Any rimfire junkies out there. I have a growing love for rimfires especially .22's. So post up a rimfire and tell us about it. I'll start. Here is my Beretta Neos. It has had a few thousand rounds through it. A few malfunctions when it was new, but is pretty reliable now. It eats everything, but mostly only sees bulk from walmart. It is remarkably accurate, especially with the red dot. I can pick off cans at 100 yards all day with it. Breakdown is a breeze and the scope is fixed even when the barrel is off so it stays zeroed perfectly. IMO it is a very underappreciated pistol. I know the Rugers and Brownings get most of the attention, but Beretta did a good job with this one.
Wow I haven't shot many .22 pistols but hitting tin cans from 100 yards with ease out of a 5" or 6" barrel seems pretty crazy to me. I have trouble doing that with my 10/22 sometimes. Nice gun! I like the way the grips look.
Ya, I didn't mean to make it sound like I can hit a can every time. But 7 out of a 10 round clip is pretty normal. When I go shooting we shoot at the desert, so most everyone brings rifles. So we usually set up targets at 80 to 120 yards. I just plink away with my Neos. The kids really love it. Didn't mean to make this about my Neos though. If you have a rimfire post it up!
A Ruger Mk 1 with a Tactical Solutions upper on it. For a rimfire rifle, I'm getting to like this recently purchased M&P 15-22.....
That MK I is awesome I would love to have one of those. I see you are also a fan of inexpensive red dots. BSA makes quite a deal. I have had years of good luck with all of mine. And very inexpensive as well. Definitely worth a look. Keep 'em coming!
The casings make it look tough I just bought my first Marlin on Black Friday. I got a Marlin 60 for $149. I've wanted one for years. I believe it's basically the same rifle as yours just with no clip. How reliable is your 795?
You will love your Marlin 60. I have one with the SS barrel and I have never had a failure of any kind. I lost count after 2000 rounds. I just wish it could hold more rounds.
I just bought his Marlin model 60 last weekend. http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/xdtalk-chatter-box/136398-tuesday-my-birthday-so.html I got it used at a local shop, looked like it had been sitting in a corner of a room for a few years cause the scope had so much dust on it you couldn't see thru it, and the bolt was so dirty I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned it. I got the chance to shoot it this weekend and it shoots great!! Not one single problem once I cleaned it up.
Cool pic. Is that one of the newer "plastic" models, or the older metal ones? I picked up a plastic one a few months ago but haven't shot it yet.
Until I get home and get a pic off my laptop, you'll have to imagine this: Savage 93 BVTSS(?)...stainless action and heavy varmint barrel (20"), thumbhole stock, .17HMR.
Its a brand new model with the plastic trigger group. Its a fun, accurate little gun. Can't beat an afternoon of shooting for under $10. Its tough to see in that resized picture but there is one of those spinning .22 targets about 75 yards away

Futurebiotics Astaxanthin is a multifunctional antioxidant derived exclusively from whole microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis.

Coumadin must be carefully monitored. If the dose is too high, a patient could experience excessive bruising and be at higher risk for brain hemorrhages. If the dose is too low, the drug would be ineffective in preventing blood clots. Patients typically must come in at least once a month for a blood test to determine whether the dose needs to be adjusted. Some patients have to come in as often as twice a week.
Coumadin patients also must restrict their diets. For example, they should consume only small amounts of cranberry juice and alcohol and not eat large amounts of foods that are rich in vitamin K, such as spinach, brussels sprouts and green tea.
Disadvantages of the new medications include the limited clinical experience and lack of antidotes, the researchers wrote. The newer drugs are more expensive than Coumadin, but reduce the cost of patient monitoring and blood testing, Morales said.
Dabigatran is an effective alternative to Coumadin for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Rivaroxaban is another promising alternative for those patients. Apixaban appears to be better than aspirin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients who are not candidates for Coumadin therapy, Morales and colleagues wrote.
The authors predict that within the next few years, the new drugs will likely replace Coumadin for long-term anticoagulation in selective patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

He added: Nothing resonates more than BO records and the stupendous, record-shattering biz of #Krrish3 proves it.

Directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan, the superhero sci-fi drama was made at a budget of about Rs 100-Rs 150 crore.

Pitch European Development Aid
Thanks very much! Glad you like the cartoon.
01 Mar 2011I like how the mice,with hopeless faces, are stuck on their little ''island', while the cat is enjoying it's life. We wouldn't want to risk our living standards..but why not take the risk? They don't even have a standard, while we can enjoy everything we want. Therefore, I agree that's it's really well drawn cartoon. Nice :)
01 Mar 2011This way the being-helped countries can't do anything except to wait for their own development. Of course we wouldn't want to risk our living standards, but if we raise theirs, the problem of their people coming to Europe might cease to exist.
This is a really well drawn cartoon, and states the obvious. Well done.
21 Feb 2011It kinda looks like the cat has just eaten some of the mice.
15 Feb 2011I like it

Noelle is a California native who grew up in Los Gatos before moving to the Foothills in 1988. She relocated to Orange County after graduating high school to begin her college career, studying English literature before deciding to pursue a CA license in esthetics. Noelle spent the next few years working in the health and beauty industry before trying her hand at real estate finances. Banking ran in her blood and she said she knew it was something that would not only challenge her daily, but also allow vast personal growth.
During most of her 12 year residency in Orange County Noelle spent her days as a loan processor and an underwriter. She also married while there and had two fabulous daughters who now are a thriving 9 and 11. In 2005 Noelle's family decided that it was time to return north to raise the girls in the community that she so loved as a young adult.
Since her passion for real estate didn't subside, Noelle decided to take her career a step further and get licensed as a California real estate salesperson. "I have enjoyed watching the industry change and evolve, through good and bad economic times," Noelle said. "I love the real estate marketplace, despite its quirks."
In her "off" time Noelle enjoys water sports, music, reading and riding horses. She loves the foothills and all they have to offer. "I can't imagine living anywhere else; the opportunities are endless."

Analog, July/August 2000 | |||||
A review by Marc Goldstein
The story centres on an off-worlder named Jeremiah, a graduate student studying Dahl culture. An estate manager named
Khal kidnaps Jeremiah when she discovers his skill at Quis. Against his will, he is sworn into the Calanya, an elite group
of Quis players. Though played with dice, Quis seems to have more in common with the I Ching than with Yahtzee, and
the Calanya wield considerable power and prestige despite their lack of freedom. Jeremiah befriends his fellow Calani
and learns the secrets of Quis as his relationship with Khal takes some unexpected turns. Jeremiah has no desire to accept
the new life imposed upon him, and though escape looks impossible, he continues to pray for rescue. Far from a cruel
captor, Khal tries to ease Jeremiah's pain and aid his transition, but her efforts only deepen his homesickness.
"A Roll of the Dice" grabs your attention from the outset and never dithers. The characters are complex, human,
memorable, and sympathetic. As the plot progresses, the relationships deepen and expand in surprising and satisfying ways.
Sci-Fi Hall-of-Famer Larry Niven offers up "The Wisdom of Demons," a brief "be careful what you wish for" parable. A
human xenosociologist interviewing aliens at a cosmopolitan interstellar tavern runs into a technologically advanced
creature that offers the scientist a wish. This theme has long since descended into cliché, but Niven leaves the
outcome ambiguous. Was the wish worth the price paid? Niven offers no easy answers.
F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre's "A Real Bang-Up Job" is a humorous time-paradox parody. A time-travelling shyster named
Smedley Faversham sets up camp in the desert near Roswell on the day of the infamous flying saucer crash. He
intercepts fellow time-travellers dropping in to observe the crash and suckers them into his scheme. Eventually, a
buxom time cop named Julie Anne Callendar arrives to bust up Smedley's racket. The end comes roaring in a funhouse
series of head-spinning time loops. It's a cheeky tale told with wonderful ebullience.
Mike Moscoe, perhaps best know for his Lost Millennium trilogy, contributes "A Day's Work on the Moon,"
a novelette-length wish-fulfillment tale. Thirteen year-old Nikki becomes obsessed with piloting remote-control moon
rovers, and ropes her computer-hacker boyfriend, Jer, into jury-rigging a control station for her. After a few months'
practice, she lands a full-time job as a rover pilot where her wild driving earns her the nickname Rocket Girl. When
a crisis arises on the moon, Nikki's rover is the only one in position to help. Nikki's spunky narration provides the
perfect tone to this wondrous, upbeat tale.
Analog regular Michael F. Flynn's "Built Upon the Sands of Time" is a heart-rending time-paradox tragedy. Set in an Irish
pub filled with an assortment of colourful characters, the tale starts off with pathologist Doc Mooney asking for help
locating a missing artifact. When a bar patron named Owen fitzHugh draws a connection between the missing artifact
and the Big Bang, the bartender plops down a beer before fitzHugh and demands that he explain the connection. FitzHugh's
narrative begins with a complex lesson in temporal physics. His theory of temporal reality has chilling implications,
and his tale ends in tears. It's a haunting story of loss.
John W. Campbell Award-nominee Shane Tourtellotte's "The Hanoi Tree" tells the tale of a forbidden friendship between a
human boy and an alien child. On a distant colony world, Humans and Thruhas peacefully coexist, but communication
between the species is strained. A chance meeting between ten year-old Kevan and a Thruha child named Yinalu leads to
a blossoming friendship. When Kevan's parents discover his secret companion, his mother forbids him to see Yinalu
again. But Kevan's father works for a diplomatic committee attempting to improve communication with the Thruha and
arranges clandestine meetings for Kevan and Yinalu. Eventually, the friendship forces the races to confront their
fear and ignorance. It's a poignant tale of childhood innocence and camaraderie.
James Gunn's "The Abyss" is a sequel to "The Giftie" and "Pow'r." An orbital work crew assembles an interstellar
spacecraft from instructions sent to Earth from an unknown alien intelligence. When an engine test reveals a minor
incident of sabotage, everyone comes under suspicion.
Joseph P. Martino's "To Have What it Takes" is a tale of test pilots and the women who love (and fear for) them. During
a test flight for the SF-83 fighter prototype, Captain Mike Sweeney's aircraft experiences several mechanical
failures. Meanwhile, his wife Carolyn is busy consoling the widow of another test pilot when she gets the news that
Mike is in trouble. It's a familiar theme, but Martino blends in authentic military flavour, accurate engineering
detail and skillful character development.
The issue concludes with Robert R. Chase's "Cheetahs." Chase creates a complex universe within the brief span
of this novelette. Earth has been abandoned and humans have spread out, seeding the stars with numerous colonies. The
Meji colony, ravaged by a plague, sends out a distress call. Nearby Terranova colony sends the crew of the Albert
Schweitzer on a rescue mission. The trip to Meji, however, takes 50 years. The relief workers stay in communication
with the colony, but by the time the ship arrives, the situation has changed dramatically. The Schweitzer's anti-matter
reactor has become unstable and will melt down unless the crew can get help from the Mejan colonists, but the Mejans
cut off communications and warn the Albert Schweitzer to stay away. It's a nice bit of high-concept space opera,
with an emphasis on intrigue and suspense.

Me and Charlie

Author's infos
Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sun 15th of May 2005
This is how I wish I had lost my V
I was home alone working in the kitchen, well cleaning actually. I was moving out but I still had some cleaning to do. I called Charlie to come over and visit before I left. He showed up at about 3:30 that afternoon just as I was finishing up in the bathroom.
I'm short 5'4 I have a little meat on me I have died hair black with 2 red strips that seporate in to sections, I have black eye cantacts and huge 48DDD breasts I was wearing a blue mini skirt, with a white t-shirt. I'm hot well thats what I think. Charlie is 5'6, huskey like he should have been on the football team and he was hairy he was wearing his usual jeans, a wife beater, and a green and blue button up shirt that he never buttoned.
He closed and locked the when he came in, he walked threw the house looking for me. I was up stairs cleaning the shower, I didn't hear him come in. He walked in quietly I had one leg up on the stool ready to step onto it when I felt a hand cup my pussy from behind I wirled around to find him smiling at me. I hit his sholder playfully he pulled me close and kissed hard. I pushed him away and I took a deep breath and blinked wildly.
"What was that for?" I asked, "I want you" he replied "NOW", "Can't it wait a little longer" I replied, "NO" he said "I need you now." He pushed me against the wall and kissed me hard again, I kissed him back. I pushed him away, and wiping my mouth I walked around behind him and shoved. He hit the wall hard I hard his back crack a little, I lunged at him and kissed him violently. Charlie pushed me back a little "thats more like it" he replied. I lunged again and he pinned me against the wall I could feel him borner wanting to escape his pants.
"I need a shower" I said, "I'll be right out, watch T.V." he walked out I closed the door but didn't lock it, I was hoping he'd come in. I stripped down and stepped into the warm shower, I was standing under the shower getting my body wet when I herd the door close, a smile broke out over my face the shower curtin flung open, Charlie stud there naked and hairy, I got excited. He stepped in and closed the curtin behind him.
"you look so yummy" he said, "mmmm huh" I replied "you look yummy too, I wouldn't mind a little meat right now." He pushed his body against mine and kissed me, I could feel his prick push it's way into my pussy lips "mmmmmmmm" he moaned. I jumped up and wraped my legs around him, he turned off the water and carried me to the bedroom he lay me in the middle of the bed. He climed on top of me pulling the blankets over us he kissed me before he reached under the sheets and guieded himself into my cunt.
"Be gently" I said "remember I've never done this before." he smiled at me sweetly, he placed the head of his prick inside me, I jerked a little. This happened 4 minutes and every 4 minutes after that he pushed another few centemeters into me. When he was half in I yelped out in pain "You ok?" he asked ask he pulled out about an inch. He reached down and rubbed my lips gently, "I'm alright" I said "keep going. I don't want you to stop" He continued to inch himself in, my nails digging into his back, he flinched "sorry" I said, he shrugged it off then he realized his dick was in.
He smiled at me "I'm in. I'm all the way in!" he said excitedly, he had a sparkle in his eye."Go slow ok Charlie?" he nodded "ok", he pulled almost all the way out before pushing slowly back in fully. He did this over and over I stoped feeling the pain after 30 minutes. He slow fucked me for half and hour then I asked him to speed up a little, sweat began to form between our bodies.
Another 15 minutes and I was digging my nails into his back again from all the pleasure he stopped and looked at me. "Don't stop, Don't stop I'm almost there!" I said, he quickened the pace again, he was going full speed. I dug my nails deep breaking the skin on his back small streams of blood ran down his sides, my body jerked and my back arched and my pelvice jumped into him just as I started to cum I yelled out " Charlie your making me cum, I never want you to stop, Oh My God your so good", he made one last thrust and started to cum too. After 30 seconds of cumming he collapsed on top of me, I pushed him off me, we were breathing hard, he landed beside me and ignoring the small trickles of blood running down his back fell asleep. I curled up in his arms and fell asleep too.
I woke up beside him a few hours later Charlie was sitting in a chair watching me sleep, he crawled into the bed and whispered into my ear "I love you" and kissed me.

Out with a concussion since Dec. 27, Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman is hoping to return to the lineup on Tuesday when the Bolts face the Caps.
"I want to play games," Hedman told the Tampa Tribune. "Being off the ice is the worst thing. I'm just trying to get back, and whether that is Tuesday or a couple of games after that, I don't know. But my goal is to play in the next game."
The 21-year-old rearguard has been participating in full workouts yet, prior to the All-Star break, was still wearing a red non-contact jersey during Lightning practices. There's still no word on when he'll receive official clearance for contact but with an extended rest period coming up, both Hedman and the organization are hopeful he'll get it in time for next week.
"He's been doing very, very well, and after all the time we've been waiting for him, it's really nice to see him doing well," head coach Guy Boucher said. "Everything he's been doing, no setbacks, so that's good."
Getting Hedman back would be huge for the Bolts. He's one of their top two defensemen, a key penalty killer and prior to getting hurt, second among all blueliners in minutes per game. With Tampa on a bit of a roll right now — currently riding a four-game winning streak — having the former second-overall pick back in the lineup could be a huge morale boost.

This guy is the sack of pus that cheas shot Crosby after the Craps got their shot. He's coming back? I hope somone concusses this scum and ends his career.
- lightningstrikes04 - Jan 26, 2012 at 4:42 PM
I'm pretty sure that if you go and watch the video of the hit, that not only was it not a cheap, or cheas shot as you like to call it, but Steckal was the one that gave Crosby the concussion. Steckal's hit on Crosby was a cheap shot to the head, but Hedman is a clean player.
- seanyriver1 - Jan 26, 2012 at 7:27 PM
DIrty Hit? It wasnt even a hard hid. he was concussed before that hit and never should have been on the ice. If Sid never plays another NHL game he"ll have no one but himself to blame. its his own fault. and good riddance he's a whiney bitch.

Independent 7907 / Phi
Posted by duncanshiell on February 17th, 2012
Friday in The Independent usuallly brings a crossword from Phi, so today's offering comes as no surprise.
There seemed be a lot of use of the word 'one' plus 'opening' and 'single' within the clues, but I can't detect any specific theme. There are also a lot of Is in the entries, but not in everyone.
There is no pangram either despite there being three Zs very close together in the grid. There is no Q or X.
As you will see from the table below there are a couple of clues where I am slightly unure of the parsing – 12 across CANINE and 6 down CAMERA.
Across | |||
No. | Clue | Wordplay | Entry |
7 | Devilish performer, seemingly irreligious in Italy (8) | PAGAN (heathen; someone who has no religion; irreligious) + IN + I (International Vehicle Registration for Italy) | PAGANINI (reference Niccolo PAGANINI [1782-1840], Italian violinist, guitarist and composer). PAGANINI seems to have had a life that could be considered slightly debauched or 'devilish'. Wikipedia mentions a satirical comedy by Don Nigro that portrays PAGANINI as having sold his soul to The Devil |
9 | One fly covering black line on chart (6) |
I + (SOAR [fly] containing [covering] B [black, when considering the softness of lead pencils]) I SO (B) AR |
ISOBAR (line through points of equal pressure on a weather chart) |
10/2 | Clothing store to support servant (8) | H AND M (reference H&M, Hennes & Mauritz AB, a Swedish clothing store well known on Western European High Streets for some time, and more recently established in Asia and Eastern Europe) + AID (support) | HANDMAID (servant) |
11 | Floors the writer with unknown eccentricity,mostly (10) | ME (the writer) + Z (a letter frequently used for indicating an unknown value in mathematics) + ZANINESS (eccentricity) excluding the final letter (mostly) S | MEZZANINES (a MEZZANINE floor is a low storey between two main storeys of a building, generally between the ground and first floors [in UK terminology]) |
12 | Muses on chasing Manx cat? (6) | CAT (excluding the last letter [tail] – a Manx cat has no tail) + NINE (the number of Muses) | CANINE (there is usually at least one clue in a crossword that I struggle with. This seems to be one for today. I just can't see a definition in this clue. I am working off the puzzle available through Crossword Solver, which si the same as the one on The Independent website. Is there a different clue in the paper or am I missing something very obvious? It is usually the latter. The best I can come up with is after finding some suggestion on the Internet that some people call a Manx cat the 'dog cat' becuase of its strong desire to be with people. A dog, of course, is a CANINE) |
14 | Act of revenge on leaving jail? True about that (8) |
REAL (true) containing (about) (PRISON excluding [leaving] ON) RE (PRIS |
REPRISAL (act of retaliation; act of revenge) |
15 | Flute part? Current issue with oboe (ignoring odd bits) (6) | THIS (the thing just mentioned; the current issue) + BE (first and third [odd] letters of OBOE) | THISBE (the part played by Flute in the play within Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream') |
17 | Exaggeratedly canny carrying one blue dye (6) |
Anagram of (exaggeratedly) CANNY containing (carrying) I (one) For a long time I misread this clue as 'Extremely canny ….' and I was stuck with CY as the extreme letters of CANNY and I couldn't make ANIN fit the rest of the clue. Eventually I read the clue again and the penny dropped. CYAN (I) N* |
CYANIN (blue pigment; blue dye) |
20 | Lot of dalliance getting boost, but not sexual (8) | PLAY (dalliance) excluding the final letter (lot of) Y + TONIC (boost) | PLATONIC (relating to an affectionate friendship without a sexual relationship) |
22 | Fading threat runs out (6) | WARNING (threat) excluding (out) R (runs) | WANING (fading) |
23 | Son's piano involving first of recorders – these? (10) |
Anagram of (I'm not really sure what the anagram indicator is here. It might be 'involving', but that looks more like a containment indicator) SON'S PIANO containing (involving) R (the first letter of [first of]) RECORDERS SOP (R) ANINOS* |
SOPRANINOS (instruments with a range of sounds higher than those correspondng to the range of a soprano) |
24/24d | 'Large' encompasses one novel unduly protracted (8) |
LG (large) containing (encompasses) an anagram of (unduly) (I [one] and NOVEL) L (IVE LON*) G |
LIVELONG (protracted) |
25 | Upset aficionado turned tail, initially (6) | LOVER (someone with a keen interest in; aficionado) reversed (turned) + T (first letter of [initially] TAIL) | REVOLT (upset) |
26 | Wiping opening for criminal tendency (8) | C (first letter of [opening for] CRIMINAL) + LEANING (tendency) | CLEANING (wiping) |
Down | |||
1 | Drop suitable for eye complaint? (8) | CATARACT (waterfall; drop) |
CATARACT (an opaque condition of the lens of the eye which is surgically removable; eye complaint) |
3 | Judge one, one such as Bovary, embracing one man (6) |
J (judge) + I (one) + (MME [Madame; reference Madame Bovary, novel by Gustave Flaubert] containing [embracing] I [one]) J I MM (I) E |
JIMMIE (man's name) |
4 | Wrongly use surprised comment about one's lot of fruit (8) |
MY (interjection expressing surprise) containing (about) (I'S [one's] + APPLE [apple; fruit] excluding the final letter [lot of] E) M (IS APPL) Y |
MISAPPLY (wrongly use) |
5 | State resident – oil in USA excited one (10) |
Anagram of (excited) OIL IN USA + AN (one) LOUISIAN* AN |
LOUISIANAN (resident of the the US state of Louisiana) |
6 | What tourist carries round about America (6) | CA (round [?]) containing (about) AMER (America) I'm not 100% sure of this parsing. CA [circa] can mean around or about, but can it just mean 'round'? Probably it can as Chambers tells me that 'around' can mean 'round or round about" | CAMERA (what tourist carries) |
8 | Comedian missing couple of openings in atrocious weather (6) | BLIZZARD (atrocious weather) excluding the first two letters (missing couple of openings) BL | IZZARD (reference Eddie IZZARD [comedian]) |
13 | I'd one with top rebuilt, a top supposedly unbreakable (5-5) |
I'D + I (one) + an anagram of (rebuilt) TOP + ROOF (top) ID I (OT P*) ROOF |
IDIOT PROOF (of a tool, device, machine, method of working, etc, so simple that even an idiot cannot make a mistake; supposedly unbreakable) |
16 | Monetary quantity a blight with complication intervening (8) |
KNOT (complication) contained in (intervening) BANE (source or cause of evil; blight) BAN (KNOT) E |
BANKNOTE (monetary quantity) |
18 | New single opening is an insignifciant happening (3-5) | N (new) + ONE (single) + VENT (opening) | NON-EVENT (insignificant happening) |
19 | Attractive and faithfully reproduced, capturing church, note (6) |
SIC (so, thus, often printed within brackets in quoted matter to show that the original is being faithfully reproduced even though incorrect or apparently so) containing (capturing) (CE [Church {of England}] + N [note]) S (CE N) IC |
SCENIC (attractive) |
21 | Guy, single, left clutching Independent (6) |
(LONE [single] + L [left]) containing (clutching) I (independent) L (I) ONE L |
LIONEL (man's name; guy) |
22 | Ne'er-do-well was the end? Not entirely (6) | WAS + TERM (end) excluding the final letter (not entirely) M | WASTER (good-for-nothing; ne'er do well) |

Brody Wants Fans To Pay For Transfers
Brody's latest scheme Coventry City Director Leonard Brody wants supporters to contribute money to a transfer fund. In another one of his schemes, the Canadian has already made enquiries as to whether City supporters would be willing to contribute to a ring fenced transfer fund, which could not be used to service the club debt. This fund if there was enough money in it, would then be used to buy players. For what it's worth our view, is that this is doomed to fail as a) supporters pay enough in season ticket, merchandise etc and it is not our fault that the club cannot find the money for transfers and b) there is so much mis-trust of SISU and the Coventry City board in light of recent events at the moment that most supporters would not want to be involved in such a scheme if they could afford to contribute.

Ginseng eeTee
Ginseng, the King of Herbs. Panax Ginseng is one of the most famous and valued herbs used by mankind. Ginseng is the primary Qi tonic that regulates the human energy system. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that Ginseng has numerous nutraceutical actions on immune, endocrine and central nervous systems. Ginseng, being a superb adaptogenic herb, helps a person adapt to stress.
This product is produced by FITT, Fingerprint Identical Transfer Technology. This proprietary extraction technology captures the original phyto-chemical profile of a botanical (the plant's fingerprint) and transfers it safely and almost identically into the final extract, preserving the aroma, color and taste of the plant perfectly.
FITT is a raw extraction, with the entire process' temperature controlled under 104° F.
Ginseng eeTee is truly eeextraordinary in many ways!
Easy - Ginseng eeTee dissolves clear in seconds, even at room temperature. You can now make iced tea on the fly. Just add water, stir, and then add ice. Voila!
Economical - Less raw materials, less energy consumption, recycled production water all contribute to a lower cost.
Effective - With FITT, 95-98% of all of the plant's active ingredients are transferred to the eeTee extract.
Ecological - FITT uses 33% less energy than traditional extraction methods and produces 1/10th the waste of home brewing.
Suggested Use
Add 1 teaspoon (2 g) of Ginseng eeTee powder to 6 oz of water, hot or room temperature, stir or shake until the powder completely dissolves. For iced tea, use room temperature water to dissolve the powder first then add ice. You may flavor the tea with sweeteners, fruits, or herbal tinctures. You may also adjust the amount of Ginseng eeTee to your liking.
Enjoy with ease!

GREAT dress, tons of compliments on NYE! I'm 5'0, 110 lbs, 32C/D and it fit perfectly.....the shoulders are a *tiny bit* wide, so if you have absolutely zero shoulder, may be a little big. Great length - short enough to be sexy, but still classy. Note - can't wear a bra, so may have to wear a backless if you're on the larger breast size :) Dress is tight enough though that I was fine without it! Lined all the way through, very comfortable.

Some — not as many as should, but, still, some — have been asking for my take on last night's vice-presidential debate. So here it is:
First, though, an advisory. I am, even if few of you have noticed it, very strongly opposed to the reelection of Obama-Biden and a committed supporter of Romney-Ryan.
That said, I was disappointed in Congressman Ryan's performance last night. He didn't make any major gaffes. He was fine. But he came across as quite young, and he never really got into his groove. I don't think he made his points particularly well, and I think he failed altogether to make several important points that he should have made. He didn't lose, but he didn't win, either.
To a considerable degree, of course, his less-than-ideal performance was a result of his being walked all over by Joe Biden, and, to a lesser but still obnoxious degree, by the moderator, who seemed to interrupt him almost constantly.
And that brings up the demeanor of Vice President Biden.
Mr. Biden seemed, to me, almost unhinged. One of my favorite comments about his behavior last night suggested that his debate preparation must have consisted of (a) inhaling a lot of nitrous oxide and (b) sticking a fork into an electric socket.
But I don't think Mr. Biden's crazy. I think his incessant smirking, ostentatious fake laughter, irritating incivility, repeated talking over his opponent, and constant interruptions were a conscious effort not only to put Mr. Ryan off his game but to exhibit disdain for the congressman (and, to an extent, for Mr. Romney). And it worked. But perhaps it worked too well.
I know I'm not the only one out here in television land who judged the Vice President's contemptuous behavior to be that of a consummately arrogant jerk.
I don't know, however, whether it offended undecided voters (and particularly undecided women) as much as it put me off. If it did, Mr. Biden lost last night, and lost big. If it didn't, he probably did reasonably well, and the debate was pretty much a wash or even, perhaps, a Biden victory by a nose.
I'm inclined to think it a wash, not a Biden victory, and to guess that neither side really won or changed many minds. Unless Mr. Biden's unpleasant buffoonery did the Democratic side as much damage as, in my view, it should.
On the substance, I judge that several of Mr. Biden's claims were flatly untrue — e.g., his claim that the Obama administration was simply echoing, on the Benghazi debacle, the best information available to American intelligence and that they never knew that more security was needed for our representatives on the ground there. However, few people in the audience, I'm guessing, are real political junkies with particular interests in the Middle East, so I can't say, off hand, whether or not they noticed that specific falsehood.

Date: | Wednesday - April 27, 2005 |
Host: | George Noory |
Guests: | Maurice Cotterell, Richard C. Hoagland |
Engineer and scientist Maurice Cotterell returned to talk about the codes he has uncovered in ancient civilizations. By examining their objects, artifacts, and paintings and subjecting them to computer analysis he has made a variety of extrapolations.
He believes that many of these civilizations, starting with the Egyptians, were aware of sun cycles and their affect on humans, particularly in the area of fertility. He suggested that such revered leaders as Jesus, Lord Pacal, Krishna, Buddha, Viracocha, and Tutankhamun were all the same reincarnated being who came to Earth at different times in order to teach a higher order of spirituality. Rather than using language, Cotterell said they communicated their message in a way that would transcend time-- with pictures and numbers. View related animation.
Indeed, he now believes that he has discovered the Holy Grail, the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, which he said is coded with a message. This artifact, which he located at a museum in Ireland, (though it's not identified there as the Holy Grail) will be featured in his new book due out next year. Cotterell also shared his findings on the nature of the human soul, which he said could grow in "voltage" through the expression of love.
Titan Update
First hour guest Richard C. Hoagland discussed the latest findings about Titan's atmosphere. NASA is not revealing the composition of the molecules, he said, which has led him to suspect that they may have found the "signature" of the life process on Titan, but are holding back from an announcement. He also touched on Saturn's mysteries and their connection to secret societies.

De Silva Munoz, Leonardo and Basséguy, Régine Study of different enzyme / electrode material systems for biofuel cell application. (2007) In: 19th International Symposium on Bioelectrochemistry and Bioenergetics BES2007, 1-4 april 2007, Toulouse .

Platinum sensibility to impurities in hydrogen fuel cells remains one of the major issues to be solved in order to achieve a large scale commercialization of fuel cells. One way to do this can be the use of enzymes as catalysts in fuel cell internal processes. Moreover, enzymes and other biocatalysts can be used to develop a wide range of biofuel cells that can use fuels such as sugars, alcohols ...[1,2]. In the present work, several biocatalyst-electrode material systems were electrochemically studied by linear voltammetry with the aim to find new alternatives for both cathodic and anodic reactions in biofuel cells by exploiting the direct electron transfer capability of enzymes. The employed biocatalysts were laccase, hydrogenase, glucose oxidase and hemin. They were coupled with titanium, stainless steel, glassy carbon, and graphite electrodes. Results showed that the electrocatalysis based on direct electron transfer is possible on stainless steel and titanium, and that hemin is a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction

Getting A wireless printer for a Samsung Netbook N130
Likes # 0
Posted September 6, 2011 at 8:47AM
Good morning to you all. I have a query and i'm hoping to get a good solution please. Mu sister was given a Samsung N130 as a gift from a friend, about 2 years ago. She has used it without any problems, she has a studio flat, for her and her daughter, she's never purchased a printer, and if she really wanted to print something she would quickly go to a friends, come down to my place or go to an internet cafe.
She now is considering getting a wireless printer, and NOT a wired one, due to the sall flat, and her being able to move the netbook round her place. I needed to find out if she would still be able to use a wireless printer with her netbook, as she wouldnt be able to install the CD rom, and also whether on a lot of the printer websites, that she can download the drivers WITHOUT any problems please, and also whether even if she could download the printer drivers, she wouls have enough memory, as she Samsung N130 is windows XP, and her netbook only has 1gb of RAM
Secondly I advised her to look at Epson printers.....and personally here is my reason: I have a Wired Epson Stylus DX4400 printer, which I purchased over 3 years ago....It uses 4 cartridges of ink which are Cyan, black, Magenta, and yellow. I normally buy a pack of 12 with 3 colours each on ebay for about £6 and this can last me for btw 3-8 months, as i dont print that much. I realise there are a lot of offfers on printers but the ink costs an arm and a leg, so i'd really like her to get a wireless Epson printer, that uses same cartridges. so if I can get some links to wireless Epson printers please. My sister does not need anything fancy, and she wont be printing pics at home. So just a wireless Epson printer, that can print docs fast, nice and quick please and in colour. Many thanks.

Plenty of room on a netbook for printer drivers (the amount of RAM is irelevant, it's HDD space which counts). You should be able to download software from the manufacrurers website with no problem. If not, and eternal DVD player is very cheap. Compatible cartridges are available for most printers now - I use 999 Inks - may be worth checking availablity before buying a particular printer. For what she wants, no need to pay much eg thisand inks cost this

Football-centric UNC academic scandal deepens, but Tar Heel hoops mentioned again
Jun 9, 2012, 12:36 PM EDT
The majority of the recent academic scandal at North Carolina has centered around the possible misdeeds of the football program, but a new report, released Saturday, keeps UNC basketball from completely disassociating itself from the situation, at least for now.
According to the Raleigh News & Observer, the scandal centers around the legitimacy of a particular summer course, AFAM 280: Blacks in North Carolina, and the conduct of one professor, Julius Nyang'oro, the longtime chairman of the African and Afro-American Studies Department.
Roy Williams spoke last month on the issue, quick to defend his players in the face of an investigation.
"The players were eligible to be enrolled in those classes, as were non-student-athletes, and they did the work that was assigned to them," Williams told the N&O through an athletic department spokesman.
Now, according to this newest report, records show that the legitimacy of nine classes are of particular interest and the professors listed for these classes have denied involvement, claiming their "signatures were forged on records related to them."
The classes in question included a majority of football and basketball players.
"I just think this has uncovered some information that quite frankly, the university, we're not proud of," athletic director Bubba Cunningham told the paper. "But we'll continue to work to ensure that it doesn't happen going forward."

When you see the majors of most of these kids, it is certainly the dumbing down of America.

Roy said, "…and they did the work that was assigned to them," Funny thing is though, No work was assigned and the classes never met. The class where McAdoo plagiarized the paper, and led to the uncovering of all this rot is not even considered one of the "questionable" classes by UNC. How the fans of all the colleges hat have taken steep penalties can sit and watch amazes me.

"I just think this has uncovered some information that quite frankly, the university, we're not proud of," athletic director Bubba Cunningham told the paper. "But we'll continue to work to ensure that it doesn't happen going forward."
Ensuring bogus classes don't happen again, or ensuring information is uncovered that could embarrass the university?
- imforbigblue - Jun 10, 2012 at 9:27 PM
But watch no players will be in trouble or miss any playing time. Where bob knight now calling out old Roy for his kids missing classes? Again if this was UK everybody would be calling for Cals head and calling UK cheaters

Successful apps will address one or more of the top three roadblocks by:
- Helping students build, test, and implement personal academic pathways that grow out of college-career aspirations and are supported by informed decision making.
- Helping students build social capital and a college-going peer group.
- Rectifying information asymmetries in college admissions, financial aid, and college selection processes that disadvantage low-income and first generation students.
Judging criteria. The apps in submitted proposals must:
- Represent an innovative approach that is responsive to one or more of the top 3 roadblocks facing low-income students in getting to and through college.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the college-going process and the needs, habits, and practices of low-income and first-generations students.
- Deliver an intuitive, user-friendly interface that provides information AND coaches the student toward college-oriented actions associated with positive educational outcomes.
- Take full advantage of the potential for social engagement where appropriate.
- Produce applications that are broadly accessible to low-income and first-generation college students through the applications' content, approach, pricing, and distribution models.
- Present an idea and a plan for development that can be realistically implemented and delivered in a high-quality fashion within the allowable timeframe.
Winners will be required to provide data and reporting on app development progress toward plan milestones and app usage.

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Molto Italiano by Mario Batali. It's part of a special menu created by Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali for Epicurious's Wine.Dine.Donate program.
Tortiera di Patate
This is the Italian version of spuds au gratin. There is no cream or milk, but with the creamy texture of the pecorino and the pleasing crunch of the bread crumbs, it is definitely comfort food.
YIELD: Makes 8 servings
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 2- to 3-quart, 2- to 3-inch-deep earthenware casserole or baking dish with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
2. Slice the potatoes 1/4-inch thick and place in a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and season well with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs with the parsley, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and the pecorino.
3. Spread a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the casserole and sprinkle with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the bread crumb and cheese mixture. Continue layering, finishing with the breadcrumb cheese mixture.
4. Bake for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Serve hot.

A Republican running to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Kind said he is backing out of the race so voters can line up behind a single challenger.
Chris Anderson, a former aide to U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, announced Wednesday he would no longer run for western Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District. Anderson said he will endorse Republican Tony Kurtz in the race because Kurtz supports conservative ideas.
Kurtz said he has hired Anderson to work as finance director for his campaign.
Three Republicans remain in the race for the seat Kind has occupied since 1997. Kind's office didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Funker Vogt is a German electronic music project with an aggressive style, formed by vocalist Jens Kästel and programmer Gerrit Thomas in 1995. Other members of the band are keyboardist/manager Bjorn Bottcher, live guitarist Frank Schweigert and lyricist Kai Schmidt. The name of the band translates from German to English as "Radio Operator Vogt", this being the surname of a friend of the band who was a military radio operator.[1] The military concept of a radio operator provides a contrast with the musical roles of a DJ or a vocalist using a microphone.
The group appeared on several German compilations and, in 1996, released their debut album Thanks for Nothing. Following the release of two limited edition EPs (Words of Power and Take Care), Funker Vogt signed with the American record label Metropolis Records. Metropolis re-released Thanks for Nothing, followed by the We Came to Kill in late 1997.[1] Kastel and Thomas have participated, as remixers, on Leæther Strip album Yes, I'm Limited, Vol. 2. In 2000, Funker Vogt released Maschine Zeit, followed by the remix EP T in early 2001.[1] Additionally to the core members of the band, concert members also include Björn Böttcher (keyboard) and Frank Schweigert (guitar, he replaced Thomas Kroll in 2004). Kai Schmidt writes most of the lyrics and manages the band through his own management company.[2] They all hail from the town of Hamelin in Germany. The majority of their lyrics revolve around the concepts of war.
A distinctive theme is present in the band's work and stage presence; both their musicianship and their costuming are strongly reminiscent of military music and dress.[3] This military aesthetic is also popular with the band's fanbase. However, the political stance of Funker Vogt is decidedly anti-war; the band cites "war and social injustice" as their primary topics of discussion, noting that the goal of the album Execution Tracks, along with the accompanying video, was to "present the grotesque cruelties and the tragedy of war."
According to the band's website, as of 2011 both Björn Böttcher and Kai Schmidt are no longer collaborating with the band. As a result, Funker Vogt will no longer be managed by REPOMANagement.[4] In 2013, longtime frontman Jens Kästel left the band after his last show on November 30th in Berlin [5]
