Well Bill,
You can always start here for free. I once sold a rig on ebay only to find out it was a member of my u/w photo club.

With that said, the flash was gone in 7 days and I had my money to squander elsewhere. They did, however, freeze the funds for almost a week. I guess some sellers take the money and don't send anything to the buyer.
eBay worked for me in this case because I started the bidding low and took my chances.

Ash and the gang are spending the holidays in a house by the sea and they leave their Pokemon to look after things while they run errands. As the Pokemon explore the house, they admire all the holiday trimmings, including party hats, delicious treats and a Christmas tree. Bulbasaur and Squirtle get into a fight over the treats while Vulpix gets stuck in a stocking. Pikachu tries to keep everyone from wrecking the house, but it's too much for one Pokemon. Before long, the Christmas tree is toppled and, when the angry Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, the lights are blown out!
Now Pikachu needs everybody's help to put the house back together. The Pokemon help each other right the Christmas tree and clean up the mess they made; when Ash, Misty and Brock return, the Christmas tree is lit--even if it's being powered by Pikachu's electricity! Trainers and their Pokemon all wish each other happy holidays and enjoy their own party with friends.

John Brennans Astonished Reaction To Bachmanns Question Is Priceless (VIDEO)
By T. Steelman
Somebody please tell me why the hell Michele Bachmann is on the House Intelligence Committee? I mean, besides creating a textbook oxymoron. This committee deals with important state secrets, with the CIA and other government spooks. Its not a place for someone of little brain. Seriously, peoples lives could be at stake. Yet there she sits, with her cool little nameplate, with her very own microphone, asking well, thats the problem.
In a hearing this past Thursday with new CIA director John Brennan and some of his top men, Bachmann let her freak flag fly when she had a turn at the mic. Her first question (wait for iiiit) thats right: Benghazi. Give yourself 10 gold stars if you got that right (youre on the honor system). Yes, Michele wanted to know if the White House had informed the State Department of the armed drone strikes it had ordered prior to the attack on the Libyan embassy.
John Brennan looked perplexed for a few seconds, then replied:
Armed drone strikes in Libya? I am unknowing of such and would defer to the White House to address your question the White House doesnt have a drone capability, responsibility I dont know what it is specifically youre referring to.
Bachmann tries a few times to find out exactly how the White House managed to order non-existent drone strikes. I guess she was attempting to insinuate that the President sits in the Oval Office pushing buttons, launching drones and knocking back a few brewskis. Eventually she moves along after Brennan tells her that the White House doesnt, itself, have drone strike capability and he really has no idea what the hell shes talking about.
Unfazed, Michele changes direction to Iran, asking what the U.S. red line is regarding that countrys nuclear weapon development program, forgetting or not knowing that policy isnt Brennans department. She then goes on to point out that we werent aware of the several attacks since 1993 never mind that some people were quite aware that something big was in the works before 9/11/01 and shes concerned that Iran may have decided to commit suicide by waving a nuclear weapon over their heads (metaphorically) and well be unaware of that. Maybe realizing that this was insulting to the intelligence community, she compliments it a couple of times, as if that makes up for implying that they may not be doing their jobs.
This, of course, is something that could not be discussed in an open session, as Brennan notes, and Bachmann seems to take the hint. She then goes on to ask about a water reactor Iran supposedly has, querying whats the status of that legendary item. The CIA men look at each other, seemingly confused and reply that is another topic for a closed session.
Did Batsh*t Shelly forget exactly what those cameras all around the room were for? Or did she not care? Why is she on this committee? Im serious here. If she doesnt understand the delineation of what can be spoken about in an open session as opposed to a closed one how can she be trusted with sensitive information? Im pretty sure John Brennan has his doubts about that after her performance at this hearing.
We need to get Bachmann off the Intel Committee but I fear the only way that can be accomplished is to unseat her next year. I hope that can happen before her flapping gums get us into trouble.
Heres the video of the exchange on C-SPAN:

Two male wild turkeys were locked in a powerful struggle during the late afternoon in early November. We have 40 wild turkeys that live and feed at our home in suburban Boston. We have watched the flock grow from just a few to this large size over the past few years. Like any community our turkeys don't always get along with each other—from time to time they have their disagreements, but most are solved with some chasing and wing flapping. However, these two locked in battle for hours today.

Bornean Clouded Leopard
Neofelis diardi. Source: William Jardine's The Natural History of The Feline, Rimau-Dahan. 1837
The Bornean clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), or Sundaland clouded leopard, is a medium-sized wildcat found on Borneo, Sumatra and the Batu Islands in the Malay Archipelago Its coat is marked with irregularly-shaped, dark-edged ovals which are said to be shaped like clouds, hence its common name. Though scientists have known of its existence since the early 19th century, it was positively identified as being a distinct species in its own right in 2006, having long been believed to be a subspecies of the mainland Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa). WWF quoted Dr. Stephen O'Brien of the U.S. National Cancer Institute as saying, "Genetic research results clearly indicate that the clouded leopard of Borneo should be considered a separate species".

Conservation Status
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
|Common Names:
Bornean Clouded Leopard
Sundaland Clouded Leopard
Anatomy and morphology
The Bornean Clouded Leopard has a stocky build, with a body mass of around 12 to 25 kilograms. It is the largest felid in Borneo. The clouded leopard hunts mainly terrestrially and uses its climbing skills to hide from dangers. With short and flexible legs, large paws, and keen claws, this big cat is extremely sure-footed. The canine teeth are typically about two inches long, which, in proportion to the skull length, are longer than those of any other extant feline. Its tail can grow to be as long as its body, aiding balance.
The Bornean Clouded Leopard's range is Borneo and Sumatra in the Malay Archipelago. The species was previously found in Java, but has not been recorded there since Neolithic times, based upon archaelogical recoveries. Sabah, on the island of Borneo is one of the last strongholds of the occurrence of this endangered species; in particular, lowland tropical forests at altitudes of less than 2000 meters are considered the prime distribution loci.
The first documentary film of the species in Malaysia was produced in June, 2009.
Ecology and life history
The preferred habitat for N. diardi is lowland tropical forest and subtropical forest at altitudes up to about 2000 metres (6500 feet).
The habits of the Bornean Clouded Leopard are largely unknown because of the animal's secretive nature. It is assumed that it is generally a solitary creature.
Etymology and taxonomic history
Despite its name, the Bornean Clouded Leopard is not closely related to the leopard. The species was named Neofelis diardi in honor of French naturalist and explorer Pierre-Médard Diard; in the 19th century Felis diardii designated the Clouded Leopard/Bornean Clouded Leopard, colloquially Diard's Cat. The local names, Macan Dahan in Indonesian and Harimau Dahan in Malay (also reported historically in Sumatra), mean "tree branch tiger".
The species was long regarded as a subspecies of the Clouded Leopard, named N. nebulosa diardi. In December 2006, two articles in the journal Current Biology detailed a strong case for reclassifying and redefining two distinct species of Clouded Leopard: N. nebulosa from mainland Asia and N. diardi from the Malay archipelago, except Peninsular Malaysia. A United Kingdom study led by Andrew C. Kitchener detailed geographical variations in the Clouded Leopard, indicating a split of two species. The results of a morphometric analysis of the pelages of fifty-seven Clouded Leopards sampled throughout the genus-wide geographical range concluded that there were two distinct morphological groups, differing primarily in the size of their cloud markings.
Another study led by Valerie A. Buckley-Beason cited molecular evidence for the species-level distinction of the Clouded Leopard, although the study only used DNA samples from the Bornean population and mainland Asia and not from the Sumatran population. The genetics study found differences in the molecular genetic analyses (mtDNA, nuclear DNA sequences, microsatellite variation, and cytogenetic differences) of the different species of Clouded Leopard. Among the molecular disparities between the two species were thirty-six fixed mitochondrial and nuclear nucleotide differences and 20 microsatellite loci with nonoverlapping allele-size ranges. The study stated that the degree of differentiation was similar to the differences between the five Panthera species, thus concluding that N. diardi is a separate species from N. nebulosa.
Wilting et al. provided further evidence that sub-species should also be considered. They estimated that since the middle to late Pleistocene, Bornean and Sumatran clouded leopards were most likely isolated from each other and unable to move freely between islands. They suggest further studies to clarify this point due to the small sample sizes studied. The following classification is suggested : Bornean clouded leopard N. diardi borneensis and Sumatran clouded leopard N. diardi diardi, referring to their origin.

Numbers before the slash indicate the number of samples from this study, those after the slash indicate the number of samples that were included in the mtDNA analysis obtained from Buckley-Beason et al. [Source : Frontiers in Zoology]
Evolutionary history
The genetic analysis of N. nebulosa and N. diardi suggest the two species diverged approximately 1.4 million years ago, after the animals utilised a now submerged land bridge to reach Borneo and Sumatra from mainland Asia.
Massive habitat destruction for palm oil plantations, Kinabatangan River basin, Sabah, Borneo. @ C.Michael Hogan The Bornean Clouded Leopard's elusive behaviour impedes scientific study, hence exact figures of its population are not available. However, recent studies and filming (Dr Robert Martin) estimate the population to be between 5000 and 11,000 of these great cats left on Borneo, and 3000 to 7000 on Sumatra. In the countries of its native range, hunting of the Clouded Leopard is prohibited. However, these bans are very poorly enforced.
A recent study conducted in 2006, focusing on classifying tracks found in Sabah (northeastern Borneo), placed an estimate on the population: 1500 to 3200 cats in Sabah, with only 275–585 of them in substantial sized protected reserves.
Encroachment upon and complete destruction of the Bornean Clouded Leopard's natural habitat, primarily by logging and the creation of rubber and palm oil plantations, continues to threaten the entirety of the wild fauna of Borneo. The current IUCN Red Data category of "Vulnerable" might underestimate the threat these cats are facing

- Team Flare's goal/view may have been inspired by the real world's own problems with overpopulation and the strain on the planet's limited resources.
- Elite Four member Malva was once a member.
- All but Lysandre primarily use Scraggy, Mightyena, Scrafty (who are Dark-types) and the occasional Poison-type Pokémon.
- Unlike previous "Team" henchmen, Flare grunts have their team sigil on a belt buckle, instead of on their shirts.
- The grunts always say they have to do something with style, perhaps mistaking the "Flare" in Team Flare for "Flair".
- Regarding the "Flare" in the group's name, it may refer to how fire destroys everything it touches; this would also refer to their plan to destroy most life on the planet.

Mexico is a country in North America, south of the US and north of Guatemala and Belize and west of Cuba. Various gangs, especially in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, have their roots in Mexico. Mexico is referenced in various games. In Mexico, Grand Theft Auto games are not edited and are generally released in that country without controversy. Technically, the ESRB is recognized in the country, but their decisions are not legally enforced. Grand Theft Auto games in Mexico are usually released the same day as in the United States.
GTA Vice City
- Mexican Arms Dealers - A minority group who only makes one appearance in the game.
GTA San Andreas
- Los Santos Vagos - An Hispanic gang who most of the members are Mexican or are from Mexican ancestry.
- Varrios Los Aztecas - A GSF-friendly gang, members are Mexican or from other Latin America country.

This camera looks nice externally.
But Canon should add more features and sell it a slight higher price, let's say US$199, to include the following
mini HDMI connectivity
720p video recording at 60p
CMOS sensor for higher sensitivity
460,000 dots screen
to maintain a competitive edge over average smartphones.
I wondered will the add'l $20 be able to pay for all these upgrades?
I don't mind forgoing the lithium-ion battery for the previous AA-battery package to cut cost.

Buying a home with a stucco exterior requires careful consideration.
If gutters become clogged, water can spill down the sides of the home, pooling around the foundation.
After winter, give your house's exterior a checkup and perform any needed home maintenance.
Angie's Answers
Call and ask your contractors these questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It is your money and home. I would ask for references and take a look at samples of their work (especially the low bidder). Make sure all are licensed and carry the required insurance. You don't want to get a bad stucco job, so do your homework first before selecting a contractor; which may not be one of these. Check with your local building department and local building exchange for more references on these and other contractors. Good luck.
Alside is the far superior siding. Another option with the Alside is the Center Lock panel. It locks in the center of the panel, eliminating wind blow-offs,has a 3/4 inch profile, and carries the same warranty as the Charter Oak
Tom Ghysel
Owner, Tom Ghysel Siding Inc.
Both choices have plusses and minuses.
I am partial to vinyl siding myself if it is put on by a contractor that pays attention to details in sealing against water intrusion. The better grades of vinyl stand up to the weater very well. The siding on my own home is over 15 years old and shows no signs of fading or any changes due to sun exposure and have had no problems with water entry around windows or doors. It does not dent like the old aluminum siding did or break if hit by a ball or a rock thrown by a lawnmower. As long as you save a few extra panels even if a rock was to be broken by something like a rock it is easier to repair. I will add that the earlier vinyl sidings did tend to fade but I have seen homes I sided after putting additions on that were done 20+ years ago and they look fine. Those closer to the 30 year mark not as good on the fading though. I gennerally never use the cheaper panels though so I can not vouch for them but I think that as long as it is one of the better manufaturers it seems to be just panel thickness. Just a personal opinion but if you are looking for added insulation I would use one of the 4X8 or 2X8 panels rather than the insulated siding. I can not see how insulation on the back of each panel with all the joints can do much more than stiffen the panels and I would think it would hamper the movement of the panels with changes in temperature.
As for Hardi or any of the other fibre cement sidings it is way more costly and relys on caulk or tar paper strips between the panels to seal out water. It is not very forgiving on install mistakes and must be done perfectly to get the full Hardi warranty. I was just involved with a job where the contractor did not put a few pieces of flashing in properly and his guys lapped a corner board incorrectly and the Hardi lifetime warranty was void. Another thing I did not like is that it is put in with a blind nailing method and even though this house was done to specs in this area of the install the bottom of the siding was not tight to the lower courses in many spots. They did install it to the maximum exposure and I believe if they had gone to a larger panel or even lessened the exposure by 1/2" it probably would have been fine. The other thing I saw was the paint seems to be prone to scratching durring install and to me the house looked like it needed a paint job even though siding was new. I do think that if painted after install a paint job would last many years as the product is very stable and does not expand and contract much. The one big plus I see is it tend to HELP in and area prone to fires such as some ares out West. I put the word help in capitals because it will not fireproof the home but may stop ignition from sparks and moderate heat exposure.
Siding reviews in Three Rivers
returned my call within 24 hours, and we setup an on-site visit to draw up a proposal, which was approx 2 weeks from first contact. Fairly quick visit, covered all the basics and answered my questions. wasn't overly salesy, and I don't mean this in a negative way, but refreshingly straight to the point, and left me with a quote that evening.

The crew was very efficient and competent. The owner and project manager made frequent visits to the project site to ensure the quality of the job. We requested a refacing of our cement foundation. Although does not work with cement foundation, they were willing to subcontract the work to a very good and reliable cement contractor. Small problems were quickly resolved by the owner to our satisfaction. The job came out beautifully.

the crews were very experienced, worked hard and tidied up when finished. There
was not a moment's worry on our part. also did extras that were much
appreciated (relocated backdoor light, added a porch outlet, changed the garage
frame). He recommended and used the highest quality materials. The price was
very reasonable, but the value was superior. Highly recommended.
First, the best professional advice (from ) that we
have encountered. He is a graduate engineer, very smart, very experienced, very
dependable, always reachable, very quality conscious, very responsible for the
quality of the work performed. Could not ask for more. The workers have been
with him for years and we watched them in admiration. The work was performed
sooner than anticipated. The quality of materials chosen was tops.
We were very glad to have "discovered" Crystal

offers that ranged from one-half to twice as much as what we paid. Most
importantly, we had zero confidence in the people that were making those
offers. is top notch. We had not met anyone like him.
There were things that were changed along the way, and the crew were accommodating. Initially, I wanted the boards to be installed in a board and style in a 12" width. When measured the boards, he advised me that it would look too busy with that width and to go with 18". I trusted his judgment, and it turned out beautifully. Also, guarantees his work. A few weeks after they finished, the roof trim they replaced seemed to curl up, just a bit, I called, and they came to take care of it promptly.
Other contractor were not willing to work with my some of my requests, such as using a different brand of paint than they are use to or installing the siding in a board and style. and his assistant, , were very helpful and friendly. Helpful and friendly but was willing to do what they can to make their clients satisfied.
After all, if you're thinking of paying for something equal to the cost of a small car, you should be confident that what you're going to get will make you happy, and the process should be as stress-free as possible.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Senior Fellow Benjamin Powell is Interviewed on American Medicine Today Radio on Drug Approvals and the FDA
Recorded: Saturday, December 12, 2015
What is the cost of the long approval process for potentially life-saving drugs by the FDA? The approval process can take up to 12 years and cost $1 billion. But there are other costs. Patients arent able to take drugs that arent approved and they might die or become more ill. Another cost is that a potential drug maker might not want to take the financial risk of taking a drug to market. Powell recommends testing drugs but possibly making drugs "FDA recommended", rather than "FDA approved." Whats needed is competition and markets to help patients and entrepreneurs, says Powell.
