The Book I Read On my Birthday
by Bellezza
Wow. How deep and different. I never would have guessed this was as good. I'm so glad you're enjoying it and look forward to your review.
What a lovely gift. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Glad that you are enjoying the book!
Now that is a good friend with good taste. Happy Birthday and enjoy!
In this vein since I may have missed recommendation day, I mention In the Country of Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett, another quiet, lovely book.
Thanks for reminding me about this book. I purchased a copy when it was first released and then put it on a shelf and forgot about it.
Happy Birthday! I would have to open all the packages. haha. I admire your restraint!
Of course for you!!! (We may have let it slip….) xo
Lovely! Happy Birthday! But I don't know how you resisted opening the second package.
Awww. It sounds like you're having a lovely birthday. The book came just in time. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday! :)
Sounds wonderful!
Happy Birthday! What a wonderful gift :)
I love the concept of that story. Have an enjoyable birthday. Seems you have a head start on that!
Happy birthday, Bellezza! Enjoy your book and your special day, at a snail's pace. :)
Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Meredith, I hope you have a wonderful year, no stress at all :)
Happy Birthday Bellezza! You have some wonderful traditions – scone, tea and a good book for your birthday sounds divine. Listening to a wild snail eating sounds a little bizzare, but I'm sure now you've mentioned it, I'll pick it up if i see it somewhere. I'm with Kailana tho, what was in the second package?????
Happy birthday! Gorgeous choice of tea and book – hope you had a wonderful day :)

Beyond Seven Billion: Reporting on Population, Environment, and Security
The Environmental Change and Security Program, the Society of Environmental Journalists, the Africa Program, and the Asia Program invite you to a dialogue on:
Beyond Seven Billion: Reporting on Population, Environment, and Security
Featuring: Kenneth R. Weiss, Los Angeles Times reporter
Tuesday, October 9, 2012
3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
6th Floor Flom Auditorium
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
1300 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20004 USA
Reception to follow.
Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com with your name and affiliation.
For "Beyond Seven Billion," a landmark five-part series published in the Los Angeles Times, environmental reporter Kenneth R. Weiss and photographer Rick Loomis traveled to Africa and Asia to document the past two decades' rapid population growth. They found that the boom is not over: "The biggest generation in history is just entering its childbearing years. The coming wave will reshape the planet, and the impact will be greatest in the poorest, most unstable countries," writes Weiss.
At the Wilson Center on October 9th, Weiss will share his stories about the impact of population growth on natural resources, food supply, and conflict in Afghanistan, India, Kenya, China, and the Philippines. He will also discuss the challenges of covering this complex topic — from analyzing demographic projections to addressing contraception controversies — that make this series a unique accomplishment in the U.S. media.
Location: Woodrow Wilson Center at the Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW ("Federal Triangle" stop on Blue/Orange Line), 6th Floor Flom Auditorium. A map to the Center is available here. Note: Photo identification is required. Please allow additional time to pass through security.
Note: If you are interested, but unable to attend the event, please tune into the archived webcast at www.wilsoncenter.org. The archived video will be available approximately one week after the posted meeting time.

I've read through the recent threads on E6 developing and haven't found an answer. I'm wondering just what differences there are between the 3-bath and 6-bath E6 kits for home development in individual tanks.

I've read through the recent threads on E6 developing and haven't found an answer. I'm wondering just what differences there are between the 3-bath and 6-bath E6 kits for home development in individual tanks.
Basically, the 3-bath kits combine some steps -- reversal takes place in the colour developer IIRC, and the bleach and fix functions are combined. It makes the number of steps smaller, though the overall time for the process is not significantly shorter, from what I recall.
The combination of multiple steps makes it hard (or impossible) to tweak each particular step by adjustments in pH. In addition, combined bleach-fix solutions ("blix") have problems with stability. You need to make sure that the blix step goes to completion.
The 3-bath kits have worked well for me, but I'm just a hobbyist and I don't run control strips for consistency, etc. In addition, I was always sure to use the entire kit (up to its stated capacity) within a few days of mixing it.
I've used the Tetenal 3-bath kit and have gotten pretty good results for normal processing and 1-stop push. If you push, I don't recommend reusing the chemistry. For normal processing, I typically reuse it once. Fuji films seem to exhaust the developer faster than Kodak, so you might be able to get three batches through the chemistry with Kodak film.
The 6-bath kits are said to give better results for bigger pushes, which I don't do that often.
Like David said, if you don't need a big push, the 3 step kits are usually fine. I recently bought a Unicolor Rapid E-6 kit (yes, they are still in business) and ran some 120 E100, the results were just fine.
The E6 first developer is a high solvent, high acutance developer with special ingredients to promote good interimage, edge effects and stability. Many brands other than Fuji and Kodak do not use the same chemistry and suffer from a host of minor faults in the above characteristics. Some are severe and some are minor. All exist unless the exact method in the Kodak/Fuji formulas is followed.
This includes a balance of pH, bromide and iodide as well as the use of Hydroquinone monosulfonate for proper development. If these are not used properly, development in the many layers is not correct.
As for bleach then fix and blix processing, the blix for films is less stable and tends to allow for retained silver. A team of us spent over a year trying to develop a good blix for E6 and C41 and failed to do the job to our satisfaction although it yielded a lot of novel work and one patent. At present, I'm still trying to design a good blix and I now have one formula that works. It is not all that stable, but it works as well as can be expected when mixing an oxidant and a reductant.
So, be careful and beware of blixes used for color film processing. I have read several threads discussing retained silver problems from such processes.
I take it from your comments, then, that the quality is better with the 6-bath kit, though the quality of the 3-bath might be acceptable.Quote:
Originally Posted by Photo Engineer

If the first developer and blix give you acceptable results, use it. I say do whatever works for you. Anything can fail to work for any number of reasons.
For what it is worth, I'll try and accurately paraphrase the paragraph John Tinsley devotes to the 6 bath v 3 bath debate in his book.Quote:
Originally Posted by greypilgrim
6 bath gives the more neutral results and the Kodak process the most neutral grey. When absolute colour accuracy is required as in studio work the 6 bath process should be used. Outside work is a different story. An absolutely neutral E6 can give very cold results on film exposed out of doors in the middle of the day. In these circumstances the warmer results of the 3 bath processes are normally preferable to film exposed without filtration and processed in 6 bath. He goes on to show examples of six gray shades and alongside RGB and CMY for various processes including Tetenal, Kodak and Photo Technology, part of the Paterson Photax group. The film used for the test varied from Velvia to Agfa Chrome RS 50 and 100, Kodak EPX and EPR 64 and EPP100
Of course in looking at the colour squares the reader is relying on the accuracy of the colours on a printed sheet but assuming that any colour authenticity issues apply equally to all the examples, I could see no difference between Tetenal 3 bath or 6 bath.
While the book is now 13 years old and processes may have been improved, it may be worth obtaining a copy. A lot of what he says I suspect is still valuable in terms of processing procedures etc.
The book is called The Rotary Processor Manual and has an ISBN number of 0-902979-11-6. The publisher was R Morgan Publishing PO Box 11, Chislehurst Kent BR7 5RH
I am not an E6 processor as yet but I have looked throught the book fairly thoroughly and unfortunately he makes no mention of the respective longevities of film processed either way. This was not addressed in his 6 bath v 3 bath paragraph.
Hope this helps
This is the sort of thing that I was looking for.Quote:

If I remember what I've read, I will dilute the chemicals from concentrate to use "today." The rest of the concentrate I return to the shelf for use another day. Once finished developing today, I will dispose of the working solutions.
Thus, I don't really care about the shelf life of the working solutions; they'll be thrown away immediately. But I do care about the shelf life of the concentrates, both for the 3-bath and the 6-bath kits.
Doug, I believe it depends on the actual component of the kit in terms of long term storage. Supposedly stock bleach solution will last forever but the first developer less so. I use the Kodak 6 step and chuck the working solution after one use. I generally use up the kit in about a month or so and I have seen no ill effects from storing the stock solutions in partially full bottles for this amount of time and they could probably last longer but I'm sure PE can give a more adequate answer. FWIW the 6 step process is foolproof as long as you strictly adhere to the instructions and I have never screwed up a roll of film. For the better longevity of your images and the apparently better image quality I would go with the Kodak 6 step process but thats me. The most time consuming part is mixing the dilutions but after that it flies.

Corowa isn't really a tourist destination, and it's among Australia's less visited places. Travelers passing through the area most often stick to more well-known destinations. Have you been to Corowa? Help us improve this Corowa travel guide by adding your favorite spots!
Travel Tips from people who've been to Corowa
Cowra is noted for its historical and natural attractions, the magnificent Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre, quality restaurants, wineries, galleries, craft shops and horse riding. The public identity of the town has become bound up with the Cowra breakout of 1944 (in which Japanese prisoners of war attempted to escape from a local camp during World War II) and the subsequent association with Japan. This history has led the town to focus on and promote the values of pacifism and internationalism, which are at the centre of the annual Festival of Understanding.
Interestingly, the many Italian POWs were, for the most part, cheerful and cooperative and worked agreeably outside the camp while the Japanese POWs were surly, difficult and resentful. Attempts at employing them outside the camp had proved a failure due to their aggressive behaviour. Their lack of cooperation and the breakout itself arose from an overwhelming sense of shame engendered by a code of honour which viewed capture as a disgrace to themselves, their families and their country. Japanese soldiers were supposed to commit suicide rather than be humiliated by the subservience implicit in imprisonment. Indeed most of the prisoners were taken when they were too weak to offer resistance or they were merchant seamen scooped from the waters. They gave false names as they felt news of their capture would shame their families while the Japanese authorities reported all those missing in action as dead. When informed of the deaths during the breakout, the Japanese authorities asserted that those killed must have been Japanese civilians as, it contended, there was no such thing as a Japanese POW. When the internees returned many felt their 'shame' would render them unworthy of return to Japanese society (some expected to be executed) and half did not tell their families they had been POWs.
A number of annual events grace the Cowra calendar. The Festival of Understanding (which features a different guest nation each year) is held in March, the Cowra Picnic Races and the Cowra Wine Show in July, the Cowra Show in late September, Sakura Matsui (the Cherry Blossom Festival) in early October, and, at the visitors' centre in November, the Art and Craft exhibition and Rose Fair. Good tip? (0) Definitely stop by the museum dedicated to the war. It's fascinating and when I was there the lovely man at the front desk let us play with all the old guns! It made for some fantastic pictures... Good tip? (0) Ask a travel question about Corowa

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts Hit the Red Carpet For Larry Crowne
Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks stepped out in LA last night for the premiere of their upcoming film Larry Crowne. Tom and Julia had tons of their costars on hand for posing on the red carpet, including Taraji P. Henson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Grace Gummer. Nia Vardalos, the My Big Fat Greek Wedding scribe who also penned this film, smiled for the cameras with Tom's wife Rita Wilson. The Larry Crowne reviews look promising, so the comedy may be a big draw over the long Fourth of July weekend. Tom and Julia's excitement about their movie was evident in our recent interview with the pair, as they laughed and joked about how shooting the picture hardly felt like work at all.

Aww Julia, you are so gorgeous but what are you wearing?! You're not going to the office!

Comments about RK 520 GXW Standard Gold Motorcycle Chain:
Installed this on a '97 F650. So far it seems good. Initially it seemed like I got the sideplate on the master link squeezed on too far and it was a little tight. But I got it flared properly and after 100 miles of riding it spread out a bit so it's now the same width as the other links on the chain. I've put about 200 miles on it so far with minimal initial stretch. I'd buy it again.

(CNN) — An American woman who was released from a Mexican jail cried out for joy when she crossed the border into Arizona. "I'm home! Finally!" Yanira Maldonado exclaimed.
Mexican authorities detained her last week and put her behind bars over allegations she tried to smuggle 12 pounds of marijuana under a bus seat.
She and her husband, Gary, were traveling from Mexico back to the United States when their bus was stopped and searched. Yanira Maldonado allegedly was sitting above the illegal stash.
Maldonado's case sparked widespread media coverage and attention from U.S. lawmakers as family members pushed for her freedom. At a press conference early Friday in Nogales, Arizona, she thanked journalists, crediting them for her expedited release.

It took about 3 weeks from the job offer until I was finally able to start work, but the day finally came today. Overall, I'm pretty impressed.
All of the docs that I'll be working with, at least so far seem to be pretty nice, and very helpful. I have a place to sit in a "bullpen so that I can either dictate my note, or enter it into the computer. I won't start learning the electronic medical record system until next week. If it's like the one that I used in California, it will take some time to learn, but once I have it down, it should save time. I've also worked on an EMR system that was total crap, but the practice that I was working in that used it was pretty cheap. This group is a major corporation, in several states. I'll have other things to learn, not so much medical, as procedural, but I should do ok.
I've looked over the benefit package, and I'm happy. I have 16 days vacation time, starting in 30 days, that I'll earn as each pay period comes along. But, 1 day more than 3 weeks vacation first year is pretty sweet. And, they give me long term disability, and I can buy short term disability, as well as increasing the benefit amount of the long term disability, and cut the eligibility time in half by paying a small amount. And, as long as I take advantage of it my first 31 days, I don't have to prove insurability. The availability of the coverage, the ability of increasing the benefit amount, along with cutting the eligibility time from 6 months to 90 days is great, since my health problems would prevent me from buying this coverage privately. They also give me a personal holiday a year, along with the standard holidays, a week of CME time, as well as $1000 CME money. So, less money out of pocket if I want to go to a conference.
So. I'm pretty happy. And, while I've been waiting to start this job, I've been able to work quite a bit at my part time job at the local jail. And, given the jail that I work for, I may be seeing OJ soon... It looks like things have finally turned around. There are still some problems that I see coming, but nothing like what I've been through the past year. I'm finally happy!!!!!

This week Thursday I'll be speaking at Indy NDA! http://www.indynda.org/
I'll be talking about Silverlight 5 this time, and taking things in some different directions than I have in the past.
Silverlight is not dead! Contrary to what you might be hearing Microsoft is still making big investments across the XAML development stack and that includes Silverlight. Come check out a survey of what's new in Silverlight 5. Examples from real-world Silverlight 5 business applications will be included, going far beyond the usual demos. We will also discuss silverlight's place in the developer ecosystem.
I hope to see some familiar faces there.

I love it when news like this comes out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14370878
This is isntantly jumped on by the anti-Microsoft crowd to indicate you'd have to be stupid to use Internet Explorer, scientific proof that Micro$oft sucks and everything that does not come from Redmond is superior like you've been told all along.
I'm not a statistician, but let me attempt to refute this.
The overwhelming majority of users, who don't know and don't care, skew the results. I don't think I'm the only one to come to this conclusion but I've seen just enough people actually take this study to seriously mean "If you don't install Chrome your very intelligence is suspect" that I needed to go on record.

Map of Dufferin Co provided by Dufferin County GenWeb showing cemeteries and historic communities. [edit] History
The archeological record in Dufferin County dates Indigenous occupation of the area to the "Early Paleo-Indian" time period from 9000 to 8400 B.C. What eventually became Orangeville and Dufferin County, was historically the traditional territory of the Tionontati or Petún (Tobaco) People. "The Petun occupied from eight to ten villages located below the Niagara Escarpment along the southwest margin of Georgian Bay". Although described in the Encyclopedia Britannica as "living in the mountains south of Nottawasaga Bay, in what are now Grey and Simcoe counties", according to Sawden's "A History of Dufferin County" , the Petún also lived farther South at the source of the Grand River in Dufferin County. The Petún were decimated by European diseases in the 1630's, going from a population of approximately 8000 to 3000, and were subsequently attacked by the Iroquois in December of 1649 further reducing their numbers to less then 1000, they then fled along with other Huron peoples into the United States, while other Petún sought refuge with their french allies and settled in Quebec. This Iroqouis attack was not exclusive to the Petún, but was a part of the Beaver Wars, in which the Iroquois sought to expand their territory and monopolize the fur trade, the trade between European markets, and the trade between tribes of the Great Lakes region. After the decimation and dispersal of the Huron, Petún, and Neutral people of Sothern Ontario, Algonkonian peoples from Northern Ontario moved into the area at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, while members of the Three Fires Confederacy (Chippewa, Odawa, Potawatomi) moved into Southern Ontario from Ohio and Michigan in the Late 1700's. During the pre-confederation Treaty era, Anishinaabe or Chippewa First Nations signed Treaty #18 on Oct 17th, 1818, which included the Dufferin County area. Today, the descendants of Petún call themselves Wyandotte, and despite the 350 years since their displacement from Southern Ontario, and despite the heteroglot and diasporic nature of their contemporary communities (located in Oklahoma, Michigan, Kansas, and Quebec), they continue to recognize their shared history and are united through a modern day Wyandotte Confederacy. The first patent of land was issued to Ezekiel Robinson, a land surveyor, on August 7, 1820. This was followed by land issued to Alan Robinet in 1822. In 1863, Orangeville was named after Orange Lawrence, a businessman born in Connecticut in 1796 who owned several mills in the village. As a young man, he moved to Canada and settled in Halton County. During Mackenzie's rebellion in 1837, he was a captain in the militia. Lawrence purchased the land that became Orangeville from Robert Hughson. Orange Lawrence committed suicide December 15, 1861. In 1873, the Act of Incorporation was passed and Orangeville was given town status on January 1, 1874. The public library, located at Broadway and Mill Street, was completed in 1908. Andrew Carnegie, well-known businessman and philanthropist, provided financial assistance for its construction. [edit] Research TipsThe primary source for basic documents (vital statistics, land records, wills) for people who lived in the Province of Ontario is the Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 2C5. [edit] Early RecordsCivil registration did not begin in the province until 1869. Before then there may be church records of baptisms and burials. For the most part these are still held by the denomination who recorded them. Copies of marriage records made pre-1869 had to be sent by individual clergymen to the registrar of the county in which the marriage took place. These marriage records are available through Ontario Archives, on micorfilm through LDS libraries, and on paid and unpaid websites, but because they were copied at the registrars' offices, they cannot be considered a primary source. [edit] Vital Records after 1869Birth, marriage and death registrations are not open to the public until a specific number of years after the event occurred. Births to 1915 are now available [October 2014]; dates for marriages and deaths are later. Birth and death registration was not universally carried out in the early years after its adoption. Deaths were more apt to be reported than births for several years. The more rural the area, the less likely it would be that these happenings were reported to the authorities.
[edit] Land Records and WillsInformation on how to access land records and wills is best sought on the Archives of Ontario website. An ancestor's land holding might be found on Canadian County Atlas Digital Project if he was in occupancy circa 1878. Association for the Preservation of Ontario Land Registry Office Documents (APOLROD). A list of Land Registry Offices for all Counties of Ontario. [edit] CensusesThe original censuses are in the hands of Library and Archives Canada, known to Canadians as "LAC". Copies of original microfilms are online at the LAC website for all censuses up to 1911. Each census database is preceded with an explanation of the geographical area covered, the amount of material retained (some census division material has been lost), the questions on the census form, and whether there is a name index. Census divisions were redrawn as the population increased and more land was inhabited. The 1921 census is only available through Ancestry.ca, but it is free-to-view. [edit] E-books and Books
Dufferin Ontario GenWeb provides a valuable variety of references, including transcribed indexes to most BMDs.

In the morning, I find that my pimples have dried up and my skin is matte and soft. I wish I had found this great remedy before. It works so much better than some acne treatments.
I even used it once as a skin rash ointment and it worked for that as well.

From Melville House:
Every so often, a book is returned to the library so late, it makes headlines. The due date of the sad book in this particular headline was August 17, 1959.
The New York Public Library recently received a copy of Ideal Marriage by Th.H. Van de Velde, M.D. The librarian reports it's a "very wordy" and scientific guide to sex from 1926. (It's "certainly more juicy than The Tropic of Cancer," writes Billy Parrott of the Mid-Manhattan Library.)
It was such a source of shame, it wasn't returned by the patron, but by his in-laws after the patron's death:
We found this book amongst my late brother-in-law's things. Funny thing is the book didn't support his efforts with his first (and only) marriage… it failed! No wonder he hid the book! So sorry!!
A shocked in-law
On the Return of a Long-Lost Library Book, the World Rejoices "What's really curious, however, is the staying power of this rather quotidian story, our seemingly endless fascination with an old book returning to the place where it belongs."
Never gets old for me! [Thanks Bob!]
Library book 41 years overdue is finally returned to the Champaign County Library. The library received $299.30 in cash and a handwritten note that read:
"To Champaign County Library: Sorry I've kept this book so long, but I'm a really slow reader! I've enclosed my fine of $299.30 (41 years, 2 cents a day). Once again, my apologies."http://www.wdtn.com/dpp/news/local/champaign/library-book-returned-41-years-overdue#.Ue_JLaH...
Book checked out in 1828 returned to Centre College book checked out from a Centre College library in 1828 has resurfaced in a desk on the campus of the Kentucky School for the Deaf in Danville.
Unofficially, the book is 185 years overdue. At the current rate of 10 cents per day for late fees, the fine for the volume exceeds $6,000.
Current darling of the literary world, Keith Richards, is in trouble with his childhood library.
It's hardly the most rock and roll rap he's ever faced. But after a lifetime of hell-raising Keith Richards has finally been brought to book – for unpaid library fines dating back 50 YEARS.
The Rolling Stones legend, 69, admits he still owes for books he borrowed and failed to return to his local public library in Dartford, Kent, when he was a teenager.
And at 15p a day – plus interest and admin fees – the star could be slapped with a bill for around £3,000. Keith confessed: "I've still got overdue fines from about 50 years ago. They must be astronomical by now."
But with an estimated personal fortune of £175million the veteran guitarist shouldn't have too much trouble stumping up. Keith, who was once jailed on drug charges and admits he has drunk so much over the years he can't remember all the Stones' songs, reveals he was a bit of a bookworm in his early days.
This One is a bit different from the other "arrested for overdue books" stories. According to police, in July the director of the Easton Public Library [CT], complained an employee of the library, had been using her Trumbull library card and two Easton library cards she had signed up for in the names of her two children, to borrow numerous books, DVDs and magazines from the library. The director told police the employees children were not eligible to receive a town library card because they are not Easton residents.
Patrons gave more than [Fixed that link] 100,000 books and other items back to the Chicago Public Library during a three-week period where the library granted amnesty from fees.
Spokesman Leland Elder said in a news release that Chicago libraries received 101,301 items during the Once in a Blue Moon amnesty period, which started on Aug. 20 and ended Tuesday. The amnesty applied to overdue books, CDs, DVDs and all other materials.
It's Finally Back! A Chicago-area woman wanted to return an overdue copy of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" to the Chicago Public Library, but first she wanted to be sure she wouldn't go to jail.
That's because the book, a rare limited edition of the Oscar Wilde novel, was checked out in 1934. Harlean Hoffman Vision found it in her late mother's possessions, with a Chicago Public Library stamp.
A mother of five was put into handcuffs and hauled off to jail for neglecting to return her library book.
Story from the LA Times Jacket Copy. The incarcerated woman, who borrowed the book from the Portales NM Library, plans to sue.
Wednesday, for the first time in more than 25 years, they came to the Anchorage AK Public Library, where amnesty was granted to people with unreturned books. All day, a steady trickle of people arrived to unburden themselves; the sheepish, the guilty and the shamed, into the sun-dappled lobby of the Z.J. Loussac Public Library to make their confessions.
"Once upon a time, in the year of Our Lord 1996, I believe, my wife's sister checked these out," Kirk Dungan told me. He slid a copy of "Traditional Buildings of Britain," "At Home in Scotland," and a curious tome with medieval-looking illustrations titled "Love and Marriage," across the counter Wednesday morning.
You could almost smell the satisfaction. His wife's sister used his wife's card, he said.
The books were from a time when his wife's sister was thinking of moving to Scotland. She wound up in Long Island. And all these years, the books nagged his wife. What if she applied for a job and there was some kind of electronic search and the books popped up? What then? What did it say about a person to have unreturned books in their past? The debt, money-wise, might be small, but karma-wise, it wasn't pretty.
"I'm just happy to be doing it," he said.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
We love this car seat! I had originally spotted it on sale but I wasn't ready to purchase. I looked around online and found great reviews. On an unrelated trip back to the store we found it for almost half price as they were rolling out the newest inventory. We were thrilled! We were using the carrier previously, from our travel system. Our daughter began outgrowing it by 7 months. She would cry after a short trip. She is much more comfortable in the Evenflo! She likes sitting higher and looking around. She can also see out the windows now. The color is neutral and matches our car nicely. We also like the recline feature, although our daughter can not use this feature yet. It does make it much easier for installation though, as other seats require you roll up towels under the seat. The adjustable straps were what sold me on this seat over some of the others. It also has top safety ratings. It feels soft and durable. Other seats we compared felt very stiff and uncomfortable. I wouldn't want to sit in them so I wanted something soft for my daughter. The only thing I felt could use some updating was the cup holder. It is very flimsy and looks as though it may break off. But we weren't buying the seat for that feature and I would have purchased it without a cup holder. I feel our over all, we are extremely satisfied with our purchase!

Was given one about 2 years ago. Good condition. But the jerk who gave it to me is now divorcing my Mother. Now, I can't stand the rifle. Everytime I pick it up I get my blood pressure up. Now I know that Winchester stopped making them years ago and have been told to keep it as the value is going up. AM thinking of selling it and putting the money towards something I will be happy with. How long should I wait ? Is the value really going to go up in the next say, 2 years ?. Going to put the money towards an AR long barrel model as I already have a new M4..

Need to know how old it is and more specifics on the condition. Model 94s made prior to 1964 are worth more. That being said, a "pre-1964" in mint condition might be worth a good chunk. But mine, a 1952 and in "fair" to "good" shape is only worth about $350. If yours is post-1964, I really doubt it's worth a LOT more than that. And I haven't heard of them as being a great investment. I understand the emotional response it now gives you....if you can get over the emotion, I would keep it if I were you. You're not going to get a lot for it in trade for another firearm and I promise it will grow on you if you don't throw it in the trash first. It's a cool gun, has a lot of history, and is fun to shoot and handle, although ammo can be a b*tch.
Also....what caliber is your model 94?

O'Neill won't rush signings
05 Jun 2008 - 12:20:15
Martin O'Neill has conceded the need to bolster his wafer-thin Aston Villa squad this summer, but has urged supporters to be patient as he closes in on transfer targets.
Villa's already light ranks have been depleted by the departures of Olof Mellberg, Luke Moore, Patrik Berger and Thomas Sorensen since the end of the Premier League season.
However, O'Neill has vowed to be patient in the summer transfer market as he looks to add the right players to his ranks.
He told the club's official website: "It doesn't mean that we have to be signing a player every week. We could sign seven in one day.
"We knew there would have to be an overhaul anyway, it doesn't matter.
"We need an overhaul because this season there will be an extra two places on the bench. That's 18 players for every match.
"What you want to try and do is that the players who perform brilliantly for you, you want to strengthen the squad with a bit of quality to help them along.
"We have to definitely rebuild. I don't need reminding of that."

Energy security: It takes more than drilling
THE savagery of Sept. 11 confirmed that both Mideast oil dependence and fragile infrastructure threaten national security. Replacing Mideast oil is vital, but not by substituting equally or more vulnerable domestic sources.
Domestic energy systems aren't secure unless they're designed to make large-scale failures impossible and local failures benign. Today the opposite is true: The United States' extraordinarily concentrated energy flows invite and reward devastating attack.
Two decades ago, two of us authored and one wrote the foreword to a Pentagon study called Brittle Power: Energy Strategy for National Security. It found and little has changed since that a handful of people could shut down three-quarters of the oil and gas supplies to the Eastern states (without leaving Louisiana), cut the power to any major city, or kill millions by crashing an airliner into a nuclear power plant. Expanding centralized and vulnerable energy systems didn't protect national security then, and it won't now.
Energy security starts with using less energy far more efficiently to do the same tasks. The next step is to obtain more energy from sources that are inherently invulnerable because they're dispersed, diverse, and increasingly renewable. Meanwhile, we must not increase reliance on existing vulnerable systems. This strategy doesn't cost more; indeed, it's already winning in the marketplace.
Oil fuels 97 percent of US mobility. Relying for 13 percent of US oil supply on the pathological predators and vulnerable autocrats of the Mideast home of at least two-thirds of the world's reserves is a tragedy waiting to happen. We need not just another crude-oil source, but also an inherently secure supply chain delivering useful transportation fuels all the way to customers then using those fuels productively so we need less. Alternatives can supply a bigger share, and stockpiles last longer.

I'ts become more polished and I'm seeing more adds by well know gun and accessory makers. The only drawback I see for now is that it's available by subscription only and if you don't have access to the internet or know someone who already gets it, you're unlikely to be aware it exists. While they may not be planning on issuing a newstand issue any time soon, I'd recommend putting more advertisements into mags like Shotgun News, Handguns, Guns & Ammo and others that are read by handgun owners. Maybe one of the new gun shows, like Guns & Ammo TV or American Rifleman TV, can also do a spot on them.

Steelers rookie safety Thomas causing headaches
By Ed Bouchette / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Teammates call him "Headache," and, as Ike Taylor explained, there is a good reason for it. "He's a monster," Taylor said of rookie safety Shamarko Thomas. "A lot of people are going to be catching headaches or he's going to be catching headaches, it's going to be one or the other." That may be somewhat politically incorrect to say in the current touchy atmosphere surrounding concussions in the NFL. Yet, that is the style of this 5-foot-9 rookie from Syracuse, so prized by the Steelers in April that they traded a third-round pick in 2014 to the Cleveland Browns in order to draft him this year. "My mentality is to go out there and hit," Thomas said. He has caused headaches in training camp already, not by hitting anyone, but by peppering veteran safeties Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu with questions. "Shamarko has been asking RC and Troy questions from the time he steps on the field until meetings," Taylor said, "to the point that RC is like, 'Hey, man, this guy is getting on my nerves, he keeps asking me questions.' "But from my perspective and RC's perspective, it's a good thing, coming from a rookie guy. Just seeing those guys wanting to get better is going to help our team out." Thomas said he has to ask questions. "If you ain't asking the questions and you mess up on the field, that's on you, so I ask lot of questions. [Clark] might have said it to Ike, but me, he answers every question I ask, and Troy is good with that, too." Thomas is the heir apparent to one of the Steelers' two veteran safeties, and he could play in the nickel and/or dime defense this year. The plan also is to spot him for Polamalu and/or Clark for plays. That's all right by Thomas, who has been among the hits of training camp in more ways than one. "I have to get my feet wet, see what you can do in the NFL," said Thomas, who noted one difference between the pros and the old Big East. "You got bigger and stronger backs, so you got to bring more power and bring more explosiveness. But it's football at the end of the day ... I can handle it." Wheaton on right track Thomas finds himself defending another rookie on many pass plays in training camp, third-round draft pick Markus Wheaton. Wheaton, from Oregon State, missed all the Steelers' spring practices except for rookie orientation because of the arcane NFL rule that does not permit rookies to join their new teams for drills unless they graduated or their classes were finished for the term. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley said he never would know Wheaton missed anything because he has picked it up with the help of veteran receiver Jerricho Cotchery and receivers coach Richard Mann. Wheaton has speed, which they lost when Mike Wallace headed to the Miami Dolphins in free agency. But, unlike Wallace, he does not look to be a one-trick pony and just run deep. Wheaton has shown a good ability to go over the middle in live contact in camp and hang onto the ball. "It looks like he wants to get into the competition," Haley said of Wheaton. "We're all excited about him. "He's in a good position because Jerricho is mentoring him. When you have situations like that where veterans are mentoring guys who might at some point take their job, usually you're on a good team. "I can't say enough about how well Jerricho is doing on the field, No. 1, but also in bringing this kid along. For a guy who missed the whole offseason, you would not have any idea he did. That's a testament to him, to Richard Mann, to Jerricho. That's a good sign when you don't feel like he's behind." Roster updates The Steelers signed another cornerback, Devin Smith of Wisconsin, and running back Alvester Alexander of Wyoming. Smith recently was cut by the Dallas Cowboys. Alexander spent time with Tennessee and Indianapolis in 2012. To make room, the Steelers cut running back Curtis McNeal and defensive end Cordian Hagans, both undrafted rookies. Smith is the third cornerback signed since training camp opened. The others are Ryan Steed and Buddy Jackson. The reason is Cortez Allen had minor knee surgery, Curtis Brown is out with an ankle injury that coach Mike Tomlin considers minor, DeMarcus Van Dyke has a hamstring injury and rookie Terry Hawthorne has a knee injury. "We're dropping like flies," Taylor said, but seemed unconcerned because it is still a month before the season starts. "No, no need to get worried, we'll be all right. That's just how it is sometimes. This is the most I've seen at the cornerback position as far as guys dropping. That's all part of the game. One guy's loss is an opportunity for the next guy to step up." Read more: http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/...#ixzz2bMkdpLiz

Re: Steelers rookie safety Thomas causing headaches
Rookie Thomas impresses teammates while learning on the job
By Ralph N. Paulk Published: Wednesday, August 7, 2013, 9:30 p.m. Updated 4 hours ago Shamarko Thomas tumbled down some teams' draft boards partly because some perceived his 5-foot-9 frame to be a detriment in an era of big, heavy-hitting safeties. The Steelers overlooked his size when they visited him during his pro day at Syracuse. Thomas' speed, agility and football aptitude captured the attention of general manager Kevin Colbert and defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. "We have had some pretty good short players around here," LeBeau said. "If a guy plays good football, we don't overexcite ourselves with his height. A good safety can bring guys down to his level." Indeed, the 5-10 Troy Polamalu carved out an All-Pro career that likely will land him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Thomas didn't waste time consulting with Polamalu. And Polamalu didn't pull punches about the difficulty of processing LeBeau's defensive schemes. "Troy said, 'I'm not going to lie to you. It took nearly a year to learn the playbook,' " Thomas recalled. "He said boogie down to learn all of the positions because it'll make the job easier. "My first impression of the playbook was that it was big. I had to adjust to the wording because our defense in college was way different. "I really understand my assignments more each day because Troy has really been helpful," added Thomas, who has practiced in the nickel package. "They've stressed how important it is to get into the playbook, and things are starting to slow down some. I'm not thinking as much now because I'm in better position to make plays." Thomas has been a sponge the first two weeks of training camp. He keeps close to his mentor, occasionally resting his arms on Polamalu's shoulder as Thomas inquires about his progress. "(Thomas) being here couldn't come at a better time for a better person," Polamalu said. "All (safety) Ryan (Clark) and I ever wanted from anyone new coming in is to have a humbling disposition and a willingness to learn. "The more he's willing to learn, the more he can soak up and the less he'll make mistakes. Ryan and I have made every mistake in the book, so hopefully he'll learn from us both." So far, it's been difficult to evaluate the native Virginian. He looks like a natural some days and a project on others. He clearly looks better suited to defend the run than the pass — a weighted examination that can't be gauged accurately until he lines up against the Giants in the preseason opener Saturday night at Heinz Field. "What attracted us to him is the energy he brings to the game," LeBeau said. "When we talked to him in the one-on-one interviews, he impressed you as a very mature young man. He's been everything we anticipated he would be. "He's definitely going to get better. We'll see what he does with the tools he has. I don't like to put too much on these young guys because he'll have to develop at his own speed." However, veteran linebacker Larry Foote has no doubt the Steelers have discovered the man likely to succeed either the 32-year-old Polamalu or 33-year-old Clark. "He is a Steeler," Foote said. "I told Kevin we got lucky in getting him. "Shamarko is fast, and he's in the action. He has enough speed and size for this game. Steeler Nation will be pleased when they see him." Thomas is already feeling the pressure, but he welcomes the challenge. "At first, I was in awe when I stepped onto the field with all these great players," Thomas said. "When I saw Troy make a play, I thought, 'Now this is the real NFL.' After that, my instincts kicked in because I was born to compete. "I felt some pressure coming in here, but it's something I've always fed on. The way I figure, I've got time to learn from the best." Coach Mike Tomlin usually sticks with his top four or five draft picks. So Thomas' roster spot seems assured considering the Steelers lost Ryan Mundy and Will Allen to free agency. Still, he's been pressed some in camp by Robert Golden and Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith. The more demanding challenge Thomas faces in training camp might be the battle of expectations. It's rare that a fourth-round draft pick has so many eyes focused on his every move. Of course, the attraction is the possibility he's the one who soon will replace Polamalu or Clark. "I haven't thought about it, but everyone says it," Thomas said. "I'm just blessed to have this opportunity to learn from Troy and Ryan because they are the smartest people I've ever met on a football field."

I think that this Wheaton kid is going to be much better than Wallace ever was. Although not as fast, he has better hands and a MUCH better attitude. We just might have a younger and faster version of Hinse Ward on our hands.

Re: Steelers rookie safety Thomas causing headaches
Rumor has it Wallace was not that much faster. Like maybe a step in 100 yards. Keep in mind, more than likely we are going to be running more two TE sets, especially with our new ZBS system, which means only two WRs on the field. The idea is to not tip off the D as to whether were are going to run or pass ( which was a pet peeve of mine with BA who seemed like he had a formation for every play).
Top end speed is not going to be as critical, but precision route running and blocking is going to be essential in this offense. Wallace attributes in those area were somewhat lacking. Last edited by VaDave; 08-08-2013 at 09:50 AM. |

A Problem That Won't Go Away
Despite the sophistication of the technology that powers cloud infrastructure and services and the vast sums of money involved, the cloud is still disturbingly vulnerable to outages that can close an online business down for hours, and even days, or cause it to lose precious data.
Cloud providers suffered some embarrassing services failures this year. Jeff Kaplan, the founder of Thinkstrategies, has some simple advice that never grows old when it comes to cloud availability.
"There are inevitably going to be disruptions to service availability, and it's key for service providers to minimize these occurrences and for cloud consumers to mitigate their risk by having a backup and recovery plan in place and by exploring ways to take advantage of offline service options."
Continue on and see the cloud providers who experienced downtime this year.

OK after the very impressive loss Chuck showed the last time out. Dana White said thats it your done. Now he is saying well maybe you can keep fighting. First I want to say to Dana dude man up and stick to your word. Second Chuck retire already dude you are one greatest fighters in MMA history. You have plenty of money think about your wife and kids retire and go drink Mojitos at Canes house. I understand you still love to fight and you still have the drive to fight. You are getting older and the competition is getting younger and more skilled. You have nothing to prove at all to any fan. If a fan does say you need to prove your self they are stupid and full of dung. OK MMA GODS OF FTF make your pick from below on who chuck should fight in his last UFC match. Houston Alexander Ryan "The Master" Bader Stephan Bonnar Quinton Jackson Rich Franklin Anderson Silva Brandon Vera

Where's the poll? No vote?
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I tried to make it a poll but screwed it up big time. I guess I can make one.
I'd like to see Chuck fight Silva for his farewell bout. Silva can duke it out, but Chuck has an anvil for a jaw. On the ground, Silva clearly has the advantage, but getting Chuck to the mat would be a chore for Anderson. My 2 bits. Chuck doesn't kick downstairs, which is the only reason it would be close.
