The Perkin-Elmer Model 21 was designed as the first linear wave-number versus transmittance recording spectrophotometer. This particular instrument was built in 1952 at the original Perkin-Elmer factory in Glenbrook, Connecticut, and was purchased by the American Cyanamid Company in Stamford, Connecticut, in 1952.
Spectrophotometers determine the composition of a solution (or the concentration of certain substances within a solution) by measuring how the solution absorbs a particular wavelength of light. By varying the wavelengths in each measurement, one can take a spectrum of a solution and ascertain the composition. More advanced spectrophotometers can measure beyond the visible spectrum, providing readings for ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.

First impressions can be among the most important moments in any encounter. It's a shame that in the case of Nier this means many people will get a bad idea of what the game has to offer. At a glance, you may feel like you've just started a budget title from 2005. Not that it looks bad, it just tends to stand out in an era where dazzling visuals are a given in most decent games.
It opens with a prologue set in a crumbling city, where a desperate father (Nier) is protecting his sick daughter (Yonah). After battling waves of shadowy monsters, the game jumps to approximately 1,300 years later — which is initially confusing, considering the characters haven't aged. Roughly 20 minutes into the story and we'd already taken a baffling turn into left field.
By this point in Earth's future, civilization has been reduced to a few settlements and scientific knowledge has gone largely forgotten. Nier and Yonah are now living in a small town, where Nier helps the townsfolk by taking on small jobs and protecting them from monsters known as 'Shades'. Seeing his daughter's illness getting worse by the day, Nier decides he has no option but to actively search for a cure.
While the combat is of the standard action-RPG sword and magic type, it's not long before we get to see the game's main asset. Visiting each new location in the search presents an encounter with new stylistic elements. The camera view will occasionally shift, transforming the game to isometric action, side-scrolling or even a top down twin-stick shooter. Some of the stronger Shades and Boss enemies have powers modeled after 'bullet hell' shooters, with swirling waves of deadly projectiles obscuring not only safety, but sometimes even the enemy itself. That's only about half of the creative presentation on hand and telling more would surely spoil the surprises.
While it would be easy to say that the ever-changing style is merely dressing, it actually does work as a narrative device. From the start, the story is steeped in memory, tales, books, words — even the illness plaguing the land creates swirling symbols on the skin. So it feels natural to have the game world itself stretch through many stylistic permutations.
Along the way Nier crosses paths with a small, but interesting cast of companions. Grimoire Weiss is a talking book that supplies Nier with magic abilities, and whose biting sarcasm carries with it an amusing sophistication. For much of the early game, he steals many scenes.
Kaine is the kind of character who seems built to be the fan favorite. She's a scantily clad sword fighter, with a vulgar mouth — and it never feels gratuitous or forced. Whether she's dropping F-Bombs or stringing together lesser vulgarities, it sounds natural coming from her. For this, I applaud the translation team.
Rounding out the main three is Emil, a mysterious boy whose secrets I won't reveal, as any details could really spoil the story. What is worth pointing out is that we're offered a young character whose dialogue isn't excruciating to listen to — once again thanks to the excellent translation.
The game world, though varied, is not very big. This creates a double edged sword. While it's great that you'll never get lost nor spend too long getting to your destination, it also means there aren't a lot of different locations. Coupled with the fact that most of the enemies are one of a few standard Shades, some may find running through this handful of locations a bit repetitious.
Another potential problem is that the side quests are mostly pointless endeavors. Some of them are meaningful, entertaining, and even quite funny. More times than not, the reward doesn't justify the time it takes to complete the task. So if you're not enjoying the quest for it's story element, it'll end up feeling like you've been taken advantage of by the quest giver. Which is a shame, considering Nier's desire to help the people he meets.
Fortunately, it doesn't get a chance to become too repetitive, as the game is on the shorter end by console RPG standards (20-30 hours). Upon completion, you'll be able to experience an interesting version of 'new game plus'. Continuing from the endgame's save offers the second half of the story with additional cut scenes, providing back story for other characters, and perspective from the Shades themselves.. If you like the story enough, don't overlook this. Some of my favorite moments happened in the second time through, where certain scenes gained entirely new context.
Nier is a difficult game to pin down. What we end up with is a weird, melancholy story that might be a bit sloppy — but it's full of surprises and will likely do good amount of things you'd never expect. I can't predict if you'll enjoy it, though I'm willing to bet you've never played anything like it.
Things We Liked: There's an actual difficulty setting in this RPG! Subsequent playthroughs offer more depth to the story. Beautiful soundtrack that's worth listening to outside the game. Great translation (by 8-4) makes the English dialogue sound more natural than most JRPGs. Astonishing surprises show up often.
Things We Disliked: Small game world means revisiting locations. Side quests are time consuming with little payoff. Fishing side quests are tedious. Overly simple puzzles expose a missed opportunity.
Target Audience: Fans of action RPGs looking for something unique. Those who think JRPGs have nothing new to offer.

How do I get both my PCs connected to the modem on the other end of the house. The 2 PCs are next to each other and the Ethernet cable is just enough to connect the PCs together. Only one of the PCs has working wireless connection.
as root
you could copy and paste that into the end of the file, but i think it's better to understand it
and the eth0 interface with a static ip of 192.168.254.1 would be a pretty reasonable setup
sudo service dhcp3-server restart
change any pertinent firewall rules - adding the following lines to the end of rc.local should do it to enable nat on next boot
/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
I have a shell script that does this for me on startup
depending on the cards, the cable might need to be a crossover cable
one additional note, for ip_forward to be set at boot time edit /etc/sysctl.conf
a more in depth tutorial is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713874

Bireli Lagrene: All the Things You Are
All the Things You Are
Bireli Lagrene (guitar)
Acoustic Moments (Blue Note CDP 7 92563 2)
Bireli Lagrene (guitar),
Koono (keyboards), Loic Pontieux (drums), Simon Pomara (percussion).
Composed by Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein.
Recorded: Paris, July 1990
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
Bireli Lagrene could easily have been typecast as "that Gypsy guitarist who sounds like Django." After all, he was winning praise and international contests for his Django-like playing before he was even a teenager. But he was an artist who wanted to reach beyond his knowledge. After meeting such jazz greats as Larry Coryell and Jaco Pastorius, he went jazz-fusion. Yet another side of Bireli is heard on the standard "All The Things You Are."
While Lagrene is at home with the total jazz repertoire, his acoustic playing retains an undeniable Gypsy element. On this cut he goes acoustic, but thanks to Koono's electric keyboards the piece has a modern jazz-rock feel. Lagrene's swing and seamless improvising would sound great at the Hot Club or at any other club in any era.

Canada's manufacturing sector has seen better days.
A recent decision by Caterpillar to shutter a construction equipment plant in Windsor, Ontario is the latest sign that a strong currency and high labour costs are taking their toll on the manufacturing sector.
Worse still for Canadian manufacturing is that it's suffering a different fate than its North American counterparts.
"No question there is a bit of a manufacturing boom going on in North America right now, unfortunately Canada is not participating in that manufacturing boom," Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Chrysler Canada, tells BNN. "A lot of it is occurring in the United States and Mexico."
Bigland says Canadian manufacturing is being hurt by a number of factors, not just a strong currency and labour costs.
"It's beyond labour," he says. "Labour is certainly a component, [there is also] infrastructure, trade policies, taxes and of course the currency that are all challenges and are adversely effecting our competiveness today."

|[[Appearance::The Ballad of Gay Tony]]
|Vehicle type
|Light-class attack helicopter
The Buzzard is a small attack helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto IV's The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC. In a special report by Weazel News, the Buzzard is considererd an illegal attack helicopter, but the LCPD wont really put an effort into stopping a Buzzard until it fires on a police officer.
Similarly armed with machine guns as the Annihilator, as well as additionally featuring missile pods, the Buzzard is evidently based on an AH-6 Little Bird, an attack variant of the MH-6 Little Bird light observation helicopter, which in turn is a military version of the OH-6 Cayuse and the MD 500C. It's important to note that the Buzzard has the old style tail stabilizer, characteristic of the MD-500C and its corresponding defender/AH/MH-6 counterparts.
As mentioned above, the Buzzard is based off of a military class light attack helicopter. This makes it illegal, at least in Liberty City. It holds two people and is equipped with two high-powered miniguns and rockets. Miniguns on the Buzzard are much more effective than those on the Annihilator - they have a much faster rate of fire, a narrower spread, and are fired both simultaneously, unlike the Annihilator which only fires one gun at a time. However, they do considerably less damage then the Annihilators guns. They also never overheat, which allows for continuous fire. The Buzzard's weakness is bubble canopy and lack of bulletproof glass, which make danger to pilot and passenger by firing heavy weapons at them like M249 or Explosive Shotgun.
According to in-game speech, the Buzzard that Luis Fernando Lopez intended to steal for Yusuf Amir was a prototype, meaning there's possibly only a single one in existence. The same stolen one was later repainted gold , by Yusuf - this difference would be first recognized during the mission Not So Fast where Luis must use it to land on the roof of the Libertonian. LCPD will call it 'a black/gold helicopter', which is depented by which version Luis uses - the black one acquired by cheats or golden from Yusuf. The reason for it is the helicopter being only one of its kind.
- Machine Guns — A Button (Xbox 360) X Button (PS3) Left Shift (PC)
- Rockets — X Button (Xbox 360) Square Button (PS3) LMB (PC) (Note: The player should NOT use rockets at a low altitude with a sharp trajectory as the detonating rocket can destroy the helicopter and kill the player.)
- Due to their similar design, before the name was revealed many fans believed or speculated that it was the Sparrow.
- Due to the Buzzard's easy maneuverability and rapid-fire armaments, many players online and offline have became very skilled in using this helicopter's weaponry.
- Contrary to popular belief, Yusuf's Buzzard is gold painted, not gold plated, as the weight of the gold would make takeoffs very difficult.
- In a one-on-one dogfight with a Annihilator, in the hands of skillful pilots, it can destroy them in a single, well fired rocket. A tip for dogfighting with other helicopters is to fly higher than the opposing player(s), forcing them to pitch upwards, hindering their control over the heli, giving you an advantage. Another idea is that when dogfighting with an Annihilator, stay out of range of its guns. The Buzzard's guns have a longer range than the Annihilator, so as long as you keep your distance, destroying them should be easy.
- The Buzzard can elevate slightly higher than other helicopters in the GTA series.
- The name "Buzzard" may be a reference to Buzzard 1, a named helicopter from the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mission Reuniting the Families.
- Firing the guns and missiles will not gain you a wanted level at all if no one is hurt in the process.
- Yusuf Amir gives his gold Buzzard to the player as a gift after completing the game. It will be then available at the helipad beside the golf club on the West River. It replaces the Swift there.
- Can be spawned via cheat code, by dialing the number: 359-555-2899 ("FLY"-555-"BUZZ").
- A black one can be obtained without cheats. After destroying the boats in Sexy Time, land the black Buzzard on a road. Get into a car or bike, and drive away from it but keep the camera fixed on the Buzzard. After you have failed the mission, reverse and it will be there.
- In multiplayer, there are multiple locations where Buzzards can be found:
- The first two can be found at Francis International Airport on the helipads.
- One can be found at the heliport in southern Algonquin.
- One can also be found at a dock next to the parking garage in eastern Algonquin.
- Finally, one can be found at the yacht (not sunk in multiplayer) just south of Acter Industrial Park and east of Happiness Island. This is not marked on the Map, so is a much less common place to get the Buzzard from online. You can use this to your advantage, as many players will focus on players closer to them and those with some form of transport, especially Helipcopters. If enemy players are looking at the Map, they will often assume that the player is swimming or, that they are too far away to bother killing. But of course, if the enemy player has played the mission and remembers this, the tactic could back-fire.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
by Robert C. O'Brien
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH Chapter 3 Summary
The Crow and the Cat
- Mrs. Frisby faces a tough decision: she can go home the long way, which will mean she won't get home till after dark. Or, she can go home the short way, which will put her near the cat that all the creatures fear.
- Being a brave lady, Mrs. Frisby decides to take the shortcut home, so that she can reach Timothy sooner.
- Before Mrs. Frisby travels very far, she hears a strange squawking sound. It's a crow tied to a tree, and totally stuck.
- Crows like to mess around with shiny things almost as much as we like to eat cheese here at Shmoop. This means they really, really like shiny things, and this crow is no exception.
- She briefly considers leaving the guy, but knows that if she does, he will die.
- When she is halfway done untying him, the crow sees Dragon—the evil cat. Worse, Dragon sees him and starts towards them very slowly. Eeek.
- Finally Mrs. Frisby gnaws through the string and frees the crow, saving him from certain death. A mouse with a heart of gold—our hearts are melting (but in that good way). Is yours?
- She tells him to make like a banana and split, but he refuses, knowing that Dragon will happily make a snack out of her just like he would of him. Interspecies friendships? Always a win in Shmoop's book.
- The crow's solution? He tells Mrs. Frisby to jump on his back and together they escape from Dragon.
- The crow thanks Mrs. Frisby as he drops her off at home and tells her his name is Jeremy.
- In the end, each animal saves the other: Mrs. Frisby saves Jeremy's life, and Jeremy helps Mrs. Frisby get home to Timothy quickly and safely. The next time one of your friends goes and gets herself stuck to a fence, remember this wise lesson: if you set her free, she may give you a piggyback ride later. Wins all around.

Germany's Environmental Ministry is urging the government to ban fracking near drinking water reservoirs and mineral springs and calling for environmental impact studies from developers.
Germany's Environmental Ministry is urging the government to ban fracking near drinking water reservoirs and mineral springs and calling for environmental impact studies from developers.
Do you think this might have something to do with Gazprom? I know that they have used underhand tactics to try and deter any support for fracking because they are scared that a European fracking boom would spell doom for their own gas exports. Now I am always suspicious of any anti-fracking remarks in the EU.
Interesting thought, very intuitive. I will look into this.
It's a tough call. I'm sure Gazprom has "gone environmental", but fracking sentiments in Europe are in general quite negative. France and Bulgaria have already banned fracking. Of course, Gazprom is the sole supplier of gas to Bulgaria ... so certainly some pressure there.
And France's nuclear industry put massive pressure on the move to ban fracking, again scared that a shale gas boom would be disastrous for their monopoly on providing France its energy.
I support the fracking ban in Germany and for that matter in all of
EuroLand...This just means a great market for Canadian and American
energy producers...
Hans, is your support of a fracking ban in Europe based only on the hope that without their own shale gas, EU countries would turn to the US and Canada for cheap natural gas?
I remember reading an article about connections between German environmentalist organisations and Gazprom. The point was that Gazprom was funding them.
Strange things started to happen in germany. Germany is going to starve itself of energy. First, nuclear ban. (Article mentioned was connected to nuclear ban in germany) Then natural gas and related technologies were risen to equal status with green and renewable technologies. Meaning subsidies to Gazprom gas. Then Nordstream was built and soon Nordstream 2 is going to be built. And now fracking is forbidden technology.
Wind farms are destibilizing german electric grid and surrounding countries grids.
Could anyone from Germany comment, what is going on?
Don't bother. Seems that just about every generation, the Germans go a bit nuts and start following a "great leader" who leads them into some big (not necessarily good) change, changes like WWI, WWII, reunification, now the green slime. This is just their time.

A&P Theme of Power
"A&P" depicts a distinct battle for power. Lengel, the A&P store manager, seems to have the most power in the story. He has the power to publicly humiliate people he thinks don't dress (or act) appropriately. He has the power (or so he claims) to make life hard for Sammy if he quits his job. As we discuss in "What's Up With the Ending?," Lengel probably feels the need to treat the girls this way in order to maintain his position of power in the community. If he didn't say anything, he would be tacitly condoning their behavior and opening the door to more of the same. Sammy and the three girls all seem to lose something from taking a stand against the structures of power that Lengel represents. But is it possible that they gain more than they lose?
Questions About Power
- Who has the most power in this story?
- Does Sammy gain power from quitting his job?
- Sammy is afraid that quitting will leave him with less power in his family and in the town. Do you think this is true? If so, is quitting worth it?
- Will Queenie and her friends feel more or less empowered after this experience?
Chew on This
The power Lengel exerts is only superficial. He won't be able to stop the times from changing.
Sammy gains power by finally doing something about what he sees as a big problem in his community: too much conformity.

An aggressive move for an explosive wide receiver. It's exactly what the New Orleans Saints should have done, and it's exactly what the Saints made happen on Thursday night during the first round of the NFL draft.
The Saints moved up in the first round with Arizona to snag Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks at No. 20. They knew he wouldn't be there at No. 27 and surrendered a third-round pick to make it happen.
It should be worth it.
Cooks caught 128 passes for 1,730 yards and 16 touchdowns to win the Biletnikoff Award as college football's top receiver. He ran a lightning-fast 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. And now he'll give the Saints that home-run threat they seriously lacked in 2013.
The perfect price for the perfect fit.

All three games in the series are 75%, for today only!
I've been enjoying Two Worlds 1 and 2, but the horse riding in them is just atrocious. I keep reading that Mount & Blade is the end all be all for simulated riding, as well as combat from the saddle. I really regret missing the earlier sale, so I jumped on this one today.

I clicked out 325 hours on Warband recently! I probably had at least that in the original also. Not everyone connects with it, but I love it. The mods are fantastic. Most of my time on Warband has been on Prophesy of Pendor, its a complete re-work of the games with new factions and units.

The impression I got from 15mins in Fire and Sword before going back to warband is that guns, like in real life, cheapen the battle. When you can die in one hit it comes down to luck whether you survive the initial charge. As opposed to primarily "skill" and choosing your approach etc.
Ed: That said, it was somewhat satisfying riding my horse in circles picking off the peasants. Though firing a single shot from my pistol and then reloading for 20 seconds before firing off another got a little dull towards the end.

Pros and Cons, eh? Tough question, there's so much there that needs to be weighed in.
Cons is the learning curve. It takes a lot of time to get into the better player ranks when playing Multiplayer. And even when you think you have got some skill, there's always someone who is going to spank you silly with some crazy kick-feint-overhead-cut while jumping.
Also, if you get mostly into the multiplayer, there are limited types of battle.
Pros are plenty. Once you get the hang of fighting, you will love it. The 1 on 1 fights, fighting 5 at a time, riding a horse and lancing unsuspecting musketeers in the head, cutting the horse archers down with a single poleaxe swing... countless grand moments for sure!
The community at the Aussie servers are pretty close, with few clans, all with different communities as well.
There's a lot more, but this one should give a taste of what is to expect.

Their motto is "Give where you live," and guests at Black, White & Orange All Over, the annual fundraiser for the Community Foundation of Orange, showed they believed in the slogan. "The more money we raise, the more needs we can meet," said Lisa Blanc of Orange, president of CFO. "It's local, it's fun, it's not your regular gala. It's become the event to be at, one people like the most," Blanc said.
Local heavy hitters made the scene, with mayors pro tem and council members from almost every surrounding city in attendance, including Don Wagner, State Assemblyman for the 68th district, and Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer. "Carolyn is one of the most effective, charismatic and gracious leaders in all of the Orange County communities," Spitzer said of Carolyn Cavecche, the CFO 2013 honoree for the night and former mayor of Orange.
Bill Steiner, CFO Chairman of the Board, spoke highly of Cavecche. "Our honoree has made a great contribution to the city and community in a lot of capacities." Cavecche praised her hosts. "It's a very humbling experience," she said. "The CFO is just an outstanding organization. Orange has a strong sense of family, and they enhance that and improve our community."
The dinner, silent and live auctions and sale of buttons for the "heads or tails" game netted about $62,000 for CFO, which serves the children and families of the city through programs such as the yearly Foundation Games Youth Track & Field Championships, scholarships for art, music and theater programs for 3rd-6th graders, and the Community Scholarship for Santiago Canyon College.
"What I like most about the job is getting to see the great things going on," Wagner said. "It's not what we do in Sacramento that makes this a great place to live, it's what the people do in the communities."

Anyone who has been following either the Fort Worth Martial Arts or the Libertarian Examiner Columns knows that this writer thoroughly enjoys the Constitutional Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms. I find that this is a fundamental right to all Americans for Self Defense not only against thugs, but also tyrannical government as it was intended by our nation's founders. As the world changes and transitions closer and closer to a dystopian nightmare that we surely seem to be headed for and with the impending economic doom that could strike at any moment this right seems more important than ever. Flash mobs, thieves, rapists, addicts and desperate people are becoming more and more prevalent even in the "Safe haven" of Suburbia. The Urban Creep or mass urbanization of America is at an all time high and with it comes increased levels of violent crime in areas not traditionally prevalent with violent crime.
Even as in the most recent years we have seen a decline in overall crime as gun sales have sky rocketed under the threat of a tyrannical president and the fear of the return of the "Assault Weapons Ban"; the threat is still there. As a martial artist, former soldier and Security Specialist, I see the clear value in citizens learning martial arts to protect themselves but I also am a strong advocate in the justifiable use of a personal firearm for self protection. (See an article on Texas Penal code in relation to Self Defense) For example even with my decades of martial arts and combatives training, I am a relatively small man compared to most and in a situation where I may face a physically superior and larger threat or multiple threats; martial arts may just not be enough to remedy the situation. There are two very important things come into play that O' Sensei at the local dojo doesn't normally want his students to know because it's bad for business.
Size Does Matter
All the garbage out there that size doesn't matter and the stories of a much smaller person dominating a much larger one have disillusioned many that martial arts alone is the answer to self defense. Just YouTube Reality Based Combatives and there you will see some self proclaimed Guru at his local training center giving his best Krav Maga demonstration against 15 attackers. It's canned! Are there cases where a smaller person has successfully defended themselves against a much larger enemy or an enemy who is superior in numbers? Yes, of course; however these are the exceptions, not the norm. Size matters in a fight. A larger person is harder to deal with in a clinch, they are generally more powerful and because they have more mass they can hit harder. Let's just hope a much heavier person doesn't pin you to the ground and you are not a world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Wrestling Expert. Of course size matters, it's not everything; but it matters. Size is always a factor from weight to reach it's a factor.
Numbers Count
I love Hollywood, where the hero can battle endless numbers of enemies and never get hurt. The reality is being in a multiple attacker situation is no fun. You will get hit and you will probably get hit from all angles simultaneously. There comes a point in some cases where the only way you are getting out of that type of situation is to have superior cardio, strength, the ability to take a hit and just plain old mental toughness. The problem is even though most of us just don't want to admit it, we may not have what it takes to get through a situation where it's three on one, five on one or even more. We are after all only human.
No Debate
As far as this writer sees it there is no debate as to whether a firearm is the best solution to a self defense scenario facing a more physically opposing adversary or multiple attackers. It is the best solution. You may not only have to protect yourself but you may be charged with being the protector of a loved one, wife, small child or even an innocent third party. Sometimes a firearm is the most efficient and humane solution to self defense in limiting collateral damage and prolonged excessive physical force. This writer does however strongly advocate that anyone who chooses to add firearms to their repertoire for self protection; seeks to best their proficiency with the weapon. There are plenty of training courses out there that range from basic safe handling to advanced tactics. With the power of a firearm also comes great responsibility.
Dry Fire Training as an Option
As many have read my previous review on the Lazer Range Dry Fire Training System; this writer is a strong advocate, of the implementation of dry fire training to not only develop more proficient and safe firearms handling skills; but marksmanship as well. As a former US Army Special Forces Weapons Sergeant and as a Close Protection Specialist, Firearms Instructor and Range Master, I have trained thousands of people. I have seen people that went from firearms hazard to impressive shooter in a very short period of time just doing Dry Fire drills. This brings me to Chris Graham and his 30 – 10 Pistol Training.
Chris Graham's 30-10 Pistol Training
Who is Chris Graham and what is 30-10? Chris is an associate of mine whom; this writer has known for several years and have worked with on various consulting projects for the government. Chris is a former Force Recon Marine and is a Firearms Instructor and Range Master who has worked on several top US government projects concerning security on a Diplomatic level. He is also the Editor of The Counter Terrorist Magazine and Tactics and Preparedness. With that said the guy is well experienced; and CAN SHOOT! He has developed a training program similar to that used by top US Government Firearms Instructors and Top Level Competitive Shooters, to increase firearms proficiency and marksmanship for the average shooter over a period of 30 days; to the level of the Top 10 Percent of Shooters. He calls this program the "30 – 10"program.
Far more important than the volume of dry fire though is the very deliberate sequential progression he has created, focusing on just a couple of new skills each session, cumulatively building to "unconscious competence" of some of the most complex tactical shooting skills such as engaging moving targets from concealed draw with adrenaline pumping, sweat flowing and an your heart rate pounding. Students love his clever drills and are amazed at the results at the end of 30 days.
Safe and Affordable
Because Chris uses the top level competitive shooter's method of Dry Fire practice to develop marksmanship fundamentals; no ammunition is needed. This makes it one of the most safe and affordable methods of training out there. Shooters can use their own firearms and train anywhere they like. The program consists of 30 training sessions with written instructions, photos, and videos to study and practice with in the comfort of your home. 30 – 10, boasts of only fifteen minutes a day for 30 days to get into top shooting form. As a firearms instructor who has used similar methods of training to develop shooter skills for both myself and trainees, I can attest to the effectiveness of dry fire training in time periods far less than 30 days. Chris' concept is to master every skill possible dry and only later go live after the micro-details of these skills are already conditioned to perfection. Using his program which is accessible via the internet at http://30-10pistol.com/; virtually anyone can attain top notch professional training anywhere they get internet. To be honest most people just couldn't afford an instructor of Chris's caliber for personal training. That's why men in his profession are almost exclusively employed as government contractors or for private security corporations.
The 30 – 10 Home Page
Time to cover some things you can expect on the 30-10 home page. The graphics are great. They are very modern and what you would expect from a top professional. There are lots of tabs that take you to different areas on the site. One of the tabs will bring you to the subscription page for FREE access to the conclusion of the program and a newsletter subscription. Free is good and coming from the guy who brings you the Counter Terrorist and Tactics and Procedures, he has lost of access to lots of great information. There is a reference page where the reader can review Mr. Graham's references. This writer has posted his own reference on the page. There is a tab that will take you to a page of several Training Reviews written by Mr. Graham himself from The Counter Terrorist Magazine.
Of course there is a tab that will take you to the option to buy; but perhaps the most impressive thing on the entire site which one can access for free is Mr. Graham putting his money where his mouth is. There is a video on the home page where Mr. Graham is firing his Glock 17 at a steel plate from a distance of 200 yards and achieves a first round hit. Not many people are willing to demonstrate their skills in the way that they are demonstrated in that video. This writer knows firsthand that the shot was real because he was there.
In conclusion I would like to leave you the reader with yet another option to develop your overall skills in the combat arts which include firearms proficiency and also to exercise your right as a US Citizen under the second amendment of the Constitution. I personally recommend Mr. Graham's program because it is unique. There are lots of firearms Instructors across the web pushing their method but few if any are sharing the little gem of a secret that Mr. Graham shares. Many top shooters hone their abilities through dry fire; but few actually share their method to greatness. This is truly a case of sharing the wealth. In this case Mr. Graham shares the wealth of knowledge that makes good shooters great. Check him out at http://30-10pistol.com/ or go to This Link at the 30 -10 site.

On August 5, stocks in the United States continued on a downward trend, with most major indexes down 1%. After setting record highs, the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 have lost all the gains they had made thus far in 2014. Corporate earnings have been a mixed bag, with some heavy losses in the energy and utilities sectors, both of which stand to be hurt by turmoil in Ukraine.
Although some of the current global crises can account for some of the sustained market losses, it is clear that the more direct concern for investors and firms is how the end of direct monetary stimulus (in the form of bond and asset-backed securities purchases) will change the financial landscape.
It has been reported that an unfortunate side effect of flooding the financial system with liquidity is that prices for so many things have become quite high. Bloomberg just published a piece about the $50 Billion in cash reserves that Berkshire Hathaway is currently sitting on. The investment group, run by the iconic Warren Buffett, has been lauded for making investments based on market fundamentals especially in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis during which many institutions appeared to have ignored market realities in the pursuit of getting big bonuses and surpassing quarterly earnings expectations. As a result he and his employees have watched money pile up, as the high prices for stakes in new emerging industries such as social media and biotech, decrease the likelihood of Buffet's investors getting the stable return they have become accustomed to.
As a result of loose monetary policy and low interest rates, investors have had to rely on increasingly risky investments in order to get a return of 4%. This explains why Berkshire Hathaway feels like it is smarter to hold on to the money than to spend it on overvalued assets, why social media brands like Facebook and Twitter, continue to be illogically overvalued, and why a nation as financially troubled as Greece is able to sell 10 year treasury notes at a 6% interest rate.
In this context we must not view this market dip as a negative event, but rather a desperately needed adjustment that will begin to return equities to a more reasonable price range based on market forces. The Federal Reserve will try to make the landing soft, but if the last financial panic taught us anything, it's that prices can not go up forever. Prices can only go as high as demand, income, and utility will allow, and corrections like these are better in the long-term than the alternative, which is wild growth followed by devastating collapse.

Comey to FBI Applicants: Don't Light Up Just Yet
WASHINGTON—The FBI isn't quite ready to open its famously staid ranks to pot smokers.
Two days after Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said he's "grappling" with the agency's requirement that potential employees not have used marijuana in the previous three years, he told a Senate panel that he is "absolutely dead set against using marijuana."
Mr. Comey was responding to questions from Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), who is skeptical of efforts to liberalize drug laws.

"You seem to make light of marijuana use by those who'd like to work for the FBI," Sen. Sessions said, citing an article in The Wall Street Journal on Mr. Comey's remarks at a white-collar crime conference in Manhattan Monday. At the conference, Mr. Comey said the bureau wants to recruit tech-savvy employees with the expertise to track down hackers, but it runs into trouble because "some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview."
On Wednesday morning, Sen. Sessions asked: "Do you understand that that could be interpreted as one more example of leadership in America dismissing the seriousness of marijuana use and that could undermine our ability to convince young people not to go down a dangerous path?"
Mr. Comey tried to explain himself.
"I am determined not to lose my sense of humor, but unfortunately there I was trying to be both serious and funny," he said. "I waxed philosophic and funny to say, look one of the challenges we face is getting a good workforce at the same time when young people's attitudes about marijuana and our states' attitudes about marijuana are leading more and more of them to try it."
Then he went on to restate his opposition to the drug, sounding more like the longtime federal prosecutor he is than a recruiter trying to attract top tech talent.
"I don't want young people to use marijuana. It's against the law," he said. "We have a three-year ban on marijuana. I did not say that I am going to change that ban. I said I have to grapple with the change in my work force."

Inspired by 18th C. porcelain figurines, Chris Antemann's work employs a unity of design and concept to examine and parody male/female relationship roles. Characters and incidents build upon each other, forming a language that speaks about domestic rites, social etiquette, and taboos. Classic and romantic themes get a contemporary edge; elaborate dinner parties, picnic luncheons and festive celebrations set the stage for her twisted tales to unfold. Fine art photographer, Kendrick Moholt, instills the figures with their own lives via unique crops, perspectives and portrait angles that project the figures onto a human scale.
Kendrick Moholt is a fine art photographer who has also worked as a field biologist for more than thirty years throughout all seven continents.

Developing Confidence
Page Two
Tom's mother was a rather quiet woman who fitted snugly into her husband's hang-ups. In fact, one reason she married him was that she felt insecure and withdrawn herself. She was looking for a husband who would take charge and run matters with a strong hand. Needless to say, she was unable to help Tom develop a healthy sense of confidence and competence as he was growing up because she lacked these traits herself.
Consequently, Tom reached adulthood feeling that he didn't have much to offer. Tom didn't trust himself, his thoughts, his decisions, or his abilities. He had a terribly sagging, low self-esteem in the area of confidence.
Millions of children are raised in homes where similar dynamics take place on an hour-by-hour basis. One negative experience after another is fed into their mental and emotional computers until they are solidly programmed with uncertainty, indecisiveness, and lack of confidence.
The experiences that destroy a child's self-confidence are legion. All you have to do is listen to parents correct their children in your local shopping center! Or listen to adults talk about their own childhood experiences. You will quickly realize how many boys and girls are raised in such a way that their God-given needs for feeling confident and competent have not been adequately met.
Here are several more of the most common confidence-killers:
Each of these leaves children doubting their own ability to become competent, successful people in school, work, and in their relationships.
Peer Influence
Ordinarily, parents have much more influence, either negatively or positively, on their children than does anyone else. This is because parents live with their children from the day they are born, and because they provide their children's most important emotional attachments. But other voices also tell children they are or are not what they should be.
Peers can be a tragic source of low self-confidence. Junior-high school-aged girls, for example, can be incredibly jealous, critical, and rejecting! Trying to find their own niche, they criticize, exclude, and poke fun at girls who don't make the "inner circle."
Peers can be a tragic source
of low self-confidence.
Competition, whether it is about looks, friends, athletics, or grades is universal, and every child is doomed to fall behind at times. But some children repeatedly seem to not quite make it. An average student may feel inferior compared to the best students. So may a child who isn't as talented musically or athletically. Both criticism and comparison leave imprints on the pictures we hold of ourselves. They say, "You can't do it well enough" or, "Others do better, no matter how hard you try." Excessive criticism can leave serious scars causing us to feel incompetent and always unable to measure up. These feelings can remain for a lifetime, to inhibit us or hold us back unless something happens to change them.
Teachers' Influence
Other childhood influences which affect some children deeply are teachers. Many teachers are wonderful, helpful, respectful people who know both how to help children learn and how to help them feel good about themselves. But others, probably because of their own lack of positive feelings about themselves, tend to undermine their students' confidence.
I remember a boy named Steve. He was a shy, withdrawn child when he entered kindergarten at the age of five. His parents quarreled most of the time and life was quite unbearable at home. Steve daydreamed at school. He escaped to this "other world" because the real world in which he was living was unpleasant and unfulfilling.
Unfortunately, Steve had a succession of teachers in the first few years of elementary school who were very displeased with him. They scolded him, ridiculed him in front of other children, and embarrassed him to tears.
"You can do better work, Steve. Why don't you do it?" a teacher would say. And this continued day after day and year after year. By the time Steve was ten, he felt so weak, whipped, and useless that he completely gave up.
By the time Steve was ten, he felt
so weak, whipped and useless
that he completely gave up.
Occasional negative experiences with a teacher are not too harmful, but constant negative occurrences coupled with a weak home situation can be devastating to a sensitive, growing child.
Circumstances Influence
Our attitudes toward ourselves in childhood, including our sense of confidence, are not only influenced by our parents, friends, and teachers, but also by our circumstances in life.
I refer to such things as the financial condition of families, the type of vocation in which our parents are engaged, the cultural status of the parents, and even the geographic location of our home.
These, too, can make a lasting impression on a child's outlook and feelings about himself and his fellow man. Twenty-five-year-old Jill, for example, has still not gotten over the rejection she experienced because she lived in the poor part of town and rarely had new clothes for school. She never felt that she fitted in and she developed no confidence in her social skills. Even though she is now a college-educated woman with poise and outstanding technical skills, inwardly she approaches each new social situation expecting not to fit in. While most observers wouldn't know it, inwardly Jill still feels like that awkward adolescent from the other side of the tracks.
Jill struggles with both a lack of love and a lack of confidence. Because deep down she doesn't believe she will ever fit in and be accepted, she has a serious lack of confidence socially.
As I have counseled with people through the years, I have seen that circumstances like Jill's generally do not produce in themselves a significant negative influence upon a child's feelings of confidence. It is usually only when these social circumstances are combined with other family dynamics that they have a major, lasting influence.
Literally millions of adults have been raised in homes with meager financial resources, on the "wrong side of the tracks," or as members of minority groups that were severely discriminated against and mistreated. Yet their parents were loving, kind, and supportive. These parents enabled their children to grow up feeling that they were adequate, talented, and even privileged in spite of the external circumstances! As a result, their basic emotional needs were well met, and the children reached adulthood feeling loved, worthwhile, and competent.
