The 6-5-07 Republican Debate: Comparing Candidate Views with Public Opinion
Ten candidates for the 2008 Republican nomination for president squared off last night in a debate held in New Hampshire.

The 6-3-07 Democratic Debate: Comparing Candidate Views with Public Opinion
Eight candidates for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president squared off Sunday night in New Hampshire. Here is a run-down of how their views on key issues stacked up against the attitudes of the general public and of self-identified Democrats, Republicans and independents.
Deconstructing the Debate 5/15/07
A review of recent polling reveals that on most — though not all issues — the candidates are in tune with the majority of Republicans, but somewhat at odds with the broader public.
Presidential Politics and Mormon Faith
Surveys show strong public misgivings about the religion and some 30% of the public say they are less likely to support a Mormon presidential candidate.
The Republicans Can't Possibly Win in '08…or Can They?
Indicators of voter sentiment suggest most of the public wants change and may likely vote Democratic next year. Are aspirants for the GOP nomination wasting their time? Don't be too sure.
Campaign '08: Analysis of Key Voter Groups
Who's most inspiring? Who's most electable? Find out how liberals and conservatives, war supporters and opponents and other segments of the electorate rate the presidential candidates. Also, a solid majority of the public favors troop withdrawal, but both sides reject compromise over Iraq funding.
Voters Remain In Neutral As Presidential Campaign Moves Into High Gear
Latest Pew poll finds Republicans lagging Democrats in attention to the race and enthusiasm for candidates. Clinton is Democrats' strongest choice but Obama leads among independents; Giuliani tops McCain in popularity among Republicans and independents.

Product DetailsA surprisingly serious and well-acted major studio variation on the "teens in trouble" films that AIP and Allied Artists cranked out in the 1950's, Blue Denim stars Brandon De Wilde and Carol Lynley as Arthur and Janet, a pair of high school sweethearts who find in each other the love and understanding they don't receive from their emotionally distant parents. However, teenage romance leads to adult consequences when Janet finds herself pregnant; neither of the teens can broach the subject with their parents, and since they're regarded as too young to get married, they're forced to seek out an illegal abortion before Janet is no longer able to hide her condition. While time has dated the story, Blue Denim still comes off as sincere and well-crafted (the sequence where the teen lovers meet the abortionist is still a bit spooky all these years later), and was considered quite frank in its day.

Any book that has the words "wee noggins" in the title has to be adorable, and this one is no exception.
Even though I don't know how to knit, I just had to take a look at this over-the-top-cute pattern book. Babies wearing soft, funny hats are a natural smile-maker, so be prepared to coo repeatedly when you find instructions for making a pumpkin hat, a bunny hat and, perfect for the season, a hat with turkey feathers!
If the hats don't make you feel all warm and fuzzy, the story behind these designs should do the trick. Glenna Anderson Muse, the author of "Warm Hats for Wee Noggins," is a respiratory therapist whose work includes caring for babies in a Missouri neonatal intensive care unit. With the help of a local knitting club, she and other knitters create snuggly blankets, hats and booties for the "little-Littles" in the neonatal unit. Muse's specialty is themed hats which are given to the parents when their tiny ones are strong enough to go home.
In addition to turkeys and bunnies, you'll find super sweet patterns for the upcoming holiday season including a red-nosed reindeer, an elf, and, yes, Santa himself. I'm trying not to be too gushy about such darling headwear, but I might have to learn how to knit just so I can have the pleasure of stitching ears and feathers to tiny caps. I don't have any little ones to dress up, but maybe my cats would like the hats. I think I already know the answer.

Ancient Talmudic wisdom and the modern pragmatism of today's boardroom meet up to find that they have much to discuss. In 'The Rabbi and the CEO', corporate insider and Columbia business professor Thomas Zweifel, Ph. D. engages in a dialogue with Rabbinic scholar Aaron L. Raskin of the congregation B'nai Avraham of Brooklyn, and from this emerges an enlightening synthesis of old vs. new and culture vs. science. Much as the discussion of Japanese culture and entrepreneurial success evoked study, debate and a wealth of literature back in the 1980s, this book will examine those underlying principles by which Jewish and non-Jewish business leaders can lead their companies while remaining true to their values. This is a fun read and a lively discussion as Dr. Zweifel and Rabbi Raskin take us on a tour of Mosaic Law to draw some unexpected conclusions. This book will help readers of all faiths learn that there is not necessarily a great distinction between running an exceptional business and leading a good life.

Providing Financial StabilityCMC will allocate resources to achieve the mission and accomplish goals.
Why is this important?Patients, their families and CMC are concerned about the affordability of care. Healthcare Reform, changes in reimbursement and economic challenges are forcing patients and providers to make decisions that impact how care is delivered. CMC needs to leverage its resources and fundamentally change their allocation to guarantee patients the service and care they need and expect. Ensuring strong capabilities and stable financial performance will help CMC continue its Mission and Vision of providing exceptional care to the community.
How will we accomplish this?-Use limited healthcare dollars wisely throughout a patient's entire episode of care-Eliminate non-value added treatments and activities-Adopt and accelerate reimbursement models and delivery system reforms involving risk-sharing based on quality outcomes and appropriately managing patient's care (ACOs, bundled payments, medical homes)-Manage costs in-line with Medicare reimbursements
How will we know we are succeeding?-The maintenance of a positive, constant operating margin-Increases in the value of key services (quality and cost) -The achievement of shared savings or financial gains from performance based contracts -Reductions of healthcare expenses per episode of care

Great template, awesome work !
Thanks a lot!
Very Nice!
Thank you very much! Let us know if we can be of service in any way.
Nice work! Good luck with sales!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for a great looking template! The customer support you gave when needed was friendly, courteous and prompt. A very professional service! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on "am_themes" future offerings! All the best!
Thanks for the review, and please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
Just setting up the template cant seem to delete the social icons only change them. Please tell me how to delete them.
Hi Fraserjones. Please email me through the contact form on my profile page at the bottom so we can speak in more detail about your problem. Are you using mailchimp or Campaign Monitor, or are you using the HTMl in some other platform?
Thanks for contacting us.
the font style drops when i send this from mailchimp to gmail? i imported it correctly, what is going on? i thought css was inline?
on demo with chrome it looks good but via gmail on chrome it goes to time romans font and not the one on demo.
Hi, thanks for contacting us. Gmail is amongst the last clients which strip down the embedded stylesheet, and while the styles are inline, the font face is set in the embedded stylesheet. We can try setting the font face inline for the version you're using and that should do the trick. Please send me an email through the contact form on my profile page and let me know what layout you are using so I can help. It's the middle of the night here but i'll be able to help you in just a few hours.
Hi there, I've just tested the theme using emailonacid. Works well, apart from in outlook 2013, the darker bit of colour under the buttons is much taller than the td height, and the line that separates each section:
Hi, thanks for the message. Please keep in mind that EmailOnAcid and Litmus, although great tools, have their flaws. Please check the template using a simple test to your own account and see if the issue exists. If it does, please use the contact form on my profile page to send me an email so we can assess it and find a solution.
Thanks for contacting us and have a great weekend.
I just downloaded this email template and cannot edit it in MailChimp. It says it is MailChimp ready. Why is this not working?
Please make sure you use the files from the Mailchimp folder.
Thank you! That was dumb. Much better!
Sweet! Let us know if you need any extra help.
I am trying to delete and change social media icons and only some will change. The last 3 on the right will not delete. How do I fix this?
Also, the social media icons at the bottom will not edit at all.
Please send a mail to email@example.com and we'll help you with every issue. Please explain the process more when you send it over.
Will do, this template is not working at all for me.
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds to me a bit more like you weren't sure what you needed. If you need any kind of guidance let us know.
I have emailed your company with what is not working for me. I know exactly what I want – the product you are advertising. But it is not working as advertised.
What exactly is not functioning the way you would like it to?
I already sent an email to SnoopyIndustries' email – I noticed someone else had written about this but the solution was never posted. The 6 social media icons at the top – I want to change them so that I can add links and make them the right color. The first icon the farthest left will change. So will the third and fourth. The second, fifth and sixth, however, will not change. I can hover over them & the "edit" "remove" boxes are there, but they do nothing.
On the footer, the social media icons do not work with mail chimp at all (no hovering boxes to edit or remove)
I am also trying to change the last set of images above the footer (I do not need them) and when I go in to enter the code, it moves everything to the left when I delete the two images and two captions/text boxes/read more CTAs.
we can understand why working with Mailchimp can sometimes be frustrating but I guarantee that our template works. That's why we've had so many customers to it and all our other templates. We're offering you the possibility to allow our support team to solve your issues – that means hands down support until we solve all of your questions. On the other hand if you still want a refund please contact Envato support, they handle these kinds of stuff.
For now, if I could have the answers to my questions so I can see if it truly is MailChimp and not your template, I'd appreciate it. That will help my decision on whether we need a refund.
Please resend the email, we didn't find your support request.
As long as this template has been accepted here on Themeforest it means that it's been checked by the review staff, which means it's working as specified. It's clear that you need some help and we'll make sure you get it.
We're looking forward to that mail again.
Thanks for the feedback. Cheers

3. Does your template support drag to reorder function, edit etc, edithttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2234179/s3.png
4. What about social icons, are they user friendly, easy to edit? edithttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2234179/s4.JPG
5. What about functions like on linked image, staling, settings, content, columns? edithttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2234179/s5.JPG

Hi 30Flux,
For some reason these messages didn't pop up as unread so I'm super sorry for the delay. Please send us the same message to email@example.com so we can help out.
Does not seem to be functioning anymore.
What exactly isn't functioning? It's working perfectly for me.
hey I just want to delete cta buttons how do I do that?
Unfortunately at the moment that's only possible manually, although we are actively working on making it possible, we've got a new builder coming out within a couple of months.
Making sure you're satisfied with our products is of utmost importance for us, so if you're having any questions regarding our products here are your options:

Just a few days after the launch of the Dirt-RAD, which is based on a 1989 Yamaha XT 600, the nice guys from Spanish aftermarket company Radical Ducati go back to their first love, the Ducatis, introducing this new special bike: meet the Pata Negra.
The model is an evolution of the RAD 02 Montjuich, which has been perfected even further by the Madrid-based tuner. Frame, rear frame, front bracket and swingarm are made of aluminum, while carbon fibre has been used for all of its fairing bits: fuel tank and mudguards included. Besides, the Pata Negra comes with a slew of top notch components such as Rizoma footpegs, EVR electronics, K service suspension, Discacciati braking system and a 2 in 1 exhaust system by Wolfman with a Spark megaphone muffler.

Maya Angelou was an internationally renowned bestselling author, poet, actor, political activist, and first-year inductee into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. She held over fifty honorary university degrees and was known throughout the world as a spokesperson for human rights, freedom, justice, and peace and has often been the first woman and/or the first African American to obtain certain job opportunities in the United States as well as in Africa. --Arkansas Enclyclopedia
A spirit whisperer has departed. Maya Angelou (1928-2014) died on May 28. She leaves behind an exemplary life marked by faith, courage and beauty. She was "Everywoman" and more. In the coming days, many will pay deserving tributes to her not only for the distinguished body of work she leaves behind, but also for the beautiful person she was. A gifted writer, poet, and essayist, Maya Angelou, opened a window into our souls. In tribute, I present excerpts from some of her most memorable and inspirational words.
Maya Angelou talks about her faith...
In a world of confusion and noise I look for the moments that help me understand who I am, where I come from and what I want to be. This Bible series brings to life the stories that have shaped our world and shaped my life. Stories that have helped me to forgive. Helped me to love. Helped me to overcome. Helped me to survive, and even do better than that, helped me to thrive.
God loves me [crying]. It still humbles me that this force that makes leaves and fleas and stars and rivers and you, loves me. Me, Maya Angelou. It's amazing. I can do anything. And do it well. Any good thing, I can do it. That's why I am who I am, yes, because God loves me and I'm amazed at it. I'm grateful for it.
I'm grateful to be a practicing Christian. I'm always amazed when people say, 'I'm a Christian.' I think, 'Already?' It's an ongoing process. You know, you keep trying. And blowing it and trying and blowing it. --- excerpted from the Christian Post
Maya Angelou talks about courage...
Well, I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults. But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous.
I would encourage young men and women to develop courage. It's the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can be anything erratically every now and again, kind, fair, true, generous, just, merciful, all of those, every now and again. But to continue to be that all of the time, day in and day out, night in and night out, you have to have courage.---excerpted from NOLA.com
Maya Angelou talks about love and life...
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."
Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.
You may not control all events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. ---excerpted from CTA News
Finally, Maya Angelou's last 'Tweet' on Twitter...
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God. ---@DrMayaAngelou
Without a doubt, I believe God placed Maya Angelou in our mist, as he did with Queen Esther, for such a time as this.

Debugging SecurID auth module in Sun Java ES Access Manager
By user12601562 on Sep 05, 2006
Background of amsecuridd helper deamon
Access Manager SecurID authentication client is implemented using RSA's ACE/Client API and a helper written in C will communicate between Access Manager SecurId module and the SecurId server
Access Manager SecurId module invokes amsecuridd deamon by opening a socket to localhost:57943 to listent for securid authentication requests. port 57943 is the default port number, if this port number is already occupied different port number can be specified for the SecurID Helper Authentication Port attribute in SecurId service configuration.
The interface to amsecuridd is cleartext through stdin. that's why only localhost connections are permitted to this service. the "backend" of this routine uses the SecurID remote API (v5.\*), which does the appropriate encryption of sensitive data.
amsecuridd helper listens on another port to receive its configuration information. by default on the port 58943. if this port is occupied, you can run it on different port, by changing the securid service properties through Access Manager Console For each organization/realm that communicates with a different ACE/Server (which has a different sdconf.rec file), a separate instance of SecurID helper should be run.
How to run amsecuridd helperThis deamon can be invoked in two ways,
Starting it manually
amsecuridd requires the following shared libararies libaceclnt.so => /opt/SUNWam/lib/libaceclnt.so libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 libthread.so.1 => /lib/libthread.so.1 libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2 libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1 libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1 libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R/lib/libc_psr.so.1 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R/lib/libmd5_psr.so.1 Most of them can be found in OS. you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /
/SUNWam/lib/ to find libaceclnt.so amsecuridd: Usage [-v] [-c portnum] [-v] turn on verbose mode; you need to create the debug file by touch /var/opt/SUNWam/debug/securid_client.debug [-c portnum] config listening port number; default 58943.
Starting amsecuridd using amserver script
The amserver script can be found in the
/SUNWam/bin/ directory /opt/SUNWam/bin/amserver start stopping auth helpers ... done. starting auth helpers ... done. verify the process has been started ps -ef | grep amsecuridd root 1725 1 0 10:26:49 pts/3 0:00 /opt/SUNWam/share/bin/amsecuridd -c 58943
How to disable the amsecuridd deamon from being started
if you dont want the amsecuridd deamon started everytime when amserver start is issued do the following Remove the securid from following property from AMConfig.properties com.iplanet.am.daemons for eg: out of box this property will look like this com.iplanet.am.daemons=unix securid after disabling securid com.iplanet.am.daemons=unix
SecurId Authentication module is supported only on Solaris Sparc hosts, it is not supported on Solaris x86 and Linux
Troubleshooting SecurID Authentication
Make sure the amsecuridd deamon is running in verbose mode if not restart it with -v option. then follow these steps on the server where the amsecuridd is running telnet localhost 58943 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '\^]'. Enter SecurID Helper Listen Port [57943]: Enter SecurID Helper Session Timeout [5]: Enter SecurID Helper Max Sessions [5]: Enter Config Path for Server [/opt/ace/data]: /var/tmp/ace.iramya get_config_info: amsecuridd configured successfully Connection closed by foreign host. telnet localhost 57943 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '\^]'. Enter SecurID login: fob56 Enter passcode: 06457646 System generated PIN? (y/n): n Enter new PIN, containing 4 to 8 digits: 1234 Wait for the code on your token to change, then connect again with the new PIN Connection closed by foreign host. telnet localhost 57943 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '\^]'. Enter SecurID login: fob56 Enter passcode: 123418924721 Authentication passed Connection closed by foreign host. The dialog session may be different based on your securid card configuration You can find more details about the client communication with ACE server in the /var/opt/SUNWam/debug/securid_client.debug file The passcode is computed like this: your PIN for the fob + the digits displayed on the fob for example if your fob displayed 18924721 and your PIN for the fob(securid card) is: 1234 then the passcode will be: 123418924721 if the above step works fine then it is the problem in the Access Manager SecurId atuhentication configuration. Run the server in debug mode In AM 7.0+ you can dynamically enable debug mode by following these steps Login as amadmin (or top level admin user) to Access Manager Console Access
://server:port/ /Debug.jsp?category=AUTHENTICATION&level=3 Try to look into amAuthSecurID file

What Does Google Want With All Those Robots?
Carol Kopp
It's almost time to say hello to your little robot friend.
(NASDAQ:GOOG) managed to snap up half a dozen innovative start-ups for robots before its biggest buy of all caught the world's attention. Its purchase of Boston Dynamics in December 2013 blew the lid off -- or would have, if Google hadn't been so characteristically closed-mouthed about its intentions.
Boston Dynamics has built some truly awesome robots for use by the US military, and even if we can't see them in action in the desert, millions have watched them show off their moves on YouTube.
the humanoid Atlas
, who looks like he really is prepared to hold up the world, and
the Cheetah
, which can run up to 29 miles an hour. BigDog can navigate
a variety of terrain
and follow voice commands.
Sand Flea leaps
tall buildings.
These are not the killer robots of our nightmares. They apparently are used mostly as advance scouts, monitoring situations on the ground with greater efficiency than humans and, of course, less danger of loss of life.
Google has indicated that it will not pursue further military contracts after completing a couple of prior commitments made by Boston Dynamics. The company doesn't need the money, or the controversy, that comes with military projects.
And that's pretty much all it has said about its intentions for Boston Dynamics and the other robotics companies that now operate under the auspices of Google X, the secretive division of the company that's devoted to long-term research projects.
But this is no "moonshot," the term Google uses to define projects that are too ambitious and too far in the future for its company's quarterly results-focused investors to appreciate. After years of languishing in the realm of sci-fi, robots are finally lurching into the real world.
Some of the credit has to go to the US Department of Defense, which funded robot development for its own needs. Now Google will be developing new generations of Cheetahs and BigDogs with industrial or even home purposes built in.
Their actual construction has become cheaper and easier due to a generation of improvements in mobile technology. Sensors, batteries, chips, and voice activation technology all make robots, as well as cell phones, work.
Now that they're part of Google, the robot-builders have access to the vast stores of data and the deep algorithm-writing skills that are the company's stock in trade.
And that makes robots and Google seem like a natural and even an eminently practical fit.
In addition to Boston Dynamics, Google's other acquisitions have made some very real achievements in robotics. They include:
Schaft Inc., founded in 2011 to build robots that could assist in the response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The company has built a person-sized robot that can climb ladders, clear debris, and connect hoses.
Industrial Perception, Inc. created the technology for 3-D vision-guided robots. Capable of recognizing and sorting objects, they are intended for use in manufacturing and logistics.
Meka Robotics built the "human-safe, human-soft" M1 Mobile Manipulator, a model designed to work alongside humans at home or in the workplace. It's developing
a robot head
that's capable of facial expressions so that it can interact better with humans.
Bot & Dolly explores the use of robotics as a creative medium. The company is best known for enabling the weightless scenes in the movie
Google's interest in robotics may well have coincided with its hiring a year ago of Ray Kurzweil. A near-legendary figure, Kurzweil has many inventions to his credit, but he's best known for his exploration of the frontiers of artificial intelligence.
At age 66, Kurzweil has 19 honorary doctorates, but he got his first real job just last year as Google's director of engineering. As is detailed in a
profile in
The Guardian
, he continues to believe that computers will achieve something resembling consciousness -- not in the distant future, but by about 10 years from now.
That would be a truly amazing achievement. But then again, a more prosaic product would do for most of us. Who wouldn't want a little robot sidekick to take care of all the mundane stuff?

MOMarsh Invisichair Portable Blind
The MOMarsh Invisichair Portable Blind solves the vertical cover concealment challenge, while being very mobile, comfortable and effective. With a unique patent pending design, the Invisichair is designed for hunting with vertical cover in flooded corn, cattails, tules, fence lines, woody cover, levees and bullrush. Many hunters look at vertical cover and think it is easy to hide in because it looks thick from ground level. However, experience shows that the average vertical cover is weak from above–-the usual perspective of ducks. Sitting on a swamp seat or bucket is uncomfortable and leaves you exposed from above. Marsh boats are made for moist soil/horizontal cover and often fail in vertical coverage due to a large footprint from above and the fact that they look nothing like the surroundings. The MOMarsh Invisichair Portable Blind is the perfect concealment solution for these shallow water situations. This lightweight, portable blind is adjustable for water depths to 34'', as well as being adjustable for hunter size. The spring open top provides unobstructed shooting. Shoot while sitting or standing. Includes storage bags for dead ducks and gear and webbing straps for adding your own vegetation. Weight: 22 lbs.
Manufacturer model #: CHAIR.
- Mobile, portable, and lightweight blind for sites with vertical cover
- Adjustable for water depth and for hunter size
- Spring open top for unobstructed shooting
- Mesh blind top for good visibility
- Storage bags for dead ducks and gear
- Webbing straps for adding vegetation

I have one of these little gems. I like the Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel ammo for a snubbie. Another good round is Hornady's Critical Defense.
This is a discussion on Just bought a Taurus model 85SSUL within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Been a while since I've owned a revolver, anyone have a good .38 SD round recommendation?...

Thanks, so is it safe to assume that +P ammo is okay to shoot through gun? Being an alloy I wasn't sure if the added pressures would harm the piece.
According to the Taurus website SHOULD be rated at +P.
Thanks again.
I just picked up a couple of boxes of Buffalo Bore .38 +p; for my 442. I haven't shot it, yet, but all the research that I've done lately on .38 special leads me to believe that this is the stuff for SD.
Here is an excellent read on +p pressures in ammunition.
.38 Special LSWCHP +P: Still a Top Load?
I did a search on our forum and came up with a lot of conversations regarding this topic; very helpful stuff:
+P and pressure; .38 special 'FBI load'.
I found the first two links while perusing the content of the last two... happy reading
Oh, and BTW; where are the pics of the Taurus?
Trust in God and keep your powder dry
"A heavily armed citizenry is not about overthrowing the government; it is about preventing the government from overthrowing liberty. A people stripped of their right of self defense is defenseless against their own government." -source
+1 on the Hornady Critical Defense.
God is love (1 John 4:8)
I've had an 851SSUL for about 7 years now, and yes, it is indeed rated for +P ammo. This is a gun that is carried lots and shot little, but that said, it's had well over 1000 rounds through it without a problem. I especially like the movable blade rear sight.
My carry loads vary between Fed/Win/Rem 158 gr +P lead SWCHP - the "FBI load," and 135-ish grain Gold Dot Short Barrel. This is a belly gun and hits from bad-breath range to about 10 yards are what counts, and I have yet to find a commercial defense load that won't meet that rather coarse standard.
Here's mine:

Great articles zacii. Thanks for that info.
Always been a fan of Federal 125 gr. NyClad's standard velocity. My tests in wet news print were good out of our 85.
Who is John Galt?
Sometimes there's justice, sometimes there's just us...
When political power is up for grabs, personal liberty is usually one of the first casualties
THIS is what I carry in mine. It offers plenty of power without the excessive recoil of +P.
I'm thinking BB, thanks to all.
May be 'old school' but I still use Silvertips.

This is the Southern Bible Belt, where people talk about God the way they talk about the weather, about His will and His blessings, about why He lets things happen.
-- Mary Ward Brown
Welcome to the website of Susan Ketchin!From the time she was a young girl growing up in Georgia, Susan has explored a keen interest in her southern heritage and the rich and complex culture in which she was raised.
Now, as a talented and dedicated educator with over 25 years of teaching experience, she is a nationally recognized author, musician, lecturer, and performer.
You are invited to join this fascinating exploration of contemporary Southern American culture -- its controversial and fevered history, its passionate "Bible-belt" religions, its rich and eclectic music, and its universally powerful literature.
Why is the South so rich and contradictory? So endlessly fascinating and infuriating? Susan asks authors, past and present, these and other questions that she has found to be crucial to their lives as artists and to ours as readers. "It's because we lost the War," Walker Percy famously summed up. That may be, but there is far more cultural terrain to traverse. We invite you to explore with Susan the fascinating culture of the American South, to probe with us why and how this region has been so influential in shaping this nation's culture—its music, religion, language, and literature.
Here you can learn more about Susan Ketchin or invite her to speak or perform.
Recent News
A Research Affiliate of the Center for the Study of the American South at UNC, Susan is currently working in UNC-Chapel Hill library's Southern Historical and Folklife collections at on a book about southern music, place, and the soul.
A North Carolina Humanities Council "Road Scholar," Susan speaks throughout the state on topics ranging from "Pilgrim Souls: Wayfaring Strangers, Saintly Outlaws, and Souls on Fire" to "God in Southern Story and Song."

Within minutes of reports of an explosion at the finish of today'...
The online controversy over the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation's decision to cut off grants from Komen to Planned Parenthood focused an intense social media battle on a hot, politically charged issue. A group that has relied on social media as a primary communications tool found out how quickly a powerful weapon can turn hostile. What happened?
By Eric Rabe, Fels Senior Advisor
Late last year, Komen founder Nancy Brinker, a Republican donor and supporter, along with others at Komen, feared support for the politically controversial Planned Parenthood was costing Komen support and donations and distracting from the Komen races and 3-days that are central to their fundraising.
In a move that was not publicly announced, Komen changed its rules on grant-giving. Although cast as a policy revision, the change had only one impact: to eliminate hundreds of thousands of dollars that flowed from Komen to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screening and education.
When word leaked out, Komen seemed blindsided by the fury that flared on social media.
A few facts are worth considering. Firstly, women are active social media users. Last summer, the Pew Internet & American Life Study reported nearly 90 percent of women 18-29 are online and nearly 70 percent of those say they log in to a social media site every day. Younger women are particularly apt to be engaged in social issues including abortion.
Both Komen and Planned Parenthood rely heavily on social media to spread their own messages. Each has an active Facebook presence and Twitter streams and each can also be found on other social media sites. Social media buzz is a key to fundraising by each. Despite the perceived conservative tendencies of Komen, the group appeals to many who are actively involved and passionately engaged in women's health issues including abortion rights.
The Komen cut-off of Planned Parenthood was quickly characterized as caving to right-wing, anti-abortion pressure, even by some of Komen's own long-time supporters. Planned Parenthood was happy to play on the theme, alleging political "bullying" by pro-life groups. In just three days during the week of January 30th, Planned Parenthood took in $3 million in new donations, four times the usual grant from Komen.
Komen had walked into a perfect social media storm. Passionate supporters and detractors were already active online. Many of Komen's own supporters also support Planned Parenthood. Many perceived the issue as political interference in women's health. Women in particular were ready to turn to social media to express their views.
Some 1.5 million Tweets later, Komen officials realized they had to retreat. Planned Parenthood was quick to credit online supporters for turning the Komen decision around. Komen had misread its supporters, their ability and their willingness to speak out.
Now Komen faces a predictable and similarly vitriolic back-lash from those who oppose Planned Parenthood's work. Komen may have had no choice but to reverse itself, but there will be a cost to that decision as well.Related News:

Obama: 'I Was There Early' on Linsanity
Linsanity has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, but the leader of the free world said Thursday he was a fan before Jeremy Lin was a household name.
"I knew about Jeremy before you did, or everybody else did, because Arne Duncan, my secretary of education, was captain of the Harvard team," President Barack Obama said in an interview about sports with columnist and author Bill Simmons. "So I've been on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon for a while." Mr. Duncan, of course, graduated a few years earlier than Mr. Lin, but still follows Crimson basketball.
Mr. Simmons asked Mr. Obama if he was taking credit for Linsanity. "It kind of feels like you are a little bit."
"I can't take credit for it, but I'm just saying I was there early," Mr. Obama said.
In the course of a month, Mr. Lin has gone from a little-known point guard for The New York Knicks to superstardom with a series of breathtaking clutch baskets. Mr. Lin, a Harvard graduate, had been cut by several teams before being picked up by the Knicks.
Mr. Lin's come-from-behind tale is something Mr. Obama said makes for a "terrific story."
Mr. Obama said he likes how sports isn't muddled in "a lot of BS."
"Ultimately, who's winning, who's losing, who's performing, who's not — it's all laid out there," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Obama still plays basketball in his spare time and sometimes coaches his daughters' basketball teams. "Watching 9, 10-year-old girls playing basketball and just fierce, just intense about it, is terrific," he said.
The president also said "is about the most stressful thing" to throw the opening pitch in a baseball game.
Mr. Obama said the bulletproof vest he has to wear makes it difficult to throw a fast pitch. "Each time I go up there my thinking is, All right, I'm just going to blaze this thing in. And then I'm thinking, Man, if I throw a grounder that's going to be a problem. So then I end up kind of lofting it up a little bit," Mr. Obama said.
He also heaped praise on former President George W. Bush for throwing a strike in the opening pitch at Game 3 of the 2001 World Series between the Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks.
"Right down the middle," Mr. Obama said of Mr. Bush's throw, which was just a month after the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks. "And huge credit for that. I give that guy a lot of props for that one."

How to Fix a Scratched Xbox Game
Four Parts:Assessing Disc DamageToothpaste RemedyChapstick RemedyChapstick and Toothpaste RemedyCommunity Q&A
Xbox consoles use a laser to gather data from the surface of your Xbox game discs. If your disc is scratched, the laser is refracted and will result in skipping or a failure to play. You can try to fix a scratched Xbox game by using a substance to fill the scratches in the surface.
Part 1
Assessing Disc Damage
1Find the scratch. If it is an even circle around the entire disc, then it is likely your Xbox console scratched the disc.
- If your Xbox is quite new or it frequently scratches games in this manner, contact Microsoft to see if they will replace the disc. Consoles that arrive with this defect may qualify for game reimbursement.
2Ensure your disc isn't delaminated or cracked. These are unfixable problems on any disc. A cracked disc is damaged throughout the composition and a delaminated disc is damaged because of the peeling back of plastic.
- If your disc suffers from cracks or peeling, it should be thrown away. It is likely due to improper storage.
Part 2
Toothpaste Remedy
1Buy plain paste toothpaste. Make sure the tube does not advertise crystals, strips or whitening.
2Grab a soft cloth. A lint-free cloth, such as a chamois would be best, although a soft paper towel can also work.
3Squeeze some toothpaste onto the surface of your cloth.
4Spread the toothpaste in an even layer on the disc with your cloth. Work in straight lines from left to right across the disc, instead of in circular motions.
- Using straight lines will help to buff the disc evenly. The light grit in the toothpaste works to take off the top layer of plastic and remove very light Xbox game scratches.
- Using straight lines will help to buff the disc evenly. The light grit in the toothpaste works to take off the top layer of plastic and remove very light Xbox game scratches.
5Leave the toothpaste on the surface of the disc for 10 minutes.
6Wash off the toothpaste under running water.
7Buff it with a clean cloth. Try it in your game console again.
- Try repeating the toothpaste trick once before moving onto another method, if it isn't successful the first time.
Part 3
Chapstick Remedy
1Rinse the surface of your disc with water. Dry it with a soft cloth.
2Apply wax-based chapstick in even straight strokes across the surface of the disc. Do not move it in a circular motion.
- Chapstick is a cheap way to apply wax to the scratches to help fill them in. Make sure the lip balm you buy does not have other ingredients, like glitter or color in it.
3Use one side of the cloth to buff off the Chapstick from the surface of the disc in straight strokes. Do not use a circular motion when you are buffing.
4Use the other side of the cloth, or a clean cloth, to buff the disc again. Your Xbox game should have the majority of the wax removed before you insert it into your gaming console.
- Placing an Xbox game covered in a large amount of wax inside your Xbox can ruin the console.
5Try playing the game again. Try one more time before seeking professional help with your Xbox disc repair.
Part 4
Chapstick and Toothpaste Remedy
1Obtain plain toothpaste (not gel) and wax-based chapstick. Toothpaste and chapstick don't cost very much.
2Take both of the caps off the toothpaste and chapstick. Begin rubbing one side with chapstick and the other with toothpaste.
3Leave the paste and chapstick on for 5-10 minutes.
4Don't put the game in yet. Wash off the disc, with care. You can put the disc under the sink or wipe with a dampened cloth. Leave it for one minute.
5Look at the disc to see if the marks you saw earlier have gone. If there's still a scratch on it, or there's a little of the scratch left, try the method again.
6Put the game in. If it works, the problem has been solved. If not, you will need some help from Microsoft and such.
Community Q&A
Why did my Xbox scratch my disc?wikiHow ContributorIf the console is tilted or bumped during play, this can cause the disc to be scratched. Ensure that boisterous siblings or curious pets cannot get near the console while it is in use or whenever there is a disc inside.
What should I do if my game freezes during loading?wikiHow ContributorXbox One: Press the Xbox button on your controller (some games prevent you from exiting). Then press the menu button and close the game. If that does not work, press the power button.
I used a whitening toothpaste on the Xbox disc, will it still work?wikiHow ContributorUnfortunately, no. It is supposed to be plain toothpaste. If it isn't, it risks damaging the disc further.
What if the game loads, but freezes at the menu screen?
- Borrow a friend's copy of your Xbox game and install it on your Xbox before you use your version. This may help the console to store more information from a working copy of the disc, instead of trying to use your damaged copy.
- These scratch repair tricks use household items that are available for approximately $1. You can research and find Xbox game repair services, if you would rather not experiment with a new Xbox disc.
- Blow on the disc, then wipe it with a soft cloth.

Being healthy and happy is the most important state of being for me.I have been given a second chance and I have embraced my new life completely. I eat only foods that are good for me and drink plenty of water. I use visualization seeing the goodness from these foods spreading through my organs and cells. I have never felt so fit and energetic,and walk 30 mins easch day. All this after beating Leaukemia last May. Namaste
The five (5) rules by Lata Ashar are a bonus. I love them - sweet and simple!!!
After all is said and done, it really depends on the individual who wants to lose the weight and I mean exactly that - WANTS TO LOSE THE WEIGHT - Once you have the determination almost anything works. Case in point - My niece wanted to lose 55 pounds and within four months she had lost all of it on her own self-controlled diet and discipline. NO FLOUR FOODS, NO SODA, NO CANDY, etc. She would supplement her meal with an energy drink. WILLPOWER - that is what it takes. Of course, to tighten up the looseness (flab) - exercise: some walking or treadmill, cycling, swimming.
For all of you who would like to lose some weight, I wish you luck. It can be done. Go for it.
Hi Everyone: I have recently started a new routine to take control of my mind and body: First off in the morning it's 25-35 minutes of yoga followed by 10-20 minutes of meditation. Keeps me energized for the entire day.
Will include some walking soon.
To lead happy & healthy life,
the 4th rule is,
"Stay positive"

Nashville -- Chase Daniel threw a pass in the end zone as time expired but it was intercepted and the New Orleans Saints lost to the Tennessee Titans 27-24 at LP Field.
The Saints will now concentrate on the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings in the Superdome next Thursday, a game that will be overhyped nationally.
"We'll treat it just like a regular season game," said Saints receiver Robert Meachem, who got extended minutes for a guy who has been a starter, and caught five passes for 49 yards.
The Saints wind up the preseason with a 2-2 record.
Here are the in-game updates
Fourth Quarter
0:06: Chase Daniel tried his best, but his best wasn't good enough. The Saints' last-ditch two-minute drive died in the final seconds as Titans linebacker Gerald McRath intercepted his desperation fourth-down pass in the end zone to preserve the win. Daniel was trying to hit tight end Tyler Lorenzen on a seam route down the middle.
2:25: Preseason sensations Chase Daniel and Adrian Arrington aren't giving up. Daniel just hit Arrington for a pair of big pass plays, the last one a 35-yard touchdown strike to pull the Saints within five points at 27-22. Daniel then hit Courtney Roby in the left side of the end zone for a two-point conversion pass to make it 27-24.
3:18: Alvin Pearman pounds it in from the 5 to put this one away. The Titans lead 27-16. And the big crowd starts to head for the exits. Most are headed across the footbridges that span to the Cumberland River to downtown Nashville. The final Brooks and Dunn concert of this year's tour is taking place tonight so it should be a big night in downtown Nashville.
4:44: Rusty Smith hit Dominique Edison for a 45-yard touchdown as Edison burned Saints cornerback Reggie Jones on what appeared to be a touchdown, but it was ruled he stepped out at the 12-yard line.
7:45: Former Florida Atlantic quarterback Rusty Smith came in for the Titans. LaGarrette Blount is just running over Saints defensive players. He has 54 yards on 13 carries up to this point.
7:51: The big blocked punt is wasted as Chase Daniel is sacked by David Howard and had to settle for another Garrett Hartley field goal, this one from 41 yards. Hartley has four field goals in the game. He is 8-of-8 for the preseason, picking up where he left off in the Super Bowl.
9:30: Jimmy Graham blocked a punt, the second for the game for the Saints and recovered and the Saints have the ball inside the 10. Two plays into the drive, Courtney Roby dropped a handoff from Chase Daniel to back them up to the 18.
10:02: It's the Junior Galette show again. He gets a sack on Titans quarterback Chris Simms one play after hitting Simms to force a bad pass, one play after making a tackle on a running play.
13:08: Trying to give him a vote of confidence the Saints coaches were going to allow Chase Daniel to run a play on the Saints 39 yard line and fourth down. But tight end Tyler Lorenzen was penalized for a false start, wiping that out.
An uneventful offensive series for the Saints, who should get one or two more opportunities before the game ends.
14:56: LaGarrette Blount, scored on a 1-yard run to give the Titans a 20-13 lead. Remember Blount was the guy who punched a Boise State player while at Oregon. He was a good running back with a lot of potential, and is listed as the fourth running back for the Titans.
Third Quarter
1:08: After most of the fans and media contingent ripping on Chris Simms, he throws a 41-yard pass to marc Mariani and got the Titans to the 6-yard line. Simms looked awful at times in the quarter, but that throw to Mariani was dead on.
5:35: Garrett Hartley again is the source of points for the Saints, hitting a 30-yard field goal to tie the score at 13 late in the third quarter. The Saints ran the ball well on their first drive of the half. The drive started after they got a turnover and they took advantage. Chase Daniel started at quarterback and was 3-of-5 for 36 yards,
6:50: OK, LaDell Betts has come out running the ball well on the Saints first drive of the second half. Is there an echo in here?
8:00: DeShawn Wynn has come out running the ball well on the Saints first drive of the second half.
10:24: After watching the Titans drive down their throats, the New Orleans Saints defense held off a score as Al Woods, who is fighting for his football life, recovered a fumble at the 13-yard line.
It was a fumbled snap by Titans third-team quarterback Chris Simms.
It hasn't been a pretty first half, but then again what do you expect in the fourth preseason game? Mostly backups have played the full half for the New Orleans Saints against a mix of mostly starters and backups for the Tennessee Titans.
Patrick Ramsey starter at quarterback for the Saints and went 11-of-16 for 98 yards. He had a couple other passes that should have been caught -- one to Robert Meachem in the end zone and another to Jimmy Graham down the middle.
Meachem had four catches for 49 yards for the Saints and Lance Moore had two for 31.
The Titans ran the ball well against the Saints defense. Jevon Ringer had four carries for 64 yards and Samkon Gado had 10 carries for 44 yards. Ringer had a 47-yard run and Gado a 31-yarder. Kerry Collins was 8-of-17 for 89 yards.
Second quarter
0:04: Rob Bironas kicked a 26-yard field goal as time expired to give the Tennessee Titans a 13-10 lead at halftime against the New Orleans Saints.
Chris Ivory left the game and didn't return. The training staff appeared to be looking at his leg. The Saints haven't announced anything, we'll keep you updated if we hear something.
3:09: Tennessee kicker Rob Bironas hit a 30-yard field goal to tie the score at 10-all. The Saints defense held after allowing the Titans to drive inside the 20. Titans running back Jevon Ringer has 64 yards on four carries.
4:06: More Junior Galette news: he's not hurt. It appears he had a cramp in his right leg.
4:36: Samkon Gado broke off a 31-yard run for the Titans to get the ball down to the 17-yard line.
6:05: The football gods are cruel. After making two good plays in the past few minutes, Junior Galette jumped offside on a Titans punt attempt resulting in a Tennessee first down. It's those kinds of plays that drive coaches crazy when looking at ways to keep a guy on the roster.
8:30: Junior Galette is at it again. He hit Kerry Collins as Collins threw a pass that went incomplete.
8:46: Junior Galette blocked a punt and former LSU player Harry Coleman recovered for a touchdown.
Galette, a fan favorite, might have made the play that gets him a roster spot. He has been one of the bubble guys as the preseason is winding down.
He has also been a fan favorite during camp and that will certainly add to his popularity.
Maybe that play will make up for the poor tackling from the previous Saints punt.
12:00: Kerry Collins, who you might recall played with the Saints during the Mike Ditka regime, entered the game for the Titans. Collins was the starter two years ago when Tennessee had a great season, then was the starter when they got off to an 0-6 start last season.
12:10: Thomas Morstead boomed a 51-yard punt that was returned 27 yards by Marc Mariani. But a personal foul penalty moved the Titans back to the 13-yard line. A break for the Saints, who looked awful on that coverage. A bad angle, couple of missed tackles. It appears the coverage unit still needs work.
First quarter
Even though he dropped a sure touchdown pass, Robert Meachem has been the star for the Saints so far with three catches for 38 yards.
Quarterback Patrick Ramsey has looked good at times and unsure of himself at other times. The Saints played pretty good defense until giving up a long run to Jevon Ringer which set up the Titans touchdown.
0:12: The Titans take the lead when Vince Young hit tight end Bo Scaife for a 9-yard completion. This drive wasn't a good one for the Saints defense, but remember the Titans are playing a lot more starters.
1:30: Jevon Ringer got a 47-yard run for the Titans to set the team up at the 9-yard line. It was not a good play by the Saints defense, which had a chance to get him for a short gain.
5:13: Another odd looking drive for the Saints. This one resulted in a punt from Thomas Morstead that has the Titans starting at their 9. They finished the drive by getting back-to-back penalties and Ramsey having to run for his life before throwing the ball away.
Robert Meachem almost had a touchdown, but couldn't hold on to a pass from Patrick Ramsey in the end zone at the 5:59 mark. It was a good throw, over the defender, right where it needed to be. Meachem just couldn't hold on.
9:25: After holding the Titans to a three and out on the first series, Lance Moore was back to receive the punt. So far, it's mostly backups for the Saints, but a few regular guys have gotten in.
Possible bad news, Patrick Robinson left after making the tackle on the first play with what appears to be an injured neck. We'll update when we can.
10:30: Alex Brown who could be a regular season starter at defensive end for the Saints, started with a group of mostly backups.
10:51: Garrett Hartley's 45-yard field goal gives the Saints a 3-0 lead. Hartley looked like his old dependable self with that kick right down the middle.
The Saints put together an odd drive that was aided by Titans penalties. But, hey, the backups are in.
12:59: Two consecutive penalties, the second one a 39-yard pass interference by Titans defensive back Cortland Finnegan helped the Saints offense move down to the 27 yard line. They're not starting out too sharp, but the Titans are helping out with il-advised penalties.
The Saints are starting their second offensive line and Patrick Ramsey at quarterback. Interestingly, the receivers were Marques Colston, Lance Moore and Devery Henderson.

It's good sense to let a bison keep doing its bison thing if you see one in the wild, even if all you want to do is give it a big hug. Luckily, you can now snuggle up with this beautiful throw ($190). Go on, get closer! What looks like a woodblock print is really a pattern woven directly into the wool.
