Fundamental science
Fundamental science is either fundamental physics or basic science. The term fundamental science attributes to a scientific specialty a causal or conceptual priority by either of two, differing distinctions. Within philosophy of science, the many empirical sciences are often posed such that fundamental physics is the foundation underlying all others, which thereby are the special sciences that rest upon and in principle are derivable from, or conversely are reducible to, the objects and laws of the fundamental science.
In science's planning and practice, fundamental science is an infrequent synonym of basic science, also termed pure science, which yields theories and predictions—principally in natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology, yet even in other empirical sciences, too, such as cognitive sciences and behavioral sciences—not the technology and techniques developed in applied science. Using some theories and predictions from basic sciences—a scientific foundation—applied sciences, such as engineering and biomedicine, yield products and services.
Versus special science[edit]
Modeling fundamental interactions, fundamental physics is presumed to underlie all other sciences—such as astrophysics, chemistry, biology, geology, psychology, and economics—categorized as special sciences.[1][2][3] In a conceived unity of the empirical sciences, the special sciences investigate domains whose entities and laws emerge from the domain of the idealized fundamental physics.[4]
Whereas fundamental physics seeks laws of universal regularity, special sciences usually include ceteris paribus laws, predictively accurate to high probability in "normal conditions" or with "all else equal", but having exceptions.[2] Although exceptionless, chemistry's laws were presumably reduced to fundamental physics—to quantum mechanics and then quantum electrodynamics[5][6]—and so chemistry, presumed to emerge, is a special science.[4] Bridging physical sciences to biological sciences via biochemistry, and influencing sciences generally, chemistry has been viewed as the central science.[7][8]
Versus applied science[edit]
Basic science develops and establishes information to predict phenomena and perhaps to understand nature, whereas applied science uses portions of basic science to develop interventions via technology or technique to alter events or outcomes.[9][10] Although applied and basic sciences can interface closely in research and development, applied science is commonly termed engineering, whereas basic science is also termed pure science or sometimes fundamental science.[11][12]
Basic science includes fundamental physics and many special sciences—natural sciences like astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geology, and perhaps cognitive sciences, too, but generally excluding behavioral sciences like psychology and social sciences like economics—and excludes engineering, medical sciences, and epidemiology, for instance, which are applied sciences, set apart from the basic/pure/fundamental science.[10][11][13][14][15][16]
Common, populist errors mistake medicine, technology, and their uses for science.[9][10][16][17][18] They can be grouped: STM (science, technology & medicine); STS (science, technology & society). Yet, though interrelated and influencing each other,[13][14][15][19][20] they have divergent journals, aims, cultures, methods, principles, standards, and knowledge.[10][16][20][21] Although the Nobel Prize committee, since 1901, mixes basic with applied sciences for its annual award in Physiology or Medicine, the globe's longest continuing scientific society, the Royal Society of London, awards while holding natural science—that is, physical sciences and biological sciences—apart from applied science, including medical sciences.[22]

Album of the Week: Stream Vista Chino's 'Peace,' From the Band Formerly Known as Kyuss Lives!
The stoner-rock legends get together for their first music in 18 years
"It's very simple to play Kyuss songs," says Vista Chino frontman John Garcia. "Anybody can do it, but you've got to have character."
From 1991 to 1995, Garcia was the frontman for Kyuss, the band who helped pioneer stoner rock's husky dude-rock vocals and charging post-Sabbath melodies, fogging up the alterna-landscape like a smoking steamroller. Since their breakup, the band's guitarist, Josh Homme, has certainly stayed busy, yet Garcia and drummer Brant Bjork cycled through band after band with a fraction of the spotlight until reforming (with livewire bassist Nick Oliveri) as Kyuss Lives! in 2010
Renamed Vista Chino in 2010, Garcia and Bjork still have that Kyuss character in spades on their debut, Peace, writing bulldozing stoner anthems that live up to the legend of their former band. They released the record under the new moniker after Homme sued them for "trademark infringement and consumer fraud," but the sound is like classic Kyuss never missed a swinging, bluesy beat in 18 years. "We don't like getting speeding tickets, let alone fucking federal lawsuits slapped on us," Garcia says. "There were times when we had to be doing depositions when all we really wanted to do was be in the fucking studio. But names are obviously not important to us. We're going to be making music anyway. And nobody has a fucking right to take our joy away. We're lifers. We're grateful to be here."
Hear this blistering reunion in full below, and read a track-by-track breakdown where Garcia explains what it was like singing through Jim Morrison's microphone. Tour dates below the tunes. Pre-order the album from Amazon here and from iTunes here.
"Good Morning Wasteland"
John Garcia: Kyuss, as well as Vista Chino, will always do instrumentals. "Good Morning Wasteland" is an example of a song that didn't call for lyrics. It just has a very organic feel to it, and that's what Brant Bjork was going for as a producer. That's why we didn't go to a studio in Hollywood or Los Angeles, but instead built a studio from the ground up in Joshua Tree, California.
"Dargona Dragona"
Some people have told me that the vocals on this song sound raw and distorted, and that's because I was singing into Jim Morrison's U87 [microphone]. Our engineer, Harper Hug, is in the process of building Robby Krieger's studio in Los Angeles. So they've become really good friends and were talking about Vista Chino. Robby Krieger told him, "Hey, Jim sang out of this microphone before. What do you think the guys would think of using it?" And of course when you put a U87 in front of me that Jim sang out of, of course I'm going to be a little bit intimidated, but it was also inspiring as well. And I was honored, because I'm a fan.
"Sweet Remain"
For me as a singer, this song is a totally out of my range. It's very, very high for me, but it was super fun to experiment with that range. Singers' voices tend to deteriorate just a little bit as they get older. And mine has, knock on wood, held up, and I really wanted to test the boundary of my vocal ability.
"As You Wish"
I remember around the time we were working on this one, a lot of people were asking me what the record was going to sound like. I honestly didn't know. This is a song where Brant and I learned to trust each other again. We went through a couple of different versions of it until we found one that works.
"Planets 1&2"
"Planets 1" is one of my favorites. Brant Bjork called me one day and said, "Hey dude, would you mind if I sing this song?" And I said, "Absolutely. 100 percent please. Go for it." His vocals bring out another side of this band. And then "Planets 2" is just so minimal; it's the less-is-more thing. It's just six lines. Believe it or not, it's hard to be simple. I love to fill up every single minute of a song, and when you do that, you wind up finger-fucking it, ruining it.
All it takes is the first line to get a story going, and then it just flows. "Adara" was a direct product of that. It's very fun to sing, and, for lack of a better word, it's very, very classic Garcia for me.
"Mas Vino"
That was a live recording one night. Bruno and Brant were in the studio, and they called me up and said, "Come on in and cut some vocals." Listening to them play it, there was a great vibe, but because of where the song sits in the sequence of the record, we decided not to release it with the vocal on it. I think eventually we might release the piece with the vocal as a B-side. Until then, I think like a fine wine, it needs a little bit of time.
"Dark and Lovely"
I can see this becoming a 15-minute jam, where it's a trip. It's a very classic-Kyuss type of tune. If you partake in smoking the herb, that one's going to be one where you light back up. I think a lot of people think this band partakes in that a little bit, when actually, in reality, I can't remember the last time I smoked a bowl or a joint or a bongload. It's been that long. I'm waiting for the right time and the right moment to be able to sit down and do exactly that to this one.
This song is just a perfect example of this band beginning anew. "Barcelonian" is not a song Kyuss would have played. But that's great. What we wanted was exploration, and "Barcelonian" is a direct product of going down a tangent. I don't mean it to be crass to the band, but the music sometimes gets redundant and boring. So exploration is fun.
"Acidize – The Gambling Moose"
I did eight different vocal takes on "Acidize." Because I did eight different versions, it was one of the last songs we recorded. And then "The Gambling Moose" is very classic — not to be talking about myself in the third person — but very classic Garcia. It's a fun song to sing. I love the snare sound when it comes in. It's a fitting ending chapter to this book.

Obama's Minimum Wage Ploy Hurts the Working Poor
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- President Obama put his political fortunes ahead of the least prosperous citizens by badgering Republicans in Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
In 1938, Congress established the federal minimum wage and has periodically raised it to accommodate inflation. Currently at $7.25 per hour, it appears woefully inadequate to fair-minded Americans, and the president feeds this sentiment by carping that it's worth 20% less than when Harry Truman was president.
What Obama doesn't tell voters is the minimum is sometimes paid to teenagers bagging groceries and college students on work-study jobs that are essentially masked financial aid. Moreover, adults earning the lowest wages have sources of income not available in Truman's days -- an earned income tax credit, food stamps and Medicaid. And employers of domestic workers now fund social security pensions and unemployment insurance -- an additional 8% in compensation generally not offered in Truman's time.
Liberal newspapers and cable networks are fond of rolling out single mothers, seemingly following the script of union-supported community activists and organizers, who recount they cannot afford to eat earning so little at McDonald's (MCD). Yet, they hardly ever appear malnourished, and correspondents never get around to asking how they use their food stamps or about child support payments they might receive.
Except for apologists for farmers that don't farm and academics hanging off the left edge of reality, economists don't like price fixing, whether perpetrated by unscrupulous businesses or politicians buying votes. After all, agricultural supports raises the price struggling mothers must pay for milk, clothing and other essentials for their families. The minimum wage makes hiring workers more expensive, eliminates jobs at the bottom of the ladder, and generally slows growth and raises unemployment.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Drinky Talky Thingy Episode #62: Delayed by Snowboards and Doodles
You know, there nearly wasn't an episode of the podcast this week. Unfortunately both Paddy & Gow managed to get themselves completely distracted by games, and with their fish like memories they forgot to publish the episode after they were done recording.
Paddy is currently lost in SSX, while Gow is so addicted to Draw Something that he had to be told to stop playing it several times during recording. I wouldn't mind if he could actually draw things properly – I have had some right shockers from him.
However a recording was done and other than our weekly round up of the death of GAME we managed to find the time to cover a whole pile of gamin news. We looked at the DoubleFine Kickstater campaign, debated the benefits of streaming MMO's & DUST 514, laughed at a game that has a similar name to one we used to work for & debunked the possibility of the next Xbox not having a disk drive.
All that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
The latest episode is available for you to download here and if you find you like it you can get the backlog by subscribing on iTunes or over at http://www.drunken-gamer.com/

I have roughly 40 feet of 3/8 copper coil for sale. I had planned to make a DIY wort chiller, but someone gave me one for free and I certainly don't need two. I'm willing to sell this for $30 shipped anywhere in lower 48. PM for details/interest. ****UPDATE***** Copper has been sold.
PM Sent
Have you ever considered using it as a prechiller?
I'll take it if whoever backs out.
That's probably a good deal, considering copper prices are at an all time high

It looks as if Dylanites headed to the Aug. 21 show in Rochester or any of the other Upper Midwest dates on the Neverending Tour can expect to see a grander kind of Bob Dylan. The 71-year-old musical changeup artist surprised his devotees when he sat at a grand piano during much of his performance at a festival in England last week, and he has continued to roll on the ivories through tour dates this week in Germany, according to the fan site BobLinks.com. He probably hasn't spent this much time seated at a grand piano in public since his Hibbing High School days. He has, of course, been playing keys at shows for much of the past decade, but it was always on standup keyboards, especially an organ.
Among the songs he has been grand-izing have been a lot of The Hits, including "All Along the Watchtower," "Like a Rolling Stone," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Desolation Row," "Highway 61 Revisited," plus the more recent staples "High Water (For Charley Patton)" and "Love Sick." When not seated at the grand at these recent shows, he has mostly been standing around with microphone and harmonica in hand. He has only been playing guitar for a song or two, which may have something to do with Texas music vet Charlie Sexton (of Arc Angels notoriety) – whose early-'00s tenure in Dylan's band was widely considered a high point -- rejoined on guitar a couple years ago alongside Stu Kimball.
Here's a bootleg video of Bob on piano during "Highway 61" at the festival in England.

Austin 3M There Half Marathon
I reckon this is going to be shortest race report in the world. What can I say other than it was cold, windy and miserable? I guess I can also say the all downhill course was awesome – I was very happy with my 2:11:12 time – not exactly where I want to be yet but faster than I've been running in a long while. Austin has some super cool places to eat and drink, the mothership of Whole Foods is amazing, and it was fun hanging out with my sister and friends for the weekend. I need to count to see what number in the half line up this is – somewhere around the 45th I'm guessing. The End. Oh, and I'm signing up for the Space Coast full marathon which is on December 1st.

Lips N Lotion, an Etsy Shop #Review
If there is one thing I enjoy about reviewing products, it is when I get to review products made by people like me – bloggers, stay at home mothers, DIYers. There is just something very unique and intriguing about people that put in so much time and effort to make a wonderful product to share with the rest of the world; this is how I felt when I recently received some products from an Etsy shop to review.
Lips N Lotion, based out of Ohio, is an Etsy shop run by working mother of two, Monica. The shop is filled with lotion bars (that look like soap, but they are lotion) and lip balms made of organic unrefined Shea butter & pure filtered beeswax and various oils. Lips N Lotion allows Monica to spend quality time with her older daughter, who helps her mother sell and design the labels for products. Monica reported that her daughter is the one who came up with a lot of the scents and polled her 5th & 6th grade classmates on which scents of lotions & lip balms they liked best. Monica's 4 year old daughter is also involved in the way of official tester as she puckers up and slathers on the lip balm.
I received two lotion bars in the scents Love Spell and Bamboo Sugar Cane as well as two lip balms in the scents Lemonheads and Dill Pickle.
I was super excited to try out the Dill Pickle flavor because I LOVE pickles and I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to wear such a flavor as lip balm. To my surprise, the dill pickle lip balm smelled and taste just like a dill pickle; it definitely reminds me of sniffing the dill seasoning that I use for cooking! The Lemonheads scent is very fresh and well…lemony! The name reminds me of Lemonheads candy.
Each of the homemade lip balms is made out of Organic Unrefined Shea Butter & Pure Filtered Beeswax as well as a variety of oils such as Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, and Jojoba Oil. The lip balms slide on smooth and hydrate the lips very well. I also found that the flavor/scent sticks around for a good amount of time too – nothing like walking around smelling pickles all day!
The lotion bars come packaged in cute little round black tins and are made of the same Organic Unrefined Shea Butter and Pure Filtered Beeswax and various oils as the lip balms. I really enjoyed the Love Spell scent which is very similar to the scent sold at Victoria's Scent, a favorite scent of mine from when I was younger! The Bamboo Sugar Cane scent reminded me of green tea for some reason, I'm not sure why and it isn't a bad thing but that's just what comes to mind when I sniff it.
The lotion bars are very easy to use and are not like your typical lotions that you squirt out of a bottle; simply rub the bar between your hands and the friction will heat up the bar just enough to get some lotion on your hands to rub around. I like to rub the bar on the back of my hands and on my forearms and then rub it in. These lotion bars are great for cracked skin and make the skin feel very soft. What I really like about them, aside from being homemade & natural, is the scents aren't overpowering at all and the lotion isn't sticky or greasy.
Product Information
Lips N Lotions offers a variety of homemade lotion bars and lip balms in different flavors and scents. Currently, you can purchase 2oz lotion bars in the scents: Love Spell, Bamboo Sugar Cane, Lilac, Purple Cow (grape soda + vanilla ice cream), Vanilla Almond, Dawg Pound (musky men's scent), Moonlight Path (like Bath & Body), Eucalyptus, Apple Rose, Dragon Fly (a mixture of Fall nature), and Monkey Farts (cake & bananas) – retail value of $6.00/bar.
Lip balms are available in Pizza, Dill Pickle, Lemonheads, Lavender Vanilla, Cleveland Browns (sunny delight orange, caramel w/ a hint of nutmeg), Blue Raspberry, French Vanilla, Toasted Marshmallow, Bacon, Popcorn, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Peanut Butter, French Toast – retail value of $3.00/stick.
These products are homemade thus it is important to note that there maybe color and scent variations based on batches. Shipping is available throughout the US, Canada and the world – various shipping charges apply.
If you decide to purchase items from Lips N Lotion, please let her know that Blissful Reviews sent you!
Disclosure: I received the products mentioned above in an exchange for my honest review. No other compensation was provided. All opinions are 100% my own.
Oh my gosh! What cool flavors! I get super tired of the same ol' cherry, vanilla and medicated crap. I just favorite'd her shop because of this review! Great job. =D
I love that these are homemade and come in different flavors and scents. I could imagine how delicious they all smell.
These sound pretty good. I'm not a fan of pickles but that lemonhead one sounds divine. Going to check out her etsy shop and see what else she has to offer.
Oh my gosh… Dill Pickle lip gloss… who would of thought. Snookie would like that, didn't she used to drink Dill Pickle juice? I try to only use organic products but some times it is so hard to find good ones. You are so lucky to be chosen to review these.
The Bamboo Sugar Cane sounds great! It's hard to find real organic things like that. I just bookmarked the store for later shopping
Oh wow I would love to try one of the lip balms I've found organic ones seem to work so much better than others. x
Those products sounds absolutely amazing. I would love to try a lotion bar! The lip balm sounds nice too but I don't think I would get Dill Pickle. My sister would love that though!
What great flavors/scents. I love lotion bars. They are natural and last so much longer than bottled chemical stuff.
Lemonheads is going to have to end up in my daughter's fun box! She loves this.
I would love a lotion bar in a little tin. That would be great for travel and to have in your purse. Sometimes other types of lotion containers can come apart in your luggage or purse. I am going to have order this.
I just love the way the gloss comes – that is so unique. I'm going to favorite this shop on my easy page. I definitely want to become a customer. This is a great review. Love the flavors.
awesome! i love trying new things and i love etsy
Wow, I have never heard of dill pickle lip balm! Sounds like fun. I know kids would really love it. I love shopping at etsy shops.
Dill pickle lip gloss would be a change on my ladies lips. I do prefer my pickles on hamburgers though.

Make-up Exam Request Forms Are Now Available
Make-up exam request forms must be submitted to Student Records by Wednesday, April 20, at 5:00 p.m.
Request forms for make-up exams are now available on the table near Student Life and Student Records. You may also download the form from the Law School website at: http://www.law.louisville.edu/academics/exams. The rule for exam conflicts is below. For more information, consult the Student Handbook.
"A student has an exam conflict and may reschedule an exam if he or she has more than one examination scheduled to begin within 12 hours of one another or if the student has an exam at 6:00 p.m. with another exam the next morning at 9:00 a.m. Three exams in three days do not qualify as a conflict. In the event of an "exam conflict," the student shall take the make-up at the next available make-up session that does not create another conflict. All rescheduled and make-up examinations must be approved by the Associate Dean for Student Life. If a professor and student want to schedule a make-up exam on a day other than the make-up day, they may do so with the approval of the Associate Dean for Student Life only after the Associate Dean for Student Life has determined that there is an exam conflict. In such event, the make-up exam may not be given before the regularly scheduled exam and it must be administered by the faculty member. The Student Records Office will administer make-up exams that are scheduled on the regular make-up days."

Prep Cook Interview
Application DetailsI applied in-person. The process took a day – interviewed at Cracker Barrel in May 2012.
Interview DetailsI'd applied to this company online 3 previous times with no response. I decided to visit the one nearest to me. I walked in and explained to a new manager that I'd applied online previously with no response. She got a senior manager who gave me a paper job application to fill out right there and then. three different and very personable waitresses stopped by the table I was sitting at to tell me how much they enjoyed working there and which shifts I should take according to company needs or to "get noticed." One waitress told me not to work in the kitchen, but on the floor as a server because she easily made 50 dollars an hour as a server. I finished the application and met with the general manager. He said a couple of different shifts were available and had 2 or 3 more interviews to conduct that same afternoon and someone would get back to me either way. That was yesterday, May 14th, 2012. I'm still waiting and hoping.

Prep Cook Interview
Application DetailsI applied in-person. The process took a week – interviewed at Cracker Barrel in June 2011.
Interview DetailsTalked to kitchen supervisor one day for about 10 minutes. He told me to come back a few days later and talk to the General Manager. Talked to her for about 15 minutes. Had to wait a couple more days for my background check to come back. When it did I was offered the job. Management is very nice and upbeat. They also know what they are doing. You go through a training program before you actually start your job. It is pretty thorough, and honestly I have never gone through anything like it for a kitchen position. But you learn a lot in training. You take tests on the computer, there is a lot of reading about the business, what you are expected to do, OSHA MSDS sheets, menu items and how to plate up. I've completed 15 hours of only training so far and I have only worked for three days. And I am not finished with my computer part. Overall though it seems like decent job (since I haven't actually started cooking yet).
Interview Questions- Why do want to work here? View Answer
Negotiation DetailsDepending on what position you apply for, there is a maximum pay rate to start out at. You can get a raise in 30 days. Another raise is available 60 days after that. Another raise is available after 6 months. The economy is poor right now, and this is a better job than most right now that pay $8.50 per hour.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

DPA Microphoneâs d:facto II Vocal Microphone Delivers a Noticeable Difference
Jazz singer Claire Martin OBE says she canât believe the clarity DPAâs d:facto II has given her voice, nor the benefits it has brought to her performance
OSLO, NORWAY, APRIL 12, 2013 â DPA Microphonesâ new d:facto⢠II Vocal Microphone has made internationally acclaimed jazz singer Claire Martin OBE very happy indeed. Since switching to the new microphone, Martin says she has never heard so much clarity in her voice and that the difference is so noticeable even her sound engineers are making positive comments.
âThis is definitely the right microphone for me,â she says. âIt picks up all the colors in my voice and I can hear every breath, which makes it easier to control phrasing. It almost makes singing easier as I can try out vocal ideas and actually hear myself changing the timber of my sound â something I felt was lost with other microphones. It also delivers great sound without my having to be right close to the mic. So, I can definitely play around with lower end notes by coming in a little closer for a bassier response. This works really well in ballads, I feel.â
Martin, who has been singing professionally for over 25 years, has garnered numerous awards and rave reviews for her work, including winning the BBC Jazz Award for Best Vocalist and six British Jazz Awards. She has released a total of sixteen albums, all on the Linn label, and has collaborated with various prominent musicians, including Martin Taylor, John Martyn, Stephane Grappelli, Kenny Barron, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Jim Mullen and Nigel Hitchcock. In addition to her singing career, she is also a co-presenter for Jazz Line Up on BBC Radio 3 which is now in its thirteenth year.
Martinâs decision to try DPAâs d:facto II Vocal Microphone was inspired by a sound engineer who was working with her at the Pizza Express Jazz club in Londonâs Soho.
âThe engineer was raving about the mic and saying how it would suit my voice,â she explains. âOther singers, as well as my record company Linn Records, had often talked about the quality of these microphones, so at last I was able to try one out in an intimate club setting. I was immediately impressed by its lightness and handling.â
The d:facto II Vocal Microphone was supplied by DPAâs UK distributor Sound Network and after that initial try-out, Martin was hooked.
âThe d:facto II captures every nuance of my vocal sound and, once I had worked out the direction handling, it actually made me feel very confident about my diction and tone. I also notice that I donât lose any level when I give my sound more power and pull away from the mic. The sound is still clear, full and more rounded. You can hear the whole breath. As a jazz singer, this is the sound I'm after. This microphone certainly delivers what I want and I definitely feel I'm using the best microphone there is.â
Martinâs d:facto Vocal Microphone is now in use at every one of her concerts. Thanks to its ability to deliver high-quality audio she feels she can cope much better with whatever the PA system throws at her.
âIn jazz clubs some PAs are better than others, and this microphone gives me a fighting chance of getting a great sound,â she says. âI also love how light it is.â
In June 2011, Martin was appointed Office of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to music. She is currently touring with the Montpellier Cello Quartet, a Brighton-based cello group, showcasing new arrangements for voice and cello quartet by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Mark Anthony Turnage and Djano Bates. She plans to return to the recording studio later this year to begin work on her seventeenth album.
DPA Microphones A/S is the leading Danish Professional Audio manufacturer of high quality condenser microphones and microphone solutions for professional applications in studio, broadcast, theatre, video/film and sound reinforcement environments. All DPA microphones and components are manufactured at the companyâs purpose-built factory in Denmark.

New York man found guilty in suicide subway bomb plot
Adis Medunjanin, a Bosnian-born US citizen, faces the prospect of life in prison after being convicted on nine counts.
Elizabeth Williams/AP
New York
A federal jury found a Bosnian-born U.S. citizen guilty on Tuesday of planning a coordinated suicide bomb attack on New York City subways in 2009 at the behest of senior al Qaeda operatives.
Adis Medunjanin, 28, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison following his conviction on all nine charges, including conspiring to carry out a suicide attack on American soil, receiving military training from al Qaeda and plotting to kill U.S. soldiers fighting in Afghanistan.
Medunjanin's accused co-conspirator Najibullah Zazi was arrested in September 2009, just days before Medunjanin and a third member of the plot, Zarein Ahmedzay, were prepared to carry out what U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has called "one of the most serious terrorist threats" to the United States since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Hello all!
New to the forum! I've been lerking around this site for about a week and love it here! I'm new to the CCW world/life style. I will be going for my CHL here in Tx pretty soon and am in the market for an EDC/Home defense gun. My eye has been on a glock 23 gen 4 for the purpose of EDC and home defense. At a local gun shop here (LE glock dealer) the blue label price for a new glock 23 gen 4 is $425 +tax. From looking around this price looks good but like I said I'm new to this and want to make sure I get the gun at a fair price. What do you all think?
I am Military and just moved to texas so I'm not sure what the prices are like around this state. Any info/help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Delta (DAL), United (UAL), and American Airlines (AAL) published details Thursday of the alleged $42B in home state subsidies to Qatar Airways, Emirates Airline, and Etihad Airways, demanding U.S. government officials open talks with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar over the alleged funding, reports the Financial Times, citing a person involved in the campaign. The source stated the U.S. is treating the claims seriously but has not yet chosen a course of action. The three U.S. carriers are also asking the government to freeze new passenger service during any potential talks.

Buckeye Partners reduces FY14 revenue by $40M due to settlement discussions
Buckeye Partners (BPL) announced revisions to its financial results for Q4 and FY14 due to a recent development. As has been previously disclosed, commencing in September 2012, Delta Air Lines (DAL), JetBlue (JBLU), United/Continental Air Lines (UAL), US Airways, and American Airlines (AAL) filed complaints with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission challenging rates for transportation of jet fuel from New Jersey to three New York City area airports charged by Buckeye Pipe Line Company, an operating subsidiary of Buckeye. The Airlines are seeking payments for alleged past excessive charges and prospective tariff rate reductions. As the litigation has progressed, BPLC and the Airlines have continued to pursue settlement discussions. Due to positive developments in those settlement discussions subsequent to Buckeye's issuance of its 2014 earnings on Friday, February 6, Buckeye has recorded a reduction in revenue in the amount of $40M for the year ended December 31, 2014 in accordance with applicable accounting guidance regarding contingencies. This reduction in revenue is a one-time charge; therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow for 2014 remain as reported on February 6th. The $40M is based upon a settlement offer made by BPLC to satisfy the claims for alleged past excessive charges through December 31, 2014, which offer has not been accepted by the Airlines. "While we continue to pursue settlement of this matter, we are not able to predict with certainty the final outcome of the proceeding, should it be carried through to its conclusion, or whether we can reach a satisfactory settlement and, if so, whether or not it will be on more or less favorable terms," the company said.

Rylan had to say to CBS Soaps In Depth about the gig: "She's no NAKED HEIRESS," laughs Rylan. "Rebecca is very chaste and very innocent." In the episode, "Lock And Load," Henry (played by series star Jonathan Sadowski) hopes to make a love connection when he runs into his old friend from summer camp, but Rebecca doesn't exactly jump at the offer. "Let's just say that she doesn't believe in sex before marriage." Sounds like Henry (Jonathan Sadowski) better keep his filthy paws away from Rebecca's silky drawers! Watch Rylan on $#*!

Any of you SIG guys able to comment on this? I overheard this mentioned and had to check it out.
The only thing I don't like about it right off the bat is that I loathe magazine disconnect safeties, but let's face it in ten years we'll all be firing guns with said feature. But that little tidbit aside it is interesting... if it's any good. Or significantly less expensive than a factory certified pre owned SIG.

"Victorian humor"
Frederick Davidson brought Butler's humor and irony to life with his pitch perfect reading of this story. I was running out of time to finish the book for a my reading group when I found this version.
This is not a book I would have chosen for "light" reading but Davidson's delivery really brought the story of the hapless Theobald Pontifex and his hypocritical Victorian parents to life.
"Beguiling and entertaining"
This is a highly entertaining and laugh out loud funny book. I cannot recall the last time that I listened to a book this engrossing and humorous. Dan O'Grady is the perfect narrator for this story. He is the voice of Don now in my imagination. I am telling everyone about this book. It was just pure fun and provided very thought provoking discussions with others who have read it.
Perfectly captured the tone and voice of Don Tillman and the humor of the story.
I will be back to get the audiobook of the sequel, The Rosie Effect. There are some series I can only listen to when the blend of story and narrator are this perfect.
"Radio play"
This is performed more like a radio play than a pure audiobook. Penelope Keith is a perfect Agatha Raisin. Very fun.
"History and mystery"
I am such a fan of this series. Sansom mixes history and mystery in these superb historical thrillers. Revelation is a fascinating glimpse into the religious turmoil that marked Henry VIII's reign. Steven Crossley's narration is so well done. Cannot recommend this series too highly.
"High fantasy"
Tim Curry has the perfect voice for this unusual fantasy. I had tried to read Sabriel several times because so many people told me I would enjoy it. I found the audiobook a great way to finally experience the book.
With out a doubt, this is one of the BEST audiobooks I have every listened to. John Lee's narration is brilliant. His characterizations are true and never forced. A treat, really.
I found this book because I was looking for other reads by Allan Corduner. He is a terrific narrator. I had been hoping to read this series at some point so I was pleased that I could listen to his performance of the book. He reads all the books in the series. I am looking forward to the next one.
You can read the plot summary above. The idea that a "will" can be fragmented into pieces of print or text was an imaginative and original idea.
This is also a very positive "adoption" story. Arthur is is adopted because his parents died in a pandemic. The loving devotion of his adoptive parents and his strong relationships with his siblings were a very happy aspect of the storyline.
Very entertaining listen. Would be good as a family listen on a car trip.
If you are not an Anglophile or did not get up in the wee hours of the morning to watch the wedding of Diana and Charles, you are probably not going to be interested in this book.
I thought it was an interesting and riveting listen. Rosalyn Landor's narration was wonderful. The quality of my download was excellent. I did not have any issues with echo or hollowness of sound as another listener did.
Diana did not make a world-altering discovery or lead a country but there is no doubt she had a gift for touching peoples' hearts and giving comfort. She could have been an asset to the royals. Their own jealousy and inability to help her along with her own self-centered, destructive and selfish behavior doomed the marriage.
Tina Brown presents a fair and well-rounded look at the royal family and Diana. Brown knew Diana but fairly paints her manipulativeness as well as her compassionate and loving side. At the end of the book, you can really feel sympathy for all the players in this real-life drama.
What potential, what a waste and lost opportunity for them all. Hopefully her sons will benefit and learn from the story.
I thought this was a great listen.
I was interested in the gardening aspect of the story but over all I did not think this was a strong mystery. Washington DC social settings and White House intrigue impact a family that has moved to the area for the CIA spy husband's new assignment. I found it interesting enough to listen to the end and I will try one more in the series. The performance was ok. I could hear paper pages turning in some parts.
"Brilliant read/listen"
Allan Corduner is a brilliant narrator. His voicings are spot on and never forced. Magyk is a fun story but it is Corduner's performance that makes this audiobook a wonderful wonderful treat. I was dismayed to discover he did NOT narrate the two sequels. It took awhile to get used to the new narrator. I have started listening to The Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix because Corduner narrates.

DescriptionThe Great Depression has bound a nation in despair -- and only a privileged few have risen above it: the exorbitantly wealthy ... and the hucksters who feed upon them. Diego, a seventeen-year-old illegal Mexican immigrant, owes his salvation to master grifter Thomas Schell. Together with Schell's gruff and powerful partner, they sail comfortably through hard times, scamming New York's grieving rich with elaborate, ingeniously staged séances -- until an impossible occurrence changes everything. While "communing with spirits," Schell sees an image of a young girl in a pane of glass, silently entreating the con man for help. Though well aware that his otherworldly "powers" are a sham, Schell inexplicably offers his services to help find the lost child -- drawing Diego along with him into a tangled maze of deadly secrets and terrible experimentation. At once a hypnotically compelling mystery and a stunningly evocative portrait of Depression-era New York, The Girl in the Glass is a masterly literary adventure from a writer of exemplary vision and skill. About the AuthorJeffrey Ford is the author of three previous story collections and eight previous novels, including the Edgar® Award-winning The Girl in the Glass and the Shirley Jackson Award-winning The Shadow Year. A former professor of writing and early American literature, Ford now writes full-time in Ohio, where he lives with his wife. Praise for The Girl in the Glass…"Off-beat, thoroughly researched . . . [Ford has] crafted an engaging read." |

Cooper 265/75/16 STT's on stock 09 tacoma. I run dirt roads alot during hunting season and two track trails at the farm, made a huge improvement in traction/grip compared to the stock tires. They make my speedometer read basically dead on (within a couple points, gps verified), compared to the 2.5mph it was off with the 265/70's. Little bit of noise, which will most likely get louder with age, but thats to be expected with mt's. Did see an rpm drop of 100 or 200 at highway speeds, which will end up being perfect for towing the horse trailer & other trailer in 4th gear!
Anyways, here are some pics for those folks, like me, that were wondering what they would look like and how much room in the fender wells would be left over with the slightly larger size, etc.
