Verdasco experimenting with racquets
Fernando Verdasco continues to try out various racquet prototypes and is currently playing with a more "flexible" frame during Spain's Davis Cup tie against Ukraine on the red clay of Madrid.
Former world No. 7 Verdasco won his opening singles rubber on Friday over Alexander Dolgopolov. He is said to have experimented with various Babolat and Dunlop frames this year.
"I had doubts about the one I was using," Verdasco told El Pais. "The results weren't coming and I needed a change. I'm trying this [new] one out by altering the internal elements of the frame."

Really liked the fan casing, blades and the hardware seems to be good quality; very quiet and balanced, not flimsy or light, but the fan was missing the bottom 'cap' that finished the light, and the pull cords were missing the end pieces. Overstock did their best to get it replaced, great customer service, but a second delivery was missing the same parts despite them being visible on the product photo. Overstock offered me a discount instead. The remote is very small and light, doesn't seem druable at all; a weird little attachment tab on the back hooks into the wall mount; I can see it breaking off with one wrong bump...Was kind of strange that part could not be sent, nor the pull ends; a big ordeal overall. In all fairness, I purchased a second fan that had all parts and is wonderfully quiet. I'd buy from them again even with the cosmetic problem of the missing pieces.
This was the only fan I bought that wasn't Hunter and if I had to do it over again, I would not have bought this brand. Fairly easy to install, however I could not get it balanced all the way. It only shakes when turned up to full blast, so not a huge deal. However, the Hunter fans I bought did not require any balancing at all, which was great!
I like the look of this fan, but the eco bulbs don't give off much light and they buzz which drives me nuts. But it looks nice in the room, and the remote control will be nice in the summer when I'm using the fan more.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? consistent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate
Ordered this for our living room. We are using it as a flush mount. Beautiful. great value for the price. Only one problem, the remote they sent us was for 220 and it should be 110. Still need to find number for company to exchange it.

Wine Maker Notes
Deep crimson in colour. Aromas of sweet, lifted, spicy blueberries, plums, blackberries, anise and mace, with stone-fruit and floral hints. Showing soft, rich and bright spicy peppery fruit on the palate. The texture is juicy and lush with layers of velvety tannins and great length.
Wine Review
A solid red, with distinctly peppery character carrying through from the first whiff to the final sip, offering dark berry and black olive flavors. Some won't like the touch of bitterness on the finish, but this feels balanced. Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Viognier. Drink now through 2012. Wine Spectator 90 points. Harvey Steiman (10/15/08)

Classic Hard Rock Keyboardist specializing in the sounds of Heavy Rock Organ. Got a unique midi strap-on rig, running some hi-tek software. Am able to replicate the tones you recognize from famous recordings by Deep Purple, Santana, Steppenwolf, Doors, Styx, Rascals, Vanilla Fudge, Uriah Heep.
Grew up in Nutley, NJ which is a northern suburb of Newark. Have played professionally since 1968. During a break from playing music, I travelled and spoke on stage all across the USA & Canada. Finally got married in my early 40's and eventually moved to the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the late 90's. Became a fairly well-known musician, playing many of the country's major venues, working out at the Caribbean Sound Basin, and even performed for the Prime Minister of the country... twice!
After becoming a daddy at almost the age of 50 I moved to Florida. I got too used to the hot weather and palm trees, to ever move back to snowy, cold, NJ in the wintertime. I've got a good gig in the 'straight' world. But... I still get a sweet rush playing heavy organ-driven classic rock!

Florida has already had a season full of lasting memories
Published: Sunday, March 16, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 17, 2014 at 12:21 a.m.
ATLANTA — Billy Donovan climbed down from the ladder and headed for his wife, Christine, standing at the middle of the court. He handed her a pair of three-inch pieces of nylon, one from each net, suitable for display.
"She always does that," he said. "She frames them."
You knew nets would come down for somebody Sunday at the Georgia Dome and for about 30 minutes it was clear who would be doing the cutting. But in what felt like a blink of an eye, Kentucky came storming back with a Big Blue Wave behind it.
The Wildcats scored 14 straight points and it was getting loud, like standing next to a jet engine loud.
And because Florida treated the free-throw line like it was a turnover, this SEC championship came down to one play.
That's what happens in games like this where both teams want it so badly. Give Kentucky credit for coming back. Give Florida perfection.
"I knew they would drive it. That's what they do," said Donovan, his voice raspy from three days of yelling instructions. "The key was Scottie Wilbekin's defense on (Andrew) Harrison."
Yep, and the key for this year's success in the close games is all that these players have learned. Because when Wilbekin and Dorian Finney-Smith missed front ends of 1-and-1 free throws — potential game-losing misses — they didn't mope.
"Our guys have learned in the moment of something negative happening, re-focus and do the next thing that you need to do. You could have come out of that timeout Kentucky called with 14 seconds left, Dorian Finney-Smith hanging his head, Wilbekin hanging his head, I missed a free throw. I can't believe it.
"Now they aren't even thinking about the next possession. They're worried about what happened at the free-throw line. They did that in their careers. That was a problem for them. That's where they have gotten better."
Instead of lamenting his big miss, Wilbekin locked in on Harrison. The Kentucky guard tried a couple of moves to drive the lane but found nothing.
"He couldn't get by him," Donovan said. "When you eliminate penetration, it makes it hard for an offense."
Harrison handed the ball off to James Young who came around the defense going what seemed like 100 miles an hour.
"He was going so fast," Donovan said.
Too fast.
Young's foot slipped as he tried to cut and the ball went flying. Wilbekin dove to the ground "like a piranha," Donovan would say later.
"In our last Kentucky game there was a loose ball and I didn't dive on it," Wilbekin said. "Will (Yeguete) and Casey (Prather) yelled at me for not diving on the ball and I felt bad. So I thought about that and there was no way I wasn't going to dive on it this game."
And the horn sounded.
Anyone who thought this team came here with nothing to play for (heard it) or needed a loss before the NCAA tournament (heard that, too) should have seen the celebration.
Because this team is about winning. These seniors are now the gold standard in the SEC. They're Perfect Oh-Tens. You may not be impressed with their individual talent or the three-bid SEC, but 21-0 is 21-0 no matter who or where or why you are playing.
Maybe they were lucky that Young slipped. It looked like he might have been able to get past Michael Frazier II, who had picked him up after the handoff.
But sometimes you need a break.
"There is a level of luck that comes into these situations," Donovan said.
And he mentioned UConn this season and Chandler Parson's 70-footer three seasons ago and Gonzaga in 1999 (I guess that really stuck with him).
But it takes more than luck to go 104 days of a basketball season without losing one game.
They'll have at least a few days more before that possibility will exist again. The time to put this heart-stopping game in the past happened as you picked up your newspaper from the driveway.
"We wake up this morning, this is in the past," Frazier said. "So I think we have to do a good job of understanding that we need to focus on our next point and focus on our next goal."
The next one is the big one. But no matter what happens, this has already been a season of memories and confetti and trophies and pieces of nylon.
It's already a season that deserves to be framed.

This study considers the relationship between perfectionism and perceptions of work–family conflict. A situational component to perfectionism was found, with higher standards and a higher perceived discrepancy between standards and performance at home versus at work. Findings suggest perfectionism predicts work–family conflict, beyond the effects of the Big Five, trait affectivity and achievement. Further, findings indicate those with adaptive perfectionism (AP; work and home) tend to have lower strain and time-based family interfering with work and lower behaviour-based work interfering with family, compared with maladaptive perfectionists (home) and non-perfectionists (work and home). Gender differences were found and considered in a more exploratory manner.

How much does college cost? Nobody really knows
Our take: Consistent with other coverage from the Deseret News on the rising costs of college, this piece in the Atlantic looks at the additional costs that are often hidden. The article suggests that as bad as reported costs are, they may actually understate the problem:
If you're a parent, and you don't suffer palpitations whenever the topic of paying for college comes up, congratulations: You're either unusually mellow, or unusually wealthy. Higher education is expensive, and getting more so by the year.
But how expensive? Ah, that's a trickier question. What we talk about when we talk about the price of a degree can be a bit murky, thanks to the vast variations in tuition, financial aid, and lifestyle choices that determine how much a student spends during their time on campus. For parents paying the tab, and for wonks who'd like to make higher education more affordable, it's useful to have a realistic baseline for how much a bachelor's actually runs these days.

Possibly this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Through user fow in #vim on freenode, I've confirmed no side effect in 7.3.409, but there is a side effect in 7.3.547 (the version on my computer.)
The easiest way to test is to copy paste the following file into a vim buffer, jump to the beginning (gg) and follow the instructions.
Hi there, this is a test case.
This line is short.
After opening this file issue the following commands:
$j:set cuc<Enter>k
You'll notice that the cursor should be on the period after "case" this is expected behavior.
Next enter the following commands:
:set nocuc<Enter>$hj:set cuc<Enter>k
You'll notice that the cursor should now be on the word "a" rather than on the "e" at the end of "case"
So when you have a column value (not end of line) then :set cuc modifies this value as a sideeffect.
Is there anyway to workaround this issue? Is this a bug? Can anyone else reproduce?

Posted on 09/04/2012 6:24:32 PM PDT by moneyrunner
It's time that someone started doing a little checking. Major General Jerry Curry, US Army (Ret) asks questions about some curious purchases. Who does the government intend to shoot?
Have you been to a Social Security Administration office? What is it doing with guns?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirms that it is purchasing 174 thousand rounds of hollow point bullets to be delivered to 41 locations in major cities across the U.S. No one has yet said what the purpose of these purchases is, though we are led to believe that they will be used only in an emergency to counteract and control civil unrest. Those against whom the hollow point bullets are to be used those causing the civil unrest must be American citizens; since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their citizens.
What would be the target of these 174, 000 rounds of hollow point bullets? It cant simply be to control demonstrators or rioters. Hollow point bullets are so lethal that the Geneva Convention does not allow their use on the battle field in time of war. Hollow point bullets dont just stop or hurt people, they penetrate the body, spread out, fragment and cause maximum damage to the bodys organs. Death often follows.
Are the men and women at the SSA going to shoot people is there's a problem instead of calling the police?
What about the atmospheric scientists at NOAA?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has ordered 46,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition. Notice that all of these purchases are for the lethal hollow nose bullets. These bullets are not being purchased and stored for squirrel or coyote hunting. This is serious ammunition manufactured to be used for serious purposes.
Or DHS?
In March DHS ordered 750 million rounds of hollow point ammunition. It then turned around and ordered an additional 750 million rounds of miscellaneous bullets including some that are capable of penetrating walls. This is enough ammunition to empty five rounds into the body of every living American citizen. Is this something we and the Congress should be concerned about? Whats the plan that requires so many dead Americans, even during times of civil unrest? Has Congress and the Administration vetted the plan in public....
Why buy all this ammunition unless you plan to use it. Unknown to Congress, Does DHS plan to declare war on some country? ...
Is there some private army that's being created outside of the police and the military? I have been reading about this and have dismissed it. After all, we really don't have a history of military coups. But what's the purpose of all this ammunition being delivered to "civilian" members of the government?
We have local police, backed up by each states National Guard, backed up by the Department of Defense. So in addition to all these forces why does DHS need its own private army? Why do the SSA, NOAA and other government agencies need to create their own civilian security forces armed with hollow nose bullets?
Were I the JCS, and if I wasnt already fully briefed on this matter, Id stop the purchase of hollow point bullets, ask the secretary of Defense why all this ammunition is being purchased and spread around the country? If I got answers like the ones Congress got during the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious Id start tracking all ammunition deliveries nationwide to find out what organizations and units are using them, for what purpose and, if it is not constitutional, prepare to counteract whatever it is that they are doing.
We know the answer: if one was old, on SS or close to it, and lost it all, one is bound to get 'upset' and those running things can't have that, that is all.
The Democrats don't have any problems with guns as long as they get to say who the guns are pointed at.
All this talk of domestic terrorists from Janet Napolitano tells me they expect to need those bullets to combat US when we get mad as hell. What other explanation could there be ?
Zombies, of course. The government is "prepping." It's the greatest of the latest fads. If they prepare for the "marauding hordes," they'll stay rich and live forever. ;-)
It does seem suspicious that the Federal government should have so much need of VAST quantities of ammunition, particularly hollow-point, which makes a devastating wound on exit.
Maybe they are getting ready to transfer this supply of ammo to the Mexican drug cartels?
Or is it to cause an artificial scarcity of this kind of ammunition domestically?
Seems like overkill. Only, who is going to be overkilled?
For anyone who is buying into the argument that 1.2 billion rounds of ammo is just a normal purchase bear in mind that the military only used about 70 million rounds per year in Iraq.
you may have a point I didn't think of and thats to make ammun. shortage nation wide, buy up all they can...Lefty's cannot shoot straight..
The government should fear it's citizens, not the other way around.
Maybe they should be looking over their shoulders. People are fed up.
Le sigh.....
I was told that each federal agent must shoot something like 25,000 rounds a year at the practice range as part of job skill maintenance. As there are about 20,000 of these people.....do the math. It's a lot of rounds, but harmless in intent.
My theory: SS and other agencies are buying ammo for Homeland Security, which will be the domestic version of the US Military for putting down any insurrections.
Which year; how many men/women; and whose statistic are you using, and where can I verify your number?
I remember that during his first presidential campaign, the Bamster stated on camera that he wanted a domestic federal police force that was as big and well armed as our military. Does anyone have the link to this?
I'd be wary of flying pigs crapping on my head before I would ever believe that each federal agent fired 25,000 rounds per year for practice/qualification. If, for the sake of argument, that each magazine held 10 rounds, that would make 2,500 magazines per agent fired. Say, for the sake of argument, that each agent practiced/qualified once a month, that would be 200+ magazines per month fired. NONSENSE!
Say, for the sake of argument, that each agent practiced/qualified once a week, that would be 50+ magazines fired per week. With automatics, is that really so much? Burrrrrp, clip change, burrrrrrp, clip change, burrrrrp, clip change. Wouldn't take but 30 minutes. MAKES SENSE!
This move MUST be to dry up supply and availability, while raising prices.
Giving a bunch of pencil pushers, weapons, is not exactly a threat to the American people.
Now, I know there are a lot of desk jockies, like me, who cringe at this characterization.
But, given the agencies these newly endowed staffers work for, what are the odds they have ever fired a weapon or are the least bit proficient with one?
What are the odds that a USMC fresh recruit has ever fired a weapon or is the least bit proficient with one? How long does it take the USMC to create a superb marksman? Not that long, really, when you think about it....what, 3 or 4 months?
500 rounds a week on average? Not credible.
Moonrunner - I was a Fed - We qualified four times a year - 60 rounds each time - plus we were given a box of 50 as practice ammo. Those who shoot more are SWAT type teams, and even then the average agent does not fire near 25,000 rounds. 25,000 rounds would be fired by those testing an arm proposed for adoption by his service.
Most firearms will not last even 10,000 rounds before they become too worn for practical use and become dangerous.
For instance: Out of all people working in some way for the vast federal government, how many carry weapons, or are required to be proficient with weapons of varying kinds? How often do departments purchase weapons and ammunition? For how many years must the purchase last? Are there bulk discounts? Are there joint purchases with other departments? How often do "agents of the government" have to practice firearm use? How many rounds does it take to train a raw recruit? How long is the training program? How many rounds does an agent carry with him during his normal duties? How many rounds/year is he required to practice?
I have so many questions with so few answers. But it seems that some people want to immediately veer down the "conspiracy road" before knowing much about it, if anything at all, other than the number of bullets purchased.
What happened to critical thinking in this country?
These supplies are being stockpiled for use in suppressing anticipated civilian insurrections in the next three years. Large numbers of Government officials are thinking along the same lines as the most paranoid survivalists. I have met some of them. They also have fiscal year-end budgets to spend down. Why not place that order?
And while the prospects of a mob sacking the offices at NOAA (what???, they have an armory for the weather guessers??) are somewhat unlikely, the odds of a violent confrontation at the Social Security office are well within betting range.
The Child Support Agency in my metro area already has a very polite and conspicuously armed receptionist at their main location. Discreetly armed guards roam the perimeters. They do know the inclinations of their clientle.
That ammo dump at NOAA is definitely surplus to requirements though. It will probably be diverted to supply one of the pro-government citizen militias that are organized when the military becomes unreliable.
When I qualified in the USMC it took 250 rounds. One week of training followed by a week of range firing of 50 rounds per day.
Seems a little short of 25,000 rounds.
I was a hard practicing competative IPSC shooter in the 90's. I put a little under 100,000 rounds out of my favorite racegun in just a few years. I had an indoor range to myself most of the time and spent a couple hours a day practicing. It was hard work, with a lot of focus on good quality practice. To get over a couple thousand rounds a month of good practice, unless that is all I did for several days a week, was nearly impossible without just wasting ammo. That's with 27 round magazines, fast guns and fast targets, virtually unlimited ammo available.
Yes, you can hose away and put a lot more down range, and sometimes I did. But even a government agency like NOAA cannot take half trained non tactical team members and have them use up even a small portion of the ammo bought.
Not saying there is a conspiracy. But even if there were, your average half trained gov't bureaucratic desk driving idjit with a handgun is not much of a threat (other than maybe to each other). Yeah, the military, FBI, HRT, and many LEO special weapons teams are good at their trade and practice a lot. Anyone else is going to mostly be in the way.
I don't think you can categorically state a number like that. It depends on the gun, make/model, ammo used, etc. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-434260.html
Secondly, I, too, was concerned about what appeared to be excessive volumes of rounds being purchased. Two days ago I brought the matter up with my brother-in-law, who is a Republican (Tea Party type) Congressman, whom I shall not name. He gave me the 25,000 rounds/agent figure along with a figure of 20,000 agents to help explain to me the volumes involved. We did not discuss it in detail. Apparently, he made inquiries as a result of many calls he was receiving.
I am simply repeating his statement to me about the issue. Take it up with your own Congressmen, if you are seriously concerned.
Finally, there seem to be two types of people around here: a) those who examine and search for facts before coming to conclusions and b) those who form snap conclusions and then search for info to verify that conclusion, ie, the conspiracy buffs. I am a Type-a person and frankly loath speculation as a waste of time. Let me again make a plea for more research on the topic, which IMHO, is now sorely lacking.
"3 or 4 months?"
Do you think we might notice large groups of federal desk jockies starting weapons training?
I just received a copy of a Teacher's Union letter, where the leaders are encouraging the rank and file to protest tonights School Board meeting.
(our county has elected a conservative school board)
Even though these groups are 98% liberal, the other 2% will leak and broadcast their plans.
Scooter, I appreciate your comments. What I find
interesting is that I never viewed the clerks at the Social Security administration, or the people manning the NOAA vessels in the Norfolk harbor as the kind of people who would be carrying guns. I was under the impression that if someone got ugly in the social Security office they would call the cops, not whip out a gun and start shooting with hollow-points. It seems that a lot of the civilian government departments have either created their own police force, or that guns have been issued to people who work for the government but are not part of law enforcement. Should we expect the mail carrier to be armed? How about the clerk who sells you your stamps?
Even as there is an attempt on the part of Liberals in government to deny civilians outside of government the right to own and carry guns, the people in government are being armed in increasing numbers. While this is not a reason to set up barricades or fit ourselves for tinfoil hats, it should set off a very faint alarm bell. What is going on and why are the non-military branches of the government stockpiling ammunition? And, no, 25,000 rounds of hollow-point ammo for practice is not a plausible number. As an aside, when I shoot for practice I dont us hollow point ammo. Much too expensive.
My friends that work for the feds that do real criminal investigative work qualify four times a year. I have shot their course and it doesn't come anywhere near 25000 rounds. Or ever 250 rounds.
They can, however, shoot up to 16 times a year if they wish but few do.
Also, if fed shot 25000 rounds a year, that would be in excess of the life expectancy of the pistol they were issued. They would get a new weapon every year.
Something else is going on with those rounds being purchased....
I see it's been covered before. Perhaps someone missed the first time.
You're welcome.
Posted on FR Aug 21 Scoot.
I retired from a very large corporation and witnessed over the years the effects of unbridled departmental power grabs. It results in inter-departmental battles for control and only ends up affecting production, corporate goals, and morale.
Bad management and a lack of fiscal control. Anyway, that's my take on it. Good points, by the way MR.
Without knowing how many of the staff on that chart are currently carrying, using, and training with firearms, and for what period of time, and the dispersal of the purchases...I, personally, am unable to make any logical assumptions at this point regarding the deployment of such a purchase. You are free to draw conclusions from your perspective and appreciation of the known facts.
Personally, with the huge size of the agencies involved, I fail to see anything devious at this point, and refuse to speculate. Time, of course, will tell. I am always willing to admit being wrong.
Have you ever fired a weapon? Automatic pistols are not machine guns, you pull the trigger and one shot is fired, then AUTOMATICALLY the next round is chambered for the next trigger pull. The feds, state or locals generally do not issue or use machine pistols (although some drug cartels do). Secondly, it stretches the core of common sense to think feds, other than spec ops, would even practice/qualify at intervals less than quarterly and for most it is only annually which is like pulling teeth to get them to the firing range. I'm sure that you are aware that most of the agencies do not have firing ranges in their offices and must schedule and travel to ranges where range operators, supervisors, medical, and supply personnel are available. I'm sure that with the proper application of pixie dust anything is possible.......
What would you have that would satisfy your desire for "more research"?
I have spoken with my Congressman, other political leaders, and Government officials at various levels. I also have various contacts in Law Enforcement and Military organizations.
The conclusions that I reach from available data are unsettling to say the least. The numbers simply do not fit any scenario for "training needs". More data and more research does not improve the conclusions.
At best we have a large number of fashionable bureaucrats in all branches of government who want to equip their own para-military forces. They are being given permission to do so with little oversight or follow-up. What could possibly go right under such conditions?
Congressmen are in the business of reassuring the public. I do not find their reassurances very convincing. As for "taking up the matter with your own Congressman" - I have. He is not interested in such conversation.
Nobody in Government wants to talk about that elephant that is hidden under the blanket. (Blanket? What blanket?).
If you have serious doubts about what he expressed to me, call your own Congressman and find out what the agencies are telling him/her. In fact, it would be an interesting exercise to see if they are being fed similar stories in justification of these purchase orders.
Please let me know if you uncover any new facts.
So your Congressman refused to talk to you about it, and as a result, you have no information at all from him on which to base your assumptions? Did you "talk" to him in person, on the phone, or via electronic means? Exactly how did he convey to you that he was not interested in this topic, and what were his precise words? Do you have it documented?
Nobody in Government wants to talk about that elephant that is hidden under the blanket. (Blanket? What blanket?).
Nobody? So, I assume you talked with, or tried to talk or communicate in some manner, to them ALL in order to state this so confidently?
And so far, this "elephant" is composed of what list of hard facts? If they are "hidden", how have you come to see them?
1) Over twenty Federal agencies are known to be buying quantities of ammunition which are orders of magnitude greater than anything in their history. In many cases, organizations which were not known to have armed forces have now been identified through these purchases.
The purchase contracts are a matter of public record in the Federal Register and the list of buyers has been published in many forums along with the known quantities.
2) The widely quoted estimate of 25,000 rounds per armed federale is obtained by dividing the total purchase quantities by the employee populations of the affected agencies. It is a very conservative underestimate. Less than 30% of any agency population has official weapons. Unarmed support staff comprise most of the ranks. Even in the FBI, ATF, and Secret Service, the shooters are an elite minority.
Range time is very expensive and training budgets are the first thing that gets cut as funds dry up. Others in this forum have mentioned the paltry supplies of ammunition that most armed agents are allocated for their annual qualifications.
Math is simple. Divide one number by another. When the result seems way too large, start asking why that is so.
3) I have spoken in person with my Congressman and been given bland reassurances that all is well, along with polite insistence on changing the subject. (He is very busy you know and has many more people waiting). That is certainly useful information in which to help reach an assessment. It does not, however, improve the conclusions that I reach.
Your mileage may vary of course. Perhaps your Congressman is paragon of virtue who would never mislead you and you can trust his every word. If he says "nothing to see here, just move along" then you are free to believe him.
BTW - did you have it documented? No, I did not supposed that you did. Congressman do not like to be recorded on potentially controversial subjects.
4)My sample size of contacts is certainly not ALL people in Government, and is subject to "confirmation bias" (after all I can only talk with people who are willing to talk with me.)
Even so, there are more than enough data points to disprove the thesis that Government is stockpiling ammunition for training needs. Whatever could they be doing then?
There are not enough data points to disprove the thesis that Government officials are planning to suppress civilian insurrections in the near future.
If I saw more real training activities that would be using up the new inventory, I would be less extreme in my conclusions. Likewise, if I saw postponements and order cancellation by managers who say "Aww, we don't need this stuff after all", I would be quite relaxed.
I don't see this things. Do you?
In fact a Texas Government official recently made an appalling public statement that his department was explicitly planning to suppressing insurrections after the next election.
There was the not so recent call from the Governor Beverly Perdue (D-NC) to cancel elections altogether, so that Congress could "solve the National Debt crisis" and "allow members of Congress to focus on the economy". [No, No, that was just a joke. She didn't really mean what she said in those prepared remarks did she? Besides that was so last year...]
When I see once cockroach, I generally conclude that there are about one hundred more that I do not see.
If you present yourself as sympathetic and like-minded, you too can get some astonishingly candid statements from your local officials about their need for security and control of certain population segments. Such items are "off-the-record" of course.
Some of the people I meet are very uneasy - and they are the ones supposedly in charge.
If I were in an official public-facing capacity, I too would be making soothing noises - and quiet plans for protection of my staff.
Read the above carefully. Here's how I figure there is nothing to be alarmed about. ATK was awarded a contract by DHS for (up to a maximum) of 450M rounds of .40 caliber ammunition "over 5 years". That's roughly 90M rounds/yr. If your figure of 30% of DHS are "carrying", then 30% of 208,000 staff is 62,400 that are carrying. That means 1,442 rounds/yr per person, or about 120 rounds per month.
Is this excessive? How much ammo do staff carry on a day-to-day basis; how much is required for training programs; and how much is expended in ongoing skills practice sessions?
I don't know enough to say anything. But this quick "back of the envelope" scribbling suggests to me that it doesn't seem like anything to worry about (regarding DHS).
So the Department of Homeland Security is going to use 90 million rounds per year of just one caliber (.40) "for training purposes"? This does not really pass the smell test.
And they have other large purchases in the works for .223 rifle ammunition, .357 pistol ammunition and .50 caliber machine gun ammunition, and... [urp! .50 cal. What ????]. Total pending buys are estimated at 1.4 billion rounds of mixed caliber munitions from multiple vendors. Deliveries are not necessarily spread over a five year period either.
For example, the USFS wants 170,000 rounds of mixed ammunition for urgent delivery - in September. Other agency solicitations call for delivery in October.
None of this information is secret. It is openly published on government web sites. It is just tedious to find. Check out this little gem:
Bear in mind that 1 "unit" is a standard case of 1000 rounds.
I wonder what the significance of those required delivery dates might be?
Say, Isn't there some special event scheduled for November 2012?

I really like this song. It's different than what I listen to, normally. Keep up the good work! ^_^
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It's definitely dubstep.
yeah the track has a nice wobble in the background, but you seem to have focused to much DnB into this one. It isn't bad otherwise, so I'm not downvoting. For your first attempt? this is great. 5/5 10/10 yo.
Keep it up. Make it sound more crunchy and dirty.
(that wobble was to quiet)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Not bad
The mix was pretty good. It felt more like a mix of dance/DnB though. Just didn't feel crunchy enough to me.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
not sure but i give this nr 5 star and nr 3 vote
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The first 10 seconds really made me think of a band called Insomnium (i.e. song- Daughter of the Moon). TOTALLY different genres here though! lol
Anyway, good mix. Keep this stuff up.

The press release headline gets right to it.
Dodgers Name Joe Torre 26th Manager in Franchise History. Future Hall of Famer hired to pilot Los Angeles in 2008.
Problem is, Torre will be piloting a prop plane with no power, no guarantees its highest paid player can pitch, and no parachutes. When owner Frank McCourt is done with you, he just pushes you out the fuselage door. Hey, look, isn't that Grady Little hurtling toward earth?
Either Torre has lost his mind, or McCourt and wife Jamie, who doubles as vice-chairman and team president, have actually decided to quit ripping off Dodgers fans and put together a team capable of winning something other than the annual National League attendance figures. I vote for Torre and lost his mind.
McCourt is from Boston, tried to buy the Red Sox, and discussed moving them out of Fenway Park to, ta-da, land he owned in South Boston. Brilliant. He bought the Dodgers in 2004 and already is on his third manager, third general manager, and who knows how many image consultants.
Jamie McCourt, whose baseball credentials include a French degree from Georgetown and a diploma from La Sorbonne at the University of Paris, is, according to the team's information guide, "the highest ranking female executive in baseball today" (Of course she is -- she married the owner!) and "oversees the strategic planning and development for the franchise."
Some plan. They fired two managers (Jim Tracy and Grady Little) who led the Dodgers to the playoffs. They spent $47 million on Jason Schmidt, who underwent shoulder surgery in late June and might, if the Dodgers are lucky, be a No. 4 or 5 starter. Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers calls Frank McCourt "the parking lot attendant" and Jamie McCourt "screaming meanie." So needless to say, the McCourt ownership regime hasn't exactly captivated the city.
Now they hire the respected Torre, who takes a pay cut (from about $7.5 million per year to about $4.5) and a talent cut (no Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, etc.) to take the Dodgers job. He goes from New York Yankees dictator George Steinbrenner (and sons) to McCourt (and wife).
"Throughout his career he has demonstrated the ability to turn a vision for success into results on the field and we welcome his passion and leadership," said GM Ned Colletti in the release. "We have tremendous fans and they deserve no less."
And yet, they've gotten less for years. The Dodgers have won exactly one playoff game the past 19 seasons. They haven't won a World Series in 20 years. Thank god for Vin Scully.
Torre is supposed to reverse the inertia, the irrelevancy. It isn't going to happen. Torre is indeed a future Hall of Famer, but before he came to the Yankees he had one first-place finish: 1982, with the Atlanta Braves. Even in 1996, his first season with the Yankees, he had players. The Opening Day lineup at Cleveland featured Wade Boggs, Mariano Duncan (a first base coach for the Dodgers in 2007), Paul O'Neill, Ruben Sierra, Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Gerald Williams, Jeter and the man who just replaced Torre in New York, Joe Girardi. They won a World Series that year.
The Dodgers aren't going to win a World Series in 2008. At least, they're not going to win it because Torre replaced Little.
They need starting pitching. Right now, it's Brad Penny, Derek Lowe, Chad Billingsley and Then What.
Everybody needs starting pitching. What else is new? But after spending the $47 mil on Schmidt, do you think the Dodgers are going to make a run at, say, free agent Carlos Silva? Don't think so.
And maybe the McCourts will shock us, but I'm not counting on A-Rod making a soft landing in Chavez Ravine. Mike Lowell, maybe. A-Rod, no. He'll play for Los Angeles, but it will be the Angels before the Dodgers.
Still, Torre isn't coming to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dodgers have some serious young talent on the roster and in the pipeline including: outfielders Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Delwyn Young and infielders Russell Martin, Andy LaRoche, James Loney and Tony Abreu (when Jeff Kent is gone).
The bullpen is solid (Takashi Saito with Jonathan Broxton as a possible closer-in-waiting). And left-hander Scott Elbert (shoulder surgery) and right-hander Bryan Morris (Tommy John surgery) have potential if they recover from those injuries.
But there's no way Torre agreed to this deal without assurances from the McCourts that they'd bump up the payroll and fill in some potholes. And even then, the Dodgers still have to deal with the Colorado Rockies, the Arizona Diamondbacks (who will have starting pitching issues of their own, though) and the San Diego Padres.
Torre will make a difference, but he won't make THE difference. That only happens if the McCourts decide to get serious about winning games. What are the chances of that happening?
Ask Grady Little. He'll be smashing against the ground soon.

I agree, very good thread. Got some good tips on running any dog. Next Saturday we will not be running the same marks, guess it will just depend on wind direction and temps.
Yes, on Wayne's son's mark I had it set with too light a duck so it did carry a lot farther, plus the wind had picked up at that time. Sorry about that Wayne I know you had no way of knowing how...
Have to brag a little on this RMR pup! He has now run 5 derbies and has 5 ribbons. Today he won his derby and has 9 derby points.
Will attach the latest Facebook post we have on him...
We did consider naming one of our Holland Pups RMR's Eggs Benedict and still might, but I believe Lesa and I have already come up with different names for our Holland x Vida pup we are keeping and...
Ok, Dr Ed, here is what you need to do. Take the poached eggs, slice of Canadian Bacon on an English Muffin or Piece of Toast and add "Hollandaise" Sauce.
Viola.............Eggs Benedict.
Yes, as Gunnerup said you can train everyday and even multiple times in a day as long as you and your puppy are excited about it and weather permits.
Yes rather than calling them days they should be called lessons. Start the puppy with lesson 1 (day 1). Teach the concepts and continue working on that first lesson until your pup can perform it...
There were 9. We have 6 F and 2 M, sadly a 7th female was stillborn, but the 8 that lived are doing very well, gaining weight and figure they will be doing marks and long blinds any day...
Looks like a pretty nice size litter.
Good to see Quin is not the only dog that does this.............ha
Here is one with a double dose of Cosmo that worked pretty well.
Very Cool !
Outstanding !
Open results?
Any news?
We get them now too. Always want to help someone who has lost their dog.
lesa c
After this experience yes, we think so. One call to them and they sent a bulletin to all the shelters and vets in a 25 mile radius with a picture. Pretty handy tool to have in the box.
lesa c
Absolutely ! Home Again is great. So thankful Boom is back in loving arms.
Adding Picture20379
Missing dog alert! Last seen near Belle Oaks Golf Course in Port Arthur Tx. Super sweet yellow lab female. Redish in color. Answers to "Red". Wearing an orange collar. Feel free to call Brian Johnson...
We have had great luck with Comfortis. We also cover yard with double dose of Over and Out fire ant killer and that has helped, too.
lesa c
And over the years I have realized that using color as a marketing tool really doesn't turn out that well either. The first female I bred to Holland was yellow, and since I knew I would not get any...
I don't think so, but I would think you would want to breed for the best, not the hair coat. Hook and Patton are not EIC clear either and they were mentioned.
The reason we are BOTH a bit biased is we have seen first hand how nice those Holland Pups are.
I would have to say that is a great choice. And besides being very cute they are very smart !

He also mentioned that they are working to get additional shuttles for the morning rush. Others mentioned that this property is in need of remodeling and it looked like they were working on this. I stayed in what looked like a new-ish room but still has space for improvement. April 8, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rickster87 Should not be a Sheraton Property The staff was very indiferent and cold; The property needs remodeling, it has deteriorated and has been neglected in all aspects. Will not stay again at this Hotel. 0 points Sheraton. March 21, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by MrsJen Worst experience Very upset with my stay here. Hotel staff was rude. They were not informative and when I asked questions the front desk staff acted as though I was bothering them. Stayed 5 nights and my room was only cleaned twice. Was woken up several times by the sound of doors being slammed shut. Also I was charged for parking but had to park on the side street a couple of nights because the parking lot was full with vehicles that did not display a parking pass. If I had not paid in advance and wasn't told that my stay was non-refundable, I would've cancel after the first night. It's sad because my sister wants to have her wedding here but I will have to advise her not to because I refuse to let her pay these people that kind of money and have our friends and family experience what I went through. March 21, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by William0613 Badly needs updating This was a terrible experience. Old room. Old shower. Terrible temperature control. Loud radiator. Would not return. February 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pnv6 Needs updating There was no parking which was the reason we payed to stay at this hotel. The staff at the front desk was rude. The bathroom badly needed updating. We stayed here years ago and it was a great experience this was a huge letdown and we will not be doing it again. January 5, 2016

Dear Administrator,
In your building teachers and support personnel are trying to manage classrooms with an increasing number of children who have neurological disorders. Many of these conditions are poorly defined by medical science and treatments may be ineffective or non-existent. Myalgic Encephalopathy (M.E.) or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is one of these disorders and is the subject of this letter.
Onset of ME/CFS in children is usually at puberty, but this can vary greatly. This neurological disorder might look like depression, school phobia and anxiety disorder. However, upon close examination, school
personnel will find that the child has repeated and continual viral infections, sleep disorder, onset of cognitive problems not previously demonstrated, complaints of dizziness, lightheadedness and nausea among other nervous system symptoms caused by autonomic instability, muscle weakness and profound lack of energy. Feeling sick every day becomes a way of life for these kids.
Elementary school age children tend to act disoriented and display hypo and hyperactivity throughout the day. These kids are often classified ADD. Other medical problems are ignored because a clear picture does not emerge that looks like illness unless the parents insist and/or an MD is informed about ME/ CFS in children.
Middle school children with ME/CFS do poorly in school because the pace, the amount of stimulus, and the expectations increase at this age. These kids do not have the luxury of energy for the normal angst and chaos that go with being a pre-teen. Teens with this illness are absent a lot, and appear careless with no learned organizational skills. They tend to display depression along with exaggerated irritability due to symptoms of the illness over which they have no control.
At the high school level, ME/CFS students quickly fall behind in credits and end up being a statistic in your drop out population. Most often these kids do not have the energy to be behavior problems, but because of absences, and a lack of medical support, reports of truancy end up on your desk.
Most often, unless onset is early Elementary school, a key to suspecting ME/CFS in children of all ages is an unexplained shift in school performance. It is not unusual for a student identified academically Gifted and Talented to have the flu or mononucleosis, return to school, and be unable to resume prior levels of cognitive function. Once tested, these kids have a peak and valley LD profile. As you can imagine this is
very disturbing to the student and to parents.
What can you do? Please circulate this letter and booklet. The incidence of ME/CFS in children is unknown in the United States because of the lack of an epidemiological study, but in the United Kingdom, where ME has been tracked for many years in schools, professionals say that it accounts for a full 50 percent of medical student absence.
Even with appropriate accommodations and medical intervention, these students will have difficulty. ME/CFS can be a very disabling illness. However, with a team approach and your help, children can make age appropriate emotional and social gains along with academic progress.

I'm having issues with Auto ThickBox Plus in that it seems to be conflicting with Slider PRO (http://codecanyon.net/item/slider-pro-wordpress-premium-slider-plugin/253501).
The UI for Slider PRO does not work properly with Auto Thickbox Plus is activated. I need Auto Thickbox more than I do the slider (even though I paid for the slider plugin).
I'm hoping someone here has experienced this and knows how to work around it. Thanks!

Genmab has reached another milestone in its DuoBody technology platform collaboration with Janssen Biotech (Johnson & Johnson), triggering a US$1mn payment. The milestone is for achieving technical proof-of-concept for the second DuoBody product candidate. The DuoBody platform is an innovative platform for the discovery and development of bispecific antibodies (Abs) that may improve Ab therapy of cancer, autoimmune, infectious and central nervous system disease.
Under the agreement, Janssen has the right to use the DuoBody technology to create panels of bispecific Abs (up to ten DuoBody programmes) to multiple disease target combinations with Genmab research funded by Janssen. Genmab received an up-front payment of US$3.5mn (approximately DKK 21mn on the date of the agreement) from Janssen in July 2012, and will potentially be entitled to milestone and licence payments of up to approximately US$175mn (approximately DKK 1,062mn on the date of the agreement), as well as royalties for each commercialised DuoBody product. This latest development will not impact Genmab's 2013 financial guidance.

|Original author(s)
|Artem Pavlenko
|The Mapnik Contributors
|Stable release
|3.0.9[1] / November 26, 2015
|Development status
|Written in
|Operating system
Mapnik is an open source mapping toolkit for desktop- and server-based map rendering, written in C++. One of its many users is the OpenStreetMap project (OSM), which uses it in combination with an Apache Web Server module (mod_tile) to render tiles that make up the OSM 'Slippy Map' Layer.[2] An XML file can also be used to define a collection of mapping objects that determine the appearance of a map, or objects can be constructed programmatically in C++, Python, and Node.js. Artem Pavlenko, the original developer of Mapnik, set out with the explicit goal of creating beautiful maps[3] by employing the sub-pixel anti-aliasing of the Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) library. Mapnik now also has a Cairo rendering backend. For handling common software tasks such as memory management, file system access, regular expressions, and XML parsing, Mapnik utilizes the Boost C++ libraries.
Data Format[edit]
A number of data formats are supported in Mapnik using a plugin framework. Current plugins exist that utilize OGR and GDAL to read a range of vector and raster datasets. Mapnik also has custom Shapefile, PostGIS and GeoTIFF readers. More data access plug-ins will be available in the future. There is also an osm2pgsql utility,[4] that converts OpenStreetMap data into a format that can be loaded into PostgreSQL. Mapnik can then be used to render the OSM data into maps with the appearance the user wants.
Mapnik is a cross platform toolkit that runs on Windows, Mac, Unix-like systems like Linux and Solaris (since release 0.4).
Mapnik is used as the rendering backend of OpenStreetMap's default layer,[5] but is also used by CloudMade,[6] MapQuest,[7] and MapBox.[8]
Mapnik is free software and is released under LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public Licence).

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Montgomery attorney Gibson Vance has
been elected president of the American Association for Justice, which represents 30,000 trial lawyers throughout the country.
Vance won the post at the group's recent convention in
Vancouver, Canada. Vance is a former president of the Alabama Association for Justice and is the first Alabamian to serve as president of the national organization.
Vance says it's an honor to lead the association at a time when the importance of the civil justice system has never been more obvious.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A third defendant charged with the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major is pleading guilty in an Orlando courtroom.
Caleb Jackson's attorney says his client plans to plead guilty to manslaughter and felony hazing Tuesday in Orange County court.
Jackson had been held in Leon County Jail on a violation of probation since his arrest.
FAMU drum major Robert Champion died in Orlando in November 2011 after he collapsed following what prosecutors say was a savage beating during a hazing ritual.
A dozen former Florida A&M band members have been charged with manslaughter and felony hazing.

made this a few times. It's very yummy. I always add sesame oil and sometimes a dash of soy or ginger depending on what I feel like. Sometimes I also add raw grated carrot into the bowls upon serving. I have also used it as a base for just using chicken legs or thigh fillets. thanks for posting
Soup turned out very tasty! This makes a lot of stock with four liters of water so I saved some stock for later use and used two cans of cream corn and one can of whole corn. I also added some fresh grated ginger, some soy sauce, a splash of mirin and a touch of toasted sesame oil. Thanks for the recipe!
"I'm in heaven", is the response I received from my honey when I cooked this. We were looking for something close to the "real thing" and this is sooo... close. Awesome!!!! Thanks!

This past weekend I worked with Naomi to get an advance copy of the Gravity Forms Stripe Add-On that works with the latest Gravity Forms and Stripe. I needed the update to meet a pressing deadline for my client, and Naomi responded within hours. I was able to install the plugin and get everything working for my client in time. My client is very happy with Gravity Forms and the usability of the Stripe Add-On.
To top it off, Naomi even contacted me today to make sure everything was working smoothly as she knew I had the important deadline to meet. I am impressed!
I definitely recommend this plugin and appreciate Naomi's personalized support.
Naomi provided me with AMAZING support. If you need help with this plugin, I highly recommend sending Naomi a donation for her efforts! You will not regret it.

Hello my friends. I hope you are having a great Sunday. I have been kind of busy today, but after cleaning and organizing stuff, I decided to take a break and make a card! Woo-hoo!! Today I am playing the SPCC challenge, this week colors have been a little hard for me, I have tried all week to make a card with these colors, sat down, move papers around and at the end I gave up, but today I decided no more giving up, so I just played with my paper again and I think I got a good card.
My card base is So Saffron, the blue part is Night of Navy. I matted a piece of Pumpkin Pie and some Patterned Paper I have in my scrap pile. I stamped the praying hands in White CS using Memento Rich Cocoa. I matted this piece with some Pumpkin Pie as well. I added some Blue Ribbon and a button (just the same color as Brilliant Blue!
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa.
Images are from smARTworks "Prayer Set"
Hope you like it.
Have a great day/night.
