Employers are maintaining a slow pace of layoffs and the economy may soon see a pick up in jobs growth, economists said Thursday after the government released a weekly report on jobless claims.
In the week that ended April 12, initial claims for regular state unemployment-insurance benefits reached 304,000, the U.S. Labor Department reported. That tally is up 2,000 from 302,000 in the prior week, which was the lowest level since September 2007.
Meanwhile, the average of new claims over the past month dropped by 4,750 to 312,000, hitting the lowest tally since October 2007, just two months before the recession began.
"Claims are suggesting a net pick-up in employment relative to last year's average," Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a research note.
Of note, the government's monthly snapshot of employment in the U.S. is based on data about the pay period that includes the 12th of the month.
—Ruth Mantell
Next: Ongoing jobless claims also hover by multi-year low
Also Thursday, the government reported that the number of people receiving unemployment-insurance benefits is dropping. These continuing claims fell 11,000 to 2.74 million in the week that ended April 5, hitting the lowest level since December 2007.
Meanwhile, the monthly average for continuing claims fell 32,500 to 2.79 million, the lowest level since January 2008.
"The jobless claims data also suggest the labor market may be making progress toward the Fed's labor market objective more quickly than many policymakers expect," RDQ Economics analysts wrote Thursday.
Next: Claims data point to faster employment growth
The U.S. has already started to show signs that employment growth is somewhat picking up after a tough winter.
Last month, the economy added 192,000 nonfarm jobs, up from December's meager gain of 84,000 positions.
Looking at trends, over the first quarter the economy added an average of 178,000 jobs per month, up a bit from an average of 167,000 at the start of 2014.
Next: Job openings highest in six years
And here's another good sign for the labor market: The number of job openings recently hit the highest level in more than six years.
There were 4.17 million job openings in February — the most since January 2008 — up 4% from a year earlier, according to the Labor Department's most recent monthly report on its job openings and labor turnover survey.
"Typically openings precede payroll gains," analysts at Stone & McCarthy Research Associates wrote in a note.
Next: Quits, hiring remain depressed
However, the labor market isn't out of the woods yet.
Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen recently noted, "the recovery still feels like a recession to many Americans."
Quitting is below pre-recession levels, signaling that many workers are unwilling to trade some job stability and security to advance their careers. This wariness makes sense given that employers haven't cranked up hiring yet.
There were about 2.38 million quits in February, down 16% from the number of quits when the recession started at the end of 2007. Meanwhile, hires hit 4.59 million in February, down 9% from the start of the recession.

Ticket Prices Slashed For Monday's Game
Adults can get in to Pittodrie for as little as £14 on Monday night for the game with Partick Thistle - but buy in advance.
The match against the Jags is live on Sky Sports this Monday, 4th November with a kick-off time of 7:45pm.
And to make up for the awkward scheduling, Aberdeen have cut ticket prices by 20% off all adult and over-60s tickets with students and under-18s paying only £5 to get in.
You MUST purchase your tickets in advance - do it online via www.afc.co.uk/eTickets, by visiting the Pittodrie Ticket Office, or by calling 01224 63 1903. Standard ticket prices will apply at the turnstiles on the evening of the game.

Thanks to the wonderful answers to my previous post, I used the procedures provided in the link below, to fit my data with three normal distributions:
After fitting my data , the parameters for the three normal distributions are as follows:
pi mu sigma
1 0.5552 -0.4868 2.044
2 0.2739 8.3846 1.399
3 0.1709 12.5317 1.036
To check the agreements between my data (x) and the model distribution (ee), I did the following steps:
e1 <- rnorm(5552, mean=-0.4868, sd=2.044)
e2 <- rnorm(2739, mean=8.3846, sd=1.399)
e3 <- rnorm(1709, mean=12.5317, sd=1.036)
ee <- c(e1,e2,e3)
qqplot(x, ee)
I got the qqplot as follows: (http://i.stack.imgur.com/3favy.png)
It seems not bad, so, I want to calculate the p-value of obtaining a value equal to or less than 2.0 for this model population. Could you mind to teach me how to calculate this p-value using R?
The density plot of the model population ee is attached herein (http://i.stack.imgur.com/pExhF.png).

The former Bond girl was taped as she tried out for the project, but she struggled to focus on the take with chatter from Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie going on behind her.
She tells BlogtalkRadio.com, "In my audition there was a moment where I was doing a scene with a guy who was standing in for Richard Jenkins, who plays my father. I could see Tom Cruise and McQuarrie out of the corner of my eye kind of talking during my scene and it was distracting. So I said, 'I'm sorry guys, do you think you could not talk during my scene?'"
She immediately regretted speaking out and thought she had jeopardised her job: "I thought, 'Oh my goodness, what have I done?' I'm probably the only actress in 30 years who's ever told Tom Cruise to stop talking."
Her full audition tape was sent to studio bosses but her ballsy move appeared to work and Pike landed the role.
She says, "Chris sent me an e-mail saying, 'Now that's how you book it (the job)!'"
And the incident didn't taint her working relationship with Cruise: "We did connect. We found this nice easy humour from the word go."

Travelers Cast Wary Eye As Storm Moves Eastward
"I'm just hoping I also don't become a statistic during the holiday weekend," he said. "Worst comes to worst, it will be an eight-hour trek down Interstate 90."
Ninety percent of travelers this week will drive, according to AAA, and an estimated 38.9 million people a¿¿ 1.6 percent fewer than last year a¿¿ are expected to drive 50 miles or more from their home.
Gas is about 15 cents cheaper than last year, AAA said Monday, with a gallon of regular selling for $3.28.
The car-lobbying group and travel agency says Wednesday will be the busiest travel day, a forecast based on a formula that factors in consumer confidence, stock market performance, unemployment and a survey of 418 people that has a 6 percent margin of error.
Air travel will be busier and more expensive than usual this Thanksgiving. This holiday will likely see the most air travelers since 2007, according to Airlines for America, the industry's trade and lobbying group, with the busiest day being Sunday, an estimated 2.56 million passengers. Wednesday is expected to be the second-busiest with 2.42 million passengers. The average domestic airfare is up 9.5 percent from last Thanksgiving to $313, according to the Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes tickets sold online and by traditional travel agencies. Meanwhile, Amtrak prices in September a¿¿ the most recent month for which data is available a¿¿ were up more than 4 percent from last year. Adding to the usual stress of holiday travel, though, is the weather that's ahead for much of the country. Already, the storm system dropped several inches of snow last week in New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and West Texas. In Arkansas, state police reported that a Franklin woman was killed Monday morning when she lost control of her car on an icy bridge over the Strawberry River in the north-central part of the state. Her car collided head-on with an oncoming vehicle, police said.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Anabolic Halo Overview
Anabolic Halo is an all-in-one musclebuilding formula from bodybuilding specialists Muscletech. Anabolic Halo is essentially a post-workout formula that you take on both training and non-training days. What's in Anabolic Halo? A better question might be what's not in Anabolic Halo? The long list of ingredients spans the gamut from creatine to BCAA's to herb extracts to D-mannose and a lot of other compounds. All the ingredients in Anabolic Halo are part of a proprietary blend, so it's hard to know how much of each nutrient is present. Muscletech says Anabolic Halo will maximize your anabolic recovery through six mechanisms that include promoting better testosterone utilization and optimizing insulin function. Since Anabolic Halo is focused on inhibiting catabolism and maxing out recovery, it's best used by serious athletes who train hard, and train frequently as opposed to beginners or casual trainers. Based on repeat sales it's clear that some users get great results with Anabolic Halo, since it's not an in. The harder and more often you train, the more you'd benefit from Anabolic Halo and vice versa. Our only complaint is that we wish Muscletech would stop using FD&C colors as they do in Halo and many other products. Not only are natural colors widely available but also because most users won't care about the color if they know the product hasn't been artificially colored in the first place.
Anabolic Halo Description from MUSCLETECH All-In-One Lean Muscle ShakeNew and improved ANABOLIC HALO is a powerful all-in-one formula designed to be taken once daily to drive muscle growth, strength and recovery while training hard. The new and improved formula is designed to eliminated the confusion of which products to take and remembering to take them several times a day.
Ingredients: Other ingredients: Multi-phase protein system (whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, egg albumen), maltodextrin, cocoa powder, natural and artificial flavors, sunflower-based nutritional supplement (sunflower oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate, mono- and diglycerides, dipotassium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, soy lecithin, tocopherols [as preservative], salt, gum blend (cellulose gum, xantham gum, carrageenan), acesulfame potassium, sucralose, soy lecithin.
Manufacturer's Directions Mix one serving (1 scoop) with 5 oz. of water once daily. For full effects, mix 2 scoops with 10 oz. of water. On workout days, consume immediately post-workout. Maintain an adequate state of hydration during use.
Manufacturer's Disclaimer Not intended for use by persons under 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Discontinue use and consult a medical doctor if you experience unusual symptoms. Consult a medical doctor before use if you have been treated for, diagnosed with or have a family history of any medical condition, or if you are using any prescription or over-the-counter drug(s), including blood thinners. Consult a medical doctor before starting a diet or exercise program. Do not exceed recommended serving. Improper use of this product will not improve results and is not advised. Use only as directed. Do not use if packaging has been tampered with. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
This is one of the best tasting chocolate supplements available. I use it most as a meal replacement or as a snack. Wonderful for homemade protein brownies.
I replaced by creatine and anabolic drinks with this formula. I still use a protein drink to insure I get enough grams of protein. I mix this chocolate flavor - which I strongly prefer over the wild cherry - with the Pro-Nos French Vanilla for a great tasting morning recovery shake.

Sollux stared at you taken aback by your sudden outburst. "I brought you here through the acce22 portal that links out world with the human world. A2 for the high-blood I do not know, though it'2 probably becau2e of our race intermingling with their2 and producing off2pring." you listened as he spoke your mind trying to draw some conclusion to why it was wrong to become matesprits with a human as they were not to different from your kind in ways of how they acted and what they liked.
Slowly you sat back down crossing your arms in front of you and sighed, "I guess I owe you for my life then, right?" you said to the male. "Nah it'2 fine don't worry about it." you uncrossed your arms shocked, "But your blood is of higher quality in comparison to mine which is abnormal and grotesque." he gave you a quizzical look then asked, "In what way is your blood abnormal and grot2que to mine?" You looked down at your arm for a second before grabbing the fork you had been using to eat your waffles and promptly stabbed yourself in the arm. Sollux jumped to his feet eyes wide and attempted to grab the utensil from you, but you gave him a look that said 'watch' before pulling the fork from your arm.
Sollux could only stare as (abnormal blood color) blood spilled from the wound in your arm. "I was born with this color, I am the only troll to ever have been born with this color." You glanced up at him "I am not worthy to be in your presence let alone be saved by you, you should have just let me die in that explosion." Sollux growled and grabbed your arm "Idiot what make2 you think I care what color your blood i2, I 2till would have 2aved you even if I had known what color it wa2!" he yelled causing you to blush again. "Bu-." "No but2 you're fine the way you are 2o 2top thi2 no2en2e." tears trailed down you face as you looked up at him "You are the first troll to ever be so kind to me, why?" you stuttered out. "Becau2e any troll who think2 2omeone a2 beautiful a2 you i2 grote2que or abnormal i2 a fucking idiot." you smiled warmly "Thank you Sollux, thank you."

Alright, hello everyone. I've looked all over the forums and I can't seem to find an answer for my question.
Ok, I have a 2013 double cab Prerunner. It came with the touchscreen head unit. Not a JBL sytem, at least I don't think it is (also has bluetooth capability and aux in jack, no nav system though). I just want to know if adding some good aftermarket speakers and an amp would be doable. I just want to leave in the factory headunit, and install an amplifier and a good set of alpine speakers. Doing that won't blow out the factory headunit or anything will it? Car audio has always been way too confusing for me. I'll read one fact, then I'll read something else that sounds like it's contradicting it, or just doesn't make sense to me anyway. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Many people today profess that God is their friend. But do they really consider Him a friend? God can be your best friend, the Bible says He sticks closer than a brother. But many people today don't know God on the personal level, they only seem to go to Him when they need something. How would you feel if one of your friends only talked to you when they needed something?You should not just pray when you are desperate, you should walk with Him daily.
In order to call God friend, you must know Him. You must know His likes and dislikes. Now how can you get to know what the Most High God likes and what He doesn't? You read His word!
Once you get to know God on a personal level, there is nothing you can't do! God can give you the power to move mountains, He'll give you power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils. Anything you can think of. God actually challenged me while I was praying one day. He said:
"Tell me the most ridiculous, impossible, irrational thing you can think of, and I can do it for you!"
I started to think of one thing after another, and each thing God told me He could easily do. The most ridiculous thing I could think of was the sun rising at midnight.
"I can do that with ease! You cannot think of one thing that I wouldn't be able to do for you, all you have to do is be love and trust me!"
I know I may sound crazy, but it's true. God does speak to me sometimes, and He can speak to anyone that listens.
He will gladly be your friend, it's the thing He wants most. He wants to be a part of your life.
However, many Christians think the price to pay for calling God their friend is too high. They would rather just go to church once a week, pay their tithes, pray for five minutes and spend the rest of the week living like heathens. That doesn't cut it. If you truly want to call God your friend, then you will try to live right. You may lose some of your friends, your family may disown you, you might even fall flat on your face, but the Lord will be right there to pick you up. My pastor talks about how when you first completely follow God, your whole life seems to fall apart. The whole world seems to be against you. But greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. If God be for us, then who can be against us?
My last point is that Christians today seem to halfheartedly follow God. This can be a very dangerous thing. The Bible says God would rather you be hot (serving God) or cold (serving the Devil), not lukewarm (trying to serve God while still being a part of the world). A man cannot serve two masters. You either serve Jesus, or you serve Satan. If you are a friend of the Devil (not a good idea, because he will betray you), you can't be a friend of God.
God bless you all

Reiss Reports Brady, Jackson, Bam return to practice And hopefully some fans fingers are removed from the panic button. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/
Re: Reiss Reports Brady, Jackson, Bam return to practice All good news...nothing else left to do...so panic!!! I love it!! No need to worry at all..just a bit of time for the Soph and..now with 2 MORE receivers out there..a better idea of what the team will have. ALL good news from camp..I have to though wonder about injuries..players not practicing..like Graham, Mills, Light, Green and Hill...what's up with all them???
Re: Reiss Reports Brady, Jackson, Bam return to practice I have no idea what's up with Mills and Green. But Graham is still rehabbing from his two shoulder surgeries, and Hill hurt his ankle during camp. Light has been practicing off and on.
I would rather see guys get a practice off here and there or maybe several in a row than see us have a major injury.
It's going to be interesting to see throughout camp and pre season who wins the (hopefully) number 2 reciever spot. I'm still on the Jackson bandwagon, but I must admit Reche has looked fantastic so far! Only time will tell! Good luck to both.
To this point, Reche is the best story of TC. The reviews from every report have been startling good, and that story where he flubbed one and immediately dropped and did a voluntary 20 pushups is great!
Hey shmessy I've been at a horse show the past 2 weeks and missed this story. Any idea's where I can find that one. I've been loving all this catch-up reading!
Use the Forum Jump Bar at the bottom of the page to go to the 2006 Training Camp reports - Karen amongst others noted Caldwell's push-ups. Reiss' Pieces is always one of my favorites to play catch-up. Another horse-lady, sigh - one of my sisters was horse nuts and married a farrier, I always kid her that she fell in love with the way he swished his tail in sync with her horses.

Bride Arianna Dubovik has a little something special planned for her wedding guests. Before she made her way down the aisle and towards her waiting husband-to-be, she sings an emotional cover of Carrie Underwood's "Look at Me."
A bride and groom burst into giggles in the middle of their own wedding. The Lord has given us the gift of laughter and their laughter is contagious!
Maybe it's the Barry Manilow soundtrack or the fact that it looks like the opening credits to an 80s soap opera, but something about this video is making us feel nostalgic.
There is no better way to end a beautiful wedding day than with a romantic dance..but these newlyweds decided to take that tradition one step further.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
the set of formal legal institutions that constitute a "government" or a "state." This is the definition adopted by many studies of the legal or constitutional arrangements of advanced political orders. More broadly defined, however, the term comprehends actual as well as prescribed forms of political behaviour, not only the legal organization of the state but also the reality of how the state functions. Still more broadly defined, the political system is seen as a set of "processes of interaction" or as a subsystem of the social system interacting with other nonpolitical subsystems, such as the economic system. This points to the importance of informal sociopolitical processes and emphasizes the study of political development

Executive summary:
Replace your recoil spring every 1000 rounds. Or, use one recoil spring for carry purposes, and a spare for training use only. Failure to do so can result in failures to return fully into battery.
If you are not able to manually slingshot or overhand your first round into the chamber without getting a nose-down jam, the issue is NOT your technique or physical strength. This issue is caused by variations in the length and/or power of the recoil spring.
Some replacement springs are too long. This is a known issue. Solution from Kahr tech support is to cut ½ of a coil, reinsert the spring, and check function.
Depending on which tech you talk to at Kahr, the recoil springs on the PM9 need to be replaced every 1000, 1200, or 1500 rounds. I erred on the side of caution, and replaced mine at close to 800 rounds.
The new spring was too long – it went into the gun, but I could not lock the slide open, because the spring was fully compressed and became, in effect, a solid piece of steel. As noted above, the solution is to cut ½ of a coil, and try to reassemble the gun and check function. Mine only needed ½ of a coil cut to work properly. I checked function by actually firing the pistol this past weekend, and it worked fine with the new spring.
While this need to do my own gunsmithing on what is supposed to be a drop-in part was disappointing, it had the unexpected positive side effect of curing my PM9's inability to be hand-racked without going into the dreaded "Kahr nose-down jam." It would seem that minute differences in the length and/or power of the recoil springs explains why some owners can manually rack their PM9s all day long, while others will nose-down and jam. Contrary to the Kahr fanbois, it has nothing to do with the owner's physical strength or technique ("rack it like you mean it; rack it like a man; these guns are not for beginners," etc).
The PM9 is the only Kahr I have any interest in owning, due to its ability to fit into most pockets. If I need larger, I'll carry one of my Glocks. Thus, I do not know what the recoil spring change recommendation is for the larger Kahrs. However, if you have a larger Kahr and have difficulty manually racking the slide and reliably loading a round into the chamber, you might wish to try a new recoil spring.
Hope this helps some fellow Kahr owners…

Austin Street Art Spots
Baylor Street Art Wall: (pictured above) Often called "graffiti park," "art wall," "castle hill," or "the Foundation," this is the mecca of graffiti spots in Austin. This property was once slated to be condos, and the foundation was poured but things never moved forward from there. Eventually, local artists used the blank concrete foundation as their canvas. Now it is constantly changing, and you're sure to find new works and old favorites covered up from visit to visit. Street art lovers will easily be able to spend hours exploring the plethora of works. Location: 11th & Baylor StreetYou're My Butter Half Mural: Can we get a collective "awwwww?" This is hands down one of my favorite street art pieces in the city. You'll see all types of people posing here, from couples, to people like me who pose with their pets. Either way, the colors and the message can't help but warm your heart. Location: United Way for Greater Austin Building -
MLK and AlamoSmile Even If You Don't Want To: You can't help but smile when you see this mural. Your smile will be even bigger if you treat yourself to a cupcake while admiring this piece. Location: Hey Cupcake –1511 South CongressWelcome To Austin Postcard: This mural was originally completed in 1998 but was recently restored. It's a South Austin staple, and has served as the backdrop to countless family photos, wedding announcements, print ads and more. Austinites, it's worth the visit and taking a cheesy photo alongside of it. Location: South First Street & AnnieI Love You So Much: This is another mural that has become a staple of Austin. You'll find the famed "I love so much" on shirts, coasters, and in plenty of Austin related art. Tourists and locals always get a kick out of posing in front of the green wall with one of life's simplest messages in the background. Location: Jo's Coffee 1300 South CongressHi, How Are You?: Most people love it because it's weird and very 'Austin.' But here's a little background info: This piece was commissioned in 1993 and painted on the then Sound Exchange record store. The image is actually the album cover of one of artist Daniel Johnston's albums. At the time, the image gained national attention as Kurt Cobain was often spotted wearing a t-shirt with a "Hi, How Are You?" image on the front. Location: 21st & Guadalupe StreetLamar Street Bridge: This location serves as a billboard for Austin street art as it changes almost weekly featuring specific holiday related images to Lance Armstrong or Mathew McConaughey. Every time I head downtown on South Lamar, I catch my eyes wandering over to the wall to check out the latest attributions. Location: Northbound on Lamar before you get to 5th Street

text: http://blfs-bugs.linuxfromscratch.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1019 Summary: Restore ALSA volumes reliably when udev is installed Product: Beyond LinuxFromScratch Version: SVN Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P1 Component: Bootscripts AssignedTo: blfs-book at linuxfromscratch.org ReportedBy: alexander at linuxfromscratch.org QAContact: blfs-book at linuxfromscratch.org Problem: the ALSA initscript sometimes is started before udev creates nodes for ALSA soundcards present in the system, if their modules are loaded by the hotplug initscript. As a result, an ugly error message "No soundcards found" appears on the screen. And the device nodes appear just after that :( Official upstream recommendation: Use /etc/dev.d callback instead of the initscript to restore ALSA volumes. An example of such callback is provoded inside the udev tarball. However, the example is wrong. The provided example fails if the soundcard driver is not a module, and /usr is on the separate partition. More details: this callback is called from inside the udevstart binary from the udev initscript. /usr is not mounted at that point, that's why the callback scriptlet fails. We should develop an approach that works with all possible combinations of the following factors: 1) Driver is / isn't a module loadable by hotplug 2) /usr is / isn't a separate partition Side note: it seems that the only way to wait from the dev.d scriptlet for /usr to become mounted is by polling (spinning, sleeping and retrying) -- but the dev.d mechanism has been created just to avoid such polling. So the official upstream solution fails, and the dev.d callback gains nothing (instead of waiting for the device node we now wait for /usr). Feel free to prove that I am wrong. Of course, we can just declare all configurations with separate /usr as broken and unsupported, but that's probably not the best thing to do. If this bug is not fixed until 2004-12-01, it will be marked as "WONTFIX" here and transferred to LFS Bugzilla. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

A Message from the ECEA Chair: Dinah Volk
We're Counting on You!
It's been challenging to take on the chair's role and I now appreciate Vivian and Mariana's contributions even more than before. Conference Update: Presentations during our Day of Early Childhood last November were stimulating and very well attended as were the other EC sessions we sponsored throughout the conference. The Business Meeting and Get-Together at the end of the day provided for lots of relaxing and networking and overflowed the small room assigned. Our developing status as an organization was enhanced when the Elementary Section Steering Committee (with the support of NCTE's Executive Committee) voted to make a permanent place for an ECEA representative on the ESSC and the Executive Committee voted to pay for an ECEA rep to attend the program planning meeting. Since the conference we've accomplished a lot: Kindel Turner Nash and Brian Kissel and the Publications Committee have initiated work on the first issue of our online, refereed journal; Erin Miller, Program chair, has developed a great program for next fall's conference; JoBeth Allen, Secretary, has conducted the election for a new secretary; Dana Bentley and Marisa Calubaquib have worked with the Awards Committee to revise and send out the call for nominations; Brian Kissel, Treasurer, Tasha Laman and Julia López-Robertson, Membership Committee, have worked on recruiting new members; and Eileen Blanco and the Affirmative Action Committee are developing a strong position statement on representation of educators of color in the nomination pools for all positions.

text: Well, after living here for a while (and moving from a free state) it looks like my NYS pistol permit will finally be coming within the next month. Spoke with the Sheriff's office last month and they said 1-2 months left on my wait....feel both and due to the wait and process, but it's on the way and I should have it soon. So while waiting I had to pick up a new carry piece....hey, any excuese right? Got a second Glock 19 (This is what I used to carry, but for many reasons, I'm not importing any of my pistols into NY for my short stay here) with about 200 rounds down the tube. This one has an OD (read:brown) frame and came with orange/green Meps, 15 magazines, a holster, and some internal upgrades that will most likely be removed like a lighter disconnector, heavier trigger spring, titanium guide rod, extended slide release. Got it for $525 shipped...more than I had originally thought I wanted to spend on a new carry gun but considering this one came with 15 magazines and fresh night sights I couldn't pass it up...unfortunately most of the mags are high cap and I won't be able to use them while I'm here... Anyway, it's not that much to look at but I'm a big fan of the G19 so here's the picture:

dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to develop a computer simulation that successfully predicted chlorophyll-a dynamics in Lake Waco. A small-scale batch culture was used to elucidate intrinsic growth rate and how it was affected by initial nutrient concentration and light intensity. Light intensity effect proved to be of importance. This translated into a strong dependence of a larger-scale model (model of Lake Waco) on light intensity in the form of photic depth dependence and photoperiod dependence. There were similarities and differences among models of phytoplankton growth of different scale. The larger-scale model had to include also processes of inter-specific competition, zooplankton grazing, algal movement, and washout that arose from emergent properties of a community of greater physical size and being observed for several years. Microscopic features of cells in populations (average size and shape) and floating and sinking rates determined the differential success of algal populations in a lake community. A model developed in this study that included these processes has been successfully applied to phytoplankton dynamics of Lake Waco. The pulsed character of nutrient and clay inflow into the lake largely determined phytoplankton dynamics in Lake Waco. | en |

Reservoir engineers are specialists in locating - and helping petroleum companies effectively use - underground reservoirs of fossil fuels. Using geological expertise, knowledge of fluid mechanics, and various forms of technology, the reservoir engineer determines the location of underground fuel reservoirs and their reserve capacities, as well as whether their long-term viability makes them suitable for investment. The reservoir engineer works with geologists to monitor the reserves as fuels are extracted and makes adjustments to extraction processes as geological changes occur with the depletion of the fuel. As easier-to-reach fuel reservoirs are depleted internationally, reservoir engineering increasingly explores new techniques to locate viable drilling spots, and developing and modifying machinery to tap into these spots.
Read More...British Petroleum (BP), Chevron Corporation, Schlumberger, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and Shell Oil Company are among the top companies that take on many Reservoir Engineers. Occidental Petroleum Corporation attracts talent by shelling out the biggest paychecks in the area — the median in that office is $149K.
Though certain workers may see earnings of up to $252K, British Petroleum (BP) still falls short in the compensation department — the median pay is only $123K, the lowest in the field.
Survey results suggest that Reservoir Engineers use a fairly large toolkit of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Mergers and Acquisitions, Strategic Planning, Business Development, and Reservoir Engineering are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 8 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Microsoft Office. It is often found that people who know Reservoir Engineering are also skilled in Well Production Engineering.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Reservoir Engineers will find that Dallas offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 12 percent. Reservoir Engineers will also find cushy salaries in Houston (+2 percent). Trailing the national average by 6 percent, Oklahoma City is the market with the smallest paychecks. Two other places where employers salaries are below the median are Denver and Bakersfield (2 percent lower).

As the final few games of 2014 tick away, we can ask how this year was different from previous seasons.

Kristen isn't going to let her broken heart get in the way of having some fun with her fans abroad! The 'Twilight' star is slowly getting over her ex Rob and finally showing off her pretty smile again in these great new pictures of her hanging out with fans while filming 'Sils Maria' in Switzerland.
It's been a rough summer for Kristen Stewart as she recovers from the sting of getting rejected by both her ex Robert Pattinson and the man she cheated on him with, Rupert Sanders. Thankfully, Kristen has finally realized that she's not going to get over her troubles by sitting around and moping. Instead, she's working hard and enjoying meeting some of her overseas fans, who say she is "so genuine" and truly "happy to see" them. Read on for more details!
Kristen Stewart Smiling In New Pics — Over Robert Pattinson?
Despite her reputation for being a sourpuss, Kristen is actually very sweet and down to earth — she always takes time out of her busy schedule to talk to her adoring fans. While on location in Switzerland, she stopped to pose with four very excited supporters, who later posted the pictures to Twitter and Instagram.
beatriz_1dlover tweeted a photo of herself with Kristen, saying, "She was alone with the film producers :3 I saw her doing her shoot & then we talked & yeah we did photos and she's awesome. She asked us if we are from switzerland & we did say yes & yeah nothing very special & she also said she was very tired. She's soo genuine & soo normal, she's just happy to see her fans :D My first thought was; OMG SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL."
Even though Kristen was exhausted from filming, she still managed to be cheerful and have fun with her fans. In the pic, Kristen is shown smiling with her arm around her fan, dressed casually in a black batman T-shirt, black hooded sweatshirt and black thick-rimmed glasses. We're so glad to hear Kristen is back to feeling like her old self again!
Kristen Stewart 'Feeling Lonely & Insecure'
Poor Kristen deserves to smile after everything she's been going through lately. We told you Kristen was reportedly denied by her Snow White and the Huntsmen director Rupert when she reached out to him after she was dumped by Rob.
We were totally shocked by OK! Magazine's report that Kristen had reached out to Rupert after his divorce, but according to an expert, it's actually more common than you'd think.
"After you had such an intense relationship with someone with whom you're living and working with and then you don't anymore, you find yourself alone," Dr. Gilda Carle, TODAY's 30-second therapist, told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She's feeling very lonely and insecure right now."
Unfortunately, we're not surprised by this, as we know Kristen misses Rob, who decided they shouldn't even be in contact anymore.
We're glad to see Kristen seems to be moving on and finally putting the past behind her, though — and it's great that she has her fans to support her! What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Should Kristen move on from Rob for good?

Well this news of Rob moving on and Kristen moving on is what both these two needed to selvage their after Twilight careers. Because they were BOTH using the hype of their Twilight days to lure Twi idiots to secure bankrolling films..now it remains to be seen just how profitable their names really are. It's a new era and studios are being cautious about tossing big bucks just because one franchise of their struck lightning. They made millions and now they need to prove to Hollywood producers they are actors people want to see not just ready about their love life drama.

East of Eden was a pet project of Kristen Stewart's, but she could never raise the funding for it, even though she's been trying since 2008.
Since her cheating with her married director scandal, it looks like no studio wants to invest in her, and Jennifer is walking off with all the plum roles. How the mighty have fallen. Jen will be sensational, she's the best actress of her generation.
It's just a matter of time before Rob the A@@hole admits that he needs rehab—-he can thank farty and her HO's for getting him hooked— drinking, all night parties and one can only imagine what else —-Wonder what is going on in his head—the one on his shoulders—he is trying to act like he is Mr. Wholesome—actually he is a self centered, piece of garbage

read that Kristen was the first choice for her current role but had another obligation for a movie so they got Mia. Mia then left cause of a Disney movie. They then rearranged the schedule and asked Kristen again which she agreed. So to all you robsessed haters that bashed her for being second choice, stuff it !!!!! Also hearing this movie will get Oscar attention. So stuff it again !!!! Hey, I'm actually enjoying this.
Your right Silis was supposed to be Kristen she actually didnt have a movie this was one of the 2 films she tunrned down when she got back with Rob. Then after Rob ended it Mia decided shed rather have the few days work with Cron she told Silis shed changed her mind on Silis
The company re asked Kristen she yes so they changed shedule till after Kristens Camp XRay
Thats why the films were back to back with only 3/4 days break in between. MIa wont be popular!
Kristen will be seen by the European film companies as being a had worker this film which probably wont be seen in USA except in certain cinemas BUT dont forget Europe@UK has far more people than USA so her film work in Franco film with JB and other huge European stars
Be a huge opening for her if she chooses to cash in on the experiance bet she loves the freedom
It could well be up for FOREN film Oscar who knows? Just being in a film thats Oscar worthy YAY!
Hello Margaret, first I want to thank you for being a fan of Kstew—I am a hugh fan, always have been, especially after seeing her in Panic Room, anyway I am not the bright lite when I try getting info on Kristen, can you tell me who JB is? I see Kristen becoming a great actress like Meryl, Katherine, even Bette. Love to you Kristen and thanks MITP
JUliette Binoche who is one of France and Europes foremost actresses She follows in the steps
Of Catherine Denurve Go to Wikapedia they have actually the best info and all her 38 films
I think in a few years Kristen will go in to behind the camera Shes a multimilionaress
She has residule from every Twi from New Moon onwards clever girl
So as long as Twis are bought she will continue to reap the rewards
Take care x

Hi @Just sayin…isn't it great! One of the eight film producers, Charles Gillibert, himself commented on Alt Film Guide…"KS was 1st choice, she was still committed on another movie on our dates, so MW jumped in but was linked to Disney in case they would launch and they did, so we came back to KS with a new schedule and she accepted" :-)
She trashed herself
Posted at 3:46 AM on September 26, 2013
This movie will get no attention and no nominations for Kristen, just like she got snubbed for OTR. Hollywood doesn't like her, she can only get small parts in foreign films no one in the US will even see. She screwed her career when she chose to screw Rupert Sanders.
Her glory days are over, her 15 minutes are about up.
Posted at 1:45 PM on September 26, 2013
Small part shes second lead still filming 8 weeks on while other actors have finished/
Shes just made Camp Xray Shes making Ayra in the New Year American girl has been rejigged
Kristen has been asked for that too then another one T88 knows what its clled? Then SNW summer 2014 YES theres a rumour CH may not be available because hes got Avngers and Thor
But people in the know have said they are thinking they can add a UK actor as HMANS younger brother everyones replacable EXCEPT SNW AKA KRISTEN
Sorry STH HW loves her hence her films wheres Robs NONE

So sad, but recently read an interview with one of the jurors that he very wish that Stewart was in NYC with them in the jury. They supposedly much try to persuade her. But she is still filming in Italy in early October. So I do not know if we'll see Krist in NYC. I would really was glad, though.
Not surprised films hardly run to plan CAMP XRAY over ran by 10days AND filmed in one place. Silis is filmed in Berlin Leipzeig Switzerland and indoor stuff in France . Could be middle of October
Dind t know she was filming in Italy boy shes moving around must be a big Budget European Film Well done her and stupid Mia turning it down for few days work with Cron but maybe Rob was the draw card? Has been reported that JB asked Kris to come to Paris after filming meet and greet?
Be great for her. Her pals seem to have vanished maybe they are still in Berlin or gone to UK?
Theyve not been seen with her since Berlin Maybe shes feeling more confident I hope she is
Posted at 8:31 AM on September 25, 2013
The picture of Kristen & Rupert the troll is for the SWATH release. I have never seen her in something that unattractive. Now that rob is completely out of her life and has a grilfriend maybe we won't see them in the same articles again. and maybe the jealous haters will be satisfied that they have him all to themselves…. It would make us Kristen fans really happy….. Can't wait to see her in New York…know she will do a good job and she won't be distracted

i like to know why people who see those old pictures with Rupert sanders don't known that they real from the past.and how come people are always calling Kristen Stewart names and don't have everything to say about Rupert Sanders from the beginning everybody has been on Kristen Stewart Back .and I do want to know why is Robert Pattinson saying this now ,when in the past the Report ask about his Relationship and he keep his mouth close and everybody said that he was a good guy and now that people has started to put all that mess be hide them Robert Pattinson being it back into the news ,So i say how nice guy is he
some of you bloggers are idiots ===that picture of Kristen wearing black & white same as RS was for promotion of SWATH over a year ago– HWL has nothing else to do except hate on Kristen and stir up BS—–Kristen is still in Europe filming, the she goes to NY. HWL says that Rob is totally fine and moving on HOW IN THE HELL DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON BETWEEN THEM—HWL for sure doesn't know if they communicate or not—besides it is none of their or our business—let these two work it out themselves, they don't need the nasty,
vulgar comments made by children who haven't experienced adult life, nor do they need mean comments by any adults either, I am sure many of you have made mistakes–leave them both alone–Please I am a true fan of their
if I may.

Nike SB January/February 2015 Preview by Patrick Johnson 3 Comments
July 31, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 2
Veteran Nike Skateboarding rider Brian Anderson has his first signature shoe since the Savier days in the new model pictured above. The Nike SB Project BA sees the longtime Dunk and Blazer devotee move back toward a more technical shoe, though this design is quite sleek as compared to the bulky tech that dominated the early 2000s skate scene. The lightweight LunarLon cushion has proven perfect for all kinds of board pushers, and this bold Photo Blue colorway is sure to draw attention with the Team Orange lightning bolts that set off outlined side Swooshes. Check out the first Project BA Premium in more images below, then grab yours from select SB shops including Premier.

History of NADS
Meeting the Needs of the Underserved in the Down Syndrome Community
During the late 1990s NADS became aware that some of our children with Down syndrome had additional diagnoses, such as Autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. After doing some research, we decided to develop a program focusing on the needs of these children and their families, who were feeling very isolated; some even expressed that they didn't feel welcome in the Down syndrome support system because of their child's challenging behaviors.
Family Behavior Retreat
Beginning in 1998, NADS provided a weekend retreat for families whose child with Down syndrome had an additional diagnosis, such as Autism or ADHD. The Family Behavior Retreat was usually held in the spring of each year. During the Retreat, children were cared for by experienced respite workers and spent the weekend engaged in fun activities, such as swimming and music therapy, while parents focused on learning new ways to help their child. We kept the numbers small so that we could provide a nurturing environment for families.
The Retreat was offered as a way for families who were under a great deal of stress to have a respite from the demands of their daily lives. For the children we ensured a one-on-one ratio of respite workers to children in order to ensure that the children could safely enjoy the activities planned for them. For parents, we provided a variety of experienced professionals who addressed issues of concern to them and who gave them practical strategies for coping with the communication and behavioral challenges of their child. Many wonderful professionals were very helpful and generous with their time - two who came back year after year were Dr. Lou Weiss and Dr. Michael Feld. We also brought families together who might not otherwise have had a chance to meet; the retreat made it possible for them to share their stories and find support and encouragement from each other.
In recent years, the format of the retreat has changed to one-day programs held more frequently to enable more families to participate.
Serving the Hispanic Community
Even though NADS had been training Spanish-speaking support volunteers for many years and some of our materials, including our booklet for new parents, "A Baby First," were available in Spanish, we realized that the needs in the Hispanic community were not being adequately met, and in 2005, we hired a Bi-lingual Coordinator to help us better serve these families. We developed the following programs to help us address their needs:
In 2005 NADS developed a pilot program to help improve and expand our services to Spanish speaking families in the Chicago metropolitan area. This was an important step because more than 25% of all new families we served that year were Hispanic, and the number was increasing. This pilot program was then incorporated into our regular services when our Bi-lingual Coordinator became a member of our staff. She now works closely with new parents, and she also provides educational advocacy.
Our booklet A Baby First has been published in Spanish for many years and our brochures are also available in Spanish. In addition to training bi-lingual support volunteers for many years we have conducted training sessions for those who only speak Spanish, and they are available to work with our new families.
NADS conferences have also included workshops in Spanish, and we provided translation services for the general sessions.

Related: Religious groups weigh in on Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling
What does the ruling mean to me?
The Supreme Court decision upholding President Barack Obama's health care law affects nearly every American. The law tells almost everyone they must have health coverage and guarantees it will be available to them even if they are already ill or need hugely expensive care. It helps the poor and many middle-class people afford coverage.
What the justices said
The high court upheld almost all of the law, including the most disputed part: the mandate that virtually all Americans have health insurance or pay a fine. The court said that fine is essentially a tax, and that's why the government has the power to impose it.
The ruling limited the law's plan to expand the Medicaid insurance program for the poor, a joint effort of the federal government and states. It says the U.S. government cannot withhold a state's entire Medicaid allotment if it doesn't participate in the expansion.
Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court's four liberal justices — Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor — to form the 5-4 majority.
Huge political impact
The court upheld Obama's signature legislative achievement. Final word from the court amplifies the most polarizing issue of his re-election campaign against Republican Mitt Romney.
GOP lawmakers and Romney have promised to repeal the law if they are in power after the November election.
What now?
The 2010 health care law will keep taking effect. It's expected to bring coverage to about 30 million uninsured people. Overall, more than 9 in 10 eligible Americans will be covered.
Some parts are already in effect: Young adults can stay on their parents' insurance up to age 26. Insurers can't deny coverage to children with health problems. Limits on how much policies will pay out to each person over a lifetime are eliminated. Hundreds of older people already are saving money through improved Medicare prescription benefits. And co-payments for preventive care for all ages have been eliminated.
What's next?
Starting in 2014, almost everyone will be required to be insured or pay a fine. There are subsidies to help people who can't afford coverage. Most employers will face fines if they don't offer coverage for their workers. Newly created insurance markets will make it easier for individuals and small businesses to buy affordable coverage. And Medicaid will be expanded to cover more low-income people.
Insurers will be prohibited from denying coverage to people with medical problems or charging those people more. They won't be able to charge women more, either. During the transition to 2014, a special program for people with pre-existing health problems helps these people get coverage.

The EFF has an important
on the potential impact of CISPA - the the Cyber Intelligence Sharing
