Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have started working from home for the last few months. It's a call center job, and the main drawback was that the employer gave me a really basic wired headset. I knew there was a way to fix that. So I got myself this wireless headset, which works wonders all around the house! I can't think of anything bad about it, except maybe the initial setup but even then the instructions are clear enough to get around that. I can walk all around the house with this headset, so you can count around 150 feet in any direction, even through two floors.The battery is also very good, I don't have any trouble going through a whole 8 hours shift without recharging it.The base is pretty nice and seems pretty solid, however the phone wire that came with is seems a little short. You will not have much to place the base where you really want it. I would like to advise you to one special setting: Use what they call Multiple Shifts or something like that. It's the "II" setting on the up/down switch on the right of the base, facing to you. That will make the headset and the base reconnect together automatically instead of you always having to press the "connect" button on the headset. Like that you won't miss the first few calls of your shift inadvertently!

If I were writing from the other side,
I would say
This road was not on my map.
No one goes there
on purpose.
And then tell you how
I escaped.
I asked for help, for change,
and grief was the answer:
Grief as old and hollow as snowfall,
grief as heavy
as snowfall,
grief that said, "You,
You are the spent ember,
You are the last angry voice
and when you pass
the dark
will have been waiting."
The grief was right. I burn,
I burn cold and heavy,
crouching in the ashes of greatness,
I burn,
and the fuel is low.
The dark is waiting.
But what angel comes
with words of despair? Even Job
had no angels to tell him, "Alas."
This road is not on my map.
No one comes here
on purpose.
Even the locals don't know
where I am.
My signal fire is tired.
Bleary-eyed, reading coals
in case I wrote an answer,
in case no one comes.
I would like to be writing
from the other side. To be saying,
What a funny place I have been. Let me tell you.
Now the map burns.
I will keep the dark

Anyone been to Halo?
Yeah stinkies do kinda alternative music like that, i aint been but a bunch of my mates go fairly often said its the *******s. Mint is the place for the druggies tho or when hospitality is on at the 02, i was there the other day and literally by 11.30 everyone was off their faces, shirtless and drinking water like it was going out of fashion.
There are loads of girls in my flat and they love halo so we used to go there all the time. Full of birds but i think they have one CD so every night you hear the same stuff, except at the back where its a bit hit and miss. ****ing cheap on a monday tho, 1 pound in and a quid for most drinks. Worth going to once but its got a proper studenty crowd except on saturday which can be ****ing annoying.
That stuff about Call Lane is bang on, the music and the atmosphere is better there than anywhere ive been on a regular basis. My cousin lives in them flats above pure gym/zizzis so they know all the staff and owners which is quality.
Good news about shooters ill try get down pretty early otherwise it usually gets packed, maybe go revs/o2 after they do a decent night on saturday.

Writting such software is very expensive in peoples time. I don't think it should be free. Perhaps it should be cheaper thought, like maybe $10.

By MICHAEL FALCONE (@michaelpfalcone)
ABC's JEFF ZELENY: As the Republican National Committee gathers in Washington for its annual winter meeting, the mood is considerably brighter for party activists than it was only a year ago when President Obama was opening his second term and the GOP was licking its wounds. Party leaders believe this mid-term election year will be a good one for Republicans. They know they will hold their House majority and feel bullish about their chances of winning the six seats needed to take control of the Senate. There is a consensus that the biggest obstacle is the internal strife still smoldering inside the party, where one or two off-message candidates can topple others. The RNC has always tried to steer clear of refereeing these fights, but they will try to impose discipline to the degree that they can. One state chairman, echoing the sentiment of others, told me: "Only we can screw this up this time."
ABC's RICK KLEIN: The first mechanical pieces of the 2016 presidential campaign fall into place today in Washington, at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting. The focus will be compressing the primary calendar and moving up the convention date – decisions with big consequences for what outside groups can spend money on and when, and that could impact the contours of the GOP presidential field itself. For a party still grappling with internal divisions, any changes will be viewed skeptically by those outside the establishment (and therefore mostly far from the Renaissance hotel this week). This week's changes, though, will be easy to digest compared to efforts to limit and control the primary debates. That has the potential to blow up into something far bigger – and, of course, to again force the eventual Republican nominee into tough places far in advance of the next convention.
TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE: President Obama has a light schedule today. He will deliver remarks at a reception with U.S. Mayors this evening, ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ notes. Vice President Joe Biden will deliver keynote remarks at Families USA's 19th Annual Health Action Conference this morning. He will also meet with members of the County Sheriffs'Association and the National Sheriffs' Association later in the morning and with U.S. Mayors in the afternoon. First Lady Michelle Obama will announce a new partnership with Subway this morning to offer healthier food items for children. As the AP reports, their children's menu will mirror federal lunch standards, offering apples on the side and setting water and non-fat milk as the default beverages.
OBAMA TACKLES COLLEGE SEX ASSAULTS AS DAD, PRESIDENT. For President Obama, combating sexual assault in the U.S., particularly in college communities, isn't just part of his job as president. It's also one of his top priorities as a dad, ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ reports. "This is a priority for me, not only as president and commander in chief but as a husband and a father of two extraordinary girls," the president said at the White House Wednesday. "You can judge a nation and how successful it will be based on how it treats its women and its girls. Those nations that are successful, they're successful in part because women and girls are valued," he said. "I'm determined that by that measure, the United States of America will be the global leader." President Obama signed a memorandum Wednesday to establish the White House Task Force on Protecting Students from Sexual Assault, an effort to curb the number of sexual assaults on college campuses. A report from the White House Council on Women and Girls says that one in five women is sexually assaulted while they attend college. "I want every young man in America to feel some strong peer pressure in terms of how they are supposed to behave and treat women," the president said. "We need to encourage young people, men and women, to realize that sexual assault is simply unacceptable, and they're going to have to summon the bravery to stand up and say so, especially when the social pressure to keep quiet or to go along can be very intense." http://abcn.ws/1eBsnvk
THOUSANDS MARCH THROUGH SNOWY WASHINGTON FOR ANTI-ABORTION RIGHT RALLY. Numbing cold didn't stop thousands of anti-abortion activists from descending on the nation's capital today for their annual "March for Life." The demonstration falls each year on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 decision to legalize abortion in Roe v. Wade, ABC's MATTHEW LAROTONDA notes. But with unusually frigid temperatures hovering between 14 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit today, picketing through D.C.'s slushy streets from the National Mall to the judiciary was more like a trudge. Hoisted signs with slogans like "Defend Life" and "Equal Rights 4 Unborn Women" were held aloft by gloves concealing hand warmers. Speaking with the snowy U.S. Capitol behind her, March for Life president Jeanne Monahan spoke on this year's theme of adoption as an alternative to abortion. "When a woman is facing an unexpected pregnancy and she makes the choice to be a birthmother, she is being a heroic mother in the truest sense because she is making the ultimate sacrifice out of love for her child. In doing so she also helps another family embrace life," she said. http://abcn.ws/1eeyjYh
PRESIDENTIAL PANEL SETS GOAL FOR FUTURE ELECTIONS: WAIT 30 MINUTES OR LESS TO VOTE. The election commission appointed by President Obama revealed new recommendations Wednesday to reform the voting process and shorten lines at polling locations, specifically concluding that every American voter should not have to wait longer than 30 minutes to vote, according to ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ. The Presidential Election Commission Administration's recommendations include an expansion of online voter registration; updating and coordinating voter registration lists between states to increase accuracy; expansion of early voting by mail ballots or in person; improving the ability of military and voters overseas to access ballots; and using schools as polling places. The commission also called for an examination and update of aging equipment used by voters to cast their ballots. The president praised the commission's findings, saying they have set "an important goal which is that no American should have to wait more than half an hour to vote, and they should know, they should be confident that their vote is being properly counted and is secure." http://abcn.ws/1mGMYTk
ADDING UP BOB AND MAUREEN MCDONNELL'S VIRGINIA SHOPPING SPREE. Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has already admitted to receiving and not disclosing gifts from former Star Scientific CEO and donor Jonnie Williams over the course of several years. But the federal indictment slapping McDonnell and wife Maureen with corruption charges provides some eye-popping details on just how much of an extravagant lifestyle the McDonnell's allegedly leaned on Williams to pay for. From shopping sprees at high-priced designer stores to thousands in golf expenses and merchandise, the amount Williams eagerly shelled out to the couple and their family is impressive. Here's ABC's ABBY PHILLIPS' handy guide to some of the tens of thousands in goodies, gifts, checks and leisure the McDonnell family allegedly enjoyed courtesy of one very wealthy businessman: http://abcn.ws/1dVsQsT
GAY CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST: 'NO HOPE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.' Gay political activist Jimmy LaSalvia is having a loud and public breakup with the GOP. Before announcing last week that he is leaving the Republican Party to become an independent -pointing to "tolerance of bigotry" within the GOP in his parting blog post - LaSalvia was a veteran GOP operative and activist, known for co-founding the conservative gay rights group GOProud. LaSalvia sat down with "Top Line" to discuss his dramatic departure and explained that he has "no hope for the Republican Party." "No matter how good your autopsy … the changes the Republican Party is implementing really amount to nothing more than lipstick on a pig," he said. "It was the Romney campaign that really got me to understand just how severe the problem is. … It's a culture of intolerance that I don't think any amount of messaging or policy changes can fix." For more on LaSalvia's split from the GOP, check out this episode of "Top Line" with ABC's RICK KLEIN and OLIVIER KNOX: http://yhoo.it/1aLQcQz

Mellanox Introduces The "Generation Of Open Ethernet" First Open Switch Initiative
Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX; TASE: MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today launched the " Generation of Open Ethernet" initiative, an alternative approach to traditional closed-code Ethernet switches, which provides customers with full flexibility and freedom to custom-design their data center in order to optimize utilization, efficiency and overall return on investment. With this new approach, Mellanox is taking Software Defined Networking (SDN) to the next level and opening the source code on top of its existing Ethernet switch hardware.
For years, Ethernet switch vendors have locked down their solutions, providing no choice or flexibility for their users. In the era of cloud computing and Web 2.0 applications, IT managers must control their data center network in order to achieve higher levels of utilization and scalability. The trend of open source traditionally focused only on operating systems, standards and applications. Mellanox is taking this initiative and is leading the "Generation of Open Ethernet" to enable the next era of open data centers by expanding open source into the data center infrastructure.
The market's move toward SDN and open source networking offers a variety of advantages that help drive data center productivity currently not found with traditional proprietary software. Today's OpenFlow and SDN implementations are not delivering on the promise, since vendors continue to lock their networking OS, providing a narrow SDN API to some of the Ethernet switch's functionality. Mellanox Open Ethernet is the only framework that eliminates proprietary software and encourages the development of an ecosystem environment focused on building Ethernet switch software to move innovation forward. Open Ethernet also includes the capability to fully customize, through the open code, a variety of open source management software packages, support standard OpenFlow controllers, and more. Open Ethernet is supported on Mellanox's 10/20/40/56GbE switches, with forward compatibility to future Mellanox Ethernet solutions.

[IMAGE]Swift-station-people-full.jpg[/IMAGE]On Sunday, Nov. 29, Snohomish County, Wash.-based Community Transit will host a public celebration to launch Swift into service. The party will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Crossroads Swift Station at Highway 99 and 196th Street in Lynnwood. The first Swift buses will begin service after the event, with free rides until midnight.Swift will begin its regular weekday service at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 30."Transit service will be a little more exciting and a lot quicker with Swift," said Community Transit CEO Joyce Eleanor. "From the distinctive hybrid Swift buses to the easily identifiable stations to the idea of off board fare collection, Swift brings a new experience to the state."About 100 transit fans will take the official inaugural rides on Swift buses from the Aurora Village Transit Center to the Swift launch celebration on Sunday. The family event will include carnival games, face painting, balloon animals, a photo booth, live music and Community Transit's super hero, Oxy Gene. Two Swift buses will be on hand for people to tour.Swift will operate on a 17-mile corridor in Snohomish County between Everett Station and the Aurora Village Transit Center in Shoreline, primarily along Highway 99. Buses will run every 10 minutes weekdays and every 20 minutes at night and on weekends. Swift service runs until midnight seven nights a week.Swift will stop at just 12 stations in each direction and riders will pay their fare at the stations, using ticket vending machines or ORCA smart cards. Onboard bike racks, transit signal priority to extend a green light and transit access lanes in south Snohomish County are additional features to keep Swift buses moving.Community Transit staff will be at each Swift station throughout the first few days of service to answer questions. Getting riders used to paying fares at the station, not onboard the bus, is expected to be the biggest challenge."Riders must remember to pay their fare as soon as they get to the Swift station because the bus will not be stopped for long," said Eleanor. "This is very different from the current way people ride buses, but it is essential to keep this service swift. If people use an ORCA card, it will be even easier."Earlier this year Community Transit adopted a fare enforcement policy that allows for citations up to $124 for people caught riding buses without paying their fare. On Swift, riders will randomly be asked to show their proof of fare payment.
While Founder Matt George is interested in connecting Capitol Hill, K Street and Dupont Circle, it's not yet clear if those will be the neighborhoods Bridj starts with. The start-up is encouraging interested customers to request specific routes on its website
The contract for 110 XN40 buses contains a firm order for 52 buses with options for an additional 58 buses and is valued at approximately $53 million dollars.
Des Moines Area Regional Transit's 60-foot low floor articulated buses will replace high-floor buses and include newly installed ramps, remanufactured power trains, transmissions, engines and brakes. It will also be equipped with two ADA compliant wheelchair lifts.
The agency rolled out real-time data on MetroRapid and MetroRail last year, receiving strong positive feedback from customers.
The 80-seat coach, offering its riders comfy excursions with spectacular views — particularly to and from San Francisco — made its first cruise on the Line U, from Fremont to Stanford University, before being deployed on other daily routes.

May also be called: Swollen Lymph Nodes; Swollen Lymph Glands; Lymph Gland Infection; Lymph Node Infection
Lymphadenitis (lim-fad-uh-NIE-tis) is inflammation of a lymph node caused by an infection of the tissue in the node.
The lymphatic system, which runs throughout the body, is part of the immune system. It helps to fight off infections by eliminating things like bacteria, viruses, and fungi from the body. Lymph nodes are small structures that filter foreign materials from a fluid called lymph. They're found all along the lymphatic system and are most evident in the neck, armpit, and groin.
Lymphadenitis can be a complication of many different infections and is usually found in the area of an infection, inflammation, or tumor.
Lymphadenitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection that can be easily treated with an antibiotic. When the cause of the lymphadenitis is treated, the inflammation in the lymph nodes should go away.

Drought slowing Old Faithful
(Read article summary)A reduction in the geyser's water supply is causing the longer waits between eruptions.
Maybe they'll need to start calling it Old Fickle.
Yellowstone National Park's most famous geyser, Old Faithful, has been slowing down of late. In 1997, the geyser erupted on average every 71 minutes. In 2006, it erupted every 91 minutes. Shaul Hurwitz, a researcher with the US Geological Survey, has found that drought is to blame.
Working with Stanford University statistician Ashish Kumar and two scientists from the National Park Service, Mr. Hurwitz discovered that a reduction in the geyser's water supply is causing the longer waits between eruptions. Their study, published in the journal Geology, found that the length of the intervals may be influenced by the amount of water that has seeped into the geyser's underground plumbing system.
The amount of water in the system depends on rainfall. As a press release from the USGS puts it:
Multi-year precipitation records also strongly correlate with geyser behavior. Based on these results, the study proposes that an extended drought should result in longer intervals between eruptions, and perhaps even cessation of activity in some geysers. In contrast, in years with high precipitation, eruption intervals should be more frequent.

NMSU Aggies Prepare for SDSU
New Mexico State is one of the final college football teams to start the season, and the Aggies will do so this Saturday at Aggie Memorial Stadium against San Diego State. DeWayne Walker and NMSU lost to San Diego State 34-17 last season, and the coach says not much has changed. "It's a challenge, but when I look at them offensively, it's no disrespect, but it's the same offense. They have the same guys, and I'm sure they think they are better offensively, but we think we're better too." NMSU defender Donte Savage is excited to open up the season, finally. "Playing the first game of the year is going to be fun. We have been waiting a long time for this, and it's going to be my third year here, so I am looking forward to going out there and competing again against somebody different."

Teen sailor Abby Sunderland: I'll try again to conquer the globe
Teen sailor Abby Sunderland has done more by age 16 than most people do in their entire lives. A winter storm ended her solo sail around the world, but she's apparently not through yet.
Like an adventurer from a different time, California teen sailor Abby Sunderland remained undaunted Saturday, saying she will try again to solo the globe even after a winter storm in the Indian ocean broke the rigging on her 40-foot Wild Eyes sailboat.
On board a French fishing vessel that plucked Ms. Sunderland off the deck of her broken boat, the 16-year-old from Thousand Oaks, Calif., said the dismasting and subsequent rescue – a story that played around the globe – hasn't deflated her drive to sail around the world.
"I'm definitely going to sail around the world again, or at least give it another try," she said, according to Australian broadcaster ABC.
On Saturday, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority confirmed that Sunderland had been rescued more than 2,000 miles from the coast of Western Australia, two days after she lost communications and sent a distress signal.
Older sailors say her attempt to cross the Indian Ocean in winter was foolhardy. She faced 70-knot winds and waves three stories tall last week. Apparently a rogue wave flipped the boat, destroying the rigging and the keel. Sunderland was reportedly in fine shape after her rescue, only a "slight shake" in her voice, according to her mom, Marianne Sunderland.

4.5 GT on the Xbox Lexington | 06/01/2011 | See all Lexington's reviews (7) A fantastic driving game, graphics, sound, driving dynamics, AI are all excellent and the game provides as much fun as a driving simulator as Gran Turismo.
4.5 Amazing racing game, way better than Gran Turismo. thegingerreaper | 09/11/2010 | See all thegingerreaper's reviews (1) The graphics are stunning, the cars sound great and the customization works well. I love the store front I buy loads of liveries on there. All in all a very good racing game for anyone to play. A must buy for a racing fan. Try a get a racing wheel thou, lot more fun with one.
4.5 Great game 230494 | 05/11/2010 | See all 230494's reviews (1) Great game. Awesome, realistic cars. Each one is tunable and customiseable. Lots of DLC Packs available. I would buy the new Complete Collection version if I didn't have this one as it has ALL the DLC Packs on the discs and Stig's Garage Car Pack + more. 5 Star game *****
4.5 THE BEST XBOX 360 RACING GAME EVER gadgetboy1999 | 13/10/2010 | See all gadgetboy1999's reviews (2) This is the best racing game on xbox 360 i have ever had. Its got excellent graphics and really realistic game play and loads of cars. DEFINETLY 10/10.
4.5 Mixed feelings amun82 | 26/08/2010 | See all amun82's reviews (8) I have to say I have mixed feelings with this game. I have spent some considerable amount of time with this game and I have been left with the feeling of distaste in the end.It started beautifully though, I was very impressed by the gorgeous, detailed and shiny cars, impressive scenery, very responsive model of driving & controls and long list of available cars. Good start & great foundations. But the initial excitement fizzled out with time. I came to a conclusion that this game has not got "the entertaining factor", there is no competition between cars no thrilling moments (or too few). It just you and a road (no interaction with cars). Sometimes it feels like you are going for a Sunday drive for a picnic with a family rather than an exciting race. If you like to compete with yourself or against time than great otherwise this game may not be for you. For contrast NFS Shift or Drift has what Forza 3 lacks, roughness and aggressiveness, competition and excitement. Saying this Forza 3 is not a bad game if you are a racing game fan you should at least try it out. It deserves it; a lot of effort has been put into this game.
4.5 THE GREATEST DRIVING GAME ..........EVER!! jh230377 | 19/08/2010 | See all jh230377's reviews (139) Absoloutley Fantastic. I cannot tell you how much of a great game this is. I have been unable to put this down since bying it. There are dozens of cars & tracks to choose from in single player & it gets even better online. Just buy it. Simple as!!
4.5 The best. For now. TOCAfan | 25/07/2010 | See all TOCAfan's reviews (10) I think that this is the best "proper" racing game available for consoles at the moment (and I have all 3 current gen consoles and a huge collection of racing games).Superb online (you are not able to set up your own public lobbies though, so it's best to play it with your mates or check out the official website forums for other people to race with). Good online community of mostly friendly and clean-racing people.Handling is superb and the racing is great, even off-line where you have access to a rewind button that lets you go back and correct mistakes, just like GRID.The livery editor can be used to create some incredible designs, if you have the talent.This really is the best racer out there, until GT5 comes out. Just have to wait and see who's best!
4.5 What a top class Racing game BboyBal | 07/07/2010 | See all BboyBal's reviews (2) This is by far one of the best simulation racing games out on the Xbox 360. Just got a copy of the game recently and i have not stopped playing it. For all the hardcore racers out there this is definitely a game to buy and to keep in that long haul collection of Xbox 360 great titles. 5 * game :)

Statement From Rick Ross
April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In response
to the continuing controversy over some recent lyrics of his, recording artist
Rick Ross issued the following statement today:
"Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize. I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it's wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it."

""Not everything can fly. We will not install a swimming pool or a fireplace. That is not possible.""
Legacy 500 Program Moves Forward
On December 23, Embraer rolled out the first midsize Legacy 500 from the production hangar at the company's São José dos Campos, Brazil headquarters. "This is a significant day for the Legacy 500 program," said Embraer Executive Jets vice president of programs Maurício Almeida. "Releasing the aircraft from production to the test team will allow us to gather vital information during ground tests, which will be used to shorten the flight-test campaign." The Legacy 500 is scheduled to fly in the third quarter. Embraer expects the jet, which boasts a 3,000-nautical-mile range, to be certified in Brazil late next year, with approvals from other aviation authorities to follow. We had a full report on the Legacy 500 in the December 2011/January 2012 issue of BJT.

Beautiful work May the owner carry it with confidence but never need to use it.--be safe out there!!
As an "old" 1911 fan I'd love to do that to my 1970's vintage Commander, but the thought of putting it into a box and letting it be entrusted to a bunch of nameless FedEX employees, does not bear thinking about

Isabell 2009 with cair
Dressage SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Wintec
Model: Isabell 2009 with cair
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I purchased on the internet from a tack store. It was about $850 and then the gullet kit was around $100. The company that I purchased it from was very nice and they wanted to make sure that I'd be ok with a miniscule scratch on the underside, so they added a free cover with it. This was my first dressage saddle purchase.
Likes: Perhaps the number one thing is that I really liked is the materials it's made from and how grippy it is. It's been about 6 months and it still looks brand new. It's easy to care for and lightweight. I liked in general how the billets were. I really liked the extended stirrup bar. Wintec is an innovative company and the price was right.
Dislikes: For me, I almost had trouble sitting down into it. It was a 17 1/2 and perhaps it was too small and the twist might have been too wide. (Note that the deep seats fit around a 1/2 inch smaller than a regular saddle). As an adult, I probably needed an 18 inch, which might have helped. I'm more of a beginner and on the narrow side. I also had a hard time fitting it to my narrow Arabian. The measuring and changing gullets was rather challenging. They need to have more teaching videos on their website. I tried to get help from the local tack shop. While they could help me change the gullets, they couldn't help me in fitting my horse. I think that this is a very common with tack shops. There is a real lack of knowledge about fitting. Also it was hard to get a hold of people at the parent company. I finally did though. I asked if saddles with cair could have flocking added to fit better, they said only very, very little. So basically not. They also have inserts, but I'm guessing that these are for only very slight adjustments. It's like if you have a hard to fit horse, you cannot really make big adjustments except for the gullets.
Quality: Excellent
Summary: I really wanted to love this saddle, however between me and my hard to fit horse it didn't happen. I would probably go with the flocking if I was doing it again. However, I'm still grateful to the company for coming up with innovative ideas and materials. Hopefully they will continue to do so.

5/5/12 Summit Point Practice
Had some problems breaking shots before gun was properly aligned with target. Need to experiment with Hack/ProOp sights to see how far left/right in notch I can still get accurate hits.
5/5/12 Summit Point Practice

Time to breathe some life back into my journal.
I got a new gun.
photo (17).jpg
Apparently, CZs don't like aluminum cased ammo. I had three failures to eject in a single box of Blazer, but 100 rounds of Federal Champion and 50 rounds of 124 gr +p Gold Dot ran well. I read some reports that an extra power extractor spring and/or polishing the extractor will get CZs to eat aluminum cased ammo, which is good since I just took delivery of 5K of Blazer.
My first range session was more fam-fire than dedicated training due to limited time and the unfamiliar gun, but so far I'm very pleased with the way the gun shoots.
If you went to the gun shop before the election, the selection would have been better.
J/K. I hope you enjoy it.

4/26/13 NRA Range Practice
After shooting the DotW so poorly at the KSTG match on Tuesday, I decided to reshoot it at the beginning of my practice session.
5.35 1.83/.82/1.80/.29/.31/.30
4.85 1.62/.61/1.87/.26/.23/.26
The four body shots were in a one inch group on the lower left edge of the eight inch circle. Three of the shots were actually touching and had cut through the edge of the circle, so it was difficult to score. I'm kind of flabbergasted as to how this happend, but I didn't really see my sights much because I failed to do a press-out after the reload.
I then worked on 5 shot draws at 5 yards to an eight inch circle to get used to the different recoil and trigger characteristics of the P30 after not shooting it for 2 months.
On the fourth round of a 5 shot draw I had what I think was a case head separation, though I couldn't find the case. A very large fireball came out of the ejection port. It was large enough that it was noticed by the ROs who were in the booth about 20 feet behind me. The magazine stayed in the gun and there was no noticeable frag. I disassembled and inspected the gun, but didn't find any cracking or bulging, so I shot another 50 rounds through the pistol before leaving the range. The round was a 115gr CCI Blazer TMJ (Lot #3510).
On Saturday I shot another 100 rounds through the gun with no problems.
Tonight I finally thoroughly cleaned the gun and noticed some strange marks on the top of the chamber.
I'm not sure if this was there before because the gun hasn't been cleaned recently, but I'm thinking that I should probably send the gun back to HK.

An opportunity for student composers, lyricists, and playwrights to collaborate in adapting dramatic scenes into songs for the musical stage. Students write and perform their original work in a class setting and critique the work of their peers with supervision from the instructor. Students also discuss and analyze major works from the musical theater and opera repertoire. The class emphasizes storytelling and dramatic writing through song, promotes innovation, and is open to writers of diverse musical styles.
A hands-on songwriting class that will allow students to put their social change ideas into rhyme, while also surveying songs in different eras and cultures throughtout the 20th century that promoted social change and/or illustrated social phenomenon particular to that era and culture. Benefit concert events like Live Aid and the Concert for Bangladesh that brought about awareness of prominent issues will also be explored. Notable songs which had impact on social change will be analyzed (e.g. Imagine, Get Up, Stand Up, Strange Fruit) and prominent activist songwriters will be profiled (such as Bob Dylan, Bono, Bob Marley, Michael Franti, and Bob Geldof). Throughout the semester, students will have an opportunity to experiment with different writing topics and settings. There will be weekly writing assignments, as well as documentary screenings. Guest speakers and visiting artists will be invited to participate when available.
The songwriting major will learn the necessary techniques to utilize current MIDI and audio technology in the production of professional-quality song demos, including intermediate to advanced skills and concepts of MIDI, synthesis, multitrack recording, mixing, and sound processing. Building on technology skills, this course will focus on musical approaches to the effective assembly and arranging of sound materials using a music-writing workstation. In addition to class meetings, students will be expected to schedule weekly supervised individual hands-on time for practice and assignments in the Professional Writing MIDI Lab.
This course provides detailed study of professional song production in a range of popular styles, allowing students to understand what makes a successful track work. Using successful tracks as standards for artistic and musical reference, students, by means of a hands-on approach, will develop and integrate a variety of synthesis techniques and DSP applications to creatively enhance their original song productions.
This course allows songwriters to record and produce their demos, to interact with live musicians and a recording engineer under the guidance of the instructor, and to find the best working methods to get their songs recorded professionally. Class members will either sing their original songs themselves (required of singer/songwriters) or provide a suitable vocalist. During the semester, each songwriter will record/have recorded two of his/her songs, and will be present to observe and learn from recordings of other class members. In addition to registering for this course, the student must also attend meetings of ENPP-303 Rhythm Track for Songwriters.
A workshop for singer/songwriters in which students write and perform their own material. Emphasis is placed on the song as the vehicle through which the singer/songwriter expresses his or her persona to the audience. Performances are videotaped, and songs and performances are critiqued.
Individualized instruction designed to guide students majoring in songwriting in the preparation of their intermediate-level writing projects, including songs demonstrating certain required proficiencies, notation, and the ability to make a representative recording of their songs.
Students will explore methods of musical storytelling and incorporating a larger dramatic arc to their vision; develop songwriting approaches for dramatic contexts; gain further experience in collaborative songwriting and scene writing; improve skills of giving/receiving peer feedback as a tool in the writing process; learn project management techniques on a large-scale project; and gain appreciation of professional possibilities in musical theater writing, a vibrant and vital contemporary American art form. Through ancillary rehearsals, students learn to prepare accurate scores and hand-off scores to a pianist/music director and actors.
Monitored and evaluated professional work experience in an environment related to the songwriting major. Placement is limited to situations available from or approved by the Office of Experiential Learning and the Songwriting Department chair or a designee. To apply for an internship, students must see the internship coordinator in the Office of Experiential Learning prior to registering. Note: Equivalent credit for prior experience is not available due to the requirement of concurrent contract between the employer/supervisor and the college. International students in F-1 status must obtain authorization on their Form I-20 from the Counseling and Advising Center prior to beginning an internship.
A Pro Tools course for students with intermediate DAW skills and interest in producing MIDI-based recordings. The students will be introduced to a more detailed look at Pro Tools using a wider array of shortcuts, and learn to implement recording techniques such as punch-ins, track comping and tuning, and step or loop MIDI recording. Students will also learn to use the Elastic Audio and Beat Detective features to quantize audio, and to integrate track grouping, submixes and networks of multiple sends and returns into their sessions. Students must be ready to demonstrate to the instructor their working knowledge of MIDI editing and some basic mixing experience using either Logic, DP or Reason during the first week of classes. Note: students are required to have a Pro Tools system installed on their laptops.
This class explores sampling methods from other forms of music as a means for writing songs. Students will learn the technology of samplers as well as the history behind their inclusion in contemporary music. Each class will further develop the student's understanding of sampling technique through in-class exercises, projects, and group assignments. The course will be structured to cycle through phases of theory, technique, and creative exercises. In each class, key concepts (transcribing, looping, chopping, etc.) will be linked in a visual, tactile way to the sampler (Reason), as well as drawing on ear training and harmony materials from core classes. Although in format this class will resemble a lab, the combination of technical and writing assignments presented will require delivery as a full 2-hour class session. Emphasis will be placed on transcribing prerecorded music to provide a blueprint for the compositions students create.
This course will prepare aspiring songwriters with the tools needed to succeed in children's music, a viable and thriving segment of the music industry. Through the study of child development, students will learn tocompose music that connects with and engages children in a meaningful way. Students will have an opportunity to perform their original compositions for children. Business aspects of the children's music market will also be examined, enabling students to maximize opportunities for marketing, distributing, licensing, and performing their musical compositions for children. By the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of field-tested songs for children and the tools needed to pursue viable career opportunities in this genre.

Sebastian Vettel continued his domination of Silverstone by taking pole position for the British Grand Prix with a lap of 1m 19.509s in his Red Bull. As pre-race favourite Jenson Button failed in his quest and took only sixth place, Rubens Barrichello was Brawns lead runner in second with 1m 19.856s. A spoiled first run and traffic at Stowe prevented Mark Webber from joining his Red Bull team mate on the front row, and his 1m 19.868s left him third.
Jarno Trulli continued his unobtrusive form for Toyota with 1m 20.091s for fourth, while Kazuki Nakajimas last-moment lap of 1m 20.216s in the Williams shoved Button back a place. The championship leader could not better 1m 20.289s.
Nico Rosberg failed to improve on his final try and was seventh in 1m 20.361s in the second Williams, ahead of Timo Glocks Toyota on 1m 20.490s, Kimi Raikkonens Ferrari on 1m 20.715s and Fernando Alonsos Renault on 1m 20.741s.
Q2 saw the demise of Felipe Massa, who just didnt have his Ferrari as well set up as team mate Raikkonen. The Brazilians best lap was 1m 18.927s, good enough only for 11th. Neither BMW Sauber made it through, Robert Kubicas lap of 1m 19.308s leaving him 12th, Nick Heidfelds 1m 19.448s seeing him line up 15th. Between them was McLarens Heikki Kovalainen on 1m 19.353s, and Renaults Nelson Piquet (who went off at Stowe at one stage) on 1m 19.392s.
McLarens Lewis Hamilton, the darling of Silverstone 2008, had a torrid time and was a victim of a big accident which befell Adrian Sutil in the closing moments of Q1, in which Kazuki Nakajima set the pace. The Force ndia driver lost control on the left-hander at Abbey and crashed heavily into the tyre wall on the outside, necessitating the red flag. He was unharmed. Hamilton was on his flying lap, but with less than a minute of the session left his lap was ruined.
Giancarlo Fisichella was 16th on 1m 19.802s in the sister Force ndia, ahead of Sebastien Bourdaiss Toro Rosso on 1m 19.898s. Sutil had recorded 1m 19.909s earlier, and Hamilton 1m 19.917s, leaving them 18th and 19th ahead of Sebastien Buemis Toro Rosso in 1m 20.236s.

The Straw Hats have officially entered into the New World! We've only seen one page of this sea so far, and it is already crazier than the first half of the Grand Line combined. Raining lightning and the sea is on fire, this is going to be exciting. Let's see what adventure awaits the Straw Hats in this next arc.
The Straw Hats have jumped from the frying pan, into the fire--literally! It looks like next arc will feature an island that is constantly on fire called Punk Hazard. So the next arc after being stuck under the sea is the complete opposite, a being stuck in a sea of fire. So the story goes that the Straw Hats receive a call of help through a den-den mushi. A nameless underling requests that the Straw Hats help them because a samurai is killing them all; one which eventually kills the caller. He tells them to go to Punk Hazard, which must be the island closest to them.
Now when I read Brook's explanation of who the Samurai are, I almost blew my lid. So if the next arc's villains take on a Japanese theme, that means they must have ninjas there as well. And we all know what that means: PIRATES VERSUS NINJAS! We will finally get our answer on who is the strongest among them, though this medium might be a little biased. Also Punk Hazard seems to be a hidden marine base, and is most likely some kind of secret laboratory for Vegapunk due to the similar use of the word punk and the fact that Vegapunk most likely likes to set things on fire.
Another great aspect of this chapter is that we get to see Smoker again. I thought he was bad ass when we last saw him, but his bad ass factor has increased tenfold. His bad assery increases at an exponential level! So once they enter the island every takes off their clothes and start to explore the place. Soon after they run into the only creature that can survive in this environment, a dragon! Perhaps Oda is playing Skyrim a little too much like the rest of us?
If Zoro is not Dragon Born, then I'm dropping this manga like a sack of door nobs.
I really enjoyed this chapter because it opens to doors to so many different cool things in the future. Dragons, Samurai, lots of fire, Vegapunk, shirtless Straw Hats--ect. Usually the first dangerous thing the Straw Hats meet on an island is a good guy, so I'm expecting Luffy and the Dragon to become good friends. Luffy, you need to make the Dragon into the next Straw Hat pirate, forget about Jinbe.

Renault's Heikki Kovalainen will drop ten places on the grid for the Canadian Grand Prix after a rare engine failure in Saturday's final practice.
Kovalainen's misfortune brought practice to a halt for over 15 minutes after oil dropped from his R27 covered a large section of Montreal's Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
The Finn now faces an uphill battle in qualifying if he is to achieve a grid slot sufficient to keep him in contention for points on Sunday afternoon.

I am new to programming, and have been tinkering about a bit after getting my HD2. Took me a while now, but I've just completed coding an app, and would like to share this with the community. This is intended for motorists in Singapore, to view Traffic Cams. But it is quite unlike apps found in the iPhone. This app's features:
> Allows multiple cameras to be selected and displayed. Up to 12 cameras at once
> Save up to 4 Favorite routes, with each route storing up to 12 cameras
> Small program size and quick startup.
> Very fast image download speed
> Refresh images easily, and only if the camera's image has changed.
> For Windows Mobile 6.5 touchscreen smartphones, finger scrollable friendly
> Haptic feedback
Thanks to eboelzner for his wonderful work in putting up the HTC SenseSDK, which is used as the UI for this app.
If it proves popular, I'll work on porting it over to the Android and WP7 platforms.
Let me know if you like the app, and if you face any problems with it.

Read: he's learning what life is really about, and that no childhood can adequately prepare a person for all the surprises that are in store.... suffers from PTSD and his childhood is the blame for it.
Merely "stressing" over previous experiences doesn't quite cut it. Nor, as some have mentioned, does it even compare to true trauma and the related stresses and difficulties that can result. If he's honestly viewing it this way, then perhaps he should speak with a psychiatric professional. It isn't healthy, and it could easily be an indicator of something far worse than appearances suggest.
At 20 yrs of age, it's certainly time to wake up and smell the coffee. Life isn't always as good as we thought it would be. And that's one of life's little nuggets, there.

Pastor Mark Driscoll laughs at Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, pretty much everyone but himself
In his own twisted mind Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, thinks he is doing God's work by mocking burqas, Chassidic side curls and Mormon underwear. In a "sermon" titled Jesus the Sabbath Lord, Driscoll vainly believes he is breaking original theological ground by declaring that the "religious people," a group of […]

Clayton News Daily
Special to the Clayton News Daily and Henry Daily Herald
ATLANTA - While temperatures continue to rise this summer, the American Red Cross reports that the blood inventory levels are so low it is unable to sufficiently meet the demand of local hospitals. While there is a constant need for all blood types, donors with O positive, O negative, A negative and B negative blood types are asked to take an hour to donate right away. It is especially crucial for donors with type O blood to donate within the next few days.Type O is the most common blood type and is used extensively by hospitals. Type O blood donors are considered universal donors, because their blood can be given to most other blood types in emergencies when there is no time to type a patient's blood. Hospitals commonly experience an increase in traumas during the summer, making the need for type O blood even greater. "While enjoying summer activities, people often forget that the need for blood is constant," says Randy Edwards, chief executive officer, American Red Cross Southern Blood Services Region. "Blood donations always decline during the summer months, but blood is used to treat area hospital patients every day. Patients depend on the generous donations of others to receive the life-saving blood they need." In the summer, blood shortages are common because donations decrease, along with the number of organizations that will sponsor blood drives. The absence of high school and college blood drives factors largely into the annual drop in donations because these drives account for approximately 25 percent of all donations in the Southern Region. "We want to make the donation process as convenient as possible for those who take time out of their day to help save lives. In order to avoid long waits at our donor centers and blood drives, we ask that donors call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE, or visit www.redcrossblood.org to make appointments to give blood," adds Edwards. The American Red Cross Southern Blood Services Region needs approximately 1,200 people to donate blood each weekday to meet the needs of hospital patients. Most people who are age 17 or older and weigh at least 110 pounds are eligible to give blood every 56 days.There is no substitute for blood, and the only source is from volunteer donors. The American Red Cross distributes blood to more than 130 hospitals throughout the Southern Region.
