Another masterpiece from you
Very amazing. however I don't know how I feel about the surroundings(the stars and such) I just feel they take away from the profoundness of the main focus.
other then that it is truly stunning.
other then that it is truly stunning.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm ok with the stars, although I didn't think much about their placement
Que bonico tu!
Great to see a new painting from you, bud! Looks great to me! Interesting figure, a bit creepy but you know....that means I like it!
Great work!
It almost looks like a scene from "harold and the purple crayon", enveloped with a waxy surreal coating. Or at least thats what I first think when i see it. :3

No Lost Sleep Over the Postponed Summit
The Palestinian leadership was not especially disappointed yesterday when it learned of the postponement of the Arab summit conference that was to begin today in Tunis.
The Palestinian leadership was not especially disappointed yesterday when it learned of the postponement of the Arab summit conference that was to begin today in Tunis. At the Muqata in Ramallah, they had completed arrangements for broadcast of the speech that Yasser Arafat was to deliver, via satellite, and the Palestinian media reported in detail on the meticulous security arrangements implemented in Tunis.
Since the 1960s, Arafat has made it his business to participate in every summit conference, but he has not made it to any of the more recent conferences due to the siege Israel has imposed on him. The Arabs used to stridently demand that Israel allow Arafat to attend the summit sessions. Now they seem to have grown accustomed to his absence. The announcements about the postponement of the summit made no mention of the fact that Arafat was not going to attend.
Palestinian demands from the Arab states have not changed in years. The Palestinians ask that Arab states work harder on behalf of the Palestinian struggle, and that they enlist all their strength and diplomatic influence to pressure America and the European countries to adopt a more sympathetic stand on the Palestinian issue - none of which has happened.
Palestinian expectations of the summit in Tunis were perhaps lower than ever. Members of the Palestinian leadership can see that nearly all of the Arab rulers are now engaged in what is going on in Iraq, in American threats against Syria and in international demands for reform in Arab regimes (evidently the main reason for the postponement).
As always, the Palestinian street has unkind things to say about Arab leaders, who are portrayed as a collection of corrupt tyrants at the beck and call of the U.S., ready to betray the Arab nation in general, and the Palestinians in particular. Not a week passes without the Palestinian press publishing contemptuous, mocking caricatures of Arab leaders (usually they are not specifically named; rather, they are drawn in a standard likeness of a fat, mustachioed man wearing robes, in the style of the Persian Gulf rulers).
In previous summit meetings, Arab states adopted a financial assistance plan for the Palestinian Authority, which needs some $50 million a month to pay salaries. Palestinian cabinet ministers say the Arab states have failed to deliver on their financial commitments.
One factor that has somewhat disrupted preparations for this summit was the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Most Palestinians derived great pleasure from scenes of the demonstrations against Israel and the U.S., some of them violent, which took place throughout the Arab world after Yassin's death. Such demonstrations always become protests against rulers of the country in which they take place, who are asked to break off any contact, direct or indirect, with Israel.
The prime minister's disengagement plan, which confounded the Palestinians, is confounding Arab leaders, too. If the Israeli government is planning unilateral steps, and cutting itself off from the Palestinians - why should the Arabs and the Palestinians work hard to draw up a plan for negotiations and a settlement? Indeed, there is an Arab plan for a settlement (the Saudi initiative that was adopted by the Arab League in March 2002), and during the preparations for the summit, there was talk about possibly updating and improving it. In the meantime, however, the Israeli idea of a withdrawal from Gaza has been tabled, and at least Egypt and Jordan are hoping to see the withdrawal as a first step in a comprehensive Israeli withdrawal, in the framework of the road map.
Farouk Kaddoumi, the Palestinian rejectionist who is backed by Syria, said in newspaper interviews this weekend that as far as he can fathom, there is no interest right now in peace initiatives; thus, there is no reason for the Arab leaders to even be discussing the matter.
If in the past, Arab summit conferences were a subject that sparked excitement and enthusiasm among the Palestinian public and its leadership, today's summit was conceived as a routine, ho-hum event. Arafat was supposed to give one of his ordinary speeches, and the Arab spokesmen had prepared a few mutual verbal barbs. The Palestinians had few expectations of the summit, and no one is losing sleep over its postponement.

At 1 Lutheran church, gay, partnered and preaching
MINNEAPOLIS Brad Froslee was installed as pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church at a special Sunday service attended by dozens of his fellow pastors, as well as Froslee's proud parents and grandmother, all devoted lifelong Lutherans.
But the Minneapolis Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America officially lists Calvary's ministry as vacant. That's because, sitting with Froslee's family at his installation ceremony in February, was his male partner of 5 1/2 years – living proof that Froslee has flouted the ELCA's prohibition on non-celibate gay pastors.
"What I heard from the members of the church's call committee was that from the first meeting, they knew I was the one meant to be their pastor," said Froslee, 35. "I've always felt called to this process, and that in a sense God has a guiding hand in this. So I always had a sense it would work out."
But to make it work, Froslee and the church and synod leaders are operating on what church council member Brian Aust called "the margins of the ELCA." It's an arrangement that could be formalized this August, when leaders of the ELCA – the nation's largest Lutheran denomination with 4.7 million members – meet for their biannual convention in Minneapolis.
An ELCA task force has recommended a policy that would let congregations decide whether to allow gays and lesbians in committed relationships to serve as their clergy. The resolution has been criticized from both directions, with liberals saying it doesn't go far enough and conservatives saying it conflicts with Scripture.
"This isn't about sex," said the Rev. Mark Chavez of Landisville, Pa., the director of Lutheran CORE, a coalition of conservative groups in the ELCA. "It's finally about the authority of God's word."
But the approach envisioned by the task force is already in practice at Calvary Lutheran, a modest 70-year-old brown brick church in a racially diverse neighborhood four miles south of downtown Minneapolis. The 120-member congregation is a mix of young families and single people, middle-aged couples and older established members, and is mostly white despite the surrounding neighborhood.
"In the City for Good," reads a banner on the front of the church, a symbol of Calvary's mission of social justice and outreach to distressed communities. When it came time last year to replace the married couple who served as co-pastors the last 13 years, Calvary's lay leaders wanted someone who would help realize that mission.
"We're a church that's serious about being real about issues of crime and poverty and racial and social injustice," said Josh Moberg, a stay-at-home dad who's president of the church council. "And Brad had experience working with diverse and poor communities. The identities seemed like a good fit."
Froslee grew up in the tiny western Minnesota town of Vining, a region still heavily populated by descendants of the German and Scandinavian settlers who helped establish a Lutheran presence in the United States. His family had a long tradition of involvement in their church, and Froslee grew up on a steady diet of Sunday school and church camp.
A high school overachiever, Froslee kept his love of the church into college. But he planned for law school after realizing from a pretty early age "that I was different and didn't really fit the mold when it came to sexuality," he said.
In college at St. Olaf in Northfield, a theology professor told Froslee his work had uncommon insight and asked why he wasn't considering the ministry.
"I hemmed and hawed for quite a while, and then finally I said I don't think there's a place for me in the church because I'm gay," Froslee said. "And he looked at me and said, 'Brad, that's a cop-out.' And that I think really became kind of a turning point for me in terms of my journey."

Skip to comments.'I'm a eat you': Crazed naked man high on bath salts threatens to eat police officers as they try to
Posted on 07/03/2012 12:06:58 PM PDT by null and void
Newest 'cannibal': Karl Laventure apparently told police he wanted to eat their faces
Laventure appeared out of some woods and was seen running naked around a golf range near Atlanta, swinging a club around his head and screaming.
At first, they tried using pepper spray to stop him, but that left him undeterred.
'He didn't even wipe his eyes, he just kept them open,'
They then turned to their Tasers and though that momentarily shocked Laventure to the ground, it did not stop him.
Trouble: It took several police officers a significant amount of effort to subdue Karl Laventure when he was allegedly high on bathsalts
'We had to Tase him approximately five more times on scene to get him down. It took several officers to hold him down to get him cuffed,'
He was still talking gibberish, cussing, saying he wanted to eat us, other people
The video shows him talking about the deceased rappers Biggie and Tupac, making animal sounds, and continuing to threaten the police officers.
Strong: Police sprayed him with pepper spray and shocked him with a taser five times before they were able to get him on the ground
Interrupted: Witnesses saw a naked Laventure running around the Atlanta Golf Center on June 14 'making animal noises'
Among other things he said "I'm'a eat you. I'll eat you, I don't want to eat you but I will,"
Though they controlled him enough to force him to a nearby hospital, he attacked one of the nurses on the scene and another fight ensued.
There have been a number of 'cannibal' incidents linked to bath salts in recent weeks.
Bath salts, a synthetic amphetamine cocktail known as 'the new LSD'

I think they were trying to raise funds by convincing a poster to return to FR...one who opused out a while ago, "never to return."
We're talking about a restaurant near the BWI Airport.
I like to meet FReepers there who are traveling through.
But I was thinking about that fact when I first mentioned Timbuktu. I take the time when posting to frame my words carefully, and to conceal any Easter Eggs that I can contrive.
It is that careful attention that helps me avoid Darksheare's baleful influence.
Well, yeah. Dark's coffee will KILL you, quickly if you are lucky.
Given a choice between Dark's coffee, and Socrates' final libation, I'm pretty sure I'd feel safer with the hemlock.
(applause and agreement all around. Followed by a hushed silence for our friend deployed.)
Apparently by JimRob himself.
Doesn't look good for getting him back, but we managed to redeem Laz, so I suppose anything is possible.
Yes, Quix is a bit of a nutter, but by golly, he's our nutter!
I have a roma and a beefsteak in pots in the front near the door but the back garden is kaput...not enough time with work, the commute and hubby's chemo which is even farther and no one else (teens) jumped in to help get the plastic chickenwire up. Ce la vie.
Redeem Laz? Great balls of fire! Where Tango Halifax was I?
Yeah, Laz got banned some years back, there was a successful Free Laz campaign.
I donated for the "Bail Out Laz" campaign. I'll contribute for Quix, too, if the idea pick up steam. He's unusual even beyond the usual bounds of FReepish unusualness, but I like him.
Is that a fancy way of saying "I'm a eat you?"
My appendix is busy at the moment. Since it wasn't doing anything anyway, I sent it off in search of my wayward gruntle.
Did you lose your gruntle in the move? Things like that happen all the time. We lost the topic back in '06 and never found it, and we lost the extra shower curtains, and then the zombies found them and it was ... unspeakable.
I hope you have a lovely 4th, or whatever day it is in Japan. I need to get Beau Handsome up to feed the dragons.
A lovely Independence Day to you and yours also. It's still the 4th here for a few more hours, but it's nearly time for beddy bye for this dis-gruntled FReeper.
Thanks to everyone at the UT for this bastion of
insanity amid a mad, mad world.
Happy Birthday America!
Hummingbirds are battling outside my window this morning. Five or six of them, looking like the circling Zeros in the Pearl Harbor display at the Monroe Air Show.
Enjoy, Eaker!
I have a really autentico salsa recipe.
Marias Famous Salsa recipe
5 yellow chiles
1 white onion
1 bunch cilantro
1 can whole or diced tomatoes
salt to taste
garlic powder to taste
2 avacados
Boil chiles in water for approximately 30 minutes. Place in blender (in two parts) and puree:
chiles, with stems removed
1/2 onion
1/2 bunch cilantro
sal and garlic powder
Pour into bowl. Add remaining onion, chopped, and cilantro, chopped. Chop avcados and add to mixture.
Serve with tortilla chips.
Happy Quatro de Julio!
YAY!!! We've moved at last!
I'm a little late with the cookies and cocoa, though. Sorry! I was asleep when the moving took place.
We love you! You contribute more than you know to the sanity of the Undeadders.
I hope your Fourth was a good one!
It's the typo field, isn't it?
Odd that..
Oh well, Ping!
You are re-added to the list!
[Let's hope my machine doesn't eat the list this time?]
It's a terrible thing to watch.
What with the foaming at the mouth and the glowing eyes.
Happy Fourth, and so forth. Any 'splodey things planned in your vicinity? I don't expect you to discuss the unplanned ones, nor would I blame you.
Hey, my typo field doesn't miss.
It has a one hundred percent success rate.
I can't help it if the spelling chicken button clucks in satisfaction upon pecking a post to death and weeding out the typos.
No, nothing going on here.
Be verrrrrrrry afraid. There's Zombies out there and they be following every move!
Zombie Preparedness
Wonder why Zombies, Zombie Apocalypse, and Zombie Preparedness continue to live or walk dead on a CDC web site? As it turns out what first began as a tongue in cheek campaign to engage new audiences with preparedness messages has proven to be a very effective platform. We continue to reach and engage a wide variety of audiences on all hazards preparedness via Zombie Preparedness; and as our own director, Dr. Ali Khan, notes, "If you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack." So please log on, get a kit, make a plan, and be prepared! -CDC.GOV
I got drunk last night. Now I am sitting around under the fan, because it is already too hot, drinking water and lime juice.
Good morning, and happy Independence Day! Take that, Queen Elizabeth (nothing personal)!
Bill will soon be off to the parade with the mini-Scouts, and I'm taking the remaining personnel to church. DP phoned last night, said they survived Jet Ski-ing, even Tom, who flipped his personal watercraft after they said it had never been done. Sigh.
I saw a great big rabbit chasing a chicken as we drove home from Walmart a few minutes ago. Darks been genetic-engineering in my 'hood?
Welcome back to sober responsibility. It won't last that long.
Sigh. Freepmail me your address. You had to know it to get utilities.
High 86s here. Bill and teh Cubs will be hot.
How is it that I instinctively know there is foolishness occurring when I see your 3 names in a post?
Happy Independence Day to y'all!
There are cicadas now also.
Rabbits like to chase birds because they are one of the few creatures that will run from a rabbit, another being James Earl Carter.
Birds don't like to have their personal space invaded, even by trusted acquaintances.
I would not exclude the possibility that Darks may be conducting research, but we will need to help him maintain plausible deniability. -- I have seen nothing!
I thought they were locusts.........
There are dead ones all over the street.
I think locusts are supposed to be grasshoppers.
Giant rabbit chasing a bird.
Naaah, not my fault.
I hope.
The guy's lucky some cop didn't try for a hole-in-one.
We only worry about our own zombieow, and for now, the Dwarves and the basilisk seem to be controling them quite well, with an occasional assist from the spider bots. But thanks for the caution.
He threatened to eat the cops.
I had a bunny that chased the neighborhood feral cats.
Thank you, fan!
How can you possibly say such a thing? I was discussing sober responsibility.
Speaking of which, better keep an eye on that young'un of your'n. Anoreth is not so far away, presumably.
OK - got it!
And you what o this subject?
Speaking of which, better keep an eye on that young'un of your'n. Anoreth is not so far away, presumably.
I'd trust her with Anoreth over you any day.........remember, I've met you!!!
Happy 4th Gabz! Watch out for dangerous rabbits and hungover girls with explosives.
I'm going to watch "Magnum, P.I." with Kathleen. Maybe she'll fall asleep. Of course, if she does, Bill and the Cubs will return, all yelling.
Try the Cyber Liberty sure-fire morning-after cure: Eat a pizza with extra sauce, chase with as much water as you can possibly drink....then even more water.
Happy 4th to you as well!
Dangerous rabbits and hung over girls are not an issue here........we're headed for a BBQ at the American Legion - it's the drunks with the explosives I'm concerned about!
Ah.... Magnum....I need a dose of Tom Selleck
That's an excellent point.
I do remember that, by the way. You wore a very nice dress.
I had 4 waffles and a sausage plus several glasses of water. I feel like I need to take a nap now.

Kitchen Before & After: A Vintage Kitchen Gets a "New Vintage" Look
Reader Kitchen Remodel
Kitchn reader Kim admits that the kitchen in her 1853 home wasn't terrible, but it did have several features she and her husband weren't wild about: tile countertops, vinyl flooring that covered up hardwood, and an electric cooktop mounted in the island, among other things. So, over the course of 16 months they did a complete remodel of the space, transforming it into a beautiful, cozy kitchen with a distinct industrial-vintage vibe. See the 'after' photos below:

Kitchen Before & After: A 1970s Kitchen Gets Open Shelving and Safer Appliances
Reader Kitchen Remodel
Kitchn reader Heather knew the time had come to remodel her 1970s kitchen when she started smelling gas: "Our oven smelled like gas for the first 10 minutes after being turned on, and the outside got as hot as the inside, which was too dangerous for a child, and we have a 4-year-old," Heather tells us. So, inspired by this kitchen, she set about to design something a little more airy and open.
Kitchen Before & After: A Cramped, Chipped Kitchen Gets a New Look

Haunted Schools: North Side High School
In the industrious city of Fort Wayne, Indiana there stands a long-established, secondary school house that serves the north central neighborhoods of Fort Wayne – North Side High School. The educational facility is over 80 years old, and has a long standing history of being disturbed by numerous ghost hauntings.
An old Native American chief, a young girl, a janitor and a construction worker are all said to haunt North Side High School, and no telling how many more ghosts may be roaming the edifying hallways of the Fort Wayne school house.
It all started back in 1927 when North Side High School was first built. As the story goes, the school was scheduled to be built upon an old Miami Indian burial ground. The chief of the local tribe adamantly protested the location of the new Indiana school, but his warnings went unheeded.
The old Native chief is said to haunt North Side High School to this day, as if continuing to warn others of the sacrilege of his tribe's burial grounds. In honor of the Miami Indian chief, North Side High School's mascot is named Chief Mac. But apparently having an over-stuffed animal parade around the sports field bearing his namesake wasn't enough to ward off the ghost of the old chief!
The spectral apparition of a teenage girl has been reported by dozens of students and staff members alike. The young girl is often seen in the gymnasium and indoor track area. This may be a residual haunting; one in which the ghost continuously reenacts past events rather than interacting with anyone consciously as there were no reports of attempted communication or her ghost even acknowledging the presence of other people.
Several years back, a North Side High School janitor lost his life to a fatal heart attack in the basement of the Fort Wayne school. Sense then, subsequent maintenance staff members have claimed to see the janitor down in the basement near the area where he died.
A construction worker is also said to haunt the stage vicinity of the auditorium. Back in the 1920's, when the school was being built, a portion of the stage area collapsed during construction, killing one worker and injury several others in the process. This ghost is believed to be the spirit of said worker.
In the early 2000's, major renovations took place at North Side High School, including in the locale of the auditorium. The work went on for about 2 years until it was finally completed in 2004. Several members of the construction crew admitted to witnessing a ghost in the area who seemed to be trying to warn them of the danger he had once so tragically suffered.
To this day, stories continue to arise from students and employees who have experienced the ghosts of North Side High School. Knowing how teenagers can imaginatively embellish such tales, it is hard to say exactly what is true and what is not, but these are some of the most common, similarly told interpretations of the haunted school.

i go to northside and they say that the atitorium is the most haunted
North Side is NOT haunted. I spent an entire summer there and I never saw any ghosts or apparitions or anything of the sort. Also, I know students who go there and each of them agree. North Side isn't haunted. The auditorium is especially not haunted.
I've never seen a ghost at ns so i dnt think it's true…!!!
Hey I go to North Side and im in 11th grade and the auditorium is haunted. Last year I would get there before it was even open yet and I would just walk around the halls and you can hear foot steps behind you if you just to walking. Or if you walk around at about 9 or 10 after a game. You can feel them or hear them. I think someone should just stay in there for a hole night with camaras and night vision on them and see if they can get any evp's or anything. I wish I could!
I went to NS in the 90s, and until my junior year, I didn't believe it was haunted either. However, after the state band competition, many of us were inside the school between midnight and one am. Some of us went to our lockers on the third floor where the old business hall was (don't know if it's still there after the construction) and a blue light was glowing at the far end. It moved closer to us like it was walking toward us, stopped thirty feet from us, and disappeared into the wall. We ran SCREAMING back to the cafeteria where everyone else was.
Ns is haunted my sister stand there cause she is in bend and she stayed there and she went to 9 hall and heared some one walking after her and she turned around and didnt see nobody then she went to the bathroom and she heard some one laughing and she look out there and no one was there
i was walking in the hall and someone was be hind me and i turnd my head i did not see nothing then when i thouht i see a shawdo i ran then the ghost chace me i ttrapped and feel and it leaf me alone
We're producing tales of ghost stories that have emerged at schools across the country called "School Spirits" from Mark Burnett (Survivor, Amazing Race etc.) The stories will be told in first-person narratives through the testimonials of students, as well as alumni, teachers, parents, staff or faculty, who claim to have encountered paranormal activity, with reenactments to help explain the circumstance.

Thank you,
I am Yvette, a current student at north side, I invited my friend Iran because she was transfering from Snider.We were walking around after school hours and we stop by the auditorium. We heard about the rumors that it was haunted but we didnt believe it. The doors were unlocked so we decided to go in. It was all dark exept the stage. We were messing around and talking and I got a phone call from my mom and during the phone Yvette heard whistling and the call ended by itself we were terrified and ran out….coincidence or not..it was pretty scary.
i go to northside and it is haunted. i say this because i was in the aditoriam on 8-28-12.And i had put my feet on the stage stairs.About 2 ta 3 minuets my shoes were un tied. my eyes were open and the was no one in there but me.
I love the stories and I do believe them .
I go to north side high school now and I believe it's real. I'm in dance class and I was changing in the green room and all of the sudden the two doors that are like changing rooms closed by it self. I was scared really bad to where I went screaming to my friends.
I'm not in this school anymore, but when I was there I had a lot of exsperionce their, my freshmen year I had to go to my locker and get my things because I was my last day here. So I went through the hall way usually where the office is than took the stairs but where the old hallway that wasn't built yet I went through than I look closely and in the darkened stairs I lilerly saw two shadows chasing each other down the stairs than I ran up the stairs and I noticed the second hall way was huanted to so I ran pass there than made it to my locker and never went down there again.
Before I moved, I was in the choir class and everybody was paying attention to the teacher ms.woods was our teacher name and the choir was downstairs so all of us were talking to ms.woods and all of the son I saw a showdow moved and bump the door than it was gone and every body heard it. And that's when my friends and everyone said to the teacher well this and that person told me the school was huanted. And yes I saw them clearly and I am gifted with abilities. So don't hate.
I live in Fort Wayne and while I have never attended Northside High School, I have only ever heard the Indian legend. However, I must say most of the posters here must have actually attended there, as their grammar itself is proof of a Northside education. Maybe the ghosts were actually drug induced hallucinations. Proof of why my children will never to go any FWCS school.

okok you get my watch
What an absolute badass :3
Looks awesome :3
that's so so cool
This is a really good concept. Both stylish, cool, original and it looks like a plausible helmet.
My all time favorite helmet
Awesome, great job.
Excellent work!
I like this
i like it. looks very practical
Detailing is great on that mate
A very awesome helmet design
Nice, man. Can you give a tip on line weight? I'm having trouble with my line works. Not sure when to go thick and when to go thin.
I guess the lines are something you personally achieve with practice. The more you sketch, the more defined and relaxed your line work is. To me, this might sound stupid or crazy, but I feel the marks flowing from me. If I'm calm and collective I can control my marks better, thus being even more accurate and need less strokes to achieve shapes.
Anyway, keep practicing on minimal strokes / lines. And take your time It'll come to you.
Hope I helped. I'm not tutor

Consumers complained about having to figure the tax on liquor.
Reuben Jones is among many Washington shoppers who have grumbled over the past month about having to calculate their own taxes on liquor.
"It's like smoke and mirrors," said Jones, of Bothell. "Why don't they just roll it all into one [price], the way it was before [at state stores]? It's not something I want to bother with."
He's getting his wish.
To save customers from doing mind-bending calculations in grocery aisles, a handful of retailers are adding the final, after-tax prices to liquor shelf tags in Washington.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...

"We learned very quickly it's tricky and difficult for people to figure out," said John McKay, executive vice president of Costco Wholesale, which will add final prices on name-brand liquor products in the next 60 to 90 days. It already displays after-tax prices on private-label Kirkland Signature liquor.
Total Wine & More added final prices to shelf tags this week, the Metropolitan Market chain is in the process of doing it, and Safeway is considering it.
Beginning June 1, when large retailers began selling liquor in Washington, most posted signs showing customers how to calculate taxes themselves. It involves adding 20.5 percent for liquor sales tax, plus a liter tax that varies depending on the size of the bottle. In some cases, those taxes can double the initial retail price of the liquor.
President David Trone of Total Wine said his chain initially programmed its computer system to show after-tax prices. But on June 1, most competitors displayed and advertised their lower, pretax prices instead.
Fearful that its prices would look expensive, Total Wine reprogrammed its system to display pretax prices. "We told IT [information technology] we goofed," Trone said.
Now he's rethought the shelf labels again and this week began displaying taxes and after-tax totals for liquor, like Bartell Drugs did all along.
April Lundberg, of Mukilteo, who recently shopped at Total Wine, has considered making a cheat sheet with some calculations on it.
Doing the math reminds her how much she dislikes Washington's high liquor taxes.
The nonprofit Tax Foundation shows Washington's liquor taxes as the highest in the country in 2010 — roughly $26.45 a gallon, compared to $24.63 in Oregon, $10.96 in Idaho and $3.30 in California.
Lundberg would prefer a tax on something everyone uses.
"I want a toilet-paper tax, because I buy good toilet paper and I'll pay more on that. I think it's the great equalizer, but I don't have a grass-roots following yet," Lundberg half-joked.
Issaquah-based Costco, which wrote the initiative that voters passed last fall to privatize the state's liquor system, already shows after-tax prices for its private-label liquor. Employees manually print those signs, because the prices don't change often.
Prices on name-brand liquor, though, can change frequently, and Costco does not want employees at each of its 27 Washington warehouses manually rewriting the signs each time it happens, McKay said.
So, the company is reconfiguring its sign-printing system to allow it to show multiple taxes and the final price. It will take 60 to 90 days before customers see the new shelf labels, he said.
Metropolitan Market is updating its labels to show after-tax prices, too, said vice president of marketing Brad Halverson.
It will continue to list pretax prices as well, so customers can compare with competitors more easily, he said.
Safeway is reconsidering its shelf tags on liquor as well, said spokeswoman Sara Osborne. Factors include possible future adjustments to liquor taxes, shelf tags at other retailers and the fact that taxes are not shown on other taxable items at Safeway.
Fred Meyer and QFC, both owned by Kroger, do not intend to make similar changes. Said Melinda Merrill, a Fred Meyer spokeswoman: "I haven't heard from our customers about it at all."

Drug Information for Bystolic (Physicians Total Care, Inc.): ADVERSE REACTIONS
- External Links Related to Bystolic (Physicians Total Care, Inc.)
The data described below reflect worldwide clinical trial exposure to BYSTOLIC in 6545 patients, including 5038 patients treated for hypertension and the remaining 1507 subjects treated for other cardiovascular diseases. Doses ranged from 0.5 mg to 40 mg. Patients received BYSTOLIC for up to 24 months, with over 1900 patients treated for at least 6 months, and approximately 1300 patients for more than one year. In placebo-controlled clinical trials comparing BYSTOLIC with placebo, discontinuation of therapy due to adverse events was reported in 2.8% of patients treated with nebivolol and 2.2% of patients given placebo. The most common adverse events that led to discontinuation of BYSTOLIC were headache (0.4%), nausea (0.2%) and bradycardia (0.2%).Adverse Reactions in Controlled Trials
Table 2 lists treatment-emergent signs and symptoms that were reported in three 12-week, placebo-controlled monotherapy trials involving 1597 hypertensive patients treated with either 5 mg, 10 mg or 20-40 mg of BYSTOLIC and 205 patients given placebo and for which the rate of occurrence was at least 1% of patients treated with nebivolol and greater than the rate for those treated with placebo in at least one dose group.
Other Adverse Events Observed During Worldwide Clinical Trials
Table 2. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events with an Incidence (over 6 weeks) = 1% in BYSTOLIC-Treated Patients and at a Higher Frequency than Placebo-Treated Patients Placebo(n = 205)(%) Nebivolol5 mg(n = 459)(%) Nebivolol10 mg(n = 461)(%) Nebivolol20-40 mg(n = 677)(%) Headache 6 9 6 7 Fatigue 1 2 2 5 Dizziness 2 2 3 4 Diarrhea 2 2 2 3 Nausea 0 1 3 2 Insomnia 0 1 1 1 Chest pain 0 0 1 1 Bradycardia 0 0 0 1 Dyspnea 0 0 1 1 Rash 0 0 1 1 Peripheral edema 0 1 1 1
Listed below are other reported adverse events with an incidence of at least 1% in the more than 5300 patients treated with BYSTOLIC in controlled or open-label trials, whether or not attributed to treatment, except for those already appearing in Table 2, terms too general to be informative, minor symptoms, or events unlikely to be attributable to drug because they are common in the population. These adverse events were in most cases observed at a similar frequency in placebo-treated patients in the controlled studies.
Body as a whole: asthenia.
Gastrointestinal System Disorders: abdominal pain
Metabolic and Nutritional Disorders: hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia
Nervous System Disorders: paraesthesiaLaboratory
In controlled monotherapy trials, BYSTOLIC was associated with an increase in BUN, uric acid, triglycerides and a decrease in HDL cholesterol and platelet count.Events Identified from Spontaneous Reports of BYSTOLIC Received Worldwide
The following adverse events have been identified from spontaneous reports of BYSTOLIC received worldwide and have not been listed elsewhere. These adverse events have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of seriousness, frequency of reporting or potential causal connection to BYSTOLIC. Events common in the population have generally been omitted. Because these events were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to BYSTOLIC exposure: abnormal hepatic function (including increased AST, ALT and bilirubin), acute pulmonary edema, acute renal failure, atrioventricular block (both second and third degree), bronchospasm, erectile dysfunction, hypersensitivity (including urticaria, allergic vasculitis and rare reports of angioedema), myocardial infarction, pruritus, psoriasis, Raynaud's phenomenon, peripheral ischemia/claudication, somnolence, syncope, thrombocytopenia, various rashes and skin disorders, vertigo, and vomiting.

Looking for someone with some time on this printer who can report on print head reliability. Especially if left for a week or two without printing. The small 2 picoliter droplet size could be a double edged sword?

Home > Community Programs > Women & Children's Health > Delaware County Cribs for Kids
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among infants one month to one year old, and claims the lives of 2,500 U.S. infants each year. While the causes of SIDS are not fully understood, experts do know that certain conditions - such as bed-sharing and co-sleeping - present in an infant's sleeping environment can lead to an increased risk of SIDS.
Cribs for Kids, a national program established in 1998 in Pittsburgh, Pa., provides underserved families with education, awareness and cribs to curtail infant deaths and injury resulting from an infant's sleeping environment. Crozer-Keystone Health System partners with the national Cribs for Kids program to serve those in need in Delaware County.
The program asks those in need of a crib to contact their school, church, social or human service agency to complete a referral form. The referring agency will submit the completed referral to the Delaware County Cribs for Kids program. The referral is reviewed to determine eligibility by the local chapter. Referrals must be sent by an organization. Referrals sent by individuals or families will not be considered for participation in the Cribs for Kids program.
Once a family is approved, they need to come to Crozer-Keystone's Women's and Children's Health Services office in Chester and participate in a health education program prior to receiving the crib. Among the things discussed are:
Families are welcome to call the Cribs for Kids coordinator several weeks after attending the educational session with any concerns that may have come up.

Have you met someone who speaks like they're casting spells and has a distant look in their eyes? That's a fey person, someone who seems like they come from another world, kind of like an elf.
There's a fey girl, let's call her Faye. Fey Faye is not an elf nor a witch, but she seems supernatural in a vague way, and her voice sounds like a magic flute. Fey comes from the Old English word fǣge, or literally "fated to die soon," which refers to that odd good mood a person is in right before they die. Don't worry, that definition isn't used anymore, and fey Faye isn't dying. But she is kind of spooky.
Definitions of fey
adj suggestive of an elf in strangeness and otherworldliness
""the fey quality was there, the ability to see the moon at midday"- John Mason Brown"
- Synonyms:
- elfin
not existing in nature or subject to explanation according to natural laws; not physical or material

For an analog mono synth, the Korg MS-20 has enjoyed an archetypally topsy-turvy ride during its 20-year history. Launched the same year as the Prophet-5, when all eyes and ears were on microprocessor control, program memory, and polyphony - none of which the MS-20 offers - this military-looking synth still enjoyed relative success due to its unusual patch-bay panel design and its interesting range of sonic possibilities. By the mid-1980s, of course, you would have been lucky to get a third of what you paid for an MS-20. In the heyday of polyphonic synths and keyboard workstations, the MS-20's busy, almost academic look was well out of fashion.
Now it's an entirely different matter. The MS-20's unique look and, to some extent, sound has propelled it to the top of the must-have tree in 2000. In fact, Korg is now leveraging mileage out of the MS-20 concept with its new MS-2000 and MS-2000R (reviewed in the August 2000 issue of EM).
Two things set the MS-20 apart. First is the patch bay, which lets you make custom patches (in the traditional sense of the term, using patch cords) so that you can, say, hook up pink noise as a modulation source and the like. Second, it offers several cool but rarely seen items, including sample-and-hold, ring modulator, footpedal filter control, and pitch-to-voltage control.
The bones of the MS-20 are two oscillators with independent waveforms and pitch control. There's good separation between the oscillators, and you get a nice range of control options, including a ring modulator, two envelope generators (EGs), and an LFO.
The resonant filter can be either lowpass or highpass (or even bandpass if you use the patch bay), with multiwaveform LFO or EG modulation. The filter has a 12 dB/octave slope, so it is by no means as fierce as a Minimoog filter. But thanks to the MS-20's creative modulation possibilities, producing effects such as wah-wah and filter vibrato is pretty straightforward. You also get portamento with a time/speed variable. The ring modulation and white/pink-noise features compensate for the less-than-steely filtering by adding bags of character to what could have been a thinnish timbre.
The two EGs offer further variety. EG1 is internally routed to the oscillators and features delay, attack, and release parameters. EG2 can be applied to the filter or amplifier and includes attack, decay, sustain, release, and hold.
The MS-20 employs an unusual hertz-to-volts (as opposed to volts-per-octave) paradigm. At one time, Korg made a converter interface to enable connection with synths using a more conventional approach.
In the past few years, the look and sound of the MS-20 has grown steadily more popular. Long admired by such technoboys as The Shamen and Aphex Twin, this synth has found more recent favor with the likes of Apollo Four Forty (for ghostly squeals on its live performances) and Portishead.
If you need an MS-20 owners' manual, one can be obtained at www.acrylnimbus.de/manual.

- ...At the time of uploading this photo, the river from the image (the river Sava) threatens to flood many Serbian towns.
Photographed yesterday, while many of Belgrade people worked on the construction of the dam in order to defend our city from raging waters.
- - Serbia needs help from whole world
- Here you can find information about humanitarian aid : www.facebook.com/helpforserbia
Where was that taken exactly? It looks like the embankments alongside the river, in Novi Beograd, where there are bars and restaurants floating on the river. I can't believe the waters rose that much! I was so shocked when I saw what the flood caused in Serbia, BiH and Croatia on the news. This is terrible. I hope you and your family are safe!
This is a really beautiful picture. The clouds remind me of this painting by Frederic Edwin Church called "Twilight in the Wilderness." It's an amazing painting. You should look it up.
Lovely. Hope you make it through the floods safely!
beautiful shot!
The devil is coming.
Awesome shot.
Awesome shot.
Thank you
Fantastic photo! Good luck, Serbia.
Nicely done!

OKC Thunder: Kevin Durant's scoring race with Kobe Bryant comes down to the wire
It's come down to this.
After 65 games, the race for the 2011-12 scoring title is all up to one final contest each for Thunder forward Kevin Durant and Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant.
"Hopefully it's a fun one," Durant said of the final showdown. "That's what the fans want to see."
After scoring a game-high 32 points in Tuesday's 118-110 victory over Sacramento, Durant increased his narrow lead over Bryant to .11 points.
The actual averages are 27.97 points for Durant to Bryant's 27.86 points.
Bryant has the advantage of taking the floor last in a Thursday finale at Sacramento, while Durant and the Thunder close the season at home against Denver on Wednesday.
But if Durant scores less than 30, Bryant will have to top Durant's output by at least seven points. If Durant posts more than 30, Bryant must outscore Durant by at least six. The necessary differential would narrow more the more each player scores. The discrepancy is caused by Bryant playing seven fewer games. The scoring title is determined by scoring average.
"Kobe's an unbelievable scorer, man, and he's having a great season as well," Durant said. "If it happens, then it's cool. If not, then I'm not worried about it. I'm just going to go out there and play my game. I'm not going to force anything just so I can score more points than Kobe."
Durant, though, has a chance to join a short list of greats who have captured the scoring crown in three consecutive seasons. Michael Jordan accomplished the feat twice and was the last to do so with a stretch from 1995-98.
Only five others — Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Neil Johnston, Bob McAdoo and George Gervin — have done it.
Despite maintaining for weeks that a third straight scoring title isn't among his list of desired achievements, Durant did admit that it would be an honor to join that elite group.
"Who wouldn't? But I've always been a guy that never really talked about it," Durant said. "Of course it's in the back of your mind. We're coming down to the last few games of the season. Of course it'll be cool to win three in a row. But I can't really think about it too much. I don't want to take anything away from the team. It's all about being a part of this team."
At 23, Durant also would become the youngest player to ever win three straight scoring titles. But Durant said he rarely checks in on his historical exploits.
"I always told myself that once I'm done playing, that's when I'll reflect on what I've done individually," Durant said. "But with the technology today and Twitter, everybody tells me all the time how close I am to the scoring race and stuff like that. But I just try not to think about it. … Coming into the league, all I really wanted to do was become a player that everybody was going to remember once I'm done."
Durant continued.
"My goal by the time I'm done playing is to be a Hall of Famer," he said. "Hopefully I do that."
A third scoring straight scoring title for Durant en route to what is widely projected to be a promising career complete with multiple championships should do the trick.
But, of course, the best scorer of this generation gets the last at-bat. Bryant, though, claims he's not all that interested, calling it "not very important."
"You guys know I can get it," Bryant said. "I'm not really tripping about it."
Who among us believes that?
Not Durant.
"Nah, I don't believe him," Durant said. "That guy, he wants to be No. 1 at everything. I can tell. Just being around him a few times, he wants to be the guy in everything. So of course he cares about the scoring race. It's not a bad thing don't get me wrong because that's the competitive nature of a great player."
And what about Durant's competitive streak?
"Some things I've got to keep to myself and can't tell you guys," Durant smiled and said. "I'm the ultimate competitor. That's all I'll say."

He wanted a time machine. She wanted an adventure.
Thursday, July 2, 2015
- I have finally updated the broken link to the BTTF story When Worlds Collide, a collaboration with writer Mary Jean Holmes. I am not sure what happened to her website; it's been two years since I've heard from her (in spite of numerous attempts) and I've been worried for quite a while that something has happened to her. Last March, I believe, her website went dark without warning. I had copies on my hard drive of our story and the "forward" information on the page about it, so I carefully transferred that over to my website today. At some point I should take down the broken link to her dark website, but I suppose a part of me hopes it will come back as mysteriously as it went away. (And no, I cannot provide you files of her awesome BTTF stories that are no longer online. WWC was a collaboration and I'm part "owner" of it so I felt sharing the story on my website was acceptable; the other stuff is all her and hopefully, someday, it will be available again.) Finally, please note that WWC is also ONLY available as a downloadable PDF. Mary Jean allowed her work available only in that medium, and I am keeping with her wishes for that particular tale.
- I LIVE! But I haven't been writing much. In March, my husband and I had our first child, so that has been keeping me pretty distracted. Teaching full-time (when not on maternity leave) is another distraction. I've been slowly rereading the PIT books for the first time in years (or since publication in the case of a couple of 'em) so that's been interesting...I'm hoping once I finish that project I can come back to PIT6. Poor neglected story. But....
- ....Writer's Block is still a thing, unfortunately. I keep trying to thaw it out...hopefully someday it will so I can finish books and suchlike! I do miss writing very much: the process, the way it made me feel, the fictional characters. Everything. I'm trying to find a place for writing in my "new life," and I think once I do, it will come back.

Outlook 2013: Despite advances in technology, mission of higher education will stay the same, higher education chancellor says
Advances in technology will almost certainly change the face of higher education in Oklahoma over the next 20 years, the state's top higher education official said.
Despite that change, the mission of Oklahoma's colleges and universities will stay the same, he said.
Oklahoma higher education Chancellor Glen Johnson said he expects to see technology play a greater role in higher education over the next 20 years, both in online courses and in traditional, classroom-based classes.
As new technology becomes available, the model for delivering information to students will change, Johnson said. That change is already taking place, with colleges and universities across the state offering online-only classes and the growing popularity of massive open online courses, or MOOCs.
Johnson said he expects the same technology to be integrated into classroom-based courses in the coming decades.
Professors may incorporate content from MOOCs into their courses, he said, or they may use holographic imaging as a part of their lectures.
"It's going to be a much different learning model," he said.
Online courses also will play an important role, he said. Such courses allow students who aren't able to travel to a college campus for work or family reasons to pursue a college degree, he said.
Those classes help the state's higher education system reach so-called nontraditional students, or college students who don't go directly from high school to college, he said. Those students make up a growing share of the overall student population, he said, and that share will continue to grow as the state's college completion initiative progresses.
In 2010, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin called for an additional 20,400 degrees and certificates awarded in Oklahoma by the end of 2023. That goal is a part of Complete College America, a nationwide initiative designed to boost college completion.
That figure includes not only degrees awarded at public colleges and universities, but also degrees granted at private institutions and professional certifications from CareerTech centers.
Last year, officials announced public colleges and universities alone had awarded more than 1,900 more graduates during the 2011-12 academic year than during the previous year, surpassing the goal of 1,700 new degrees and certificates for public and private colleges and CareerTech centers.
Although the current initiative ends in 2023, Johnson said he expects degree completion will be an ongoing priority even after that date. As Oklahoma's economy progresses, the need for workers with college degrees will continue to grow, particularly in areas like allied health, engineering, aerospace and engineering, he said.
For Oklahoma's economy to be able to compete in those fields, Johnson said, it's important that the state has a well-qualified work force. And that means graduating more of its students from college — an area in which the state currently lags behind the nation overall.
"Our goal is not just to reach the national average. We want to exceed the national average," he said. "I see degree completion being a major issue."

Skip to comments.Gun sales increase across the state, nation
Posted on 04/14/2012 5:06:28 PM PDT by bgill
The trend is not only happening in Texas, but around the nation. The National Shooting Sports Foundation says 11 million firearms were sold in the U.S. in the last year. The FBI also conducted 16.5 million firearm background checks in 2011. That's nearly two million more than in 2010, and double the amount from 2001.
The big question is why? Store owners say gun sales typically increase during an election year, but this year there's more to it.
(Excerpt) Read more at kvue.com ...
Yep. I was in Walmart today and their ammo shelves were pretty bare.
Did snag a couple boxes of Federal 9mm FMJ for $12 a box.
These were at GT Distributors in Austin a while back. They are oriented to Law Enforcement, but sell to the public. Here is their werbsite-http://www.gtdist.com/Default.aspx
Some prices might be LEO only, I really don't know. They are also in Dallas and Rossville, GA.
Black powder weapons are highly underrated. The Navy Colt Model 1851 is a very powerful weapon. Buy 4 of them, they are hard to reload.
Yeah, the one up on 183. I also recently need something tiny to stick under my shirt. Ultra-light, polymer. Just a hair bigger than a Dillinger. Good delivery of .380.
I love black powder shooting but in reality, a winner will be decided before all the fancy brass is used up.
The new black powder rifled barrels are anything but primitive. They are accurate and can throw a huge chunk of lead at moderate velocities. They can run your whole day. But, they go bang about once a minute. That is not good enough to win.
Try to buy a thousand rounds of 223 each month. Buy a couple hundred rounds of 30/30 and 9 MM. Have a large stock of 22LR and 22 Magnum. Better buy now and stock up before the feds cut off the supply or its too late to buy (like when SHTF). Will probably pick up a couple more guns but only in the calibers that I stock the ammo for.
Did you happen to see if they had the Perry Coyote .380? I want one of those if available. I did not see one the last time I was at a sporting goods store. My BIL has one and it is so small and compact.
Look the nastiness will start with the fancy brass case ammo. But if you live long enough, when the ammo runs out, it might come down to knives and clubs. The ramrod beats those hands down.
When you have zombies, but don't feel like spending a mint on them. Comes with 2 mags.
All things that will get used, so I don't feel bad about the investment in preparedness.
Saw a nice S&W M57. May go back tomorrow and buy it.
You need to practice. You should be able to pull 4 a minute. Plus if you own bullet molds an old car battery has enough lead in it to make quite few bullets.
I'm thinking I want to be prepared when the SHTF.
Hey, just reading the replies to this thread. Our daughter has a friend / former college classmate whose family went from 30 - over 100 employees in the reloading equipment business since Nov 2008. That gal is now the IT specialist for the company.
One of my favorite guns of all time was a 6 inch model 57. I got it around 1986. I could never tell the difference between it and a model 29 but they say the .41 would hold up better to heavy shooting.
I traded it for more then it was worth but wish I still had it anyway. It was superbly accurate.
I found a SR 22 P I want to order the threaded barrel for it.
I don't want a silencer, just drive the BATF crazy looking for it.
>>The militia of today would have to fight like people of today. There wont be a lot of marching in formation going on.
Helmets, body armor, and LBE is necessary for marching?? I thought it was for protection and distribution of weight (i.e. water and magazines). Militia rarely do much marching anyway. That's the nature of the militia. But, they do need to move and not get wounded.
Yep..it's a great revolver. The one at the show is nickel, and I would much prefer blued, but apart from that, hmmmm. Going to sleep on it.
The Garands are coming but the M1 Carbines are not - because they have detachable mags - oh the horror.
CMP still has M1 Garands too.
One good reason:
It won't matter if they are hiding behind a tree.... even a big one.
Then of course there is the choice of Ball, AP, API, APIT, Incendiary & spotter/tracer ammo.
Has F&F resulted in any gun bans? Nope. It was nothing more than a criminal attempt by the Obama administration to engineer situations that would sway public opinion in favor for gun bans. Obama knows he can't enact gun control legislation otherwise. Americans won't have it. That Holder is not facing prison time for this is beyond comprehension.
If you want to see real gun control legislation, look to 1968, 1986 (Hughes Amendment) and 1994 --and even the 1994 AWB (that cost Democrats control of congress) was largely symbolic in that it grandfathered everything currently in circulation.
F&F doesn't even come close to these actual bans. F&F is nothing more than one of the many testaments to Obama's incompetence and failures of leadership (and that criminal charges aren't being aggressively pursued is further testament to the failures of congressional Republicans).
You don't go cheap when it's your life in danger. I spend five times that much annually taking training classes.
Plenty of great youtube videos on how to make your own flame thrower from easily acquired components.
how about a potato gun that can also accurately place a soda pop can on a target a few hundred meters? a soda pop can filled with .....
The .50 BMG is more like the weapon you want when you need to reach out there for a mile. There are a lot of cheaper ways to say hello at a thousand yards.
I have a few Sigs.
My favorite is a P226ST with over 20,000 rounds down the pipe (training mostly).
Get a good holster, mag carriers, a sturdy belt and get some professional training.
Don't forget to get a few mags for it. Eight is a good start... more is better.
Don't forget ammo.
Just went to one of the largest gun stores in the nation. They've been real busy lately and things keep on keeping busier. Supplies are once again getting reported in danger of becoming low due to demand. Manufacturers are making more and more but people are outpacing them with their buying.
Get it now before it gets scarce again I started buying it in large quantities when it was still cheap back in 2007.
Then I began t roll my own.
I can pump out about 400 rounds per hour.
"Ruger Suspends New Orders"
The companys retailer programs that were offered beginning the first of the year were so successful that through Feb. 29 the firm had received orders for more than a million firearms.
Ruger went right to work to increase production, but the pace of incoming orders exceeded their capacity to fill them. CEO Michael Fifer said the company expects to resume normal acceptance of orders by the end of May. In short, if theres a Ruger you want and its on the shelf of your local gun store, youd better go get it.
Well, you can always use it for indirect fire or AA purposes...
Thanks for helping me spit Taquitos all over the keyboard.
The .380 is for recent local water moccasin purposes. Not for going door-to-door!
I bit the bullet and bought my first Glock last Friday. It's a Model 17. It was a traumatic experience going to a plastic gun after having my 1911's, Browning High Power and Sig P226 for so many years. I decided the high price hardware could stay locked up safe at home and I would carry the plastic as my CCW piece.
Thanks for the tip. Bookmarked.
A disorganized mob cannot carry out a corrndated attack. That being said it is my understanding that it is the propose of the militia to defend their homes and not fight like regular professional solderer.
To instead rely heavily upon home field advantage and ambush. If you want to be of uses perhaps becoming better famalure with the natural military features of your area might be proodent and fun too if your into hiking.
I think its a mistake to think the gun banners are done. Its a religion for them and they won't give up.
If you have guns, the most important next purchase is ammo. I am advised that there will be a very large tax increase on ammo and reloading components coming our way soon. Right now I only have about 2000 or so rounds loaded up in a variety of different calibers. Remember when primers were hard to come by not oo long ago? Could happen with other components as well.

I like 380's. Small enough pistol to easily conceal carry and with hollow points rounds packs quite a bit of stopping power.
My wife carrys the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380. Good concealed carry weapon but a little hard to find.
>I hope you don't shoot .45ACP. They're going FAST!
I'm hoping to get a 20 gauge for my wife. I use 7.62, .38, and some others. I don't like .45 because I have to use both hands and if TSHTF, my other hand will be carrying something.
GOOD point.
The benefit of the .45 is that you only need one hit. :)
I'll have to go look that S&W .380 up. Thanks for the tip.
Price: S&W Bodyguard: $425. Taurus: $199.
Missed a detail.
The TCP offers 6+1 shots of .380 ACP or **8+1 shots with an included extended magazine**, durable polymer frame and low-profile fixed sights.
Thanks for those pics. I think my BIL has the Taurus .380 that he carries in his back pocket or boot.
