> Just use testing/wheezy, there's no need to face with the unstable release
testing[wheezy] is quite similar to unstable[sid] generally ... things get a bit
more lively around the release time for a new stable when testing is frozen for
six months before the new release, then becomes the new release, then changes
rapidly as all the backlog moves in. experimental also exists and has had things
like ardour3 on it sometimes, packages or versions that are not in sid but are
tests or alternatives being tried out before being moved into sid.
Sid is more useful than testing if what you want from your system is a system
that matches the system that the packagers are using to prepare new packages, in
particular if you want to be able to use the packages that the multimedia
maintainers are making. That list has been growing rapidly for the last year or so.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
While the Salomon Soft Flask doesn't make the same nifty noises as a bendy straw, it comes awfully close in the super-cool department. This soft water bottle compresses as you suck in fluids and won't leak when you cram it into your pack. You've to bite on the spout before any water comes out. And, given that it comes in three sizes, you'll be able to stay sated whether you're walking the dog or hiking in the heat of summer.
- Backcountry.com
Stay hydrated on your run, hike, or ride with Salomon's Soft Flask. The pliable plastic body conforms to your hand for a comfortable carry and is extremely light and easily packed when empty. The bite valve top is easy to operate on the move without splashing and loosing water.
- Mountain Gear
Use this Salomon 8 fl. oz. Soft flask on its own or together with the Sense Hydro S-Lab Handheld Hydration set (sold separately) to stay hydrated on long runs. PVC-free and BPA-free 8 fl. oz. soft flask conforms to your hand for a comfortable grip. Bite down on the valve and give the flask a slight squeeze to squirt water into your mouth.

The SwissMiniGun is the world's smallest revolver and takes the world's smallest rim fire ammunition. The total length from barrel to handle is 5.5 centimeters. The ammo is 2.34 millimeters. Although it's Barbie-sized, the SwissMiniGun has all the same features as a real-size gun. Maybe this will convince Mattel to create "Shooting Range Barbie."

Sharm El Sheikh Holidays
Your Sharm El Sheikh holiday
Make the most of the winter holidays by taking a relaxing holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh. This beautiful coastal resort town is known as the city of peace, but it also hosts numerous activities, historical locations, and unforgettable landscapes. The well-developed beach town is popular year-round for Egyptians and foreigners alike due to its constantly warm climate. Take a walk down the coast, or snorkel above the underwater wonderland, and you'll soon realise why a flight to Sharm el-Sheikh should be on everyone's agenda.
Located on the southern extreme of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, Sharm el-Sheikh has a population of 35,000, and has become one of the country's most important coastal centres. The town originated as a strategic port and naval area for the Egyptian Army, while also acting as a regional hub for fishing. In the 1950s, Israel took over the city in the Suez Crisis, but it regained independence one year later. It wasn't long before trouble returned to the area, however, and the United Nations placed troops in Sharm el-Sheikh during the Six Day War in 1967. The city was restrained under Israeli military law when the Sinai Peninsula was granted freedom not long after the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty in 1979.
As planning committees decided to create subdivisions of the Gulf of Aqaba, which divided the different zones, city centres such as Taba, Nuweiba, Dahab and Sharm El-Sheikh were created. In the 1980s, foreign investors began to build beachside resorts with cooperation from the Egyptian government. It was in this moment that much of the city's commercial and population growth began to occur. In 2005 the resort town suffered terrorist attacks by an extremist Islamist organisation, when almost 90 people were killed in the deadliest attack in the country's history. It bounced back quickly from the tragedy, and today the major industry is tourism, with visitors coming from all over Egypt and the world.
Best time to take a vacation to Sharm El Sheikh
The warm temperatures that hit Sharm El Sheikh during summer make June, July, and August the best time to visit. The average temperatures usually hit the low 20s but can easily climb above 30°C in August. Winter temperatures often drop a little lower during the day and hit temperatures well below 20°C at night, so bring along some warmer clothes for the nights out in Sharm El Sheikh.
Insider tips for Sharm El Sheikh travel
Aqua Blue Water Park
As this is one of the only water parks in Sharm El Sheikh, locals come here in droves on hot days for the water rides and attractions.
This old-fashioned building serves some of the best pizza in the city, making it popular with locals who want to avoid the touristy pizza places.
Terrazzina Beach
Terrazzina Beach delights visitors with live music and delicious food, and locals enjoy it because of the low tourist traffic.
La Locanda Steakhouse & Oriental Food
Though this restaurant has an odd name, it has a great atmosphere, friendly waiters, and a variety of different menu offerings.
Wreck Caffe
Seafood dishes and international cuisine make this a hidden gem in the city-and one that tourists don't know about.
How to move around in Sharm El Sheikh
Airport Services
Most visitors arrive at Sharm el-Sheikh by plane. The international airport is 10 kilometres outside of Na'ama Bay and has good shuttle transports that whisk new arrivals to the beach in no time. The only problem is that schedules can be unreliable. Taxis are another option, but can be overpriced, and as many drivers don't use meters they are renowned for charging over the odds.
Bus and Train Travel
Sharm el-Sheikh has cheap public bus transport options for those looking to save money for activities. It is important, however, to flag down the driver or else he will not pick you up, even at a designated stop. Change is necessary when using the bus and it is advisable to consult the driver about the amount for the destination before getting on. Train connections within the city aren't very developed and are rarely necessary.
Even if you don't mind paying a bit extra for taxis, it is still a good idea to order one from a reputable company or pick one up in a designated area—it's safer this way than flagging one down in the street. Try to settle on a price before riding so as to avoid any confusion later on in the journey.
Car Rental
A car hire in Sharm el-Sheikh could be the best option if you plan on moving around a lot. Renting a car is a low-cost way to travel, and an efficient way to get to and from different beaches.
Sharm El Sheikh restaurants
Sharm el-Sheikh is a delight for those with exotic culinary tastes. One of the more popular spots is the Little Buddha (Na'ama Bay Hotel), located in Na'ama Bay. This restaurant mixes all types of Asian cuisine—drawing on Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Indonesian influences. The restaurant decor is exceptional and the service is speedy and friendly. It's also a good place for a night out with friends because after 11 pm the upstairs section of the restaurant turns into one of the area's prime dance clubs.
Guests who need a short break for a drink and some nibbles should head over to the Havana Bar (Hilton Hotel, Na'ama Bay). On the Na'ama Bay seafront near the promenade, the bar has soothing oriental plants and waterfalls, all connected by a series of quaint bridges. All visitors need to do is buy a drink, relax at one of the outdoor tables, and spend hours people-watching.
A good restaurant for great authentic Egyptian and Middle Eastern cuisine is the El Masrien (Old Market). A charming oriental wonderland with soft background music and lavish decor, this restaurant has an à la carte menu filled with hot and cold Lebanese dishes such as fowl, eggplant and quail.
If you fancy something a little more traditional, a local legend in Italian cuisine is the El Fanar (Ras Umm Sid). This little corner of Italy in the middle of the Sinai desert has a menu that includes fish, meats, sweets, pizzas, and all the imported wines and liquors that anyone could ever want.
Promotion Sharm El Sheikh
A great place to stay for a family vacation is the Hilton Sharks Bay Resort. An all-inclusive resort just outside of the town, the hotel has a private beach, and seven swimming pools. Tennis courts are available for the more active holiday-goers, while golfers will love the challenging course. The hotel is only 10 minutes from the airport by car and has a health club and no fewer than 11 distinct restaurants.
Another elegant and modern haven is the Four Seasons Hotel. This hotel is on the southernmost point of the Sinai Peninsula, and faces out towards the Red Sea and Tiran Island. The main building has two floors, one with hotel information, concierge, health club, spa and several restaurants.
A more affordable resort option is the Logaina Sharm Resort. The hotel is located at Shark's Bay and is a 48-suite resort that offers distinct swimming pools, and gardens for the whole family. The hotel has a bar/lounge, game room for the kids, laundry service, restaurant and unlimited wireless signal throughout the building.
The beautiful Savoy Hotel is another great spot to rest. The low-rise complex is just three kilometres from the town centre and a 15 minute-drive to Na'ama Bay. The rooms are lined with elegant marble and wood, and include all the amenities you would demand from such a high-calibre brand.
If these options are not to your fancy, you can find lots more information about a hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh online.
Health & Safety
Accidents and Health Problems
Tap water is not recommended for drinking and it is preferable for travellers to drink bottled water such as Baraka, Delta, or Siwa.
Sharm el-Sheikh's health infrastructure is good and the medical staff is usually highly trained.
In the case of emergency visitors should call 123 for an ambulance, 122 for Police or 125 for the Fire Department.
Egypt has a low crime rate, but it is recommended that travellers do not walk by themselves in areas they don't know or far from the resort, especially at night or in poorly lit areas. It's also not a good idea to flash jewellery around as it may draw attention for the wrong reasons. It is also prudent to keep a copy of all travel documents somewhere safe, just in case the originals are stolen or misplaced.
Terrorism is a risk, so be especially vigilant in crowded areas frequented by tourists, as they maybe a target for attack. Small collective transport vehicles such as minibuses are a dangerous mode of transport, the Egyptian railway service is poor, and local or regional air transport should only be taken if it meets the European Commission standards.
It is a good idea to adapt clothing to the culture: Egypt is a conservative country so overt displays of sexuality in public can be a dangerous thing. It is also not advised to visit the border with Israel, as the risk of an attack increases dramatically in that area.

"About 90 fruit and vegetable crops, including melons, pumpkins, and even cotton are more productive with their help.
"And almond crops rely entirely on honeybees for pollination and Australia's young almond industry is booming right now in the tri-State region."
Since varroa mite and other bee diseases hit America and wiped out huge numbers, US beekeepers have also relied on NSWgrown stock to help pollinate their almond trees.
In 2006, Australian beekeepers cashed in, shipping export package bees worth $3-4 million to America.
However, this is in contrast with the rest of the local industry, beset by poor yields and low prices, brought on by the drought.
"The bee industry had a reasonable summer honey crop, but domestic prospects for the next two years look very bleak," Dr Somerville said.
"There will be very few eucalypt flowerings in the next 12 months, which will lead to a yield well below average in the Australian honey crop over the next 12 months to two years."
All sections of the local industry accept that the arrival of destructor in Australia is a matter of when, not if, and its effects would be far more dramatic than a wide incursion of Apis cerana.

Hi GWers! It has been a while since I posted. Been fighting with my contractor to wrap this b!+ch up. It has been a nightmare with him not showing up. So bad in fact we took a few projects away from him, one being the backsplash. I've tiled before so I figured I'd do it it myself. It came out beautiful if I do say so myself. :) Problem is, I went well beyond the recommended 2 hours to wipe off the haze and its really stuck on there! Ran out to home depot for 1 thing and well you know how that goes. Ended up browsing like I had all the time in the world. 3 1/2 hours later its a hazy mess. I can gently scrub and buff each individual tile and it comes back but its killing my back! Does anyone know of a better way, a chemical or a solution perhaps? Thanks so much. The tile is a pineapple onyx. Pics to follow... |

Yes, check with a professional first before doing anything! I was just trying to offer some initial reassurance. You might have to resort to having it polished again. |

Diabetes - preventing heart attack and stroke
Diabetes - preventing heart attack and stroke
Lower Your Risk
People with diabetes have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. High blood pressure and high cholesterol increase this risk even more. Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol are very important for preventing heart attacks and strokes.
See the health care providers who treat your diabetes often. Your doctor will check your cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. You may be asked to take medicines.
A healthy lifestyle, especially watching how much you eat and exercising every day, can help prevent heart attack and stroke. A daily 30-minute walk will lower your risk.
Other things you can do to lower your risk are:
- Follow your meal plan.
- Exercise if you can.
- Do not smoke cigarettes. Talk with your doctor or nurse if you need help quitting.
- Take your medicines the way your doctor and nurse ask you to.
- Do not miss appointments.
When you have extra cholesterol in your blood, it builds up inside the walls of your heart's arteries (blood vessels). This buildup is called plaque. It narrows your arteries and reduces, or even stops, blood flow. This can cause a heart attack, stroke, or other serious heart disease.
Your doctor should check your cholesterol level at least once a year. Cholesterol target goals (in mg/dL) for adults are:
- Total cholesterol should be less than 200
- HDL ("good") cholesterol should be greater than 40 for men, and greater than 50 for women.
- LDL("bad") cholesterol should be less than 100 for men and women.
If you already have heart problems, your doctor may tell you that having an LDL level below 70 is better.
Your doctor may ask you to take medicines to lower your cholesterol. There are several kinds of drugs to help lower blood cholesterol levels. They work in different ways.
If you change your lifestyle and lose a lot of weight (and keep it off), you may be able to stop taking cholesterol medicine. Do NOT stop taking medications without first talking to your doctor.
Eat foods that are naturally low in fat. Learn how to shop for and cook foods that are healthy for your heart.
Getting plenty of exercise will also help. Talk with your doctor about what kind of exercise is right for you.
Blood Pressure
Have your blood pressure checked often. You can have it checked at a fire station or a drugstore. Your doctor and nurse should check your blood pressure at every visit. For most people with diabetes, a good blood pressure goal is less than 130/80 mm/Hg.
Exercising, eating low-salt foods, and losing weight (if you are overweight) can lower your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is too high, your doctor will prescribe drugs to lower it.
Before You Exercise
Getting exercise will help you control your diabetes and make your heart stronger. Always talk with your doctor before you start an exercise program or before you increase the amount of exercise you are doing. Some people with diabetes may have heart problems and not know it because they do not have symptoms.
Taking Aspirin May Help
Taking aspirin every day lowers your risk for heart attacks. The recommended dose is 81 mg a day. Do not take aspirin without talking to your doctor first. Ask your doctor about taking an aspirin every day if:
- You are over 50 years old (men) or 60 years old (women).
- You have had heart problems.
- People in your family have had heart problems.
- You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels.
- You are a smoker.

If 2v1 is a problem, it should be countered with options for players, not with asymmetric map changes. Find some way to give champs that need to 1v2 a way to deal with it for the early game in the form of masteries, items, or summoner skills.
I'm waiting for them to apply another ham-fisted change when teams start doing 3/1/1 and pushing fast enough to make the absence of a dedicated jungler irrelevant since the team that loses their tower no longer has unmolested access to his jungle. All the points about forcing the meta are extremely valid. The meta isn't about WHO you can pick to fill a lane, the meta is about HOW MANY you're "allowed" to put into a lane effectively. You never cared about this 2v1 issue back when that WAS the meta, where being able to handle a 2v1 was a REQUIREMENT for every top-laner. No changes to help them out were introduced, and then players discovered that jungling wasn't a total waste of time and managed to move away from what you apparently decided was suddenly now a problem on their own. Now that teams have decided that they can sacrifice the bottom lane when they can push top fast enough to offset the lack of dragon control, moving the meta to something else, it's suddenly become a problem? Assassins become dominate mid: nerf them so mages can trade tickles with each other again. Junglers are able to finally be everywhere at once, just as their team demands from them: way too many changes to the jungle to summarize here, since you've gone back and forth on rewarding ganks and rewarding farming to the point that any sweeping jungle changes are viewed with rolling eyes and heavy sighs. Bottom lane gets invaded by mages pushed out due to assassins and realize they're not bad at supporting: neuter their support elements, or neuter their mage elements --- whichever lane YOU think they should go back to. Have you guys ever thought about balancing the game around the idea of a role, and what role a lane should be for, rather than trying to force specific champions into specific lanes? Giving a champion all the tools they need to function in their little lane phase minigame has always led to major problems later, the most obvious of which would be Irelia.
Mindworm Jim
Okay. I managed to think of a possible solution that I don't hate: 1) All towers begin the game with a buff that reduces the damage they take from enemy champions. 2) The first team to slay the dragon removes this buff from the enemy team's towers. 3) At 15 minutes into the game (when Barons spawns), all towers lose the buff if they still have it. Dragon control becomes super important early gme, because the first dragon grants a large advantage to the team that can claim it. If you want to play aggressive it lets you push towers down faster, and if you want to be more passive it makes it harder for your opponent to push against you (sin eh our towers would still have the buff and theirs would not). It also mirrors nicely with Baron, since Riot has commented that they want to change Baron buff to be more of a tower-killing buff, rather than a team fight buff. The window before things even out again might be a little large, but that can be adjusted after testing.

Text of report in English by independent German Spiegel Online website
on 12 October
[Report by Charles Hawley: "World From Berlin: 'Ukraine may soon have
pariah status like Belarus'" - first paragraph is Spiegel Online
Europe and the United States have blasted the Tuesday [11 October]
verdict that sentenced former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko
to seven years in prison, saying the trial was politically motivated.
German commentators agree, but argue the European Union should still
forge stronger relations with Kiev.
Warnings from Europe and the United States against using the case for
political ends were unmistakably clear during the trial of former
Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko in Kiev. In the wake of the
guilty verdict and the seven-year prison sentence handed down to
Tymoshenko on Tuesday, the outrage has been palpable.
In a statement, the White House called the trial "politically motivated"
and said the country was "deeply disappointed". The verdict "raised
serious concerns about the government of Ukraine's commitment to
democracy and rule of law," it added.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle was just as harsh in his
appraisal of the verdict. "Today's judgment ... is a setback for
Ukraine," he said in a statement. "It unfortunately casts a very
negative light on the rule of law in Ukraine." Several other European
leaders likewise condemned Tuesday's verdict and Russian Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin said he "did not quite understand why she was sentenced
to seven years."
Tymoshenko, one of the primary leaders of Ukraine's 2004-05 prodemocracy
movement, known as the Orange Revolution, was convicted of abusing her
power as prime minister. The court found that she had improperly forced
the national natural gas company Naftohaz to sign a contract with Russia
in 2009 to resolve a price dispute between the two countries. The
government of current Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych says that
the deal cost Ukraine 1.5bn hryvnya (about 190m dollars).
'Deeply Disappointed'
But Tymoshenko has also been a long-time rival and critic of Yanukovych.
The Orange Revolution was a direct response to his fraudulent election
to the presidency in late 2004. Furthermore, Tymoshenko still has a
large following in Ukraine, making her potentially a dangerous rival to
Yanukovych in the future.
European Union officials, too, voiced their concern about the trial on
Tuesday and said that it could have consequences for ties between the EU
and Ukraine. The EU is "deeply disappointed" according to a statement
issued Tuesday by Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign affairs
representative. The trial, the statement says, "did not respect the
international standards as regards fair, transparent, and independent
legal process". The EU will "reflect on its policies towards Ukraine,"
including closer trade ties which are currently under negotiation, it
Still, it seems unlikely that Tuesday's verdict was the final word in
the case. Tymoshenko has vowed to appeal the ruling in the European
Court of Human Rights and Yanukovych himself seemed to hint that a
compromise could still be in the works when he said that the verdict was
not final due to the impending appeals process. Indeed, some analysts
think that she may still be released.
Several German politicians from Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian
Democrats (CDU) voiced outrage at the verdict on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Gunther Kirchbaum, head of the European Union committee in the German
parliament, said that Ukraine had "departed from rule-of-law standards,"
while CDU General Secretary Hermann Groehe called the verdict "a
scandal". Georg Schirmbeck, a CDU expert on Eastern Europe, called it a
return to barbarism.
Media commentators in Germany voiced similar concerns.
The centre-right Frankfurter Allgemeine writes:
"Brussels is justifiably showing Yanukovych the cold shoulder. But the
verdict has also put the EU in a difficult position. It has an interest
in encouraging democratization in Ukraine by binding the country to the
West. Reaching a deal in the negotiations over an EU-Ukraine free trade
agreement would be an important success in the 'fight' for Ukraine,
which has long been at the heart of Russian efforts to re-establish its
old empire under a new name. Yanukovych's see-saw politics has caught
Ukraine between the two sides."
"Yanukovych's announcement that that there will still be appeal
proceedings with an 'important verdict' could signal that the Ukrainian
president understands he cannot just toss the West aside. The
political-industrial complex in Ukraine does not want to return to being
under Russian control and at the mercy of Moscow's gas policies. The
country, people and oligarchs must decide: Ukraine will only continue to
waste away if it remains in the twilight zone between Western democracy
and Eastern despotism in which Tymoshenko's verdict took place."
The left-leaning daily Die Tageszeitung writes:
"The outcome of the Tymoshenko cause is a challenge to the international
community, and above all to the European Union.... How should Europe
sell the idea that a country which so flagrantly violates democratic and
constitutional principles should be rewarded nonetheless? It is high
time to admit that the EU's policies in Ukraine and other neighbouring
Eastern European countries have failed."
"A few million euros to boost democratic development and the prospect of
closer economic contacts are not enough in lieu of a clear affirmation
that the eastern countries also have a real chance at becoming EU
members. An adjustment in Brussels policy is desperately needed when it
comes to the former Soviet republics. Otherwise Tymoshenko's case will
serve as an example elsewhere."
The conservative daily Die Welt writes:
"Ukraine, a large country on the crossroads between the EU and Russia,
took a big step away from Europe and towards Moscow on Tuesday. What
happened to Mikhail Khodorkovsky in Russia has now happened to Yuliya
Tymoshenko in Ukraine. The potentially most dangerous figure to the
current government has been put behind bars for seven years following a
questionable trial."
"After the systematic curbs on democracy and the rule of law in Russia
and Belarus, Ukraine too now seems to be moving in this direction. The
Putinization of the political system ... has come a step closer."
Business daily Handelsblatt writes:
"Yuliya Tymoshenko never brought her country much luck. She was prime
minister twice and both times her disputes with the presidents in charge
created deep divisions in Ukraine. She only feels comfortable when she
is in a fight, and that is when she gains popularity. That is her style,
that explains her success, but it also shows: she never cared much about
the fate of Ukraine, it was always about herself."
"But the verdict announced yesterday was too harsh. It is questionable
whether government leaders should be held legally responsible for
treaties with other states - in this case with Russia and its gas giant
"President Viktor Yanukovych was not big enough to enter into a
political rather than legal confrontation with his rival. He has
resorted to the same injustice as Putin, who keeps trying to break the
spine of his rival, oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, through trials."
"But Europe should not fall into the Tymoshenko trap now. Criticism of
the harsh verdict is justified. But the negotiations about an
association agreement between the EU and Ukraine should continue. Europe
must reward the strategic decision of Ukraine to seek closer ties with
the EU."
The Financial Times Deutschland writes:
"Ukraine is degenerating into a pseudo-democracy and a
pseudo-constitutional state - it is degenerating back to how it was
before the Orange Revolution."
"This uninhibited demonstration of power could turn out to be
Yanukovych's greatest mistake: he has granted the opposition a political
martyr around whom they can rally once again in the future. And, from a
foreign policy perspective, the Ukrainian regime has, with Tuesday's
verdict, completely sidelined itself. You can forget about further
convergence with the European Union. If Ukraine is not careful, it could
soon have the same pariah status as Belarus."

Summary: "Studies of learning are too frequently conceptualized only in terms of knowledge development. Yet it is vital to pay close attention to the social and emotional aspects of learning in order to understand why and how it occurs. How Students Come to Be, Know, and Do builds a theoretical argument for and a methodological approach to studying learning in a holistic way. The authors provide examples of urban fourth graders from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds studying science as a way to illustrate how this model contributes to a more complete and complex understanding of learning in school settings. What makes this book unique is its insistence that to fully understand human learning we have to consider the affective-volitional processes of learning along with the more familiar emphasis on knowledge and skills. Developing interest, persisting in the face of difficulty, actively listening to others' ideas, accepting and responding to feedback, and challenging ideas are crucial dimensions of students' experiences that are often ignored"--Provided by publisher.

Were "EcoHat" to come up in passing,you would most likely think of something chunky, organic, and woolen–—perhaps a beanie with earflaps to keep you toasty while chained to a logger's truck. But in fact, the EcoHat is an innovative environmental housing feature created by British architects Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners (the new name for Richard Rogers Partnership) for the wonderfully un-British Oxley Woods development. The colorful set of detached homes is situated on the edge of the much-maligned planned community of Milton Keynes, about 50 miles northwest of London

I'm really getting tired of this.Some people call every rifle which is a member of the AK Family ''AK 47''.The majority of the AK family members are based on the AKM, not on the AK 47.The AK 47 has been produced since 1949 till 1959, then it was substituted by the AKM. An original AK 47 has: 1)A different receiver 2)Longer and different handguards 3)A different gas piston 4)Slightly different sight. 5)A different top cover 7)It is a rifle produced in the period 1949-1959 by Izhmash in Izhevsk, Russia. Any derivative/member of the AK family that has been built after 1959(all of them) should be not called ''AK 47''. Calling your rifle ''AK 47'' for any reason is just like calling it M16 or Gatling Gun(Since the final result is a piece evidence of your ignorance concerning the weapon you're carrying) Example given: Zastava M70 B1/AB2=Yugo AK 47=Serbian AK 47 Norico Type 56=Cinese AK 47 IMI Galil=Izraeli AK 47(so disturbing...it is Valmet Rk 62) Tabuk=Iraqi M70 AK 47(Ok...one of the longest name in the world(have you ever seen one of them?It is a Zastava M70 converted assault rigle to marksman rifle) And now...let compare some AK rifles: ORIGINAL AK 47(Type A, the first type ever.Produced:1947-1949)) ORIGINAL AK 47(Type B, issued to the Russian troops in the period 1949-1959.During this period, the Red Army tested it and suggested some more improvements, next step:AKM.P.S.:Look closely at the receiver, butt sock, top cover, etc if still think you own an AK 47) ORIGINAL AKM ZASTAVA M70 AB2 IMI GALIL Did you figure what's the difference?

Cut back on the coffee.... As long as you know the difference.
Glad I got a SKS
My pre-ban Mitchell Arms that I've had since 1988 is stamped both AK47 and RPK47. This can be seriously confusing for someone my age when choosing the correct name. I'd hate to go against what the mfg stamped on it.
I've got an AKM Romanian 1967 WASR 10/63. It is commonly referred to as an AK 47 because it's easier for others to conceive mentally, and an AKM is an added modification to the original AK 47, which makes the rifle easier to handle. It is as if the same product went through a slight process commonly recognized as 'New & Improved.' It's still an AK 47 that shoots the same 7.62x39. To make the distinction between the two is 'shop talk;' to make the distinction otherwise in a pedantic manner is 'splitting hairs.'
In the US it has just become a matter of convenience to refer to guns in this class as "AK 47s" or "AK 47 clones" because of all the variations. In early production there were different "Types" as well, since the earliest sheet metal receivers proved to be weak and they produced milled receivers for a while until they came out with the AKM with its improved stamped sheet metal receiver. Since the majority if Avtomat Kalashnikova inspired rifles in the US are semi auto only I usually call them AK clones.
Thanks... Now I actually want a AK-47.. I like the one in the first pic.... Can you get a "real" Russian AK-47 thats converted to semi-auto?
I have a jeep... 'Ugh, no you don't. Jeep was originally produced in the 1940's, today.... Wrangler... Cherokee... Liberty... Comanchee... You drive a Cherokee. A grand Cherokee at that.' Yeah.... I drive a jeep.
Arbitrary enforcement of the law is the mark of tyranny. Citizens will always fight against it.

I have tried a number of portable speakers, rechargeable and battery, and this beats them all. It feels robust- the Ipal needs such a handle. The radio is not as sensitive as my Kaito, but the sound of the Teac r1 is remarkable. Using CD player (better) or mp3 (OK), this is the unit to carry for country weekends. A single battery powered speaker requires prudent selection of music, but this handsome, simple unit provides a warm, rich sound. No trace of distortion until battery begins to run low on charge. If you find one, get it.

Is Gaston Glock on the same level as John Browning?

As others have said, no.
Glock makes a good firearm but it is not nearly as revolutionary as Browning's work. Even the 1911 by itself was more revolutionary than the Glock, and I don't worship at the church of 1911 like some do. I like the design and plan to purchase one in the future (sold a previous one because it would never run right).
Glock gets credit for the Glock handgun - it is a good combat weapon and he built the company that designed it, as well as marketed it and made it a success. But Browning's accomplishments far outweight Glock's.

Gas prices down
IRVING (AP) — The average price of gasoline in Texas dipped slightly to $2.63 this week.
The weekly AAA Texas price survey released Thursday shows the Texas price fell an average of 2 cents per gallon, while the national average held steady at $2.81.
Despite crude oil prices rising to the $85-a-barrel range, the auto club says a larger-than-expected supply of gasoline and oil is stabilizing prices.
The cheapest prices in Texas are in Fort Worth and San Antonio at $2.59 per gallon, 3 cents less than last week in Fort Worth and 2 cents less in San Antonio. The costliest gasoline is in Amarillo, where the average price fell a nickel to $2.68.

Vendor of the Week
Vendor Profile - Nick Maxwell
Nick Maxwell is working to end homelessness. Not just for himself, but for everybody.
"A lot of people want to sweep it under the carpet," he said "They feel it's not their problem. Homelessness is very serious and people are dying out there because they're homeless. There's a lot of people who are fighting for low-income housing. But there's also the other side of the coin where you have corporations that don't give a damn. They want to spend money on more high rises and housing for rich people. It's a travesty. Especially in one of the richest cities in the United States."
Nick is one of the newest members of the Real Change Board of Directors. He recently completed an advocacy internship at Real Change. In that role, Nick helped organize a shoe drive and has instructed other vendors to get their customers to sign an online petition asking King County Executive Dow Constantine to fund more emergency shelter for homeless people and take steps to reduce the number of people sleeping outside.
Nick sees Real Change as his future. He'd like a staff position at the organization, working to bring issues facing low-income and homeless people to the state legislature.
"I can make a difference and make people start listening," he said.
Nick traces his ideals about social justice back to the 1960s, including the classic rock music he loves.
"That music soothes me," Nick said. "It brings back memories. I'm 55 years old; I got to live a little bit of the '60s and '70s. Every time I listen to that music, it brings back memories of the things that I was doing. That music told a story. It told people what was going on with the Vietnam War and the stuff that was going on in the South."
Nick grew up in the South Bronx; his mother, from Puerto Rico, was a single parent.
"I learned a lot, growing up on the streets, seeing the homelessness. I never thought I'd be in that position, but I am."
He got started selling Real Change after a vendor told him the paper helps homeless and formerly homeless people get back on their feet. Nick didn't know if he could really take standing on the street all day selling the paper, but that turned out not to be a problem.
Nick sells Real Change daily from 9 a.m. until 5:30 or 6 p.m. outside of Bartell Drugs on Fourth Avenue near the Central Library and enjoys interacting with his customers.
"We're friends," he said. "We talk about everything that's going on in life, how holidays were, about families. If they have a problem I might give them some advice."
He's proud of the newspaper.
"It tells the truth; it's innovative; it talks about the real issues," Nick said. "If I didn't believe in this paper, I wouldn't sell it."

echoing lists in two or three columns
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. I have search results that display in a long-scrolling list. is there a way to have this echo into a new column of text every 20 results, for example?
For reference, here's what i have now:
Code:echo "title
"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($quer4)) { if($row[id]==@$cat){echo "<input type='checkbox' name='option1' value='$row[id]'>$row[Name]
";} else{echo "<input type='checkbox' name='option1' value='$row[id]'> $row[Name]
";} } echo "

If you look at your problem sideways (figuratively :-), one option seems to really pop out.
Since tables are drawn more from the row's perspective than the column's, why don't you just make more columns by adding more
's in each of your

All you would need to do is decide how many columns you wanted and use a counter in your loops.
Furthermore, if you needed your result set to look like it's flowing in columns rather than rows, break it out into a nested array.
That is, unless I'm totally off here
Surely someone with a better resume` can shed some light on the issue.

Dixie Chopper offers both the homeowner and the professional high quality ZTR mowers to meet their particular mowing requirements. With seven model lines of mowers with a range of deck sizes from 34 inches to 74 inches, engine horsepower ranging from 19.5 to 40, stainless steel construction, and even a four-wheel-drive system, Dixie Chopper will help both the homeowner and the profession to use their time more profitably by getting the grass cut.
Zero Turning Riding Mowers (ZTR)
Zero Turning Riding Mowers allow the mower to pivot on its independent drive wheels thus reducing the turning radius and providing precise cutting maneuverability.
For use in both residential and commercial applications ZTR mowers turn large yards into small work. With mower decks from 34 inches to 74 inches, engines ranging from 19.5 to 40 horsepower, the ability to turn on a dime, ZTR mowers take the work out of yard-work. ZTR mowers help to minimize the additional time required to finish the job with their exceptional maneuverability, allowing operators to cut close to trees, ornamental plant beds, bushes and other obstacles in the yard.
ZTR mowers cut from two acres to six acres of lawn in an hour depending on deck size, engine horsepower and speed of operation.
Stand-on Mowers
Allow the operator, whether a professional or a homeowner, to stand on the mower deck instead of having to walk behind the mower; in effect a riding lawnmower without a seat. The time spent mowing is not limited to how fast an operator can walk. With mower decks from 36 inches to 52 inches stand-on mowers make short work of large yards.
