OAKLAND -- The Warriors -- and swingman Andre Iguodala -- make their return to Denver on Monday night.
It will mark the first meeting between the teams since Golden State upset Denver in the playoffs last spring, and it represents an intriguing homecoming for Iguodala. Not only did Iguodala play for Denver last season, but he also has been accused of being a "mole" by former Nuggets coach George Karl.
Karl told a Denver freelance writer in November that he thought Iguodala fed information to the Warriors during the playoff series. Warriors coach Mark Jackson had claimed to have "inside information" that the Nuggets planned to play rough, especially against star guard Stephen Curry.
Iguodala was not available for comment Sunday as the Warriors called off practice before heading to Denver.
Speights has scored in double figures in three of the six games O'Neal has missed, including a 10-point, three-rebound effort in the win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
"He's been playing exceptionally well off the bench the last six games after struggling for most of the early part of the season," Jackson said. "We needed him especially when Jermaine went down, and he has not disappointed."
Speights said he was looking to improve even before O'Neal's injury, but the loss of O'Neal has pressed the issue, and Speights is responding.
"Before Jermaine went out, I felt like I still needed to get better," Speights said. "At the beginning of the year, I wasn't really playing at my level of basketball. But now I'm getting the opportunities to do the things I can do."

Warriors (15-13) at Denver (14-12), 6 p.m. CSNBA

Heart disease a woman's disease, too
|Russ Starrett, RN, takes vital signs of Sarah Batts while she works out at Cardiac Rehabilitation at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 25, 2012. (Phil Skinner/Atlanta Journal Constitution/MCT)
She was, in her own estimation, a health nut, and she had reason to be. Both her father and an older sister, who at age 50 had stents placed in her heart, had suffered heart attacks.
And yet, Batts, 41, said she always thought of heart disease "as my father's disease. I didn't think of it as a young woman's disease." In fact, mere mention of a "heart attack" conjures up images of pudgy, middle-aged men clutching their chest. Yet cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of women over age 25.
And while chest pain is considered the hallmark symptom of myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, women don't always experience that type of pain and so are more likely to die of a heart attack than men, said Dr. Chuck Ballard, an interventional cardiologist with Piedmont Heart Institute.
For instance, in 2008 alone, the last year for which statistics are available, Ballard said that more than 10 times the number of females - 420,000 compared with 40,000 - died from cardiovascular disease than from breast cancer. That same year, 392,210 men died from cardiovascular disease.
"Though no one wants to downplay how serious breast cancer is, in real incidences heart disease is by far more common," Ballard said. "It kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. One in two women die of heart disease, whereas one in nine die of breast cancer."
Just days after the July Fourth holiday, Batts found herself in a fetal position on the floor of her Atlanta living room with excruciating jaw pain, pain she had been ignoring for weeks because she associated the symptom with running.
Even when Batts, director of development for Piedmont Healthcare Foundation, finally went to the hospital emergency room, it was only because a friend insisted, she said recently.
She was in Piedmont Atlanta Hospital's cardiac observation area when she had a heart attack.
"That's what really saved her," said Ballard, who treated Batts. "Her artery was open within an hour of her heart attack." Know the risk factors When Batts arrived at the emergency room, her blood pressure and EKG were normal. Her cholesterol was in a good range and so was her weight.
"I wanted to go home, but the doctors insisted I stay," she recalled recently. "They were monitoring me when they realized that I was having a heart attack." Doctors were able to see her coronary (heart) arteries with a dye they injected into her bloodstream. Her right coronary artery was 99 percent blocked.
According to Ballard, "You could have all your heart arteries 80 percent blocked and have a normal EKG until a heart attack occurs."
Batts clearly had. In fact, he said, one in three female adults have some form of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, stroke and coronary artery disease.
The reason? Cigarette smoking and an epidemic of obesity, which increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes, a major factor in heart disease - all of which appear to be more significant in the southeastern United States.
Batts didn't fit in either category, but Ballard said, "If we look at the numbers, 59.3 percent of white women over the age of 20 are overweight and obese; 70 percent of black women are in the same category."
While doctors are seeing a rising trend among younger women such as Batts, Ballard said that genetics is clearly the strongest single risk factor for both men and women. Complications during pregnancy such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and collagen vascular disease (rheumatoid arthritis, for example) are also important risk factors in a woman's personal history.
Given the vagaries and challenges of diagnosis, he said, it is crucial for women to pay attention to their own bodies and be aware of heart attack symptoms, including chest pain, nausea, shortness of breath and fatigue.
"Those should be loud alarm bells," Ballard said.

Aliases for PARK7 Gene
Aliases for PARK7 Gene
External Ids for PARK7 Gene
- Entrez Gene: 11315
- Ensembl: ENSG00000116288
- UniProtKB: Q99497
Previous GeneCards Identifiers for PARK7 Gene
Summaries for PARK7 Gene
The product of this gene belongs to the peptidase C56 family of proteins. It acts as a positive regulator of androgen receptor-dependent transcription. It may also function as a redox-sensitive chaperone, as a sensor for oxidative stress, and it apparently protects neurons against oxidative stress and cell death. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease 7. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for PARK7 Gene
PARK7 (Parkinsonism Associated Deglycase) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PARK7 include parkinson disease 7, autosomal recessive early-onset and parkinson disease, juvenile, type 2. Among its related pathways are Respiratory electron transport, ATP synthesis by chemiosmotic coupling, and heat production by uncoupling proteins. and Androgen receptor signaling pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and receptor binding.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for PARK7 Gene
Protein deglycase that repairs methylglyoxal- and glyoxal-glycated amino acids and proteins, and releases repaired proteins and lactate or glycolate, respectively. Deglycates cysteines, arginines and lysines residues in proteins, and thus reactivates these proteins by reversing glycation by glyoxals. Acts on early glycation intermediates (hemithioacetals and aminocarbinols), preventing the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) (PubMed:25416785). Plays an important role in cell protection against oxidative stress and cell death acting as oxidative stress sensor and redox-sensitive chaperone and protease; functions probably related to its primary function (PubMed:17015834, PubMed:20304780, PubMed:18711745, PubMed:12796482, PubMed:19229105, PubMed:25416785). It is involved in neuroprotective mechanisms like the stabilization of NFE2L2 and PINK1 proteins, male fertility as a positive regulator of androgen signaling pathway as well as cell growth and transformation through, for instance, the modulation of NF-kappa-B signaling pathway (PubMed:12612053, PubMed:15502874, PubMed:14749723, PubMed:17015834, PubMed:21097510, PubMed:18711745). Its involvement in protein repair could also explain other unrelated functions. Eliminates hydrogen peroxide and protects cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death (PubMed:16390825). Required for correct mitochondrial morphology and function as well as for autophagy of dysfunctional mitochondria (PubMed:19229105, PubMed:16632486). Plays a role in regulating expression or stability of the mitochondrial uncoupling proteins SLC25A14 and SLC25A27 in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta and attenuates the oxidative stress induced by calcium entry into the neurons via L-type channels during pacemaking (PubMed:18711745). Regulates astrocyte inflammatory responses, may modulate lipid rafts-dependent endocytosis in astrocytes and neuronal cells (PubMed:23847046). Binds to a number of mRNAs containing multiple copies of GG or CC motifs and partially inhibits their translation but dissociates following oxidative stress (PubMed:18626009). Metal-binding protein able to bind copper as well as toxic mercury ions, enhances the cell protection mechanism against induced metal toxicity (PubMed:23792957).

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The Snowmass Village Town Council on Oct. 8 passed a resolution adopting the 2013 fiscal budget.
The council met on Sept. 25 to discuss the budget prepared by the town's Finance Department. The officials requested to make certain changes to that budget, primarily to assume that sales tax revenue would increase by 4 percent rather than
3 percent.
That change allowed them to increase expenditures out of the general fund, mainly by adding funds to increase service on Village Bus Route No. 1, a fleet mechanic position, and a part-time Town Clerk administrative position. The portion of the town's $25,000 contribution to the ice rink that will be paid in 2013 was moved to the Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund.
Councilman Jason Haber alone voted against adopting the 2013 budget, saying he felt uncomfortable ignoring the Financial Advisory Board's recommendation. The board had recommended the council adopt the budget as proposed but had not made any comments to the changes made.
The officials also approved on first reading an ordinance amending the 2012 budget. Operating expenditures in the general fund were increased by $1,300 to cover office supplies for the Community Development Department, an expense finance director Marianne Rakowski said had been eliminated and then added back in at the department's request.
At its budget retreat, council also discussed adding one-time expenditures in 2012, including consulting fees for the town entryway and capital replacement plan and an increase in staff bonuses this year. The portion of the ice rink contribution that will be paid this year was also moved to the RETT fund.
Haber also voted against approving the first reading of the amended 2012 budget.
Based on the home rule charter, the Town Council adopts the budget by resolution but makes amendments to it through two readings of an ordinance. The council is slated to have that second reading at its next regular meeting.

Fairfield Housing Authority probed
FAIRFIELD — Fairfield officials say FBI agents are investigating an apparent theft of funds from the town's Housing Authority. It's not clear how much money allegedly was stolen or who allegedly stole it. The Connecticut Post reports that town leaders confirmed the federal probe during a finance board meeting Tuesday night.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Freshman Nerlens Noel became the fourth Kentucky freshman to earn a Southeastern Conference weekly award when he was tabbed the league's top performing freshman it was announced on Monday morning.
With Noel's honor today, all four of UK's freshmen have been tabbed the league's freshman of the week recipient at least once this season.
Noel averaged 11 points, nine rebounds, 6.5 blocks and two steals in a pair of wins for the Wildcats this week. Against Tennessee, the Everett, Mass., native posted 12 points, nine boards six blocks and four steals. He followed that performance with a 10-point, nine rebound and seven-block performance at Auburn on Saturday.
The 6-10 freshman has registered at least six rebounds in every game this season and has reached double-figure scoring in all four Southeastern Conference games. Over his last three games, Noel has swatted 20 opponent attempts including matching a career-high of seven rejections against the Tigers.
Noel has recorded 69 blocks on the year which ranks as the fifth-most in a single-season for a freshman in school history. He's one shy of cracking the single-season top-10 chart in UK's record books. Furthermore, he's the only player in the country to rank among the top-30 nationally in rebounds, blocks and steals.
The SEC honor is the first of Noel's career. He joins teammates Willie Cauley-Stein, Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress as other Freshman of the Week honorees. Sophomore Kyle Wiltjer has also earned SEC Player of the Week accolades this season.
Kentucky returns to the floor when it concludes its two-game road swing through the state of Alabama with a matchup against the Crimson Tide on Tuesday. Tipoff is slated for 9 p.m. ET with the game set to air on ESPN.

Ok, I'm the new guy in the crowd so pardon me for asking a stupid question but when watching TV shows, I do not download the contend but rather visit ovguide.com or Hulu and simply stream the content. Recently, PS3 has allowed me to do it nativity due to firmware upgrades - with some admitted hinkiness.
I was wondering if there was a way to stream something like Hulu at 720i to my 42' sharp Aquos?
Or perhaps use a app such as Joost to do the same thing?
- Internet TV / Web Radio support with MPlayer/VLC
are listed as supported by this apps - have not used either app yet but intend to as soon as i get home.
Furthermore, I would love for someone to tell me how to get the web radio to work? I assume MPlayer/VLC would be the answer?
and setting 'em up with a upnp/DNLA servers should be on their respective sites.
Any pointers are much appreciated.

BERKELEY -- Mike Montgomery has coached college basketball for 31 years, so watching Cal's student section swarm the floor at Haas Pavilion after a 58-54 victory over No. 10 Oregon on Saturday drew little reaction.
But it was a novel experience for Cal's players.
"It was like nothing I've ever done before," sophomore David Kravish said. "That was crazy."
"I've been here three years, and I've never had anything like that," junior Richard Solomon added. "It felt good."
What felt best for Montgomery -- now 23-0 all-time against the Ducks in games played in the Bay Area -- was the manner in which the Bears pulled off their first win over a top-10 team in five years.
"Obviously, we weren't very smooth offensively," said Montgomery, whose team shot 35.6 percent from the field. "The fact that we were able to hang in defensively is a huge step for us because that's something we have to do if we're going to have a chance."
Playing in front of a season-high crowd of 9,457 -- including Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott and NCAA president Mark Emmert -- the Bears (13-8, 5-4) rallied from eight points down in the second half to complete the first half of the conference schedule no worse than tied for fifth place.
Justin Cobbs hit a go-ahead jump shot with 1:35 left as the Bears fought back from a 54-48 hole with just under 4 minutes left.
Oregon's E.J. Singler missed a 3-point try with about 10 seconds left, and Kravish tied up the Ducks' Tony Woods on the rebound, the ball going to the Bears with 5.2 seconds left on the alternating possession rule.
Cobbs made two free throws with 3.9 seconds left to ice the win, and Cal's students stormed the floor afterward to celebrate.
"I thought the crowd both games was really good," Montgomery said, alluding also to Cal's 71-68 win over Oregon State on Thursday night. "As a college environment, that's kind of what you're after. It just shows the emotion. They got excited."
Not quite as exciting for the Ducks (18-4, 7-2), who arrived in the Bay Area unbeaten in the Pac-12 with a two-game lead and lost twice. For the Ducks, turnovers were once again the culprit.
Without injured freshman point guard Dominic Artis, Oregon coughed the ball up 22 times. That's 65 turnovers in three games without the one-time Salesian High-Richmond star.
Montgomery said the emphasis was minimizing the Ducks' fast break and offensive rebounding -- and the Bears delivered on both counts. Oregon had just six points in transition, and Cal outscored the Ducks 13-3 on second-chance points.
No one had a bigger game for the Bears than Solomon, their 6-foot-10 forward who had 13 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. In two games this week, he had 25 points and 19 rebounds.
His parents traveled from Los Angeles for the game, providing him extra incentive.
"I was kind of excited. I know she had a big smile on her face," he said of his mother, Sheryl.
"Richard's playing with a lot more confidence," Montgomery said. "He was engaged mentally. He adjusted to the physical play."
Freshman Tyrone Wallace contributed 12 points, and Cobbs had eight points and seven assists.
The Bears beat a team ranked in the top 100 of the Ratings Percentage Index computer rankings for the first time this season, despite the fact that Pac-12 scoring leader Allen Crabbe had a quiet 13 points, just three of them out of Cal's half-court offense.

With further regard to
politics it should be
pointed out that Dean
Horlacher, Dean Cramer,
and Mr. H.E. Thompson
all were appointed during
the administration of President
Futrall and with his
approval. Strange as it
seems, Mr. Cypert was
appointed in 1933, long
before Carl E. Bailey
even aspired to be Governor.
It is curious to note that
Fred I. Brown and John

members of the Board in 1933

Get 20 relics and buy the 50.cal sniper you get from it. It does INSANE damage and one shots everything even bears and tigers.... also the enemies fly back if you shot them with the rifle :P

Only played for an hour and spending more time running around picking herbs than actually shooting people, not what I was expecting but I hate seeing crafting stuff on a map and not going for it... Liking it so far though the FPS is a fair bit lower than what I'm used to.. will experiment more with settings and give it some proper time tomorrow.

I think the 50.cal is only from relics, just buy a map for 1500 of an area and it will show all the relics and letters.
I got a new knife from getting I think 5 letters.
The snipers cost 4800$, it fires explosive 50.cal round, that means if enemies are standing together.... they die together, it also blows up cars in 1 hit.

does any thing bad happen if you kill too many civilians? when im taking towns i always put a landmine along the road going to the town because of a previous bad experience when the pirates sounded the alarm and about 20 more pirates turned up. but sometimes i take the town without the alarm going off, and before i can go and remove the mine some friendly guys drive over it

i just done a map on multiplayer, if you're buying it for the multiplayer, its not worth it at all. ive yet to test custom maps, never finds anyone in that playlist. im hoping it will be like far cry insticts, me and my friends use to play quite a lot of player created racing maps and stuff on there.
Another nooby question: How do I unlock more weapon slots? Annoying to only have 1 :/
Only issue ive had with the game is saving played a few hrs saved game quit the game too desktop, came back later on to find no saved games at all i had start all over again.
I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is back on the scene! I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is my name, and fuckin' up motherfuckers is my game!

Thankfully even those of us who survived the 90s have only witnessed a few games where we've quietly confided in friends that by the 60 minute mark we're not entirely sure we can be bothered watching the rest of it, and leaking further tries results in gazing up from the paper and tutting in mild irritation. August 4th 2007 was one of those days.
With the 2007 world cup just round the corner, what would have been really nice was some sort of morale boosting solid performance; show some parity where it counts and maybe put together some moments where we could all look at each other and go "hmmm, the boys have clearly practiced that one".
Instead, Gareth Jenkins took the Welsh 3rd XV to Twickenham to face pretty much England's first choice line-up. The first choice Welsh side wasn't exactly firing with confidence, and their replacements were not exactly kicking down the door demanding to be instated. So mustering the thirds, introducing them to each other the day before and sending them out into an amphitheatre sporting loincloths and penknives against professional gladiators replete with industrial scythes and AK47s, could only be kept in the archives in a box marked 'Really Bad Idea'.
It was perhaps best summed up by everyone who watched it with the pertinent question "What was the point in that then?" The only conceivable answer to this question that stood up to any scrutiny being "A pay-day and confidence-boosting training session for the RFU".
4 tries for Nick Easter is a heinous crime. Subbing him for Dallaglio who then scores a try is like finding your house has been burgled and the gits have shat on the lounge carpet for good measure. And then poor Tom James gets called off the bench for his first cap – and his only chance to stake a claim for a world cup spot – with 50-5 on the scoreboard and 78 minutes on the clock. Thanks for that.
This sorry episode should be removed from human memory by whatever means necessary. Alternatively, a win of any sort for Wales on Saturday will go a long way to allowing the ghosts of the little bits of us that died that day to cross over to a better place and be at rest.

1st set they were clearly dusting off the cobwebs, and it felt to me like they were just going through the motions for the first 5 songs. "Army of One" was a surprise, but its placement was odd because that song is such a down kind of tune. They hadn't hit any kind of momentum yet and then they play that song which put the skids on any chance of the 1st set taking off. Fortunately, Stash was a fairly standard but good one, with evil sounding elements going on in the short but good jam. Nellie Kane was good but forgettable.
Momentum really picked up with Kill Devil Falls. The song itself was pretty much note for note as it was recorded on "Joy", and then the jam was very nice. Mellow jam at first, then a nice build up picking up energy toward the end. The 1st set needed a jolt and this song was it. After that, an excellent version of "Free" with an extended intro which I always like, followed by a set-closing Wolfman's Brother.
This version of Wolfman's was outstanding, and probably one of the best I've heard them play. The jam went into lots of new territory, and the guys were clearly having fun at this point. Many new ideas were introduced during the jam, and I'll have to give it a listen again but I recall at least 4 different "sections" to the jam with well developed interplay between band members.
2nd set carried on the momentum of Wolfman's, with each of the 6 pre-encore songs having extended jams. Everyone loves a 2nd set opening Tweezer, and this one was superb. The jam moved "outside the box" pretty quickly, eventually taking a beautiful, blissful turn before becoming more of a spacey, mellow jam. Seemed like they got stuck in a few spots where ideas fizzled out, but being the pros they are, they simply moved on to the next idea and the next until they reached an end of jam peak that brought up the energy. I appreciate this Tweezer because it went into quiet territory for much of the jam. This is definitely a top Tweezer of the 3.0 era.
Maze was a real throwdown, with a wild, frenetic, energetic jam that got my pulse going. Trey lit up the place toward the end of the jam with some insane fingering on his guitar.
Twist, and then Theme from the Bottom, were both well-above-average with enjoyable jams.
Fluffhead was solid too -- and it's normally a song I get bored with -- but it was well executed.
Set-closing David Bowie was a blast. I may have been imagining it and I'm going to have to give the webcast a 2nd viewing (I hope I can re-watch it if its downloadable) because I think I saw the lights above the stage spell out B-I-E-B-E-R at one point during the jam. That aside, it was a song filled with inspired jamming; another venture into spacey/mellow territory, then a cacophony-like crescendo to finish it off.
Encore: Bouncing around the Room - always solidly played, and tonight's was no exception. Someday I'd love to see them jam this one out.
Finished off the show with Good Times Bad Times, which appeared numerous times during their summer tour and was always a highlight and tonight was also a good one.
Highlights: Wolfman's Brother, Tweezer

SANTA CLARA -- General manager Trent Baalke didn't drop any bombshells in a 45-minute, impromptu news conference with reporters, but he did cover a slew of 49ers topics. Here's a quick breakdown of them:
"We know if we can win this division, we have a great chance to take this thing as far as we want or can take it," Baalke continued. "If they end up being in our way in the playoffs, then you've got to play them. But we've got to win Week 1, and then we'll worry about Week 2, then we'll worry about Week 3. We're not looking ahead to the end of the season here and enshrining us a team that's going to be in the Super Bowl. We've got to earn that right."

A visitor to the society genealogy research room this week, Liz Tarbutton, sent us a follow-up email about the family.
"Thank you so much for your assistance. My husband, Ron, and I are researching his GG Grandfather, William B. Tarbutton.
"This is what we know:
William B. was born around 1823 in NC, married Elizabeth Anne Scarborough (b. appx 1829, TN). They lived in Madison County, TN documented as late as 1867 and had five children born there:
Mary Tarbutton, 1852
Joseph A. Tarbutton, 1858
Robert Aris Tarbutton, 1861
James Tarbutton, 1864
Idella Tarbutton, 1865
"We can't find this family in the 1870 census. In 1880, the children are in Wood County, Precinct 6 and are living with different families. Ancestry has them indexed with the last name "Farbutton". Mary is presumably married at this point, but we have no record of that.
"William Brown (b. 1808, NC )
Liddy Brown (b. 1808, NC )
Alfed Franks (b. 1873, TX ), grandson
Joseph A. "Farbutton", farm laborer
James "Farbutton", farm laborer
Idella "Farbutton", works on farm
"Next door to:
Allex Brown (b. 1846, NC)
Mary Brown (b. 1852, GA)
Walter Brown (b. 1878)
Robert "Farbutton", farm laborer
"Also in Precinct 6 are:
Bass Green (b. 1845)
Amanda Green (b. 1852)
Francis Green (b. 1868)
Mary Green (b. 1871)
William Green (b. 1878)
William "Farbutton" (b. 1869, in TEXAS), works on farm
"On April 20, 1880 a case was filed in Wood County involving "Adella" and William Tarbutton, minors. The court clerk says that it was a guardianship case, but was apparently continued and never heard.
"So our questions are: what happened to William B. and Elizabeth? Based on William being born in Texas, we assume that they made it to Texas prior to 1870.
"Is there anything available that would give us William B.'s parents names?
"If anyone is digging in Ancestry, there is a lot of inaccurate information about William. There is a second William Tarbutton, who also happens to be married to an Elizabeth, who is from Tennessee, born in Kentucky and emigrating to Missouri prior to the War (if memory serves right, in the 1840's). The other William died in 1867 in Missouri. The two Williams are different people, but many have their timelines/relationships intermingled.
"If you have any tips or suggestions, we would love to hear them! Thanks so much."
If you can help Liz and Ron, you can respond here. We also have their telephone number, and members can contact the editor at firstname.lastname@example.com if you wish to talk to them directly.

Spare 17 rd Mag KJW Mk.1 Gas
$ 29.99
Spare 17 rd Mag KJW Mk.1 Gas - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- A Must Have If You Have Enough CashIf you have the KWJ Mk.1 Airsoft Pistol, it doesn't hurt to buy a spare magazine for it. The magazine is both tough and durable, but you should never drop the magazine (As with any other mag), just in case, although I believe it'd still work fine if it was dropped in a grassy field from like 4 or 5 feet, but lol I'm not gonna try it. Simply, don't drop any magazine you buy from anywhere cuz some are pieces of #%@&, but this mag is not.
I will say the same thing for any spare magazine, always buy at least one extra mag with ANY gun you buy! It's a very smart idea to do. Since this gun only can hold 17 rounds, it's a no brainer not to buy at least one extra mag in case of emergencies on the field.
The only thing I seriously dont like about the magazine is the price. 30 bucks for a magazine that holds 17 rounds? I think that's a bit too much, although I see why it's so much. The KWJ Mk.1 Airsoft Pistol IS A NICE SIDE ARM that's not very expensive. It's range and FPS is NICE for a pistol, and, oh yeah, it hurts! And since loads of people love this gun, especially as a secondary side arm, peeps are buying this gun out the wah-hoo. Because of this, their gonna also wanna buy a spare mag because of the small clip size (But the clip size is actually a fairly nice size for such a cheap-costing, but great gun. I believe for a gun of the same price the clip sizes are usually about 15). So since the gun is in high demand atm, the price of the spare mags would obviously be at a high price.
Other than that, everything about the spare magazine is a must have.
Rating this review would be nice, thanks for reading.
- spareSpare mags are a handy little extra and since the mk.1 can only holds 17 rounds a mag you might want a spare if you're a little trigger happy. I have a spare for my pistol but I'm not so sure if it was worth the 30 bucks. I love being able to just switch out a magazine when I'm pinned down and it's a lot easier than reloading the magazine one bb at a time. The magazine is unusually long and skinny so it doesn't fit well in spare mag holders. I can fit it in the spare holder on my hip holster but just barley. So to sum it all up if you like shooting and you have 30 dollars you're willing to part with I strongly suggest a spare for this gun.(and I esspecially recomend it for any one using the mk.1 or the carbine as their primary weapon) Hope this helped you make a decision.
Jack O'neil
- Spare MagIf you really love shooting your Mk.1 then you are going to need this. As a secondary the capacity is fine. Though if you are using the Carbine (read my review for that) and it's your primary you will probably need a spare or too. These have never misfed for my and I have had no problems with them whatsoever.
- GreatKJW makes excellent mags and this is no exception. It is full metal and will never break. 17 is fairly good for a gas gun magazine so don't complain. Also it holds a ton of gas because it only has a tiny strip in the front of the gun for the bb's. you will get about 3 magazine loads out of the gas. This magazine is very heavy and adds a good feel to your gun. The only thing is make sure you don't stick an extra bb in the mag. Me and a friend were talking while loading before a game and somehow I fit an extra 18th bb in the gun. It jammed the mag and it would not fire and took a long time to get out and a lot of patience. Also it will still fling bbs in your face if you let go of the spring too quick without it fully loaded but KJW made it so you have about a 50-50 chance of that instead of a definate . Anyway this is a great mag for a great gun and its metal thats right METAL!!! But it is a little pricey
Holds alot of gas
17 rds
looks awesome
Anyway an amazing mag for an amazing gun.
- If you own an MK-1...If you own the Mk-1 pistol or carbine, buy this magazine, it will save you. I was playing against some friends and they thought i was out of ammo and i had to reload my magazine so they tried to rush me, well all i had to do was slide in my extra magazine, and i took them both out as they came running at me.
- funnyi have the carbine and it is crazy. but when your having so much fun giving your friends bleeding welts from long range, before you know it your out of ammo. I bought a second clip for mine and it's great. But, when you keep firing more than two mags worth the gun gets sluggish and starts freezing up, so having two mags is perfect Also, it's kind of funny that once i was loading bb's in the clip and i accidently let it go and the clip spring fired a bb out that went farther than a crappy 10$ cyma pistol i have
- spare magIt's an OEM mag for a very nice pistol. It fits in the Mk1 with no problems, feeds well, and doesnt like to jam up. If you have a Mk1, and use it for more than eliminating the Alluminati, a spare or two would be a good investemnt. I, personally, suggest 2.
- Annoying to reloadThese magizines are annoying to reaload, if you are realoading it and you accidentally let go of the spring the BBs fly out everywhere. It also is very hard to fill with gas, you have to press it in really hard and even then some gas leaks
- spare magthese mags are nice, heavy, hold a lot of gas and look really badass, but does anyone else have problems with them loading 2 or 3 bbs for the first shot? Every time I reload the first shot is crappy and then it gets back to its normal amazing preformance. Im not sure if I got a fluke or something I dont know, but all in all the mag is pretty nice.
- i hope only i had this problempersonally i would never trust this mag again. the one that came with the gun broke within twenty shots. so i bought a replacement, it broke within twenty shots. i had the same problem with both mags. the gas valve broke on both and now i can't put gas in it without it leaking. and i paid thirty bucks for it?! only for it to break that quick?! like my title says, i hope only i had this problem

STOCKTON - There's a reason they call it the "Polar Bear Cleanup."
About 300 people picked up trash Sunday morning along the Calaveras River, despite temperatures that started as low as 39 degrees.
The goal was to fill an entire Dumpster with 40 cubic yards of junk.
University of the Pacific, Stagg High School and the Circle K (Kiwanis Club) were among those groups involved.
The annual wintertime cleanup is hosted by the Friends of the Lower Calaveras River.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks brought out their big guns for the shootout Saturday night and came away with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Joe Pavelski, Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton all scored in the one-on-one competition as San Jose snapped a three-game losing streak. At the other end of the ice, goalie Antti Niemi gave up a goal to Chicago captain Jonathan Toews, then stopped forward Patrick Sharp.
"Usually he likes putting me fourth, but with so many guys out, I got moved up a slot, which is nice on the ego," said Thornton, who is three for three in the shootout this season after not even getting an attempt the previous three.
With Thornton's toe-drag move to avoid a poke check by Chicago goalie Corey Crawford impressing coach Todd McLellan -- "What a move, really nice to watch," he said -- the Sharks captain is likely to stay in that top three even when the injured players return.
The Sharks had managed only one goal during their three-game losing streak, and this game -- entertaining as it was -- featured the same problem.
Neither team could score through the first two periods before Pavelski's short-handed goal at 6:10 of the third gave San Jose a 1-0 lead, only to see a power-play goal by Blackhawks forward Brandon Saad even things up 63 seconds later.
Still, it was a satisfying way to end the losing streak against the defending Stanley Cup champions. McLellan wanted his team to recommit to the defensive end of the game as it tried to rediscover its offensive touch, and that the Sharks did.
"When you don't score a lot you start to focus on it and you slip in other areas," the coach said. "We had to reset that a little bit. We'll be fighting it until we start scoring consistently but to win games 2-1, 1-0 they count just as much and sometimes they're more gratifying."
The game was scoreless for the first two periods, with San Jose's penalty kill deserving much of the credit as it stifled the Blackhawks on their first three chances.
Still, McLellan said, his players weren't getting frustrated.
"I thought we were focused and we stuck with the game plan," the coach said. "We didn't come in between periods and have to make a lot of adjustments. We liked what we had been doing for the most part."
In the third period, all the scoring came with Brad Stuart in the penalty box for hooking Chicago forward Patrick Kane.
Pavelski gave the Sharks a short-lived 1-0 lead with his team-leading 29th goal of the season after a neutral zone turnover by Sharp. Taking a pass from Scott Hannan, Pavelski outmuscled Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith and beat Crawford with a 26-foot wrist shot.
Then, Saad's shot went into the net off Niemi's glove at 7:13 and the only lead San Jose held in the past five games was over.
"It was tough," Thornton said, "but we're a veteran group and we know how to react."
The shootout win was San Jose's sixth in a row and eighth in the last nine. Overall, the Sharks are 9-5 in the game-deciding skills showdown.
"It's weird how it goes and how it can change," Niemi said, "like how the season started with shootouts. Losing a few, and now we haven't really done too much about it, and now we're winning."
McLellan was asked if he thought the game might be a playoff preview.
"Oh, god, I hope it's a preview because that means we're playing in the final four," McLellan said. "With the new divisional playoffs, we can't meet this team until the final four so if it's a preview it's a great thing for both teams."

Kansas's Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area is a 19,857-acre wetland complex northeast of Great Bend. Last year's drought limited waterfowling opportunities on the area, but this phenomenon allowed natural and planted vegetation to gain a foothold throughout the property. Late-summer rains pushed rain gauges to 10 inches the first week of August, creating superb waterfowl habitat conditions.
"I've been here for 26 years, and I think these are the best conditions we've had," says Karl Grover, area wildlife manager at Cheyenne Bottoms. "We've had great habitat before, but the heavy rains filled every pool. This habitat is just unbelievable."
While 800 hunters sounds like a high number, hunting pressure has been low in this vast wetland complex. John Ritchey, DU's senior regional director in Kansas, has hunted Cheyenne Bottoms for years and was surprised by the light turnout by hunters last week.
"Typically, this hunting area draws crowds from all the major metropolitan areas – Wichita and Kansas City – but the crowds weren't there for teal season," Ritchey says. "It may have been the heat. We hunted in 101-degree temperatures one day. We managed to shoot limits every day but one."
Ritchey says the property looks to be in perfect condition, which he attributes to the hard work and dedication of the staff at Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area.
"They have put so much hard work in out there and finally got the rain to support their efforts." Ritchey says. "There's millet planted, water levels look great, and it's just amazing to see the clouds of teal buzzing the property."
The 2013 Kansas teal season ends on September 22, but local hunters are now looking forward to the opening of the general duck season. If water levels hold up and weather cooperates, the table is set for migrating ducks.
"The pools are full of barnyard grass, sprangletop and smartweed. The teal are getting in there for the barnyard grass, but the smartweed hasn't matured yet," Grover says. "The smartweed will be mature later this fall."

NEWARK -- A hot summer of deep divisions between school board members and some Newark residents might grow hotter now that long-shot hopes of keeping Superintendent Dave Marken on the job have been officially dashed.
Ever since Marken announced in late May that he would leave his post in the fall, board meetings have been dominated by angry, jeering parents and district employees lashing out at a school board whose critics say willfully forced out a popular and effective superintendent.
The furor began when Marken apparently became unwilling to put up with board interference in his administration of the district. Nearly two months later, the controversy has not gone away.
"Despite your public claims, it is obvious that you are not acting in the best interests of the school district and the students whom you claim to care about," said Richard Nikssarian, co-president of the Newark Teachers Association. "You continue to play games with people, and the community will not continue to stand for it."
Marken has sat stone-faced through the stormy meetings, during which trustees were at first apologetic but since have begun to fight back.
His only overt reaction was -- at the request of parents -- to ask that trustees extend his departure date by three months. The board instead on Thursday accepted his resignation, effective Sept. 30.
The trustees also will pay a consultant about $21,500 to search for a new district leader.
The decision to accept Marken's resignation deeply disappointed parents and teachers who were hoping the popular superintendent might stay, and made it unlikely their tempers will cool.
Anger over Marken's departure has escalated in recent weeks, with at least two people publicly calling for the resignation of new board member Gary Stadler and for longtime trustees Nancy Thomas and Charlie Mensinger to not seek re-election in November.
"We need the board configuration to change," said Debbie Ashmore, a district employee and Newark resident who has called for Stadler to resign immediately. "We feel the personalities and personal agendas being pushed through are not good for the kids."
Stadler said he will not resign.
Thomas said she is weighing her re-election options, and Mensinger said his detractors are "a vocal minority (that) has not persuaded me one way or another."
Since Marken's resignation was announced, dozens of speakers at board meetings have blamed them for alienating a superintendent credited with turning around a struggling school district, improving test scores and fostering unity and morale.
A handful of district employees interviewed by this newspaper have accused Stadler of showing up at school sites unannounced, intimidating principals and teachers and publicly criticizing the superintendent and other district staffers.
"With Gary, it's been constant; he'll come into your office and yell about certain employees, bad-mouthing them," said Liz Warren, executive assistant to the superintendent. "We think Gary Stadler is the most toxic of them all."
Asked about the accusations, Stadler replied: "Never." He said the critics who have packed recent school board meetings do not reflect Newark.
"The two ladies (who demanded his resignation) don't know me; they don't know what I've done for the district," Stadler said Friday. "I've been getting a ton of emails and messages saying, 'Keep up the good work.' "
Stadler said that Marken had not reached out to the board to improve their relationship. "At any time, Dave could have said, 'Hey, guys, let's talk about this,' " Stadler said. "But he hasn't."
Marken, who could not be reached for comment, has made no public statement since the board rejected his extension request.
Warren, at a May 20 meeting, said the trustees had made employees feel "scared, frustrated and apprehensive to do their work."
She said that Thomas and Mensinger had crossed professional lines by orchestrating public criticism of her job performance.
"That's not a board member's job," Warren said. "Their job is to set policy, make sure the district is fiscally sound -- and if they're dissatisfied with something, they should set policy to let staff know how it should be handled."
Mensinger paints a different picture.
"Legally, board members can do whatever they want; we report to the community, but we can question anything and we can speak to anybody we wish," he said. "As a board, we have agreed to communicate through the superintendent most of the time, but the superintendent has given us permission to talk to anybody whenever we want."
Mensinger, a Newark Unified board member since 2002, said he and his colleagues have tried to get Marken to stay, but he has refused. "Frankly, you cannot make somebody work for you," he said, adding that he is "sickened and saddened at the division."
The district's brewing tensions boiled over at a June 3 meeting, when more than 200 people chanted Marken's name in support after several speakers chastised board members.
The Newark Management Association, a labor group representing district managers, that night announced it had no confidence in the school board.
Speaking on behalf of the district's large Latino community, Adriana Lopez, a Newark parent, urged trustees to do all they could to keep Marken on the job.
The clearly shaken trustees agreed with most of their critics, saying they had lost their way and vowed to change.
Critics have since grown louder, accusing the board of immediately reverting to the same dysfunctional habits. Angry comments by dozens of grim-faced people have increased, with audience members sometimes hurling insults at trustees or words of support for Marken, infusing the meetings with palpable tension.
At a recent meeting where school board members described to executive search consultants the qualities they seek in a new superintendent, Mensinger asked, tongue-in-cheek, "Is Superman available?"
Several people pointed at Marken -- saying, "Superman is sitting up there."
Mensinger and Stadler say the district clearly needs to heal its divisions, and the best way to do that is to move forward with a new superintendent.
"I got on the board to help the kids, but it's a mess right now and it tears me up that this is happening," Stadler said. "This town has to start healing."

Augusta CVS Pharmacy robbed three times in a year
Police: Robber got away with prescription medications
An Augusta pharmacy has been robbed for third time within the past year.
Police say the CVS on Stone Street was robbed at about 4 p.m. Tuesday by a man who fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of prescription medications.
The robber was described as a white man wearing faded jeans, dark shoes, a black and white knit hat with ear flaps, white gloves and scarf, a blue and white jacket, and a blue neck warmer over his lower face. He appeared to be in his late 20s to early 30s, between 5 foot 5 and 5 foot 7, and between 150 and 170 pounds.
No weapon was shown.
The store was also robbed in February and May last year. Arrests were made in both robberies.

Flirting Tips That Make Men Worship You
"Please don't assume we're going to the nicest restaurant in the city because I won't take you there. I'll take you to a dive bar with amazing burgers to see how you react. If you're flowing with it and cool, we've got a winner. If you seem offended by it, that's as far as we go."
—Steve M.
"Girls should try to avoid pre-judging before a first date. Whether it's someone you're meeting online or it's someone your friends know, aim to drop the things you know about them and start fresh. Don't ask your friends to tell you everything they can because you can end up with a tainted view of what to expect. Half the fun of going out is getting to know someone new, so allow yourself to let that happen organically." —Oliver B.

USA, 2011, 88 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, RomanceLanguage: English
MUST END Thursday, June 28th at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax
Digital presentation - Walking an isolated line between solitude and redemption, Josh Lucas stars in his first leading dramatic role in HIDE AWAY.
Directed by Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals), HIDE AWAY follows the story of a successful businessman (Josh Lucas) attempting to resurrect his life. Entering an idyllic harbor as a broken and haunted man, he buys and boards the dilapidated sailboat, Hesperus. Disturbed at night by unsettling dreams of his family, the boat becomes a beacon of hope as he begins the challenge of bringing back the shine to the tarnished star.
Watching him from the harbor café are three equally mysterious residents: a waitress (Ayelet Zurer), always one puff away from her last cigarette and always a piercingly watchful eye on the Hesperus; the veteran mariner (James Cromwell), a salty, soulful man unable to reconcile his own past and traverses, who shares his openhearted wisdom that may be a salve for the younger man; and a newly single father (Jon Tenney), who's boisterous enthusiasm for a newfound freedom and escape from his responsibilities, is in contrast with the quiet and deliberate solitude the harbor's newest resident wants to protect.
As he descends deeper into the refuge of nature, isolation takes hold and he is forced to confront his troubled past.

Who's the Boss? High Court to Define 'Supervisor'
Is a supervisor the person who hires and fires employees, or it anyone who oversees other people's work?
The Supreme Court will decide this question when it rules on Vance v. Ball State University et al., in which catering worker Maetta Vance sued her employer, Ball State, after alleging that she had endured racial harassment at work. The Court heard initial oral arguments Monday.
Why should employers be paying attention? At stake is the criteria for when an employee can bring charges against a company for harassment under civil rights law.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act forbids discrimination based on sex, race, color, national origin and religion. According to current law, a company can be held liable if a supervisor – but not an ordinary employee – engages in such discrimination or harassment. In Vance, the plaintiff says she was harassed by several colleagues, including a supervisor, but the university has countered that none of the employees were supervisors.
Corporations have tried to head off such lawsuits by, for instance, adopting explicit policies against workplace prejudice and requiring managers to complete anti-bias training.
"Employers are watching this closely [because] there are so few areas in employment law where companies have strict liability, and it's a significant burden," said David Goldstein, an attorney with Littler Mendelson, a law firm specializing in labor and employment cases. If the courts deem that a broader group of people have supervisory roles, companies could find themselves liable for more allegations of discrimination or harassment.
Back when Americans punched the clock in factories or labored in similarly hierarchical workplaces, the distinction between supervisors and lower-level workers was clear. But it's no longer so obvious, said Goldstein. "In modern collaborative workplaces, you often have lots of people with some amount of authority over what happens during the workday."
If the court maintains the more common, narrow definition of a supervisor – that only a person with authority to hire, fire, demote, promote, transfer or discipline workers qualifies as a boss – then most companies will probably continue with their current anti-bias measures.
But if the court chooses to broaden the definition to include anyone with authority to direct and oversee a person's daily work, as some lower courts have decided, then companies might have to rethink not only their training programs but also the job responsibilities of more workers, said Goldstein. One example: A job description could be rewritten to expunge any reference to managing people or large projects.
That "may make work a little less pleasant for the average person. Employees like flexibility and opportunities to be challenged, and this may force employers to be a little more rigid," Goldstein added.
Vance will be decided by next June when the high court's current term ends.

Soccer was approved a midseason facelift at the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association's Board of Control meeting on Monday and Tuesday in Sparks.
The Northern Division I-A teams (formerly 3A) were broken into their respective "pods" this season, which has caused numerous scheduling and travel issues. Due to the magnified issues, the Board of Control approved a Division III/IV (formerly 2A/1A) regional and state tournament for boys and girls by a 7-2 vote for this season, according to NIAA Assistant Director Donnie Nelson.
For years, DI-A and DIII/IV schools shared one division in soccer as DIII/IV programs battled their larger counterparts for postseason appearances. Prior to this season, the Northern league was divided between the Sierra and Humboldt leagues.
The state tournaments will be comprised of three schools from the North and one from the South, Nelson said. In addition, playoff qualification will be based on a point system, which includes points accumulated for wins against league opponents and teams competing in a higher division.
Currently, the NIAA is searching for a suitable location to host the DIII/IV regional tournament. Four of the nine northern schools in the DIII/IV will qualify for the playoffs.
One school voting against the proposal was Incline. The Highlanders are currently in second place in the Mount Rose league, and Incline coach Tom Canino said the school would rather compete against better competition.
"I voted against the move because we want to compete where we are," said Canino, who serves as Incline's co-athletic director and boys and girls soccer coach. "From experience we know that a title is more meaningful when it includes a Truckee, Sparks, South Tahoe, etc."
Nelson said he thinks The Meadows from the South was the other school that voted against having a separate regional and state tournament for the small schools, but he was not certain. North Tahoe, which was in transition between athletic directors this past summer, did not attend the August meeting and thus did not cast a vote.
North Tahoe's coaches had mixed feelings about the change, as the Lakers historically are one of the more successful soccer programs in the state.
North Tahoe's boys have won six state championships in the former 3A (current Division I-A), which ranks second only to Truckee, while the Laker girls have won five state championships, also second to Truckee. Neither North Tahoe squad has not made a state finals appearance for several years, however, in part due to a consistently shrinking enrollment.
"I personally wanted it to stay the way it was," said longtime North Tahoe boys coach Beto Alcaraz. "I know a lot of schools have dropped off in enrollment, including North Tahoe and Truckee, but I like the competition. I'd like to stay in the higher division, but realistically, maybe it's best for the athletes. But I just think you get better by playing the better teams. So it's hard for me to say one way or another."
Jon Rockwood, head coach of the Laker girls, said he welcomes the opportunity to play schools with similar enrollment, although he understands the drawbacks as well.
"As a coach, it's pretty frustrating to play schools that are three times your size. The larger schools just have such an upper hand because their talent pool is deeper," he said. "So maybe it will be good for the girls to have a more level playing field. So I'm not opposed to it. I'm willing to give it a shot.
"But I definitely see the shortcomings of it. It devalues our league a little bit. But while nobody ever wants to drop down, you do want to keep the playing field even."
Schools moving down include North Tahoe, Incline, Whittell, Yerington, Rite of Passage, Pershing County (girls only), Battle Mountain, White Pine and West Wendover. In the South, the only DIII/IV schools with soccer programs are DIV Adelson (boys and girls) and DIII The Meadows (boys only).
But while the number of DIII and DIV schools seems plenty sufficient to hold their own regional and state tournament, Alcaraz and Canino are concerned about the level of competition outside of the Mount Rose League. Traditionally, the Lake Tahoe schools, particularly the small schools, are significantly better than their eastern and southern Nevada counterparts.
For example, in a Division III/IV crossover tournament against the Ruby Mountain League earlier this season, the North Tahoe boys and girls outscored their three opponents by a collective margin of 57-1. Incline and Whittell also routed the same opponents.
"We feel like it would not be that difficult to come up with a relegation system and playoff format that could include everyone, the bigger schools as well as the small ones if they are up to the competition level," Canino said. "Teams that can compete should be encouraged to. We should be making the pool bigger, not smaller."
Nelson said the NIAA will reconsider the D-IA and DIII/DV soccer playoff formats after the season.

Other reasons to pick up the show include the Harpua opener which, after the second chorus immediately cuts to Bundle Of Joy, and then right into Forbin. YEM has some fire, and Reba takes a leisurely pace as opposed to the breakneck meters found a decade later.
My favorite moment is at the end of the show when Trey, while introducing the horns, decides to rib The Jonny B Fishman Jazz Ensemble and their move from one bar to a Radisson hotel bar with 25 TVs on the wall. I just love to hear them give each other s#!t in the old days.
This is a great 80s show to pick up.

- Got a question or comment about Croatia? Ask a Travel Expert!
The Basics
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between April and October).
Electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. European-style, round, two-pin plugs are standard.
The official language is Croatian.
Travel Health
No vaccinations are required, but it is recommended that all travellers get vaccinations for hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Travellers who plan to spend a significant amount of time travelling off the beaten track should consider getting a typhoid vaccination. There is a risk of tick-borne encephalitis for those travelling in forested areas during the summer months. The medical facilities and care in Croatia is fairly good, with free emergency medical care available to UK citizens with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), though some medicines are in short supply in public facilities. Non-UK nationals are advised to invest in health insurance and those who need certain medications should take the supply needed for the duration of their stay with them, with a doctor's letter on hand to get through customs.
In tourist or upmarket restaurants a tip of 10 percent will be appreciated, but otherwise it is usual to round up the bill if the service has been good, unless a service charge has already been added. Tour guides expect to be tipped. Most other services receive a small tip by rounding up the bill.
Safety Information
Most visits to Croatia are trouble-free, and there is no particular threat of terrorism. Busy tourist areas are prone to petty theft, so it is worth keeping a careful eye on possessions. Outside the normal tourist routes travellers should be aware that unexploded mines might remain, particularly in Eastern Slavonia and the former Krajina. Tourists are urged to be cautious in former conflict areas, including Eastern Slavonia, Brodsko-Posavska County, Karlovac County, areas around Zadar, and in more remote areas of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, and stay on known safe roads and areas. If in any doubt check with authorities before setting out into remote areas.
Local Customs
Passports, or some form of identification, should be carried at all times.
Business in Croatia is conducted in a formal manner: punctuality is key, dress should be smart and conservative (suits and ties are the norm) and polite greetings are made with a handshake. Titles and surnames are usually used unless otherwise indicated and business cards are exchanged at the beginning of a meeting. English and German are widely spoken, but any attempt at speaking some Croatian will be appreciated. Women frequently hold high positions in business and are well respected. Building a good working relationship is important in Croatia and it is useful to work with a reliable local partner. Although Croatia appears typically European in its dealings, business can take some time to conclude. Business hours are usually 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
The international access code for Croatia is +385. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). The city code for Zagreb is (0)1 and for Dubrovnik (0)20. Public phones take phone cards, which can be bought in post offices and hotels. GSM operators have active roaming agreements with most international networks, and cover most of the country. Internet cafes are available in the larger towns and cities.
Duty Free
Travellers to Croatia can enter the country with the following items without incurring customs duty: 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250g of tobacco; 1 litre wine and 1 litre spirits; 250ml of eau de cologne and one bottle of perfume. Regulations apply to firearms and radio instruments. No item of archaeological, historical, ethnographic, artistic, cultural or scientific value may leave the country without a license issued by the appropriate authorities.

Counter Culter / Nielsen Family
By dlacher on Aug 02, 2007
Maybe the wrong family or just the wrong time of the year. This last week our family had the pleasure of becoming a Nielsen Family. For the last seven days we were asked to track and record of TV viewing habits. Like I started with, we might be the wrong family or just at the wrong time of the year. During the summer, mainly the non TV season, we watch very little to no TV. I was informed that every family is important to Nielsen they need data from those that "live in front of the tv" and those that watch it occasionally. Well we fall someplace in there I guess. If they would have snagged us during the season there might have been a little bit more data... only a couple hours extra but never the less not a whole lot. We had a fun time filling out the data for them and we hope that it helps.
While we are on the subject of TV watching, I was having a conversation just yesterday that was very counter cultural. I was having a conversation about TV watching and mainly about the watching (or not) habits of our little girl (2). A few of the folks I was speaking with were shocked that she does not watch TV. Now true, at this point in her life she does not have a lot of control over this but we as parents do and opt to not sit her down in front of the TV for hours at a time. She does not what the TV is and has watched some, maybe about 30 minutes a week if that. That is right, not hours a day and not even 30 minutes a day. The times that she does watch TV it is something like Sesame Street or Vegi Tales, and during that time we are sitting there with her and interacting with what is going on or with each other. There are better things to be doing when we are gathered as a family... I totally know how to play with Mrs. Potato Head and feed and change baby dolls now, I have the best little teacher there is on that subject... and there is a specific way to do things :) It was not long ago that families did no how to interact without a TV being on an blaring in the background (or foreground) and kids did not how to play be themselves, together or with their parents. If that makes us counter culture, then count us in.
For what it's worth.

I'm finding most of the guides and information a little bit outdated now, as I'm really struggling to get the recent versions of PMS working to the same standards as the old version.
For example I just spent the best part of an hour trying to watch an MKV file on my XB360. It wouldn't play no matter what transcoder option I selected, I checked the settings and I tried absolutely everything before eventually just giving up.
A quick browse around the net searching for the code error that I was getting brought up a VERY old thread that involved downgrading from 1.25 to 1.20. Just for the sake of trying it I downloaded 1.20 and it's working great.
I still get the same issues with the modern versions with the stuttering on the PS3 (Avi's pausing, video continuing for a few seconds, stuttering, etc) so I'm hoping that the downgrade will help with those issues too.
In the meantime though, is there anything I should be looking at to set up the latest version of PMS so that these previous features work as they used to?
