I'm stock rooted deodex with Perseus kernal. I flashed thru TWRP recovery and all my apps aren't showing in my Multi-View drawer.
This mod worked for me, or I wouldn't have released it What are you seeing? Only the regular list or what?
I'm a little dense today...so what is the big deal with this MultiWindow exactly? Is this basically what you would get when you long press the HOME button (middle button?) I'm just unsure what function this serves. Is there a YouTube video of this?
Sooo, probably a stupid question, but is stock rom deodex?

Every little hurts
There are a few simple things that I require from government ministers. Taking a broad view, I would be quite interested to know what they are going to do about the funding of the NHS, since it's a very complicated business and I won't pretend for a moment to understand it. A few of them have made it their lives' work, so I'm prepared to defer to them on that one.
On a more personal level, and since they are ultimately responsible for the people who might possibly be able to help me, I'd like to know exactly what government is proposing to do about the bloke who climbed through my living room window and nicked my portable telly.
There are other issues that are no doubt their concern: the pension crisis, benefit fraud, the war in Iraq, gay vicars and what the Monty Python team called the baggage retrieval system at Heathrow. These are all worthy of detailed study by suitably qualified people.
But what I don't need is politicians setting me an example, unless it's Charles Kennedy, since he likes a drink and so do I. And I especially don't want them wasting valuable Commons time worrying about what sort of car I should drive, because I can work that one out for myself.
Apparently, some of these political people are being offered the option of a ministerial Toyota Prius or even a bio-fuelled Jaguar, while at the same time supporting a special tax on 4x4 cars in the interests of the environment. Nothing could be more irrelevant.
Let's assume, for the purposes of this column, that global warming is a real threat and that energy consumption is at the root of it. So that would make big, overweight and thirsty 4x4s a bad thing, obviously.
And what difference, exactly, is a tax going to make to that? If you're rich enough to run a big 4x4, a bit of extra tax isn't going to amount to a hill of beans. More to the point, how does tax save the planet? If 4x4s are such a bad thing, why doesn't the government simply ban them? I conclude that they don't want us to stop driving them at all. They just want some more money.
And the same goes for smoking. If lung disease is such an issue, and the government feels duty-bound to do something about it, why isn't smoking illegal? Taking heroin is, after all. The answer must surely be that smoking is ultimately good for the nation's coffers, and that nobody really wants us to stop. Same goes for binge drinking and driving around in cars.
"I'd tax vegetables grown in Israel and flown to your supermarket, when they're growing just as well in England"
I was asked to take part in a radio debate about this 4x4 tax business, and I dearly wish I'd been available to do so. On the panel was a man from an organisation called something like the Federation Against All-Wheel Drive; that's not quite right but I'm buggered if I'm going to dignify their mealy-mouthed cause by looking it up and getting it right. What I would say to this man is this: if you want to do something good for the world, can't you think of something better than preaching to us about the exact technical specification of the cars we're driving? Can't you go and make some soup for the poor, or mend some old dear's central heating boiler?
I'm not here to defend the motor industry, since it's big and ugly enough to do that for itself. But I will say this, in the 10 years or so that I have been writing about cars, it has made an unparalleled effort to clean up its act. My car today is between 20 and 50 times less polluting than the ones I struggled to own as a student. It caused less pollution during its manufacture, it causes less pollution in use, and it will cause less when it's thrown away.
What other industry or area of commerce has made a similar effort? Fashion? Construction? Other modes of transport? Publishing? Consumer electronics? I can't name one. Every now and then someone comes up with a totally fatuous statistic that shows, for example, how much less CO2 would be produced if we turned our stereos off instead of leaving them on standby. Is that it?
Well, you might be thinking, the car was always a big culprit. But I'm not so sure. Figures I've heard state that road transport (and remember – that includes stinky Latvian tour buses as well as your Vectra) accounts for anything between 11 and 20 per cent of all so-called greenhouse gasses. Even if it's 20 per cent, I'm left wondering about where the other four-fifths are coming from, and yet I hear nothing – nothing – about this in any populist debate about the environment. All I hear is some sanctimonious cant about how if I buy a slightly smaller car everything will be all right.
If I were in power, and I thought taxation was the sovereign salve for all environmental ills, here are a few of the things that would suddenly start costing you a lot more: vegetables grown in Israel and flown to your supermarket, when the same ones are growing just as well in England; replacement kitchens, since the one you have undoubtedly works perfectly well; bottled water from France, since there's perfectly good stuff in the tap; plastic carrier bags, which aren't even made here but are produced in places like China, and even if we recycle them they're sent back to China to be made into more carrier bags and then transported here in ships that burn thousands of litres of heavy fuel oil every day; and so on. These are real-world concerns at least the equal of the Volvo XC90's fuel consumption. Yet the only person I know who talks intelligently on these matters is, remarkably, a car enthusiast. It's Paul Horrell.
I'm not going to be lectured about my driving habits by people who probably haven't bothered to check their loft insulation in the last decade. I have, as it happens, and I've improved it. Leave us alone, and leave our cars alone as well.
Still no news on the stolen telly, by the way.

Cheetah Girls Do Bollywood
By Mike Hughes
The good news about stardom is that it can take you to new heights.
The bad news? Sometimes, those heights are atop a moving elephant.
"I was so petrified," Adrienne Bailon said. "That elephant was just gi-normous."
That was for the Disney Channel's "The Cheetah Girls: One World," which dares to go against the final weekend of the Olympics.
The movie was filmed mostly in India, incorporating local flavor. That explains why the three Cheetahs were atop Ramu, 73, who got on her belly so they could board.
"She was super, super big," Sabrina Bryan said. "We still had to take a ladder to get up into the basket."
Then Ramu walked. Lurching from side to side, the Cheetahs were supposed to sing.
"We're trying to lip-sync and … trying to look kind of pretty," Bryan said."
The combination didn't always work, Kiely Williams said. "At one point (director Paul Hoen) stops us and is like, 'Do you guys know the words to your own song?' And we were like, 'Yes, well, we're trying to concentrate and not die.'"
They didn't die. They emerged with stories to tell and with a pleasant-enough movie musical — one with a predictable plot, bouncy songs and spectacular backdrops.
The idea started with the Cheetah Girls novels, about ethnically diverse friends. For the original (2004) movie in which they became a singing group, Disney hired:
Williams, now 22, and Bailon, 24. They were two-thirds of a New York rhythm-and-blues group, 3LW.
Bryan, now 23, a California actress and dancer.
And Raven-Symone, the only known star in the bunch.
After the first movie came out, the quartet shrank to a trio. "We love Raven, (but she) has her own brand now. … It's just become hard to merge the two brands," said producer Debra Martin Chase.
Yes, there's been talk of adding a fourth Cheetah, possibly Disney actress Brenda Song. And yes, future films are likely to be in exotic places. "I think we're going to Antarctica for the fourth one," jokes Disney executive Gary Marsh.
The second film (2006) was shot in Spain and the third in India. For 10 weeks, the actresses adjusted to a new world.
"You have never seen anything like this," Williams said. "There are no lanes for driving. People make lanes where they want to."
This lane-free life is appealing, she said. "It's awesome. We had such a good time."
The backdrops were stunning, Bryan said. "The women in the streets had this beautiful clothing, with vibrant colors."
None of the filming was in India's famed "Bollywood" studios, but there were song-and-dance numbers — including the elephant one — done in the Bollywood style. There were also key settings.
"When we got to the Monsoon Palace, it was breathtaking," Williams said.
This was new to the Cheetah actresses, but not to their co- stars.
Rupak Ginn and Kunal Sharma were born and raised in the U.S., but have family roots in India. "I grew up going back every year," Ginn said.
Then there's Deepti Daryanani. After growing up in Calcutta, she came to the U.S. to study acting. Instead, she was cast instantly in this movie.
"I just came to the United States and they just sent me back," Daryanani said.
"They were asking me, 'How long have you been here?' So I said, '20 days.'"
Then she was back in her homeland amid a pack of Americans. "She was our personal tour guide," Bryan said.
There was much to adjust to and readjust to, Bailon said. Some of the filming was in Mumbai "and it's like the third noisiest city in the world."
Afterward, she returned to the relative silence of Los Angeles. "I kind of missed all those cars in the streets."

When FBI agent Diana Reyes fell in love with Ryder Latimer, she knew that there were things she would give up. For the passion her vampire lover brought into her life, it seemed a fair trade.
Now she isn't so sure. The darkness vampires walk in wakes something inside her, something that frightens her even as it excites. Something that makes her wish for a more "normal" life.
Ryder understands her fears and has fears of his own: of losing her, of the void that would fill him without her.
But when a case draws Diana into a purely human darkness, Ryder must make a decision: Can he let her go? Or will he step between her and death, no matter if she hates him afterward?
There was no scar at her neck. No fresh wound, raw and bleeding. Instead, the pain was deep inside, as alive in her heart as the day two years ago when her lover had first revealed his vampire nature.
Before Ryder, she hadn't allowed herself to feel anything for anyone, not since her father's death. That she had lowered her defenses and made love with him only to find out he was a vampire had awoken the rage and anger she had thought under control. Dealing with it had been difficult.
Now, it was almost as painful to acknowledge where their two-year love affair had led them-- to the wreckage of her carefully reconstructed life.
Diana grabbed her shot of Cuervo and downed it in one gulp. Then she immediately signaled the bartender for another. But she only stared at the drink in front of her, fingers splayed on the scarred black surface of the bar.
The Blood Bank was a favorite haunt of those in Manhattan's vampire subculture and a great place if one wanted to offer themself up as a treat. But after the day she'd had she only wanted to lick her wounds and hopefully not add any fresh ones.
She didn't want anyone to put the bite on her. Not even Ryder. Not again. Okay, maybe not again, she confessed when the heated recollection of their passion replaced the warmth of the tequila.
A reaction that reminded her all too vividly of why she was here, bleeding on the inside and just barely in control on the surface. A combination sure to bring trouble.
By anyone else'sstandards, it had been an ordinary day. Diana had met her best friend outside a favorite Italian restaurant, a place Diana hadn't been to in months. When, she'd wondered, had she stopped going to her normal haunts and started going almost exclusively to Ryder's?
She'd dismissed the thought upon seeing Sylvia. There had been something different about her friend. She'd seemed positively radiant. Sylvia's coffee-brown eyes had glittered with joy and her smooth olive skin bore a vibrant blush. Eventually, Diana noticed the swell of belly. Her friend not only confirmed the happy news, but asked Diana to be godmother to the baby.
Diana had been happy for Sylvia. At least, that's what she'd told herself initially.
Until Sylvia glanced down at her belly and rubbed her hand lovingly over it. That motherly gesture drove an arrow of pain deep into the middle of Diana's heart.
Her doubts about Ryder, about their relationship, overwhelmed her. Doubts, that if she was honest, she'd been having for months, since her brother had announced the coming birth of his own child. Diana would never know the sensation of a baby growing and moving within her, of seeing herself fecund with child. At least, not if she stayed with Ryder. He was a vampire, undead. He couldn't bestow life. "Are you going to put that drink out of its misery or let it sit there all night?"
Brought back to the present, Diana glared at Foley, the owner of the Blood Bank, as he perched on the bar stool next to her. As always, he was lethally elegant in a fitted black suit that punched up the paleness of his skin and hair and elongated the already sparse lines of his body. With a shrug meant to dissuade his attention, she replied, "I didn't know an inanimate object could feel misery."
The vampire's clear gray eyes darkened. With one finger, he traced her heart-and-dagger tattoo through the fabric of her suit. "They do when they could be in something as delicious as you."
Diana snared his hand and bent his thumb back at an awkward angle. "Don't go there."
Foley's grin didn't waver, although she knew that even with his vampire strength, she was likely causing some hurt. "Did you get that tattoo to prove how tough you are, Special Agent Reyes?"
She laughed harshly and increased the tension of her hold. "I got it to remind me of the pain."
"You enjoy it, don't you?" he asked. A sly look slid into his gaze, hinting that he rather liked the hurt she was currently inflicting on him. She let him go.
"I enjoy dishing it out."
In truth, the tattoo was a reminder not to act impulsively, a trait she had been accused of more than once. After a night of too much tequila, she'd gotten the tattoo to remind herself to guard against the pain she had suffered after losing her boyfriend. Only later did she realize that the knot of sorrow within her had been about the death of her father and all that she believed in. Justice. Honor. Happiness. Herself.
Sitting here, drowning her misery in tequila now, as much as she'd done at nineteen, warned her she was in danger of losing herself again as she had nearly a decade earlier when her dad had died.
"Bad day at the office, Special Agent Reyes?" Foley waved for a drink--a shot glass filled with liquid the color of ripe, succulent cherries. Freshly drawn blood.
"A nouveau Italian straight from Mulberry Street." He held the glass up in a toast.
Despite her earlier recollection about where one too many tequilas might lead her, she hoped a few more would create the right degree of numb. Help her forget about babies, husbands and houses filled with family--the kinds of things Ryder could never give her. She clicked her glass with Foley's and bolted back the Cuervo. The sting made her wince as the liquor burned its way down her throat. Slamming the glass onto the bar, she motioned for another.
"Extremely bad, I guess," Foley said, which only earned him a sidelong glance. He was sipping his drink slowly, savoring the grisly libation.
"What do you want?"
Foley leaned closer. So close that his chilled breath bathed the side of her face. With it came the metallic smell of blood. She almost gagged.
"Just to chat with a friend."
She gave him a forceful nudge in the ribs to remind him he had invaded her space. "You and I aren't--"
"Pals? Chums? Aren't you and Ryder... friendly?"
Ignoring him, she laid her hands on the bar's rough surface. Beneath her palms she registered the bumps, dents and gouges worn into it by misuse, by the violence for which the Blood Bank was known in the undead world. Again the phantom pain came to her neck and she inched her hand upward.
Foley ran the icy pad of his finger over the spot of the long-healed and invisible injury in a caress that made her skin crawl. "He's bitten you, hasn't he? More than once. And not just to feed. Yum." He smacked his lips with pleasure.
She yanked away from his touch, angry with his intrusion into her private life. "So what? Taking a survey?"
"With each bite his control over you grows. Your need for him intensifies until..."
You beg him to take you. To make you like him. Which scared the shit out of her.
She prided herself on having learned control a long time ago. In the year following her father's death, she had lost her restraint and her identity in the ambience of places like the Blood Bank. It was only after waking one morning facedown in vomit, her younger brother passed out beside her, that she realized she was on the road to oblivion and taking her brother with her. She had mustered the strength to deal with her pain, to restore her sense of self and honor. It had taken her a long time to control her rebellion, to choose what she knew was right.
Lately she seemed to have less control over her emotions, over her choices, and worse, she didn't have a clue as to whether her relationship with Ryder was right or wrong. Which only partially explained why she found herself here, in a bar catering to the undead. Sharing a drink with a vampire who would drain her, given the right circumstances. Avoiding the lover who made her plead for a passion so intense....
That was the one thing she knew in her uncertain life. If Ryder was a drug, she was a Ryder junkie.
When she had first met him, Ryder had been living his life as humanly as possible. The attraction between them had been that of woman to man, man to woman. She hadn't known then just how hard it was for Ryder to control the beast within him. Or, worse, how much she would come to like the demon and what it made her feel.
The spot at her neck tingled again. When Ryder had been mostly human, she could tell herself their affair was right, but now that he was finally exploring his vampire powers, now that he was becoming less human she could no longer avoid the truth.
The change hadn't happened overnight. It was only in the past year or so, when they'd become more involved with Manhattan's other vampires, that Ryder had begun to change. She hadn't noticed at first, but recently it had become impossible to ignore. Ryder was darker and more powerful than she could have imagined. Worse yet, she liked his transformation. Too much.

I know I shouldn't be too harsh considering this is a monthly romance, but I am having a difficult time finding its redeeming qualities. I found this novel repetative and lacking sufficient descriptions. Also, for a romance, I had zero success connecting to the characters and thier plight - perhaps due to the abrupt beginning. "Nocturn" is an exciting monthly issue, but "Death Calls" just didn't cut it.
The most fabulous paranormal romance I have ever read is "Full Moon Rising" by Keri Arthur. Check it out - its amazing!

FBI Agent Diana Reyes and her partner, David, were investigating a money-laundering operation when they stumbled upon a CIA case. There had been an experimental prototype for a hand-held smart bomb delivery system stolen from a military base, along with the warheads for same. The Cuban Democratic Army 'CDA' purchased the stolen weapon. (The CDA is a domestic paramilitary group.) Rupert, with the CIA, must work with Diana and her team in tracking down the stolen items before they are used. It is obvious from the beginning that Rupert does not like the fact that Diana is the Special Agent in Charge instead of himself, but he must deal with his own ego about it. .............. At the same time, Diana is dealing with her unusual personal life. Diana's boyfriend is Ryder Latimer, a vampire. When she fell in love with him a couple of years ago, she knew that there were things she would give up, such as never having children. Now that she is seeing her friends pregnant, Diana is not so sure that it is a fair trade after all. Even her brother and his wife is due to have their first child any day now. Diana needs some time and space away from Ryder to think. .............. Ryder is not happy with Diana putting some distance between them, but his honor forces him to give her the time and space she requests. Seeing her with an old college boyfriend hurts, but this is for Diana to decide. Ryder is soon busy dealing with Stacia who has arrived in the area. She is one of the elders, over two thousand years old. With her strong powers, she can manipulate anyone's mind to do her bidding, even other vampires, and she has set her sights on Ryder. ............... Ryder still manages to keep an eye on Diana and her safety. As much as possible anyway. Diana has forced Ryder to promise that should something happen to her, he would let her die and not turn her into a vampire. But even as Ryder makes the vow, he wonders if he would be able to keep it. ......................... ***** Out-freaking-standing! Nocturne is a brand new line of paranormal romances by Silhouette. It looks like author Caridad Piñeiro will help be a big help in making it a smashing success. I found myself hooked from the very first page. Do yourself a favor and make sure you have plenty of reading time before you open the cover. I did not stop reading until the entire story was completed.

After a two years relationship with the vampire Ryder, Diane has second thoughts because if she stays with him she will never have children. She also knows how lonely she was before she met him, but she also does not want him to see her grow old. She rejects the notion of becoming a vampire and spending eternity with her beloved. She asks him to leave, which he reluctantly does now she must forget him and move on.---------- While working on an FBI case investigating the ties between the Cuban Democratic Party and a drug cartel, Diane reunites with her first love Alex, who is undercover inside the CDP. Alex informs Diane that the CDP possess a weapon that they plan to use to either destroy the U.N. or the Cuban Mission. He also makes it clear he wants her she knows that with him she can lead a normal life, but he does not bring out the passion that Ryder does.----------------- Caridad Pinero writes fascinating, innovative, and passionate vampire romances as few authors can. Ryder and Diane are star-crossed lovers fearing their respective dark side while rejoicing in the light of their humanity. Yet her doubts that include his vampirism, her humanity, and Alex make a relationship with Ryder improbable as she knows who is better for her and who brings out the inner fire in her. The investigation adds to an understanding of a heroine who knows time is against her in more ways than just preventing a tragedy. This is a superb supernatural romantic suspense thriller with the need of a sequel starring a two millennium old vampiress who has hardly a scratch of humanity left in her.------------------- Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful?

"The invite was simple, clear, and perfect for the occasion. The color choice was perfect. Everyone that I spoke to was extremely helpful and considerate. Will use them again for my next party."
"These cards are great! Easy to personalize and customize. We had to add a line at the bottom that said "shuttle service will be provided by the hotel". We received a proof within two days. Then we needed to make another change and received a new proof that night. Wedding Paper Divas was very fast in getting us our proofs. The quality is great and we are getting tons of compliments on this card. Our guests love them!"
"We used this invitation for our rehearsal dinner and it came out great. The invitation was elegant yet simple and the quality was beautiful. I highly recommend it."
"Very Elegant invite with excellent quality for value. Excellent customer service and support. Highly recommend and would use again."
"At the last minute, my mom decided to host another dinner during our wedding weekend. I had to scramble a bit to get it pulled together and find appropriate invites different from what we had already used. This wasn't a rehearsal dinner or "day after" brunch invite -- those invites are easy to find. We described this as a Welcome to Washington, DC dinner for our family and out of town wedding guest. This particular invite conveyed the right message and tone. More importantly, Wedding Paper Divas turned around the order in record time. Very high quality printing and paper."

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
In 1984, Congress passed the Hatch-Waxman Act, setting in motion more than 25 years of patent litigation between branded pharmaceutical companies and generic manufacturers and resulting in a significant expansion of generic drugs. Hatch-Waxman, however, only applied to small molecules prepared by chemical synthesis, not larger, more complex, biologic molecules isolated from natural sources. The absence of an abbreviated U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval pathway for biologics was addressed in March 2010 when Congress passed the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act. Although both acts seek to simplify and expedite approval of generic drugs and follow-on biologics while simultaneously respecting patent protection for the innovator's branded products, the two acts contain very significant differences requiring careful strategic planning.
Follow-on biologics can be either biosimilar to the reference product or interchangeable with the reference product. Unlike an AB rated generic, a biosimilar follow-on biologic cannot be substituted by the pharmacist for prescriptions written for the reference product. Only an interchangeable follow-on biologic can be substituted when a prescription is written for a reference product.
Biosimilarity requires that the follow-on biologic be "highly similar" to the reference product and have no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, and potency from the RP. This undefined standard leaves a host of unanswered questions. What range of structural differences between the follow-on biologic and the reference product will be permitted by the FDA under the highly similar standard? What analytical testing will be required to meet that standard? What types of animal and clinical studies will be required to establish that there are no such clinically meaningful differences?

the double tap parry
self defense tecnique
Defensive Tactics for EMS www.dt4ems.net The Beauty of the Double Tap Parry The Double Tap Parry (DTP) is the root of DT4EMS. It is the sole technique that will blend into nearly every self-defense technique. The DTP has within it the very most important move you can make in self-defense…..the Parry. The initial parry is what will protect you from receiving the first part of an attack (punch, slap, grab attempt etc). The second part of the DTP is simply a touch. The touch can either "jam" the attacker, or tell your body where to go to escape. The DTP works best for self-defense because it places you in a nonthreatening, non-aggressive stance. Who is the attacker in this picture? That is what a witness will see too! Remember to appear non-threatening. Get your hands up and open. Knees bent slightly and begin you dialogue to diffuse the situation. Saving yours…while you save others! © Kip Teitsort

I am a huge fan of Nuclear Power, however, I sometimes wonder if all the irrational fear of Nuclear Power was Good for the industry? I kinda think all the negative attention and scare tactics and stuff made the nuclear industry have to go over and above to continue proving, without doubt, that they were safe..
Very true, I live near the Ginna Nuclear plant (and my dad was head of maintenance systems there) when they had an accident in 1982 with a ruptured line near the reactor that released minute traces of radiation in the area. In the next years following they spent over 100 million dollars in planning and upgrades, an epic steam generator replacement, and constructed a full replica of the control room for training that is reguarded as a top facility in the country. The media went nuts over this accident (that released less than 3 millirems in the highest concentrated area) and they responded by improving, and making a plant that once wasent expected to run past y2k, into 2029, and beyond if the upgrade and improvements continue at this pace.

Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth in new 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' clip - watch
Eagerly-anticipated sequel has its world premiere in London next Monday (November 11)Buy Jennifer Lawrence DVDs
from Amazon UK
A new clip from this month's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has been released.
The 40-second teaser features a tense exchange between Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen and Liam Hemsworth's Gale Hawthorne. It premiered during Hemsworth's appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Tuesday (November 5) - watch it 1min20 into the video below.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the sequel to last year's The Hunger Games, an adaptation of the first novel in a trilogy by author Suzanne Collins. The film grossed close to $700 million (£450 million) worldwide, becoming the ninth highest earner of 2012.
Lawrence and Hemsworth are joined in the sequel by fellow returning cast members Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland and Lenny Kravitz. Meanwhile, new additions to the cast for Catching Fire include Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays head gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee, and Sam Claflin, whose character Finnick Odair is a potential love interest for Lawrence's Katniss.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will have its global premiere in London next Monday (November 11) before opening in cinemas worldwide on November 22.
Suzanne Collins' third and final Hunger Games novel, Mockingjay, is being split into two separate films, which are set for release in November 2014 and November 2015. Julianne Moore has joined the cast for the final two movies and will play ruthless leader President Alma Coin.

Things I liked:Rock solid, high quality german air rifle Trigger is very smooth and it is very accurate
Things I would have changed:Some crosshatch or other line work on the stock would be nice
Things I liked:My 34 is a tack driver. It is very finicky about pellets. I have found that if the pellet is the least bit loose going into the breech it is NOT going to shoot that pellet well. I suspect people talking about "droop" are having this issue. I nearly got rid of mine before I found the right pellets, Crosman Premier hollow points. I've tried the Premier Ultra Magnums and the pointed ones and some others and they are loose in the breech and don't shoot well at all. With loose pellets it shoots very low and with greatly reduced velocity. I have about 40 airguns and this is by far one of the most powerful and THE most accurate airgun I own.
Things I would have changed:NOTHING
What others should know:Find the right pellets for this gun and you'll love it.
Things I liked:I'm blessed to have a beautiful air gun collection. From my .357 monster to some really fun pistols. So I go to the different guns depending on what I'm doing. However, the other day I opened my closet, and standing there still ready for action was my first air gun, my rws diana 34 .177 with the original rws scope. Guilty, I took it out, cradled it,sighted it through the scope. What had I been thinking? I took it outside with a stack of pellets of all weights. Set up my target at 30 yds. And started shooting. I must tell you, the Diana 34 hardly differentiated between pellets. From lightweight gamos to heavier Eunjins...bam bam dime sized groups and I'm a "streak shooter"...sometimes I can't miss and other times, well... But I've been shooting the Diana everyday now and it has a prominent spot on my gun rack.
Things I would have changed:Zero.
What others should know:If you're just getting into air gunning or if you're a grizzled veteran and don't have one...what are you waiting for?

If you've read the Women's Murder Club series, then you know that James Patterson and Maxine Paetro can fuse enough action and plots into each volume to fill two books. Unlucky 13, the latest instalment in the series, is no different. However, the amount of action and drama the authors put in here can fill at least three books if not more.
Patterson four main woman characters -- Lindsay Boxer, Cindy Thomas, Claire Washburn, and Yuki Castellano – are back with their share of problems and tactics. When two dead bodies are found inside a wrecked car on the Golden Gate Bridge, Detective Lindsay Boxer doubts that it will be anything as simple as a traffic accident. The scene is more gruesome than anything she has seen before. It definitely wasn't the crash that killed these people. While Lindsay starts to piece this case together, she gets a call she wasn't expecting. Sightings of her ex-colleague-turned-ruthless-killer Mackie Morales have been reported.
Wanted for three murders, Mackie has been in hiding since she escaped from custody. But now she's ready to return to San Francisco and pay a visit to some old friends.
While Lindsay's good life as a new mother becomes stressful, the honeymoon of Yuki Castellano turns into nightmare.
With three plots the novel fails to give justice to either of them. While reading one tends to feel that the writer is rushing into the stories. Had he kept one plot or worked more on each, the novel would have been much better. A positive aspect about the book is being a continuation of series. This never makes you feel stranger to the characters. You are able to relate to the characters immediately.
The action and thrills are in place but lack of punch is a major downfall of the novel. The regular readers of series may find it interesting but those who want to start reading Patterson, this is definitely not the book to pick.

Catawba County authorities launched a homicide investigation after discovering a dead body inside a burning car Thursday in rural Sherrills Ford.
Sheriff Coy Reid said investigators are searching for leads in a situation where he thinks foul play was involved.
Sheriff's deputies first discovered the body about 9:30 a.m. Thursday after a local landowner stumbled upon a smoldering vehicle on a backwoods path off Hopewell Church Road.
The body, which has yet to be identified, will be removed from the vehicle and sent to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy, Reid said.
"We do believe we know who it is," Reid said, adding that the Catawba County Sheriff's Office has not yet released the deceased person's name.

Congress MLAs from Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra on Monday decided to mount pressure on MPs from the regions to quit their posts and fight against the proposed division of Andhra Pradesh.
The MLAs met under the leadership of Lagadapati Rajagopal, who resigned from Parliament and senior leader J C Diwakar Reddy, in the Assembly committee hall this evening and were of the view that efforts being put in by the MPs from the two regions in New Delhi were proving "inadequate.
"You all should step down from your posts and step up the fight against the bifurcation of the state," one of the MLAs said.
According to the MLAs, they were watching the developments in New Delhi very keenly and their future course of action would depend on the high command's decision. Two MLAs of PRP and some Congress MLCs too attended the meeting.
Lagadapati, supposed to launch an indefinite hunger-strike here today against the division, was taken into preventive custody soon after his arrival in Hyderabad from New Delhi.
On the instructions of Chief Minister K Rosaiah, Rajagopal was set free in the afternoon and the two met at the former's residence along with Diwakar Reddy.
'Don't flare up'
Rosaiah requested Rajagopal not to flare up the issue by sitting on a fast.
"The situation is already tense. Why should you aggravate it," Rosaiah reportedly told Rajagopal and asked him to drop the move.
Later, the Lok Sabha MP said Rosaiah told him that the resolution on Telangana could not be tabled in the Assembly as the House was adjourned abruptly in view of the en masse resignation of MLAs from Andhra and Rayalaseema.
Rajagopal then gave up the plan to launch an indefinite fast "temporarily". However, he told the MLAs and MLCs at the meeting this evening that he would mobilise about a lakh people tomorrow to launch a fast.
The MLAs and MLCs will assembly at the statue of Potti Sriramulu, who laid down his life for the formation of Andhra state, and pay homage before taking up their fast.
Meanwhile, Congress MLAs from Telangana met this afternoon and passed a resolution thanking AICC president Sonia Gandhi for initiating the process for creation of a Telangana state. They decided to organise a felicitation meet in Hyderabad for Sonia Gandhi here on December 16.
Speaking after the meeting, former home minister K Jana Reddy appealed to the MLAs from Andhra and Rayalaseema regions to take back their resignations.
"It's a hard-fought victory for people of Telangana after many decades. Please do not create problems for a separate state. Also, do not make any comments that will spread hatred among people of different regions," he appealed to the Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.
Course of action
On the other hand, TDP MLAs from Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana met separately to chalk out a course of action.
The Telangana TDP MLAs threatened to split the party if it went back on its promise of supporting statehood for Telangana. "Our party is committed to Telangana. We will launch the Telangana Telugu Desam if the TDP does not keep its promise on a separate state," senior MLA Errabilli Dayakar Rao said.
The Andhra and Rayalaseema MLAs said they would step up the agitation against the division of the state. They too demanded all MPs from the regions step down from their posts immediately in support of a unified Andhra Pradesh.

Hi all! First post here, so I apologize for bad English
During WW2 gasoline was rationed and in short supply. In Great Britain, United States, Germany and Finland, large numbers of such generators were constructed or improvised to convert wood and coal into fuel for vehicles. Commercial generators were in production before and after the war for use in special circumstances or in distressed economies.
This is the story of expropriated car by Finnish Army during Continuation War 1941-44

Free Picks: Premium Service Plays for Wednesday, December 16,2009
Re: Free Picks: Premium Service Plays for Wednesday, December 16,2009
I'm playing on Dallas and Oklahoma City to finish UNDER the total. I played on the Mavericks to finish below the total in their most recent game. That resulted in a relatively easy winner as they combined with the Hornets for just 184 points. It was the fifth time in their last six games that the Mavs had combined with their opponent for less than 200 points - the other had 203 and that was against high-scoring Phoenix - a game that had a total of 216.5. Overall, four of those six games stayed below the total with an average combined score of only 186. The Thunder have also been involved in a number of low-scoring games recently. In fact, the UNDER is a perfect 4-0 their last four games. Even though they've played some high-scoring teams, like Denver and Golden State, none of those games finished with greater than 196 points. The Mavs haven't played at team from the Northwest Division since way back on 11/13. That games, which came vs. Minnesota, produced a mere 166 combined points. Including that result, they've seen the UNDER go a highly profitable 64-33 their last 97 games vs. foes from the Northwest. Given those stats, its not surprising to learn that the Mavs have seen the UNDER go 6-2 the last eight times that they faced the Thunder/Sonics. Looking back further and we find the UNDER at 12-5 the last 17 meetings in this series. That includes a 8-1 mark when the Thunder/Sonics were the home team. The Mavs only previous trip to OKC saw the teams combine for 183 points. I expect another relatively low-scoring affair this evening. Note that the total has climbed a couple of points from its opener, providing us with some additional line value. *8 Blue Chip
I'm taking the points with UAB. The Bearcats have already recorded some big wins and are certainly worthy of respect. That said, given the situation and venue, I believe that the wrong team is favored in this one.
Cincinnati is off a very tough double-OT loss vs. rival Xavier on Sunday. That was their first true road game and even Coach Cronin acknowledged: "My guys lost their cool. We were concerned about everything except executing offensively and defensively..." That type of loss can be tough to recover from, particularly as they battled back only to eventually lose. Now, they take on a well-rested UAB team which has won seven straight games and which is perfect at home on the season.
While the Bearcats may still be thinking about the Xavier loss, this is a very important game for the Blazers. UAB admittedly lost a number of key players from last year's team. However, the cupboard is far from bare. Elijah Millsap (Paul's brother) has been excellent. He's averaging 15.8 points and 9.3 rebounds. Senior F Howard Crawford, the team's top returning scorer from last year, is averaging a healthy 14.2 points and 3.9 boards. Meanwhile Jamarr Sanders is contributing 11.3 points and four rebounds per game, while averaging 2.7 assists. Speaking of assists, Aaron Johnson is leading the team with 4.2 assists per game, to go along with his 9.4 points. The junior produced 123 assists with just 63 turnovers last season. He's one of the Blazers' all-time assist leaders and UAB entered this season with a 26-7 record when he'd managed at least four assists.
That's not all though. The NCAA ruled that transfers George Drake and Kenneth Cooper, both of who already graduated from their previous schools, were eligible to play for the Blazers this season. The pair or seniors are combining to average 14.5 points and 8.2 rebounds. Prior to the season, Coach Davis had this to say of the NCAA ruling: "This is great news. You are talking about two fifth-year seniors with over 170 college games played between them. They will give us leadership, depth and maturity. We are very excited to have them cleared to play with us..."
UAB lost by seven at Cincinnati last season. They crushed the Bearcats (73-54) when the teams met here the previous season though. They also won 80-69 the previous time (2004) that they hosted the Bearcats.
The Bearcats are 0-3 ATS their last three games and 1-4 ATS the last five times that they were listed as favorites. They're just 2-8-1 ATS the last 11 times that they were favored by two points or less. They're 2-5 ATS their last seven against CUSA teams and 3-9-1 ATS the last 13 times that they played a road game with a total in the 120s.
While the Blazers haven't played the type of schedule that Cincinnati has, this is their chance to show that they're capable of playing with and beating a good team from a top tier conference. They've had the game circled and I expect them to rise to the challenge, scoring the minor upset. *10 Best Bet
Re: Free Picks: Premium Service Plays for Wednesday, December 16,2009
I'm playing the Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Minnesota has been a serious money-maker of late, cashing eight of their last nine tickets. Last time out they even knocked off heavily favored Utah, 110-108, in Salt Lake. Tonight, they have a shot at their first two game win streak of the season, and a shot to avenge a pair of defeats to the Clippers already this season. LAC won both meetings at home, but Minnesota covered both. The T-Wolves fell 93-90 and 91-87 in Los Angeles. Obviously, with the close final scores, you can see that the T-Wolves had their chances to win both games. When Kurt Rambis took the coaching job in Minneapolis, he knew it would take time to introduce the "Triangle" attack to his new team. While they are just 4-21 SU, they are playing much better basketball as evidenced by the big ATS run. They are 3-6 SU after winning just one of their first 16 games. As mentioned, they took the Clippers to the wire twice in those first 16 outings, but lost by an average of 15.3 ppg in their other 13 losses. Their last six losses have come by just 8.3 ppg, and they have faced stiff opposition. As they begin to see a little light at the end of the tunnel, they're hosting a team that they know they can beat, and one that has been a horrible bankroll burner away from home. The Clippers have covered just nine of their last 32 road games. They have also covered just 22 of their last 67 when playing on just one day of rest. The Clippers have been welcomed competition to teams with losing home records, going 0-4 ATS the last four times. The T-Wolves have been perfect when playing with one day of rest, going 4-0, 100% ATS, and they have covered five of their last six against losing teams. Those final three situations add up to a 13-1 spot on the home team. The T-Wolves have played their best basketball against the Jazz and the Clippers. They have beaten Utah twice, and now grab their first win of the season over LAC. I'm playing the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
I'm playing Cincinnati on Wednesday night. Bearcat coach Mick Cronin said he's happy to be on the road as he looks to refocus his team following their overtime loss to Xavier. UC heads to Birmingham ranked 25th in the nation, and they're actually 6-0 in regulation, with both losses (Gonzaga & Xavier) coming in overtime. Cronin has been pleased with his team's progress, but wants to challenge the "big boys" of the Big East this season. The most improved part of this season's team is their depth. Cinci has had some problems with their reserve players over the last couple of seasons, and the team has worn down when the starters needed a break. But this year's squad goes 10-deep. Nine players have seen action in all eight games, while a 10th player has played in seven games. All 10 of those players are averaging at least 9 minutes played per contest. In fact, it's UAB who has the depth problems this season. Mike Davis' Blazers are off to an 8-1 start. They have looked pretty decent, but against soft opposition, for the most part. The Blazers returned just one starter from last year's edition, and Davis has a total of nine newcomers on the roster. Injuries and academic problems have hurt the Blazer bench in the past. This season, it's primarily due to new players, and the fact that they just aren't as talented as they were a couple of years ago. Last April, this team had just five scholarship players on the roster and Davis was flirting with the idea of taking his coaching expertise to Washington State. He decided to hang around, and now must rebuild, practically from the ground floor. As you can see, while they are 8-1, I just don't believe this team is nearly as good as their record. Only seven players have seen action in at least eight games this season. Two regulars, forwards Cameron Moore and Ovie Soko are both questionable for tonight's game. UAB has relied on their backcourt, especially Elijah Milsap. But tonight, they'll face the best backcourt they have seen this season, led by Deonta Vaughn, who scores in double-figures, while posting a 4.0 to 1.9 assist-to-turnover ratio. Cinci plays outstanding team defense and I believe they're going to wear down the depth-shy Blazers. The Bearcats hold the opposition to 38% shooting. They force four more turnovers per game than assists allowed per game. Cronin's troops out-rebound their opponents by an average of 40-29 per contest, and they're allowing just 59.6 ppg in regulation. Just one team has topped 62 points (sans OT) against them this season. And Cinci held Vanderbilt, Maryland, Gonzaga, and Xavier, to 78 of 211 from the field, or 36.9% shooting, including 17 of 66, or 25.7% from behind the arc. UAB has not fared well against strong defensive teams, covering just six of their last 18 against teams that hold the opposition to 64 ppg or less. UAB has not found much success against Big East opponents either, going 0-5 ATS, and they're 0-4 ATS the last four times as a dog of 1 to 5 1/2 points. In fact, UAB is just 12-22 ATS as an underdog with Mike Davis calling the shots, and they have covered just 8 of their last 26 when the line range is +3/-3. UAB has performed well with what they have, but I believe they're in for a bit of a reality check tonight. I'm playing Cincinnati on Wednesday, my Non-Conference Knockout of the Month.
I'm laying the points with Northern Colorado on Wednesday night. It wasn't too long ago when the Bears of Greeley held an RPI ranking of 336 in division-1 college basketball. But they head into Wednesday's home tilt with UL-Monroe ranked 22nd in the Mid-Major Top-25. UNC will be playing just their second home game of the season, despite this being their 11th game, overall. The Bears, at 8-2, are off to their best start through 10 games in their 108 years of basketball. Coach Tad Boyle, has a deep team in his fourth season in Greeley. Nine players have seen action in all 10 games, and eight of those players are averaging at least 14 minutes played per contest. Six players are scoring between 7.1 ppg and 16.3 ppg. Guard Will Figures leads the way in scoring and he and backcourt mate Devon Beitzel are a pain for opposing backcourts, averaging 3 1/2 steals per game. The two guards are averaging almost 30 ppg combined, despite playing all but one game away from home. The Bears are one of the more effecient perimter teams in the nation, ranking 8th in three-point FG percentage a season ago. Their numbers are slightly down this season, but I suspect they'll climb right back up to last year's numbers, playing nine of their next 14 games at home. UNC won the Rainbow Classic in November, knocking off host Hawaii, 81-75 in the championship game. They also own an impressive win over Big Sky opponent, Montana, who were picked for a second place finish in the conference by most. UNC had plenty of opportunities to beat Wyoming in Casper over the weekend, but couldn't overcome one-sided officiating. The Bears lost by just six points, 76-70, despite being whistled for 31 personal fouls. They were out-shot at the FT line, 43 to 18. Tonight, they'll host UL-Monroe for the first meeting between the two schools. The Warhawks (3-6) have dropped four straight, allowing 80.8 ppg on 49.8% shooting, including 38% from area code three. That's bad news against a team that normally shoots "lights-out" from the outside. ULM has not found their shooting touch this season. They're connecting on just 38% of their shots during the losing streak. And even though they may get some point-guard depth back tonight (backup Kenneth Averette may return) he won't be able to make up for the Warhawks horrible assist-to-turnover ratio. ULM has more turnovers than assists in each of their nine games this season, including games against Alcorn State and Grambling State. They have just 75 assists in nine games, or 8.3 apg, with 172 turnovers, or 19.1 tpg. They may be able to sneak by Alcorn and Grambling with numbers like that, but not when they venture on the road against stiffer opposition. This is also a conference sandwich spot for the Warhawks. They're off a 17-point loss to SBC frontrunner North Texas, and have a road game at Denver up next. I expect the Bears to take advantage of ULM's weak ball-handling, and their poor perimeter defensive play to get right back in the win column. UNC is on a 22-7-1 ATS run following a SU loss, and they're 14-2 ATS the last 16 times off a spread loss. How do they fare against teams outside of the Big Sky? How about 15-6-1 ATS the last 22 times. This is a great spot for the Bears and I'm laying the points. Northern Colorado is my Wednesday night Knockout.

Dwayne Bryant
Los Angeles Clippers at Minnesota Timberwolves
Bet: Minnesota Timberwolves -1
First, I love the line movement here. The Clipps opened as a 1-point favorite and despite 70% of the reported bets coming in on them, this line has gone as far as Minnesota -1.5.
I also love how Minnesota is playing right now. They've covered eight of their last nine games, and have been very competitive at home. The Clipps are coming off a huge come-from-behind home win over Washington. This is the first game of a six-game road trip. Not the best of spots for LA.
The 'Wolves are also playing with double same-season revenge. Minny has visited the Clipps twice this season. And while they lost both meetings, it should be noted that they did cover both contests, and the total margin of defeat for the two games was only seven points. It should also be noted that Minnesota F/C Kevin Love (13 points & 12 rebounds per game) did not play in either of those games. His presence and the change of venue will reverse the 'Wolves' fortunes in this series tonight. Take Minnesota.
Re: Free Picks: Premium Service Plays for Wednesday, December 16,2009
Thanks Blade, no worries here. Quick question for you. Any opinion on Mr. Frank Patron? I will be completely honest and say for the last month I've been fading the hell out of this guy and have been pretty successful... I'm not saying every play, but a majority for sure. He seems to play majority of the faves. If I'm on the fence with a game, I've just been checking what ole' Tequila played, fade it and check in the moring if the drunk pick was a winner or not. This is not a system by any means, just curious if you had any backround on him. Thanks bro, appreciate it. Michael Cash, if you read this please drop a line as well if you have any info. Thanks gents, good luck this weekend!
Re: Free Picks: Premium Service Plays for Wednesday, December 16,2009
Frank Patron is a 50% capper I would say but does seem to have some lengthy winning/losing streaks I have noticed. Brandon Lang is the very best fade hands down and he is money in the bank if you just fade him. I fade 98% of these guys especially when you see all them on the same like a MNF game.
