3-9x40mm Scope and Picatinny Weaver Mounts Included!
The SD96 is modeled after the infamous L96 winter rifle used by British Royal troops today. Highly accurate, rigid construction, realistic bolt, included scope and adjustable cheek rest make the SD96 one of the best airsoft sniper rifles we sell. We have pulled groupings of 2-3 inches at 50 ft using .20 gram BBs and 1 1/2 inch or less using .28 gram BBs. With accuracy like this a human size target is easy to hit at 150-200 feet once you have scope zeroed in and adjust for wind and drop. The included tri-rail bi-pod adapter is on a swivel point like the actual fire arm so when you are prone you can have the rifle comfortable against your self.
Our favorite thing about the SD96 is the affordability it offers compared to most L96 replica airsoft guns. Let alone do you get the SD96 rifle you also get the 3-9x40mm scope and mounting rings. A must have for any marksman, indoor target shooter or skirmisher looking for a reliable and accurate sniper rifle.

Intermediate Rifle
August 29, 2009
I'd say it's fine. I find all the reviews in most guns to be really crappy. The whole "Uhh this gun looks good, it shoots far, I gve it 4 sterrs.'" Rea;;y now. Ok The scope takes a bit to zero in. it will hit the target 9/10 times when zeroed in correctly. The stock feels a little small and iffy and the Mag seems a little far up from the real thing. Had one problem, there is a pin on the bolt hand, up to the bold that pushes the spring on the back of the bolt (It makes no sense either way* it seem to bounce out and lock the bolt that was annoying. Otherwise it's accurate and powerful but the barrel could be tighter fit for the BB. it's an intermediate rifle. It's fine in my opinion

How to Make Conversation – 6 Tips for Introverted Personalities
The art of making small talk can be baffling and even frightening for people with introverted personality traits! Here are six tips for making conversation for introverts plus a bonus tip for being more likeable.
"In conversation avoid the extremes of forwardness and reserve." ~ Marcus Porcius Cato "The Elder." When you're making small talk, you don't want to be too direct or "nosy", nor do you want to be too shy and retiring. The key to having a great conversation – whether you're an introvert or not – is to strike a nice balance between being curious and being quiet.
By the way – 10 Interesting Things to Talk About With Your Girlfriend – is one of my most popular articles. See? You're not alone.
The tips below explain it better; for more info on being comfortable with people, read How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. And, here are a few suggestions on making small talk for people with introverted personality traits…
6 Conversation Making Tips for Introverts
1. Be curious about other people. "People are flattered when you find them appealing – and they naturally reciprocate," says Dr Ann Demarais, psychologist and co-author of First Impressions: What You Don't Know About How Others See You. Showing interest in others increases your likeability factor because it shows you're confident. "And when you're confident, you appear more attractive," she says.
2. Follow up on bits of information. This is one of my favorite tips for making small talk because people often drop hints in their conversations! For instance, if someone mentions something about the price of gas, then ask what kind of car she has, or how often he has to gas up. People leave "breadcrumbs" in their conversational trails…you need only pick them up!
3. Follow up on your previous conversations. If an acquaintance mentioned a particular topic in the past (eg, a sick dog, job promotion, house for sale, etc), then bring it up now. This is an easy way for introverts to show their interest in others, and it increases your "likeability factor" – which helps you be more comfortable and less nervous when talking to people.
4. Really listen to what other people say. There's no point in pretending to be curious about others if you don't really care about them, or if you don't really listen to them. In fact, it could backfire! To make small talk, develop a genuine, sincere attitude towards people. Listen to their words, and follow up on what your gut tells you to say or do next.
5. Smile with your eyes. If your face feels and looks pleasant and happy, your conversation partner will feel relaxed. A happy face looks approachable and friendly. To keep your face open and happy, think positive thoughts: recall your last vacation, a funny joke, or last night's episode of "Two and a Half Men." Making conversation for introverts is easier if you're happy and relaxed.
If you're stuck conversting with someone you aren't particularly interested in, read 6 Ways to Get Out of a Boring Conversation at a Party.
6. Share positive experiences. Making conversation is much more fun – even for people with introverted personality traits – if you talk about positive things. Discuss those things in the above tip (your last vacation, a funny joke, or last night's episode of "Two and a Half Men"). Avoid negativity and complaining, because it stops small talk in its tracks – and it won't make you a more likeable person.
7. Share your mistakes. Psychological research shows that people who make mistakes are more likeable than those who appear to be perfect. People who make mistakes are seen as more approachable and less judgmental than perfect people – so don't be afraid to let all your introverted personality traits shine through! This will make people like you because they'll feel you're normal and human…just like they are.
Bonus tip for small talk: wear a light scent. Research from Northwestern University shows that a light lemon smell increases your "likeability factor." You don't have to smell like citrus to make people like you – any pleasant, barely perceptible scent is effective. A light scent may give you confidence, especially if you have introverted personality traits.

I agree — talking is draining for me, too! I'm good at making conversation, but don't really like to. And I'd much rather listen than talk.
I am extremely introverted but can make small talk appear very natural to the outside world, even though I detest it. The truth is I'd rather not talk in the first place as I find mostly any kind of talking very draining. Although there are exceptions when it comes to people I'm close to but even then I'm mostly very quiet. I don't mind if people don't talk to me as it tires me plus I don't like talking about myself and get sick of the sound of my own voice in the end. I find small talk unnecessary as I don't feel the need to verbalise my trivial thoughts. I prefer deeper, more meaningful conversations with only my partner or my family. I don't feel I need friends but have lots of people who want to be my friend as I've been told I'm very approachable, (and easy to talk to!) :o( I quite enjoy people around me making small talk for a while, as long as I don't have to be involved. I do like people. Though just from a distance! :o)
Thanks for your comments. One of my favorite tips for small talk — and I'm an introvert — is to ask questions about what the person has said. I'd much rather listen than talk, and am very curious about people….maybe sometimes I'm a little bit nosy….
I really like the tip about letting your mistakes shine through. Often introverts think a conversation has to go perfectly in order to make an impression. But being imperfect takes the pressure off and makes the other person feel more comfortable.
Also, don't try to force conversation. Judge your moods; sometimes we try too hard, and the conversations that go the best are usually the ones we don't plan. Introverts are often guilty of forcing themselves to be social even when they aren't in the mood. It's good to push your comfort zone, but do it when you are on top of your game and are feeling sociable.
Great tips!
My problem with making small talk is that I forget everything I learned when I'm actually in front of the person I'm trying to make small talk with! I'm an introvert and I get flustered and nervous easily. What works for me is to jot a few reminders on a piece of paper and look at that when I'm in the bathroom or when she's in the bathroom, and then I can usually regroup.
I like your tips, and will be making a new "cue card" with them!
What a fun article!
I love the breadcrumb idea and smile with your eyes.
People are so interesting and we LOVE it when someone takes an interest in us.
I also remember that if I am feeling "awkward" the other person may be too. So, get out of my own head and really "see" the person I'm talking with.
🙂 Susan
PS. All of these tips can be used for first dates too!

Captain Barkey's Killer Now Dead, Suicide
Kali McCarthy
October 17th, 2012
More drama has unfolded in the aftermath following the murder of Dancehall star, Wayne 'Captain Barkey' Hamilton as his alleged killer is now dead.
Joseph Kernizan, the man accused of killing Hamilton and his female companion, Tracy Bennett outside a New York motel on Saturday committed suicide on Tuesday inside a Florida-based apartment, according to New York law enforcement officials. According to several New York based publication, the 42-year-old Kernizan shot himself in the head as police tried to enter the apartment in an effort to arrest him.
New York Police Department (NYPD) officials tracked down Kernizan with the help of federal marshals and the Miami police, according to law enforcement officials, as they found him at a two-story, four-family house in Miami where the alleged killer had stayed since the killing.
After police ordered residents of the apartment to evacuate, Kernizan tried to escape, but after seeing police inside, he retreated and shot himself before a Bronx Felony Squad discovered and identified the body.
Kernizan hailed as Tracy Bennett's ex-boyfriend as the former couple had two children. However, Bennett had reportedly been dating Captain Barkey for the last five years, despite the fact that the veteran deejay had a wife.
Captain Barkey reportedly received death threats from Kernizan prior to his murder and had been warned by long-time friend and musical partner, Wickerman to disassociate himself from Bennett considering the possible risks and ramifications.
Captain Barkey was renowned within the Jamaican music community for singles like Go Go Wine and Bun Fi Bun. His body will reportedly be flown to Jamaica in a few weeks and will be buried in Portmore, St. Catherine.

The thread about peppery fragrances made me wonder about how certain notes might get certain kinds of feedback. I tend to think of positive feedback in two ways. There's like feedback, and there's lusty feedback. Citrus fragrances get me generic "You smell nice" compliments. Sometimes they're even really enthusiastic ("Ooh, I love that! What cologne are you wearing?") but they're never the sort of lusty feedback I get when wearing a fragrance with a strong amber base.
Have you noticed if certain notes get you especially good feedback? If so, which?
I get the same type of positive feedback (when it's positive) regardless of the notes.

I have a mildew smell in the small garage apartment next to our house. It is overpowering after being closed up. This apartment was constructed inside a new metal barn/garage over concrete floor. It has laminate flooring, dry wall, a kitchenette, shower, and bathroom. Garage opening was closed up and large window placed in new wall with metal siding on exterior.
I have had the heating unit and plumbing checked. Now looking for leak between outside wall and siding. I had a water leak under ground at water line connection to apartment last year.
My question: Anyone ever heard of mold growing under a laminate floor or up through concrete floor? We are exasperated.
By Katherine from Jamestown, TN
Damp areas can cause mold growth. Do a search on Google and see what you can come up with.
We had laminate flooring in our basement bathroom. The floor underneath it is concrete. We had a leaky toilet and the smell was awful! We tore up the laminate to discover the whole underside was moldy. Bleached the concrete, replaced the laminate with ceramic tile, and put in a new toilet; no more smell. So yes, it can grow mold!
We had vinyl flooring over a concrete slab, a slab which cracked all the time because it wasn't poured as thick as code required; so moisture came up through the cracks in the slab and caused the vinyl flooring to mildew. So it does happen. (We replaced the vinyl with ceramic tile since tile is supposed to "breathe" so the moisture will evaporate and not cause problems; so far seems to be working.)
Concrete is porous by nature. If it isn't plasticrete, or sealed really well in some way, it will grow mold. Being porous it absorbs moisture & it has air, all you need is to add is mold spores & there you have it.
Mold will grow where ever there is moisture. We have a concrete slab with a vinyl floor. We decided to tear it up and go with ceramic tiles. We did find mold. The installer painted the floor with some red suff to prevent any mold. The smell is gone and so is the mold. The only way to get rid of the mold and smell is to find it and clean it up otherwise it will grow and grow.
Yes, I just tore up flooring over a concrete slab. It was installed without a vapor barrier and had a musty smell. The joints on the laminate were starting to peak and buckle slightly. I was about 15 months old. There was white mold on the joints, which you could not see without removal.
Can mold grow in six days under laminate/felt back flooring on concrete where water has risen through floor seams in Spring thaw? I need to know.

One of the greatest needs for animal rescue groups is temporary foster homes. Many groups don't have a shelter and rely on their network of foster homes to care for their animals until they find forever homes. Organizations that do have shelters frequently need foster homes for very young kittens or puppies and special needs animals or when their shelter is full. Click here for a previous story on becoming a foster pet parent.
Royal Potcake Rescue in metro Atlanta is currently seeking to add to its foster home network. In 2013, the organization found homes for a total of 306 animals - 247 dogs and 59 cats. With more foster homes they can significantly increase the number of adoptions in 2014.
Founder and Executive Director Judy Marshall recently sent out the following plea for new foster homes:
We need foster homes in the Atlanta/Tucker area. We usually adopt out our animals within a month, so no one ever gets 'stuck' with a foster animal for a very long time. We provide all the food and supplies - the foster home only provides love and socialization! We ask our foster homes to bring their foster pet to the Northlake Festival Petsmart in Tucker on Saturdays, but they don't have to stay with them for the full day -- only 11 am drop off and 3:30 pm pick up (if not adopted). All the animals on our website need a foster home. We also are planning to bring back 10 potcake puppies from Abaco on January 19, so will need even more foster homes then! If you can foster, please email or private message me so we can do paperwork and home inspection (required by Georgia Department of Agriculture).
If you are interested in fostering for Royal Potcake you can send Judy a private message through the Royal Potcake Facebook page or send her an email at email@example.com.
The puppy pictured above is Pilot Potcake – a seven-month old sweetheart who is currently available for adoption. Click here if you are interested in adopting Pilot Potcake or another animal from Royal Potcake Rescue.
About Royal Potcake Rescue
Royal Potcake Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit pet rescue organization with a mission to rescue, and spay and neuter Potcakes from the Great Abaco Islands in the Bahamas. They also rescue many animals in the local Atlanta area.
"Potcake" is the Bahamian term for the thick, leftover food that remains in the bottom of a pot of peas 'n rice after several reheatings. Traditionally, Bahamians fed potcake to the outdoor, indigenous dogs that freely populated the Bahamas. Hence the dogs have come to be known as Potcakes.
The island paradise of Abaco has many homeless dogs. After visiting many times over the years, the desire to do something about the unfortunate stray dog population was realized in 2007 in the form of Royal Potcake Rescue. It all began with bringing a single needy dog from the island, and quickly developed into a network of foster homes, and Abaco, local and internet contacts.

There was period in March when running back Pierre Thomas thought he played his final game with the New Orleans Saints.
He saw the roster moves: Five players released from the Saints' Super Bowl team. Thomas, a seven-year veteran, figured he was next.
"Definitely," Thomas said. "I thought my days were over here with the Saints. At that time I heard my name being shuffled around of possibly being let go, I thought my days were over."
Thomas said he was close enough to leaving the Saints that "I was talking to other teams."
But there sat Thomas on a white cushioned chair Wednesday (June 4) during a break in a charity basketball game at Jefferson Park Gymnasium. He wore a black basketball jersey with the same No. 23 he has for the Saints.
Thomas signed a two-year extension with the Saints on March 12. By the next day, the Saints traded running back Darren Sproles to the Philadelphia Eagles for a fifth-round draft pick.
Last season, Thomas topped 1,000 yard combined rushing and receiving for the second time in his career, the first since the 2009 Super Bowl season. His 77 receptions were the most by a running back.
Thomas said he has never felt completely secure about his job since the Saints signed him as an undrafted free agent from Illinois in 2007. The Saints add running backs during every off season who want to take the job from Thomas, he said.
"Our first coach told me, 'Hey, you probably won't make it on this team. Don't give up, put your resume out there, do the best job you can and go out there and show everybody you can play in this league.' I told him with all due respect, coach, I'm gonna make this team," Thomas said.
Thomas thought last season Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson did enough late in the season to make him expendable.
"They showed what they could do in the playoffs against Seattle," Thomas said. "They showed that these guys can be here and take control and lead this team in the right direction. When it came down to it, I'm still with them, I'm happy with that."
The Saints will complete their second round of OTAs Thursday (June 5) in Metairie. Thomas said he helps the younger running backs whenever he can.
"The young guys are learning the system," Thomas said. "We're getting ready to make sure we'll be ready for the camp this year. We'll have a good, smooth camp and make sure there's no mistakes. Getting all the kinks out right now.
"I feel good about this team and we're coming together quicker than I thought. We've got a lot of smart guys that know the system real well."
Few know the Saints system now better than Thomas. No running back has been with the team as long as him.

NASA has teamed with Honeywell Aerospace to help bring its dream of the return of commercial supersonic flight a bit closer to reality. NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center and Honeywell have flight tested a cockpit display that allows pilots to visualize the location of sonic booms before they occur. With this knowledge, aircraft can change course and minimize the boom over populated areas.Read More

Whenever the topic of plant-derived biofuels is raised, the issue of turning valuable arable land over to the task of growing feedstock is generally not far behind. A discovery by the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium (SRBC) that desert plants fed by seawater can produce biofuel more efficiently than other well-known feedstocks could help alleviate such concerns.Read More
Three DARPA-funded research teams have completed a foundational study of chip-scale vacuum pumps by inventing three very different approaches to removing air from a sample chamber with a volume of one cubic millimeter, which is about one-tenth the volume of a grain of rice. These new technologies will enable many micro-scale devices which require a vacuum or a controlled flow of gas, such as Lab-on-a-Chip sensors, radio frequency MEMS switches and microscopic vacuum tubes.Read More
UK-based bargain airline easyJet has thrown its weight behind the development of an electric taxiing system in a bid to cut its fuel consumption and enhance its environmental credibility. The "electric green taxiing system" (EGTS) is a joint venture by engineering and aerospace conglomerates Honeywell and Safran. Safran claims that four percent of easyJet's fuel consumption is used taxiing aircraft before take off and after landing from and to gates. Read More
With the rising price of fuel and more stringent emissions regulations, there is a strong need for the aviation industry to begin taking steps to earn its green wings. It's not surprising therefore that biofuel was one of the hot topics at this week's Paris Air Show with both Boeing's 747-8 and Gulfstream's G450 business jet making the trip across the Atlantic on biofuel blends. The G450 flew in from Morristown, New Jersey, after a seven hour flight in which one of its Rolls-Royce engines was powered by a 50/50 blend of Honeywell Green Jet Fuel and petroleum-based jet fuel.Read More
Commercial aircraft are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, but manufacturers and operators are taking steps to tackle the problem. Operators such as Virgin Atlantic have conducted demonstration flights using biofuel, and now KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has completed its first ever passenger flight powered by sustainable kerosene.

Everything on the happy hour menu is under $5. I try to avoid paying for expensive Disneyland food whenever possible, so finding great options like this is a life saver for a mom on a budget. Read on to hear what happy hour at Shakey's is all about.
Everybody in your group is able to enjoy happy hour at Shakey's Pizza Parlor. Not only are their drink specials, but there are food options as well. So pack up the kids, the friends and even the grandparents for a yummy snack that won't break the bank.
Important things first: the drinks. On special for happy hour are select Domestic Drafts. The pint is only $3. Yes, $3. Not too shabby, but wait. The 22 ounce super mug is only $4. Is there even a debate which one to choose? Go big, or go home. Other options for sipping include Lime-A-Ritas or Straw-Ber-Ritas for $4.
Feel that hunger kicking in? Let's eat. Small one topping thin crust pizzas and boneless chicken wings are only $5. A half order of Cheesy Garlic Bread and four-piece pepperoni pizza twists are only $3. My favorite deal is the half order of the scrumptious, amazing, delicious Mojo potatoes for only $.99.
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. There are many places that only have happy hour during the week, so finding a Friday happy hour is rare. It is a great time for taking the kids for an after school snack and taking parents for an after work beer.
Happy hour specials are for dine-in only guests. That is right, no going for takeout and getting to partake in the special happy hour deals. Besides, dining in is the fun part right? Get out and socialize with the public.
No one should have to be convinced to enjoy a happy hour. Why? Because they are fun and they are inexpensive. Take the family out dinner without that stress of looking at the tab.
With prices like these, there is no excuse not to take the family out for some fun. No kids? No problem. Pop in after work or meet some friends over some 22 ounce super mugs and some yummy appetizers. Happy hour is a blunt term. Be happy. At Shakey's Pizza Parlor, guests get three hours of happy. With options under $5, your wallet will be very happy indeed. It is always good thing when a good value is found and Shakey's is has been found by OC Happy Hour Examiner.

In an effort to recognize Husky Football's senior captains in an innovative and authentic way, the University of Washington Athletics new media team created a unique tribute for the Dec. 9 Husky Football awards banquet. Each senior captain was surprised with a customized copy of EA SPORTS' NCAA Football '13 featuring their own image on the cover and packaging, along with personalized marketing collateral simulations.
"This group of student-athletes has given so much to the UW, we wanted to find a unique and authentic way to honor their efforts," Daniel Hour, manager of new media and recruiting services, said. "We knew our players have a special affinity for this video game, and we wanted to give them something that would be memorable and relevant to them."
The creative process began with a photo shoot with UW Athletics' official photography group, Red Box Photography, to capture high quality images of the senior captains. The imagery was then applied to game packaging and collateral.
After being presented to the players, the gifts were on display for fans attending the Husky Football awards banquet in Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

You know when you need a remnder that what you are doing means something? Today's guest post comes from Andrea, who I met for the first time in person during the Type-A Parent conference. Her comments to me about Just.Be.Enough. made me a)love her for life and b) realize that sometimes we just have no idea the impact that even the smallest of things can have on someone else. So I am thrilled that Andrea is here today sharing her voice, her story.
Andrea blogs regularly over at Good Girl Gone Redneck about life, motherhood and what it's like to be a native New Yorker living in NC. She misses pizza and bagels but enjoys a sweet tea and a plate of hush puppies like the rest of the South!
I am 5 feet, 2 inches tall. Sometimes the nurse tells me to add an extra half-inch. For some reason I hold onto that for dear life.
It's not much, but when married to someone who is 6 feet tall it represents something.
I am not quite sure what, but it's definitely something.
When I hold my daughter in my arms, I realize that it won't be long before I am looking UP at her.
She is five years old. She is beautiful. She is going to be tall. Taller than I am, no doubt.
Right now she falls beneath my arm. Fits right in, as though it were a crevasse made just for her. How much longer before she can't squeeze in there anymore?
Growing up my brother used to joke about stretching my legs. How I wished that were possible. A few extra inches in the right places might thin me out. Make me fit better. Height might strengthen me in all the right ways.
All those thoughts. Wishes. Wondering. Was it a waste of time? Perhaps. It was who I was. Then.
I didn't need those 4-inch heels when I walked to work from the bus stop nearly 20 blocks away.
I didn't HAVE to wear fancy shoes – even on my wedding day.
I don't wear wedges anymore. They're cute. They're trendy. I certainly like how they look.
But they aren't comfortable. They aren't me. That's not who I am.
A few extra inches will not help me grow.
My heart and mind have grown enough to represent who I am.
All of me.
Loving wife. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend.
All of me.
Standing tall at 5′, 2 1/2″ (give or take) inches.
It's all good. It's enough.
It's who I am.

On the up side it is really great that 1) they are making an attempt at 29er and 2) they are allowing us a preview.
that being said, I doubt I will be buying one, best of luck anyway.
On an edit I should clarify why I won't be buying one...I cant afford it while I am in law school with two kids.

|Published Version (German)
The belief in demonic beings (ǧinn) is widespread in the Islamic world. As these "djinn" are re¬peatedly mentioned by the Qurʾān and the sunna, it is considered kufr to deny their existence. The present contribution, being mostly based on Arabic and Persian written sour¬ces (until approx. 1500 A.D.), is concerned with a special issue of Muslim demonology. Several ḥadīṯ mention that pious ǧinn when listening to the Qurʾān asked the Prophet to assign food to them and their mounts. While their animals seem to have no special function according to these traditions, later authors are more thoroughly informed about them. They systematically use the idea of riding on, or being ridden by, demons as a metaphorical expression for different phenomena and activi¬ties attributed to the ǧinn (e.g. mental and physical illness, poetic inspiration, fortune-telling, exorcism). The article is partially based on unpublished materials on Islamic demonology collected by Fritz Meier (1912–1998) now held by the Universitätsbibliothek Basel (University Library Basle).

Every other year my family travels to Sunriver, Oregon for a family reunion. We use the time to eat, drink, and visit (with emphasis on the eating). We enjoy making recipes left by my late-grandmother and we also incorporate new favorites. My step-mom, Tracy, introduced us to a wonderful Oriental Coleslaw recipe, which I had never heard of before. I do not enjoy coleslaw as a general rule, but I found myself going back for seconds. She used ramen noodles, toasted slivered almonds, oil, vinegar, and other things I couldn't keep track of.
When I came home from vacation, I looked up several recipes online and tried 2 different ones for Oriental coleslaw, but neither one was quite as good as hers. She emailed me her recipe and I made my third batch in 2 weeks (quite possibly more coleslaw than I'd eaten in my entire life). Her recipe had small changes to others I've seen online, but in my opinion, hers is absolutely perfect. There is no other way.
Oriental Coleslaw, by Tracy Grimes
1/2 cup oil
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
4oz slivered almonds (lightly toast them before using)
1 bunch green onions, chopped
4oz sunflower seeds
1 package chicken ramen noodles
1lb package coleslaw
In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, sugar, and seasoning packet from Ramen noodles. In a large bowl, stir together coleslaw, sunflower seeds, onions and toasted almonds. Pour oil mixture over coleslaw and stir well. Crunch up the Ramen Noodles (easiest done while still in the bag before you take out the seasoning mix) into fine crumbs and pour into coleslaw. Mix well and serve immediately.

Get your bead on as Broward County Libraries launches Destination Fridays with New Orleans-style festivities! Join the fun on Friday, February 7 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC) in Fort Lauderdale. The venue is AARLCC's expansive lobby where there will be a jazz band, dancing, complimentary "Hurricane" cocktails and Cajun food (while supplies last), costumes, prizes, a fortune teller and travel discounts to New Orleans. "Broward County Library is starting a new tradition," says Regional Library Director Elaina Norlin. "This is similar to First Friday events that are held throughout the country, but ours will be destination-focused, with the opportunity to not only network and have fun, but to also learn about new places and obtain travel bargains and possibly win tickets to different destinations." Destination Fridays is an after-hours, over-21 event. Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite at a cost of $10 each. Everyone attending is invited to get in the spirit by dressing in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of gold, green and purple. Complimentary masks and beads will be provided. Free masks and beads will be provided at Destination Fridays – Mardi Gras. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center along with 2 Guys Caterers, Crossain'Time, Post Haste Travel, April's Psychic Readings, PRP Wine International, Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, Fun Generation, Broward College Jazz Ensemble, Shuck 'N Dive Cajun Café and the New Orleans Convention and Visitor's Bureau. History of Mardi Gras The origins of Mardi Gras can be traced to medieval Europe, passing through Rome and Venice in the 17th and 18th centuries to the French House of the Bourbons. From here, the traditional revelry of "Boeuf Gras," or fatted calf, followed France to her colonies such as Louisiana. New Orleans was established in 1718 and by the 1730s, Mardi Gras was celebrated openly in New Orleans, but not with the parades we know today. In the early 1740s, Louisiana's governor, the Marquis de Vaudreuil, established elegant society balls – the model for the New Orleans Mardi Gras balls of today. By the late 1830s, New Orleans held street processions of maskers "krewes," with carriages and horseback riders to celebrate Mardi Gras. Dazzling gaslight torches, or "flambeaux," lit the way for the krewe's members, and lent each event an exciting air of romance and festivity. In 1872, a group of businessmen invented a King of Carnival – Rex – to preside over the first daytime parade. Honoring visiting Russian Grand Duke Alexis Romanoff, they introduced his family colors of purple, green and gold as Carnival's official colors. Purple stands for justice; gold for power; and green for faith. In 1875, Governor Warmoth signed the "Mardi Gras Act," making Fat Tuesday a legal holiday in Louisiana, which it still is. Mardi Gras is the first Destination Fridays event, to be held on the first Friday of February. Next month will feature Destination: South Africa, coming March 7, 2014. Travel and explore the culture of South Africa. Enjoy a complimentary tasting of South African wines, enjoy food and music and enter to win two air tickets to South Africa compliments of South African Airways.
Other Scheduled Destination Fridays include: March – South AfricaApril – ParisJune – Brazil September – Greek IslesOctober – Ghana, AfricaMore Mardi Gras! Read articles on Mardi Gras and the music, characters and culture of New Orleans at African-American Experience, a free online resource available to Broward County Library cardholders. Teens, tweens and children can access info on Mardi Gras at home via online reference books, and anyone can browse the Library's catalog using key words such as "Mardi Gras" or "New Orleans."

While there appears to be a contract in place and it is only a matter of time before Sting joins the WWE for the first time in his career, it won't happen in time for a "Wrestlemania 30" match. According to PWS on Feb. 7, while some consider Sting a top priority, the people who have the most pull do not believe that he is.
That doesn't mean that people don't think Sting signing a WWE contract won't be a big deal. There is going to be a lot of money for the WWE to make from Sting, from t-shirts and merchandise as well as the eventual DVD that will easily be a best seller.
However, the idea of Sting wrestling for the WWE is not considered a priority to those in power for the company. He may have something to do with "Wrestlemania 30" but the idea is that he won't have a major role until after the event.
The big thing to think of is that Sting is a California native and "Wrestlemania 31" will take place in San Francisco. That makes Sting almost a lock for the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014 and there are still a lot of fans who want to see Sting vs. The Undertaker, which could be a huge seller for next year's "Wrestlemania" event.
While there are some in the WWE who feel Sting is not important because he never wrestled in the WWE, that is blind thinking. Whether they like it or not, Sting is one of the biggest stars in wrestling history and never needed the WWE to make his name. He will be a big signing and they will realize that the first time he comes out on WWE television.

It marks the fifth weekly honor of Wopat's career (fourth offensive).
SPREAD OFFENSE: Stanford setter Madi Bugg has controlled the offense this season, ranking second in the Pac-12 and ninth in the nation with 11.59 assists per set. She has been spreading the love amongst her teammates in the process as five Cardinal players are averaging at least 2.50 kills per set - Carly Wopat (220k/2.93kps), Brittany Howard (218/2.83kps), Rachel Williams (206k/2.71kps), Jordan Burgess (205k/2.63kps) and Inky Ajanaku (183k/2.51kps).
1,000 KILL CLUB: Senior outside hitter Rachel Williams joined an elite group of players as she registered her 1,000th career kill at UCLA on Oct. 2. Senior middle blocker Carly Wopat joined her on that list against Washington on Oct. 20. The pair are two of just 10 active Pac-12 players to have reached that plateau and become the 13th and 14th Stanford players since 1986 to accomplish the feat. They are also just the second classmates in Cardinal history to each tally 1,000 career kills (Foluke Akinradewo '08 and Cynthia Barboza '08 were the first).
Stanford Players with 1,000 Career Kills Since 1986
1. Ogonna Nnamani (2001-04) 2450
2. Alix Klineman (2007-10) 2008
3. Logan Tom (1999-02) 1939
4. Kristin Klein (1988-91) 1909
5. Kristin Folkl (1994-97) 1833
6. Kristin Richards (2003-06) 1819
7. Bev Oden (1989-92) 1753
8. Foluke Akinradewo (2005-08) 1682
9. Cynthia Barboza (2005-08) 1639
10. Kerri Walsh (1996-99) 1553
11. Cary Wendell (1992-95) 1353
12. Rachel Williams (2010-13) 1090
13. Teresa Smith (1984-87) 1070
14. Carly Wopat (2010-13) 1059
CLIMBING THE CHARTS: Senior Carly Wopat already ranks among the top 10 in school history with 565 career blocks. Recently, she moved from sixth place to fourth on the Cardinal's career charts, passing former All-American Kerri Walsh ('99) and Laura Olesen ('90), and needs 15 more to pass Cardinal great Foluke Akinradewo ('08) who tallied 579. Her 1.37 career blocks per set average would be the third-best mark in school history.
SENIOR STATEMENT: Senior outside hitter Rachel Williams is one of the Cardinal leaders this season with 2.71 kills per set. She posted double-doubles in three consecutive matches (vs. Pacific, Florida & Texas) and leads the team with eight overall. Her 21 kills against then-No. 8 Florida are the most by a Cardinal player this season.
DOMINANT DEFENSE: Junior libero Kyle Gilbert has led the defensive side of the ball for the Cardinal this season and ranks second on the Pac-12 charts with 4.93 digs per set. She set a new career high and tied the school's single match record with 33 digs against USC on Oct. 30. Gilbert is averaging 3.95 digs per set for her career, ranking second in program history behind Gabi Ailes (4.57).
CONFERENCE CHARTS: Senior middle blocker Carly Wopat ranks second in the Pac-12 with a .457 hitting percentage this season and is 10th with 3.93 points per set. Sophomore Inky Ajanaku is third in the conference with a .443 attack percentage. Sophomore setter Madi Bugg is ninth in the conference with 0.31 aces per set.
HEAD COACH JOHN DUNNING: Now in his 13th season at the helm of the Cardinal program, head coach John Dunning is one of the most accomplished coaches in the collegiate volleyball world. Dunning has four national championships under his belt, has taken teams to nine Final Fours and carried six of his 12 Stanford teams to the national championship match.
MILESTONE FOR DUNNING: John Dunning is four wins away from caprturing his 800th career victory. In 29 years as a head coach, he is 796-168 (.826), giving him a winning percentage that ranks amongst the top-5 all-time for Division I coaches. Dunning is 359-66 in his 13 seasons on The Farm, leading all active coaches in the conference by winning percentage (.844).

The injury-riddled Arizona women's soccer team suffered a 5-1 loss at Tennessee in the Wildcats' season opener on Friday night.
Outshooting the Cats 23-14 for the game, the Lady Vols dented the net three times in the first 35 minutes of the contest and never looked back. Two more goals came in the 64th and 81st minutes.
Arizona finally broke the shutout at 84:05, when junior midfielder TWILA KAUFMAN (Los Angeles, CA/Harvard-Westlake HS) snagged the ball during a scramble in front of the net. The goal was the sixth of Kaufman's career, moving her into a tie for seventh place on the UA's career goal-scoring list.
UA sophomore defender NAOMI CHU (Thousand Oaks, CA/Westlake HS) had a team-high three shots in the game, while junior forward KRISTI LOROÑA (Tucson, AZ/Canyon del Oro HS) and junior midfielder TIFFANY SABADO (Kaneohe, HI/James B. Castle HS) had two shots each.
Wildcat junior goalkeeper SHANNON MONTI (Phoenix, AZ/Shadow Mountain HS) had one save in the game. Tennessee goalkeepers Ellen Dean and Kim Sgarlata split time in the nets, combining for six saves.
Arizona stands at 0-1-0 on the year, while Tennessee gets its first win of the season and moves to 1-2-0. The Wildcats remain on the road for their second match of the weekend, at Vanderbilt on Sunday, Sept. 3, at 1 p.m. CDT.

I'm testing out Folder Redirection for several folders and I have my Desktop redirected to a network share. I created a script, saved it to my Desktop, and I'm trying to run it in an elevated CMD. However, I cannot CD into C:\Users\jsmith\Desktop in order to run the script!
I would assume that there would be some sort of link to the shared location. I've been having quite a bit of trouble with Folder Redirection so far, and I had to recover/recreate some folders, so perhaps I lost whatever link was there. Or is this behavior by design?
If there is supposed to be a link to the redirected Desktop, how do I recreate it?

This is Yappy. He is one of Stephanie Durham's current foster dogs from Animal Care Services in Greenville.
He is a super sweet boy...unfortunately he has Heartworms and needs treated. He's going to be pretty expensive because as you can tell he is a big boy.
If anyone would like to donate to help this boy, Stephanie would really appreciate it. The rescue that is taking him is where you would send donations to, and as soon as they get full amount raised, Stephanie will be able to take him and get him started.
It is a tax deductable donation.This is a link to donate using Paypal and there is a place that says "add special instructions" where you can say it is for Yappy's HW treatment or you can send a check to the PO box and just say it is for him on the check. Their information is listed below.
Home at Last Rescue PO Box 1341
North Wales, PA 19454
Please share this with anyone else that you think might want to help him. Once Yappy is treated and healthy enough for adoption, this will enable Stephanie to foster yet another GCACS dog.
Many urgent dogs die simply because foster families are full. Supporting heartworm treatment is one way to free up the system so more can be saved.

Rock, pop, country, metal; it's near impossible to be liked across most genres of music but there are a few artists that have likability, appeal, and a little something for every kind of music fan. Brad Paisley's new album Moonshine in the Trunk has the cross-genre allure, showcasing fun music, monster guitar solos and riffs, danceable beats and grooves, and the signature songwriting and twang of down-home country.
Paisley made some waves with his last album Wheelhouse, tackling hefty issues such as domestic violence and heartbreak, and with the controversial duet with L.L. Cool J on "Accidental Racist", stirred a firestorm of backlash. Getting back into his own wheelhouse, Paisley's Moonshine in the Trunk brings the fun and humor back into his music.
"Crushin' It" kicks the album off, an obvious ode to crushing beer cans, followed by the single "River Bank", a play on words with lyrics I'll be laughing all the way to the river bank, with both songs setting the tone and ride you are about to experience on the album. Other party highlights include "High Life", with some help from friend Carrie Underwood, the highly fueled title track, and making sure the celebrating doesn't stop with "Limes". Of course Paisley slips in a love song with the ballad "Perfect Storm", and "Shattered Glass" about female empowerment from the male point of view, a father to a daughter about not letting anything get in her way and to encourage breaking the glass ceiling.
The album closer is the song "Me and Jesus", a gospel song by Tom T. Hall, and the song which Paisley performed at country legend George Jones' funeral last year. Paisley delivers a heartfelt rendition for the album, acting as a cool-down from the party-hard work out of the rest of the album.
Moonshine in the Trunk delivers good vibes, fun times, and party anthems galore, a definite must for any Paisley fan, and an album to keep the summertime atmosphere going all year long.

Mr. T. has been announced as the sixth entrant into the WWE Hall of Fame 2014.
The announcement was made Monday, March 17, on TMZ and was formally announced on Monday Night RAW later that evening.
Mr. T (born Laurence Tureaud) is a television star and all across pop culture personality who was a major part of the 1980s. He got his first major break when he was cast as Clubber Lang opposite Sylvester Stallone in the 1982 film Rocky III. He also starred as B.A. Baracus in the television series The A-Team.
By that point, Mr. T was a household name and a pop culture icon. All of the projects that followed centered around the persona and "brand" that Mr. T had built for himself, including the traditional African Mandinka hairstyle, the gold jewelry and the catchphrase, "I pity the fool."
But it was his appearances in WWE that earned this spot in the celebrity wing of the Hall of Fame.
In 1985 he teamed with Hulk Hogan at the inaugural WrestleMania in a tag team battle against fellow Hall of Famers Rowdy Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. The match and the entire event was at the zeitgeist of pop culture at the time, with Hogan, T and the entire WWE machine appearing on MTV and Hogan and Mr. T even hosting "Saturday Night Live" the night before WrestleMania.
He remained a part of the WWF machine following the first WrestleMania and returned for WrestleMania 2, where he battled Roddy Piper in a staged boxing match.
From that point on, Mr. T became a favorite in the pro wrestling industry, popping up occasionally. At WCW Halloween Havoc '94 he accompanied Hogan in his Steel Cage bout against Ric Flair and later defeated Kevin Sullivan in a one-on-one bout at Starrcade '94 in December.
Ever since WWE introduced the Celebrity Wing of the Hall of Fame back in 2004, Mr. T has been one of the most requested inductions by fans and wrestlers alike. Mr. T is truly deserving of this absurd honor and was a big part of the incredibly profitable "Rock 'n' Wrestling Era" of the mid '80s.
He will join other luminaries in the Celebrity Wing including Pete Rose, William "The Refrigerator" Perry, "Mr. Baseball" Bob Uecker, Drew Carey and Mike Tyson.
No inductor has been announced for Mr. T yet, but is seemingly a sure bet that Hulk Hogan will be the one to do the honors, as Hogan is the one closely associated with Mr. T in the wrestling industry. Rowdy Roddy Piper would also make a solid choice for inductor and provide for a controversial induction speech.
Mr. T joins the star-studded cast of The Ultimate Warrior, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Lita, Paul Bearer and Carlos Colon as inductees in the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014.
This year's Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held on April 5, in New Orleans, Louisiana inside the New Orleans Arena the night before WrestleMania XXX.

Before using a coupn, really look to make sure you are getting the best savings. Often, there will be a store brand or generic of the same product that will cost even less than the product that has the coupon. Just because you have a coupon doesn't mean you are getting the best deal.
Look for ways to double up sales with coupons. This may mean hanging onto coupons for a while before using them. Getting the most out of your coupons often means shopping at more than one store. Instead of spending a large amount of money on newspapers, ask local stores that carry the paper if you can have unused copies on Monday morning. Coupon inserts may be trashed, as you will want to take advantage of this. If they allow you to have their newspapers, you can use the coupons inside.
Expert couponers know that organization and quick access is critical. Many people choose to organize their coupons by grocery category, such as frozen foods, dairy, meats, etc. Although this helpful for some people, you could also organize them according the store's layout or by the date in which they expire. Whatever approach makes things simple for you is what you should do.
Utilize your time in the most efficient way possible. It can be a challenge to use coupons. You have to be dedicated to the practice if you want to save much money. A great time to cut out coupons is right before you go to bed, as you are the most relaxed at this time. Find time whenever you can.
If you want to do well with coupons, search engine tool bars can be added to an Internet browser. Before purchasing anything online, check for coupon codes to help you save. You can get free things and other deals on almost anything you can imagine, including free shipping. Find coupons online. There are a lot of sites online that have coupons and let you print out coupons from your own computer. Simply select the coupons, print them up, cut them out and off you go. You can use these just like traditional coupons.
Coupons are used every day so do not be ashamed to use them. No one has money to waste in these economic times. People are trying many different ways to stretch those paycheck dollars. There's no reason to be ashamed for being coupon savvy and keeping extra money in your wallet. Make sure you have the best coupon. It is not uncommon for brands and retailers to present you with dozens of coupon choices. For instance, a coupon for 50% off and a coupon for 10% off may be offered. You should keep both coupons, but use the one that will save the most money now. Bring all the coupons you have when you shop, even for stuff you do not intend to buy. You just can't predict those in-store offers and sales, and your savings can be increased significantly when you use a coupon along with the sale.
Don't do yourself an injustice and use your newspaper as the sole source of valuable coupons. There are a variety of places where you can find coupons, with the internet these days the options are limitless. There are lots of websites that offer printable coupons. Try searching for your favorite item by zip codes and try to print the coupons from your home printer.
When using coupons, don't just use them whenever you get them. In order to maximize your savings amount, be patient and wait until your desired item is on sale. During this sale, use your coupon. You will be able to get more savings this way.
Do not feel like you have to purchase a certain brand. People who use coupons all of the time do not use just one brand. They are only concerned with savings and nothing more. Your savings won't be as good if you are loyal to particular brands. Once you're good at collecting coupons, be sure you try going to different stores. Every store will offer different bargains. You might have to shop at more than one store, but the amount you're saving could make it better off overall. Also, keep in mind that many grocery stores will accept coupons from other stores. Learn to create your shopping list around any money saving coupons you have. If you have coupons for an item that you can stock up on, then it is best to buy multiple items of that product if a good deal comes along. This will lead to real long run savings.
Even if you're in possession of a certain coupon, you don't have to buy that item. Lots of people tend to waste money when using coupons on items that they never intended on purchasing. Although this may seem like a great deal, it ends up costing you money if you never use the item.

A Boost for LED Lighting Development
By Leora Broydo Vestel in the New York Times, January 18 2010
As part of the government's aggressive push for more energy efficient lighting options, the Department of Energy announced Friday it had awarded more than $37 million in stimulus funds for research and development projects that will help advance the market for products that use light-emitting diodes, or LEDs.
A significant portion of the 17 projects selected to receive money were proposed by well-known lighting companies, including General Electric, Osram Sylvania, Philips and Cree. The awardees have promised to pony up an additional $28.5 million in private-industry matching funds for the projects, and to spend the money in the United States.Full article

No, George R.R. Martin won't be writing the official script to the upcoming Magic: The Gathering movie, however the writer from the popular HBO series Game of Thrones Bryan Cogman will be according to an article on Deadline.com June 12, 2014. It's important to note that there won't be just one movie, but an entire "series of films" with Simon Kinberg of X-Men: Days of Future Past as the franchise's "creative steward."
EXCLUSIVE: It was inevitable that the writers and directors of HBO's staggeringly good Game Of Thrones would begin taking over the fantasy realm in features. 20th Century Fox has set Bryan Cogman, a producer, story editor and writer on the HBO drama, to script a potential franchise movie out of the fantasy card game Magic The Gathering. It will be produced by Hasbro and Fox-based producer Simon Kinberg.
Game of Thrones is known for its gratuitous amounts of graphic violence and sex. While we suspect Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast would want the movies geared towards a broader PG audience in order to draw in more players, that might not be the exact case. A PG-13 rating, like the Lord of the Rings franchise, would allow Cogman more freedom and doesn't seem as unreasonable.
Imagine a R rated Magic: The Gathering movie for just a minute though: Everything we love about Game of Thrones, set in Magic's Multiverse. Of course, that wouldn't likely be the image Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast may want to convey - unless there was a very compelling story and reasons for doing so.
Readers, what do you think? Should the Magic: The Gathering movie show some flesh and blood like Game of Thrones or be toned down for younger crowds? Share your opinion with us in the comments below.

All images presented in this book were found individually on auction websites and online thrift stores. The majority of the photographs available were bought from sellers in the United States. Each photograph was purchased at a maximum of $10 US dollars.
No history or information was offered at the time of purchase to determine the provenance of the images. None of the photographs used were part of a collection or set; they stood alone.
I have kept the digital restoration of my chosen images to a minimum, as I want to keep the authentic appearance of the aging process.
Creating modern reproductions of 'vintage' photography in book format has its drawbacks due to the low resolution of the images; hence the small size of this book.
In my exploration of vernacular photography, I enjoyed the role of the director, placing images together and creating a new narrative.
I feel that I have created something valuable and engaging from the unwanted.
Hannah-Felicity Copely
My name is Hannah and I am a photobook artist from Leicestershire, England. I have recently graduated with an MA in Photography from De Montfort University. I work within the realms of appropriated photography. I use existing imagery to create new concepts and ideas. I have an interest in the vernacular; old snap shots, family albums... The death of a photograph as a physical (almost precious) object is something which drives me to create.

"Photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand will bring his work back to the United States - to New York City for the first time in 2009. Aiming to inspire people to think globally about sustainable living, Arthus-Bertrand has been photographing unique views of our planet, seen from the sky, since 1994 - and has produced an exhibit of over 150 4-ft. by 6-ft. prints which will be on display in New York City at the World Financial Center Plaza and along the Battery Park City Esplanade from May 1, 2009 to June 28, 2009. When completed in New York City, the Earth From Above exhibit will also move on to California in 2010."

Led by Kiersten Schrope's double-double and its best defensive performance of the season, the Eastern Hancock girls basketball team rolled Morristown Thursday, 58-31.
The Royals (12-4) improved to 4-2 in Mid-Hoosier Conference play by limiting the Yellow Jackets to single digits in three of four quarters. The 31 points allowed were a season-low for EH.
Schrope notched 12 points and 13 rebounds, her fourth double-double of the season. She added seven assists and four steals.
Hannah Best (22 points, four rebounds) and Peyton Neisler (10 points five rebounds) also contributed for the blue and white, which has won eight of its past nine contests.
