Speer Total Metal Jacket Handgun Bullets represent the highest level of evolution of the full metal jacket bullet. Uni-Cor construction bonds the jacket to the core for near perfect uniformity and eliminates the opening found on the base of other bullets. Conventional FMJ bases can also deform under pressure, which decreases accurracy. Perfect for indoor target shooting. This is not loaded ammunition.

Comments about Iowa State Cyclones NCAA Womens Fullzip Hoody:
The sweatshirt is very slim-cut - the upper arms are tight and overall, this feels almost a size too small. Nike clothing for women seem have two cuts - slim and loose. I expected a sweatshirt to be more of a loose cut, maybe. Some Nike clothing is actually labeled with the type of cut - others you just find out when you try it on...

Comments about Unknown SKU - no style set:
I was really excited to get this jacket once I ordered it but when I got it out of the package that excitement sort of diminished unfortunately... I ordered a womens small & it fits closer to an extra small. On top of that the letters are actually slightly crooked, how weird is that? Overall, I am not thrilled with my purchase especially since after shipping and taxes it was a $70 jacket & it just was not what I thought it would be.

The CEO of the Portland Press Herald says its former publisher, Richard Connor, took more than half-a-million dollars from the company between 2009 and 2011. An attorney for Connor denies the allegations, and says the expenses in question were being sorted out when the newspaper cut off discussions with Connor. Keith Shortall has more.
It's taken several independent forensic accounting reviews over nearly a year, but MaineToday Media CEO Lisa DeSisto says in a letter to employees that Richard Connor misused more than $537,000 while serving as publisher. Boston Attorney Tom Fitzpatrick represents the newspaper's parent company Maine Today Media.
He says the company has chosen not to file suit against Connor, and instead took a payout from its insurance company, Travelers Casualty & Surety Company, to cover the loss.
"Travelers has made the determination that a half million dollars of money was taken by Mr. Connor that he was not justified in taking and that it consituted employee theft under its insurance policy with Maine Today Media, and that's what employees were informed of today," Fitzpatrick says.
The company alleges that Connor misappropriated the money for his personal use during the 27 months he worked there - including $287,000 in unauthorized salary increases and bonuses, $90,000 in unauthorized personal expenses, and $22,000 in unauthorized checks for home landscaping, dental work and a vacation rental in Camden.
Fitzpatrick says Maine Today Media decided to file a claim under insurance in order to move forward, rather than take the issue to court.
"What they want to do is move on," he says. "They have employees that have supported the company through tough times and they need to keep the paper propelled forward to stay on their mission. And that was the choice and one that I certainly agree with."
An attorney represenating Richard Connor says his client did not misuse any funds while at Maine Today Media. "We flatly deny it," says Portland attorney Peter Bennett. "Everything Mr. Connor did was done above board."
Bennett says the newspaper's board had authorized the expenses, and that Connor was in the process of sorting out the accounting, when the newspaper abruptly ended contact. "When Rich was working there, there were discussions about what expenses were his and what weren't his," Bennett says. "The newspaper cut off those discussions a year and a half ago."
Bennett says once the true facts are brought to light, the allegations, which Connor feels are very unfair, will be refuted. "He feels like he's being maligned, yes."
In her letter to employees, DeSisto points out that Maine Today Media is not the only company to have financial problems with Connor. His previous employer, Wilkes-Barre Publishing LLC in Pennsylvania, filed suit against him, alleging failure to repay more than $250,000 used to pay for personal expenses, including credit cards.
Connor has blamed that legal dispute on poor accounting and insists he's working to sort it out. Travelers Insurance, meanwhile, could go after Connor to recoup the money it paid out in its claim to Maine Today Media.

Asymmetric resource consumption (amplification)
- This is an Attack. To view all attacks, please see the Attack Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 02/12/2009
An attacker can force a victim to consume more resources than should be allowed for the attacker's level of access. The program can potentially fail to release or incorrectly release a system resource. A resource is not properly cleared and made available for re-use.
Risk Factors
The following method never closes the file handle it opens. The Finalize() method for StreamReader eventually calls Close(), but there is no guarantee how long it is going to take before the Finalize() method is invoked. In fact, there is no guarantee that Finalize() will ever be invoked. In a busy environment, this can result in the VM using up all of its available file handles.
private void processFile(string fName) { StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fName); string line; while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) processLine(line); }
After using up all handles (file descriptors) the VM may become very unstable, slow, and may stop working deterministically comparing to its previous state.
Under normal conditions, the following C# code executes a database query, processes the results returned by the database, and closes the allocated SqlConnection object. But if an exception occurs while executing the SQL or processing the results, the SqlConnection object is not closed. If this happens often enough, the database runs out of available cursors and is not able to execute any more SQL queries.
C# Example:
... SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString); cmd.Connection = conn; conn.Open(); SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); HarvestResults(rdr); conn.Connection.Close(); ...
The number of concurent connections to the databases is often lower than maximum number of possible handles for the system to use. It makes easier to locate application bottlenecks and use them to stop the application or make it unstable.
If application which can handle N concurent connections doesn't implement an appropriate mechanism to disconnect clients e.g. TIMEOUTs, then it's very easy to disable it by establishing close to N connections. Additionally, the connections should simulate work with the application using its protocol untill exhaustion of the available resources.

Talk:Body Flicker Technique
Back to page
this wiki
Where does it say most ninja use this again?? --Aquabender (talk) 02:47, 24 July 2009 (UTC) huh?
Edit war
Cooltamerboy, stop adding that bit about the Body Flicker enhancing strength. If you have proof, then give it. If not, then don't add unsubstantiated information. You should know better by now. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 01:43, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- He won't have proof. He will go on an on about how he does have proof, but it will either be really flimsy or completely taken out of context.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Apparently it said that it vitalises the whole body. Which also means increased power. If not then it should be vitalise the legs? Cooltamerboy (talk) 01:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC).
I mean the original phrase vitalise the body. While it should be vitalise the legs. Cooltamerboy (talk) 01:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC).
Possibly, but what does that really have to do with enhancing strength? Actually, why should it be that it uses the legs anyway? Their isn't trustworthy proof.--NejiByakugan360 02:10, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Vitalise means strengthen so that means someone would become stronger, but since bidy flicker is only speed than it should be vitalise the legs. Cooltamerboy (talk) 03:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC).
It's not just the legs, it has never been stated as just the legs. Body Flicker, as the jutsu is called, flickers the entire body, making the person FASTER. It does NOT raise the person strengths. I will repeat it for you again: BODY FLICKER, AS THE JUTSU IS CALLED, FLICKERS THE ENTIRE BODY MAKING THE PERSON STRONGER. IT DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, INCREASES THE PERSONS STRENGTH.
And no, we will NOT be arguing semetics with you Cooltamerboy. This "debate" is over.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 03:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

- Snapper2 said it perfectly. You explain something to him once, and he will ask the same question with very slight variations for the rest of the day. Also, this was a good year ago so I don't see how this effects my judgement now.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 00:06, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Technically - sematics vitalise could mean stregthen but it also means alter or modify. The former seems all the more likely the case to make movement faster or modify movement not specifically stregthen. —This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
Why isn't this used constantly?
Why don't ninja use this technique when traveling intercontinentally so it won't take three days, like it takes when they travel from the Leaf to the Sand? It actually just hit me that they don't use it that much because in the forest, when they're going at such a high speed, they could crash against trees and all of that. Is that feasible, or is there an actual reason this isn't used regularly? Jules R. J. Blake (talk) 22:18, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
- It could be that it is only usable for short distances. It does use chakra, of course, and the longer the distance, the more chakra required. The reason you stated could also be correct.
- And hey, who knows, maybe they do use it for international travel. Maybe the trip from Konoha to Suna would have taken weeks without the Body Flicker Technique. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 01:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Since it hasn't been proved that ninja can use it whenever they want, and neither it has taht they can't, then I think putting it on the page is a bad idea.. ̃̃̃̃
Why?! No Users ?
Why haven't other ninjas been added in the user section of this jutsu ? its not true that only shisui used it --Petar93 (talk) 21:21, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Because we don't list users for basic techniques, and Shisui is only listed because he's called Shisui of the Body Flicker.--Deva 27 (talk) 21:26, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
But not everyone is stated to use this tech, are they? And it seems that if it was just a basic jutsu it 1. would have been taught at academy, or 2. more people would be using it. But other than minato, sauske, raikage and a few others it doesn't seem like a widely used jutsu, or at least one that peole use a lot. I can understand why you only added shisui, but shouldn't you add the few other people who seem to also really use this jutsu a lot, or those where it seems to fit in greatly with their fighting style? The three I mentioned being the three that come to mind when I think about it, simply because they use/used it A LOT, or it fits into their overall fighting style as opposed to even say kakashi, who rarely seems to use it in battle. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:48, November 12, 2010 (UTC)miah
- How would we measure "a lot" for the others? What I mean is, when does the list stop. And for the record Naruto has used it a bit too like against Kakazu and Kakashi while training, and Kakashi does use it a bit during training too (get the bells first and second time). GoldenTopaz (talk) 18:57, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
It seems to me that at least everyone of chunin level has a variant of this technique and many genin too. It's not one of the most basic ones, but it's, like, 90% of named ninja.ZeroSD (talk) 19:31, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
The highest ranked ninja (Sasuke, A, Minato, etc.) seem to use this the best (fastest), so is the speed determined by amount of chakra you use? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 16:45, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
- That is unknown, but not unlikely. I do think it involves skill as well, though.
- The Body Flicker vitalises the body, so the more chakra one would use, the more the body is vitalised, I'd say. Also, the better one applies the chakra used, the more efficient and better the body is vitalised. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 17:11, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
- Reasonable. Should we put that in? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:13, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
- If you can word it in a way that excludes speculation, it would only make the article better. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 17:18, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
- Reasonable. Should we put that in? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:13, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
'This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed to the point that in some cases it looks as if the user teleported.<ref name="Chapter 995">''Naruto'' chapter 395, page 09</ref> It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds, with the amount of chakra affecting how far, fast, and high the user can go. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements.'
- How is this? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:43, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Chakra to the feet= boosts of speed
- increase the amount of chakra = increased speed in movement
- puff of smoke/ink/leaves/sand = hides movement
--Cerez365 (talk) 18:57, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
So...yes? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 21:15, August 5, 2010 (UTC
- Still no answer. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 01:59, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
'a relatively large amount of chakra .'
Where did this come from. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:00, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
- get rid of it =\ --Cerez365 (talk) 02:06, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Roger, so just say it is proportional to the speed and distance? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:24, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
- I think that's alright since it is conditional might need a second though --Cerez365 (talk) 02:31, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmm...Thanks Simant for doing it first. What was that last 'second though' part though, Cerez365? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 03:55, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Namikaze Minato
I did remember the Fourth Hokage (Namikaze Minato) was infamously feared as the Konoha Yellow Flash, with Rin said back then that he has a super speed move, able to reach tens of miles in a split second, named "Shunshin no Jutsu" (Body Flicker Technique). It was displayed in the Anime at Kakashi Gaiden arc, and of course also at the Manga. How can i forgot such incredible moment, can you..? THEN WHY there is no mention of Fourth Hokage in this page..? or am i missed some line..!? --Arvell (talk) 05:15, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
- He uses Flying Thunder God Technique. ~SnapperTo 06:54, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry to disturb this section after so long but I feel something needs to be address now. Kushina's flashback clearly revealed that Minato's speed wasn't purely Flying Thunder God Technique based as seen when he caught baby Naruto. Wouldn't it be safe to say, then, that he uses a combination of this technique and Flying Thunder God Technique to fight the way he does? Alexdhamp (talk) 20:02, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
- The Body Flicker Technique is a generic technique that's learnt by every shinobi. We've seen it used by Minato at least twice but I don't see that as a reason to mention that it to fight the way he does. His fighting style was just based around speed. I suppose if it can be mentioned decently it wouldn't be a problem.--Cerez365™ 20:14, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
Image change
I think the current image could be easily confused with Jiraiya being a shadow clone dispelling himself instead of Body Flicker. What about Sasuke x Team 7 confrontation or Sasuke's "kill" of Tobi ?--Elveonora (talk) 03:41, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think it's necessary, since this is the article about the technique, there's the text to explain how it works, and since showing the duplicate is enough to show there's a clone, that's not a very good reason to change it, in my opinion. Plus, the smoke in the image serves a purpose, since in this technique, it's used to disguise one's movements. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:42, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
You are an Admin, Im just saying ... How are we sure that Jiraiya used Body Flicker and its not just Shadow Clone ??? Most of times its used without the smoke. also can you respond to my latest talkpage additions ?--Elveonora (talk) 21:56, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
- There's no point in casually using the shadow clone, Jiraiya might be powerful, but unless you're Naruto, it's pointless to use shadow clones that liberally. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:20, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
Should we list Jiraya as a user? I found it ironic that we have a picture of him preforming it but he's not listed as a user. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 23:58, November 10, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- Jiraiya is neither someone whose fighting style revolves around the technique, nor is he someone renowned for using the technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:29, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, but I guess so. I go with whatever the admins so and do. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 15:45, November 16, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- It's still kind of strange that he is using it in the picture and not listed as a user. Diamonddeath (talk) 21:01, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
Techniques that are general skill aren't being listed--Elveonora (talk) 22:30, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't Hanzo be added as user, if I'm not mistaken he uses this tech to escape Nagato's assault with the Gedo Mazo (at least in anime)--Jon Thiago (talk) 07:18, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
- Almost everyone can use this technique, we only list users who specialise with it. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 07:22, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
It says in the trivia: ".....this technique isn't teleportation, just an extremely swift movement." however the page which is referenced says that : "No it wasn't teleportation how do I know? Because teleportation is merely high speed movement" The trivia implies that space-time ninjutsu is really teleportation, can someone please fix this? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 13:45, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
- You read a bad translation. Firstly, think about it. Tobi DID teleport, which makes the translation you read of what Shino said there not make sense. What Shino said was that Tobi didn't use the Body Flicker technique., because it is simply a high-speed movement, while Tobi in actuality teleported using a Space–Time Ninjutsu. Skitts (talk) 14:57, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
Most of the translations I read stated what I said. Here: [1],[2], [3]. Can you please cite/reference the manga page. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:40, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Viz has always translated the Body Flicker Technique as teleportation, and some scanlators have also translated it as that, which is unfortunate, because it mixes up two different concepts. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:10, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't understand how is body flicker ever considered teleportation O.o? Wouldn't it have been categorised as such in the databook then? It's like mixing up teleporting with Shunpo from Bleach.--Cerez365™ 03:27, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


text: I know I know. Most everyone is going to hate this including me but we ran into some issues with the catalog this year. The issues mainly revolve around printing and mailing costs and the fact that they have been going up for a long time. We just couldn't justify the catalog this year based on those costs. We are working on a way to bring it back for 2010 but we are at least taking this year off from printing a catalog.

Facebook is soothing privacy concerns by introducing something called "Anonymous Login" that will let users access apps on the social network without having to share private information. The changes, which were announced by Mark Zuckerberg at its f8 Developer Conference today, will roll out over the next year.
Typically, when a user accesses a new app (like Farmville or Causes) they're greeted with a warning that tells them the app needs to access all of their Facebook profile information in order to use the app. In the future, users can check or uncheck boxes that specify what information will be shared with the app, be it their friend list or birthday. Basically, it gives users more control over what information they choose to share with apps.
Zuckerberg said he hopes the change negates some of the fear people have with apps. "We know some people are scared of pressing this blue button [for login]," Zuckerberg said. "If you're using an app that you don't completely trust... then you don't want to give it a lot of permissions." Jordan Valinsky
Actor Will Ferrell has reportedly nixed plans to play Ronald Reagan in a comedy about the late president's dementia, just days after it was announced he had signed on to star. Ferrell's spokesperson now says he was never officially attached to the project. "While it is by no means an 'Alzheimers comedy,' as has been suggested, Mr. Ferrell is not pursuing this project," his spokesperson said.
Shortly after news of the film broke, Reagan's daughter Patti Davis penned an open letter expressing her disappointment. "Perhaps if you knew more," Davis wrote, "you would not find the subject humorous." Becca Stanek
A lot can change in eight years — as Carly Fiorina knows. While the former Hewlett-Packcard CEO is now Ted Cruz's vice presidential candidate, Fiorina actually sung Hillary Clinton's praises back in 2008. While on the campaign trail for Republican presidential nominee John McCain, Fiorina described Clinton as "incredibly intelligent, focused, tough, determined."
"As a woman, I take great pride in the fact that Hillary Clinton ran for president," Fiorina said.
Fiorina added that "bold women, women in power are characterized, scrutinized differently than their male counterparts are." Fiorina has since joined the chorus of conservative voices who have accused Clinton of "playing the woman card," saying that "Hillary Clinton, first of all, calls everybody a sexist and that's not a fair game."
A representative for Fiorina clarified to CNN that the vice presidential candidate "thinks Hillary Clinton is smart and hardworking, but she also believes she is profoundly misguided on the important issues facing this country."

The White House decided to mix things up at its daily press briefing Friday by having a fictional character step into Press Secretary Josh Earnest's role. Yes, seriously.
Allison Janney, who played the whip-smart press secretary C.J. Cregg on The West Wing, took over the podium while Earnest was supposedly out of commission for a root canal.
"But let's be honest," Janney said, "I'm better at this anyway."

Your friend is getting married. Hooray! Now pay up.
On average, millennials spend nearly $900 for every wedding they attend as a guest, according to numbers crunched by American Express this week. In comparison, the average American wedding guest spends 27 percent less, around $703 per wedding. That number accounts for an average of $205 spent on airfare, $166 on attire, and $69 on child or pet care.
Millennials, though, break the bank by spending on average $893 per wedding or, if they're a part of the wedding party, $928. Wedding gifts don't come cheap, either. When purchasing gifts for family members, Americans spend an average of $127, or $99 on friends.
Better start saving up — wedding season hits its peak in June. Jeva Lange
The Pentagon announced Friday that it has punished 16 American military personnel, including a two-star general, for the deadly strike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan last year that killed 42. Because the Pentagon determined the attack was not intentional, but rather the fault of human error, fatigue, and technical errors, those punished will not face criminal charges. Instead, the punishments will be "administrative actions" only, including suspension, removal from command, and letters of reprimand.
The attack occurred after crew members reportedly mistook the hospital for a Taliban-controlled building about a quarter of a mile away. Becca Stanek
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Republican presidential race during a Friday appearance on a conservative talk radio show. "I'm not against anyone, but I will be voting for Ted Cruz," Pence said, though he first went out of his way to commend Donald Trump for giving a voice to "the frustration of millions of Americans."
Pence's endorsement comes just four days ahead of Indiana's Tuesday primary, which is critical for Cruz to win if he wants to prevent frontrunner Donald Trump from locking up the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination. Becca Stanek
With her sights set on the general election, Hillary Clinton sent out a series of Snapchat attacks on Donald Trump on Thursday, using the app's face-swap feature to overlay Trump's orange visage with the features of presidents past.

— Emma Grundhauser (@emgrundy) April 29, 2016
As Politico explains — and it seems like some explanation might be needed, given the nature of Clinton's references and the age of the average Snapchat user — each one pairs a relevant president with a comment or policy of Trump's which Clinton wanted to critique. These combos range from the obvious (Lincoln plus Trump's KKK gaffe) to the more obscure (the first President Bush, who signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, plus Trump's mocking of a disabled reporter).

I think the "so and so is a bust" one year after being drafted is utterly premature (I'm thinking in particular of Brace and Chung). For sure there will be busts, but in the Patriots' complex system, and in particular at very cognitively demanding positions (DB, DL, WR), it will just take time for young players to pick up the scheme. The two-gap, 3-4 Parcells/Belichick defense is a read and react defense for lineman, and is a significant change to the 4-3 gap penetration scheme Brace played in at BC. I'm not super knowledgeable on the 4-2 defense that Oregon runs, but I'm sure in my bones that the SS position in Belichick's defense is more cognitively demanding than anything in the college system.
Middle linebacker is the easiest position in football to project: people like Jon Beason, Patrick Willis, Demeco Ryans, etc. all step in and make an immediate impact, and so often win Rookie of the Year, because they are asked to replicate the instinctive football play they've been doing. They certainly learn new things, but they don't have the same learning curve of say, a 3-4 two gaper asked to change what he does—1 gap 4-3 lineman is a similar projection to middle LB, where you keep doing basically the same thing: be accountable for one lane and penetrate.
Keep in mind these kids are young, in or just ending adolescence as rookies, and as such are still growing and changing mentally. There's a significant body of cognitive psychology research that shows how even into late adolescence, our executive function improves and grows. The executive function controls "selective attention, decision-making and response inhibition skills, along with the ability to carry out multiple tasks at once" (Blakemore & Choudhury, 2006). Do you think as a Pats' SS or a 3-4 NT you have to develop "selective attention, decision-making and response inhibition skills, along with the ability to carry out multiple tasks at once?"
I see this all the time in my students at Carnegie Mellon University. As a whole, these are some of the smartest and most privileged young people in the world—they're all smart. But my seniors and Masters students are much more able to pick up and demonstrate competency in complex cognitive tasks: the group from 22-26 demonstrates really different cognitive ability than the 18-21 group. I think this carries over to our rookies—I'm not surprised it might take someone like Chung or Brace a while in the system, but also time to have their brain/cognition mature, before they can handle it.
They're not busts yet.

The museums current exhibition, Outsider Visions: Self-taught Southern Artists of the 20th Century, offers visitors a chance to observe a truly unique strain of American art. As Outsider art, the works on display reflect the visions of artists who worked and continue to work without formal training in the fine arts. Unencumbered by the constraints of tradition, their art represents a striving for a pure and deeply personal aesthetic. Even without a structured education, the works included in Outsider Visions reflect a wide range of subject matter, from contemplations on spirituality to austere studies of daily life.
Outsider Visions has proven to be a particularly timely exhibition, considering the precarious state of the American Folk Art Museums collection of non-canonical art produced in folk and Outsider traditions. A recent September 20 article in the New York Times detailed the unfortunate decline of the New York City based Museum, whose collection houses an encyclopedic array of Outsider and folk art masterpieces. Article author, Roberta Smith lamented the possible loss of the Museum. She writes:
The Folk Art Museums erasure from New Yorks cultural skyline would be a tremendous loss, for the city in general and for its role as a center of both art viewing and art making. A full-blooded expression of centurys worth of instinctive, self-taught artistry is crucial
In a final effort to keep its collection intact, the Museums Board of Trustees and its staff have announced an audacious plan to ensure the Museums operation for the next three fiscal years in its original home at Two Lincoln Square in Manhattan. Long-term survival of this cultural center will require attracting a broader public to visit the Museum and advocate for folk and Outsider art.
With Outsider Visions the Boca Raton Museum of Art hopes to advance the legitimacy and intrinsic value of Outsider art. Selecting works from the renowned collection of Ann and Ted Oliver, the curatorial team has crafted a show that offers viewers a chance to experience the immediacy of expression employed by these artists. Assistant Curator Kelli Bodle writes in the accompanying exhibition brochure, Outsider art is a welcome reprieve full of earnest creation free from pretension.
The value of Outsider Art and of collections like the Olivers or the American Folk Art Museums lie not in their celebrity or courtship with mainstream taste, but in their celebration of creativity for creativitys sake, a value any observer can appreciate.

Client: Scottish FA
Agency: TNS
WINNER In the absence of any previous consumer-based research, the Scottish Football Association identified the need for the collection and analysis of information and primary data. This covered three key areas: the role of the SFA; the marketing and exploitation of key SFA events; and the marketing and exploitation of the Scottish international football team.
In the first instance, consumer research was required to establish whether the SFA owned or had primary responsibility for a brand that was recognised by the consumer.
The research identified the Scottish Cup and the Scotland team as the two primary brands under its banner.
Armed with the results, the SFA set a number of key targets for the international brand and the results show that the subsequent marketing activity has had a significant degree of success.
A 52% increase against the target for attendance at the Euro 2004 qualifying matches was achieved, as well as a 30% rise against target for the sale of Scotland replica shirts. The number of Scottish adults that were 'very proud' of the team also rose from 21% to 26%.
Additionally, after 18 months Safeway had achieved an awareness level of 53% as main sponsor of the international team compared with a high of 27% for the previous sponsors Scottish Gas.

3rd Congressional District
Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District is one of the most affluent in the state, encompassing the suburbs of Hennepin County to the north, west, and south of Minneapolis. With blue-collar Brooklyn Park to the north, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and high-income Plymouth and Wayzata to the west, it features a mixed characteristic. It may lean Republican, but it tends to lean moderate Republican. Republican Erik Paulsen won election to the district in 2008, following longtime moderate incumbent Jim Ramstad. Paulsen won despite the fact that Democrat Barack Obama outpolled John McCain by nearly 25,000 votes in the district in the 2008 presidential election.

You have to put your self in the shoes of a business that is in business to turn a profit of some sort. All businesses have different overhead which in turn decides what their bottom line would be on their services. I personally would not go with an unlicensed professional for this type of install. You are messing with gas, venting issues, electrical wiring{electric water heater} and updated code issues such as a drain pan and tempature and relief drain lines for heaters that currently do not have them. I do agree that there are some companies that are way out of line for their installs but most of these companies are the really big companies that have very high overheads I would assume. Tank type water heaters have changed over the last several years and with these safety changes come bigger prices. The price of steel thanks to China is skyrocketing and tank type water heaters are made of steel. Most wholesale plumbing supply companies cannot match what the big box stores are selling at retail to consumers. I happen to think from research that heaters such as Rheem, Bradford White and AOSmith who have been in business forever make a better product than what you can buy in the big box outlets. You also have to take in consideration the location of the water heater that is being replaced. Is it in the house, basement, garage or attic. Most 40 and 50 gallon water heaters that are purchased in a plumbing wholesale store in Texas cost between 300-340 for a 6 year warranty heater with 6 year on parts and tank. Speaking of warranty. Most big box companies will take a least 24 hours to a week to get your warranty problem taken care of. Most reputable plumbing companies will give same day service if they installed the heater.
So lets break down a typical install at cost to a licensed plumber in Texas
Heater: $315, water shut off $6.50, water flex lines or unions to code $20, gas flex line and cut off to code $12, misc fittings $15, Total $368.50 Lets add a 35% profit which is some what low for a business $129, Total 497.50
This doesnt include permits, pan and drain or any venting issues. The vent must go from the heater to the outside of roof using double wall vent.
Cost of permit on average $60
Most plumbing companies allow for 3 hours of time for a water heater. This includes picking the new one up. Delivering out to house. Draining and removing old water heater. Hauling off old heater. Installing new heater up to code. Going down to city and pulling permit.
Average Labor charges for heater installs $400
That would make this install run without extras on any code issues $957.50
I just had a 50 gallon gas water heater installed in my house for $1200 but I needed a pan installed. I used a licensed plumber.
I've seen and heard mixed reviews. They aren't really popular here due to our super hard water which clogs and rots everything it sits in. A company I used to work for tried electric units about 10 years ago in several homes but had to replace many of them within a few years because the build-up from the hard water hindered their productivity to little more than enough supply to run a sink. I've heard better success with gas units since there are no electric elements to burn out and gas can get hotter, faster to get through the deposits on the tubing walls inside the unit.
Standard electric water heater usually take a 30 amp circuit so they are often wired with 10 guage wire. Electric on-demand units large enough to service an entire house usually take 50 amps (or more) from what I've researched in the past. That means they need a 50 amp breaker and will be wired with 6 guage wire. By the time you factor in the initial cost of buying the much more expensive on-demand unit and rewiring for it I'm not sure you'll save money in the long run.
A better and cheaper option would be to put a timer on your standard water heater so it only kicks on during typical demand times. They have override switches so you can turn it to cycle normally when you are off of work or need it during the day/night if not during the preset times. A cheaper point of use water heater at the kitchen sink will ensure you have hot water there even when the main heater is off. This is usually the point that requires hot water the most frequently. Remember that your water heater will hold hot water for over an hour once it has cycled off. Take advantage of that.

Depends a lot on your configuration - he may have been including direct outside venting because your existing heater/furnace duct was not large enough to handle the added load, and may have figured running larger piping to the jetted tub and maybe upsizing the valve and flex tubing at the gas line. This all assumes you have adequate access and installation space for the larger tank - they tend to be fatter rather than much taller.
I would talk to several plumbers - if you get quotes from 3 or more, it should become obvious right off if one is high-balling you. Of course, do not tell the others what the other's bids were.
The water heater itself will cost about $1000-2000 for that size - about double a 50 gallon, which usually costs about $800-1500 installed (replacing an existing plumbed-in one). The larger heater may take a bit of beefing up of the support platform for the added weight, but assuming you have adequate headroom, installation cost using existing ductwork and piping would not be any more than for a 50 gallon, so say $2000-3500 range installed. The $4500-6000 definitely sounds high if it assumed using existing hookups.

General Discussion
Alport syndrome is a group of hereditary disorders characterized by progressive deterioration of parts of the kidney known as basement membranes. This deterioration may lead to chronic kidney (renal) disease. Eventually, severe renal failure (end-stage renal disease or ESRD) may develop. Some types of Alport syndrome may also affect vision and hearing. Most cases of Alport syndrome have an X-linked pattern of inheritance.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The best way for Tom O'Brien to steer his North Carolina State team to a better bowl is by continuing to make things tough for an embattled friend.
The Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) can climb a spot on the league's postseason pecking order Saturday if they can take care of last-place Boston College.
N.C. State enters the weekend as one of five bowl-eligible teams in the ACC, joining Georgia Tech and Duke at the six-win mark.
O'Brien says it's a chance for the Wolfpack to separate themselves from that pack of teams.
They seem to have a manageable path: BC (2-9, 1-6) has the worst record in the league.

Pengrowth Energy Corp Stock Upgraded (PGH)
TheStreet) -- Pengrowth Energy (NYSE: PGH) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, revenue growth, expanding profit margins, growth in earnings per share and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 1544.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$6.13 million to $88.54 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 33.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 29.7%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP is currently very high, coming in at 72.00%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 24.50% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. During the past fiscal year, PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.78 versus $0.31 in the prior year.
- Net operating cash flow has remained constant at $161.57 million with no significant change when compared to the same quarter last year. This quarter, PENGROWTH ENERGY CORP's cash flow growth rate has remained relatively unchanged and is slightly below the industry average.

- —This uncle at Bill and Fleur's wedding.[src]
This uncle of the Weasley children got drunk at the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour on 1 August, 1997. He spent part of the wedding wondering whether or not Harry Potter, who was disguised as a red-haired Weasley cousin, was his son.[2]
Behind the scenes
- As it is known that Arthur Weasley had two brothers and no sisters,[3] it is widely assumed that the unnamed "uncle of Ron's" mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of Arthur's brothers, and thus a Weasley. However, since it is unknown whether Gideon and Fabian Prewett were Molly Weasley's only siblings, it is possible the unnamed uncle was another brother of Molly or the husband of her sister.

I got hooked on Saltwater, stuck on the Ocean's needle. The swell is rushing through my vains – directly into my pumping heart. And i still can not get the contrasts of this trip – the flooding of high, visually stunning waves of Euphoria – nor the Terror of the sensory deprivation on the other hand. These extremes i faced over a period of three months, alone on the Atlantic Ocean, in my rowing boat "Bifröst". 3500 nautical miles – Portugal to Barbados. What had begun as shy campaign against the dramatical impacts of Ocean Noise Pollution, in close collaboration with OceanCare, turned quickly into passion, and, at sea, into a mission in life. The Atlantic lays behind me now, but i already can hear the Pacific and Indian Ocean shouting my name. I am ready to move on, ready to proceed in my quest to confront myself with my deepest fears and anxiety – no matter if at sea or on land – no matter if rowing, sailing, kiting or walking. In the end, it will be always the longest and most rewarding journey into myself. I found that humans seem to be some sort of a plants, that can strike roots even in saltwater … and sometimes we even outgrow ourself here. So, i wanna grow, thats all.
But why did i row an Ocean?
I always wished to flee from everyday life, wanted to be a hero in action movie named "My Life". And i had to cross an entire ocean to realize, that i myself direct this movie, guide the camera, write the script and, in the end, watch myself on the big screen while eating Popcorn. I mean, i knew all this – but how little did i realize from all this? Knowing and realizing … well, looked all somewhat the same under the artificial illumination in my office. And lets be honest, i myself did not look like the person who would become the first woman ever rowing the Atlantic from mainland Europe to Barbados. But maybe this also was just a problem with the light and viewing angle of my mirror.
Years of preparation, all my experiences, all the things i have encountered: an extreme Woman, an extreme campaign. But No! I can't not stop here! Millions of people read my lines in German newspapers, saw me on Television, listened to me in Radio – almost speechless i realized that this is really happening. I was deeply touched by all of your feedback and more and more letters and mails arrived. I really trust in that this campaign can make a difference for many of us and for this wonderful habitat Ocean. I believe so, because hope fills me with pleasure. That's all.
I want to row against ignorance, repression, against devastation and lobbyism. I want to change the world for the better – at least bit by bit. And i want to motivate You to get up yourself or to feel endorsed in your engagement. We simply have to row on, stroke by stroke, because it is too easy to collapse in front the big, black walls of reality, in front of house-high waves that wash us over. I am lost in the world of the Ocean – Dolphins, whales and fish. The ones i met took away my breath for the rest of my life. And as i was kissed by a whale under water – i felt the relevance of believing and love. And i found the courage to ignore every other opinion about the sense and meaning of this two little words.
Anthropogenic (human-generated) noise levels in the marine environment are increasing at an alarming rate. In some areas, noise levels have doubled every decade for the past 60 years. There is mounting concern that noise proliferation poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems and the survival of marine mammals, fish and other ocean wildlife. Marine animals use sound to navigate, find food, locate mates, avoid predators and communicate. Flooding their world with intense sound interferes with these activities and results in serious consequences. A growing body of scientific research confirms anthropogenic noise can induce a range of adverse effects in fish, marine mammals and other ocean creatures, from disturbance to injury and death. A review of the scientific literature revealed that at least fifty-five marine species have exhibited impacts from intense and moderate underwater noise. Noise can work cumulatively or synergistically with other environmental threats by masking the sounds necessary for animals to avoid ships or entanglement in fishing gear. Animals whose food sources have been stressed by overfishing may be unable to hear their prey because of anthropogenic noise.
Because Ocean noise is a form of pollution that knows no boundaries, i support with my expeditions the Campaign "Silent Oceans" initiated by OceanCare and the International Ocean Noise Coalition. [Imprint]

Powdered aluminum is used to create silvery metallic and interference effects.
Aluminum powder is lightfast, but it must be protected from oxidation. Under normal conditions, aluminum metal is protected by a thin layer of oxides that forms on the metallic surface.
Aluminum is an abundant element, but it occurs naturally in non-toxic forms as a mineral oxide, not as a metal. Aluminum metallic powder is considered safe when it is suspended in an acrylic binder, for use in specialty artist and craft paints. Aluminum metal is toxic, but ill effects are generally observed only with long-term exposure. It is not easily absorbed in the gastro-intestinal tract. It can cause irritation to eyes, skin, and the respiratory tract. Long-term exposure may lead to pulmonary fibrosis. Aluminum powder is flammable and has a low flash point.
Although aluminum is an abundant element in the Earth's crust, it was a semi-precious metal until the late 19th century, when an electrolytic process was developed for extracting aluminum from the mineral oxide forms in which it naturally occurs.

A progressive voice of small business in Maine today cited the findings of a new national survey as evidence that most favor immigration reform. The poll - commissioned by the Main Street Alliance and the American Sustainable Business Council - surveyed 515 business owners last month, each of which had less than 100 employees. About two-thirds of respondents favor immigration reform, including creationof a so-called "roadmap: to citizenship for the 11 million-plus undocumented immigrants living the U.S. Tom Porter has more.

The survey also indicated more than 60 percent of small business owners support a roadmap for future immigrants, who have yet to come to the U.S. For members of Maine's immigrant community who are also small business owners, this is welcome news.
"I'm happy," says Amina Osmanm, who runs the Tawakal store with her husband, Ali Mohamed, in downtown Portland.
Business is good, she says, and she wants to expand. "I try growing and growing, and hire employees and we'll be big business. I hope so."
For seven years, they've been selling food, mainly ethnic African food. Their customer base is largely drawn from Portland's immigrant community. Ali Mohamed says he doesn't normally get involved in politics, but immigration reform is an issue that affects him personally and economically.
"My family values hard work," he says. Ali and his wife came to the U.S. as refugees in 2000 from Somalia, where Ali says he worked as a banker. Their pathway to citizenship took eight years, during which time they saved enough money from doing low-paid jobs to buy the store they now operate.
Immigrants, he says, are job creators. According to the survey, they're twice as likely as U.S.-born citizens to start a small business.
"Immigration reform with a roadmap to citizenship helps ensure that those employers and employees can put down long-term roots that grow our economy and our community," Mohamed says.
"Small business owners, epsecially from the immigrant community, represent the height of the American dream," says Kevin Simowitz of Maine Small Business Coalition, a progressive organization that held a press conference in Portland and invited the Mohameds to speak with reporters.
"I think about it as the difference between renting and owning a home: When people feel like they have a long-term commitment to a community and to a country, they're able to establish roots and they grow that tax base," Simowitz says.
Simowitz says immigration reform is an issue which now cuts across party lines. "Both Democrats and Republicans from the small business community said that their current system didn't work, and that reforming the system would be most useful if it included a way for people to earn their American citizenship."
Nevetheless, there are still political divisions when it comes to immigration reform. The poll found that small business owners who identify as Democats are more supportive of reform than their Republican counterparts. Eighty-two percent of Democrat respondents supported reform, as opposed to 62 percent of Republicans.
The U.S. Senate is expected to take up immigration reform when Congress reconvenes next week. A bipartisan group of senators - known as the Gang of Eight - is expected to unveil sweeping immigration reform.
Maine's Independent Sen. Angus King admits the current immgiration system is broken, and says he's pleased that bipartisan efforts are underway to address this.
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, meanwhile, says she's looking "very closely" at the issue. She also stresses that true reform must "secure our borders, deter illegal immigration and favor those who have followed our immigration laws."
Dana Connors is president of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce. He says much of Maine's wider business community supports immigration reform as a way of tackling what he calls the state's population challenge.
"And how do you grow your population when we know that today we are the oldest, and that our population is predicted to be flat?" he says.
One way to grow, Connors says, is by welcoming hard-working immigrants. "Our history as a state is, quite frankly, replete with examples of growth through our immigrant community."
