Coutry Kitchen: Not staple, but the German pankakes, G'damn
In the heart of LI Wine Country this spot makes for a easy layover, a much needed sponge to sop up some of the wine that may be filling your insides by now. The menu was rather suprising, creative for being this far from NYC. The taste, perfect for lunch, and not so heavy for those who roil the town over for a "light lunch". I got down with the German Strawberry Pankakes and Yukes gorged herself with the Salmon. All done perfectly. I must mention their wine list, Lenz winery (a favorite of mine) produced some wines specifically for them for the by the glass sale. They also have a few other local wines taking up spot.
Favorite Dish: German Strawberry Pankakes, doughy heaven.

Varney's: Another amazing discovery
It's truley a shack. Theres no more than 10 tables, a slight bar, foggy windows, and a facade that reminds me of the morning after a severe drinking binge. But all on its lonesome, I had many questions about this restaurant. Situated a lonely stretch of Montauk Highway somewhere between Mastic and Patchogue, this rundown building housed the best seafood I have had yet on Long Island. After waitng 15 minutes for a table the owner seated us to deliver tastes I searched every shoreline for. Extensive below sea-level selections quickly gave me amnesia to my surroundings. 25 yrs. of service to the community sure paid off and speaking of pay...you won't pay a lot for this muffler.
Favorite Dish: Yuki had the Cod which was smothered in mushrooms and a brown sauce which I did get jealous that I didn't order it but I had the Mahi-Mahi cajun style which quelled my licking of lips while staring at Yuki's plate. Get some mussels in the red sauce....aaaa forget it, try anything..I'm sure it's great.

SEN: Japanese this east?
The far east is easy to find fine Japanese offerings for this is geographically the positioning of the long slender strip of volcanic deposit. When the search for Japanese anything occurs on the long strip of sand in the far east of NY state the findings become that more of a scavenger hunt. Yuki's native dishes are usually so Americanized out that fish only bares its head in the Sushi selection. Anyone who has spent even a second on the Islands of Japan knows fish weaves itself into almost everything. If Japanese cuisine is sought on LI, good luck finding any authenticity. For one very great attempt at bringing the FAR EAST to the Far east end of Long Island stop in SEN. I just wish the menu had at least one Japanese character on it.

Katie Daly''s: Irish Pub and Restaurant
A good time was had by all when members of my mother's side of the family gathered for a reunion. Our cousin Tom made reservations for dinner at Katie Daly's in Massapequa (Long Island) in New York. A very nice Irish pub and restaurant, this place must have been hopping on St Patrick's Day.
Although the table is set with linens and candles the atmosphere is casual, our group can be particularly loud at times (enough to wake the dead) and we did not seem to bother anyone.
The service was good and the waitress was capable of handling our large party of 11 people.
Favorite Dish: The food was excellent and generous in it's portions. I had a sliced skirt steak sandwich on garlic bread with the most delectable garlic french fries. Several at our table had the Shepherd's Pie. It was big enough to feed two people with the vegetables and whipped potatoes on top. My husband had the bangers and mash (sausage and potatoes) which he praised the delicate flavor.
Katie Daly offers a full bar and the bartender poured a "perfect pint" of Guiness without any effort at all.

Lawan Thai Restaurant: They are really Thai
Long Island restaurants are never really suprising. They take meat cook it, plate it and never dress it. Fish only gets broiled or fried and the burger seems to be staple. Ethnicity is usually forged, where Chinese is AMERICAN CHINESE, Koreans make so called SUSHI, Mexicans make Japanese, and well the food just usually plain SUCKS. Yuki and I come from a wide variety of tastes and search high and low, far and near for food that will at least set a smile and leave us with a feeling that it was money well spent. Till now the price hasn't fit the taste until happening upon LAWAN. Thai in its origin, (chef and staff as well) the food was right on. Currys were perfect, duck was taken out of the frier in time, Pad Thai noodles to correct Al Dente-ness, decor brought you worlds away with a clean distinguished look not over-done, and there was Thai spoken on premises. I would give this place whatever letter comes before A+++.
Favorite Dish: That Duck with pineapples in Red Curry. Lick my chops over and over.

THE BELLPORT: A real restaurant
Finally something that arrived on the plate set in front of me that I can actually rave about. This is what I have been searching all the small towns of Long Island for. Living there put a dire need to find a spot I can eat and feel that I am one- getting good food, and two- it was worth the price. The Bellport's owners landed in the quaint village via passage through Manhattan, London and D.C. and with them have brought far-fetched knowledge of how food should be prepared and the importance of using local product. On an Island one would thing the sea's givings would be commonplace in establishments, but all too many restaurants get some stock menu and broil anything they can. This disguising of flavor I push away. The Bellport did land and sea correct. I opted for the local Long Island Duck where Yuki hooked in some Tuna all prepared to perfection. I will reccommend you get yourself the Escargot sitting atop the Artichoke hearts a unique but perfect combo. The interior, atmosphere and taste add up to surpass many city establishments, a search I can only've hoped to find out here. I will now mark this place as a regular stop just as the dog did, just beyond the glass outside.
Favorite Dish: They did have Opus One on the menu along with a Old Vine Lenz Merlot.

The Coasl Grill: Local Catches
Suggestions of locals are my only way of eating in unbeknowest lands. Asking retail workers at high end boutiques will set you in the right direction. We were pointed to a place with good food if it wasn't atmosphere and trendiness we sought. Trendiness usually lacks in taste so we went to this place for the local catches and fish. Wine list consisted of imports and LI own wine, check one. Food was from the waters that surrounded us, check two. The bill wasn't the sme as a doctor visit, check three.

Mermaid: The Nautical Mile
Freeport has always been a piece of the Long Island map but not part of my personal map. I knew it was on the water and I knew Nassau County claims ownership. I've heard of the Nautical Mile and always had a wondering urge to see it for myself since a hunt for restaurants in the new is always part of my agenda. So Yukijohn cruised on over to the Nautical Mile so called because its a mile of restaurants and shops on both tar and water, boat and car accessible. The beaches find of a blue claw crab leg put a sudden urge for Crab Legs into the appetite of Yukijohn and it was undying. A few stops along the MILE surmounted and landed our little rearends in chairs sitting harborside with a large basket of KIng Crab legs and a night filled of agita.
Favorite Dish: Them King Crab Legs.

Violet Cove: Outside Bar on the Great South Bay
The place serves of HUGE portions of seafood and shellfish. Thats not just the reason to come. If its a hot summer night come down to drink a RED STRIPE while looking at the bay. They installed a full service bar outside, and there is rumors of a boat taxi that will take you to and from the campsites across the bay at Smith Point County park. Also there will be some crazy suburban band trying to rock.
Favorite Dish: Get some RED STRIPE, also their mussels come in a huge pail.

Pages: Coffee House, in Mastic Beach?
This is the one and only place you are going to find a coffee house in Mastic Beach. Its on the way to William Floyd Estate from the Otis Pike Wildness Area and Smith Point County Park. The interior includes a indoor screened seating area and some outdoor seating. They have the usual coffeehouse flair and sometimes they have live music. At least it is an option to Starbucks which is an infection spreading quickly across the Island. The big rumor is the owners are from the city so with them they bring something new to these parts.
And guess what... there is no drive up window, good thing, get out of your car for a minute.
Favorite Dish: Gimme a doubleshot of the Espresso please.

Land office OKs city's beach plan
Voters have final decision on vehicle access in Nov. 7 vote
Open Beach Act Rules
State law allows coastal cities and towns to ban vehicles on beaches within their limits if they meet several conditions:
Source: Caller-Times Information Services
If voters approve the ban during the Nov. 7 election, the plan still would be subject to a public comment period before it could become law, land office spokesman Jim Suydam said.
The agency must hold a public comment period if at least 20 people request one, and Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson knows that the hotly debated issue likely would draw that, Suydam said.
Land office staff would take about a month to respond to each comment, and if no inconsistencies with the law are found, the plan could be filed to become law in January. The plan would become law - meaning the city could enforce the ban - 20 days after the filing, likely sometime in February.
City Manager Skip Noe sent Patterson a memo Aug. 29, the date the council approved the plan, stating the city wanted a formal ruling before the election. Voters will decide whether to close 7,200 feet of beach to vehicles from the south jetty to Padre Balli Park in order to attract a $1.5 billion resort that includes hotels, homes, restaurants and shops.
City leaders hailed the land office's decision as an important step that proves their commitment to beach access, while ban opponents, organized as the Beach Access Coalition, questioned the ruling.
"The commissioner felt it was important that (the tram) be there to assist people on the 1,800-foot hike," Suydam said.
The land office also wants the city plan to ensure the 30-space parking lot next to the south jetty be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Without that specificity there would be no guarantee," Suydam said.
The City Council would have to approve the changes.
Mike McCutchon, Beach Access Coalition spokesman, said he believes the plan does not follow state law. The Beach Access Coalition opposes the vehicle ban.
"I think Mr. Patterson is overlooking dune protection law," McCutchon said. A parking lot is shown to be partially on top of dunes in city maps, but Noe said the maps are not detailed schematics meant to show exact locations. Engineering studies still would be necessary for parking lot placement, he said.
Tom Utter, special assistant to the city manager, said the ruling gives voters answers prior to the election.
"The plan the city has promised, which is now before the voters, meets the Texas Open Beaches Act, so that's not really an issue any more," Utter said.
McCutchon had questions about the wording that a tram run at all hours except for times of negligible demand. The coalition has argued it would be hard for anglers and surfers to reach the south jetty.
"Who's interpreting that (negligible demand)?" McCutchon said. "I would rather it say you can drive to the jetty if the tram is not running. That's a little more clear."
If voters approve the ban, it likely wouldn't be enforced until early 2007, after the public comment period.
The city had planned to ban traffic on 4,200 feet in front of the seawall immediately if voters approved the plan. The resort developer must meet construction benchmarks before the beaches to the north and south of the seawall could be closed to traffic.
Noe said the extra time for the plan to gain final approval and become law would not set back the development plan because the only beach to be closed to traffic in the near future was in front of the seawall.
"We understand that the rule-making process takes time," Noe said.
The beach ballot language also is in dispute. McCutchon has asked a state judge for an injunction against the city, saying the ballot language misleads the public so they will vote for the ban. City leaders have defended the wording and said it accurately describes their intent to provide a beach that is closed to traffic and safe for pedestrians.
A hearing is set for Friday, although ballots already have been set for the election.

MF Review: JCW Alcantara Steering Wheel
The steering wheel is the single most used interface of a car and it's the most important input device for both the track and the road. Generally speaking, thicker wheels with softer, grippier surfaces are preferred by performance oriented drivers. And since the E28 M5, BMW has been installing just that in it's M line of performance oriented cars. So it makes sense that MINI would offer something similar from the JCW brand.
With the current generation MINI, BMW has decided to sell much of the components typically standard on M cars as a la carte options. Because of this, the JCW steering is a stand-alone accessories that can only be ordered at MINI service counters. It's a beneficial strategy for those who don't want or need the full JCW package, not as beneficial for the owners who just shelled out $30,000+ for a car with a standard steering wheel.
The JCW wheel comes in two flavors, full leather and alcantara/leather. Both retail in the US for $585 and are available worldwide (and for cheaper if you shop around). My alcantara and leather wheel came from newministuff.com in the UK.
One thing that seems to have confused many of those looking at purchasing the new wheel are the carbon fiber inserts that were shown in the original press pics. Most seemed to assume that meant the wheel was only available with those inserts and only available without the multi-function controls. Both of these assumptions are incorrect. The carbon fiber inserts are purely optional. And for those with a MFSW, you can easily move over your existing controls to the JCW wheel. In fact that's exactly what I did when I installed mine.
And speaking of installation, it's a very straightforward procedure. Not counting the disconnecting of the battery (a must when working around the airbag) the total time it took to swap wheel was around 20 minutes. The one tricky portion of the install is carefully cutting two small slits in the back of the airbag cover (exacto knife preferred) and releasing the clips that hold the airbag. However once you get the feel for it, it becomes a quick procedure.
One of the biggest improvements the wheel makes is in grip. Behind the leather and alcantara is a layer of what must be some kind rather resilient foam padding. This allows for both more grip in spirited driving and greater comfort on long trips. The leather (on both versions) is also softer and of a seemingly higher quality of that found on the stock three-spoke steering wheel. It feels indentical to the leather found on the M3 and Z4 M Coupe wheels.
Unlike the full alcantara wheels found in some BMWs, the alcantara JCW wheel uses leather on the portion of the wheel that would see the most wear. This addresses the wear concern that many have with the suede-like alcantara. It also gives a defined tactile point that subtly reminds a driver where they're at in the turn to lock ratio while in tight corners.
The palm rests are also a bit more pronounced on the JCW wheel while being slightly shorter. This, combined with the thicker of the wheel, has worked very well with my larger hands. The end result is a wheel that feels as if it has been tailored to fit me like a glove.
On the face of it, a $500 steering wheel seems like a ridiculous luxury considering the stock MINI wheel is more than adequate. However I will say this, once you feel this wheel, you'll have a hard time not wanting it. So if you're on a MINI related budget, don't even look at it, don't pick it up, and for the love of God, don't sit down in a car with one. In fact, if the MSRP was closer to what NewMINIStuff charges for the wheel in the UK (under $400) this could have been our second perfect score review. It's that good.
There's this intangible feeling you get with a thick, soft wheel covered in something like alcantara (or even soft leather). It gives you the impression of something substantial and sure-footed. Perhaps the greatest gift the JCW wheel gives to the performance minded driver is confidence. That, combined with greater comfort on longer trips and an subtly improved look, make the JCW steering wheel a must have for the MINI owner looking for that final touch. It would also be a great first first modification or a GP owner.
MotoringFile Rating: 4.5 (out of five)
Where to Buy: The JCW Leather or Alcantara/Leather Steering wheel retails for $580 and is available at all MINI dealers worldwide. However you can find it from several MotoringFile sponsors for much less:
NewMINIStuff: $380 + shipping from the UK
Morristown MINI: $468 + shipping
Knauz MINI (MF discount available)
Patrick MINI
MINI of Manhattan
DIY: Official MINI Installation Instructions PDF (thanks Dave)
Installation Note: The JCW Steering wheel only works as an upgrade to the three-spoke wheel available from 2005 onward.

DNR Both Burns and Warns About Burning
A state agency is simultaneously warning about fires and planning to set them. The DNR has warned about the high potential for wildfires across Wisconsin so far this year. Greater, apparently, than in years past because of the lack of snow cover. But the DNR also sent out notice this week that it plans its regular prescribed burns for this spring.
The agency says without the use of prescribed burning as a management tool, Wisconsin could lose many of its native grassland, wetland, woodland plant communities. Typical burns range in size from 10 to 25 hundred acres and the DNR says they only burn when it's safe to do so. Meanwhile, the agency has responded to nearly two hundred uncontrolled wildfires so far this spring.
Boat Launch Permit Sales Exceed Expectations
It's possible, the city of La Crosse parks department may have to go back to the printers to get more boat launch permits. Depends on how many they sell in the first year of the passes. But they're a hot commodity so far. Recreation supervisor Jay Odegaard says he's sold more than five hundred since the first of the year. Impressive, considering there was ice on the river until just a few weeks ago. We asked Odegaard if that's what he expected. Not really, he says
Odegaard expects a big push for the boat launch permits once spring is more than a couple days old.
Oktoberfest Board and City Meet Today to Talk Fees
A solution to an Oktoberfest dilemma could be reached today. Representatives from the fest board and the city meet to discuss thousands of dollars in new fees the city wants from the board for its parades.

Severson also wants to settle the fee issue not just for this year's fest but for upcoming years as well.
Shilling Not Happy With Session
La Crosse lawmaker, Jennifer Shilling, is not happy with the shape that Wisconsin is in. And the democratic Senator shared her displeasure with WIZM news.
And Shilling says major initiatives dealing with access to venture capital and mining reform have failed to pass as a result of the unwillingness by Republican legislators to find reasonable compromises. She say that has got to change next year.
Holmen About To Grow....More.

Pain Management Medication Types »
"Types (classes) of pain medication
Pain medications are drugs used to relieve discomfort associated with disease, injury, or surgery. Because the pain process is complex, there are many types of pain drugs that provide relief by acting "...
Codeine Phosphate
Codeine phosphate is a centrally active analgesic. When administered parenterally, 120 mg of codeine phosphate produces an analgesic response equivalent to that from 10 mg of morphine. Other actions include respiratory depression; depression of the cough center; release of antidiuretic hormone; activation of the vomiting center; pupillary constriction; a decrease in gastric, pancreatic, and biliary secretion; a reduction in intestinal motility; an increase in biliary tract pressure; and an increased amplitude of ureteral contractions.
Onset of analgesia following intramuscular or subcutaneous administration occurs within 10 to 30 minutes. The effect persists for 4 to 6 hours.
Most of a dose of codeine is excreted within 24 hours, 5% to 15% as unchanged codeine and the remainder as a product of glucuronide conjugates of codeine and its metabolites.

The optical design also has a lot to do with the quality of the oof areas, not just the aperture blades, although they can help a lot. I personally like using shallow dof for certain photographs, gives a more pleasing 3D effect, so the quality of the oof areas are very important (notice that I haven't used the "B" word yet)
I suspect like others have stated, that the dollars have caused the modern trend towards minimal blades, but also the auto diaphragm function must require less moving parts. It is pleasing to see that some manufacturers are coming back to designing lenses that have a more pictorial quality rather than clinical sharpness (Cosina/Voigtlander are a good example)
From an aesthetic point of view, those old multi bladed apertures are a thing of beauty.

Joe Paterson's horrible start tops all other horrible starts
Apr 24, 2012, 1:01 AM EDT
After entering with a 9-0 lead to start the ninth inning Monday, Diamondbacks left-hander Joe Paterson gave up five straight hits, including back-to-back homers, to the Phillies. He was charged with five runs without retiring a batter, and he now has a 37.12 ERA on the season.
As a Rule 5 pick a year ago, Patterson allowed a total of 11 runs in 34 innings, good for a 2.91 ERA. He's already matched that total of runs allowed in 2 2/3 innings this season. In his last two appearances, he's allowed 10 consecutive batters to reach, nine via a hit. Overall, he's allowed 15 hits in 23 official at-bats, good for a .652 average against.
If Paterson doesn't pitch again this season — and it's a good bet that he will be optioned to Triple-A prior to Tuesday's game — that .652 would be a historic mark. No one in major league history has ever finished a season with that many hits allowed in so few innings pitched. The worst average against of anyone to pitch at least 2 2/3 innings belongs to David Moraga, who had a .625 average against in 2 2/3 innings in 2000. The highest average against for anyone to allow 15 hits in a season is the .579 mark against the Cardinals' Brady Raggio in 1998 (22 H in 7 IP).
It'd also be the highest going by appearances. Paterson has appeared in six games with a .652 average against. The next highest for anyone to appear in six games was .583 against the Mets' Tim Hamulack in 2005. It wouldn't quite set the five-appearance record: the Tigers' Dave Gumpert had a .700 average against in five appearances in 1982 and the Yankees' Tony Fossas had a .667 average against in five appearances in 1999.
It probably won't come to that, though; Paterson has the stuff to be a useful specialist and should be able to turn it around with a few weeks in Triple-A. This just hasn't been his month.
- pbannard - Apr 24, 2012 at 1:25 AM
This is all about arbitrary cutoffs, of course – if you drop it down to 2 innings pitched instead of 2 2/3, Melancon this season has a higher Batting Average Against (.667, 10 hits in 15 at bats). So I don't know that I'd agree that Paterson's horrible start is really the most horrible of all – after all, at least he was able to get those two extra outs!
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Apr 24, 2012 at 6:49 AM
Baseball is all about the arbitrary stats. We shouldn't rest until we at least find out who had the highest opponents' batting average during day games and who had it pitching indoors.
- jlovenotjlo - Apr 24, 2012 at 4:13 AM
Up until the last paragraph this one is just plain mean.After the last paragraph, its not very nice.
- Old Gator - Apr 24, 2012 at 4:40 AM
Now let's see if Matthew has the necessary mental toughness to give this guy a few good kicks in the ribs while he's down, then splash him with some gasoline and flick his cigar stub at him and finish the job once and for all. It pained me to see Matt wussing out in those last couple of sentences.
- stex52 - Apr 24, 2012 at 8:28 AM
I realize we follow a game of statistics, but these are a little too arbitrary. I expect we will see both Paterson and Melancon again this year. And, just to point out, if this blow-up had occurred after ten decent appearances, it would be viewed as just a mechanics problem for a pitcher and not some sort of statistical Hiroshima. We can get too crazy with the numbers.

Respawn : Opportunists
By TrashMustache 1 Comments
Originally posted on Screened.com though I thought it was just as related to games so I decided to post it here as well.
March 2010. I am assigned a school project and under deadline pressure I manage to write a screenplay (short film) in under two days. Teacher likes it but I back out because I have no idea how to film it, so all though I was ahead of the class I'm back to square one and I just decide to improvise. At the time I was playing grotesque amounts of MW2 Multiplayer, who wasn't right? I barely slept because of it and as the weeks went by I was a wreck and I thought why not make my short film about this? I quickly conjured up a story which would be made up one step at a time. I called up a friend and we started filming which basically means we played MW2.
You wouldn't say but alot of work actually went into the editing with over 70 hours of editing in 90 hours time. It's awesome when 4 dudes just commit to something that starts like a silly project but we were pretty proud of it. At first it was called Killstreak but I thought it was too generic so a friend of mine suggested Respawn and this title actually shaped the meaning of the plot and I snapped, it was perfect. A few weeks later Zampella and West announced Respawn Entertainement and what a weird coinciding coincidence that was.
Not only because of the name, but the meaning of the name for both the film and the company. That made the moment all the more special, though I'd never call the final product special because I'm humble. There are no subtitles and the few bits of dialogue are spoken in Belgian French but the images speak for themselves (or at least that's what I hope).
All you need to know is that one guy is obsessed with MW2 and is great at it, the other is obsessed but sucks and is jealous of the other and this leads to the final event. I'd be interesting in hearing what non french speaking people think of it, I wonder if its watchable as an interpretation piece. Probably not.
Ow, and here's the "poster" LOL.

PEORIA - While it doesn't help much with the bottom line, Peoria Riverfront Museum officials have discovered a successful way to attract a nice crowd on a warm Saturday in September:
Waive the admission.
"It has been a good day already," said Debbie Ritschel, interim CEO for the Downtown museum, as she handed out fliers for a Halloween event in the lobby Saturday morning. "Many people are here for the first time, and it's our job to make it easy for them to decide to come back another day."
The museum opened its doors free of charge Saturday as part of Smithsonian magazine's ninth annual Museum Day Live! Last year's event drew more than 400,000 visitors to museums in all 50 states that chose that day to emulate the policy of the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C., to allow public access to its exhibits at no cost.
The Peoria Riverfront Museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian and is able to display exhibits from the national museum's collections that travel the country.
Late Saturday morning, the museum officially was in bustle mode. By noon, more than 500 people had turned in tickets downloaded from the Smithsonian's website that gained them free entrance to the museum's exhibits, interactive stations and the planetarium. It was a good day in an opening year that has seen projected attendance at about 25 percent below the projected numbers.
"It's a much bigger crowd than a normal Saturday," said Jordan Beakley, a part-time worker who worked the "dino cart" in the lobby, displaying dinosaur models, a sea fern imprint in a rock, and fossilized dinosaur excrement, among other items.
Peoria residents Beth and Albert Havelka, and their 4-year-old daughter, Charley, came to the museum for the first time, attracted by the free admission. They said they'd go again, even if it cost money the next time.
"It's really nice," Beth Havelka said. "I could definitely see coming back. We have family from out of town, and it would be nice to bring them here when they visit."
Alan Almarch of Chillicothe was taking a blow sitting on a bench outside "The Street," an exhibit that features Peoria's history. He came with his wife, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. The visit would have cost $34 on a regular-admission day, including the 15 percent discount to Peoria County residents.
"It's my first time here," he said. "My wife and I like history, and so there's quite a bit to see here. I like it a lot."
Ritschel spent the morning selling the museum to first-time patrons. Her primary emphasis was to encourage return visits and the purchase of memberships.
"With a membership, you visit a few times in the year and then after that, every day's free," she said.

Timney Rifle Trigger Weatherby Vanguard, Howa 1500, Mossberg 1500, S&W 1500 with Safety 1-1/2 to 4 lb Blue
Product #: 552716 Timney #: 611 UPC #: 081950006113
- Information
This trigger is adjustable for pull weight, creep, and backlash. Minor fitting may be required. Instructions included. The safety is a 3 position system, safety with bolt-lock, safety without bolt-lock, and fire. The Howa 1500 action does not take advantage of the safety with bolt-lock position, therefore it is neccessary to remove the bolt-lock tab from the safety (instructions included). The overtravel adjustment screw has been eliminated, therefore the overtravel is not adjustable. If this trigger will not work with a particular style of Howa 1500, Timney will alter the trigger at no charge if the trigger is returned directly to Timney.

RingTV was at the kick-off press conference for the Oct. 12 Tim Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez showdown and the WBO welterweight titleholder, Bradley, spoke with Dominic Verdin about facing the Mexican legend.
Much of the trash talk between Paulie Malignaggi and Adrien Broner has revolved around a girlfriend, once of the former and now of the latter, and it got even trashier when Broner decided to bring her to the press conference in Brooklyn on Thursday.

Many stock pickers are tire kickers. They make judgments about
companies by, among other things, talking to executives,
competitors and customers. By contrast, quants (short for
quantitative analysts) are computer jocks. They try to take the
emotion out of investing by relying on computers to rank stocks for
buying and selling.
One of the best stock-picking quants in the mutual fund world is
John Bogle Jr., who runs Bogle Small Cap Growth (symbol
). The fund tanked during the 2007-09 bear market, losing 66%, but
it has rebounded strongly. Including the first five months of 2013,
it ranked in the top 16% of its category (funds that invest in
small-company "blend" stocks) in four of the past five years.
Bogle's model homes in on U.S. companies that are likely to beat
analysts' earnings estimates. It also contains a value component,
identifying stocks that are cheap relative to others in their
industry on the basis of price-to-sales and price-to-cash-flow
ratios. Bogle buys roughly the top 150 ranked stocks, making sure
to keep his fund's sector weightings closely in line with those of
the Russell 2000 index.
Bogle trims a holding when it reaches 1.5% of the fund's assets.
He'll also sell if his model shows signs that a company is
manipulating its accounting practices to beat earnings estimates.
At last report, top holdings included Multimedia Games, Genworth
Financial and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Comment: So this is what is behind "Aurora" (Score 3, Interesting) 228 228
I just finished reading an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of Robinson's latest novel "Aurora", not yet published, which is about a generation starship sent out to colonize a planet orbiting Tau Ceti. Mild spoiler - the colonists find it's much harder than anyone anticipated. I found it a bit of an odd take given Robinson's Mars trilogy (to be honest, I made it to about a third of the way through Blue Mars and gave up) which seemed far more optimistic. Now I know why. Unfortunately, pessimism doesn't sell as well as optimism, so I don't have great hopes for commercial success of Aurora. Oh, and if you weren't transfixed by Red/Green/Blue Mars, you probably won't care for Aurora either.

Original recipe yields 4 servings

Try a shot of espresso instead of the chocolate. Takes it to a five star.
This was a nice treat. I omitted the chocolate syrup since I didn't have any on hand, which was good since otherwise I think it would have been too much chocolate flavor.
Too chocolaty -- its better if you also put some Bailey's Irish Creme in this drink. And another suggestion would be to use Vanilla Vodka.

I've said this a million times before. I hate cancer.
When Sadie's mom contacted me over 4th of July weekend, she knew something was going terribly wrong with her baby. Out of nowhere, Sadie became ill and disoriented. She was rushed to the vet and given fluids and had some tests done. Turns out she was anemic and would also need to come back for an ultrasound. At that point, her mom was obviously scared of what was to come. We scheduled a session immediately.
Fortunately, Sadie was pretty much back to her normal self when we began shooting. As you'll see, she was smiling (and, wow, does she have a contagious smile!!!) and even doing a little running. I love that she didn't look (or act) ill the entire time. Gosh…she is such a sweet and wonderful girl.
Days after our session, Sadie had her ultrasound appointment. A mass was discovered on her spleen and her parents were now faced with the almost impossible decision of whether or not to put their almost 12-year-old dog through surgery. Before they could make up their minds, nature had it's way with Sadie yet again.
She went into another bad state and was rushed to the emergency vet again. This time, she went into surgery right away to remove her spleen. The mass was removed and the biopsy came back confirming everyone's suspicions – splenic hemangiosarcoma…cancer.
Sadie is now back home recovering from surgery and is doing great! The vet gave her 2-5 months to live but I think her amazing spirit will keep her here much longer.
I can't express how emotional this roller coaster has been for her parents, her fur-sister, Chloe, and even me. I'm so grateful we could make this session happen….it brings tears to my eyes.
And without further ado, this my dear Sadie (on the right) and her sister, Chloe…

ALMOST 1,000 homes in Caerphilly county have been empty for over a year, according to information obtained by Plaid Cymru.
Around 888 of the county's 2,874 vacant homes have been empty for more than 12 months, according to a response to a Freedom of Information request by a Plaid supporter, and 1,436 have been vacant for less than six months.
The remaining 550 have been empty for six to 12 months.The figures cover the position at September 26 last year.
Shadow member for housing Councillor Lyn Ackerman, who represents Newbridge ward, said: "With so many people desperate for an affordable home, it is disappointing so many properties are lying empty.
"Vacant homes can blight communities, attracting vandals and affect neighbours who can see the value of their homes devalue if properties are left empty for a long time. I have particular concerns about the number of homes which have been vacant for more than a year."
Cllr Ackerman said she asked for a report on empty homes and wanted to find out what action was being taken.
According to Shelter, bringing empty homes back to a liveable state costs on average £6,000 to £12,000, said Plaid group leader Cllr Colin Mann.
Promoted stories
He said: "With reasonable investment a lot of properties can be brought back into use. With the support of the Welsh Government, these empty homes figures can be reduced."
The council is now reviewing its housing renewal strategy with the intention of introducing a new one in April.
Plaid claim the council has said this may impact on the availability of certain improvement grants which it offers to owners of empty properties.
These grants are discretionary and are targeted at houses in poor physical condition which have a negative impact on the street. A £15,000 grant is available for homes which have been empty for at least a year.
A spokesperson for Caerphilly Council said: "We are committed to working alongside the owners of empty properties across our county borough, and helping to bring them back into use. While the issue of empty homes is an issue for all local authorities, and the figures for the Caerphilly county borough are comparable to the rest of Wales, We are working actively to reduce the number of empty properties in our county borough and we are currently exceeding our target for this financial year."

Most of those homes are owned by Councils or housing associations
You can ignore the less than 6 months ones they may be being sold or undergoing refurbishment or going through probate in the current market it can easily take up to a year. Some may be empty because the owner is working
I suspect the number of in effect abandoned homes is tiny

Impact of tissue culture banana technology in Kenya: A difference-in-difference estimation approach
Most micro-level studies on the impact of agricultural technologies build on cross-section data, which can lead to unreliable impact estimates. Here, we use panel data covering two time periods to estimate the impact of tissue culture (TC) banana technology in the Kenyan small farm sector. TC banana is an interesting case, because previous impact studies showed mixed results. We combine propensity score matching with a difference-in-difference estimator to control for selection bias and account for temporal impact variability. TC adoption has positive impacts on banana productivity and profits. The technology increases yields by 40-50% and gross margins by around 100%. These large effects represent the impact of TC technology in combination with improved management practices and higher input use, which is recommended. Looking at the isolated TC effect may underestimate impact because of synergistic relationships. The results suggest that extension efforts to deliver the technological package to smallholder farmers should be scaled up.

My fortune cookie told me that I would soon meet a life-long friend. Let's see... I'm an actor by profession. I love to travel, and spent six and a half years living in Moscow, Russia. Though I've been back over a year and a half, I'm still adjusting back to New York and am looking for friends first, then whatever else comes along. I love to cook, more than any of my other hobbies. I love my family and friends. Nothing I wouldn't do for them. I can be shy around new people, but once I open up, people tend to love me, too. Love movies, watch more television than I should, love the theater, music, the outdoors, anything with water. Not a social butterfly, prefer to keep things low-key with my friends. I'm looking for someone who has similar interests, someone who loves to laugh, someone with whom I feel comfortable. And just so we don't get off on the wrong foot, I'm a bottom. I'm just saying.

Why would a married man continue to show mixed signals?
My question is about a married man, I know, that's bad. I'm not asking because "I want him" or "he told me he'd leave his wife" or anything like... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
if you think he might be married STAY AWAY! he probably is.
I agree, stay away. He's probably married and looking for something on the side. They all say that they are not "happily" married...but they will never leave their wife. These guys want their cake and eat it to. You will save yourself a lot of grief by cutting ties with him. Trust me, I know. I'm not proud that I crossed the line with a married man, but I did, and you don't want any part of it. I ended up hurt and looking like a bitch...in reality I was for doing that to another woman.
First thing I said was I don't want anything with him. I'm friends with some people he works with, like his boss who is a 38 year old married man... I'm also friends with his wife. Since I see him multiple times a week, sometimes alone, it would be really nice if I could just have a conversation with him and be his friend... but his behavior is so strange that it makes me uncomfortable. I would like to be able to have a normal conversation. He never talks about his marriage, happy or not.
I think the best thing for you is just to keep it professional - Casanova3
What Guys Said 3
It may be that he really cares for you, that it isn't just a physical attraction. It might be close to impossible for him to keep that inside all of the time... maybe his cycles of hot/cold are him wanting to be close to you, and then trying to pull away because he recognizes that you are not interested in him that way.
Perhaps it is guilt, but I think it is more related to his reacting to what he feels for you, and the recognition that you don't want that.
I think that's probably pretty accurate. He's a kind person, I know that, and I don't think he'd ever want to do something horrible to a woman he was married to. He does seem to pull away to avoid me thinking he's a bad person. I'm still kind to him but I've pulled back a LOT and as a result he has too. I would like to talk to him, but I know that that isn't in my best interest... or his.
I don't think you really have anything to worry about. though the touches to the back are probably benign and harmless he sounds like he's trying to be a good friend but also trying not to give you false impressions. Why don't YOU ASK him if he is married? at least then you will have some parameters to establish the kind of relationship you want with him? Logic rulz hon - Casanova3
I'd think that he is trying to be a friend to me like I am to him, except there's just something that I can't quite put my finger on that makes me uncomfortable. Its different from how things are with other married guys. I think part of it is the mixed signals... how he treats me differently sometimes (better or worse) and it doesn't seem to correlate with moods.... who knows.
I always say " don't follow your head or your heart, follow your gut". Good luck - Casanova
What Girls Said 1
Hi! A lot of time has passed, so I think your problem must be gone by now. Can you tell us what happened? Are you still avoiding him? Is he still giving mixed signals? Is he really married? Do you think he was secretly in love with you? I'm finding myself in a very similar situation. I'm single, and a married co-worker has been giving me mixed signals for the last 10 months. If you want I'll give you the details later.
I haven't talked to him in a few months since I switched to working at a different place, but as it would turn out my gut was right and he did have an interest in me. If you think this person has an interest, he probably does. Best to avoid him though!

Re: I've got a real quandry here; or when guildes begin to disintigrate from within
If you are looking for names of guilds on your server, I'm pretty sure it would be difficult for us to give you any considering that we all probably play on different servers. I'd suggest looking at your servers forums on the WoW website and asking around there to see if anything meets you and your friends criteria.
I think that smaller guilds (40 pre-BC, 25-BC) that are active together in both chit-chat and raiding are the guilds that stay together. Also keeping everyone involved is important, too often big guilds get into 'cliques' of players that eventually splinter from the big guild into their own. It's very hard to prevent, especially if you are as big as some *cough*Goon Squad*cough*. I'd say the new BC of 25 players is much more manageable then even a small guild of 40. It's very possible for someone to have 25 friends or extended friends, but 40 is getting difficult to both manage as a friend and as a guild member.
Unfortunately I'm in a stagnant guild at the moment. I am the highest level @ 66 (and I just started playing late Friday night hehe), but everyone seems more inclined to raid instances for gear that they will probably be replacing in the next couple of levels. Right now I just want to get to 70 and then go back and sit and enjoy raiding at the "Elite" level
. While I know most of the people in the guild, I just don't spend any time with them in-game, which is unfortunate, but few are as hardcore questing as I am.

Gentoo and agp trouble
I have the nvidia graphic driver 1.0-2960
running just fine on my gentoo 2.4.19-r7 system.
I would like to get the Nvidia AGP working since I have an Intel 440LX/EX which tends to crash with the agpgarp driver. (compiled as a module)
Now some interesting facts.
If I use Option "NvAgp" "1"
then agp is listed as disabled in /proc
If I use Option "NvAgp" "3"
then the agpgarp appears in /proc
I can effectively use Option "NvAgp" "1"
in a redhat partition on the same box.
(So it's proably not an irq issue)
My board is a Nvidia Geforce 2 MX400 with 64mb SDRAM.
My PC is a Dell PII 233 with 128 megs of memory.
If you need my config and xfree86 log files I can upload them.
So 2 questions.
a. How do I get the nvidia agp working on my gentoo sytem.
b. what's the performance hit with agp disabled.
Well, I never figured out what was wrong, but when I upgraded to version 3123, it started working.
Problem solved, I guess.
If you've insmod'ed agpgart.o, then NVAGP can't initialize. You'll have to reboot to change AGP drivers.
Glad 1.0-3123 is working for you now...
