We West Virginians have a new Attorney General and he is on the record to fight the current administrations gun grabbing and health care policy. I think he will be a good one, even though the former Atty General was a supporter of 2A and got WV reciprocity with a number of other states. We need a strong supporter of 2A to keep it in place.
I think Wyoming has it right about our "rights."

Black dogs and cats are fabulous companion animals but they don't always have the best luck getting adopted from shelters, at adoption events or on line. For the fourth consecutive year, Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah is sponsoring "Back in Black" – a nationwide campaign dedicated to increasing awareness and adoptions of black cats and dogs. This year's campaign will run throughout the month of May.
Thousands of wonderful animals are waiting to be adopted at shelters and rescue groups across the country. Every day, over 9,000 animals are killed in shelters because they have no place to call home. Best Friends Animal Society and the Best Friends No More Homeless Pets Network partners are committed to saving them. Over 190 Network partners are participating in this special adoption promotion. Click here to find out if there is a participating group in your area.
Two of the reasons that black dogs and cats are often overlooked for adoption are bad photos and superstitions. Black dogs and cats are more difficult to photograph and therefore harder to advertise. Their eyes are close to the color of their fur and their facial expressions and personalities don't always come through in pictures. That's a real disadvantage since many adopters "meet" their new best friends online. Many shelters and rescue groups take extra steps when photographing black pets – changing the lighting, adding light colored blankets and backgrounds and dressing up the animals with colorful accessories. Additionally, there are longstanding negative stereotypes about black cats and dogs that simply are not true. Anyone who has a black pet can tell you about all the wonderful qualities their pet possesses and that they wouldn't trade them for anything.
Four Best Friends' No More Homeless Pets Network partners in Georgia are participating in the Back in Black adoption promotion in May and are offering reduced adoption fees on black pets throughout the month. Go to their websites to see the animals that they currently have available for adoption.
- Athens Area Humane Society in Watkinsville (reduced adoption fees)
- Fayette County Humane Society in Peachtree City (reduced adoption fees)
- Good Mews Animal Foundation in Marietta ($125 adoption fee reduced to $50 for black and black and white cats and each adopter gets a goodie bag)
- Sumter Humane Society in Americus (all black and nearly black dogs and cats are $50)
The cat pictured above is Champ from Good Mews Animal Foundation. Champ is an eleven year old male kitty who is friendly, outgoing and loves human companionship. Click here to find out more about Champ.

• Cerebrovascular accident is an inadequate blood supply to the brain due to ischemia or hemorrhage with resultant decreased oxygen supply and death of brain cells.
• It may also be classified as a brain attack or stroke.
Etiology: Atherosclerosis, venous thrombosis, embolic and small vessel diseases, hypercoagulopathies, and genetic predisposition.
Precipitating factors: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sickle cell disease, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypercoagulability, heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, oral contraceptive use, heart disease, physical inactivity, and atrial fibrillation. Nonmodifiable risk factors include African American ethnicity, increasing age, and male gender. Persons with a previous transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at increased risk for developing a CVA.
Signs and Symptoms: Dependent upon which area of the brain affected.
• Right side of brain
—Left side of body is affected.
—Right side of face is affected.
—Vision problem: left homonymous hemianopsia (loss of vision in the left half of the visual field in both eyes)
—Memory loss
—Problems recognizing faces
—Gets lost easily
—Short attention span
—Concrete thinking
—Left hemiplegia
—Left hemiparesis
—Altered sensation on left side
—Impulsive, inquisitive, uninhibited, and socially inappropriate behavior
—Verbal outbursts
—Left-sided neglect of body
—Impaired time and judgment
—Overestimation of own abilities with poor judgment regarding safety
• Left side of brain
—Right side of body is affected
—Left side of face is affected
—Right homonymous hemianopsia (loss of vision in the right half of the visual field in both eyes)
—Memory impaired for verbal and auditory stimuli
—Poor naming ability
—Right hemiplegia
—Right hemiparesis

—Reading comprehension impaired
—Agraphia (inability to write)
—Slow, cautious behavior
—Easily frustrated
—Disorganized in approach to new problems
—Depression and anxiety
—Impaired comprehension of language and mathematics concepts, difficulty telling left from right
Diagnosis: Usually based on clinical presenting symptoms, client history, and diagnostic tests. A CT is the primary diagnostic tool used to differentiate type of stroke, indicate size and location of the lesion, and guide treatment modality. MRI—to determine extent of brain injury, angiography for carotid artery imaging, transcranial Doppler (TCD)—to measure velocity of blood flow and assess for vasospasm in cerebral arteries. An EEG may be done to show brain wave activity and differentiate hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke. A lumbar puncture may be done if subarachnoid hemorrhage is suspected and CT is not definitive.
Treatment: Determined by type of stroke. Treatment is aimed at restoring blood flow to the brain, preventing further brain damage, and reducing disability.
• Drug therapy
—The following are utilized only for ischemic stroke.
■ Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), streptokinase, or urokinase to break down clots.
■ Anticoagulant therapy—warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, or low molecular weight heparin to increase time for blood to coagulate.
■ Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ticlopidine (Ticlid), clopidogrel (Plavix), and dipyridamole (Persantine) to inhibit platelet aggregation.
—Calcium channel blockers—nimodipine (Nimotop) to decrease and/or prevent vasospasm in hemorrhagic stroke.
—Antiseizure medication if seizure has occurred.
—Aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) for treatment of hyperthermia.
• Surgical treatment to remove cerebral hematoma due to hemorrhagic stroke. May include clipping, wrapping, or inserting microcoil in a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
Nursing Process Elements
• Assess for S&S of progression of disease.
• Cardiac/respiratory assessment and support during acute phase.
• Oral hygiene, swallowing assessment, and assessment for pocketing of food while client is eating.
• Oral and endotracheal suctioning.
• Monitor for aspiration pneumonia; keep head of bed elevated during and after feedings.
• Prevention of deep vein thrombosis—provide range of motion exercises, utilize compression stockings, and assess lower extremities.
• Assist with activities of daily living, turn client every 2 hours, and assist with ambulation. Keep high-top tennis shoes on client's feet; do not pull on affected limbs.
• Monitor urinary and bowel function.
• Assist family to understand the client's behavior.
• Assess need for referral for counseling.

Bruins Reach Tournament For 29th Consecutive Year -- UCLA earned its 29th consecutive and 39th overall NCAA Tournament berth by winning the Pac-12 Championship and earning a No. 13 seed in the tournament. UCLA's NCAA streak is the second-longest active streak in the nation behind Virginia (31 straight appearances), and the 39 NCAA appearances are second only to Saint Louis' 46. UCLA has an all-time NCAA Tournament record of 65-35 with national championships in 1985, 1990, 1997 and 2002.
In The Rankings -- UCLA finished the regular season ranked No. 4 by Soccer America and the NSCAA. The Bruins are also ranked No. 4 by both College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer. In the NCAA RPI, UCLA finished the regular season No. 12. Rutgers is ranked No. 13 by Top Drawer Soccer and finished No. 26 in the NCAA RPI. How They Got Here: UCLA -- UCLA received an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament after winning the Pac-12 Championship. The Bruins earned the No. 13 seed in the tournament by virtue of their 15-4-1 regular season record and undefeated 10-0-0 conference record. UCLA finished the regular season with five straight shutout wins and victories in 10 of its last 12 games.
How They Got Here: Rutgers -- Unseeded Rutgers advanced to the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament by defeating Colgate 4-2 in the first round at home and then upsetting fourth-seeded Boston College on the road in the second round. In their first match against Colgate, seniors Bryant Knibbs and Nate Bourdeau each contributed a goal while freshman Juan Pablo Correa added one of his own. Colgate also put in an own goal to give the Scarlet Knights the 4-2 win. In the second round against Boston College, the Scarlet Knights found themselves down 1-0 to the Eagles in the waning moments when senior Ibrahim Kamara put in a goal off of a corner kick in the 86th minute to score the equalizer for Rutgers. The two teams went through both overtime periods without scoring a goal and the game went to penalty kicks, where Rutgers prevailed 4-3 to move onto the Third Round. Correa and sophomore forward Kene Eze lead the Scarlet Knights in goals with six apiece while Correa leads the team in assists with five.
The Series With Rutgers -- UCLA leads the all-time series with the Scarlet Knights 5-1-1 and are 1-0 all-time against Rutgers in the NCAA Tournament. The two sides met in the 1990 NCAA Championship Game where UCLA prevailed 1-0 (4-3 on penalty kicks). Head Coach Jorge Salcedo converted the winning penalty kick to give the Bruins their second NCAA Championship in men's soccer. Rutgers nearly ended the match on a golden goal at the end of the first overtime, but defender Alexi Lalas's header hit the crossbar. UCLA is unbeaten against Rutgers in their last five meetings dating back to 1990.
Second Round Recap -- The Bruins advanced to the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament after defeating the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens 1-0 out at Drake Stadium in the second round. Chandler Hoffman scored the only goal of the match in the 84th minute when Ryan Hollingshead's cross deflected off a sliding Delaware defender and landed at Hoffman's feet, where he promptly sent the ball far post for his 16th goal of the season. The Bruin defense was also stout, as the back line of Patrick Matchett, Matt Wiet, Joe Sofia and Shawn Singh limited the Fightin' Blue Hens' chances and kept goalkeeper Brian Rowe from being seriously tested. This was UCLA's sixth straight shutout and the 10th time this year that they have shut out the opposition.
School-Record 11 UCLA Players Named to Pac-12 All-Academic Team -- An all-time program-best 11 UCLA men's soccer players were selected to the Pac-12 All-Academic teams earlier this week. Junior forward Chandler Hoffman and sophomore defender Joe Sofia earned first-team honors. Junior midfielders Ryan Hollingshead and Evan Raynr were named to the second team, and seniors Andy Rose, Brian Rowe and Shawn Singh, junior Matt Wiet, and sophomores Patrick Matchett, Kelyn Rowe and Reed Williams received honorable mention acclaim.
Defending Drake -- The Bruins hold a record of 14-4 in NCAA Tournament games at Drake Stadium, and are 87-15-14 all-time, good for a .810 winning percentage. Last season UCLA went 9-1-0 at Drake Stadium, including two wins in the NCAA 2nd and 3rd rounds. This season they are 7-2 at Drake and 3-0 at North Athletic Field. The Bruins began playing their home games full-time at Drake Stadium in 2000.
NCAA Experience -- 22 UCLA players have had at least one game of NCAA Tournament experience in their time at the school, including all 11 starters. Senior captain Andy Rose has the most Tournament experience out of this group, playing in eight NCAA games in his career. Chandler Hoffman leads the team in NCAA Tournament goals with five goals in seven games and also leads the squad with 11 points. Sophomore Reed Williams leads the team in assists with four assists in as many NCAA Tournament games. Senior goalie Brian Rowe has also played in three Tournament games for UCLA and has made 18 saves.The Bruins return all 11 starters from last year's team that made it all the way to the NCAA Quarterfinals. The team also made the NCAA Quarterfinal stage back in 2009.
Hoffman Keeps Scoring -- Chandler Hoffman has had a great season for UCLA so far, scoring 16 goals in his last 21 games for the Bruins and leading the team with 36 points. Earlier this season, he tied the UCLA record for consecutive games with a goal by scoring in five straight games and he has now scored an astounding 22 goals in his last 27 games as a Bruin. In addition, Chandler leads the Pac-12 in goals (16), goals per game (0.76), points (36) and points per game (1.71). Nationally, Hoffman is seventh in points scored, tied for seventh in goals, and is 14th in points per game and goals per game. Also, Chandler's 16 goals are the most by a UCLA player since Seth George scored 16 for the Bruins in 1997.

'It's My Blood Type': Gaffe Minister Goes Quickly
Gaffe. Apology. Resignation. It's a well-known mantra for Japanese politicians.

- Abe Speaks to Wrong U.S. President?
Ryu Matsumoto has outdone many of his predecessors, though: He's covered the ground from appointment in high expectation to departure in high drama in just over a week. It may be dubious, but it is something of a distinction for Japan's now former reconstruction minister: the second-fastest exit from the rotating ministerial cast in Prime Minister Naoto Kan's 13-month reign. The phlegmatic Shizuka Kamei quit his post as minister of financial and postal issues over policy differences after just three days in the first Kan administration in June 2010.
Mr. Matsumoto, who tendered his resignation to Mr. Kan Tuesday morning, has opted to step down just about 24 hours after a TV news clip did the rounds, showing the ex-minister lambasting the governor of Miyagi prefecture. At a meeting where the top official of one of the areas hardest hit by the March 11 disasters was due to brief Mr. Matsumoto on the latest in reconstruction progress, the governor instead got a tongue-lashing for daring to keep the former minister waiting.
In a news conference Monday hastily arranged in an attempt to explain away the weekend gaffe, Mr. Matsumoto said it's in his nature to be candid. In fact, he said, it's not just in his nature, it's in his blood, drawing on Japan's fascination for blood type as a character-defining trait.
"I'm a type B (blood type) and can have the tendency to be simplistic and straightforward at times," he said. "My intentions don't always come across perfectly. My wife called me earlier to point that out. I think I need to reflect on that."
As with the gaffe itself, Mr. Matsumoto's reasoning quickly picked up legs on Internet chat rooms and Twitter: Some wagging tweeters now jokingly assert the outgoing minister owes B-types an apology.
Beyond the bald facts, Mr. Matsumoto's swift adieu is no doubt calculated to remove a source of pressure on a government already facing fierce criticism domestically for perceived failings in efforts to reconstruct the ruined northeastern region. Those grumblings have grown, in fact, to the point where Mr. Kan himself last week finally confirmed he will resign after a package of key bills are passed: a second reconstruction budget, the renewable energy bill and bond-issuance bill.
Unlike Mr. Matsumoto, though, the prime minister isn't the type to rush his departure. He first suggested he'd resign over a month ago, and might be around for a few weeks more. But then again, Mr. Kan has type O blood – that's said to run through the veins of people who are deemed generous, outgoing, but dislike losing.
Whether it's in his genes, or just plain stubbornness, Mr. Kan's drawn-out retreat has already allowed him to stay on as prime minster for a year or more – a milestone that eluded the past four prime ministers.

SEATTLE - The teams are set for this year's running of the 28th anniversary of the Windermere Cup, the annual spring rowing event on the Montlake Cut that signifies Opening Day for boaters in Seattle. The world championship caliber senior crews of the Great Britain National Team will join the Huskies out on the Cut, with races beginning at 10:20 a.m. PT on Saturday, May 3.
The event is held in conjunction with the Seattle Yacht Club and is sponsored by Seattle-based Windermere Real Estate, the largest regional real-estate company on the West Coast. Last year tens of thousands of fans lined the Cut and packed the Montlake Bridge to see the Huskies sweep all four races for the second consecutive year. The free event has become one of the largest sporting events in the area, connecting the Seattle community to the sport.
"Opening day of boating and the Windermere Cup are a rite of passage for spring in Seattle," said OB Jacobi, president of Windermere Real Estate. "We look forward to it every year and are so proud to have this 28-year-long partnership with the University of Washington and Seattle Yacht Club."
The Windermere Cup Regatta began in 1987 when the World Champion Soviet Union crews came to race as part of the community's effort to highlight the unique racing venue the Montlake Cut offers rowing. This year the races will get back to their roots of hosting one international team after hosting two teams for the last several years.
"We want to encourage the very best teams to come race in the Pacific Northwest and Windermere's sponsorship has allowed us to do that," said men's head coach Michael Callahan. "We're really excited to have such a high caliber team coming to race us."
The 2014 Windermere Cup continues the tradition of attracting premier rowing teams to Seattle for this special event. The crews coming from across the pond won more medals at the 2012 London Olympics than any other team and have since had brilliant showings at World Cups and World Championships.
"Over the years it's always been the goal of Windermere and the University of Washington to get the best level of competition here for the Windermere Cup," said head women's coach Bob Ernst. "This year we have definitely achieved that. Great Britain has the best National and Olympic rowing Team in the world, winning more Olympic medals in London than any other country, and we are honored to have a team of this caliber coming to Seattle to race our Huskies. We have not faced a team this good since the Soviets visited here in the very first Windermere Cup in 1987!"

Windermere Real Estate is ranked the largest regional real estate company in the Western U.S. with over 300 offices and 7,000 agents serving communities in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Mexico.
Windermere's heritage of supporting collegiate crew racing began in 1987, when the company sponsored the first annual Windermere Cup regatta in Seattle. More than 800 athletes a year from around the world come to Seattle to participate in the Windermere Cup title races. Held in partnership with the University of Washington and the Seattle Yacht Club, the Windermere Cup has become one of the largest community events in Seattle, welcoming national and international crew teams for exciting competition while commencing the official opening day of boating season for the waters of the Puget Sound.

Today's review marks some firsts for me. Michel Cluizel, a famous french chocolate maker and chocolatier, was one of the first great chocolates I ever had the pleasure of tasting as I began my journey as a candy enthusiast. Along with that, I experienced many tasting firsts with his work: first "dark" milk chocolate, first single origin chocolate, and my first taste of a 99% chocolate.
I first had 99% truffle back in 2007 at the New York City Chocolate show. It was such a new things for me back them, and it was one of things I was most excited about discovering that day. I only had it once more after that, before discovering this beautiful tasting box of course, and that was when Michel Cluizel had a small chocolate shop in the back of ABC Carpets in New York.
Now, I was lucky enough to find a box of the 99% and the 85% truffles in a recent trip into Philadelphia. The box is gorgeous and slick with a matte black surface and white lettering. It describes itself as "Tasting box 8 ganaches dark chocolate" which is translated from the french written above it. What's cool about this find is that it has a list on ingredients on the back, so I know exactly what makes these intense chocolate a complete masterpiece. Listed, is cocoa, cane sugar, anhydrous butter, cocoa butter, cream, sorbitol syrup and honey, coloring agents, whole milk powder, ginger, bourbon vanilla pod, spices. Unfortunately, it doesn't separate the ingredients for the 99% and the 85% pieces. Interesting.
Th texture of these is just incredible. I haven't really experiences a smoother and more rich ganache than these, unless of course you get them a few hours' fresh. They're velvety smooth and very thick on the tongue. You do sense the difference from the shell and the creamy interior, but they quickly melt together in the mouth, leaving a very seamless experience.
The flavors are bitter, but the butter and cream really cut it so it's more enjoyable that you'd first think. I know 99% sounds very daunting! The 99% has acidic fruity notes, while still giving a full chocolatey taste. The 85% is milder with more caramel notes mixed with berries, it's still a dark chocolate, but it's a little creamier and sweeter.
These are terribly luxurious, and even though they are little works of chocolate art, I can't see myself buying them with any regularity. It has nothing to do with the quality of the product, which is superb, but more because of availability of funds and finding the product again.

I guess your asking what character you will be shown next. Well, the artist is "itsyuthegreat" and he shows us all "how to draw Black Star" in a semi-speed drawing can coloring. I say semi-speed because although the drawing is done faster then normal, it's not too fast where you can't even follow what the artist is doing. In all I think you will like watching this video tutorial on "how to draw Black Star".

Cool Roofing
Reflective Coatings Makes Foam Roofing Even Cooler
People who live in tropical climates usually wear light-colored or white clothing to help keep themselves cool. They know that light colors reflect heat and sunlight; whereas dark colors absorb heat and light. Buildings are similar to people. If you have a dark-colored roof, your building will be hotter than if it had a light-colored roof. Dura-Foam Roofing systems have Cool Roof Coatings that will effectively shield your property from exposure to sunlight.
Cool Roofs reduce the roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit!
Dura-Foam Roofing Applies Cool Roof Coatings
The top layer of the Dura-Foam Roofing System is a Cool Roof coating. This material very effectively reflects the sun's energy from the roof surface. White is the most common color, but tan and light gray colors are often used in hill areas where roof surfaces are more visible from neighboring properties. Our Cool Roofs also have high emissivity, allowing them to emit infrared energy.
Cool Roof Coatings Reflect Heat
Cool Roofs reduce the roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thereby reducing the heat transferred into the building below. This helps to reduce energy costs (by keeping attics and ducts cooler), improve occupant comfort, cut maintenance costs, increase the life cycle of the roof, and reduce urban heat islands along with associated smog.
Cut Your Expenses: Foam Roofing + Cool Roof Coatings
During months that require cooling, customers with air conditioned buildings typically find their energy bills drop by 30% to 60% after installing foam roofing with cool roof coating. Dura-Foam customers without air conditioning report 10° to 20°F cooler indoor temperatures on hot summer days (see testimonials).

Somewhat retired NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler will climb back behind the wheel of a NASCAR Nationwide Series entry when the series visits Bristol (Ten.) Motor Speedway on Aug. 22 and heads to his home state of Virginia on Sept. 5 for a race at Richmond International Raceway. He'll drive the No. 19 Toyota entry for TriStar Motorsports. The car will be sponsored by the Virginia Lottery. Sadler has been an ambassador for the Virginia Lottery for more than 15 years.
"I am thankful to my friends at the Virginia Lottery and to (car owner) Mark Smith and his staff at TriStar Motorsports for making this happen," Sadler said. "Getting to race again at two of my favorite tracks, as well as promote some once in a lifetime opportunities from the Virginia Lottery, is exciting for me."
The race at Bristol will be Sadler's first Nationwide race since 2010. He made three Nationwide starts that year, two at Richmond and one at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He finished 32nd and 36th at the two Richmond races. In all, Sadler has 259-career Nationwide starts to his credit, resulting in two wins, 18 top-fives and 44 top-10 finishes. Sadler competed full-time in the Nationwide Series for six seasons between 1993 and 1998. He made his series debut in 1992 and competed in at least one race per season through 2004. He was absent from the Nationwide Series after that until his three starts in 2010.
Sadler's most recent NASCAR national-level start came in 2012 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. He finished 31st while driving a No. 33 Chevrolet owned by Joe Falk.
Aside from racing, in recent years, Sadler has worked as a TV commentator on NASCAR-related programming for SPEED Channel (now-FOX Sports 1), a wrestling promoter for TNA and UWF, a personality on a the Big Show With John Boy and Billy nationally-syndicated radio show, and on philanthropic efforts supporting autism and breast cancer research and awareness.

On Feb. 28, Leah posted a photo on her Twitter account which read, "They say never date a woman with kids, but nothing is more attractive than seeing a single mother who is in school full-time, got two or three jobs, and doing whatever is possible so her kids can have the best."
Since Leah is married, and not in school, nor working any jobs, it seemed odd that she would tweet something like this if her and Jeremy were doing fine. So, immediately, fans wondered if she and Jeremy were heading for divorce.
Moments before, Leah told fans she was "so happy for her future," as if something big were about to happen in her life.
Earlier in the week, Leah had further hinted that she and her husband could be calling it quits.
On one evening, Leah had written, "Never let someone change who you are and who you wanna be!"
Then, when someone asked her if she and Jeremy were divorcing, she advised them to ask him. "You can ask Jeremy," she said.
As for Jeremy, he has been on Twitter here and there to re-tweet fans, but hasn't tweeted himself since Feb. 19.

The moment a 16-year-old girl is punched to the ground in an unprovoked attack is caught on CCTV as police appeal for information.
10:34, UK, Wednesday 21 November 2012
Video of a 16-year-old girl being knocked unconscious in an unprovoked street attack has been released by police.
CCTV footage shows the assailant approach the victim from behind before punching her so hard she falls over, hitting the pavement face-first.
Police are appealing for information after the teenager was followed from her home by her attacker, who struck without warning outside the Black Lion pub in Plaistow High Street, east London.
Scotland Yard described the suspect as black and muscular, wearing a black baseball jacket and jeans, with a shaven head and aged between 25 and 30.
A Metropolitan police spokesperson said: "At about 12.30pm on November 13, a male suspect followed a 16-year-old girl from her home address for approximately 500 metres.
"When he was near the Black Lion public house, he ran up behind her and threw a punch to her head.
"This was an unprovoked attack. The victim fell to ground and was unconscious."
After the assault, the suspect turned around and jogged back towards Green Gate Street.
The girl was taken to hospital and released with cuts and bruises later that day.
:: Anyone with information should contact Newham Violent Crime Unit on 020 8217 5890 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

After about 14 years away from shooting I'm looking at getting back into it with my Browning Buck Mark .22 Pistol. Several reasons have gotten me back interested in shooting: after having microfracture knee surgery I was told I would have to give up playing tennis and running (2 of my loves) and I've become addicted to watching Duck Dynasty...but more importantly I've grown to miss the thrill of it.
Anyway since it's been at least 14 years since I last fired my Buck Mark I'm sure there have been plenty of changes (or maybe not) to ammo and possibly gun care.
Can anyone recommend reasonable quality ammo for plinking (and relearning 'how to shoot') at a great price?
Some I've seen on a website for a local store are: Federal Champion Solid $1.99 (50), Windchester Wildcat $1.99 (50), CCI Quiet $2.99 (50), Federal Premium Game Shok $3.99 (50), CCI Stinger $5.99 (50), Winchester Super-X Lead Round-Nose $6.79 (100), Remington Yellow Jacket HP $7.99 (100).
I'm sure there are many other brands/types but again, just looking for something that is dependable (as far as firing and quality) and cheap.
Also, what components/items do I need to properly clean my gun (definitely want to give it a good cleaning before I attempt shooting it again) and keep it in tip top shape?
I'm not very knowledgeable about guns in general so the more specific about the clothes/oil/rod/brushes/solvents/etc would help me a great deal.
I'm happy to say my Buck Mark .22 looks practically brand new and people here have told me that it is a quality and accurate gun so that makes me even more excited about getting back ot there shooting again.
I appreciate all the help you can provide!

Volleyball Magazine has voted incoming UCLA men's volleyball recruit Jake Arnitz the Class of 2014's top recruit. Arnitz, who attended Esperanza High School (Anaheim, Calif.), will join coach John Speraw's Bruin program this fall. This past season, Esperanza captured the CIF-Southern Section Division II championship. In 2013, Arnitz, a 6-5 hitter, was selected as Volleyball Magazine's Boys' High School Player of the Year.
Volleyball Magazine also released its annual Volleyball Boys' Fab 50, which highlights the top 50 senior boys' youth talents in the country and is voted on by a panel of NCAA Division I-II men's college coaches. In addition to Arnitz, future Bruins Christian Hessenauer and Eric Matheis, both products of Dana Hills High School, were listed among this year's top-50. Hessenauer is a 6-6 opposite and Matheis is a 6-3 setter. Also on the list is 6-2 hitter/setter J.T. Hatch from the state championship runner-up team at Mesa, Arizona High School.

A Spokan sheriff is telling his deputies that they are not allowed to have sex on duty. You would think you did not have to tell the people who work for you this kind of thing but obviously he had to explain the rules to them. MSN News shared how he had to explain this rule to his employees.
He recently had to fire a deputy for doing this and now that deputy was able to win his job back in arbitration because it wasn't spelled out exactly. He put out a new memo that says, "sex on duty is a breach of the public trust and a breach of the sheriff's office code of ethics, core values and officer safety."
There is no information on what exactly happened to get the deputy fired. Now he has his job back but he won't be having sex on duty anymore if the sheriff in Spokane, Washington has his way about things. At least it is spelled out now and that should make it where if he fires someone again they will be able to make the firing stick.

Almost everyone in the Eastern part of the United States has seen a Wooly Bear, a fuzzy black and rust colored caterpillar, usually in the fall. They are said to forecast the type of winter we will have by the amount of rust color they wear but that is a folk tale that doesn't have merit. (The wider the rust color band, the milder the winter.) Each wooly (or woolly depending on your regions spelling), caterpillar in the environment will have slightly different coloration and there are several species of Tiger Moths, the adult form of the caterpillar, in most areas and each species may have slightly different caterpillar coloration. The Isabella Tiger moth (Pyrrharctia Isabella) is the most common and is found all the way to the artic.
But the wooly bear caterpillar does have a fascinating life cycle. The ones we see in the fall may be a second or third generation of Tiger Moths that year but as the cold weather comes the fall generation will prepare to hibernate overwinter- not as a cocoon or pupae as many moths and butterflies do but as a caterpillar in suspended animation. They are crawling around looking for a layer of leaves or mulch to hide under in the fall. They may sometimes wander into homes looking for a place to hibernate, but they will not do any harm.
Once they have a winter home the wooly bear is prepared to freeze. Its heart almost stops pumping and its body produces an anti-freeze like substance to protect the organs and brain. The caterpillar can freeze solid and still be alive. In the spring the wooly caterpillar will thaw and come to life. He'll eat leaves for a few days or weeks depending on his size, and then he will turn into a pupae somewhere in litter on the ground. It will emerge about a month later as a pretty, 2 inch yellow-tan moth with black spots on the wings.
Wooly bear caterpillars normally have black head and rear areas with a rust colored band in the middle. The width of the band varies considerably and some caterpillars can be all black or rust colored also. They are called "wooly" because they are covered with stiff hairs that make them appear fuzzy. The caterpillars are pretty indiscriminate feeders and feed on a wide range of vegetation including maples, birches, thistles, sunflowers and clover. They rarely do much damage and don't need control. The hairs on the caterpillar can cause a mild dermatitis on some people if handled but the main defense the wooly bear caterpillar has is to play dead.
Isabella moths fly at night and eat a little nectar if anything at all. The moth only has a few days to mate and produce eggs. She lays her eggs on a wide variety of trees and other plants including maples, thistles and dandelions. The tiny wooly caterpillars that hatch use a "balloon" made out of a strand of silk to float from plant to plant at first. Later they simply crawl from plant to plant. They go through six changes of skin as they grow to about 2 inches long. With each change of skin the color will also change. When they are large and full enough of leaves they will turn into a pupae and start the process over, unless it is cold.
In the Artic it can take several years of freezing and thawing before the wooly caterpillar has grown enough to make a pupae and turn into a moth. In more southern areas there can be two or three generations of the moth, with the last one surviving through winter. So when you find the wooly caterpillars as you clean your garden in the spring you can marvel at how the little bugger made it through the winter.

I came to Kenya for 3 months out from the fashion scene in Barcelona. I found I liked it & so stayed 3 years as head of Mission for MSF. At the end of that time I was frustrated by emergency aid and thought I could use my fashion skills to do trade instead of aid . I aimed to produce through community groups in rural Kenya, generating employment. The concept for a contemporary African clothing brand came from the lack of availability of Kenyan ready-made designer products and the lack of pride I saw in the local culture and anything African. So KikoRomeo, meaning Adam's Apple in swahili, was born to fill these gaps.Read More. . . .

"Anchorman" director Adam McKay is set both helm and adapt the screenplay for a film adaptation of "Moneyball" and "The Blind Side" author Michael Lewis' 2010 book "The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine" for Paramount Pictures and Plan B.
The book deals with the housing and credit bubble and where the economic downturn truly began - "the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts" according to the book's synopsis.
Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner will produce the film aims to take the often jargon-furled and convoluted world of finance and turn it into a darkly comic tale.

As CNS News reported Thursday, "the Obama White House says it found 'zero emails' between Lois Lerner and the president's office."
The IRS informed Congress only last Friday that emails to and from Lerner were gone because of a computer crash.
The missing emails -- an unknown number -- include Lerner's communications with other federal agencies.
Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner's crashed hard drive has been recycled," Politico reported Thursday, "making it likely the lost emails of the lightning rod in the tea party targeting controversy will never be found, according to multiple sources."
Curiously, as The Daily Caller reported Sunday, "the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cancelled its longtime relationship with an email-storage contractor just weeks after ex-IRS official Lois Lerner's computer crashed and shortly before other IRS officials' computers allegedly crashed."
Sonasoft was providing "automatic data processing" services for the IRS throughout the January 2009 to April 2011 period in which Lerner sent her missing emails.
But Sonasoft's six-year business relationship with the IRS came to an abrupt end at the close of fiscal year 2011, as congressional investigators began looking into the IRS conservative targeting scandal and IRS employees' computers started crashing left and right.
According to its website:
The world's leading companies rely on Sonasoft products to secure their operational data. Sonasoft's award winning disaster recovery software for Microsoft Servers: SonaVault, SonaExchange, and SonaSQL is known for ease of use and reliability for email archiving, backup, recovery, replication and migration needs.
"Sonasoft's email archiving solutions include the process of systematically recording and saving copies of email correspondence for record keeping and documentation purposes," Sonasoft explains, describing its "Email Archiving Solutions" service.
"Email has been growing at the rate of 40% every year and managing emails has become very complex," Sonasoft also explains of the "importance of Sonasoft's email archiving solutions."
Microsoft Exchange Server is not only being used as an email server, it is also being used as a document repository and management system. Businesses are being increasingly asked to retrieve emails during litigation. Also companies need to comply with regulatory compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. According to Sarbanes-Oxley, public companies must keep all documents and communications for seven years following an audit. The penalties for destroying or altering a document can include fines of up to $5 million and imprisonment for up to 20 years. Hence, Email is becoming the Achilles heel of document and records management.
Companies are scrambling to implement data email archiving solutions to avoid litigation and to manage the growth of their Exchange servers. A good email archiving solutions system should ensure that companies have ready access to email records, whenever it is required. Also, the application should be able to manage exponential increase in the size of Microsoft Exchange servers.
According to PublicContractors.com, the "total value of purchase orders" for Sonasoft in government contracts – primarily for services provided to the Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service -- is $82,350.42.
"We did in fact do a search for all communications between Lois Lerner and any person within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) for this period," CNS News quoted White House Spokesman Jay Carney telling reporters Wednesday, in response to a request from the House Ways and Means Committee.
"Sonasoft's Email Archiving solution, SonaVault, is designed to meet regulatory compliance needs of organizations," the company further explains of the "affordable email archiving solutions from Sonasoft."
SonaVault Email Archiving systems will capture all incoming, outgoing and internal emails and store them in archive databases as a Single Instance Store (SIS). Also, by use of optional stubbing feature, message contents including attachments will be saved in the archive database and leave behind an empty shell of the message, namely stub in the body of the email.
"Alternatively," Sonasoft explains further, "messages can be completely deleted from users [sic] mailbox and users can access archived emails through SonaVault Web Console."
This approach will reduce the size of the Exchange server by up to 90%. SonaVault Email Archiving Software solution supports Exchange Server 2000, 2003, 2007 and 2010. SonaVault the best email archiving solutions you can get employs reliable safeguards, including encryption to ensure that the email is tamper-proof and cannot be altered. This email archiving solution gives the ability to migrate all existing PST file data into the archive repository. This enables organizations to eliminate PST files proliferation across the enterprise, thus resulting in better email management.
"We found zero emails, sorry to disappoint, between Lois Lerner and anyone within the EOP during this period," CNS News further quoted Carney telling reporters Thursday.
We found three emails where a third party emailed both Lois Lerner and officials within the EOP. One was a spam email, and two others were from a person seeking tax assistance. Each of these emails has been produced to Congress.
However, while the White House may be unable to find more than "three emails," three obvious questions remain unanswered:
- Were the "messages" sent from Lerner's IRS computer "throughout the January 2009 to April 2011 period in which Lerner sent her missing emails" – which may have been "completely deleted from users [sic] mailbox" -- "archived"?
- If so, can those "archived" emails still be accessed through" the "SonaVault Web Console"?
- Why did the IRS cancel "its longtime relationship with an email-storage contractor just weeks after ex-IRS official Lois Lerner's computer crashed and shortly before other IRS officials' computers allegedly crashed"?
