On December 13th – 15th, Gloss cosmetics invited nail artists from Iscreamnails (based in Melbourne) to come to their new Parramatta Flagship store and help girls do their nails for free!!!
(I hope you guys went after I tweeted about it ^O^)
The new GLOSS Flagship store – like all the other Gloss stores – is super bling and pink!! You can spot it straight away!! This is their second Parramatta store and is located right beside to Ice & Supre in Parramatta Westfields! Find all their other locations here.
LOL. There is a guy in this photo. That was unintentional.. but there were quite of few of them in the store! :D
The nail artists doing free nail art for the girls. I must say.. they were super quick at it!! Each girl took about 5 minutes each! The design below was done for the girl infront of me.
They even catered for these designs which looked super time consuming! I like the diamond one on the bottom left corner!!! *sings "we're like diamonds in the sky"*
After getting your nails done, you can walk your nails through the manicam!!! This is a new concept Gloss is really excited about!!! It's essentially like a catwalk but for your nails!!!
**Check it out!**
They were also giving out free fairy floss at the front of the store!!! What a way to attract girls. Girls and sweets and beauty!!
The best thing about Gloss is that they always have your big brands of cosmetics – Revlon, BYS, Maybelline, SugarBaby, Chi chi cosmetics, Model Co – just to name a few – for discounted prices!! There are usually quite a few shades of the products too – unlike some discount outlets!!
Unfortunately I couldn't get my nails done that day because I had shellac, but I generally love Gloss!! My closest store is in Hurstville and I quite frequently bump into readers in that store!! (Funnily enough)
Anyhow, hope you guys have been having a good week – it's almost Christmas.. and it's almost 2013!!! I can't believe it!
Here's a quick camwhore shot of me (on a Monday, hence why I had a sad face) to keep you guys updated! I have a few reviews for you guys that I will hopefully be able to post before Christmas.. which I think will be very exciting to read!!!
Happy Holidays!!!

North v South – The Dye Tactical Experience
Wednesday, May 15th, 2013
photo cred: Brad Lo
Epic stories from the epic big-game, North v South UK, as told by the newest member of the Dye Tactical family William "The Prince" Clifford -
"On the weekend of May 4th and 5th, I headed over to DTE Swynnerton Military base to play in the North v South UK Big Game Festival. I have played in scenarios all over the UK, but have never made it to the UK's largest game, I was anxious as what to expect.
Turning up at the event on Saturday afternoon when the event was in full swing was great, I have to say I was really impressed with how it was set up. All the big UK vendors you could think of were there. If you had left anything at home, you could easily pick it up.
I was introduced to all the guys from Nexus and got to meet one of my favorite players of all time: Pete 'Mr U' Utschig of the tactical Ironmen who had flown in from the states to be General for the Southern Army. After setting up my gear we headed down to the chronograph area and introduced a number of players to the features that the DAM had to offer, of which everyone was amazed with.
Later that afternoon we headed out into one of the more popular mini games; 'UK versus the world'. There were easily 400 players out there on the field and running with Tactical Nexus and Mr U was an experience of a lifetime. It was great to be around a group of guys that play together on a regular basis. The communication was really good amongst us all, and we managed to push the opposing team back quickly. After playing this mini game I knew that the Sunday was going to be amazing.
It was an honour to represent DYE at such a huge event. The customer service that they offer is phenomenal; the DYE booth looked great, with all the Tactical gear on display and the techs were helping people set up their equipment until gone 8 o'clock on Saturday evening when all the other vendors had packed away.
The DYECAM really does work well on the field; I've found that it enables you to fit into multiple environments. It's not like some camo that will only work well in specific environments; it fits in as an overall camo so it's effective whatever the terrain. Running with a team of guys, who were all wearing it head to toe, really gave us that extra stealth advantage out there on the field. We not only looked the part, but we also played the part.
The Sunday was great; we managed to successfully take all of our objectives from pushing the North back to securing and holding an objective. It was only due to some unfortunate timing that we were unable to secure the compound for the final mission, as that would have won the event for the South.
Playing with a highly successful tournament team and one of the world's most renowned scenario players, combined with the most effective camo and the deadly DAM's really was an amazing combination. I think my personal highlight of the weekend was bunkering 10+ guys behind a building that we were trying to capture along with Shaun and Neil from London Nexus (one of the players on the receiving end was Greg Hastings), and I was lucky enough to catch it all on my camera!
I had the most fun that I've ever had out there on the paintball field with almost 2000 players attending, I will definitely be attending North versus South next year.
I would just like to thank DYE for giving me the opportunity to represent them and a huge thanks to all the guys at Nexus and Pete for being really welcoming.
If you've enjoyed the video, please feel free to check out my Facebook Page and stay tuned for all my adventures with DYE around the UK this season!"

The kindergarten class of Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Learning Center recently held its annual By the Sea Auction. More than $400 was raised and the class later presented a check to the Sea Turtle Hospital during their field trip to the South Carolina Aquarium. The class is taught by Michelle Page, Lori Baney and Joy Slaughter.

Rumors are fun, no doubt, but that one is just silly. The mouse is different from the phone in one important way: it is already sitting on a flat surface. If we tried to multitouch the back of the iPhone while holding it of course we would all have dropped and broken iPhones! The only use for this I could see is as a snooze for the alarm clock app, but I put my iPhone in a charger facing outward for the night, so I wouldn't even use that feature. Silly.
Do You Want the 4th Gen iPhone Case to be Multitouch like Magic Mouse?
From the now we've heard everything department, an analyst is "predicting" that the 4th generation iPhone's plastic casing will be multitouch enabled, just like Apple's new Magic Mouse.
Not "predicted" of course is how it would work, and how it would filter out things like holding the iPhone for normal use vs. deliberately initiating a multitouch gesture on the back of the case.
Again, with Apple anything is possible, but is this desirable? Can you see Apple doing it?
The Palm Pre and Pixi have a multitouch area below the screen to enable consistent gestures for "back" and to bring up the app launcher. Is that preferable?

Do You Want the 4th Gen iPhone Case to be Multitouch like Magic Mouse?
Oh yeah, but a swipe area beneath the screen dedicated to a "back" feature would be cool, I think.
yeah, rumor indeed... think about what this is proposing... and then think about why it's idiotic. what do most people have on their iPhones??? ... CASES, and in some cases, no pun intended, very complex cases that would completely nullify this feature... i would eat my own shoe if Apple let this go through to production, it just doesn't make any sense at all.
I'm with stem22. It seems cool, but I don't know a single person that has an iPhone and doesn't have some sort of protective case on it. I'm sure there are loads of people without cases, but I'm sure there are way more with cases. This is almost as like the screen that is resistant to finger prints, but most of us put protectors on that aren't. So that feature is kinda useless as well.
Ya, dropped phone would be the result. I have an otterbox case, I love my otterbox case. I honestly have rarely ever held an iPhone without a case. I find it to thin and easy to slip from my hand. Having a touch back would be a big waste.
On the 4th gen I want an otterbox again. It's like the darth vader of cases. (if you have ever put one on a phone it's much like the helmet on darth......) ok I have returned from geek land:)
Ya, this rumour is bogus.
This could be useful, if implemented similar to how the palm pre allows gesture uses just under it's LCD screen.
pointless much?
It won't happen.
Multiple touh case means you can't put a case on it and of you didn't have a case a d dropped/damaged the body slightly, it would affect the multiple touch performance.
Not to mention the magic mouse is an awful piece of garbage. Why want out iPhones to work like that.
Maybe we could have multitouch and swipe on our screens that allow us to do things like scroll and move between pictures????? Um....o wait.... Sorry that is already an iPhone feature that I can use while my phone is in it's otterbox. It seems like we sometimes take for granted the things the iPhone already does while wondering what the next gen will do
Yeah, unless apple decided to coat the iphone in some sort of awesome anti-scratch coating, you pretty much have to get a case. It's hard to scratch the glass. Impossibly easy to scratch the back.
I really doubt that apple will go this route. I also hope that they don't, I have the magic mouse and I have to say that I really do not like it. I got it when it first came out and have tried to fall in love with it, but as of yet it is the only apple product that I have that I really do not like.
I want the app launcher or back button or both.
I love my magic mouse, I tell everyone with a mac to get one
Jozsoo: clearly you missed the point of the article.
Anyways, I don't understand all the people who worry so much about scratches on the back that they use a case, only to never look at the pristine condition of the back case...?
Personally I use only a screen protector on the front, and never even looked at cases. And neither have any of my friends that have iPhones. And there's quite a few.
Alex, I worry about it alot. I suppose I'm OC that way. My brother isn't. Perhaps that's why I have a lot of cases lying around the house! Or maybe I just like buying them in different colors.
Now, if only they'll come in this purple (http://blingmyiphone.com/alldesign381950011B001CTIQEA_SOLID-LIGHT-PURPLE-SNAP-ON-COVER-HARD-CASE-PROTECTOR-for-APPLE-IPHONE-3G-Beyond-Cell-Packaging.html)
I'm sick of the plastic casing. I was really excited when the rumors of a matte back surfaced for the 3GS. I hope the 4th generation goes to a matte casing. Plastic feels too cheap and slippery.
If the phone was more durable then it might be a good thing. People use a case on the iPhone in case they drop it. So I don't think it would be a good thing if it was on the back. Now if they could put it on the front of the phone, that would be cool. I would like to see it on the iPhone though. I think it would be a good thing.
A Korean news article is reporting "the coming 4G iPhones will be equipped with organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens on surface and live video chat functionalities, while removable battery is highly likely."http://www.diverse-group.com/page1/blog.html
Even if this were realistic, why would anyone want their phone preoccupied as a mouse? So, every time you'd want to use your iPhone, you'd have to keep switching back and forth between a real mouse and the phone?
I liken this idea to using the iPhone as a vehicle-mounted GPS — a hassle.
Off topic. Cases only do so much. Most scratch your phone anyways. Not much protection in case of drops niether I have seen phones with cases droped and their screens break anyways.
Btw I can see swiping movements like the MacBook and magic mouse coming to iPhone 4g. But on the glass side only not the back.
I actually think this is a GOOD idea from a design perspective. Think about it... where is your index finger of the hand holding the phone? Yes! It's on the back!! This makes one handed navigation related operations simpler and less carpal-tunnel inducing since you don't have to contort your hand around for thumb swipes. You'd still want to type using the front but if you're just scrolling and swiping screens I think it might be an interesting concept.
I saw an interview with Sanjay Jha from Motorola recently. He was talking about new Android handsets coming with some touch capabilities coming to the back of future devices. He didn't say anything about multi-touch of course, but thought it would be interesting if implemented properly. If anybody could it'd be Apple
I would like to see no physical buttons. But touch sensitive buttons for power/home/vol +/- ; and for ring/vibrate... Samsung has accomplished this on their LCD televisions, why now a physical buttonless iPhone?
I agree with Squanks, this opens up a lot of possibilities especially for Gaming.
In fact, gaming is about the only area where your fingers are in the way trying to use touch controls on the screen, which might benefit by moving to the back.
If they could be software enabled/disabled so that they could be turned on for gaming and turned off for normal phone operations it would be great.
Amazing, discovered your webpage on digg.Happy I finally tried it out. Unsure if its my Chrome browser,but sometimes when I visit your site, the fonts are really small? Anyway, love your webpage and will be back.Bye
Touch below the screen would be nice for forward, back, and SCROLL TO BOTTOM!!!!
This will be the future iPhone v4 : http://www.maccro.net/2010013160/liphone-v4-ressemblera-probablement-a-c...

iMore for iOS 7 app coming soon!
Yes, we're working very, very hard on an updated iMore app for iOS 7. There's been a ton of work involved, redoing a lot of stuff to make it as iOS 7 cool as we know all of you - and all of us - want it to be. Trying to balance getting it done quickly with getting all the features we want into it is proving tricky, and we'll absolutely always revert to doing less, better, than doing more, faster. We have a very aggressive roadmap, and a ton of things we want to bring you in the iMore app, both now for iOS 7, and going forward. We really, truly want to make it the best app on your phone, and we won't stop until we get there.
Now, I don't want to tease a timeline yet, because there are way too many objects in motion to do that yet, but the redesign will be soon, more will follow, and hopefully you'll love it as much as we do.
Meanwhile, check out the photo up top, it shows the current working version, and let the team know what you think!

Some hopefully constructive feedback:-
The overall feel of the current app is excellent.
I am using iOS 7 on an iPhone 5 and since upgrading to iOS 7 saving to Pocket is broken.
The comments have always been difficult to follow (ie pre iOS 7 as well) with the list being jumbled (or at least that's how it appears to me!).
The example you gave of looking at the 'photo above' highlights another issue in that unlike many other apps there is no way of selecting the photo to enlarge it for a better view.
Overall really like the app, just the above issues sometimes make me use other sites as I'm wanting a quick news fix and can't justify my time overcoming these issues, which is a shame because your articles are very well written.
Thanks for all your good work.

Screenshot alone, it looks great. I can't tell you how excited I am about it.

That's looking sharp! I can't wait to see what you guys put out.
Looks like a good update!
Things I would like to see:
iPad app!!
Offline mode
Faster load for slower connections
Allow more articles to be accessed ( previous day articles are not visible which I don't like)
Landscape orientation refresh in current version is not possible. I need to turn to portrait mode in order to refresh.
Open in safari option
Option to upload photos from app for photo contests.

The complexity of transnational business and the growing significance of international organizations underscore the need for lawyers to be well versed in international and comparative law.

"Willamette's Certificate Program in International and Comparative Law provides graduates with the edge needed for their first law job and beyond."
Professor David S. Clark
Director of the Certificate Program in International and Comparative Law
"As a student of comparative and international law, I understood how the laws of different nations diverge and intersect. Having gone through the certificate program, I can now analyze how and why this happens. My skills in international law give me a unique opportunity to specialize in something so broad that it affects the majority of the world's population. With this certificate, I feel confident to practice law anywhere."

We have over 800 tape recordings that show how Planned Parenthood and NAF abortion workers secure
business from victims of statutory rape by undermining parental authority, encouraging children to
lie and promising minors that their employees will ignore mandatory reporting laws. Hundreds of
Planned Parenthood clinic and National Abortion Federation clinic employees have been caught on
tape expressing their willingness to conceal the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl by a
22-year-old man. Even though many of these Planned Parenthood and NAF employees openly acknowledged
that statutory rape is a crime and that they are required by law to report it, they made it clear
that they do not abide by the law.

Nothing angers a weight loss surgery patient more than hearing someone say that weight loss surgery is the easy way out. There is nothing easy about it. Consider the following:
We have to remember there are many environmental, societal, hormonal, physiological and genetic factors that come together to impact our weight. We as a society cannot be so naïve as to think behavior change alone will be a successful treatment. We have to be ready, willing and able to educate the pessimists regarding obesity prevention and treatment. We have to be willing to stand-up for ourselves and others. We have to be willing to educate those who think any treatment for obesity, including surgery, is an easy way out. After being a "fat" kid, teen and adult, my physician and I determined that bariatric surgery was the best course of treatment for me.

Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne to Host "Peace & Social Justice Showcase," part of Syracuse Film Festival The Syracuse Film Festival presents the Peace & Social Justice Showcase, taking place in the W. Carroll Coyne Center for the Performing Arts at Le Moyne College on Sunday, Oct. 6 from noon to 3 p.m. Sponsored by Le Moyne College and Justin Nappi and Treehouse Pictures/World Harmony Pictures; tickets are $10, students are free. The lineup for the showcase is: SCREENING OF ASAD (18 min). Nominated for an Academy Award; winner of the award for Best Short Narrative at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. Director Bryan Buckley will be on hand for a Q and A after the screening of the film. Following is a brief synopsis of the movie: Set in a war torn fishing village in Somalia, an all Somali, refugee cast brings to life this coming of age fable of a Somali boy who is faced with falling into the pirate life, or rising above to choose the path of an honest fishing man. WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW TRILOGY: THE FILMS OF GEORGE GITTOES Australian artist/filmmaker George Gittoes will be honored with the Bassel Shehade Award for Social Justice sponsored by Laila and Edward Audi in memory of Bassel Shehade. Bassel was a Syracuse University graduate film student from Syria, killed in Syria while documenting and teaching civilian videographers to record the events occurring in their country for the world to see. Gittoes' received the Member of the Order of Australia (1997) "for service to art and international relations as an artist and photographer portraying the effects on the environment of war, international disasters and heavy industry". He was also awarded the Centenary Medal (2001) "for service as an internationally renowned artist". He was given an honorary Doctorate in Letters by the University of New South Wales in 2009. George Gittoes has worked in Pakistan and Afghanistan for almost 20 years, initially, on a project called MINEFIELDS which documented the stories of landmine victims with drawings, paintings and photographs. These works were shown around the world, including at the UN in Geneva, to raise awareness of these inhuman devices that go on killing innocents long after the conflict has ended. Post 9/11 his friends in both countries pleaded with him to return and try to make films which showed that not all Pakistani's or Afghans are terrorists and many are fighting for freedom of expression against the deadly opposition of both the Taliban and Al Queda . George responded to these calls for help and has spent much of the last 10 years working with his creative friends in the face of death threats and physical attacks. He has now helped to produce 11 feature length Pashto Language dramas, funded and built a centre for the arts in Jalalabad called the Yellow House and is in the process of completing three feature documentaries collectively titled What the World Needs Now Trilogy. The first film was Miscreants of Taliwood which has been shown at IDFA (Amsterdam), Telluride and won the Traverse City Festival Prize in Michigan, the second film Love City Jalalabad is at a fine cut stage and close to completion and the third film Snow Monkey is currently in pre-production, ready for shooting to start in December 2013. George will be presenting large segments from both Miscreants of Taliwood and Love City Jalalabad and sharing his concept for Snow Monkey. This Presentation of the What the World Needs Now Trilogy will be a world first in Syracuse and a rare opportunity to participate with a cutting edge filmmaker at a mid production phase of a visionary project. One of the primary aims of the Syracuse International Film Festival is to involve audiences in the art and craft of filmmaking before it is finished, polished and delivered to the market. Each year we present several films in stages where audience feedback can be of great help to the filmmaker. The Peace and Justice Showcase is part of the Syracuse Film Festival, which takes place at venues around Syracuse from Oct. 2 to 6; learn more about the festival here.posted on: 9/27/2013

Patients have something to brighten their outlook these days when visiting
On the hospital's second-floor landing near the elevators hangs 328 original pieces of artwork created by children from 14 different
Every piece of artwork is each child's individual visual interpretation of listening to French composer Camille Saint-Saens's "Circus of the Animals."
The venture is part of Rosemary Beach Foundation's "Music in Pictures" in conjunction with Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast's Arts in Medicine program.
This is the second year for RBF's Music in Pictures, which began in 2012.
The musical adventure produced visual interpretations of "The Royal March of the Lion," "The Aviary," "The Aquarium," "The Kangaroo," "The Elephant," and "The Swan."
Students turned in their work Jan. 9. The pieces were judged by a panel comprised of artists and musician and special awards were dispensed in age-group categories for gold and silver during an awards ceremony at Rosemary Beach.
A panel of judges selected 12 grand-prize winners based upon the interpretation of the music.
"It was wonderful," said art teacher Constance Rogers of
And even though all listened to the same music, most interpreted what they heard differently. Several focused on the beautiful and graceful swans in the music, and several felt moved by the mighty lion or triumphant elephant. But whichever piece was drawn, all compel passersby to stop and admire the renditions put down on paper by the students.
As a result of the project, RBF donated $7,000 to the schools that participated. These included Compass Rose Academy, Emerald Coast Middle School, Freeport Elementary, Freeport Middle School, Maude Saunders Elementary School, Mossy Head School, Ohana Institute,
This year, the exhibit is taking a small tour, spending March at businesses in Rosemary Beach and hanging in Wells Fargo bank branches. It will grace the halls of

Sprint location glitch leads owners of stolen phones to the home of unknowing Las Vegas man
Services such as Find my iPhone are great as long as they work the way they're supposed to. Wayne Dobson, a 59 year old Las Vegas resident, has learned the hard way what happens when cell phone tracking programs malfunction. Owners of lost cell phones keep showing up at his door demanding their phones back. The only problem is, he doesn't have them. The problem seems to be isolated to Sprint cell phone users and due to a glitch that shows owners of lost devices that they are located near Dobson's home. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal:
Dobson was told that cellphone GPS systems don't provide exact locations - they give a general location of where to start your search. And for some reason his house is that location for his area.
Dobson's issues began way back in 2011 when the owner of a lost Sprint cell phone knocked on his door around midnight demanding his lost phone back. It turns out, the tracking software had led the disgruntled owner right to Dobson's front door. This man is one of many since that have shown up at Dobson's home demanding he return stolen cell phones he doesn't have possession of.
Unfortunately, the glitch hasn't just been limited to cell phone tracking programs but has also led police to his door on domestic violence calls that were placed from Sprint cell phones. It appears the issue has to do with a glitch in the GPS data that is sent from the carrier to the tracking software or police departments.
As of now, Dobson still has no clear answers from Sprint or any other company that may be able to help him. They agree it's an odd issue but still aren't sure exactly how to fix it.
A spokesperson from Sprint said they're looking into the problem but until it is solved, Dobson has been forced to put up signage outside his home stating that he doesn't have your cell phone and to call the police.

Sprint location glitch leads owners of stolen phones to the home of unknowing Las Vegas man
Lol that poor man!
Totally agree
This fills in some blanks for me. I live in Las Vegas and ever since I updated to iOS 6 my weather app and different apps that use my location usually have my location wrong. Sometimes it says I'm in Cali or other areas of NV. I thought it was because of the update but maybe it was Sprint all along. I'm waiting to see what Tmobile has in a few months for Apple products and may switch. Sprints service upgrade has been in slow motion and their unlimited data is useless as it operates at dial up speeds.
Actually in your case it may or may not be sprint. As soon as I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad 3 and my newer iPod Touch 5, quite often neither device can find my location. So, for example, when I try to find an address in Apple maps which might be only a few kilometers from me, my map system will tell me it's a 5000 mile trip. Plus when I try to ask Siri what movies are playing near by, it'll say "I'm sorry but I don't know where you are". It's intermittent, but annoying. And I don't have an iPhone, and I'm in Canada. So for me it's not a mobile carrier issue.
My god. Can you imagine how many times this poor guy has nearly gotten his a$$ kicked because all these people who've seen some stupid Youtube video about a guy chasing down the guy who stole their phone, and so they think they can do it too, and they show up on the offensive, claiming he stole their phone, and that they aren't leaving until they get it back? This is flat out dangerous! Totally agree. Sue the crap out of them, so you can have Sprint pay off your house, and then move (plus extra for your troubles).

Kit looks like a well made USA kit for a good price. Any reveiws on this company?
1911A1 .45 Pistol Parts : AK Parts kits, Superb Products
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
good question.
i am tempted myself even though i doubt they are USA made. they look an awful lot like the ones SARCO sells and they are PI.
don't matter all that much where they came from.
what does matter is that there 'good" ones with out some horrible flaw that is going to send shrapnel to your face!
it might be worth a shot. they got one review where some guy put one on a essex frame. that don't carry much weight with me either.
somebody should try one so we all know--
on their ar stuff some love them and some hate them.
i generally avoid anything AR-15 related to this company in any of its various names. i have seen a couple of very off spec uppers that came from them. i figure not all their stuff could be that far off and they still be in the biz. i just don't like going to the races with something that can blow up in my face if it ain't correctly made.
these 1911 parts could be OK. if there like everything "hesse" some of them are probably good, some are probably workable and some are --well you get the idea.
others have bought AK and other rifle stuff from them and so far everyone seems happy enough so maybe these 1911 parts will be like their AK stuff--
I haven't, but there are a lot of reviews in this and other forums. Almost all them said that their AR parts kits were junk and their customer service was pretty bad. They charge a flat $30 per kit shipping, which sounds kind of steep, and they do a horrible job with their packaging. I ordered a Yugo Krink kit from them and they just threw it all in the box, no protection for the wood handguards or between the other parts.
I haven't, but the reviews I've read say there good quality. With maybe some exception to the fitting of the small parts, which maybe made oversea's, I know the uppers are made to spec's.
well if blowing up is in spec they got it in spec all righty.
their motto could be "we blow more AR shit than any other in spec assembler!"
now i know that they have sold hundreds & possibly thousands of assembled uppers and they ain't ALL K-boomed.
but when a kid calls on the cell and asks what kind of hammer he needs to get one in or out of battery that is a bad mark in my little-black book--
some of these are getting good parts and others get some bad parts and some get terrible parts the odds of getting the 'terrible" shit are pretty low like 1-1000 maybe.
it is like selling cars where one of every so many has the brakes fail @ 85mph but hey the odds are only 1-1000!
now if a salesman told you sure save $50! but this car should be recalled --but hey $50 is $50! LOL!
i won't even test fire one less it is on a mechanical bench and i was standing some distance away, from what i have seen lately--but that is just me.
Blackthorne....That's all I need to say.
back to the 1911 slide @ $99 is very tempting cause a name brand slide is like x3 the price in stainless.
could be worth the risk if one takes his time and knows what to look for--
just my $.02
I have one assembled AR carbine of theirs.Been fine.Parts not all mil-spec but still shoots with the 1200 buck guns.
Hi Gunco,
I have done business with them numerous times. For the most part, the stuff they sell is exactly as advertised. A word to the wise, and I am skipping a bit here knowing who I am addressing:
When you get your stuff from them, INSPECT IT! If it does not look right, get it replaced immediately!!!
I have had THREE issues with them:
1. (The most serious). A Heavy Barrel AR-15 Carbine kit had a slightly egged out chamber that was just barely in spec headspace wise. Did not return it, and the barrel ended up having to be replaced within about 2000 rounds. This was my fault, and I should know better. The unfortunate result is that my buddy (JRS on this board) ended up having to spend another $200 on the repair, and god only knows how many hours checking and rechecking his work on the re-loading bench... I will make it right with him someday.
2. A slightly out of spec trigger. Again, I should have flagged it and returned it.
3. A bad Heavy Barrel Varmint kit that was missing the alignment pin in the barrel....That one I caught and returned. No issues, no questions asked. It was "Please fill out this form on the web site"....8 days later, a brand new upper, with bolt, charging handle, and carrier. I dusted the ones that I returned with a phosphor powder that does not come off without extreme effort. The replacement had no traces at all of that powder...
I have ordered a lot of stuff from them. I know who they are, and I know the history, and I get all of that. My experience with them is that they are not quite as good as DSA or Del-Ton. But they are a whole lot better than Model 1....
I can not fault their products, and I can not fault their customer service. Neither are tip-top stellar. But, I will continue to do business with them.
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower

Daily Tip: How to kill background apps in iOS 5
iPhone or iPad feeling kind of sluggish or an app freezing up on you and wondering how to manually force-quit multitasking apps to free up memory? iOS 5 does a great job automatically pausing or killing background tasks, but once and a while a big game, rogue process, or similar situation can drain resources or tie up memory. Luckily, iOS 5 makes it easy to quit these apps any time you like.
- Double click the Home button to bring up the multitasking Fast App Switcher.
- Touch-and-hold an app to put it into 'jiggly mode'.
- Tap the red minus-sign icon that appears at the top left corner of the app.
- Watch the app close and disappear from the Fast App Switcher.
- Hit the Home button again to exit jiggly mode.
- Hit the Home button one more time to return to your Home Screen.
That's it! Next time you notice you're iPhone or iPad is acting strangely or running slower than normal, just close a few of the apps you have running in the background. Problem solved!

Daily Tip: How to kill background apps in iOS 5
Here you go! https://twitter.com/#!/andrewwray/status/146710269987532800/photo/1
Also, feel free to follow me ;)
I'm assuming SB settings is a special app?
SbSettings is a jailbreak modification/app available in Cydia.
I can get into the fast app switcher but when I press-and-hold the home button again I get the voice command. Not the ability to stop apps.
got it,,,thanks
I think you should add that not all the app who are in this menu are running in background ! People would get confused, the iPhone manage my itself the amount of app running in background for the other app it's just a "shortcut"
You're right, this is incorrect. AND removing an app from the multitasking bar DOES NOT "kill" it, it simply removes it from the bar. If the app is going to run in the background it's going to run in the background until iOS garbage collects it, makes room for something else, or you restart your iPad.
This article is incredibly misleading and bordering fully incorrect.
It may be wrong but it does work. Yes, the iOS is supposed to close the apps automatically when some RAM is needed, so you shouldn't have to worry about closing the apps by yourself; but this function doesn't work all the time, and we find ourselves with apps bugging. So what should we do? Closing the apps manually is the simplest solution.
Thx for that fantastic tip about skipping steps 5 & 6. I had no idea about that! My often used Home button thanks you! :)
Hey thanks for the tip! :)
There should be a way to turn off multitasking. I dont need it
This is unnecessary. iOS keeps your recently used apps in memory so that when you switch back to them, they'll be where you left them. However, if the current app needs more memory, the system automatically removes older apps to free up their RAM (even if they are still displayed in the multitasking tray).
You may find the iPhone has often used the majority of its memory — and that's a good thing because those apps can launch faster. If the phone needs memory, it will kill off your least recently used apps automatically. There's really no need for you to do it (unless you're trying to kill your Skype connection, or GPS, etc).
Unused memory is wasted memory.
"You may find the iPhone has often used the majority of its memory — and that's a good thing"
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha .....oh man, CAN'T. STOP. LAUGHING.
My phone runs on something called "battery" FYI
You could also use multitouch to close multiple apps at once http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/01/tip-you-can-close-multiple-apps-at-on...
No accses to the iTunes app store? iPhone is close to useless then. I have used mine on AT&T and Tmobile EDGE here and while it is acceptable, remember this is Apple and they want an optimal user experience (hence the hotspot deal).Unlocked iPhone 3GS on amazon? Probably not true factory unlocked. They are likely jailbroken and unlocked using the iPad baseband. This means gps doesn't work properly.
I agree with the comments that say that this tip shouldn't be the fix for the problem, and in fact it's not my case. I cannot use Dictation on Twitter even if I "kill" all apps or even restard the iPhone. It works with other apps though.
In my case the Dic button is not greyed out. Only, when I press it, I get a double beep and no dictation.

Beard: Nick Cardy's work was 'fresh and hip'Written by Jim Beard | | email@example.com
In comic book circles, the label "innovator" has been slapped on a multitude of creators, but perhaps it's most apt when applied to Nick Cardy, who died Nov. 3. Having worked his way up through the industry from his first gigs in the 1940s, Cardy found a true creative home at DC Comics in the 1950s and '60s, and began to break many of the rules of comic book art. By the beginning of the 1970s, he was being praised for not only his lush, multitoned interiors, but also for comic book covers that not only redefined the borders of the art, but made a generation of fans sit up and take notice.
"I first became aware of Nick Cardy's work as a teenager working in my very first comic book shop when I stumbled upon a handful of Teen Titans issues he illustrated from the late '60s," said Monarch Cards & Comics' Ed Katschke. "I was never much of a DC Comics fan at that age, but I was instantly taken in by his cover artistry. So much of DC's art output during the '60s didn't appeal to me at all at that age, but Cardy's work, even 20 years out, looked fresh and hip and cool. While veteran DC artists like Curt Swan or Kurt Schaffenberger were rather stodgy and unexciting, Nick Cardy's figures were dynamic and sexy, the action sequences fun and full of the excitement lacking in much of his peers' work. Cardy did a lot to bring the sensibilities of the swingin' sixties to comic book art that many other veteran artists of the period were never quite able to duplicate."
If male baby boomer comic fans were polled about their first comic book character crush, Nick Cardy's Wonder Girl would surely top the list. On the cover of 1969's Teen Titans No. 23, the young heroine smashes through a portrait of herself to show off her new look — and to capture the hearts of fanboys everywhere. Cardy had previously illustrated many a female character, but in Wonder Girl his powers of drawing strength and sex appeal coalesced in equal quantity.
Today, the cover is frequently ranked among those with the most impact in comic book history.

Answer to the OP > No,
My belief is even if MMO's were to die, it would not fill the void that most people are looking to fill with something like the old MMO's (UO, EQ, SWG, Vanilla WOW).
In fact, UO is still running, how come the masses aren't playing it? Their lies the answer, Nobody wants to GO BACK!
What needs to happen is MORE crappy MMO's need to come out, to the point were people become indifferent (not bored or pissed or angry, but truly indifferent) about the MMO scene all together and then and only then will we see the true "next gen" MMO's.
Just like downloading music use to be, a small group of people with computers started sharing music, more people got into it, then even more, then Napster came, the masses started downloading and then laws started coming out and we went through the period were everyone was trying to find an alternative to Napster, all these pear to pear came out and then.... itunes came.
We are now in the period were everyone is trying to find an alternative.
itunes is what we need for MMO's. We need something new, something revolutionary and not something old and rehashed that everyone has fond memories of but is not willing to go back to or stick with.
I have a strong belief that the "next gen" MMO's are not here yet, they are coming. I have faith!!!

Did you even really play EQ? Seriously...because EQ was 1000X harder than modern MMO's because mobs chased you forever (Or at least until the zone if you made it). You pulled too many, you die. Paying attention to mob aggro ranges, pathign patterns, and mob densities in a given area were crucial. Must of not hated it that much to play it for a year.
The only fairly modern MMORPG to date that gives any challenge or fun is Vanguard:SoH. Although buggy still and laggy...STILL by far trumphs games like SWTOR, Rift, and yes, even your precious WoW as far as gameplay. Even the graphics are nice. Of course this is my opionion, as I am sure you will disagree...which is yours.
Today's MMO's you can pull a whole camp in many cases and live with little damage. Aggro ranges are much shorter too in a lot of cases.
BTW..Torchlight is not an MMORPG, neither is Diablo 3, so uncomparable. Only things comparable in your whole post is that for one, you like instant gratification, and two all those games you mention either intentionally play as console games, or were made to mimic them but with an MMORPG title strapped on them.
I don't look at it with rose-tinted glasses, as so many turn to as your rebuttal when they can't come up with good reasons. I tried going back to EQ...but it is just so outdated now I can't do it. But the community there is still outstanding.
But I couldn't stay not because it is a bad game. I mean, if it were so horrible, why is it STILL up and running AND putting out expansions after 14 years!?! Explain that one to me. So many have no real clue what seperated the MMORPG genre from the console genre and WHY they were different. Now everyone just wants to make them console heavy for their own selfish conveinience despite there being games that cater to their style of gameplay everywhere already.

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising?
Out of all the TV shows I've watched over the years, a few have been great, some ok and the vast majority junk.
Out of all the movies I've seen, a few are great, some ok and the vast majority junk.
Out of all the music I've heard, a small percentage is great, some ok and the vast majority junk.
Out of all the mmo's I've played, a few have been great, some ok and the vast majority junk.
To me, saying that mmo's need to die is like wishing they'd stop making bad tv shows, movies and music.
I fit this whole issue into my 10% theory. Only 10% of anything is worth your time, the rest of it is junk. And the reason we can't stop it? My 10% doesn't necessarily overlap with anyone elses, and very few would exactly overlap me. So to someone, somewhere out there, what I call junk is in someone elses 10% 'great'.
Can we ban together and try an organized and collective effort at improving mmo's? Nope. Because thankfully, we all have our own opinions.

I regret spending a year on EQ wasting most of my time camping, or staring at a spellbook. Now it is true that there was few alternative at the time, and that is why EQ got away with it.
D3 is the same. You overpull, you die in inferno. Heck, D3 has a hard core PD mode. EQ does not even have that. And in D3, i got to kill lots of stuff. In EQ, i got to waste lots of time waiting and doing nothing.
Doing nothing is not fun.

So you think better game play is standing around town using the LFG tool to find groups to level over going out into the world finding a group and hunting mobs? So a lobby game style game is a better MMO then using the world to level?
Camping required a lot of thinking, finding the right place, keeping up with the spawns, not pulling to many, aggro management. All played a huge factor in a good group, bad group or average group.
WOW was simply, follow the waypoints on the map and you cannot fail, if you do, hurry back, nothing lost for dying. Dungeons in WOW have to have "Hard Modes" to keep people running them or they would be too easy. EQ1 had no need for that as dungeons were hard to begin with and only got easy once you learned them. Crazy concept.
So its clear you are a game that wants instant gradification, no work, just reward. You want to be using "Epic" loot but do not want to put forth the effort that should be required to EARN them. WOW just handed them out for being there, EQ made you EARN them.
Much like today in kids sports, everyone gets a trophy for playing today, how wrong and stupid, it does not teach kids anything. Back in my day (Only 30 years old), yu got a trophy for winning and if you lost, you got to watch the other team with the trophy and you used that to work harder for next time, to train harder, to work harder and win next time.
I want to EARN my rewards, not just get them for showing up. EQ1 had the best quests ever. EPIC weapon quest where the best thing in MMOs and they are long gone because of people like you crying about how much effort they required. That was the point, they were EPIC (Rare) items.
EQ1, you replaced weapons and armor every few months if you were lucky, you got attached to Armor and weapons, each had a fun story of how you got it. In games like WOW, gear means nothing, no storys behind them, they are replaced as fast as you get them.
You people have enough of your instant gradificationg games, why can't those that want to use their brain and EARN their rewards have a game? Why do you feel that your way is the only way? Are you threated by players that want to EARN their own way and not get every handed to them on a silver platter?

I don't consider that time wasted. You explore, craft...I don't consider that time wasted if your into it. I never ran out of things to do in my time online in EQ...right up until I finally called it quits...mainly because I entered the military. I just don't see where is time wasted unless you allow it with your own in-game actions?

D3 is not even comparable to EQ1, not even the same genre but hey keep missing the point and using pointless examples.
D3 is not even as good as D2. Anyone that spend time playing D2 will agree with me. D3 is a garbage game and they keep making it easier and easier in every patch because people like you cry about how hard inferno and hell modes were.
Why did you waste time do nothing in EQ? When I wanted to go kill something I did, when I wanted to craft I did. No different then any game in that reguard.
D3 is an action game, EQ1 is an MMORPG. Way different type of games. D3 is worst then D2. compare apples to apples. Torchlight is way better then D3.
Harder does equal more fun. Harder means more effort required to Win and is more fun when you do win. Winning without trying is no fun. Winning every time is not fun. Failure makes winning better and always has.

I played UO from release and my sub it still active to this day, fifteen years later. I play occasionally when the nostaligia bug hits me. However, I'm not going to hype older games because of some dissatisfaction with modern MMOs. You didn't need to use your brain to play games like UO and EQ. Not in their current state and certainly not back then. Unless you consider the act of plopping your ass into a chair for the majority of your life just to mash the same keystrokes over and over as using your brain. It dosn't matter if its 1-2-3 or "I wish to lock this down", it's still repetitive, mindless drivel.
I've noticed a trend in people on these forums to equate 'hard' with 'time-consuming'. UO/EQ were not hard. They did however, suck your life away.
No thank you, never again.

And so what they are easier than EQ and DAoC which make the games too difficult? The right difficulty is fun. Too difficult (or too time consuming) is not. Too easy is not.
In fact, best system is D3 1.05 with difficulty levels you can tune. Having a raid that only 0.01% of the player can do is just waste of resources.

Wow. When I read it, it was a pretty mind blowing, and courageous, question; Do MMORPGs need to die. Jinkies.
I didn't really appreciate to whole "Oh let true fans be left and they get good games" yabbyabba. I assume you, as anyone, have a dislike for people on MMORPGs who have extremely poor attitudes and so forth. No surprise, we've all seen it. Zergs, yawn.
It would be pretty impressive to see it die, in the way that seeing a massive building getting demolished. Whether that's good or bad for the genre itself is very much open to interpretation, I figure.
MMORPG phoenix... The idea is very nifty.

You missed the part where I said there's no reason that there can't be room for all of us, AND the part where I suggested to the OP that he start a kickstartr campaign to fund the kind of game he's looking for.
My kinship is full of over-30's (age, not levels). Some find time to do proper Raids, and enjoy the hell out of them. Others fellow with kin members who understand that home/family has to come first even if it means the fellowship has to take a break from time to time. Still others mostly solo, and lend a hand when needed. We ALL enjoy the hell out of the community we've formed. We've adapted as our game of choice has changed, and yes, 5 years later we're still playing. I just wonder why the OP doesn't understand that a for-profit company would not want to alienate the majority of its paying subscribers just because a small group of players miss the "good old days".

Elkin High School students Shannon Tweddell and Daniel Heiner are being honored as the Family and Consumer Sciences outstanding students.
Heiner's father has a culinary arts degree, and Daniel has been cooking since he was six or seven, said Barbara Long, CTE Director for Elkin City Schools.
"He excelled in the CTE Advanced Studies course, and is working on completing his first cookbook containing original recipes," said Long.
In addition, he has worked in the food industry, and is always willing to help when the food classes prepare and serve luncheons and dinners, she said.
He hopes to one day open his own restaurant. His courses in Small Business/Entrepreneurship and Business Law, as well as the foods classes, should give him an idea of what to expect, Long said.
Tweddellhas only been in Elkin for two years, but in that time she has already completed all of the foods-related courses and has grown tremendously in the program, Long said. "She is working at a local bakery - Confections by Claire - and thinks it's 'pretty cool'," said Long.
Shannon wants to attend Wilkes Community College to continue her education with a focus in baking and pastry. Shannon says her grandmother was her inspiration, and that she loves cooking.

AR15/M16 Rifle Parts & Accessories, Flat Top Upper, Rear Sight - SARCO, Inc.
pretty good price on stripped a2 uppers.
the $40 a2 type have a sandblasted finish. the $45 a2s have the GI finish and probably a little wear. but for a retro build i don't see how you can go very wrong on um.
be aware that these probably don't have the m4 ramps. if you have a m4 barrel extension you'll have to blend them in.
my new a2 LAR upper i blended to the DPMS barrel, not really much to the blending part.
though i have been told that mall-ninjas drop dead at the mear "thought" of a tiny-teeny bit of grinding, filing or fitting!--LOL
this is a sarco deal. so far i have had no problems with their e-sarco orders --YMMV though.
mine came out to $50.95 shipped. so there S&S ain't too bad if you don't dog-pile your order with a bunch of extra stuff.

Gallery: Greenbrier Classic, July 4, 2013
Jul. 04, 2013 @ 10:34 PM
Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and 2012 Greenbrier Classic champion Ted Potter, Jr., were among the big names teeing off for the Greenbrier Classic on Thursday. At the end of the day, Johnson Wagner and Tommy Gainey each shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to share a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Greenbrier Classic.
