I have a not so old, non collectable, beat up and have rusted out marlin 336 that i picked up locally for 150.00. The good news is, I always wanted something exactly like this as my truck gun, that I could mod as I wished and not worry about abusing one of my prestine rifles.
Anyone have any idea if those chamber inserts to .32 H&R will cycle through the action of a .30-30? if so, I may buy a few and throw them in for lighter game. (I dont currently reload)
Thanks to all in advance!
I've never thought of using a chamber adapter but just looking at MCA Sports CHAMBER ADAPTERS web page they look like a standard cartridge case. I would imagine the only way to know for sure if it'll cycle properly would be to try it. You might be able to try it with some spent cases to give you an idea if it'll work. My .35 Remington will chamber a spent case with no issues if I drop it in the receiver but I've never tried feeding them from the magazine.Stu

chamber adapters are a GREAT concept, but I can't say I've ever used one.
I am interested also. Be sure to let us know how it works, if you try it.

Guns dont kill people.Dads with pretty Daughters do..
Might be worth a try in my Savage #24 30-30/20ga over and under.The 55gr 30-30 accelerators shoot good in it but print nine inches high at 50yd when the rifle zeroed with Fed 170's.I might give one a try.
I'm stationed in Korea right now with no guns. Could one of you chaps with some empty brass load your mags and try to cycle the action? let me know what you find. The adapters are just like empty brass.
I had one in 32 S&W for the 30-06. It worked well to about 100m. My middle son now has it.
I'm not as good as I once was but I'm better ONCE than I ever was.

I am writing in response to the article "Teachers will take strike vote next week" (Coast Reporter, Feb. 28).
Ms. Wood's opening sentence is not true. Teachers are having a strike vote to put pressure on the government to bring a reasonable offer to the table, not because the government is going to waste more of the taxpayers' money on an appeal.
Teachers continue to try to get smaller class size and better learning conditions for students. In the article, lead government negotiator Peter Cameron tries to make teachers look like they are not bargaining. We have put forth a salary position, which we believe is reasonable. What we do not think is reasonable is that our students are underfunded by about $1,000 each when compared to the rest of Canada, and our teacher-student ratio is one of the worst as well.
I would like Education Minister Peter Fassbender to fund education properly, so we can give students more individual attention. We need full-time teacher-librarians and specialist teachers. We need smaller class sizes in all classrooms, and particularly, for safety reasons, in the shops and science labs. Instead of the government hiring a high price law firm to represent them for yet another appeal, why don't they put the taxpayers' money where it should go, into education?
As a teacher and a parent, I am not happy with the lack of funding for education. The government must stop making the school boards responsible for paying the wage increases of its CUPE and BCTF employees, causing cuts to student services. I urge all parents to contact the Ministry of Education and insist they stop the appeal and put back proper class size and support for our children.

Which means the souls who trashed the cemetery on September 28 were probably all too human. Under cover of darkness, one or more people wantonly toppled dozens of the 10.5-acre Edgewater graveyard's historically precious markers. Some smaller tombstones were cracked in two. In the walled-off Jewish section, where the mayhem seemed most concentrated, the imposing headstone of Rebecca Shaff (1888-1952) fell forward, breaking a granite slab engraved with the word Mother.
Clyde Cates, the cemetery's city-employed sexton, discovered the damage the next day, Sunday, when he drove by to feed three homeless dogs. He assessed the damage and called the police. The final tally, recorded on the incident report: 57 gravestones assaulted. There are no suspects. "I don't know who did it," Cates says. "It must have been somebody who was fairly strong. There was a lot of anger vented to go through all that trouble, though I don't believe it was vented at me. I get along great with the people in that area."
Vandalism at the Miami City Cemetery -- or any other cemetery -- is not unheard of. "People are drawn to cemeteries, for whatever reasons," observes Perry Caudill, a marketing executive for ECI Corp., which manages the three city cemeteries in Fort Lauderdale. "You can't keep people out. If they want to get in, they will get in." And when people get in, they often want to wreak havoc. "Vandalism is routine," says Ed Libengood of the Loewen Group, parent company of six local cemeteries. "It happens. All cemeteries from time to time have an occasion like that, when somebody comes through just for the fun of it."
In its 99-and-a-half-year history, the Miami City Cemetery has been violated dozens of times. "Vandals upset headstones on city cemetery graves," reads a Miami Herald headline from 1939; several overturned gravestones were "damaged badly." In one strange incident in 1970, a pack of monkeys swung through the place. That same year then-sexton Felix Cornejo reported regular findings of voodoo dolls with pins stuck in their limbs and "nine pennies" (which are actually nine dimes stacked together in a symbolic way). He put the coins in his pocket.
"I tell Clyde, 'Listen: Whatever you are going through has happened before,'" says Miami Parks Coordinator Robert Frazier, Cates's supervisor and a former cemetery sexton. "I mean, people coming in and practicing voodoo? You find the pennies. You find the quarters. Sometimes you may find a dollar bill. Hell, when I first got there, we found nineteen dollars," Frazier recalls. "Of course you know that was lunch!"
What was unusual about the September incident was the way it captured the attention of the media. Not only did the Herald report the crime, but all the local TV stations did too. The Sun-Sentinel followed up; later so did an Associated Press reporter looking for a Halloween feature.
In most of the stories, the vandalism rode shotgun to Clyde Cates, who grabbed the spotlight to complain that the graveyard is a victim of neglect at the hands of city administrators. "They don't care about the cemetery," Cates told the Herald. "This is an exile spot." If they wanted the place run the way it should be, he declared, he'd need more money, equipment, and staff.
His high-profile sniping struck a chord. Community activists scurried to the cemetery's aid. A private cemetery management company donated manpower to restore the toppled gravestones, and city administrators finally moved to spend a $250,000 grant they'd received from the state a year ago, specifically awarded for the repair of damaged gravestones and other cemetery improvements.
"Vandalism has happened so many other times, but this time it piqued an awful lot of interest and a lot of outrage," says Paul George, a historian who'd conducted one of his popular walking tours through the cemetery only a day before the vandals struck. "In a way, that vandalism was the best thing that could have ever happened to this cemetery."
"Oh yeah, hi," says Cates, not at all surprised that another reporter has stopped by for a visit. "I'm just trying to get this map in order here."
With his sinewy left forearm anchoring one side of a blueprint to his cluttered desk, he presses his right palm to the other edge. The top and bottom sides curl inward, forcing him to rock his head and midsection forward until he has the document pinned to the desk the way a wrestler might subdue an opponent. Realizing that he can't possibly read the blueprint in this position, Cates sits back and folds it up. "This is a listing of all the trees," he explains. "I guess it's from the Forties or Fifties, so most of the trees are gone now. But what I'd like to do is find out what trees are left and get name tags on them. A big giant African mahogany tree we have up in the front is so gorgeous. We have a hernandia sonora in here that most people probably have not heard about. That's what the sexton should really be working with -- getting that stuff organized in a professional manner instead of just mowing."

Rett syndrome (RTT) is characterized by specific motor, cognitive, and behavioral deficits. Because several of these abnormalities occur in other disease states associated with alterations in aminergic neurotransmitters, we investigated the contribution of such alterations to RTT pathogenesis. We found that both individuals with RTT and Mecp2-null mice have lower-than-normal levels of aminergic metabolites and content. Deleting Mecp2 from either TH-positive dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons or PET1-positive serotonergic neurons in mice decreased corresponding neurotransmitter concentration and specific phenotypes, likely through MeCP2 regulation of rate-limiting enzymes involved in aminergic neurotransmitter production. These data support a cell-autonomous, MeCP2-dependent mechanism for the regulation of aminergic neurotransmitter synthesis contributing to unique behavioral phenotypes.

The Detainee Bill Now Gets Even Worse
Fascinating piece this morning by Farah Stockman of the Boston Globe entitled "Legal residents' rights curbed in detainee bill." Her lead? "A last-minute change to a bill currently before Congress on the rights of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay could have sweeping implications inside the United States: It would strip green-card holders and other legal residents of the right to challenge their detention in court if they are accused of being 'enemy combatants.'
Stockman continues: "An earlier draft of the bill sparked criticism because it removed the rights of Guantanamo Bay detainees to challenge their detentions in federal court. But changes made over the weekend during negotiations between the White House and key Republicans in Congress go even further, making it legal for noncitizens inside the United States to be detained indefinitely, without access to the court system, until the 'war on terror' is over. It is unclear who initiated the changes. The bill, which also sets up a new system of military trials for terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, passed the House yesterday and is expected to be voted on in the Senate today, before Congress breaks for midterm elections."
Just contemplate what the proposed change means. It means that any green-card holder accused of even the most minimal link to a terror group can be treated like Yaser Hamdi, the US-born Yemeni man who was held incommunicado and without charges for years until the U.S. Supreme Court forced his release. It means that any legal resident can be rounded up by the White House, accused of being an enemy combatant on the flimsiest of charges, and be precluded from going to the courts, or anywhere else for help.
What an awesome power this gives the executive branch. And you might feel a whole lot better about the Administration's ability to use that power wisely if the history of the last five years weren't littered with examples where the White House overstepped that power. I already mentioned Hamdi, to whom the government said simply "never mind" after those long years of captivity. There is Jose Padilla, whom then-Attorney General John Ashcroft called a dirty bomb suspect, who now may not even be convicted of the most minor charges. There is Maher Arar, a Canadian, whom our officials knew was not a terrorist but who nevertheless was sent to Syria for torture.
With this track record, do you think the White House has earned the right from Congress to have even more discretion to apprehend people without giving those people a chance to have their case adjudicated by a fair and impartial court? With this track record, do you have confidence that grievous errors won't occur in the future? The proposed detainee is bad enough. The change Stockman has discovered would make it infinitely worse.

I am a fully practicing Catholic who believes the church's position on this is misguided at the very least. Illegal immigrants are INVADERS, not Immigrants. The church teaches that unjust laws are no laws at all, but immigration laws, whereby a country enforces control of it's borders, are not unjust laws. They are necessary means to maintain the integrity of the country. In other words, without controlled borders, the meaning of "country" really has no meaning. Therefore, when people break our immigration laws by sneaking in unauthorized and not going through proper channels, they are lawbreakers who should be deported at the very least. Many countries (incidentally including Mexico) punish illegal invaders with prison BEFORE deportation. Immigration reform should only include things connected with maintaining border control. No illegal invader should be REWARDED for breaking our laws, period. And there is no injustice in that.

State's slow job growth blamed on high taxes, training gap; anti-religion group loses bid to shelve icon; Golden Guernsey files Chapter 7; more state news
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Experts blame Wisconsin's slow employment growth on high taxes, a lack of job training, and a vulnerable manufacturing climate.
The federal government said Wisconsin's total private sector employment grew by only 1.5 percent for the year ending last June. That's the ninth-lowest growth rate among the 50 states and the numbers are based on the most accurate data available, a nearly complete survey of U.S. employers.

Oni Serializes Graphic Novel Before Release — Will Retailers Object?
- Posted by Johanna on January 7, 2014 at 4:14 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics, Graphic Novel News
Oni Press is set to release Down Set Fight, a graphic novel by Chad Bower, Chris Sims, and Scott Kowalchuk about fighting costumed mascots, on February 12.
However, the publisher just announced that prior to that date, the story would be serialized digitally in six installments. At $1.99 per, that makes for a better deal than the $20 graphic novel if you don't care how you read the story. What I'm most curious about, though, is whether those retailers that pre-ordered the print edition knew the same material would be available earlier and cheaper. Retailers hate that, and quite justifiably, as you need to know how and when a story is going to be sold in order to determine how much money to invest in buying it for resale to your customers.
If Diamond's order minimum is still $2500, then at a $20 cover price (and assuming a 50% retailer discount), the book only needed to receive 250 preorders in the direct market. I would hope a new Oni graphic novel would get that many, particularly with Chris Sims' visible online presence.
Then again, back in October 2012, Oni was saying that Down Set Fight would run as a webcomic in April 2013, which never happened. Maybe that's considered fair warning. And it's generally accepted that the digital audience is not the same as the print comic audience, so perhaps this serialization will work to raise awareness of the project and build demand for an eventual print purchase.
3 Responses to "Oni Serializes Graphic Novel Before Release — Will Retailers Object?"
- Alex de Campi Says:
January 7, 2014 at 4:23 PMI dunno. I've talked to some retailers I really respect, who hate stand-alone OGNs and feel they do much, much worse than trade collections or indeed any sort of graphic novel where the work was previously serialised. There is a strong argument for readers to be able to try an issue of the book first, before plomping down $20 on it. I also know from personal experience, new readers are MUCH more willing to spend $3 on Grindhouse #1 to try out my work, than they are $30 on Smoke/Ashes… even if they are buying Grindhouse #1 as a part of 10 "floppies" (total price $30-40) of which they'll hate/not buy again 8 of them.
- Johanna Says:
January 7, 2014 at 7:20 PMOne retailer who was recently vocal about that position (Brian Hibbs) was clear that he wanted serialized product he could sell, to keep customers coming regularly into his stores, though. This takes the first phase to another market, one where they're excluded.
I wish I knew why Oni's webcomic plans completely disappeared. I think that would have been a great choice.
- Richard J. Marcej Says:
January 10, 2014 at 11:00 AMI prefer to buy (and do so) stand alone OGN over serialized comics any day. I've been buying original prose novels for years and years without needing the chapters fed to me, serialized, why should graphic novels be any different?

Selling is like dating
Five ways to tell if customers are leading you on
Liz WendlingOn a recent trip back from New Jersey, I had a sales conversation with two men in the airport, and one of them boldly stated that sales are no different than dating. His remark reminded of a movie from a few years back titled "He's Just Not That Into You," and I began to see the parallels between dating and sales.
Sales, like dating, takes insight, skill and discretion to know when your customer is truly interested. Your potential customers may play some of the same games that are present in the dating world. Will they agree to a second meeting? Will they return your calls? Will they tell you the truth? Will they be honest about their selection process? Will they agree to take the next step? Will they play hard to get? Will they lead you on? Will they work with you until someone better comes along?
Here's a few ways to tell if potential customers are "into" you or leading you on:
1.They're open to sharing information about themselves and their company. When potential customers are willing to answer questions about their needs, wants, pains and struggles, they're telling you that they have a problem and might need you to fix it. That is a really good sign they are interested in you. If they are unwilling to answer your questions openly and honestly, they may be playing hard to get or just not "into" you.
2. They're willing to engage in conversation and return your calls and emails. If they have respect for you, they will listen to what you have to say and trust that your information is worthy of hearing. When you are successful at this, your potential customers are showing signs they are interested in you. If they are avoiding you, not getting back to you, being vague or not telling you the truth, they are either not interested or leading you on. You might need to dump them.
3. They're willing to go to the next step, set up another appointment and continue the conversation. This is a very clear sign they are interested in you. If this important step is missed you will instantly go to the place that salespeople hate, "voicemail abyss" - the clearest sign of all that they are not interested in you. If they do happen to pick up the phone, you will hear, "I will give you a call sometime," "I am really busy can you get back to me back in a week" or "I am still interested, just not making a decision right now." They're either not interested or can't tell you the truth about what is really going on.
4. They're willing to ask and answer tough questions. If they are open to a dialogue that flushes out their real agenda, reasons for meeting and what their bottom line is, then they might be interested in you. If you ask tough questions that they're not ready or willing to answer and get irritated, they most likely are trying to hide their true intentions or using your for free information. Clearly they only want you for one thing and not interested in you.
5. There are excited to meet you. When you meet them in person, they shake your hand, smile and make eye contact. Body language is an important cue and if potential customers speak to you with their arms folded and answer you with short "yes" and "no" answers, they are just not interested in you. If you get a bad vibe, trust your intuition and politely end the meeting. When your potential customers ask you questions and keep the conversation going chances are they're interested in you and might be open to second meeting.
So, just like dating, your potential customers may lose interest and reject you. They may be shopping around to make your competitor jealous or they may simply change their mind. They may already be committed to someone else. They may already have an alternative solution but don't want you to go away just yet, because they're insecure, so they string you along.
Like dating, the reasons are endless and salespeople need to see the signs and walk away. Stop calling, stop emailing, stop begging for one more meeting and stop acting desperate. Dump them and move on.
When you are creating value, being honest, sharing information and showing respect but your potential customer is unwilling to reciprocate, it's not worth it to spend your time on a relationship that is going nowhere. Remember it's not what you sell, it's how you sell.

Chris Bosh's Wife Snaps Back at Lil Wayne: "Pay No Mind to the Haters"
Photo by SThomas Studios via Smooth Magazine |
Chris Bosh's Wife, AKA Adrienne Williams-Bosh. |
Well, we here at Crossfade, like everyone else living in Heat Nation, know her as Adrienne Williams, a lovely Venezuelan lady who secretly married the (almost) seven-footer in 2011 and then gave birth to a beautiful baby Bosh in 2012.
But... The rest of America knows Mrs. Chris only as that booty Lil Wayne allegedly popped after disdainfully humping his way through the whole Heat locker room.
As the Young Money maniac blurted at Sunday's Beats by Dre's NBA All-Star Game finale party: "Fuck LeBron! Fuck She-Wade!... And, and, and, I fucked Chris Bosh wife!"
Last night, though, Adrienne snapped back at Lil Wayne and his "fuck" claims via Twitter.
UPDATE Weezy isn't banned from basketball. The NBA says it's "not true" that the Miami Heat got him blacklisted.
UPDATE #2 Lil Wayne has finally publicly discussed his war with the Miami Heat and he says: "I don't apologize."

Biggerstaff Family

Biggerstaff Family Fan fiction Article
The Biggerstaffs Chapter 1 The Beginning
There once was small village full of people. These people were suspicous and only wanted to be completely normal. The town was surrounded by forest but nobody went in. Why? Because stange things tended to happen there. Once there was a man who got curious about what was going on, he went in. He did not come out. This lead people to think of witchcraft and black magic. The town full of people very quickly became less and less untill there was hardly a soul there.
Meanwhile, 3 ladies named Matty, Cissy, and Emmy Biggerstaff were in the forest planning what they would do next. These ladies were special. They had wands and could cast spells if they raised one eyebrow. "What do we do now?" Asked Emmy. "Well, thats an easy one. We build a house of course" Answered Cissy. "How?" Asked Matty grumpily. "With magic of course" Emmy replied for it was common sense. None of them had a special talent with building. "Oh yeah, I fogot about that". So with thats they raised their wands and in a few hours a gigantic house was in the valley looking as elegant as ever. The house was 12 stories high with scarlet wood on the outside. The windows were huge and open with black and white lining and the front doors were huge with black lining also. There were black pointed fences around the house and in the front the small fence led up to a gate 2 stories high. The house and the gates itself towered above the witches. Later Matty decided to go into town and find special people that could perform magic too. A young man no older than 21, was staring at a pair of shoes on display through a window. His brown eyes looked at it pleadingly and his black hair barely moved as he stared at it. Then suddenly, the shoes lifted into thin air, Nobody was holding it it was just floating. As the young man backed up in surprise, the shoes fell abruptly in a twisted position. As Matty approached the man began to look very frightened. Matty learned the man's name was Gred Jay and he had no idea how that had happened. As Matty broke the truth to her, Gred's eyes began to clear from the cloudy surface it once was. Matty told her about the house and Greda agreed to help and live with them. "There is a man I suspect to be a wizard" Gred told her "His name is Marion". They approached a little cottage and knocked politely. A young man answered the door "Yes? Oh hello, Gred. Do come in". They walked in and talked with him. He too agreed to go with them. As the Matty and the 2 new members approached the house, they noticed Cissy had a 14 year old girl next to her. "Hi, I'm Zoe" The girl said sweetly with a smile "I've been told I can use magic too". In a years time, the Biggerstaff family had grown to many, many people and there were still rooms left over. The family was going strong but for how much longer? |

Nurses House is a nurse-managed, non-profit organization dedicated to helping registered nurses in need. Our history begins in 1922, when Nurses House began to offer nurses a place to rest and recuperate at a Long Island, NY beachfront mansion, donated by Emily Bourne. As times and needs changed, the property was eventually sold and Nurses House became a national service program. Click here to read more about our history and see memorable photographs of the original Nurses House.
Today, Nurses House is run by a volunteer board of directors and an executive director. Our mission is to provide short-term financial assistance to nurses in need as a result of illness, injury, or disability. And while it is often difficult for nurses to ask for help in their hour of need, they who live their lives giving "little unremembered acts of kindness and love" deserve extra special care. At Nurses House, we remember… and we're here to help.
The nurses we serve are still known as guests, and are a very diverse group, ranging in age from their 20s to 80s. Diagnoses also vary from cancer and depression, to spinal fusion and multiple sclerosis. While some Nurses House guests face short term illness or injury, others are permanently disabled. Many nurses need funds to help pay for such basics as food, a car payment, or health insurance. Some face imminent eviction. Click here to read stories about some of the nurses who have received assistance.
Nurses House has helped thousands of nurses in all 50 states to regain health and productivity. Over the past three years, we've helped nearly 300 nurses, with grants totaling over $350,000. That's an admirable record, but the truth is, we can't keep pace with the ever-increasing demand. In fact, with current levels of charitable giving, we can only assist about half of those seeking our help. While many nurses face truly dire circumstances, there are simply not enough funds in reserve to help them all.
NURSES HOUSE 3rd ANNUAL "DOLPHINS FOR NURSES" CAMPAIGN - NURSES WEEK 2014
From April 12 -May 12, 2014 staff at major hospitals throughout the country once again had gold and blue dolphins available for a donation of $5 or $1. Through this campaign alone, Nurses House raised over $27,000 this year to assist our colleagues in need.
This is great project for any Nurses Week committee or nursing group looking for a unique way to celebrate Nurses Week. For more information on how your group can participate for Nurses Week 2015, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or (518)456-7858 x27.

Beautiful capture. We had our wedding in this very spot 3 years ago. Have my eye on this for our home.
I had to take a break from promoting last night when I realized most of the pictures are from the North West haha I got too excited. It's a beautiful place and you capture it so well!
Really interesting framing on this--that along with the burnout on the left transforms it from a landscape into something more intense. I like it!
This shot looks great on a shirt! I've included it in my Collection 'Photo Fashion': http://society6.com/mikeoncley/collec...to-fashion

Your mom likes a gimmick and I'm here to provide her with one. Not just any gimmick, but a triply nested gimmick: 333 top-3 lists. See, they're top 3 lists, and the number 333 is represented (in base 10) as 3 occurrences of the digit 3. (That the gimmick is thus triply nested might be considered a fourth occurrence of the number 3, but we must be careful with this line of reasoning since the gimmick then becomes quadruply nested leading to an unsettling paradox.)
It seems my fan blog is back in business. We'll see if he can keep up.
Top 3 Albums I First Listened to in 2010
3. La Roux (2009)
Allison picked this one out as something I'd like after she heard someone playing it at school. It's kitschy synthpop with a female lead singer, which is right up my alley, but on the first listen I actually wasn't so sure. La Roux has a much fuller sound than Freezepop, who are one of my favorite synthpop groups, but they're also much more obviously intentionally 80's-sounding (a turn-off).
Ultimately though, I was won over by the excellent hooks and the bravado and voice of singer Elly Jackson. Now it's one of my absolute favorite synthpop albums, and my third favorite album I first listened to in 2010.
2. Lateef & Z-Trip: Ahead of the Curve (2007)
I don't know how I missed Lateef the Truthspeaker for so long. I'm a casual fan of many of his associated acts (DJ Shadow, Gift of Gab, Jurassic 5), and he's one-third of an album called "Droppin' Science Fiction" released on the same label as Aesop Rock (Definitive Jux). If that didn't catch my attention, I don't know what would.
Anyway, this is ostensibly a mix album of older work though much of it is actually new. It's also really, really good. I like a full and catchy production and Z-Trip provides it--the drums are heavy and there are some amazing transitions, especially between tracks 7 and 8. There's almost a rock feel to many of the tracks. All of this is kept from feeling like a Linkin Park album by Lateef's unique soul-infused style--sometimes rapping, sometimes singing, often in between.
Also awesome is Maroons: Ambush, also featuring Lateef.
1. Marina and the Diamonds: The Family Jewels (2010)
Maybe it's just a guilty pleasure that I haven't yet recognized as such, but I truly think this is one of the best pop albums ever. It's kitschy and quirky and strong and fantastic. Despite the name, Marina and the Diamonds is a one-woman show, written and performed by Marina Diamandis. Although the rest is good, it's the vocals that truly make the album. Marina's got an eccentric oomph that I find utterly enthralling.
The style of the album ranges all over the place but the sound is almost always bold and interesting. The album is also tied together thematically, focusing mostly on commercial success--the sacrifices required to achieve it and the social impact of its glorification. It's a theme that has the potential to be trite coming from an aspiring pop star, but Marina pulls it off.
Rarely have I anticipated an album as much as Marina's next.
So there you have it. Number 1 of 333 down. I will almost certainly be more terse in the future. Feel free to unsubscribe when I resort to ranking my top-3 players on every MLB team.

There are now strong rumours out there that the Samaikyandhra JAC (an anti-T body) is mulling a move to stop screenings of Ram Charan's Yevadu (apparently made with a budget of Rs 50 crore) and Pawan Kalyan's Attarintiki Daaredi (made with a budget of Rs 55 crore), unless family chieftain Chiranjeevi resigns from his MP post and joins the agitations against the planned bifurcation of the state.
While there has been no official statement from the JAC yet, a pall of gloom has descended upon the makers of the two films, especially because over a Rs 100 crore are at stake. A source close to producer B.V.S.N. Prasad, who is producing Attarintiki Daaredi, said, "Prasad had already paid a price when T-strikes hit his Aarya 2. And now, it's the Samaikyandhra JAC. We hope the government helps." But B.V.S.N. Prasad himself is a little reluctant.
"I don't want to get into what has happened before. But we are very upset with this news of halting my film's release. The good thing is that we are yet to receive any official word from the JAC. Since we have put in a lot of money and effort into this project, we sincerely request people from all regions to maintain restrain and allow us to do business. It seems, Tollywood has become a soft target and we seem to be sitting ducks. We are contemplating necessary steps to have a smoother release in both regions on the same date. As of now, release dates stay."
But a student leader from the Samaikyandhra JAC continued to rage against the films. "We may not halt Pawan's film but we're very keen on stopping the release of Ram Charan's Yevadu unless Chiru takes a stand in favour of a united AP." Others, however, have asked for politics and movies to be kept separate.
Dil Raju, producer of Yevadu, said: "It's not fair to halt Ram Charan's film just because his father is a politician. Besides Charan, there are hundreds who have worked hard on the film. We request everyone, and the media, to maintain calm and not to react in the spur of the moment. Please don't mix movies and politics. Industry producers are now united and we're going to meet on Monday. We are also planning to approach the government and the police to provide security for our films."
There's however a bit of sense, showing through.
Samaikhyandhra JAC convener, Professor Samuel revealed, "A few youngsters from the student JAC, who 'lost their cool', have raised these demands of movie bans. The main body is yet to make an official statement. We are trying our very best to not drag Tollywood and its movies into this agitation. However, there is no final word yet. We are, as of now, only demanding Chiru's resignation and there is no going back on that point."

Sandy Brings Economic Booms, Busts To Northeast
By MICHAEL MELIA
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) â¿¿ On a storm-battered stretch of Connecticut's shoreline, landscaping crews use heavy equipment to repair damage from Superstorm Sandy, racking up overtime pay at a time of year when many are typically looking for part-time jobs to carry them through the winter.
Just down the same road in Fairfield, business is more subdued at the Beachside restaurant. Flooding forced owner John Taxiltaridis to close for three weeks. A sign outside says "OPEN" in black spray paint, and he has gotten a boost selling sandwiches to construction workers, but many of his local customers have yet to return home.
"I just had twins. It came at the wrong time," said Taxiltaridis, who is trying to look forward to next year. "Summer will be here before you know it."
The national economy is expected to absorb the blow from Sandy with little long-term damage, but in the short term, at least, Sandy is introducing dramatic booms and busts across the Northeast. The effects vary widely across industries, bringing banner years for some while pushing others toward economic ruin. The storm, which so far has been blamed for about $62 billion in damage and other losses in the U.S., has driven spikes in demand for construction work, industrial cleaning, hotel rooms, cars and, for those with inventory to sell, even Christmas trees. By disrupting life in one of the country's most densely populated areas, the storm caused a crash in consumer demand. The U.S. government estimates the storm cut wages and salaries by $18.2 billion at an annual rate. Sectors across the board felt the pinch, but the hardest hit included retailers, gas stations and casinos. One worker on the winning side of the equation, landscaper Jesus Torres of Bridgeport, Conn., said the extra work means a financial cushion for his three children going into the holidays. He expected to be looking for part-time restaurant work by now, but instead he was repairing a storm-damaged stone wall in Fairfield on a mild December day.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

French Mayor Introduces Rules On Politeness
In the small town near Paris, anyone who fails to say hello or thank you to staff at the town hall will be asked to leave. A recent poll did find that 60 percent of French people list bad manners as their No. 1 cause of stress.

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Next time you're in France be sure to mind your manners. The mayor of a small town near Paris has introduced new rules on politeness. Anyone who fails to say hello or thank you to staff at the town hall will be asked to leave. A recent poll did find that 60 percent of French list bad manners as their number one cause of stress, so maybe he's on to something. Well, excusez-moi and hello and thank you so much for listening to MORNING EDITION.

Mervyn King
From The Free Forex Encyclopedia
Mervyn King is the Governor of the Bank of England. |
A former professor at London School of Economics, Harvard educated Mr. King is perhaps the most successful member of the current group of central bankers. Implementing what many analysts view as the "Goldilocks" monetary policy that is neither too restrictive nor too accommodative, he deftly increased interest rates to defuse the potentially dangerous speculative bubble in UK real estate and then just as quickly ceased the rate hikes preserving the country's longest streak of uninterrupted growth in 200 years. Although some market observers dubbed Mr. King an "academically intimidating governor" who stifles debate within the BOE, his communication with the press has been remarkably even-handed presenting both the pros and cons of establishing a more restrictive monetary policy within the current context of UK economic growth. As someone who has repeatedly emphasized the need to take a long term view in formulating policy decisions, Mr. King is likely to assess a large body of data before implementing new policy direction.

Infos for applicants
Our school offers scholarships for PhD projects in Functional Materials Science which are carried out in co-supervision between universities from two different countries (see list of partners). In most projects an industry partner is also involved. The PhD candidates must spend at least 6 months in each university. The projects start around October and take 3-4 years. For more details see under 'Key Elements of PhD's'.
The European Union finances each year a number of ERASMSUS MUNDUS (EM) scholarships in our school, and there are two categories of scholarships:
- EM Category A: (5+1 [1] scholarships in 2012) Candidates from countries outside of the "EU+", who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years inside the "EU+". EXCEPTION: Third country candidates who have received an ERASMSUS MUNDUS masters scholarship.
- EM Category B: (3 scholarships in 2012) Everybody else (most "EU [2]+" based students). For Category B candidates, the two countries of PhD work must be different from the country in which the doctoral candidate has obtained his/her last university degree.
- LF: In addition our school offers PhD scholarships funded by other sources (industry, universities, governments, etc, projects labelled 'LF'). For these scholarships there are no general limitations on nationality or residence.
The general condition for all categories is that the applicant has, or will have at the start of his/her PhD, a Master or equivalent university degree in Materials Science or a related field. (therefore students in the final year of their Master/Diploma course are eligible, but they must provide proof of enrolment in their application) You will also need sufficient knowledge of English language.
The application and selection procedure is handled online via this website. In order to apply, you must first of all register, using the 'Register' option under the LOGIN menu (bottom left). If there is no Register link, the registration is closed.
The new call is now open, application deadline will be 10. February 2014.
Once registered, you will receive an email with a confirmation link which you must open to activate your login. You will then be able to login and file your application. Note that you can login several times to complete your application, as long as you respect the deadline.
You application consists of an online application form, and several documents which you must submit as pdf files by uploading to the website: CV, Motivation letter, Master Diploma or proof of enrolment, two reference letters, and eventually proof of English skills. You must press the SUBMIT button in order to validate your application.
You will find more detailed instructions once logged in. A FAQ page and a helpdesk are also available for registered users.
[1] ("+1" means: one scholarship is reserved for Western Balkan Countries and Turkey)
[2] ("EU+" means 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein)

Netflix's next foray into scripted programming shows a promising start. After the critical success of House of Cards, their next show Hemlock Grove just revealed a new clip of how they handle the werewolf transformation and frankly, it's terrifying. The eyes pop out, the skin rips away, the teeth fall out and you're left with a werewolf with canines, yellow pupils that pierce the soul, and a thick coat of fur that seems like regular weapons can't pierce. Don't take my word for it, watch the incredibly terrifying clip below.
Watch the Hemlock Grove teaser clip:
A teenage girl is brutally murdered, sparking a hunt for her killer. But in a town where everyone hides a secret, will they find the monster among them?
With Eli Roth involved, you know it's got the horror pedigree. And with stars ranging from Famke Jansson and Bill Skarsgard, you know this production has some serious talent behind it. House of Cards set the bar pretty high, let's hope that Hemlock Grove can match , if not exceed it.
Hemlock Grove premieres on Netflix on April 19.

Not satisfied with run-of-the-mill Tilt-A-Whirls and flume rides based around some familiar pop-cultural trope (movies, Lego, enormous mice), some pioneering playgrounds are stepping further into the realm of the bizarre, bringing you animatronic resurrections, farting roller coasters, Stalinist petting zoos, and sombrero towers. These offbeat theme parks make you strap on gas masks, escape crocodiles, and operate vibrators. Mickey, I don't think we're in Orlando anymore.
