Stocks slipped on Wall Street Friday, putting the big indexes on track for their worst week since early June.
Bank and energy stocks led the way lower after investors had a mixed reaction to earnings reports from JP Morgan and Wells Fargo.
In early afternoon trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was off 20 points at 13,306, giving up an earlier gain of 75. The Standard & Poors 500 index fell five points at 1,428 and the Nasdaq composite lost three points to 3,046.
All three indexes are down more than 2 percent for the week, enough to make this their worst week since June. This week produced mixed results from U.S. corporations like Alcoa, Safeway and Yum Brands.
Its been a relative downer week in the market this week, and people are going into the weekend not wanting to hang out there too much, said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist for PNC Wealth Management.
Financial stocks were the focus on Friday.
The nations largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, posted record quarterly profit and blew away Wall Street expectations. Wells Fargo just edged out profit expectations but its revenue fell short of Wall Streets forecasts.
Wells Fargo fell $1.20, or 3.4 percent, to $33.98, and JPMorgan fell 54 cents to $41.56. Bank of America fell 25 cents to $9.09. US Bancorp lost 66 cents to $33.73.
Financial and energy stocks had the biggest declines among the 10 industries in the S&P 500. Only two sectors edged higher, technology and consumer staples.
Trucking and logistics company J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. rose $4.18, or 7.6 percent, to $58.97 after its third-quarter profit rose almost 14 percent on strong growth in handling containers that move by ship, rail, or truck.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. dropped 34 cents, or 10.6 percent, to $2.86, after the chipmaker said its third-quarter revenue will fall about 10 percent from the second quarter because of weak demand for its products.
Workday Inc.s initial public offering popped. The company provides remote storage for human resources and finance. The stock rose $19.78, or 70.6 percent, to $47.78 its the first day of trading.
European markets were mostly lower. The Britains FTSE 100 fell 0.6 percent and Germanys DAX fell 0.7 percent. Frances CAC-40 also gave up 0.7 percent.
Trading was steady in other markets too. The euro edged up 0.3 percent to $1.2970 and the benchmark oil price was 30 cents higher at $92.37 per barrel in New York trading.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged down to 1.66 percent from 1.67 percent late Thursday.

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
A child is not just a smaller version of an adult, and that's especially true when it comes to health care. Knowing this, Trident Health has added a 4,000-square-foot Pediatric Emergency Department at Summerville Medical Center (SMC) with the promise of a kid-friendly approach from the moment families arrive to when they take their children home.
Children and parents got a first glimpse of the new emergency facilities in October, when the hospital hosted a pre-Halloween "Spooktacular" party. "We got great feedback from a lot of families that came through the Pediatric Emergency Department and indicated how excited they are to have this available to them," says SMC Pediatric Manager Craig Duncan.
The Pediatric Emergency Department starts serving patients 24/7 this month. On Nov. 1, the hospital held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with Summerville Mayor Bill Collins and other community guests. "No parent should have to drive far for emergency pediatric care," says SMC CEO Lou Caputo. "The residents of Dorchester County, North Charleston and the surrounding communities deserve peace of mind when it comes to their children's health, and we are happy to provide it."
For young patients who need to stay at the hospital, SMC is constructing a new inpatient pediatric unit on the second floor, adjacent to women's services and the nursery. Scheduled to open in February, the inpatient unit will include a play area and a procedure room for distressing situations such as shots and IV placement, so the child's room remains a "safe haven" for healing. The new pediatric facilities all were designed with a cheerful approach to paint colors, artwork and lighting.
Staff includes board certified pediatric emergency physicians, pediatric nurses who will be on hand 24/7 and an in-house respiratory therapist trained in pediatric care. Plus, the head of the hospital's pharmacy department specializes in pediatrics. SMC already employs state-of-the-art medication programs in which dosing is determined by a child's weight.
The hospital's music therapist also will work with pediatric patients, and pet therapy will help promote healing as well.
"We have a core group of pediatric staff members who have a wealth of knowledge," says Duncan. "Each day, they amaze me with the ideas that they come up with to improve care. Without their dedication, none of this would be possible."
Before joining the hospital as pediatric manager in January, Duncan worked in several areas of pediatric medicine, including 10 years as a flight nurse on a pediatric flight team, which cares for children as they are being transported by helicopter to receive critical medical treatment. He has lived in Summerville over the past decade, too, raising five children with his wife, a nurse in SMC's intensive care unit. Their kids range in age from 5 to 11, so Duncan says he is personally glad the hospital is offering specialized pediatric care 24-7. "From a parent perspective, we're very excited to have this close to home."

Leveraging a $3 million matching grant from an anonymous Willamette family, we'll raise another $3.5 million to renovate and enhance the Sparks Athletic Center.
When Sparks was built in 1974, it was constructed primarily for varsity athletes, with a small weight room for student use.
In addition to the transformation of women's athletics over the last 40 years, most Willamette students make fitness an important part their daily lives. During their time at Willamette, nearly all students participate in varsity athletics, club sports, intramural sports or other physical activities.
These programs have grown tremendously, and Sparks can't keep pace with demand.
With your support, we can begin planned improvements to make this space fit our community's diverse needs.
An investment in Sparks Athletic Center isn't only an investment in Willamette athletics and students, it is a much broader and more potent investment in our community.

Syracuse Claims Pinstripe Bowl
BRONX, N.Y. - Syracuse looked right at home in the frigid elements this afternoon, defeating West Virginia, 38-14, in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl played at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y.
The Orange (8-5) used a power ground game that produced a 200 and a 100-yard rusher, and was able to take advantage of the slippery conditions to slow down the Mountaineers' sixth-ranked passing attack.
Prince-Tyson Gulley ran 25 times for 208 yards and two touchdowns and Jerome Smith added 157 yards on 30 carries to become the first duo to crack the 100-yard barrier against a Mountaineer defense this season. Syracuse had 369 yards rushing for the game.
"It wasn't tricky, it was split-zone over and over and over again," said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen. "Any time you get out-rushed by 300 yards (281) you're going to have some problems."
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith came into the game ranked sixth in the nation in total offense (346.5 ypg.) and was the first quarterback in WVU history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, but the senior will finish his career winless against Syracuse.
Smith's Mountaineer teams lost 19-14 to Syracuse in Morgantown in 2010 and dropped a 49-23 decision to the Orange in the Carrier Dome last season.
Today, West Virginia was chasing points from the moment Syracuse nose tackle Jay Bromley tipped Tyler Bitancurt's 46-yard field goal attempt on the game's opening possession.
Syracuse led 12-7 at halftime behind a safety, a Ross Krautman 25-yard field goal and a Gulley 33-yard touchdown run. The Orange erupted for three second-half touchdowns, scored another safety when Smith was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, and added a second Krautman field goal from 36 yards, giving Syracuse a satisfying victory over its former Big East rival.
A key moment in the game occurred early in the third quarter after Syracuse had taken a 19-7 lead on a Ryan Nassib-to-Beckett Wales 10-yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing possession, the Mountaineers used a 59-yard Smith-to-Stedman Bailey screen pass to get the football to the Orange 36. Three plays later, on a fourth and two, it appeared as if Andrew Buie was going to score a 28-yard touchdown run, which would have closed Syracuse's lead to five with a successful PAT, but the Mountaineers were penalized for holding – one of 10 flags thrown against West Virginia today.
"Not going to comment on that," said Holgorsen of the holding call. "It all falls into one category, you get behind the chains, you get calls, you get called back, but you have to keep continuing to play and we did a poor job of overcoming."
West Virginia was forced to punt after the penalty and immediately got the football right back when linebacker Isaiah Bruce stepped in front of a Nassib pass at the Syracuse 25. But the Mountaineers gave it right back to Syracuse when the football slipped out of Smith's hand as he was attempting to pass, and Dyshawn Davis jumped on it at the 33. On the very next play, Gulley broke the game wide open with a 67-yard touchdown run, going untouched down the West Virginia sideline for his second TD run of the afternoon.
Then three minutes later, Gulley tallied his third score on a 10-yard pass from Nassib to give Syracuse a 33-14 lead.
Both West Virginia touchdowns were produced by Stedman Bailey, who broke free on a screen pass for a 32-yard TD in the second quarter and then beat Syracuse defensive back Braddon Reddish down the sideline for a 29-yard touchdown with 5:41 left in the third quarter. Bailey's score closed Syracuse's lead to 26-14.
Today's loss represents a disappointing ending to the fabulous careers of Smith, Bailey and Tavon Austin.
Smith completed 16 of 24 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns to end his career with 11,658 yards passing and 98 touchdowns – both WVU records.
"The weather obviously had some effect (on Smith's performance today)," said Holgorsen. "They didn't throw for many yards, either, but it's hard to pinpoint one thing. We did a poor job of overcoming adversity and there was a lot of adversity. The surface was not good; it was sloppy out there and wet and you just can't sit there and point out Geno.
"The O-line had a hard time of sitting down and the receivers had a hard time running routes. The team with the best running game was going to win and they clearly had the better running game."
Bailey caught seven passes for 126 yards and the two TDs, giving him 113 catches for 1,627 yards and 25 touchdown receptions for the season. Bailey, who announced earlier this month that he will be entering this year's NFL draft, ended his Mountaineer career with 209 receptions for 3,223 yards and 41 touchdowns.
Austin's 2012 season totals include 112 catches for 1,280 yards and career totals of 286 catches for 3,404 yards and 29 touchdowns. Austin led West Virginia with 54 yards rushing and finished the game with 150 all-purpose yards, giving him a school-record 7,284 all-purpose yards for his career.
"Our seniors, each and every one of them, have overcome a lot," said Holgorsen. "They overcame coaching changes and they overcame conference changes and they mean a lot to me and the coaching staff, and we appreciate what they have done and they can always come back."
West Virginia concludes its season with a 7-6 record.

The bodice is thinly lined. You would be able to see the bra color if you wore a brightly colored one. I would suggest wearing a solid, padded, flesh toned bra.

The 62 year old KidsPeace Auxiliary held its annual holiday dinner on December 16 to celebrate another year of fundraising for the children of KidsPeace. The Auxiliary made a donation of $6,000, its final payment on the organization's pledge to support the building fund for the Broadway Campus in Bethlehem, PA. Construction is moving ahead quickly on a new building that will provide housing for children in residential treatment and rooms for outpatient counseling for children in KidsPeace Community-Based Programs. The project also includes renovation of several buildings on the campus and improvement to traffic patterns that will ensure safety of all who visit the campus.
The 60 Auxiliary members and KidsPeace associates who attended the dinner were treated to holiday songs by several of the KidsPeace children. Auxiliary members presented each child with a holiday gift and were very touched by the gratitude expressed by the children. The Auxiliary has been supporting KidsPeace with its generous donations these many years and always provides holiday and birthday gifts for the children in residential treatment at the Pennsylvania campuses. "We are so blessed to have the support of this wonderful group of women who conduct fundraisers throughout the year on behalf of our children," said Director of Advancement Sharon McCarthy.

Another program I need the DVDs of. roflol I saw a couple of episodes of that & never saw it again, but always had the sense they might have duplicated the magic again that they'd created with the very first series & then Next Generation, but never quite seemed to do again with Voyager & Deep Space 9. Amazing how much stuff you set aside that could potentally encumber when He's training you.

FANCY GAP, Va. — A Floyd County man was one of three people killed in a 95-car pileup on Interstate 77 on Easter.
According to the Virginia State Police, William M. Sosebee, 33, of Allen, was a passenger in a vehicle that collided with a tractor-trailer in the southbound lanes of I-77. Sosebee died at the scene.
Police say dense fog was the cause of a 95-vehicle pileup on Interstate 77 in Fancy Gap on Easter Sunday that claimed the lives of three and injured 25 others.
Spokesman Mike Conroy of the Virginia State Police said the pileup began at approximately 1 p.m. Sunday between mile markers 6 and 5 of the southbound lane of the interstate in Fancy Gap. In total, 95 vehicles were involved, three people were confirmed dead as of 4 p.m., and 25 more were transported to area hospitals to be treated for injuries, Conroy said, adding that there were 17 separate accidents in the pile-up. All occurred in the southbound lanes of I-77 towards the base of Fancy Gap Mountain. At the "epicenter" of the crashes was a 6-to-8 vehicle crash in which the vehicles caught fire.
In addition to Sosebee, Virginia State Police said two other people were killed in the series of crashes. Kathern Worley, 71, of Iron Station, N.C., was a passenger in a different vehicle that collided with the same tractor-trailer with which the vehicle Sosebee was riding struck. Worley also died at the scene, state police officials said.
Andrew Katbi, 24, of Delphos, Ohio, was driving a passenger vehicle that rear-ended a tractor-trailer in the southbound lanes of I-77. Katbi also died at the scene, the state police said.
The cause of the initial crash remains under investigation at this time. No charges have been placed.
Since 5:47 a.m. Sunday, overhead message boards along I-77 had been advising motorists to slow their speed due to severe fog through the Fancy Gap Mountain area. The main cause of the crashes were motorists traveling too fast for conditions.
Carroll County public school buses were used to transport motorists - not injured in the crashes but their vehicles were too damaged to drive away - to nearby hotels and other locations for shelter overnight Sunday.
"Fog was a major contributing factor. I am assuming it was one accident and then a cluster after that," Conroy told The Carroll News on the scene.
The southbound lanes of I-77 were closed from Fort Chiswell to Exit 1 in Lambsburg, a stretch of approximately 30 miles, to allow wreckers, rescue workers and emergency personnel to reach the accident scene, which Conroy estimated stretched between a half and three-quarters of a mile.
"It's the worst accident I've ever seen," said Virginia State Police 1st Sgt. Mike Musser at the scene.
Lee Lewis of Charleston, W. Va. was traveling to Hilton Head Island, S.C. when he saw the first accident unfold in front of him. He and his family were able to get out of the wreckage unscathed, but he said fellow motorists did not heed a posted message at the top of the mountain to slow down for dense fog.
"It was way too foggy and cars were going way too fast. I was going 40 to 45 miles per hour," Lewis said. "You couldn't see but about 30 feet in front of you. A car in front of us stopped and it piled up from there. I rolled my window down and you could just hear car after car crashing behind us. My family was able to get up to a bank untouched."
Miraculously, Joan Jenkins and her husband from Canada walked away without injury after being hit not once, but twice by separate tractor trailers. Jenkins said the couple was traveling to Florida when the chain reaction started. She said her car was sideswiped by a UPS truck before being run over by another tractor trailer.
"We feel very lucky. We had stopped after we saw a crash in front of us. A UPS truck came beside us and sideswiped our car. In front of us, another tractor trailer had wrecked and caught on fire," Jenkins said. "After we got hit, we got out and my husband started screaming for us to run. Our thought was just to get out of there. We heard the cars crashing behind us. Another truck came and ran over top of our car. We were so thankful we weren't hurt. We were just happy we were able to send messages to our children and say we were okay. It was unbelievable."
Conroy said the northbound lanes of Interstate 77 were also closed in order to prevent any more accidents.
"The reason we do that is we have found in the past when you open it up to traffic, people come by looking at the lights and to see what's going on," Conroy said. "You still have dense fog and it leads to more wrecks. That is why we shut it down."
Northbound lanes were are also closed in order to allow emergency vehicles to get to and from the southbound lanes as quickly and safely as possible. Detours were put in place to re-direct I-77 traffic in both directions, causing major backups on U.S. 52 and other alternate routes in Carroll County. Southbound lanes remained closed until 11:25 p.m. Sunday night as troopers investigating the crashes and removed vehicles from the scene.
A similar incident occured on November 16, 2010 at the 7 mile marker of I-77 southbound in Fancy Gap that involved 75 vehicles and left two dead.
American Red Cross disaster workers, in coordination with local emergency management in Hillsville, provided shelter for those impacted by the traffic accident on I-77 at the Hillsville VFW. Additional disaster workers, feeding vehicles and cots and blankets were at the shelter. The Red Cross also provided meals for the families as well as first responders.

Bird Island Research Station Webcam
The Bird Island webcam is situated in the office window of Prince House, the living/accomodation building on Bird Island. It usually points South West, towards Molly Hill and Tonk. The generator shed and the jetty can be seen in the foreground. It is updated every hour, but the blind is closed at dusk so no image will be seen after dark. This prevents night-flying birds that are attracted to the light from hitting the windows.
In summer, the beach in the foreground is a busy Antarctic fur seal breeding colony, in winter it is sometimes visited by leopard seals, and in spring by large male elephant seals. Gentoo penguins can be seen at any time. Dense fog can sometimes make the image rather disappointing, but our constantly changing wildlife and seasons means the camera is of interest all year round.

No. 22 MISSOURI 71, SOUTH CAROLINA 65
By R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. Frank Haith seemed fairly calm for a coach under fire, and one who shed his sports coat and tie while willing his team forward.
No. 22 Missouris second-half surge no doubt had a lot to do with it.
During a dismal first half Haith said he almost bust a blood vessel. After the Tigers rallied from 13 points down in the second half and held off South Carolina 71-65 on Tuesday, the coach said he was relieved that a lengthy NCAA investigation implicating Haith in recruiting violations at Miami was apparently about to end.
Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown hit key 3-pointers in the final 1:11 for Missouri, which was just 5 for 27 from long range overall.
Ross had a career-best 21 points and Brown had 17 for Missouri (14-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), which is 11-0 at home this season and has won 12 straight at the Mizzou Arena since losing to Kansas State and coach Frank Martin, now in his first year at South Carolina, on Feb. 21, 2012.
Brown had eight points in a 20-2 run that gave Missouri a five-point lead with just under 12 minutes to go. Alex Oriakhi was 10 for 10 at the line and fouled out in the final minute with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers, who won despite 33 percent overall shooting.
Brenton Williams had 16 points with four 3-pointers for South Carolina (11-7, 1-4), which has lost four conference games by a combined 18 points and faced its first ranked opponent of the season. RJ Shawson added 10 points for the Gamecocks, who shot 37 percent.
Missouri had a huge advantage at the free throw line, going 28 for 36 compared to 11 for 17 by South Carolina. Martin stopped short of criticizing the referees.
I thought both teams were going at it at the rim, Martin said. Im not going to go there because Im probably not going to wake up really happy tomorrow if I go there.
I dont know what to tell you. They came at us. We went at them.
South Carolina went more than 5½ minutes between points, finally ending the drought on a tip-in by Brian Richardson that cut the deficit to three with 11:34 left.

Every parent worries about their children as they enter the world of sports, but many are unaware of the measures that can be taken to protect their young athletes from injuries, which is where the Taylor Haugen Foundation comes in.
The organization was created in memory of Taylor Haugen, a 15-year-old
"It was originally started by
Brian and his wife Kathy both knew that they wanted to raise awareness about safety precautions for young athletes, but weren't psychologically ready until about two years ago.
When the time was right, they started the Youth Equipment for Sports Safety program (YESS).
"What really kicked it in gear were two local injuries," said Brian. "In
Although Brian and Kathy have no other children, they feel an obligation to educate parents and schools of the importance of proper equipment.
Since keeping kids out of sports programs is not an option — Taylor himself played sports pretty much since he was born, Brian said — providing teams with professional, protective equipment is a major goal of the Taylor Haugen Foundation.
"We don't want to prevent kids from playing the sports of his/her dreams," Brian said.
And so, the foundation has outfitted almost 1,000 athletes from 25 different teams in the Southeast with EvoShield rib shields.
"We want to educate and equip," Brian said.
Brian and Kathy did the necessary research that led them to EvoShield. Through grants from St. Joe Community Foundation and local fundraising, they've set out to cover the entire local region in protective gear, with sights set on expanding nationwide.
"We've had some requests from
The rib shields, Brian notes, are worn by professional football players, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III uses them. The shields provide extra padding in the right and left side of the ribs and they're three times more efficient than traditional gear.
"They're also lightweight and breathable, so it feels like part of your T-shirt," he said. "If we would've known they were available, my son would've worn them."
On Tuesday,
"My wife likes to say if we can better protect one kid, we've made a difference," he said. "We want parents to be educated and prepared."

Year of publication
- 2011 (5) (remove)
- (Acetonitrile-κN)chloridobis[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ2 C 1,N]iridium(III) (2011)
- The IrIII atom of the title compound, [Ir(C11H8N)2Cl(CH3CN)], displays a distorted octahedral coordination. The pyridyl groups are in trans positions [N—Ir—N = 173.07 (10)°], while the phenyl groups are trans with respect to the acetonitrile and chloride groups [C—Ir—N = 178.13 (11) and C—Ir—Cl = 176.22 (9)°]. The pyridylphenyl groups only show a small deviation from planarity, with the dihedral angle between the planes of the two six-membered rings in each pyridylphenyl group being 5.6 (2) and 5.8 (1)°. The crystal packing shows intermolecular C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]Cl, C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]π(acetonitrile) and C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]π(pyridylphenyl) contacts.
- Tetrakis(diethyl ether)tetra-μ4-oxido-octakis(pentafluorophenyl)octazinc (2011)
- Mol-ecules of the title compound, [Zn(8)(C(6)F(5))(8)O(4)(C(4)H(10)O)(4)], are located on a special position of site symmetry [Formula: see text]. As a result, there is just one quarter-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The title compound features a Zn(4)O(4) cube. Each Zn atom in the cube carries a pentafluorophenyl substituent. Each O atom is bonded to a further Zn atom, which is connected to a pentafluorophenyl substituent and the O atom of a diethyl ether mol-ecule. All ether C atoms are disordered over two sets of sites with a site occupation factor of 0.51 (2) for the major occupied site.
- 4-[Bis(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)meth-yl]benzene-1,2-diol (2011)
- The title compound, C25H20N4O2, is a ditopic ortho-hydroquinone-based bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligand. The dihedral angles between the planes of the pyrazole rings and their attached phenyl rings are 17.4 (3) and 5.9 (4)°. The pyrazole rings make a dihedral angle of 87.84 (16)°. One of the two hydroxy groups forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the other hydroxy group, whereas the second is involved in an intermolecular O—H[cdots, three dots, centered]N hydrogen bond. As a result of these intermolecular hydrogen bonds, helical chains running along the b axis are formed.
- Tetrakis(μ(3)-9-oxa-10-boraanthracen-10-olato)tetrakis[(diethyl ether)lithium] (2011)
- The title compound, [Li4O4(C12H8BO)4(C4H10O)4], features a Li4O4 cube. Each Li atom in the cube is additionally coordinated by a diethyl ether molecule and each O atom in the cube carries a 9-oxa-10-boraanthracene residue. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin [twin law (-1 0 0 / 0 0 1 / 0 1 0); the contribution of the major twin component refined to 0.553 (3)] emulating apparent tetragonal symmetry, whereas the actual crystal system is just orthorhombic.
- The low-temperature structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide (2011)
- The crystal structure of the title compound, hexa-μ2-bromido-μ4-oxido-tetrakis[(diethyl ether)magnesium], [Mg4Br6O(C4H10O)4], determined from data measured at 173 K, differs from the previously known structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide, which was determined from room-temperature data [Stucky & Rundle (1964 [triangle]). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 86, 4821–4825]. The title compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg, whereas the previously known structure crystallizes in a different tetragonal space group, namely P An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg21 c. Both molecules have crystallographic An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg symmetry and show almost identical geometric parameters for the Mg, Br and O atoms. The crystal of the title compound turned out to be a merohedral twin emulating a structure with apparent Laue symmetry 4/mmm, whereas the correct Laue group is just 4/m. The fractional contribution of the minor twin component converged to 0.462 (1).

Things I liked:I liked eberything about this gun.. It works great and my boyfriend and I like how it shoots. My oldr brother likes it too. We ike mostly everything about it besides one thing.
Things I would have changed:There is only one thing that I would change about this and it is that it should come with a sight or a laser sigh or smething like that. That would be the best thing.
What others should know:This Shotgun is good but you should find one that comes with a sight on it or laser sight on it. Other then that is gun is great we love how it works ut now we have to find a sight that works with this shotgun....
Things I liked:The fps and the price! Great combination! ;-)
Things I would have changed:The pumping arm has to be pushed forward quite hard.....have it on a spring so it will spring forward by itself.
What others should know:The trigger is kinda crappy, the stock is in the way if you have a airsoft mask on, and the pumping arm is quite hard to push forward
Things I liked:This gun reminds me of my old daisy pump, not like the new one I own, it has twice the fire power as the daisy pump .177, and is any child's first guns dream! With the ajustable stock it makes it so little or larger kids can use it. Well built too, metal parts and strong heavy plastic on others, the Quick loader makes it sweet!
Things I would have changed:I would have put some sort of site on it.

Without fittings we can not guarantee you will not need a few alterations. We suggest searching for a tailor that is local to you and who has reputable on-line reviews. Yelp.com is a wonderful resource. We suggest EVERY bride make an appointment with a tailor in the two weeks prior to her wedding, even when your gown is a perfect fit on arrival. This exciting time can cause weight fluctuation among some brides. Dolly and her team take pride in packaging and preparing gowns for shipping, however, some wrinkling may occur in transit. Pressing or steaming wrinkles (along with alterations) are the responsibility of the bride. Thank you so much for your order!

Wool is a traditional material that's been used in hat-making for generations. The processes required to build a fine wool hat involve great attention-to-detail, which is a trademark of U.S.A. manufacturing. Many of these methods have remained unchanged over the years, and take a lot of time and patience. The payoff is a superb-quality hat that will become a trusted part of somebody's wardrobe for years to come!

They're in. YellowLogic ALT-15 80% standard mag well
They look real nice and 80% are hard to find currently.
This is an INSANE amount for an 80%, they have always been higher than the 100% for people who want something special in a lower.
I have bought some 80% in the past and one vendor would also give you a discount on a replacement with the one you screwed up as a return.
I wish you luck selling them, I think the type of people that will pay that price are not people I want to meet in person.

CCIEs Are Required to Recertify Every Two Years
Active CCIE status shows your commitment to maintaining expert-level knowledge in an industry critical to the success of virtually every organization. CCIEs are encouraged to continually expand their technical knowledge and are required to pass a recertification exam every two years. If you do not complete your recertification before the deadlines, your CCIE certification will be suspended and you and your employer will lose the benefits associated with your expert status. You have one year to reinstate your CCIE status before you become inactive and must begin the certification process all over again.
Recertification Deadline
- Your recertification deadline can be viewed online anytime (with login) at Certification Status.
- Subsequent recertification deadlines are always based on your original certification date, not on when you took your last recertification exam.
Recertification Details
- To maintain active status, every 24-months CCIEs are required to pass one of the following before the certification expiration date:
- Pass any current CCIE Written Exam OR CCIE Lab Exam or
- Pass the current CCDE Written Exam OR current CCDE Practical Exam, or
- Pass the Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) interview AND the CCAr board review to extend lower certifications.
- CCIE certification automatically extends other Cisco Certifications, such as CCNP or CCNA.
- Candidates can only apply one passed written exam towards recertification for every 24 month recertification period.
- Candidates must wait 15 calendar days between attempts at the written exam.
- Certification candidates are responsible for keeping track of their certification expiration dates. Please plan your recertification accordingly. If your CCIE recertification requirements are not completed on or before the certification's expiration date, your CCIE certification will be suspended for one year. Candidates have one year to recertify their CCIE certification by passing the required written exam. If a candidate does not recertify prior to the one year deadline and your employer will be notified. Suspended candidates have one year to recertify their CCIE certification by passing the required written exam or practical lab before their expert level certification becomes permanently inactive. Inactive CCIE professionals lose all benefits and must pass both the CCIE written and lab or CCDE written or practical exams again.
- Achieving or recertifying CCIE automatically extends your active Entry, Associate, Professional or other Expert level certification(s), or Specialist certifications up to the expiration date of the latest CCIE, CCDE or CCAr certification achieved.
- Be sure to use the same ID number you were assigned for your original qualification exam to ensure your profile is updated accurately. If you have any questions about which ID number to use, contact CCIE support.
Recertification Exams Available
Written exams are two-hour, multiple-choice exams available at any worldwide Pearson VUE testing center. Schedule and pay for exams online with the testing vendor.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
It was disturbing to read the apparent anger directed at our Waitsfield Select Board concerning the approval of an anonymous gift of $100,000 in support of the Farm Stand property for a sorely needed new town hall. Added were nasty remarks directed at the individual who donated and chose not to be identified. It still is a free country, and I would not be happy for Waitsfield to lead the way to changing that wonderful fact.
The fact that a government grant of $750,000 was also earmarked for a new building on the Farm Stand property would bring the approximate cost of a town hall that we can be proud of to somewhere near $350,000. There are others who desire moving the town government into the old Methodist Church property, costing close to $1 million while adding a large additional tax burden upon all of us who live in Waitsfield.
Can we stop the nasty remarks and look at the reality of the issues involved? We need to move our crowded town hall operation out of our library that needs the vacated space for its own records and book storage. The church building is historic but has four tenants who would have to be evicted along with a cost and much needed carpentry adjustments to closely, but with certain reservations, fit the needs of offices and meeting space for approximately 50 people. A new building would be designed to fit all those needs, one that we all could be proud of while serving the public in a way that is efficient and effective.
On October 22, there will be another and hopefully final vote that should decide this important step for the town of Waitsfield. Waitsfield residents, it is your duty and responsibility to get your vote counted for the most responsible answer suitable for the welfare and future of us all – financial and effective. My vote is for a new building on the Farm Stand property. Please join me.
Gene Scarpato

By Craig from USA on 2010-10-25 23:10:06Things I liked:All metal construction (with the exception of the hand guards), realistic look and feel of a true AK-74U.
Things I would have changed:Better battery (9.6V instead of 8.6V) and instructions are poorly writen for USA market.
What others should know:Sling guide on folding stock makes annoying "clank-clank" noise when it hits steel stock. Can correct this with black vinyl tape. No longer marked with Vector Arms logo or any indication of Vector Arms endorsment. This is a Echo 1-Red Star branded item.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
By Rich L from USA on 2009-02-06 09:34:20Things I liked:This gun is rugged and very realistic. The hop up is easy to adjust once you find it, just pull the eject slide back on the right side. It is a little noiser than some AEGs, but I think that adds to the realism. The battery is very easily accessible by releasing one button on the top back of the gun. I upgraded to a 9.6v battery from the standard 8.4v. It took about 10 seconds.
Things I would have changed:The magazine release lever is right next to the trigger guard and it is too easy to accidentally release the magazine while carrying the gun. That was quickly fixed by using a plastic wire tie that I now have permanently on the trigger guard. Now I just slide it over the magazine release lever to hold it in place and slide the wire tie off to release the magacine. The loop that holds the optional sling onto the gun is not rugged enough and came off during play. That was easily fixed by replacing it with a key ring that I epoxied together so it wouldn't come apart. Now the gun is perfect and I love using it.
What others should know:I find that the sighting pulls slightly to the left. This seems to be indicitive of this model, but is totally not an issue in tactical combat situations where you shoot from the hip anyway.

More Google Maps mashups are surfacing in Holland recently. With the introduction of street maps to this country, it seems combining data with maps is something that is gaining in popularity there. Here are all the known Google Maps mashups for the Netherlands. If you know of any others please post a comment at the bottom!
Eyefi's Arjan Scherpenisse has created MarktKijker (English: market watcher) which is a Google Maps mashup for the Dutch auctioning site Marktplaats.nl and ebay.nl. He explains: "The site has a feature called 'marktprikker' (market pointer), which plots on the map where the items searched for are located. If you register at the site and enter your zip code, the site sorts the result according to the nearest distance to your location. Marktplaats is the second most visited site after Google.nl among the approximately 16 million people in Holland.

Google Maps updated with Contacts search, faster local search

The English language version of the app is now available the following countries: Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.

You will be taken to that address on the map when you tap their name. Search has been improved with the addition of quick search icons. Tapping the search bar will cause the app to display icons for restaurants, coffee, bars, and gas stations. Tap the right-most icon to be given more quick searches. Tapping your chosen icon will automatically take you to a nearby establishment.
The update is live on the App Store. Grab it and let us know what you think.

Google Maps updated with Contacts search, faster local search
It appears to search your contacts in your Google account but only ones with an address listed, of course.
Works quite well here, nice update.
A good update, yes. But forcing you to have your contact information in Gmail/Google contacts, which not all of us do. I understand why, but I don't keep as much in gmail/google because they throw it everywhere in your pages in an effort to make it easier, but, at least to me, clutters everything up and continually pushes the Google+ which I don't use and have yet to connect to a single person there.
That said, for those completely ingrained in the google suite if services, nice update.
I'm one of those fully ingrained in Google-land, so this is pretty dang nice for me.
Now I just want offline maps. Then it would be 90% as good as the Android version.
A great update for those of us who use Google Contacts, addressing the only real glaring annoyance in the first release.
It does not search contacts from Google Apps accounts. Very frustrating! I signed out and signed in with regular Gmail account and it worked flawlessly.
I have my contacts synced with iCloud. Can it search for my contacts?
It does not search your contacts. Contacts on my phone have addresses but none they are not showing up. disappointed. I don't know why they don't just ask for access to my contacts on my phone.
agreed, this is crazy they only made it show google contacts for results. not everyone has those. luckily i do so I am happy this is finally here and no more copy and paste. but still baffles me why they kept it this way. of course they want you to use all google services. but for contacts, is it that big of a deal to search for the ones on the phone. hmmm
It's not baffling, it's business. Google chose this route to maximize the chances of people signing up for their services:
1) Release a 1.0 to consensus reviews of "better than Apple Maps, but one big flaw -- needs contacts in order to be perfect"
2) Release a 1.1 that fixes that flaw, but only if you have Google contacts.
There will be a non-trivial number of people who like Google Maps/dislike Apple Maps enough to set up Google contacts (or at least sync what they have over to Google as well) to make better use of the Google Maps application. Each of those users represents an opportunity for Google they otherwise would not have.
I'm not saying I agree with that decision, but I understand it.
More like
1) Release 1.0 "better tan Apple maps, but needs to access contacts on my phone."
2) Release 1.1 does NOT fix that flaw.
Regardless of reason or motivation, it's a half assed attempt in my opinion simply because it was not a solution to the problem. It's like if you have a flat tire and someone puts a spare on a different car: it's not a solution to the problem.
Nope - to use your analogy, it is as if you have a flat tire, and somebody offers to fix it for you, and keep it fixed, as long as you patronize their gas station.
It's a solution to the problem - just a solution with a string attached.
This is nice. But what the ALSO need to do is give us a feature on Google Maps that lets us add a map listing to our Gmail Contacts. It's SO annoying every time I have to copy and past the name, address, phone, website, and email address of a business into my Gmail contacts one field at a time. Please fix this Google! And on Maps you let us 'send to email', but ONLY if we don't use Gmail! That feature opens up an exchange window that works with MS exchange only. Really? No 'send to gmail' option? Or 'send to gmail contacts'?
INSET Mobile app for Google allows you to update your gmail contacts in whichever gmail account you have running on the browser and it will automatically update the plotting of your contacts. In Beta, try out and the pro version will be available based on the beta with all the contacts.
