Can a m1 carbine using a 110 grain bullet knock down a steel target without a problem?
Depends on the weight of the target. The silhouette type targets for other than rimfire will be too heavy generally for knockdown. That doesn't mean a high placed shot won't tip it, but the further out, the less likely it will knock them down. You will also have more luck on tall type targets like the chickens or turkeys where the targets sit on one leg, and tip more easily. They do have round type targets that have small bases and are easy to tip. So...all depends on the type of steel target, it's weight and design and of course distance.
The first day I took my IBM M1 Carbine to the range, I shot a single magazine at steel knock down targets. Not only did the .30 carbine knock the targets down, but the round dang near penetrated the 3/8 inch steel at 15 yards. I took the carbine over to the 100 yard range and punched paper with it to avoid damaging the knock down targets.
I thought its knock down power would be a problem, i guess not. Ok thanks for the help guys.
Funny, but I thought they just bounced off Chinese soldiers in winter jackets.
The Box O' Truth #36 - Frozen Clothing And The Box O' Truth - Page 1
I know, it's been posted before, but I'll post it again to educate people :biglaugh:
Bravo again, Bravo!!!
I love conclusion #5!!!
Of course, if we all didn't already know that we'd be chatting with different people on a different site!!!
Not exactly "scientific", but it gets the point across. I had not heard the part about "frozen" clothing. I had always chuckled when hearing of quilted jackets stopping a .30 Carbine bullet - but no one wanted to wear one while I shot him with my Carbine . . . :kinky:
It's funny how many folks think so highly of the CZ52 pistol, claiming all kinds of deep penetration, but think the .30 Carbine a wimp - the Carbine has nearly the same bullet at a bit higher velocity! :bigeyes2:
I used an M1 Carbine on a trip out west, oooh, bout 21 years ago. Admittedly, using surplus ammo of indeterminable vintage. We encountered goats in plague numbers, a friend and I ran side by side, he with a Winchester Riot gun, and me with the M1. I found I had to strafe the goats to get any result. He was one 00 9 pellet per goat ruining day, I had to put 2 or 3 caps in to get them to stop.
Didnt get to use it on pigs, but I`d have imagined it`d have been marginal at best. Glad I never carried one in a war by crikey. It was a fun lil rifle though, no recoil and relatively reliable.
Hi guys,I have one personal experience with the M1 Carbine.
Once on a pig hunting trip a guy offered me the use of one,I fired some rounds at camp and was surprised by the accuracy and ease with which the little gun operated.
His advice to me was to get as close as possible to any game.
But after impressing myself at the camp with my baked bean tin killing skills I set off walking hoping to find an old hog camped up somewhere that I could ambush with my new found semi auto friend.
I hadnt walked for very long before I came across a big old buck kangaroo with his back to me resting in the shade,at a guess he was about 100 yds away when I saw him and he did not notice me on account of it being such a dry hot day with next to no wind.
I recalled the advice given on getting close to shoot and slowly stalked within about 50 yds of him,I took aim from a clump of fallen trees that separated us and fired at his centre chest,he startled and rushed towards me a few jumps then paused with his head going in all directions to find the danger,crap!!!!! i thought to myself!!I missed!!! this all took seconds and at the same time i fired again,this time twice and was sure I hit him,just as quick he spun and headed for the scrub line only 25yds to my right,in the time he took to get to the scrub I fired 3 more times and then he was gone.
There began a chase which lasted another 15 mins,as soon as I would spot him he would be gone again and again and again until I cornered him against a steep erosion he was breathing hard through chest wounds but it took 2 more shots,one being to the head at 10yds to bring him down.
Autralian kangaroo species vary in sizes a lot but he was a large red kangaroo and probobly weighed in the order of 70 to 80 kilos liveweight.
Upon examination of the carcass I saw that I had indeed hit him a total of 6 out of the 8 shots fired,I guess I missed 2 of the 3 running shots,I did not open him up but of the 6 hits 3 were in the chest 1 lower on the stomach 1 in the neck area and the 1 finishing shot to the head,none of the shots exited and external bleeding was quite minimal,I was somewhat dissapointed in the gun and myself for the way in which things transpired and resolved not to use it again for an animal of that size.
That same night we went hunting rabbits by spotlight,the M1 performed admirably and was great fun to shoot with its semi automatic operation and large mag.
I liked the guns look and feel and wanted one for many years(still do) but at that time was unable to afford one,susequent changes to law have made ownership nearly impossible.
The rounds used were military and never failed to fire but i do recall the conversation that night being in sympathy with anyone sent to face an enemy with that gun.
My respect and gratitude goes to the many that did exactly that.
They would be without doubt the ones to best judge the knockdown power of the M1 Carbine.
I think a good point to be made is that people that have had issues hunting with this gun were almost always using FMJ ammo. Remington (as much as I hate their ammo) makes a very nice soft point .30 Carbine around. It's more accurate than surplus ammo and hits hard. I've seen deer dropped within 25 yards of being shot...
I agree that the gun isn't as powerful as a .308 or 30-06, but you have to take it for what it is. The gun is extremely light, reliable, and accurate. Shot placement and range have to be seriously considered before taking a shot.
Some say that they are glad that they didn't have one during a war. If my shots were limited to 100 yards or less, I would love to carry one.
I'll take the 30-06 any day.
Well I would too :09:, but in close combat, the Carbine is soo much lighter than the '06. You can carry more ammo and fire more rapidly. Shot placement is key, but you don't always have time to sit on your target long enough.
Have you been within bayonet/knife range of any foes?
Are you saying you'd rather use a knife than a carbine?
No!!But if you don't what I meant we'll just leave it alone.
i own a carbine and i love the little thing! ive shot coyotes with it mostly and never had any trouble and hardly ever needing two shots. and if you look at some ballistic charts the 30 carbine actually more energy than some 357 mag rounds fired from a 6" barrel ! and my dad who was a marine at the chosin reservior,told me how he was so happy when he got to dump his garand for a carbine in korea! he said that yeah it was not as powerful as the garand,but it held 30 rounds! and he said no one he saw get hit with it got up again. that was the best testimonial i could have had for the little gun
I also like the carbine very much but have never shot anything living with one.
This is my first offense on this forum. I actually know something about the Carbine, having carried one in my aircraft as an Army Aviator. It was light and kicked little, and you could one hand it if you wanted to do so(if you didn't care much about hitting anything). I was in from 61-81, and carried just about everything I could lay hands on including a really nice Thompson 1928(AF guy lost it in poker game), various shotguns and of course the M16. I think the Carbine was my favorite, I got one via CMP ($20.00 + shipping) and did some hunting with it. With SP ammo it would take down deer quite nicely, the ballistics tables indicate it is in league with a really hot .357 load, which is pretty OK. Everyone above is right, the FMJ ammo does not do much for stopping power, on the other hand a lot of people got dead on the business end of the M1 Carbine in WWII, Korea and VN.
You mean to tell me that M1 Carbines wre used to kill people? And here I thought if they were hit by a carbine they died of embarssment. You know come to think of it I have never been to the VFW and heard anyone tell me they were killed by an M1 Carbine. Coincidence? I think not.

A dozen school districts in Kentucky will be sharing an $8.8 million, three-year grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.
Officials say the "Integration Grant" will support the integration of several critical streams of work - measures of effective teaching, implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and the development of innovative tools and resources to help teachers deliver instruction.
"The 12 school districts involved in this work will be models for the rest of the state," said Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday in a news release. "Their efforts will be crucial to Kentucky's implementation of the Common Core State Standards. Students will receive meaningful and rigorous instruction, while their teachers will be supported through high-quality resources and measurement of their effectiveness."
The 12 districts receiving the grant money are Daviess County, Fleming County, Gallatin County, Jackson Independent, Jessamine County, Lee County, Owen County, Washington County, Jefferson County, Kenton County, Magoffin County, and Simpson County.
Officials say Kentucky is one of three states, including Colorado and Louisiana, to receive an Integration Grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The data for this study consist of four separate national-level surveys (combined N=4,920) and one local-level survey (N=222). The study was undertaken to identify major concerns of Americans that have relevance for perceptions of well-being and to develop ways to measure people's affective evaluations of these concerns. The April data (Part 1) are derived from the OMNIBUS STUDY, SPRING 1973 (ICPSR 7453), the May data (Part 2) from the OMNIBUS STUDY, SPRING 1972, the July data (Part 3) from the TOLEDO STUDY, and the November Form I data (Part 4) and the November Form II data (Part 5) from the AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1972 (ICPSR 7010). Different groups of American adults were asked open-ended questions concerning evaluations and perceptions of their quality of life. Respondents were asked to indicate their feelings about many aspects of life as well as about their life as a whole. The concerns probed ranged from personal to national matters and included both life domains (such as family, house, and job) and evaluative criteria (such as accomplishment, attractiveness, and independence). Demographic variables include age, sex, race, marital status, education, income, occupation, and religion. Different overlapping subsets of the items were administered in each survey.

This study contains data on the use of the news media by 1,919 adults in the United States in 1957 and their attitudes toward science and scientists. Closed and open-ended questions were asked to explore the role of the mass media in informing the public about developments in science, as well as respondents' use of newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, and the programs of interest to them. Additional questions explored respondents' use of the media as a source of scientific information, their assessments of the medium that provided a major source of their entertainment, news, and science information, their attitudes toward science and its effects on society, their understanding of the meaning of scientific studies, their opinions of the character of scientists and their freedom to engage in any kind of research, their concept of causality, and their views of earth satellites.

The all new Social Media Meltdown™ board game launches today.
The game is a tongue in cheek take on our cultural obsession with Social Media. Featuring social media faux pas extraordinaire, the game is set to be a big hit this Christmas as those social media addicts we all know find the game in their Christmas stocking this year!
Steve Reece, the Game's inventor said "I've been professionally involved with board games for years, previously managing huge titles like Monopoly, Cluedo and others in a different working life. But I hadn't seen anybody launch a game reflecting the biggest cultural/media trend of the last decade, and sought to fill the very obvious gap with a funny and light hearted game. There is no serious point to be made here – I use Social Media a little too much myself, but still you do have to see the funny side of this massive phenomenon as well".
The game is distributed under license by Imagination Games in the UK & Eire, and is available from all leading retail stores.
The game's inventor is available for on air interviews from now until Christmas 2012. He is an acknowledged expert on the Board Games and Toy industry, with a published book "The 55 Features of Best Selling board games". Interview's are subject to availability, but we will do our best to fit all in!

Respond to Review of Maoz Vegetarian - Saint-Andre des Arts
by GreenFinchy
Review: Loved this place, we ended up eating there twice during our short August break. When you need something quick, fresh and tasty and guaranteed meat-free this is hard to beat! The place itself is on the small side, just a few chairs and no loo. It's all managed by one person who was so friendly and whizzed about serving everyone and cooking the falafel fresh at great speed. You can help yourself to as much salad as many times as you wish, it's certainly great food if you are on a tight budget as a large falafel (5 pieces) in pitta with salad is €4.50.

Aaron Hernandez Quizzed In Death Probe: Tough Week To Be Patriots Tight End
New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez found a way to knock oft-injured party boy and tight end teammate Rob Gronkowski off the front pages of the Boston newspapers, such as the Boston Herald home page today (pictured above).
He's being questioned in the investigation of the murder of a man who was found about a mile from Hernandez's North Attleboro, Mass. home, a town a few miles south of Gillette Stadium.
Odin Floyd, a semi-pro football player, was reportedly found dead of a bullet wound to the head, according to various reports. Floyd has a connection to Hernandez: he is dating the sister of the Patriots star's girlfriend.
And the latest breaking news Wednesday shows that things are quickly going from bad to worse for Hernandez, a University of Florida product: according to TMZ, he was sued last week for shooting a man in the face in Tootsie's Caberet, Miami strip club, on Feb. 13, just 10 days after the Super Bowl that Hernandez and his teammates failed to make.
The most recent story broke late Tuesday afternoon. Police have been at the home of the $40 million man since then.
Reports vary, some saying Hernandez has been cooperative, others uncooperative. Much more info still to unfold, of course.
We don't know yet what's happened. But no matter what, it's bad PR at the very least. It's led both Boston papers (the Globe, too) on what's a monster news day in The Hub: special Senate election that will effect the national balance of power in Washington D.C.; the Whitey Bulger trial underway; champion NBA coach Doc Rivers about to flee town; and the Bruins hosting Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals tonight.
Yet both papers lead with the Hernandez story. Can't be good.
We do know this: the Patriots pass-catching situation this upcoming season seems to get uglier each week: No Wes Welker. Likely no Gronkowski, at least at the start off the season. And, hell, depending on how this story unfolds, perhaps no Hernandez, too.

Friend, Foe, or Both? Microsoft Case Highlights 'Coopetition' with the Computer Giant in Court, the Public Gets a Look at a Trend in the Technology Industry - the Mixture of Cooperation and Competition.; NEW RULES OF CONDUCT
Paul Van Slambrouck, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Somewhere, a scriptwriter must be taking notes for a new soap opera from the raw material unfolding at the antitrust trial of Microsoft.
Or maybe "Dallas" and "Knots Landing" have already done the story: Partners are lovey dovey at one moment, carving each other up the next.
Either way, the Microsoft trial, now in its sixth week, vividly depicts how America's newest industry is not only the mother of inventions, but also of some new rules of conduct not found in other, older industries. And in that difference lies one explanation for its dizzying pace of new products and innovation. In the technology field, friend and foe are often the same. Alliances among competitors are common, and relationships can rapidly swing between extremes. "Different companies with different skills come together for a specific purpose. Meanwhile, they're ruthlessly competing on other levels," says W. Brian Arthur, an economist with the Santa Fe Institute. That's been demonstrated amply at the trial. A prime example is the relationship between Microsoft and Intel. The two so dominate their complementary technology spheres - Microsoft in operating systems and Intel in microprocessors - that they're often called Wintel. Yet despite that close alliance, which strives to keep products compatible and the personal-computer market growing, the trial has exposed a major blowup between the companies - in 1995 when Intel threatened to compete in Microsoft's software field. Intel eventually backed down. Cooperation also turned into conflict between Microsoft and Apple Computer and AOL, according to evidence at the trial. And last week, a judge ruled against Microsoft in a separate case brought by Sun Microsystems Inc. that concerned a relationship that was briefly cooperative but turned nasty. Microsoft had licensed the use of Sun's Java programming language, but Sun sued in 1997, charging that Microsoft was using the product improperly to, in effect, sabotage its potential as a longer-term threat to Microsoft. Some experts have coined the phrase "coopetition" or "coopertition" to describe this pattern of behavior among technology firms. Barry Nalebuff, a Yale business professor and co-author of the book "Co-opetition," describes the phenomenon this way: "It's cooperating to create value and then competing to divide it." That, says, Mr. Nalebuff, can be constructive when firms recognize that by cooperating they are "expanding the pie" and then competing for their portion of the expanded pie. …

It seems that after going through a heck of a lot of tires (I've ridden over 26,000 miles) that, on average, the tires become much more prone to flats.
Now, I know they wear down some so maybe that small change in thickness could be a factor, but I wonder if other things are in play. Mainly, I wonder if, once you get a flat, that whatever the puncture was caused by has also damaged the tire in some way so that the next tube get a flat from rubbing on these less than perfect places in the tire.
Likewise, maybe those little cuts you accumulate in a tire does the same thing in some cases.
Those are the only reasons I can think of for increasing flats over time.

Java certifications are the key to get success in life, Java certified professionals are the most wanted persons in job market because companies think that they have more practical knowledge than the other peoples. So the important think is, don't prepare your exam with dumps. If you go with dumps then only you study the dump questions and omit the concepts, so at the preparation time itself start to prepare with good study materials.
Based on the technology level, Oracle separates the concepts into many certifications like, web services, web components, JPA, EJB, JSF and etc. Each technology have the different certification exams, so you can easily cover the topics and learn quickly.
Confidence, Hard Work and Practice is the success key, so keep follow these three things to get success.

Academic journal article Journal of Applied Management and Entrepreneurship
Bottom Line Competitive Intelligence
Article excerpt
Bottom Line Competitive Intelligence John J. McGonagle and Carolyn M. Vella Quorum Books (2002) 230 pages, hardcover, $59.95
Reviewed by: Sue S. Stalcup, ManagersAdvantage.com
Competitive Intelligence (CI) uses publicly available data and transforms it through analysis into information useful to improve performance. The premise of Bottom Line Competitive Intelligence is that, although most organizations understand the value of CI, they do not know the most effective methods for gathering the correct data. The book focuses on helping the reader understand the broad differences in available intelligence. Once the reader understands those concepts, he or she will be better able to choose the appropriate measures (or metrics) that should apply to then- own intelligence operations.
The authors divide CI into two types: active and defensive. The authors posit that there are four types of active CI that an organization might choose to access or focus on: 1. strategy-oriented, 2. target-oriented, 3. tactics-oriented, and 4. technology-oriented. Although each of these divisions has elements in common, each also has significant differences from the others. Because of the differences, it is critical to understand which types of CI are needed by a particular business at any specific point in time, hi support of mat, the authors have developed a method, indirectly based on the concepts included in Michael Porter's classic forces model, to help CI professionals determine which types of CI are needed for their organization in a particular situation. The authors divide the book into three parts as follows: Part I Overview, Part II Active Competitive Intelligence, and Part III Defensive Competitive Intelligence and provide useful chapters in Parts II and III that help the reader choose the right measurements for Active and Defensive CI.
Seven (7) on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 requires intense concentration. Parts of the book are skimable. However, other parts require some focused concentration in order to understand the nuances being discussed.
Although the authors do not see the book as a basic primer on CI, preexisting knowledge is not necessary in order to read and understand the concepts being presented. …

|Cleaner production among multinational corporations in Southeast Asia
|Nguyen, Nguyen Phan Duy
|Cleaner Production (CP) represents the change from a conventional end-of-pipe treatment attitude to a proactive approach to pollution prevention and increased production efficiency. CP has been successfully implemented in developing countries, including the countries of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN is becoming an economic development center in Asia, attracting a large amount of foreign direct investments from multinational corporations during the last two decades. However, success in economic development has been accompanied by environmental problems. Understanding the level of CP practices among ASEAN's multinational corporations (MNCs) and National Cleaner Production Centers/Cleaner Production (NCPCs/CP) organizations is important to their development and for the environmental protection strategy of the region. This graduate thesis is developed with the aim of determining (1) MNCs' effectiveness in adopting and implementing CP practices within the ASEAN region, (2) the interaction of regional CP centers with MNCs, and (3) knowledge gained through MNCs' CP practices and information dissemination among local industries. Four surveys were developed to collect information from: MNCs operating within the ASEAN region; NCPCs/CP organizations; United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) /United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO); and Stakeholders (in the U.S. and Southeast Asia). Findings of the thesis include: 1. With its worldwide influence on CP practices, UNEP and UNIDO obtain success in promoting CP practices in ASEAN and other developing countries through the NCPC and CP programs. Nevertheless, limited funding and obstacles associated with the host political, economic, and cultural characteristics present major challenges of the initiative. 2. The NCPCs/CP organizations' priorities are more focused on local industries than MNCs. They face funding obstacles, are obligated to improve and expand their activities to gain more credibility among industries, strive for legislative support from the governments in order to ensure an effective operation, and seek to be financially independent as consulting firms without external funding. 3. The interaction between MNCs and NCPCs/CP organizations in the region is limited even though NCPCs/CP organizations play a key role in promoting and developing CP in their countries as well as the region. 4. The lack of communication among MNCs and their stakeholders results in skeptical attitudes about whether MNCs carry out effective CP practices. However, some of the MNCs are implementing CP practices as part of their corporations' environmental policy. 5. Governments play a key role in successful CP adoption and implementation in the region. Incentives based on governments' development strategy and market needs could drive public awareness and the institutionalization of CP not only in MNCs but also in local industries and other sectors of the society. The thesis results address the initial goals of understanding MNCs' effectiveness in adopting and implementing CP practices within the ASEAN region and MNC interactions with regional CP centers. However, the responses were not sufficient to provide knowledge about MNCs' CP practices and information dissemination with local industries.

Stonington - Officials and parents from the Stonington Seals youth lacrosse program are criticizing plans by the town to charge their players and those on other youth teams to use the town's athletic fields, some of which have recently been renovated at a cost of $2.8 million.
Deborah Dempsey, the president of the 200-player lacrosse league, said none of the youth lacrosse programs it competes against in surrounding towns are charged fees by their towns to use fields. She said parents are also upset about the fees after having supported the taxpayer-funded $2.8 million project to fix the grass fields at the high school and install artificial turf on the football field, which can also be used for lacrosse, soccer and field hockey.
She said her organization also has concerns about how much access youth teams will now have to the fields and if outside groups will be given scheduling preference especially if they are paying high fees.
The Seals, which use fields at Mystic and Pawcatuck middle schools and the high school, have almost completed their registration for the upcoming spring season. This means if the fee was implemented for the spring, the Seals would have to charge players who have already paid an additional amount of money. Dempsey added there has also been discussion by the town of an hourly fee to use the fields.
Seals members are expected to attend today's Recreation Commission meeting at 6 p.m. at the Human Services Building where the commission is slated to discuss the fee and possibly make a recommendation to the Athletic Fields Improvements Oversight Committee to implement it.
Commission Chairman C. Michael Crowley said Sunday that before work even began on the fields, the commission has talked to the Board of Finance about starting to charge fees to help offset some of the town's $136,000 annual cost to maintain the fields as well as the $400,000 it will cost in an estimated 10 to 12 years to replace the artificial turf.
He said the per player fees, which could range from $10 and $20 a season, would only cover a small percentage of the maintenance costs.
"Were just trying to recoup some of the money from the people who use the fields," he said, likening it to the town's pay-per-bag garbage disposal plan.
"It's not intended to hurt anyone here," he said.
But Dempsey said the town should have figured in the maintenance costs into the total project cost.
Crowley pledged that the commission will listen to the Seals concerns and be fair. He disputed their contention that other towns don't charge fees for youth teams and said both the Stonington Soccer Club and Stonington Youth Football have not complained about the fee.

Here's the prompt:Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. What would you want your future roommate to know about you? Tell us something about you that will help your future roommate -- and us -- know you better. (250 words minimum)And here's my essay:Dear Future Roommate,It's common knowledge that every dorm room contains a normal roommate and a weird roommate, and if you don't have a weird roommate, then you are the weird roommate. However, you'll have nothing to worry about, because I will probably be the weird roommate.I'll seem perfectly normal at first; I'll be shy, friendly, and I'll smile a lot. Don't worry; the shyness will disappear shortly after we meet. When this happens, I'll still be friendly and smile a lot, but please don't be alarmed when I pull out a ukulele and start to sing, "All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon as we're poisoning pigeons in the park." I don't really want to murder innocent pigeons, and I do sing normal songs, too (although most of them tend to be just as quirky as Tom Lehrer's "Pigeons In The Park"). And don't be alarmed when I start to come up with terrible puns about 185 random objects walking into bars. Some of my jokes aren't so terrible, and thinking of jokes is thoroughly entertaining. My closet is in rainbow order, I like to point out Mini Coopers when I see them, and I love to crunch numbers in a world where math is the runt of the academic subject litter.I like to think I'm normal in some ways, though. While the ukulele and jokes are important, my family and friends transcend everything else in my life. When I can, I like to snowboard and play soccer. I thoroughly enjoy art and music, as well as the occasional rock concert. I think that's enough for us to become good friends, Future Roommate.Hope to see you soon!Best wishes,Rachel

About the hotel
Set in beautiful Herefordshire countryside yet only minutes from Hereford City centre, The Steppes Bed & Breakfast offers stylish accommodation with a hint of country. A taste of ancient English history at its best, yet with the luxury you would expect from a top rate bed and breakfast establishment. An historical building in its own right, The Steppes is said to date back to the 16th Century when Henry VIII was King of England and England was torn by the Restoration.
Although we are located in the heart of some very pretty Herefordshire countryside, we have adapted our facilities to enable everyone to enjoy the location. There are four delightful ensuite rooms, contained within an extension and annexe to the house, offering the highest standards of comfort. Full accessability is provided to three rooms and there is a flight of stairs to the fourth. As mentioned above, The Steppes dates back to 1530, and today is a happy home for Lin and Martin. Lin is a keen advocate for self-sufficiency and as such has a large vegetable plot stocked with supplies for the year, plus chickens, sheep and bees. If the bees have been busy this year, there will be honey available for sale – just ask Lin for details. Breakfast eggs are supplied courtesy of Lin's chickens and all ingredients are sourced from local Hereford suppliers where possible. Each room has been lavishly furnished with the latest designs and equipped with crisp white bed linen and fluffy white towels, free WiFi, Freeview colour TVs, tea and coffee making facilities and fridge. Large windows look out to the gardens and pond, offering pleasant views at any time of the year. We have one king suite with lounge area, two king en suite rooms, and one twin room. Walkers and cyclists are welcome. Lin and Martin, your hosts, are both keen to bring you an experience you will want to repeat, whether you are on holiday or on a business trip. They will assist with local knowledge

A lovely, very quaint location bearing the hallmarks of Tudor England.
The contemporary accommodation comprises three separate ensuite rooms adjoined to the main house and separate accommodation incorporated into a large carport. The quality of the accommodation was excellent, immaculate, clean, tastefully decorated, cosy, light, airy and warm, offering all the finishing touches. A great deal of thought had gone into the comfort and needs of a guest(s) - a variety of teas/coffees/hot chocolate/biscuits - milk/bottled water in the fridge - pieces of homemade cake to make one feel welcome. Martin and Lin had also prepared a folder with very helpful information about the local area and amenities, this proved very helpful in ascertaining a good place to have an evening meal - excellent food at their local pub just 10 minutes walk away - take a torch if you're coming back in the dark - its a country lane. Breakfast was wonderful - the variety, quality and healthiness was exceptional, much home produced and home cooked or baked - all beautifully presented by two professional and friendly hosts who deserve all due credit.

A bright day for evoluationary science
If you've been to google today you might have noticed quite an odd logo today.
A secret that has been undergoing rigorous tests for 2 years, has finally come to light. A fossil, named "Ida", is being referred to by many scientists as the missing link, although this isn't necessarily to majority consensus. Unfortunately this is being used by the internet public as more fuel against creationists (not saying this is a bad thing, just that it is pointless), it is more important to note that this is quite a find in terms of science.
I suggest you read at least one of these links, because they feature the picture of the fossil and it's information that will be featured in biology books for a very long time.
"MISSING LINK" FOUND: New Fossil Links Humans, Lemurs?
Missing link found? Scientists unveil fossil of 47 million-year-old primate, Darwinius masillae
BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Scientists hail stunning fossil
Keep in mind, there is quite a bit of hype following this fossil, and if you want a less sensationalist view of the situation, here's a good link: Darwinius: It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens, and it finds that slipper that's been at large under the chaise lounge for several weeks… | The Loom | Discover Magazine
Have a good one.
Don't argue with creationists. EVER. You will not win, you will just go insane and end up believing what they tell you.
i really must strenuously disagree with you here. so many times i have had bible bashers stop me in the street or knock on my front door. perhaps they are taken aback when i invite their conversation, as opposed to introduce their face to the door?
i am open minded enough to know that somethings we do not know. i indulge in probability in order to find that evolutionary answers to be more compelling than the theological... but that is not to say i presume that no sandle wearer would never make sense.
and of course the more empassioned their rebuttal of your calm and rational POV is, the more indicative it is of your undermining their beliefs. afterall, as many of us can appreciate, religious followers are usually created thru familial pressure enforcing habituation.
do not preach; just explain why you do not agree. we know that there is an inherent selfishness in us all and even the most devout will one day want pay back. circumstance might just conspire to test their faith before death and at that point, our 'evil' non-believing words might 'set them free'?
or maybe it will have the opposite effect. but either way they benefit, as will you! so try. spread the good word. :thumbsup:
incidentally.... every time a religious nutter has cornered me for an 'enlightening chat' it is they who make the excuses to be on their way! how rude!:D

CHICAGO -- When the Chicago Blackhawks announced the signing of veteran forward Ryan Johnson on Friday, it seemed like a precursor to Hawks rookie forward Jeremy Morin joining Team USA for the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship later this month in Buffalo.
Training camp for the U.S. team started Friday in Troy, Rochester and Amherst, N.Y., but Morin wasn't there. He was in Rockford, Ill., with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said no final decision has been made about whether Morin will be allowed to help the U.S. try to defend the WJC gold medal he helped Team USA win last January in Saskatoon.
"Not yet," he said. "That's still out there."
Hawks forward Jack Skille said it's a great position for Morin no matter what happens.
"If he's going to World Juniors, that's awesome. It will give him a chance to play for his country," said Skille, who played for the U.S. at the 2006 and 2007 World Juniors. "He's going to have fun and enjoy it. I'm sure he's going to do well, playing against those guys that maybe weren't playing at the level he's been playing at this year. It should be a good experience for him. I'm an American, so I'm hoping the USA pulls out the gold again."
In nine games with Chicago this season, Morin has 2 goals, 3 points and a plus-2 rating.

Resolved questions
Anyone Know where i can Download Language Pack IMES for Windows XP??
I'm trying to type in Korean or Japanese, or any other eastern asian language, but unfortunately i don't have Windows XP CD to install the languages. I tired other sites to download the language pack, but for some reason it says my windows XP is not "genuine" or something, all i know is that downloading it from the Microsoft office doesn't work. I also tried everything to change it through control panel, then clicking languages and downloading the eastern Asian languages, but it says i need the CD, and i also even input different languages in the advanced tab.... Anyone have any idea if i could still be able to type in Korean or jap or chinese without having the Windows XP CD?

Unfortunately, you need a windows install CD to install Korean language pack. It doesn't have to be language cd or any different kind of cd, the cd is just okay what you used when you install your computer. well of course you can download language pack via Microsoft office website, but it's allowed only for people who're using legal copy of product. other way? sorry, I think you should borrow the windows cd from your friends. :)

Ukranian Revolution Uncovers Massive Car Collection at Yanukovych Estate
It was a tough weekend for Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Anti-government protestors essentially deposed the president, issuing a warrant for his arrest. And Ukrainians got a close look at Yanukovych's estate, an opulent shrine to gluttony and consumerism, filled with golden toilets (allegedly), a full-sized Spanish Galleon and a huge collection of exotic automobiles.
Opposition leaders stormed Yanukovych's residence, opening the lavish Swiss Chalet-style property to the public, and publicizing the president's riches via social media. Photos from the Mezhyhirya village estate reveal an existence Kiev residents couldn't have dreamed of.
Yanukovych's personal garage is a veritable Who's Who of automotive luminaries, with a collection that includes the rarest, most exclusive cars from Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and Range Rover.
Eastern Bloc limousines also make up a good contingent in Yanukovych's garage, along with a strong collection of motorcycles.
Yanukovych also had a Conquest Knight XV, a one-of-a-kind, V10, 6.8-liter, Bio-fuel powered SUV "inspired by military vehicle designs and features security appointments that are unrivaled in today's SUV marketplace."
PHOTOS: See More of the 2010 Conquest Knight XV
Only 100 Knight XVs were built, and at least one of them is here.
There's also an International pickup, a vehicle that is essentially a truck bed thrown on the back of on of International's 20-ton trucks.

Football stars coming to Grand Isle for fishing rodeo
Published: Thursday, May 15, 2014 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 15, 2014 at 8:32 a.m.
For fishing gurus and football fanatics like Buggie Vegas, the Stan Brock Black-and-Gold Classic set for this weekend in Grand Isle provides an unique opportunity.
Brock, a former New Orleans Saints offensive tackle, is hosting the two-day classic on Friday and Saturday at Bridge Side Marina. It will benefit the Green Beret and Navy Seal Foundations, and it will give participants a chance to meet, mingle and compete in a fishing and quail-shooting competition against several current and former NFL players.
Football players expected to attend including former NFL players Dalton Hilliard, Hokie Gajan, Bobby Hebert, Derland Moore, Dan Pastorini, Morten Andersen and more.
Vegas, owner of Bridge Side Marina, said he enjoys hosting the Black and Gold Classic, which is in its fourth-year.
"It's very exciting," Vegas said. "The guys are starting to show up. I'm looking forward to all the football stories they've got. It's for a good cause. It's just great to see all those guys get together and have fun and raise some money for the foundation they've been doing. You can sit there and talk football and fish."
The classic will begin with a sporting clays crazy quail target shoot for sponsors only from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday. A dinner, auction and entertainment provided by Scotty Emerick will be held from 5-10 p.m. Friday.
The fishing rodeo, which is open to the public, will be held from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The crazy quail target shoot, which will also be open to the public, will last from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Individuals can participate in Saturday's fishing rodeo for $25 and quail clay shoot for $20 per round.
The weigh stations at Bridge Side Marina close at 2 p.m. Saturday, and a concert featuring Category 6 will start at 6 p.m.
Vegas said he expects a lot of fish — along with laughs and good times — to be brought to the scales all weekend.
"It looks like they have really stepped it up a little, and it will be better than ever," Vegas said. "They are all committed to raising some more money for their foundations. It's all part of the camaraderie. Everybody is getting together to do a little community service."
For information on the event visit www.blackandgoldclassic.com.
Average fishing.
With the fishing classic set for this week, Vegas said he is keeping his fingers crossed for good weather.
He said the fishing has been slow this week due to strong winds and rough seas.
"Offshore fishing has been rough," Vegas said. "No one is going out. The fish are there, but it's been bad the last couple of days. We've got this big cold front coming through (Wednesday), so it might be bad for a few days, but this weekend should be alright."
Best spots: Caminada Bay, Palmetto Bayou, Fisherman's Bay and area passes and marshes.
Best baits: Live minnows and VuDu Shrimp.
Poor fishing.
After months of success, Bill Lake of Bayou Guide Service said the fishing in this area is slow, mostly due to weather conditions from cold fronts moving through the area this week.
Lake said if anglers want to catch fish this weekend, they will have to find clean water and calm winds near the coast.
"The fishing hasn't been good at all," Lake said. "We haven't been able to get out at all. The weather has been to bad. The fronts have been too strong, and it's too windy. The fishing has been really poor out of Bayou Dularge this week. All of the fish right now are off the coast."
Best spots: Lake Mechant, Turtle Bayou, Pelican Pass and Bay Round.
Best baits: LSU Bayou Chubs, VuDu shrimp and VuDu mullets.
Good fishing.
Tommy Dupre of TYD's in Leeville said the redfish action is hot in this area, but the specked trout is still slow.
Dupre said the fish around the islands and marshes are not as big or plentiful, but they are catching them. He also reported that speckled drum and flounder are being caught.
"The redfish has been very good," Dupre said. "They are everywhere. Speckled trout has been very spotty. Speckled trout has kind of been late because of this crazy weather. I think this morning, they are talking about temperatures in the 50s, but it looks like we are going to have a nice weekend."
Best spots: Calumet Island and West Timbalier.
Best baits: Live croakers and minnows and artificial baits.
Good fishing.
Reports say anglers are still catching bream and google-eye in this area. Bass and sac-a-lait are being caught, but not as much.
Best spots: Bluebird Canal and Bayou Copasaw.
Best bait: A tube jig with piece of worm under a cork.

I shoot mostly B&W.
Unless it is a very difficult lighting situation like backlit or really confusing mixed lighting condition, I don't feel the need to bracket. B&W film is flexible enough to deal with this.
If I think a multiple good composition exists, then I take multiple shots from varying angles but I don't call that bracketing. I'll shoot shots until I'm satisfied I've covered enough. I'm not good enough to take one shot and let that be the best shot I can take - composition wise, that is. Also... I had several occasions where a frame was damaged during handling and I have to use another frame. Having similar or the same image on a roll helps as an insurance.

In The Distraction Addiction I talk about the concept of "nomophobia," the fear of being without your cellphone ("No" "Mobile phone" "Phobia") coined by British researchers in 2008. Recently, New York Magazine's Melissa Dahl reported on a new Iowa State survey for measuring levels of nomophobia, a 20-question questionaire that asks questions like "I would feel uncomfortable without constant access to information through my smartphone" and "I would be annoyed if I could not look information up on my smartphone when I wanted to do so."
The source article, "Exploring the dimensions of nomophobia: Development and validation of a self-reported questionnaire," is forthcoming in the journal Computers in Human Behavior. Here's the abstract:
Nomophobia is considered a modern age phobia introduced to our lives as a byproduct of the interaction between people and mobile information and communication technologies, especially smartphones. This study sought to contribute to the nomophobia research literature by identifying and describing the dimensions of nomophobia and developing a questionnaire to measure nomophobia. Consequently, this study adopted a two-phase, exploratory sequential mixed methods design. The first phase was a qualitative exploration of nomophobia through semi-structured interviews conducted with nine undergraduate students at a large Midwestern university in the U.S. As a result of the first phase, four dimensions of nomophobia were identified: not being able to communicate, losing connectedness, not being able to access information and giving up convenience. The qualitative findings from this initial exploration were then developed into a 20-item nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q). In the second phase, the NMP-Q was validated with a sample of 301 undergraduate students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a four-factor structure for the NMP-Q, corresponding to the dimensions of nomophobia. The NMP-Q was shown to produce valid and reliable scores; and thus, can be used to assess the severity of nomophobia.

Frank Gerace
Thank you, Robin. Welcome to Multi-Color Corporation's fiscal 2009 first quarter conference call and webcast for the period ending June 30, 2008. We are also broadcasting this live over the Internet accessible through the Multi-Color website at www.multicolorcorp.com on our Investor Relations page.
Good morning. I'm Frank Gerace, President and CEO of Multi-Color, and I am joined today by Dawn Bertsche, our CFO, and Jim Reynolds, our Corporate Controller. Jim, before we get started, could you please review our Safe Harbor statement with our participants?
Jim Reynolds
Before we discuss our results, I want to call your attention to the Safe Harbor statement that was displayed on the registration page you viewed right after you logged onto our webcast and remind you that in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995, this presentation may contain some forward-looking statements that involve both known and unknown risks that may affect the outcome of our results. This Safe Harbor statement is also included in our earnings release and in our filings with the SEC.
Frank Gerace
Thanks, Jim. Today's conference call will follow the same format as we have used in the past. I will begin with a brief overview of how our company performed this quarter, and then Dawn will follow up with a detailed analysis of our financial results, and then at the end of that, I will conclude with final comments, and then we will take your questions.
As stated in our earnings release, our recently acquired international label business performed very well and as expected significantly contributing to our bottom-line. Our overall performance for the quarter fell short of our expectations due to a 7% organic sales decline in our North American business. In spite of healthy sales increases from most of our top 10 customers, our largest customer continued to order lower volumes as compared to last year.
Gross margins, on the other hand, remained steady at 19% during the quarter. Margins were negatively impacted by the reduced organic sales volume in North America and continued startup costs in our new Batavia, Ohio manufacturing facility. With reference to the startup of our new facility, we continued to experience productivity inefficiencies, high waste, excess operating supplies, and expedited freight costs. Our entire – and I assure you, our entire North American management team is very focused on getting us back to historic profit margins in that facility. On a positive note, the Collotype integration is going very well. The business is performing as we expected and is providing us with the market, geographic and financial balance we desired.
To provide more details on our first quarter results, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Dawn Bertsche.
Dawn Bertsche
Thank you, Frank, and thank you all for joining us today. For those of you who are listening and viewing our webcast via the Internet, please take a look at slide number one, net revenues. For the first quarter, net revenues increased to $79.5 million or 52% over the prior year quarter. The sales increase attributable to the acquisition of Collotype was $30.7 million. And as Frank noted earlier, the increased revenue from Collotype was partially offset by the shortfall in orders from our largest customers.
Now please advance to slide number two, gross profit and margin. Gross profit also increased 52% over the prior year to $15 million due to the Collotype acquisition. However, gross profit was negatively impacted to the tune of about $850,000 of the startup costs at our new Batavia, Ohio facility that Frank previously mentioned. However, in spite of those issues, we were able to maintain a 19% gross margin for the quarter, as reflected on the slide.
The next slide is net income. This shows both net income from continuing operations and total net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008. Looking below the gross profit line we previously discussed, SG&A expenses increased $3.1 million due to the comparable expenses from Collotype, but were essentially flat as a percent of sale. Included in net income from continuing operations was a $2.1 million increase in interest expense due to the debt incurred to finance the Collotype acquisition.
In addition, our effective tax rate for the quarter was 36.4% compared to 37.4% in the prior year, due to earnings in lower tax jurisdictions. And our expected effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 is 36%. Therefore, net income from continuing operations was $2.8 million or flat over the prior year. Total net income was $2.7 million for the quarter and included $143,000 of expense from discontinued operations due to additional tax expenses resulting from the sale of Quick Pak.
