3 Rules for banking in the stock market
Many people want to "beat the market" and that means simply making a little more money than other people do, especially considering most traders lose money and most investors fail to beat the major market indices. But I'm not satisfied with "just making a little money" or teaching you to be mediocre like that, I got rich using the rules below and now I also have created...

Street Talk: Handouts may hurt
Her eyes lacked any sense of joy, her gait was slow and barely more than a shuffle as she moved along near the Market-Frankford El station at Second and Market.

Geek Girl in Hollywood: We need more girls in STEM roles
There are a lot of reasons we see fewer girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) careers.

Hawthorn Bancshares Completes Exit Of TARP With Repurchase Of Warrant
The Board of Directors of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWBK) announced today the repurchase of the warrant issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in 2008 as part of the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program's (TARP) Capital Purchase Program. The repurchase price was $540,000 and the warrant provided the Treasury with the right to purchase 287,134 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $15.81 per share. As a result of the repurchase, Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. has completely exited the TARP program and the Treasury has no remaining investment in the Company.
In commenting on the repurchase, Chairman, CEO & President David T. Turner said, "We are pleased to have the transaction complete. Our ability to repay the TARP preferred stock and warrant with internal sources reflects our financial strength and repurchasing the warrant eliminates potential future shareholder dilution that could have resulted from exercise of the warrant."

What Will You Do When the Fed's Easing Ends?
When does this positive feedback loop end? When market participants are punished for buying the dip. Plainly, this occurs when the market does not run straight up to new highs but instead fails at a lower high, followed by a sharp move down to a lower low.
Most are assuming this will not occur until after October because this is the pattern we observed following the end of QE1 in 2010 and QE2 in 2011. In those years, shortly after the QE programs ended, a deep correction ensued: a drop of 17% in 2010 and another drop of 21% in 2011.
Will it be as simple this year? I highly doubt it. As game theory dictates, some market participants will inevitably cheat, seeking to get ahead of any selling that could follow the end of QE. We may already be seeing this as the broad market indices have struggled thus far in 2014 and widely held hedge fund positions have fared much worse.
The "smart money" is likely already selling. While the selling may not reach the levels of 2010 and 2011, at the very least market participants should be prepared for higher volatility in the coming months. Our ATAC models used for managing mutual funds and separate accounts are currently reflecting this view and are defensively positioned. Whether you believe in the concept of a "Fed put" or not, the prospect of an end of QE and possibly higher rates in 2015 is likely to change the psychology of the market. And as we all know, in the short-run the market trades primarily on psychology. Buckle up, it's about to get interesting.

Not all bikers to that. ISubmitted by Guest2020 on Fri, 08/03/2012 - 6:30pm.
Not all bikers to that. I drive up and down Highway 17 in Brunswick County a lot and encounter a lot of bikes on the road and the bikers don't drive any worse then the others on the road. My family and I spend a lot of time in Myrtle Beach including biker week every May and find that those bikers drive like they are supposed to. Just because a few people in a group act out of the norm, doesn't mean that you should use a blanket statement to cover them all. I don't see any harm in being a little more cautious around bikers than you would be around other vehicles. Like they teach in driving school you cause a lot more damage to a person when you hit a motorcycle than you do when you hit another car. »

Ko Bulon Lae
Travel Guide
Kicking a football in the sea breeze, school kids laugh on their beachside field. Local sea gypsies smile at backpackers and families who lounge outside their simple bungalows. Flowers and butterflies abound. Away from the over-development and other problems found on more popular Thai islands, Ko Bulon Lae quietly preserves its rural tranquility.
If that sounds wonderful, well, it truly is. But it takes a special sort of person to appreciate this one-of-a-kind island in the Andaman Sea. Only one resort has 24-hour power, with the rest running generators only in the evenings and often for just a few hours. Most accommodation is very basic, WiFi is limited and nightlife consists of a few beers around the smoke of a mosquito coil.
Most travellers are unaware of tiny Bulon's existence, bypassing it for the far busier beaches of nearby Ko Lipe. Those who do discover it often return year after year, settling in longer each time while feeling at home in their own "secret" paradise. This is an increasingly rare island where you can get away with spending only around 500 baht a day, making it a favourite of budget travellers.
While Bulon is the perfect place for some alone time, it's also a great option for families looking to skip the party crowds without spending loads of cash. For couples who enjoy wandering from bay to bay by day and listening to the sound of cicadas and toads while tucked under a mosquito net at night, this is about as romantic of an island as you'll find.
Many other rural, less-travelled islands with villages have lacklustre beaches, but Bulon boasts one lovely stretch of off-white sand along with a few smaller bays that will soothe you to the bone. The aquamarine water is clear and you'll even find some decent snorkelling sites. Sunrises over Ko Tarutao and the many karst islets look as breathtaking from here as from any five-star resort on Lipe.
The fact that speedboats now provide easy access to Bulon from the mainland and several other islands during high season hasn't seemed to change the place at all. No new resorts had appeared during our most recent visit, and development has been modest at those that have been around. Rates at many of the bungalow joints, especially on the north coast, seem to be frozen in time.
Several signs, boards and maps that are now posted around the island provide detailed info on Bulon's cultural and natural background, making it feel like a living museum. This is also one of the cleanest islands with villages that you'll find anywhere in Southeast Asia. The truly charming Chao Lae (literally: Sea People) take pride in their home, and they're happy to share it.
While tourism provides a welcome influx of cash each year from November to April, many of the islanders still subsist on fishing and rubber cultivation. They practice a mix of Islam and an ancient form of spirit worship. It's important to respect them by dressing appropriately -- no skinny-dipping and women should not lounge topless -- and not drinking until you're fall-down drunk. This is definitely not a party island.
Keep an eye out for the monitor lizards, which can grow well over a metre long and slink around at the top of the island's food chain. They're not poisonous, but you wouldn't want to step on one either! Do pack a decent torch along with mosquito repellent -- the mozzies can be vicious after a rain.
More so than most Thai islands, Bulon is a highly seasonal destination. The few resorts fill up from mid December through February, when it's wise to at least call ahead to reserve a bungalow. On the other hand, nearly all resorts close for the May to October rainy season. The islanders happily welcome travellers for half of the year, but they appreciate their own downtime during the other half.
Ko Bulon Lae is a tiny island; it takes only around 15 minutes to walk from one side to the other. There are no ATMs or banks of any kind. WiFi is limited to the pricier resorts, though the 3G signal on our Thai-carrier cell phone was strong. A tiny police bungalow is located near the school, but any serious medical issues will require a boat trip to the mainland. A small minimart is located at Bulone Resort.
Whether coming from Pakbara on the mainland or one of the Andaman Sea islands, all of the public speedboats arrive just off Bulon's main beach, which faces south and then east after bending around a grove of tall casuarina trees and pink beach flowers beside the island's only school.
The view from the main beach looks out over the mainland and the sister island of Ko Bulon Don, home to a small Chao Lae community. Ko Tarutao and Ko Adang are both visible to the south and southwest. The swimming here is great at high tide but rocks and shallows make it difficult in front of Bulone Resort at low tide, when you're better off heading around the corner to the deeper sea that fronts the schoolyard.
Walking inland past the main beach and through the Pansand or Bulone resorts, or through the school, a sealed brick-and-cement lane lumbers uphill past Marina Resort to Panka Noi Bay, which can be accessed by walking downhill (east) through Viewpoint Resort. Though rocky and with some mangroves, Panka Noi is a pretty spot with views to the trio of limestone formations that make up Ko Sam to the south.
Back on the sealed lane, continue straight north and you'll cut through Chao Le Homestay to Panka Yai Bay, a secluded beach with grainy sand, clear water and piles of "sea treasures" at the far end. Before reaching Panka Yai, you can follow a sign left (west) to Mango Bay (Ao Mamuang) and walk along a dirt path past Jungle Huts and a small rubber grove before reaching a fishing village at the small and isolated bay itself.
Apart from a couple of coastal caves, the entire western half of the island is blanketed in jungle that locals believe to be inhabited by spirits. The same info board that warns of snakes also claims that "Sometimes strange voices can be heard and no one really knows whose those voices are". Rather than try to blaze a trail through there, you might spend a few hours circling the island in a kayak.

A GABAergic inhibitory microcircuit controlling cholinergic outflow to the airways.
Deparment of Physiology and Biophysics, Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, DC 20059, USA.
Journal of Applied Physiology (Impact Factor: 3.43). 02/2004; 96(1):260-70. DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00523.2003 Source: PubMed

ABSTRACT: To investigate how prefrontal cortices impinge on medial temporal cortices we labeled pathways from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and posterior orbitofrontal cortex (pOFC) in rhesus monkeys to compare their relationship with excitatory and inhibitory systems in rhinal cortices. The ACC pathway terminated mostly in areas 28 and 35 with a high proportion of large terminals, whereas the pOFC pathway terminated mostly through small terminals in area 36 and sparsely in areas 28 and 35. Both pathways terminated in all layers. Simultaneous labeling of pathways and distinct neurochemical classes of inhibitory neurons, followed by analyses of appositions of presynaptic and postsynaptic fluorescent signal, or synapses, showed overall predominant association with spines of putative excitatory neurons, but also significant interactions with presumed inhibitory neurons labeled for calretinin, calbindin or parvalbumin. In the upper layers of areas 28 and 35 the ACC pathway was associated with dendrites of neurons labeled with calretinin, which are thought to disinhibit neighboring excitatory neurons, suggesting facilitated hippocampal access. In contrast, in area 36 pOFC axons were associated with dendrites of calbindin neurons, which are poised to reduce noise and enhance signal. In the deep layers, both pathways innervated mostly dendrites of parvalbumin neurons, which strongly inhibit neighboring excitatory neurons, suggesting gating of hippocampal output to other cortices. These findings suggest that the ACC, associated with attention and context, and the pOFC, associated with emotional valuation, have distinct contributions to memory in rhinal cortices, in processes that are disrupted in psychiatric diseases.

ABSTRACT: Behavioral and functional studies in humans suggest that attention plays a key role in activating the primary olfactory cortex through an unknown circuit mechanism. We report that a novel pathway from the anterior cingulate cortex, an area which has a key role in attention, projects directly to the primary olfactory cortex in rhesus monkeys, innervating mostly the anterior olfactory nucleus. Axons from the anterior cingulate cortex formed synapses mostly with spines of putative excitatory pyramidal neurons and with a small proportion of a neurochemical class of inhibitory neurons that are thought to have disinhibitory effect on excitatory neurons. This novel pathway from the anterior cingulate is poised to exert a powerful excitatory effect on the anterior olfactory nucleus, which is a critical hub for odorant processing via extensive bilateral connections with primary olfactory cortices and the olfactory bulb. Acting on the anterior olfactory nucleus, the anterior cingulate may activate the entire primary olfactory cortex to mediate the process of rapid attention to olfactory stimuli.Brain Structure and Function 06/2013; 219(5). · 7.84 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Stimulation of cardiopulmonary receptors with phenylbiguanide (PBG) elicits depressor cardiovascular reflex responses, including decreases in blood pressure and heart rate mediated in part by the brain stem parasympathetic cardiac neurons in the nucleus ambiguus (NAmb). The present study examined NAmb neurotransmitter mechanisms underlying the influence of electroacupuncture (EA) on the PBG-induced hypotension and bradycardia. We hypothesized that somatic stimulation during EA modulates PBG responses through opioid and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) modulation in the NAmb. Anesthetized and ventilated cats were studied during repeated stimulation with PBG or cardiac vagal afferents while low-frequency EA (2 Hz) was applied at P5-6 acupoints overlying the median nerve for 30 min and NAmb neuronal activity, heart rate, and blood pressure were recorded. Microinjection of kainic acid into the NAmb attenuated the PBG-induced bradycardia from -60 ± 11 to -36 ± 11 beats/min. Likewise, EA reduced the PBG-induced depressor and bradycardia reflex by 52 and 61%, respectively. Cardiac vagal afferent evoked preganglionic cellular activity in the NAmb was reduced by EA for about 60 min. Blockade of opioid or GABA(A) receptors using naloxone and gabazine reversed the EA-related modulation of the evoked cardiac vagal activity by 73 and 53%, respectively. Similarly, naloxone and gabazine reversed EA modulation of the negative chronotropic responses from -11 ± 5 to -23 ± 6 and -13 ± 4 to -24 ± 3 beats/min, respectively. Thus EA at P5-6 decreases PBG evoked hypotension and bradycardia as well as the NAmb PBG-sensitive preganglionic cardiac vagal outflow through opioid and GABA neurotransmitter systems.AJP Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology 12/2011; 302(7):R833-44. · 3.28 Impact Factor

I worked at Inovalon as a contractor (more than 5 years)
flexible work schedule for RNs that don't want to work 12 + hour hospital shifts
Not steady, can't depend on weekly paycheck
Try to keep work steady, too many unknowns with work time.
3 people found this helpful
I have been working at Inovalon full-time (more than a year)
ProsWe nurses, especially RNs are paid well. The Coders aren't paid as well but I've heard the company is doing a compensation study to hopefully get them up to their market value.
ConsSome of the Leads, who are supposed to be seasoned professionals who are experts in their particular project are severely lacking.Most of the Leads are absolutely fantastic, but some struggle.
An example I heard about took place when Sandy hit. The company was open, but no one was to be penalized if they called out because, well, it was hurricane! One employee's Lead decided to write them up because when they called in, they did not specify that the reason they couldn't get into work was due to the hurricane. Now, I don't know the person who was written up very well but I have heard about this from several very solid employees and believe it.
IMO, this person should be disciplined for....I dunno, can someone be written up for being an idiot?Advice to ManagementAdviceTry to keep the lower levels of management all on the same page so "out there" Leads can't cause damage to people

Press-In Crust
This crust requires no rolling; just blend the dough, and press it into the pan. Chill and bake the crust, then fill it with creamy lemon curd for a delicious tart.
Source: Everyday Food, January/February 2005
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for fingers and measuring cup
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Pulse flour, butter, sugar, and salt only until moist crumbs form.
Transfer dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom; with floured fingers, press evenly into bottom and up side of pan.
With a floured dry-measuring cup, press edge of dough firmly against side of pan, pushing down with opposite thumb to level top of crust flush with rim.
Freeze until firm, 10 to 15 minutes; prick all over with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees.until golden, pressing with a spoon if it puffs up, 25 to 30 minutes; cool completely. Use crust for lemon-curd tart, if desired.

The North Platte St. Pat's and Sutherland girls' basketball teams will meet in the subdistrict championship game on Thursday after both teams won their semifinal games on Tuesday night.
The D1-11 finals between St. Pat's and Sutherland will be played in Gothenburg at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
St. Pat's is rated third in the state and Sutherland seventh by the Nebraska School Activities Association.
In the subdistrict tournament Tuesday, No. 1-seed St. Pat's Lady Irish (20-3) defeated Maxwell 59-44 to move into the finals. Maxwell ends its season at .500 with a record of 11-11.
In the match between the second and third seeds, No. 2 seed Sutherland (18-5) was victorious over Brady 57-50. Brady's season ends at 19-3. They were ranked 14th in the state by the NSAA.
The Irish have won both previous matchups with the Sailors. St. Pat's came out ahead, 34-30, in a regular season game in December and handed the Sailors a 45-31 loss in January in the South Platte Valley Assocation tournament.
St. Pat's also has earned some insurance. In case of a loss in either the subdistrict or district finals, the Lady Irish are ranked high enough that they might qualify for a wild card berth in the state tournament.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is in stores tomorrow, and Treyarch is letting fans know what sort of behavior won't be tolerated online. The developer posted the game's official rules of online conduct on its forums and -- surprise, surprise! -- you're going to get in trouble if you act like an asshat online.
Not only are the rules basically identical to what we've seen in previous Call of Duty games, they're also pretty much common sense to anyone who is capable of measuring such things. Don't be nasty to people, don't try to break the game for the purposes of cheating, don't use modded devices, and don't pirate the software.
The lone newcomer to the rules and regulations prohibits "offensive live streams or unauthorized live stream content," since live streaming is a feature of the new game. Again though, nothing unexpected.

Pallant Family | London, Ontario Family Photographer
Fun at the Civic Gardens!
Gosh, it's crazy to think this session happened back in the spring already. How time has flown!
I had the opportunity to hang out with this lovely family on a bright, sunny evening at the Civic Gardens. The kids (who are all cousins!) had a fabulous time running around and being…well, kids! It kept me on my toes, and I'm sure I broke a sweat by the end of it all. Grandpa was celebrating his birthday, so what better way to celebrate than by doing family photos? It's just so hard to get everyone together these days, and I was happy I was able to help them out when it came to documenting their family in the now. Thanks for a great time, guys! I hope to see you all again soon
There are just too many wonderful things to say about this family. I could honestly write all day. These people are very dear to my heart, and I am so blessed to know them! I was pretty excited to be able to spend an hour with them and capture some of their all-around goofiness on camera. I mean, really, look at them. They are so natural in front of the lens. Here's to many more lovely photo sessions with these folks – cheers Skinner family!
This week on the blog is the Henderson family! I mean, look at these people-they're gorgeous!! Especially the apple of my eye, little toddler Zach. He is honestly, one of the cutest, bright-eyed boys I've ever seen. He was very excited to spend some time at the park with mom and dad and loved pointing out all of the bikers and runners to us. He's just an overall happy guy, and that makes for awesome photos. Thanks again guys for letting me capture your family through photos. I hope we can do it again sometime soon (so I can get my Zach-fix )!!
Baby Austin | London Ontario Family Photographer
A cute session at the park!
This session just exudes CUTENESS! I mean, look at those baby blue eyes! It was so awesome to get to hang out with these two new parents and their fabulous little guy, Austin. He was such a treat, and so easy to work with. He gave laughs and smiles easily, which I was super thankful for. I think we genuinely had a great time, and was happy the weather cooperated with us. Looking forward to seeing you next time little man!

Trucks, Dirt and Little Boys
I have to apologize for not posting on my blog since the spring. The summer was a hectic season for me. Between travel, being a stay-at-home mom and my photography business, any free time I had went into running errands and taking some much needed me-time! But here I am, ready to go on some of the blog posts from the many, gorgeous sessions I had this spring/summer. They might be a little out of date, but really..who cares? I hope you enjoy the photos!
This session was done for my neighbours and their handsome little man, Marshall. Went went to Gibbons Park on a gorgeous, sunny evening when the weather was still quite warm. Between throwing rocks in the Thames, driving his Tonka trucks along the paths, and running up and down the hills, I was exhausted by the time this session was over. Little boys just have so much energy, it's hard to keep up sometimes. Marshall, you are such a sweetie pie. It's not hard to love you!

Editor's note: See also Dave Spaulding's review of the Ruger SR-1911, in this month's Firearms column.
In the past 100 years, technology has transformed the way people live. New and different raw materials, machining techniques and designs have evolved to produce the best iterations of many things used daily in life. These technological advances impact the lives of everyone—including police officers.
Can you imagine "working a beat" in 1911? No police car, radio, body armor, computer... Why is it then that many officers elect to carry a handgun designed in the early 1900s, a pistol designated the Model 1911? After all, we wouldn't think of driving a patrol car manufactured in that era.
There are many answers to the above question. Without getting into the whole .45 vs. 9mm vs. .40 cal. debate, the .45ACP projectile is a century-old proven performer. That said, there are a variety of platforms which propel the .45 out of the gun barrel that are substantially more modern than the 1911.
Why do many law enforcement and civilians prefer a 1911 over a double-action/single-action or DAO (double-action only) design? To a large extent, favoring a particular gun design is similar to favoring a certain vehicle type. Some like large trucks, and some like sleek sports cars. Even within that analogy, some prefer Chevys over Fords, and some prefer Corvettes over Porsches.
Not everyone is enamored with the 1911. In fact, there are many more agencies that don't allow their officers to carry a 1911 design than those who do. Many administrators fear the public's perception of a "cocked and locked" handgun. Those who don't understand the redundant safeties in modern 1911 designs (firing pin plunger or Schrader-style internal safeties, along with the original grip and thumb safeties) also fear the potential of an unintended discharge should the gun fall and hit a hard surface.
My own agency encountered these challenges a few years ago when our range staff proposed allowing officers to carry 1911s. I can tell you that educating the decision-makers—presenting a written proposal for their review and a trip to the range to provide a hands-on demonstration and question-and-answer session—paid off. We were ultimately successful in adopting the 1911 as an authorized platform.
I can also tell you that in the four years or so we have authorized the 1911, we haven't experienced any unintended discharges nor has anyone who carries the 1911 failed to qualify with it.
A few of the often-cited reasons for not authorizing the 1911 platform—aside from the concerns regarding safety and appearance of a cocked gun—include the generally lower magazine capacity and required weapon-specific training.
As for the magazine capacity argument, I have two thoughts. When I first began my law enforcement career we carried a six-shot .357 Magnum revolver with two additional speed-loaders, for a total of 18 rounds. Using the lowest capacity (seven-round magazines), an officer carrying two spare magazines with a fully loaded magazine in the gun and one round in the chamber carries 21 rounds. The reality: Most officers carry eight-round magazines, and though extended, ten-round magazines are available from several reputable manufacturers. Additionally, many who carry a 1911 in a uniform capacity elect to wear a magazine pouch that allows a total of four, eight-round magazines, which, combined with a fully loaded 1911, means the officer actually has well over 40 rounds of .45 ACP!
My other thought is that Para-Ordnance manufactures several double-stack magazine 1911s that allow as many as 14 rounds per magazine—essentially the same as most .40s and even 9mms.
The additional training required is a valid concern. The 1911 is unlike any other design, and it requires more practice to become and remain proficient in its use. But I think this can be a positive: More practice should equate to greater confidence and competence, provided the training is meaningful.
The actual benefits of the 1911 design, aside from the outstanding .45 ACP cartridge itself, include its ergonomic design and reduced trigger finger movement to fire the weapon. The slender frame allowed by the single-stack magazine provides an outstanding master grip on the weapon. The single-action mechanism prevents the need for a transition from a long and heavier trigger pull to a short and easier trigger pull. It's the consistency of a lighter and shorter trigger pull that many find allows them to hit their target with greater accuracy and consistency. Combine the greater consistent accuracy with the reliability compared to other weapons, and you have a viable carry option in the 1911.
Several modern enhancements to this time-proven platform have occurred, but only in relatively recent years. Most significantly, internal safety mechanisms (Series-80 firing-pin plungers and Schrader-style internal safeties) make the 1911 safe to carry with a fully-loaded magazine—round in the chamber, hammer cocked and thumb safety on (commonly referred to as "Condition One"). Another, more recent, refinement is the frame design with a rail, which allows a light to be mounted in front of the trigger guard. Finally, every major law enforcement holster manufacturer makes a variety of holsters to accommodate 1911s with or without weapon-mounted lights.

I know your spirit lingers here Your always with me till the bitter end Just too painful to talk about So I write this poem to inspire Wishing I could see you in the flesh Hopeing for a miracle But I know deep within my heart Your never too far away I'll always keep you with me in my heart That steady burns inside I think of when I was happy And all those dark and dampend clouds Start to fade away In loving faith I'll find comfort And like the birds that fly gracefully in the sky I will always see your image within those ivory clouds Long as I look upon to the ivory clouds I'll always know your never too far away By Brian Otoole

The Landscape of Hollywood Westerns: Ecocriticism in an American Film Genre
Fyne, Robert, Film & History
THE LANDSCAPE OF HOLLYWOOD WESTERNS: ECOCRITICISM IN AN AMERICAN FILM GENRE. Deborah A. Carmichael, editor. The University of Utah Press, 2006. 248 pages; $21.95.
As a popular cinematic genre the Hollywood Western - those rip-roaring, fast-riding, Hell-bentfor-leather photodramas with clear distinctions between good and evil - remain forever embedded in the psyche of countless Americans. Why wouldn't they? As motion pictures, these titles conjure up one vicarious thrill after another. What young boy doesn't dream of jumping on a white horse and, with a lasso twirling in the wind, toss it around the shoulders of a fleeing, black-mustachioed villain, trying to escape with some widow's lifetime savings or maybe a fast draw, on a dusty main street, against a pockmarked desperado, some baddie, who has just pushed aside a local shopkeeper and wants to take over the town?
But what about topography? What role does it play in understanding motion pictures from this period? Does this terrain - sometimes hostile and unfriendly, often bucolic and serene - foster the myth of cowboys, rustlers, and Indians? Does it create a faulty and dreamlike reality of nineteenth-century expansion? In short, how significant is the environment in understanding the reality of America's West? These questions - and many more - are posited in a superb anthology that scrutinizes the importance of nature and countryside in popular feature-length photodramas. Edited by Deborah A. Carmichael, The Landscape of Hollywood Westerns: Ecocriticism in an American Film Genre offers twelve interpretations of environmental themes found in Western screenplays.
For starters, the 1928 silent film, The Wind, evaluates both the novel and photodrama of a social document that, historically, was ahead of its time, while The Grapes of Wrath, the gritty social protest story about the plight of the Okies, contains numerous latent Western motifs, Tulsa, the oil field film, examines industrial expansion, and Pale Rider - a copycat version of Shane - serves as a morality tale. A fourth chapter highlights the Technicolor process in Northwest Passage a breakthrough technology that spotlighted the landscape's natural beauty, while a fifth selection heralds the river-as-teacher theme glorifying the mysticism associated with free-flowing water. …

Why I Love a GLOCK 22
Since 1990, droves of both law enforcement and civilians have carried the GLOCK 22 for duty and personal protection. It remains one of the most common pistols purchased and shares many similarities to its smaller 9mm brothers, the GLOCKs 17 and 19. What makes the GLOCK 22 such a long-term winner? What features made this handgun the quintessential law enforcement sidearm? What advantages does the .40 S&W caliber have over 9mm or .45 ACP?
Long Term Winner
Reliability. Law enforcement firearms need to work every time. Personal protection guns need to work every time. I personally own two 1911s, a variety of Berettas, Tauruses, Kel-Tecs and some other brands I'd rather not admit, but my GLOCK sits within arm's reach most of the time. I currently have no children in the house so I tend to have a gun nearby in rooms where I spend the most time. My kitchen gun is a GLOCK. I've put about 4,000 rounds through that thing and the only malfunctions I recall were caused by an abused magazine I borrowed from my brother. The ammo I was using was shoddy to boot. With a proper magazine and decent ammo, that gun goes bang every time I pull the trigger. That famous GLOCK reliability that helped build their reputation as a trustworthy firearm, no doubt helped their sales numbers.
There are much fancier looking guns out there. GLOCKs are like power tools. They are not exactly beautiful works of art and their design screams ruggedness, reliability and utility. Police departments use them not only because they work, but because they can train anyone to use them. Their safe action trigger works well as a deterrent to accidental discharges. The trigger system works in such a way that you essentially have two triggers in one. Unless you depress the first trigger, the main mechanism won't budge. This makes it easy to use in an emergency since you don't have to fiddle with a thumb safety. The trigger is light enough to produce accurate shots, but heavy enough that you almost can't cycle the weapon by accident. Designers also intended to make sure the gun would not fire when dropped. An internal drop safety prevents any chance of the gun discharging if it falls from your holster. There is also a firing pin safety which disengages when the operator pulls back on the trigger.
The Numbers
GLOCK doesn't have the easiest model number system to remember. A GLOCK 17 is a 9mm, so is a GLOCK 19. A GLOCK 20 is a 10mm while the 21 is a .45 ACP. The 22, 23, and 24, 27 and 35 are all .40 caliber handguns. Sorry about all the crazy numbers, but those model numbers are not that intuitive. In the case of the GLOCK 22, you get a standard 15-round magazine. The less powerful GLOCK 17 in 9mm holds 17 rounds. This means you only sacrifice two rounds while getting a substantial increase in kinetic energy. The exact differences vary greatly depending on the ammunition you are using, but as a rule, a standard non +P 9mm projectile hits with about 380-420 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. The .40 caliber delivers somewhere between 420-500 foot-pounds. For comparison, the huge .45 ACP rings in between 415-620 foot-pounds. This makes the .40 caliber a nice middle ground of magazine capacity and performance. Some argue that it is the best all-around cartridge for duty carry—I'm starting to become a believer.

There are many scam psychics abroad but Sister Susan (on Harford Road) is GOOD. I've been to her twice and she has told me many things that have actually happened. When I got my first reading I thought.....yeah right....that would never happen. Well, they did!!! Not small things either....she predicted my dad's passing within a year and that I would have surgery. THEY HAPPENED!!! Hence the reason I went to her again ... view more
