it back to 10 yards or so, put all my stuff down and drew from concealment, ran the mag dry and then reloaded from both of the spares I normally carry... cleaning out the last of my ball ammo. Then I loaded up all 8 mags I own and just kept on shooting... through 150 rounds of HST with no problem whatsoever.
While shooting I decided to try out something that Sixto had mentioned in a post regarding point shooting for defensive situations here: http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulle...32-post13.html. I tried to do what he said and I gotta say - at 3, 10, or 15 yards I put every shot in center mass doing what he said, while still being able to see everything going on around me (in my peripheral). It was kinda cool and a lot more relaxing than the bullseye shooting I had been taught to do.
Anyway, I walked out of the range - I was there right when they opened and was done so quickly no one else was out there yet and the guy just looked at me funny... "All done," he asked... It was amusing.
Anyway, no point to this rant, just wanted to relate a good experience and thank Sixto for teaching me something new!

Walking Dead: 400 Days: Your Choices Will Effect Season 2.
Dan and Jess discuss how The Walking Dead: 400 Days will bridge the gap between Seasons 1 and 2.
The "CHOICES" in the first one really don't make me believe that the choices in the second season will be any different. Small things that barely change the story and and only like 2 real ones that make even the slightest difference.
The problem with season 1 was whatever you do always the main hero dies at the end
Choices are pointless in a game unless they make you regret making them (ie: making the game ridiculously harder)
None of the choices matter at all. Seriously, none of your choices will matter. It's still a fun game but the choices matter hype is total bs.
Didn't anyone teach you the difference between 'effect' and 'affect'?
It should be affect... and it seems doubtful anyway. Although the story was enjoyable, and the game play harkens back to early PC gaming days, there was very little affected by choices.
I still need to play all the other episodes.... my buddy tells me their amazing and I hear that all over the place so I really wanna play em
Will they affect season 2 the same way my choices "affected" season 1? I loved the game but your choices never really changed what happened they just changed why it happened.
Good to see someone can attain a position of Senior Producer without having even a grasp of basic English. Kudos.
And whilst I'm at it I'm not overly keen on the use of 2 colons in the same header.
Still going on about this "choices" bullshit? Come on, when people found out their choices didn't matter in Season 1 they were pissed. Drop the act and just deliver a great narrative.
I wonder how many hours 400 Days will take to complete. I think for me, each episode from Season 1 took at least 12 hours to complete because I play in three different ways (Good Guy, Bastard Guy, No Care Guy) lol!
I absolutely loved TWD season 1. The comic book art style, along with the storytelling style was just a pure win for me. I can't wait for more of these.
@mr_azim Agree with the first part; disagree with the second. Why does it take extra difficulty to make you regret something? Is that how your moral code works? "I'm not going to regret murdering that character unless the game becomes more difficult".
@Hazegurl It actually does matter. Yes the same people will die, but they die in varied times and ways. Plus theres a lot of little stuff especially at the end, depending on what you did you might or might not see a zombie Lee Everett in 400 Days
@OzmaHD And have the same ending and the same deaths. Except for the ones that won´t matter at all. The big picture is always the same.
@Kraken422@Hazegurl Yes it changes what happened. It's the little things. Yes the same people will die, but they die in varied times and ways. Plus theres a lot of little stuff especially at the end, depending on what you did you might or might not see a zombie Lee Everett in 400 Days
@Kraken422 i think their focus was more on decision making affecting your relationship with other characters rather than who lives and who dies.. tho it would have been nice to have Carley make it the end
@Kraken422 very well said. If character "A" is supposed to die in the game, no matter what the player chose, the character still dies, just that the way of dying/ timing of dying is different. That's all. and I hope there is a skip cutscene option, otherwise its a real pain to replay with a different set of choices
@Emerald_Scott Yay English grammar! It is indeed AFFECT Gamespot... come on editors.
@WantYouBad I kind of have to agree with you here, the "effects" your choices had were over-rated. In fact the game, although very good, was over-rated.
@WantYouBad They mattered, just in a different way. The choices affected how the other characters thought of you, rather than what would happen based on your choices.
@WantYouBad While the choices you make in the came don't directly affect the outcome, I'd say I became more emotionally involved just for being given the option/illusion of choice. When a character died in season 1 I felt either sorrow or no remorse because I felt a connection was made with each character based on how I carried my conversations with them. I love exactly how they did it and all I can say is I want more of it!
@ozm4n @mr_azim I think he is saying when you are carelessly killing characters, it should make certain parts of the game more difficult than if you were more responsible to see who is an asset to the team. Like if you killed a mechanic and later in the game, you ran into a car that you need to fix in order to run. That would really make you think about the decisions you will make. I feel the issue with the 1st season of TWD, was that most of the characters died regardless of what I chose, the only thing it really affected was how they viewed the main character.. But I also understand that this more or less, a linear game that gives you options along the way. It's like giving a child an option to drink apple juice or water, you give the child a freedom of choice, but it is from the options you have selected, basically directed them towards what you want.
@LeafHurricane07 @Hazegurl The changes are minimal or cosmetic. Changing the way someone dies but killing him/her anyway is not cool, just curiosity. The choices should affect the big picture and the small ones. But no, they don´t matter at all. The crowd accepted that. I don´t. Don´t promise stuff that you won´t deliver. If I have no choice, I can watch a movie about zombies, or play CoD to have some action.
@LeafHurricane07 @Hazegurl The road to the end you can change but the ending it self is not changeable at all and that is what people excepted and wanted. They did not deliver there promiss. Still buying it but not so excited as i was with season 1
@LeafHurricane07 @Kraken422 @Hazegurl So, they should say: "your choices will affect the little subtle details in the second season. But the big picture will be the same, regardless of your choices. Except for cosmetic and timing effects".
@raycpt @Kraken422 A lot of games are like this with simulated choices. I imagine they have to do it to keep an excellent story flowing. Your first time through the game is amazing, but if you play it a second time hoping for things to be wildly different you're bound to be disappointed - not that this takes away from the excellent experience of the game, you just realize how little control you actually have.
@SaberStrike @Emerald_Scott I usually don't correct people, but in this case, writing "effect" will make non-native English speakers, and hell, even some native English speakers think that it's acceptable to write 'effect' in the case of 'affect.'
Besides, I believe this wasn't a typo but instead a grammatical error since the title was just staring right at him in bold and capital letters.
Anyway, no big deal, I guess. I don't want to sound like a jerk.
@Meta-Gnostic @WantYouBad I remember the choice at Hershel's farm and me siding against him and it saying "Hershel remembers what you said", yeah big deal, we never saw him again! It was just to make you feel more engaged, yet was a big farce. Finding out everything was a lie is what ruined this game for me.
@Catalyst222 @WantYouBad And 2 won't be taken the same way because people already know that their choices don't actually affect the game.
@Hazegurl @ylfaer @LeafHurricane07 well I think when you do something like this, there has to be a sense of direction from them to make sure the game itself is fulfilled through the episodes. State of Decay for example, is much more of what you are wanting. the problem with that particular game (it is not an issue, but it would be with this game) is that the lenght of the game greatly depends on how you play. Literally, everything you do (or not do) impacts the game, from driving, to not even playing the game for a week or 2. That would not work at all with this game. I look at this game similar to a television series, or even the show itself, it just gives you different scenarios to play out.I do feel they could have done more with it, maybe we will see more of it in season 2.
@ylfaer @LeafHurricane07 @Hazegurl Right, the changes are so small they might as well not even have it. Do I walk across a ledge or take the ground. Hm, I'll walk across the ledge, oh no you fall to the ground anyway. Do I look in the box or look in the can. It doesn't matter cause a zombie is waiting there anyway! Seriously, these choices mean less than nothing in this game. You keep people alive who just die later, plot armor is given to the other characters the creators want to live so no matter what, they live. They claim our choices will affect season 2. Yet I can't recall a single choice I've made that can carry over. Everyone I've tried to save is dead. Tried to save myself (Lee) and he ends up *spoiler alert* dead too. So they are gonna have to give me a list of these so called choices that are supposed to affect season 2. Clem living is not my choice, the couple living is not my choice. I seriously don't see what choice I've made that will change season 2. lol!!

No Spanish holiday for Shrewsbury
The Shrews, who missed out on promotion after losing the play-off final to Gillingham, will use a pre-season training camp in Desert Springs following last year's success that Simpson claims "helped us hit the ground running". He told the club's official website: "The players know they are going to be in for some hard work and it will be the same situation of 7am, 10.30am and 6pm sessions. "It is a great opportunity to get everybody together and get everyone to realise the importance of this season to us. "We have two new lads already, there is the possibility the young pros will come out there as well but it gives everyone the chance to muck in together and learn to live with each other. "Over the next season we will spend a hell of a lot of time together and it's important we all get to know what people enjoy and what they don't like."

background-position rollover issue
Hello all,
I'm making a new portfolio for my artwork using HTML/CSS. I've got the basic layout finished for the gallery but there is just one issue. I am attempting a CSS rollover by giving a div a background-image on hover. I only want the background image to cover 20% from the bottom of the rollover so I can display the title of the work. This is a liquid layout, so fixed pixel values are not gonna work. I can get the rollover to appear correctly @ 1440x900 screen res when background-position: 0px 180px; but what I want is background-position: 0% 80%; Why won't the percentages work in this case?
The code is below but I've also attached the site as a zip. csshelp.zip
splash.html has the div tags, boxes.css has the rollover styles at the bottom of the file.
heres am image of how the rollover should appear (in the top right)
thanks for helping, this is my first post so I will attempt to help others too!
Code:#roll { width: 100%; height: 100%; position:relative; display:block; bottom: 0px; cursor:crosshair; overflow:hidden; font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size:12px; color:#DDD; text-align:left; text-indent: 8px; background-image:none; background-repeat:no-repeat; } #roll:hover { background-image:url(../img/box_roll.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: 0% 80%; overflow:hidden; }

Try to play around with:
A suggestion:PHP Code:
background-attachment: fixed;
Since there are lot of same id elements in your page,
why don't group them into same class,
(e.g: class="roll" instead of id="roll").

Tried it out Tuesday night, third night of business.
First, as has been commented on, this is 95% the same as Brasserie V. Not a bad thing, just sayin'.
Service: Slow, slow, slow, slow. Polite and nice young lady was in way over her head. They will fix this, you can't let drinks sit empty, or tables not turn over quickly as people walk in and then leave.
Drinks: Really nice wine menu and great beer menu, crazy-ass specialty drink menu. No explanations of the beer ala Brasserie V which I kind of missed. The three best craft brews in WI are all represented: Ale Asylum, Central Waters, Lake Louie. Unfortunately with the Belgians on tap it may be hard to get to them.
Food: House salad is a little overpriced at $6, although it is wonderful. The almond stuffed, bacon wrapped figs with a small serving of greens is the same price and were amazing.
The steak/frites at Brasserie V was the best meal in town and it will be here as well. Waitress forgot the aioli, and the flatiron was very undercooked (could still see marbling in center) but it was third night, they were swamped and at medium rare it will be perfect. The hyper-seasoning of the steak combined with the searing, the pan sauce, and the roast on the aspargus is worthy of a /homergargle.
Once the kinks get worked out this will be a once-a-week place to eat, at least.
RIP Brasserie V

When is a good time to uncover a buried fig? I know it's early and we're still going to get some very cold days here in Northern New Jersey but I'm concerned about it getting too warm when spring arrives under all the bags of leaves covering it. Today we were in the low 60's. When do you Jerzey guys start uncovering your fig trees? Thanks |

Take your cue from mother nature & uncover when other figs &/or mulberry trees (cousins - both in family Moracea) are beginning to leaf out. Al |

Thanks tapla. That is good info for me to use. Now I do not have to look at the tall maple trees to see new buds growth. I have two weeping mulbury plants in the front yard and at eyes level. This year I can bring my two fig plants out on time and later get some ripe figs (instead of just one that we had last year that I had to share with my wife). |

Labour day! Labour day is on the first Monday of September each year. That is when the figs ripen (or at least some varieties) and ready for eating. Yum Yum.... |
I usually aim for around mother's day. Of course I peek frequently before that as well. ~Chills |
Of course, the September time (frame) must be a JOKE... George (NJ). |
Please be very careful, there are some new and naive fig-guys/gals that may interpret things literally, same as I fell for the (special fig ) Zebra fig ... (lol! - 1st and hopefully last me saying [dem IT l*l). |

hi, check for your area the safe date to plant potatoes for your area and that should be pretty accurate, naturally if the year is colder than usual. wait maybe a week or two. this is pretty well accepted advice. marcantonio |
When I lived in New York I used to uncover my figs about March 15. A local grower used to wait until May. When he unwrqapped his figs that late there was some dead wood and etiolated foliage from growing in the dark. I long since abandoned wrapping my figs, and found that they tended to do better than people who protected their plants. Of course, I was careful to NEVER encourage late season growth because that growth is very cold sensitive. In zones 6b/7a, you should be able to unwrap your plants by early April, or even late March. I would NOT wait until late May, for sure! |

We always waited to St. Josephs Day. Ciao |
april 15 is a great date for your area |
Stick to tapla's advice, DOIT along with nature... |
If you uncover (or take out) the tree while it is still dormant, it is protected from cold snaps and will come out of dormancy "naturally" at its own pace. If you wait until it is out of dormancy, you have to protect it from freezing temperatures. For years, I kept my figs in the garage until they broke dormancy, and then pulled them out in the morning, and in at night. I felt that I was "giving them a head start". After a few years, I realized that I wasn't getting figs any faster (the cool night temperatures in the garage saw to that) and just put them outside when the weather seemed likely to stay above 20 degrees. Being in New England, I did watch for any really big temperature fluctuations, and was prepared to protect them. If they are dormant, figs only need to be protected from extreme cold - not freezing temperatures. |
Hi Fignut:There are allwayes different opinion about every Subjiect. It will be nice if people only give there opinion based solely on what they learned from their own experience. It will be a lot simpler for all of us. I absolutelly had the same exact experience with my trees as you had with yours. Because of it this year i was allready taking off some of the blankets,on some trees that had too much protection. I did it because about a week ago we had a couple of days with 70 * F.But i left at least one on each tree because they still need protection,but not as thick as in January. I did it because i noticed the trees are swetting too much,and stay wett too long. So in fact we need to give more care ,than just wrapping and unwrapping,in order to have the trees alive and well in Spring. Best Regards to all. |

A few months ago, I noticed a bunch of these plants springing up in an area I planned to plant wildflowers. When I pulled them out, I noticed they all had small brown bulbs/tubers attached. I wasn't sure what they were so I decided to do away with them. Now that my flowers have sprouted and grown, four of these have grown up alongside them. Anyone have any idea what they are? |
Follow-Up Postings:
they look exactly like Dahlias, and they do have tubers.One looks like flowering soon, so you can see than what type it is. They are perennial in your climate I think. |
- Posted by LantanaLove 9 - Riverside, CA (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 14:11
No way... Why did I rip them out?! There were so many of them I assumed they were gonna be an aggressive weedy plant or an unwanted shrub. That's a bummer, but at least I still have 4 left. Thank you for your help! |
Yes, dahlia |
Dahliaaa!!!! When in doubt ... let it grow! :) I had some unfamiliar foliage coming up in one of my beds and left it.. it turned out to be a dahlia too!!!! :) |
- Posted by LantanaLove 9 - Riverside, CA (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 23:04
Last time I was in doubt it was Tree of Heaven. I've become a bit over zealous about pulling volunteers. |
The moral of this story is ...... come here before pulling ;-) Did you dump the tubers somewhere on your property? If so they may be sprouting there. |
- Posted by LantanaLove 9 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 11:02
No, I threw them all away. I was trying to be extra cautious. While we're discussing dahlias I might as well ask: I planted some zinnias, four o'clocks and dahlia seeds in my front yard a few weeks ago. The seeds germinated immediately and they all have 2-4 sets of leaves on them, making them easier to identify. After I saw that my mystery plants were dahlias I realized that only the zinnias and four o'clocks germinated. (I wasn't sure what the dahlia seeds looked like, so I assumed they resembled one of the two other seedlings). Do dahlias take a long time to germinate from seed? Do they need a cold period or anything? I assumed they were quick growing annuals since the seed packets I bought were in the annuals section. I always thoroughly read each seed packet to determine whether or not they're an appropriate choice but now I'm wondering what happened... |
Grown dahlia from seed numerous times to sell as bedding plants. It's a really economical way for people to come by them. They'll tuber up after their first growing season and in climates where they're not hardy, one can pull the bulb and store them. No, they don't need any sort of stratification. |

Here's a picture of my freshly-planted H. mac. 'Schloss Wackerbarth' a.k.a. 'Horwack' a.k.a. 'Pistachio' It's supposed to have a low-spreading profile, and the potted specimen was already beginning to follow suit. Aside from the lateral growth at the base, the majority of it is tightly-clustered upright spires (hence being named after a castle, I suppose!). It does not grow thick stems but the stems are very rigid and sturdy. The leaves are also thick, small, and cupped, with a red tinge around the edges. There are a bunch of buds on this, but it's a bit too early to report anything on blooms. But I will continue to post back with its progression into the Summer. For comparison, on the left in the picture is its other new neighbor 'Hortmahar' (opening cream-colored), with arborescens 'Annabelle' behind and 'Blue Cassel' to the right. This Winter I'm simply going to throw some leaves on it and see how it does. Most everything on this north-facing hillside garden dies back quite a bit, so I'd be surprised if that isn't repeated here. |

I was strolling through a distant (about an hour away) Dick's store one day and saw the attached Stack-On cabinet. It looked perfect for my modest (mostly pistols and about 6 rifles/shotguns) needs and available space so I took a picture and hoped I would find it at my local Dick's. Well I haven't been able to locate it in the Stack-On site nor at my local Dick's. Is it a discontinued model? I don't have a part # that I can see in my picture. I thought it would be easy to find when I saw it and took the picture.
Thanks for any help finding anymore info on it.

Paul, to my very un-expert eye, it looks maybe identical. Are the margins a bit wider, perhaps? Any distinctions you can see? Thanks, |

From Hostapedia - supposed to be an improvement of FW, but Zilis notes - that he has never been able to see any difference between the two, except for a bit less spring dessication burn on the leaves of Samurai. I note - Samurai suffers from dessication as well. Here is an exceptional specimen from a garden tour. Paul |
Beautiful photo, Paul, thanks for posting it. The margins do seem a tad wider/more irregular, but perhaps my FW is just young by comparison. |

Looking ahead to the Winter Hosta Alphabet, Queen of Islip can make a showing in the scant "Q" section. But no thanks, I won't get one myself. I'll look at the sports page, but will seek "Q" clearances elsewhere. |
Friends don't give friends FW family... yeah, Frances Williams looks pretty good for much of the season some years in my very deep shade spot... but why - with all the great looking hostas out there that don't have the defective genes that produce spring desication - why would we keep producing and circulating these plants? Q. Why do you keep banging your head against the wall??? A. Because it feels so good when I stop!!! |

"Friends don't give friends FW family... " I'd take Dorothy Benedict from a friend anytime....... Paul |
I agree with Paul, also a DB for me please! There are several good pictures of h. 'Queen of Islip' in the HostaLibrary.org. I like FW, have them a long time, have one beautiful large one with wide borders. So what when some leaves get some frost burn, others plants burn up in summer in the heat much worse. And as we all know there are attacks by many insects and critters. |

I don't think it was at all. I watch that show regularly and those are really great actors. It was appropriate for the genre of the show.
Oh my gosh. I don't watch the show, but I felt like I had to watch this now, wow that last like ten seconds was really disturbing, but that's what torture is really like, so they were true to it, terrifying as it may be.

Food for Life caterers will now exclude endangered fish
30/01/2012The Soil Association has launched updated standards for the Food for Life Catering Mark. [1] They maintain the same rigorous principles but have also been updated to encourage more healthy eating, and to exclude endangered fish from nearly half a million meals served each day that are covered by the scheme. [2], [3]
"We welcome the update to the Food for Life Catering Mark standards and the significant benefits this will bring for marine fish conservation," said Kath Dalmeny, who works with caterers to encourage greater use of sustainable fish, and helped establish the Sustainable Fish City campaign. [4] "Food for Life is an inspiring model for how caterers can help their customers enjoy high quality food, live healthier lives and play their part in creating a more sustainable food system. It is very welcome news to see that participating food companies will now be required to exclude endangered fish at Food for Life bronze level."
The move will also mean that the 17 London Boroughs that already hold a Bronze Food for Life Catering Mark for their school catering services will be required to exclude endangered fish from school menus by the beginning of 2013. See a report on London Borough progress on buying and promoting sustainable fish: www.sustainweb.org/sustainablefishcity/policy_makers/
Over 4,500 schools around the UK are already engaged with Food for Life, serving healthy, freshly prepared and seasonal menus, and taking steps to improve the sustainability of the food they buy. In addition, many other organisations that serve food are also joining in, including local authorities, nursery schools, universities, hospitals, restaurants and cafes, and larger commercial caterers that serve food in a range of outlets.
Caterers that hold a Food for Life Catering Mark serve food that meets the following criteria:
- At bronze, 75% of meals are freshly prepared and menus are seasonal. All eggs are from cage-free hens which have space to move around and behave more naturally. In addition, no fish from the Marine Conservation Society's 'Fish to Avoid' list can be served.
- For the silver award, in addition to the bronze criteria, menus can gain points for including a range of locally produced and organic ingredients. Chicken, eggs and pork products should come from farms which meet the RSPCA's 'Freedom Food' standard. This guarantees that animals are kept in a stimulating environment where they can exhibit their natural behaviour.
- To gain the gold Catering Mark award, food providers must still meet the criteria for the bronze awards and build on the commitments that gained them a Silver award. They can gain points for serving organic meat, eggs or dairy products, and for using a higher proportion of local food, organic food and Marine Stewardship Council-certified fish.
The new standards have been updated to better recognise caterers' different motivations and encourage them to tell their own stories. The Awards now incorporates a flexible, points-based system at Silver and Gold levels to allow for greater flexibility and creativity. For example, some gold Catering Mark holders will serve almost exclusively organic menus and others will prioritise local sourcing or healthy eating. However all caterers who achieve the silver and gold Catering Mark standards will show a strong commitment to serving healthy, local, free-range and organic food.
Changes to bronze standards
The standards for the Bronze Catering Mark remain fixed, with five additions to increase the scheme's focus on health and food education. The Bronze standards already provide a guarantee that all accredited menus offer meals which are freshly prepared, seasonal, free from trans fats and controversial additives. Introduced on 30 January 2012, the following additional standards will be required to achieve the bronze Catering Mark:
- Free drinking water is prominently available.
- No fish is served from the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) 'fish to avoid' list.
- Information is on display about food provenance.
- All suppliers have been verified to ensure they apply appropriate food safety standards.
- Caterers in schools, early years and residential care settings can demonstrate their compliance with national standards or guidelines on nutrition and healthy eating.
Changes to silver and gold standards
The silver and gold criteria are switching to a points system, which will reward every percentage of ingredient spend on ethical, environmentally-friendly, local and healthy food. The Soil Association has created a Points Calculator where caterers can find out if their menus meet the silver or gold standards.
To find out more contact the Soil Association's Food for Life Catering Mark team on email@example.com or 0117 914 2406. Read more about the Food for Life Catering Mark and how to apply here - www.sacert.org/cateringmark
Notes to editors
- Find out more about the Food for Life Catering Mark on the Soil Association website.
- A stakeholder consultation about these proposals and a series of test inspections took place during summer 2011. The new standards were fully approved by the Soil Association Council in November 2011. Existing Catering Mark holders can choose to be inspected against either system during 2012 and will be required to show how they meet the new standards at their 2013 inspection. New applicants from Monday 30 January 2012 will be required to demonstrate how they meet the new standards to achieve the bronze, silver or gold Catering Mark.
- There are now over 470,000 Food for Life Catering Mark approved meals being served per day, or around 90 million meals per year.
- Kath Dalmeny sat on the London 2012 Food Advisory Group that helped to devise the sustainable fish standard adopted by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and also sits on the Soil Association's Food for Life Catering Mark standards committee. She now works with caterers to improve the healthiness and sustainability of the food they serve via the Food Legacy and Sustainable Fish City campaigns.

I have been travelling around the UK meeting fishermen, marine conservationists, politicians, supermarkets bosses, and of course fish-eating members of the public. It has changed the way I think about fish.

A few posts in various places on this forum have expressed the following belief about handheld lights:
You're setting yourself up for death if you use one.
A few other posts in various places on this forum have expressed the following belief about weapon-mounted lights:
You are setting yourself up for a visit by at least one and possibly all of the Four Horsemen of the Apolocalypse if you mount one on a firearm.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please, please listen to me about this: There is a way to run a light in a pre-confrontation or confrontational environment that does not have the words "Massive Fail" included anywhere at any time. Training is readily available in the correct and safest techniques and methods for using a light in conjunction with a firearm, or for using a light mounted on a firearm, or both. Instructors are available who can teach these things to you. I beg those of you who want or need to know the best way to fight with a light and a gun to go get the training that will make you able to do that.
People go in harm's way all the time with lights in their hands and lights on their weapons. Most of them, I dare say the large majority of them, are not killed because they use the light. What they do, you can learn to do. It takes some effort, but it's not really hard to learn. You can make it much more dangerous for your attacker than it is for you to use a light. Please, if you're concerned about this aspect of the fight, go and study it.
I yield the podium.

On the Feet of New York! VIBE's Weekly Kick Picks: The SoHo Edition
Check out the latest edition of VIBE Kick Picks! This week, we hit the famous neighborhood of SoHo—where black hipsters, Asian dreadlock rastas, and white b-girls can all be linked together by intense senses of style, a broad range of individuality, and rich NYC street culture in general.—Keenan Higgins
Let's start it off and see what our first 'sneakerhead' Gary had to say about his kicks:
"[The Jeremy Scott Adidas are] very different. It's a very unique style. Not a lot of people wear it, and I like to be different."
—Gary Jones
*Shoutout to Gary though, as we caught him coming fresh out the sneaker store. You're looking at new, out-the-box pair right here—just the way we like 'em!

The recent past has been uneventful
from Warren Buffett – Letter To Shareholders 2012 on Genius
Buffett here refers to the tendency of humans to make future predictions by straight-line extrapolating from the recent past.
It doesn't seem to matter how often experts point out that this is a behavioral bias — people do it all the time, and get upset when you point out that they're doing it.

The House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday that would roll back the flood insurance rate hikes caused when legislation passed two years ago removed some subsidies that aim to make premiums more affordable.
The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 passed by a wide margin — a vote of 306-91. All of New York City's representatives voted for the bill.
The proposal would roll back many of the reforms passed under the Biggert-Waters Act of 2012, which eliminated some subsidies that made flood insurance more affordable. That law, enacted as part of an appropriations bill, aimed to bring the National Flood Insurance Program back from the brink of bankruptcy. The program is $24 million in debt.
Biggert-Waters was passed just months before Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast. Since the storm, FEMA has proposed expanding its flood zones to include many areas that were not originally mandated to buy flood insurance, including most of the Rockaway Peninsula, Long Island City and Howard Beach. Residents living in flood zones have seen a massive hike in flood insurance rates due to the Biggerts-Waters Act, which took effect last Oct. 1, from an average of several hundred dollars a year to, in some cases, as high as $12,000 annually.
In Howard Beach specifically, most residents did not need to have flood insurance before Sandy unless they had a mortgage. Under new maps proposed by FEMA, nearly all residents would require flood insurance.
The issue galvanized residents who feared rising rates would devastate coastal neighborhoods. More than 1,000 southern Queens residents attended a rally in Broad Channel in September demanding Congress roll back the reforms under Biggert-Waters.
If it becomes law, the legislation would impose a four-year delay on premium hikes for some homeowners. FEMA would have that time to conduct and complete a study on making the increased rates affordable.
"With this bill, we add certainty to homeowners who are struggling to recover from the economic crisis," said Rep. Greg Meeks (D-Jamaica). "This bill provides solutions for homeowners who have seen excessive rate increases. The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act is a positive sign that the House of Representatives can work in a bipartisan fashion to solve the problems facing American families."
"While improving the financial viability of the national flood insurance program remains an important objective, we cannot allow skyrocketing flood insurance rates to price people out of their homes," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-Brooklyn, Queens). "This bill strikes an appropriate balance, and I urge the Senate to move swiftly to reach consensus on legislation that can be signed into law by the President."
Opponents of the bill argue it would bankrupt the flood insurance program and leave coastal residents without any protection from the costs of flood damage. Homeowners insurance does not cover damage caused by flood.
The legislation would not repeal Biggert-Waters, which even supporters of the bill passed yesterday argue is necessary to keep the NFIP sustainable, but would alter the way FEMA has implemented it. For example, the original law called for an affordability study, but it was not necessarily mandated before hiking rates. The new bill would delay any rate hike until after the study is done.
The bill now goes to the Senate — which passed a different version of the bill in January. There is a bipartisan coalition of Senators supporting the bill and supporters suspect it could reach the 60-vote threshold needed to prevent a filibuster from opponents, should they choose to force one. Upon Senate passage, it would go to President Obama's desk. Supporters expect the president will sign it, though he's made no public statements on it.

The international dimension of education is important in Cyprus where international students receive a quality education in a safe, friendly environment at an affordable cost. They, in turn, enrich the educational experience of our own students and bring an international dimension to our culture. Lifelong friendships and networks are formed between Cypriot and overseas students which later enhance the cultural and trade relationships between our countries.

Swinglin Shredder Oil is very econonmica
Comments about GBC® Shredder Oil:
I purchased this 16 oz. bottle of Swingline Shredder Oil for our shredder. It is very economical and easy to use. The convenient squeeze top bottle makes it easy to dispense with no mess or spillage. If you have a shredder that requires shredder oil, I would highly recommend purchasing this larger bottle of shredder oil. Ordering from Staples makes life much easier also. Our order was eligible for free shipping and was delivered to our door the next business day by very courteous and professional drivers/delivery people. So, this purchase of shredder oil from Staples was a win-win situation. Thank you.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." |
