Every day there are hundreds of auctions for the American classic 44 Magnum. Whether it's the Smith & Wesson Model 29 or a Henry Big Boy rifle, you can buy with confidence from GunBroker.com. Browse all of the 44 magnum auctions below and be sure to check back often because new ones are added every day.
Originally designed for revolvers and later adapted for carbines and rifles, the .44 Magnum is a large-bored cartridge resulting from years of tuned handloading of the .44 Special. It was developed by 20th century writer and outdoorsman Elmer Keith to be a lengthened .44 Special loaded to higher pressures for a greater velocity.
Keith approached manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Remington to produce the ammunition on a commercial level, and in 1955, Smith & Wesson produced the Model 29. Soon after, in 1956, Ruger began producing the single-action Blackhawk Revolver. As the popularity of the .44 Magnum increased, Ruger introduced the first long gun; a semi-automatic carbine adapted for the .44 Magnum round.
Although modern improvements include alloy casings, and other manufacturing improvements to make the cartridge larger and more powerful, the .454 Casull and .480 Ruger are in revolvers the same size as a .44 Magnum, the .44 Magnum is still considered a top choice today. In 2006, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the .44 Magnum, Ruger introduced a special 50th anniversary Blackhawk revolver in the "Flattop" style.
While popular with shooters since its introduction, the .44 Magnum's popularity took off with the general public in 1971 when it was used in the Smith & Wesson Model 29 in Clint Eastwood's feature film, "Dirty Harry". In the movie, Eastwood describes the M29 as the "most powerful handgun in the world," and the guns began selling at up to three times suggested retail price.
The .44 Magnum is a dual-purpose handgun/rifle cartridge with sufficient power for medium-sized game like elk. However, the deep penetrating rounds of the .44 Magnum combined with precise shot placement have been known to take down even the largest of game including Cape Buffalo. It has also been known to take down Polar Bears and Elephants.

Culminating paths
Mireille Bousquet-Mélou, Yann Ponty
Let a and b be two positive integers. A culminating path is a path of ℤ2 that starts from (0,0), consists of steps (1,a) and (1,-b), stays above the x-axis and ends at the highest ordinate it ever reaches. These paths were first encountered in bioinformatics, in the analysis of similarity search algorithms. They are also related to certain models of Lorentzian gravity in theoretical physics. We first show that the language on a two letter alphabet that naturally encodes culminating paths is not context-free. Then, we focus on the enumeration of culminating paths. A step by step approach, combined with the kernel method, provides a closed form expression for the generating function of culminating paths ending at a (generic) height k. In the case a = b, we derive from this expression the asymptotic behaviour of the number of culminating paths of length n. When a > b, we obtain the asymptotic behaviour by a simpler argument. When a < b, we only determine the exponential growth of the number of culminating paths. Finally, we study the uniform random generation of culminating paths via various methods. The rejection approach, coupled with a symmetry argument, gives an algorithm that is linear when a ≥ b, with no precomputation stage nor non-linear storage required. The choice of the best algorithm is not as clear when a < b. An elementary recursive approach yields a linear algorithm after a precomputation stage involving O(n3) arithmetic operations, but we also present some alternatives that may be more efficient in practice.

Quote #1
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, (1)
Any mention mom and sleep and Shmoop gets those warm, fuzzy childhood feelings. But the fall that follows seems to signal the end of that innocence—like the biblical Fall that took us from a blissful state of innocence to one of shame and original sin. Bummer.

There are so many course options its wonderful!
Overall Experience:
This is basically ivy league material & affordable
Health & Safety:
Oncampus police are great & security is high priority
Campus Housing:
Freshman halls are a bit far from the library and quad, but it is very social! It is hard to get a room because demand is so high and many people want the Heritage buildings.
Greek Life:
I don't think there is greek life!
BYU Roar of Cougars is great!
Overall Experience:
I love BYU! It is amazing!
In general, I've had a selection of excellent professors who would give you the shirt off their backs if they thought it would help you. I really felt connected to them, even in the larger classes. The workload can honestly be a little insane sometimes. Registration was very easy. The curriculums are pretty good, although I really dislike some of our GEs, as all classes at BYU tend to have a moderate to rigorous load, and so it felt rather unfair to be forced to study something you had no interest in that could potentially destroy your GPA. But I imagine all colleges that teach such a wide variety of subjects are like this.
Considering this school is designed to contain mostly LDS students, it's not surprising that we lack religious diversity. Ethnic diversity is there, but not as much as some places. Political beliefs are widely diverse, as are economic backgrounds. I have met four people with alternate sexual orientations over straight, so I think that's a pretty good amount, considering I don't know very many people anyway.
Drug Safety:
I have yet to see anyone doing drugs. No one here will pressure you into drugs at all.
Health & Safety:
There is no drinking and any sort of drugs are not allowed on campus and students sighn a personal honor code that explains that they will not drink or do drugs, steal, or any other misconduct. It the honor code is broken they have to talk to the school dean.
Overall Experience:
If you go and ask ad visors and career centers they will help out in anyway possable.
Campus Housing:
My school does not have dorms but rather has housing and apartments very close to campus. I had free parking, free laundry, and in my apartment complex we were always doing stuff together.
Overall Experience:
Brigham Young University of Idaho is a wonderful school! The teachers there are always willing to help and explain things if you do not understand. It is a school focused on helping students not only excel in academics but also gives students opportunities to learn to excel as leaders and learn how to serve in communities. The school does not have sports programs, but has intermural teams and that allows everyone to participate. Also, there is a no drinking and no drug policy for all students and professors giving you people that are focused on getting an education.
Party Scene:
we have people over for dinner and there's ward dances and stuff, but we don't have drinking parties or anything like that. BYU will sponsor some fun dances though
Party Scene:
They are fun, with great food and awesome decorations
It's challenging yet, very rewarding. I learn a lot and feel accomplished
I am accepting of anyone and I hope others are the same. I've seen people be very accepting and people who aren't so much, so I see it both ways

what is the best brand and what is the type for the liberty
Anything you can afford.It would be tough to find a bad one.
Go out on a limb..............that's where the fruit is.
like what type
5w 30
10w 30
i am getting mix answers i live in ca so it does not get below 0 degrees
Amsoil ASL series 5w30 if you want to extend your service intervals. Best paired w/ the Ea series oil filter. I run my 03 & 04 KJ's w/ 3.7L 10K miles+ or yearly on oil changes. Past used oil analysis has told me I could run considerably longer.
94 XJ w/ Stuff
04 KJ w/ Lotsa stuff
99 TJ Under Construction
(Ignore all of the off-topic stuff)
Don't use Mobil 1, don't use scamsoil, and don't use the wal-mart brand synthetic.
I use Q-state horsepower in my KJ, I will try Castrol Edge next.
Use 5W-30 year round.

Why would you send Anyone to That thread?
You said it yourself:
Amsoil is not a 25K mile oil in a Jeep if it is ever used in "extreme" conditions such as wheeling, towing, any 4wd situations, etc. IF however it is used only on the freeway in light load situations And you have used UOA to determine the service interval of the vehicle, it can go up to 25k miles. Many millions of miles of testing in diffferent vehicles have proven that it can do so. Would I use it for that long in any of my vehhicles? No. I do however enjoy yearly or 10-15K mile change intervals. (or when I feel like it) My UOA's have come back just fine as have my customers that have had them.
Will other brands of oil go as long and work as well? I'm sure they might but I would make sure w/ used oil analysis. (though not worth it if not Trying to extend your service interval right?)
Anyhow, oil discussions always end up like religious or political discussions and trying to win one is a big waste of time and effort.
Use whatever makes you happy and Go wheel instead of e-arguing.

I have put almost 10,000 miles on my oil since the last change. I use Castrol GTX regular old dinosaur oil, 10w30. Still kicking.
I probably should change my oil.
1996 ZJ Laredo 4.0L 42RE NV242
eh,it wouldn't hurt.
Go out on a limb..............that's where the fruit is.
Engine Oil Viscosity (3.7L/4.7L/5.7L Engines) SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395.
Be advised Mobil Synthetics do not meet the specification MS-6395.
I only post this for anyone with an extended warranty.
I had to go back and look, I was tracking this a few years ago, and supposedly it was in testing 2-3 years ago, but still not showing up on Mobil-1 data sheets. It is approved on regular Mobil non-synthetic oil. I would say its fine to use, but if you have a warranty with a Chrysler stealership, they could screw you over this. Stealerships use Pennzoil synthetics, so it's probably some political issue…..

Cholesterol Curbed, But Blood Pressure Runs Rampant
The day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the national average for total cholesterol dropped below the target of 200, an FDA advisory panel yesterday gave a thumbs-down to Merck's proposal to sell its pioneering cholesterol-lowering pill Mevacor to consumers without a prescription.
Just a coincidence, we're sure, but that didn't stop Antonio Gotto, dean of Weill Cornell Medical School and longtime champion of Mevacor, from lamenting the panel's decision. "They lost an opportunity for a sustained public health benefit," says Gotto. He still remembers the date to the day — Sept. 2, 1987 — when Merck introduced the Mevacor. He was part of the press conference that got things rolling.
The Mevacor launch marked the start of the statin era that has transformed treatment of heart disease and enriched shareholders of Pfizer, Merck, Bristol-Myers and AstraZeneca. Statins from those companies are the principal reason for the drop in the nation's cholesterol below 200.
The panel that just rejected prescription-free Mevacor wasn't persuaded that consumers could be relied on to the manage their cholesterol problems with medicine without advice from their doctors. Gotto, who testified before the panel as a consultant for Merck, had argued that over-the-counter Mevacor would be useful for some 14 million Americans at moderate risk of heart disease who currently aren't being treated.
Meantime, Christopher Cannon, a cardiologist at Harvard and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston welcomed the nation's progress on cholesterol. "The cholesterol message has gotten through," he told the Health Blog. "But we're still getting fatter. And blood pressure hasn't changed over time."
Indeed, he says, "despite decades of data," hypertension continues to run rampant among Americans. "It is basically a disaster of the medical field," he says. "The newest numbers speak to success with cholesterol, but we need to turn our attention to make sure people get their blood pressures to the goals we set."

Movie Review - Lionsgate's 'The Spirit'
by Lucas Siegel
Date: 18 December 2008 Time: 12:59 PM ET
I went into director Frank Miller's big screen adaptation of comic book legend Will Eisner's The Spirit with few pre-conceived notions. Having only read a small number of Eisner's original comics, I didn't know much about the character going in. But on the other hand, with the previews and trailers seeming to indicate this movie would be Sin City 1.5 in terms of art direction, I knew enough about the comic books to know that this style might conflict a bit with the source material.Despite this conflict, or perhaps because of it, somewhere inside The Spirit is a great film. Its potential can be seen in bits and pieces all over the screen, making it all the more disappointing when it just never quite follows through on that potential. First, comic book fans should know ahead of time that there are some major changes from comic-to-screen. Changes to characters are made to seemingly make them work better for a two-hour live-action movie, and possibly to make The Spirit more familiar to fans of other recent successful superhero films, leading to a few awkward moments.

I've been trying to sort a cell population (from an in vivo cell suspension) that expresses LacZ with a nuclear localization signal (nls) under the promoter of a marker gene.
Initially I tried FluoReporter kit (
FluoReporterKit.pdf 132.59KB
235 downloads) from Invitrogen, but I suspect that the fluorogenic B-galactosidase substrate from the kit is not making it to the nuclei with the hypotonic shock. This protocol would not work in fixed cells since the substrate will diffuse without giving any signal (I tried that).
Would anybody have any suggestion (other kit, procedure)?
Thank you!

Amidst the clamor and fanfare of this year's edition of the Boston Marathon (heightened by the unexpected roar of mid-summer temperatures), I was able to secure my normal bird's-eye view adjacent to the Newtown Fire Station on Commonwealth Ave, around the race's 30k mark.
It's here, with the toughest section of the race looming ahead past this short straightaway, that I feel the true essence of the runner is exposed: their unique interpretation of running efficiency. The 3/4 stage of any marathon is full of crises: elites trying to navigate for podium position, age-groupers hoping to set a PR and qualify for the Next Great Race, and many, questioning their sanity for even attempting this thing. Everyone is hurting in one way or another – so it seems most logical that runners will adapt a style most suited for survival. In the crunch, do our natural instincts take over, molding us into proper, economical form?
What is the best way to run?
It's the most passionately debated topic in running circles. Opinions are rampant, serving to complicate the issue even further. Scientists, medical professionals, therapists, coaches, shoe companies, and even the athletes themselves, have varying ideas about the subject. Innumerable blog posts, website forums and research articles have been dedicated to airing arguments and providing the latest scientific information. With such conflicting advice, it's hard to quibble with Kenyan Olympic gold medalist Kip Keino's decree: "Form is God-given."
We all have the right to chose our running style.
However, how much benefit or detriment is extracted from this choice becomes critical, especially considering the ramifications of performance and injury. We exist in a gravitational environment – which requires us to comply with the fundamental task of dealing with our bodyweight. How well we displace our bodies (i.e. bodyweight) horizontally is the ultimate goal of running. We therefore, have a standard of evaluation and assessment.
To illustrate our point, the gait mechanics of women's winner Sharon Cherop (2:31:50), men's 10th place finisher Matthew Kisorio (2:18:15) and an unknown elite female runner are utilized. For comparison, we have taken the video feed and cropped out a sequence of still photos of the various stride phases: Pre-Landing, Landing, Zero Position (body perpendicular to the ground), Falling, Toe-Off, Flight, EOS (end of stride) Landing.
Analyzing form
Careful examination of the photos clearly shows that economy of movement is created by the aggregate of momentum, friction and torque as the runner's body rotates beyond the fulcrum of ground support/foot contact (Cherop and Kisorio #4-6). As the Kenyan athletes allow their bodies to fall forward ("absorbing gravity" as Pose founder Dr. Nicholas Romanov termed it), they pick up the necessary acceleration that hurls them in flight. The timing of this fall/release is crucial for achieving great stride length (Kisorio #8-11; Cherop #7-11), while abating impact and physical stress.
The lone female elite runner displays a more generally understood notion of running mechanics, opting to interrupt falling by swinging her non-support leg forward (frames #7-9). Although the idea of "putting one foot in front of the other" is a commonly held belief, it's limiting in comparison. Her's is a running style fraught with needless energy expenditure and muscle effort.
As exceptional as Cherop and Kisorio are, there is still room for improvement. Their delayed recovery into the Zero Position (bodyweight over the ball of foot) is due to landing slightly ahead of the General Center of Mass (#2 & 3). It shows how even the smallest anticipation of ground contact can work against the runner, noting Cherop's knee concerns and 2011 winner Geoffrey Mutai's early exit due to leg cramping. Time, when it refers to the Stance Phase in running, should be avoided as much as possible.

Watch Students Watch The Answer To Their Math Problem
December 12th, 2012 by Dan Meyer
Sadie Estrella's class worked on Pixel Pattern and then watched the answer.
I'll try not to be ideological here about photos and videos in modeling tasks. If you have another way to achieve the same cathartic reaction we find 38 seconds into the video, drop me a note in the comments. I'll take it.

This is the crackle that turns finding answers into satisfying work and makes asking good questions harder to resist. Yes, make proficient critical thinking skills the name of the game, but it's the collateral benefit of becoming passionate questioners that will allow us to do remarkable things.

The catharsis is what makes math come alive for grown-ups too. The more of that we can share with students, the better.
on 13 Dec 2012 at 4:21 am4 Jen
I'd still love to have seen it through — that is, did they get it?! Or was it just exciting to watch and by the time they found out if it was red or green were they over it, in the afterglow?
on 13 Dec 2012 at 7:07 pm5 Sadie Estrella
My question to you is: Did they get what? Did they understand that all of the blocks were growing in a linear pattern? Were they able to calculate the slope given a set of points? Did they understand what the y-intercept=2 for the length meant? did they understand the relationship between the slope of the red blocks, green blocks, blue blocks and total blocks? There are so many standards connected to this activity that I am not sure what you mean by "it"?
The thing about learning that people forget is that it does not happen in 1 day, 2 days, 1 lesson or even 1 week. so when my class started on this activity they had been practicing calculating slopes, y-intercepts, equations, graphs, discussing relationships among all of the above and much more in depth topics that you can find present in this pixel pattern activity. I used this activity as a combination of practice, assessment and introduction into the use behind math equations (to predict outcomes in the future based on data). The part of the video I shared is the reaction to an activity that got students so engaged that they were discussing this video/assignment in ALL OTHER CONTENT AREA CLASSES! This video did NOT capture the immense amount of learning, strategy building, connection making and all the other added in topics. If you need to see that then book yourself a 1 week trip to Hana, Maui because there is NO WAY I can capture that on video. But what IT did do was show kids that math is real, we use it for something, that math is not just some memorized formulas and procedural steps we perform to get an answer that means nothing. We instead used, as ancient mathematicians used, math as a tool to help answer perplexing questions found in life. Whether it be "real-world" or pure math (as seen here).
So did they "get it"? I'm not sure but I do know that they will remember calculating the slopes, y-intercepts and discussing the relationships because of the video that lead to this reaction that will forever be embedded in their educational experience. Learning does not happen when a student is able to repeat back an equation, definition or rule they learned through some test but instead:

One of my kids said this after the lesson, "This is when I love math the most! When I can use it in real life!"
I kind of laughed at the idea that he thought of this was using math in "real life".
I win.
on 17 Dec 2012 at 2:55 pm8 Jen
I totally understand your point about how learning happens and about how it builds on previous experience etc. I also pointed out that this was a teensy clip. I wondered if there were many students who could explain which one "won," for instance, to those that didn't know.
My point was that the cathartic moment, as it was referred to, was similar to one that I might hear in the car if my kids were watching two rain drops race down the window. They'd be yelling and excited to see who won. That's what I saw in the video.
I honestly (and not sarcastically) think teachers should always be interested in is the consolidation, the taking the time to draw the conclusions, the learning from the moment. I'm not surprised at the reaction from an activity like that. But, on a blog about teaching, we should be concerned about how it actually fits into the big picture. Maybe its only role is having a happy moment in class that leads to better attention and learning afterward. You could even make an argument for that!
Do my kids really learn valuable (but not articulated) information about physics from watching raindrops chase down a window or is that the sum total of the experience?
I'm sorry if I somehow touched a nerve other than that basic question, which wasn't answered by watching the video.
Lust v. Love might be another analogy. ;-)
on 17 Dec 2012 at 5:42 pm9 Sadie Estrella
I too am sorry for coming off a little on edge with my response., Jen. However, I guess I am still not sure what you are saying. The ending of the video did start in the discussion about which color "won"? Because the answer that was mathematically calculated on paper was 48.5 secs we were able to discuss how this would look to our eyes. It would be at 49 secs. Why? Because .5 sec is too short for the naked eye to see. Right after this because one students wanted to be the "winner" for the color block he wanted to argue that it was 48 secs when it hit. We used our equation to prove that it wasn't 48 secs because that answer was less than 98units. We also watched the video many times pausing it at 48 secs to see that little sliver of white to show that the blocks had not hit the red bounding box. When I say we I am being very nice in including myself but to tell you the truth I had no part in this discussion. Students were arguing with each other as to why it was 49 secs or what not. I was a mediator in the conversation to make sure they spoke civil to each other (you know how high schoolers can be) but other than that the conversations/discussions were coming from the students themselves.
So to tell you the truth again I am not sure what you are asking.
Thanks for your response *:)
on 21 Dec 2012 at 5:17 am10 Jen
That would have been an awesome part to video!
I really love this lesson design and wanted to ask what software you used to animate the shape and was interested in exploring similar types of questions. Any suggestion for similar problems? I am not sure how to find other examples like this or how to design problems like this for my students.
I am also going to attempt to construct this sequence with GeoGebra.
Again thanks for the lesson design. Great stuff!
Hi Shaun, my standard toolkit includes Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe AfterEffects (which did most of the heavy lifting in Pixel Pattern). They aren't tools I recommend for every math teacher, but they do allow us to create some interesting mathematical experiences for students.
thanks, my main editing tool has been screenflow, but I love the pixel effects. I am going to try out AfterEffects and attempt to create some similar pile pattern problems. Can AfterEffects actually animate the sequence or did you copy and scale the image with each step?

The latter, which was a miserable, miserable pain. AfterEffects includes ActionScript, a pretty powerful scripting language, which probably could have automated the process, but that's a bit beyond me.
I had some fun finding a way to make this work on GeoGebra. It was a big learning experience for me, but I wanted students to be able to tinker with the problem and I wanted to open up the possibility of setting up animations for similar pixel patterns.
I made a quick video showing the Pixel Problem on GeoGebra: http://youtu.be/ON6qcvBdchg
You can also download or use this program here: http://www.geogebratube.org/material/show/id/26401
I will make videos explaining the programming behind it so that other teachers can expand on the idea.
I hope this helps and thanks again for the great problem.
Also, I tried to give appropriate credit to you in the video and program. Let me know if there are any issues.
That's great, Shaun. Really dazzling Geogebra work. So how does the lesson change now that students can just drag the slider to answer the original question? How do you envision the task unfolding now?
Good question, I don't have enough working computers or a projector (yet) to run the demo in the classroom, but I imagine that restricting the slider to a small number of steps (like 10 or 15) would help them think about the problem.
Until I am able to run it in the classroom, I will assign it as a homework with the slider cut to about 15 steps or so. Then I can assign a follow up home work assignment asking a question like, "how would you change the dimensions so that that the pattern will hit the left and right sides first? Each leg at the same time?" Then I might follow up with some other problems that are similar, but perhaps are enclosed in different shapes and perhaps grow in different ways. I would create matching GeoGebra simulations for some, but certainly not all. I eventually want them to visualize without help. That was my orignal goal: to create a variety of pixel patterns that grow in different ways.
What are your thoughts?
I don't think video is necessarily better than Geogebra or vice versa but their different constraints are interesting. With video, you don't need computers for everyone. With Geogebra, if you don't have computers for everyone, you lose what is IMO its best feature, which is that students can scrub the slider around to orient themselves to the context. They can go backwards and forwards in time. If you're able to fully lock down the system (in a way that's irreversible by the student) so that the student can't get the answer to the question in advance, I'd prefer the GGB approach. (All other things like 1:1 laptops being equal.)
I'm not sure it's possible to lock down a GGB file that tightly, though. Please send it along if it is.

Giddy up Sadie!
When I first saw this 3Act at Dan's Palm Springs conference, I immediately became excited because I know I'd be using it with my Algebra kiddos this year. Thanks for sharing you students responses. I love how you now your students will remember calculating the slopes and y-intercepts. In the end, I think the teacher has an opportunity to create those moments in class where students will have belief in the math they are doing. Keep it up!
on 07 Jan 2013 at 5:39 pm20 Shaun Errichiello
You are right that GeoGebra can't be entirely constricted (which is why I love it!) However it can be restricted for classroom use if it is embedded in a webpage. I made a quick video tutorial: http://youtu.be/F2D7d0e7N0M
You can download and play with the worksheet here: http://tube.geogebra.org/material/show/id/27042
Does anyone have a collection of these types of problems? I am making more but wanted to see other ideas as I tinker with this stuff.

College Softball: After week's rest, Nicholls returns to action today
Published: Saturday, February 17, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 16, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
THIBODAUX - Nicholls State will take part in the 2001 Georgia State Kickoff Classic today and Sunday in Atlanta.
Currently 2-2 on the season, Pat Holthaus' squad will take on four different squads in two days. The tournament field includes host Georgia State as well as Appalachian State, Austin Peay and Mercer. Georgia State coach Phyllis Guedry is an NSU alum who played for the Lady Colonels from 1994-96.
"This tournament is going to give us some good experience," Holthaus said. "In preparing for the conference season we need to play games that not only will test us but give us some confidence. If we play the way we did at Ole Miss and capitalize a little better on some of our chances, we should be alright."
Nicholls State is coming off a week's worth of rest after competing in the Ole Miss Lady Rebel Classic last weekend in Oxford, Miss. The team defeated Ohio Valley Conference member Tennessee-Martin twice and lost to the Lady Rebels two times. In Sunday's finale, NSU had the hosts on the ropes, loading the bases two times in the final three innings but were unable to push enough runs across the plate, eventually falling 7-4. In the tournament, sophomore hurler Duffi Matherne saw action in all four games, allowing five earned runs and striking out 10 in 21 and 1/3 innings of work. Freshmen Fallon Cancienne and Christina Hanson made their mound debuts, with Cancienne starting one game and coming in to relieve Matherne in another and Hanson pitching a scoreless inning in the loss to Ole Miss.
Offensively, junior Kyna Boyer hit .417 in the four games, reaching base safely seven times while knocking in two runs. Freshman Sarah Eads started all four games in her first action as a Lady Colonel, hitting .333 with an RBI and stolen base.
Following the tournament, NSU will return to south Louisiana before taking on LSU in doubleheader action slated to begin at 5:30 p.m.

10" tire does great with a 250lb rider! Kind of a pain it install, but worth it.
Ive had this tire for about 6 months now and i love it. Hooks up exceptionally in most conditions, spins a little in the slick stuff but what doesnt? I still have all my knobbies and its been through 6 harescrambles and multiple track rides. I would have replaced two dunlops before I will need to replace this one.
These are the best tires made. Ive had every kind of tire out there and these are my favorite. They last a very long time and hook up every bit as good as the more advertised Dunlop MX51 and MX52.
This tire has been my go to rear tire for a couple years now. I race motocross a couple times a month and it holds up very well for several races. I prefer the wear and performance over Dunlop and Bridgestone rear tires. I am still a die hard Bridgestone front tire user!
A little tough to install, but that may have been lack of experience. Good traction, although the Rubicon needs an enduro tire. Got a flat, wasn't the tire, just the terrain. Tire held up on the long slow ride from the middle of nowhere back to the truck.
This tire performs great and hooks-up really well. Ware aspects are average. Hey! It,s a motocross tire!
I simply think this tire is great.
I ran a 19" starcross on my 450x for desert racing.. not complaints at all... however I did switch to the 18"maxxis IT due to overall better handling with the smooth strong pull of a 450.
I run the 18" starcross on my KTM 300xc (2013) I tried the Maxxis but had issues with it sliding out from under me in fast sweepers.. so I noted there was an 18" starcross out so I figured I'd try it.
My 2-stroke is set up with lightest spring for power valve for early hit.. a sxs factory pipe and turbine core silencer. This tire is the best I've tried on this bike and its very predictable. It grabs, it pulls, it turns without any issues at all. I love this tire on the 2-stroke.
Side note... I race offroad and Baja... and do a lot of minor endurocross type stuff. This tire had no issues with slow approach to do a quick 4 foot flat face rock hop, stays straight in the sand washes with really good traction... must be the main large center knobby... no major slippage at all... So its also good in the rocks in flowing dry creek bottoms you find in the south west.
I imagine the MS3 would be even better on rocks and such.. may chunk though... the MH3 has yet to chunk on me... and I can always reverse it.
I ride in the northeast where the ground is hard and rocky and the tire is excellent for the trails and track and the tire wears very good on these conditions the Michelin mh3 tire is the best tire hands down
This tire, in my opinion, is by far the best motocross tire, We have run them all and for the most part it comes down to rider preference. But for the hard pack tracks in the south, you cant beat the MH3....
Great tire in my opinion noon. Its a little tuff to get on I think because the rubber is a little tougher than most other tires but u can't beat the performance and it lasts a pretty long time in comparison to other tires IV used
Great traction in almost any condition very versatile, if it plots rain, no sweat drop a few psi and hit it. Super hard pack, rail it. Loam or tacky, perfecto! Also, hands down the coolest looking tire ever made. Sick pattern in style! Only thing is its super hard to mount by hand, but paying a local shop is worth it in my opinion. So dont let the poor ease of installation thing scare you. This is a bang for the buck indefinitely!
The Starcross rear tire is definitely my choice for sand, mud, and clay. I love the grip this tire puts out. Definitely the tire to have for trail and track.
rode over to moms house the other day. it hooked up real good on everything. got a 86 kx500.
I have used and love the Starcross front tires for years but they didnt make an 18 " rear till now and I like it! Just tried my first one and it worked well everywhere, did not chunk and held up real well so far on some nasty terrain. This is a great tire and I have tried many. I will buy another one.
Love the way they hook up, great bite in the corners. Hope this tire stays around cause its the only one on our bikes.
Recommended by my trainer. best tire ive ever had. most tracks around me a hard to medium with lots of rocks. other tires lost chunks. these are so rugged. also even if they wear down u can flip them for more life!
Tire works well on all terrain here in central MS.. from loamy dirt to slick trails, it really does perform well.. looks awesome too.. AND when or if I wear it out I can just flip it around and get some more life out of it.. can't go wrong here.. the reason for the low rating on install is I hate changing tires so I pay my local shop to do it for me so its nothing against the tire
I have been an avid starcross fan since i was on my YZ80. I have since madw the jump to the 250F. These tires have some seriously aggressive knobs on them. I had no problems in everything from sand to hard-pack. The only problem, installation. These are a seriously hard compound, and the sharp knobs make doing this without a tire stand somewhat painful. Thats is the ONLY downfall of these tires. How can you pass up one of the cheapest tires from a brand name, and the best traction? Everyone i reccomend these to never goes back.

UPDATED -- found some! pattern for toddler fruit hats?
Hi everyone. I know I've seen patterns for cute toddler hats that look like fruits, especially strawberries. Now I can't find one I like. I found one on the HGTV web site, but they don't give much detail about the leaves and stem part. Does anyone know of a source, even if it isn't free? Other fruits, veggies or melons would work, too. I think I've seen cute watermelon hats.
Hey, I found exactly what I was looking for: http://www.crochet-knit.com/item_290.html . Thought I'd share, 'cause they're so cute.
Kelly, thanks for the links, too. Also, I :heart: Howie.
I love these, but I'm scared to try the dpn's. :shock:
Re: Update
Did I post a pic of him on this thread that Im not seeing right now? :thinking:
This one is free too:
Thanks. They're all so cute. I'm still scared of the dpn's. Guess I need to get over that. :thinking:
And, no Kelly, you didn't post a photo of Howie in this thread. I just can't pass up an opportunity to say what a cutie he is. :lol: Maybe I'll get over it when I have my own doggie to love.
I am scared of DPNs too....and I was equally scared of using the two-circulars method too....but you know what?? I took the plunge and learned how to do it, and it was sooooo much easier than I thought it would be. I was amazed. If it were not for KH I never would have gotten up the courage. :D
Seriously....watch Amy's video on the 2-circ method...it's not as scary as it seems!!

tri novice having IM thoughts
after a week off I was back on the TT today, used HRM and yep I was slacking last week
Did just 30mins to get back into it
Cold took more of a toll on my body than I thought so last 2 weeks have been very low
I TT session last week and so far this week 1 TT and 1 swim. Off out with son for a gentle bike later today
To make myself feel better I've just order my motivation device - 910XT with an extra 10% off - Happy Christmas me
£292 for the 910 + HRM - seemed rude not to really!have also contacted old PT (he won the full boar) re having a swimbling lesson during half term
45mins very gentle bike ride with son going through lots of puddles - note to self wear a sports bra next time
Now need to shower off half a tonne of mud!
Used to be £30p/h but that was a couple of years ago. He was a lot cheaper than some
He is sort of based at Enderby LC so I will pop over there - aiming for 29th Oct. Then hopefully have other sessions in the holidays so not often but better than nothing
endless pool just sounds bizzare!
how's the mara training going?? you over the man flu?
Gosh long time no update
Well since then I've had my swimming lesson (I'm not a crap swimmer aparently but think I've taught myself to swim slow!) and been told by the Dr to never ever go swimming again without ear putty (not plugs) as my ear had been infected and is dry and my hearing has been affected.
Training at least 3hrs a week now and 5am alarm call 4-5 days a week means I'm shattered and again having the "can I ?" thoughts!!
Still think it will be so cool to do this that I get up and out! my head torch is my new best friend right now

If you own an Android phone, chances are you have heard of the Swype – the popular text input software. If you haven't, it is basically a program that allows you to swipe your finger across a virtual keyboard in order to input the desired text. If I wanted to type the word "Gadgetell" I would have to make sure I swiped across every letter in the word Gadgetell. The software takes into consideration that you would hit other letters unintentionally. While this sounds like a great technology, 90% of Swype is used on Android phones, meaning other smartphones can't really appreciate it. Some of the big name manufacturers that employ Swype include Motorola, Samsung, and HTC. Just yesterday, it was announced that Swype would be pre-loaded onto the Droid X, but the main question on most people's minds is whether Swype will ever be used on the iPhone.
One of the Swype engineers has already developed a program for the iPhone "in his spare time." Just imagine how good of a program he could make if he actually focused on it. It seems the technology is in place and it is definitely possible to develop a program that would run on the iOS, but would Apple allow it? Chief Executive Mike McSherry states:
"We would like to be on iPhone. It remains to be seen."
Some iPhone users even carry an additional phone because typing on a touch screen phone is difficult after a while and they prefer Swype to the conventional method. It has already been proven that Swype is a faster and more accurate way to input text. It will be interesting to see whether Swype creates a fully functional app for the iPhone and whether Apple allows it.

Although essential fatty acids (EFA) and their longer chain, more unsaturated derivatives play a major role during pregnancy, hardly any information is available with respect to the course of the maternal EFA status during an uncomplicated pregnancy and its relationship to the neonatal EFA status. Therefore, a longitudinal study was started in which 110 pregnant women gave repeated blood samples from the 10th week of gestation until delivery. After birth a blood sample from the umbilical vein and a maternal venous blood sample were collected as well, and 6 months after delivery a final blood sample from the mother was taken. The absolute (mg/l) and relative (% total fatty acids) amounts of the fatty acids in plasma phospholipids were determined. The total amounts of fatty acids increased significantly during pregnancy. This pattern was similar for the individual fatty acids and fatty acid families. The relative amount of linoleic acid (18:2n−6) did not change during pregnancy, whereas the relative amount of arachidonic acid (20:4n−6) decreased. Despite maternal mobilization of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n−3, DHA), suggested by a temporary increase in the DHA status until 18 weeks gestation, the DHA status steadily declined thereafter. This pattern was associated with a progressive increase in the DHA deficiency index in maternal blood throughout pregnancy and resulted in a sub-optimal neonatal DHA status. The overall maternal EFA status also declined steadily during pregnancy. Therefore, the question arises whether the mother, under the prevailing dietary conditions, is able to meet the high fetal requirement for EFA.

Reporting Forms Now Available for Revised Texas Franchise Tax
(AUSTIN) — Forms to report the revised Texas franchise tax based on the new margin calculation are now available on the state Comptroller's Web site for the May 1 due date for initial and final filers and the May 15 due date for annual filers. The forms can be found at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxforms/05-forms.html.
"Our office is offering electronic reporting and payment options to make it fast and easy for taxpayers to do business with us," said Texas Comptroller Susan Combs. "For the first time, taxpayers can submit their franchise tax data and payment electronically to save time and postage."
Taxpayers will receive notices by mid-April, giving them information needed to file franchise tax reports electronically, including identification and security codes to ensure the confidentiality of their data. Electronic reports and payments may be submitted beginning April 14. The report forms and instructions have already been available in preview form on the Comptroller's Web site to help guide taxpayers.
Taxpayers who prefer to mail a paper report can still take advantage of the online forms, which contain dynamic fields that help prevent calculation errors and unique bar codes to help process reports more quickly and accurately when they are printed and mailed.
The Comptroller's office advises that franchise tax reports must be submitted on the correct forms, or they cannot be processed and must be returned to taxpayers. Some outside vendors have been selling tax preparation software that does not meet the requirements of the processing system.
The Texas Legislature revised the franchise tax by changing the tax base and the tax rate and extending coverage to most legal entities. About 200,000 new entities will have to file franchise tax reports for the first time this year.
During the last year, agency experts have spoken at industry conferences and to taxpayers groups, hosted 10 taxpayer seminars throughout Texas, and conducted a dozen Webinars to inform taxpayers about changes to the tax. Two additional taxpayer seminars will take place in Dallas and Houston during April. Details are being finalized and will be announced soon.
"We are committed to informing taxpayers about changes to the franchise tax and making it as easy and painless as possible to file required reports and pay the tax," Combs said.
Answers to franchise tax questions can be found at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/franchise/ or by calling (800) 252-1381.

Last year it was injuries that plagued the Portland Trail Blazers.
This year it was an unexpected retirement, a lack of mesh time because of the lockout and then an all-out fire sale, as it replaced two starters and a head coach.
Those left on this ship with no sails are doing an admirable job of keeping it afloat. It may not be running full steam ahead, but it's not sinking either.
This is a breakdown of who is playing the best and doing the most to keep Portland's head above water in the last few weeks, starting with the team's worst player and building toward its best.

Model forces Google to reveal 'skank' blogger's identity
Asher Moses
August 19, 2009 - 1:50PM
A former Vogue Australia cover girl has won a landmark court battle to reveal the identity of an anonymous blogger who called her a "skank" and an "old hag".
Model Liskula Cohen sued Google in January in the hope of forcing the company to reveal the person responsible for allegedly defamatory comments on a blog called Skanks in NYC, which was hosted by Google's Blogger service.
"I would have to say the first-place award for 'Skankiest in NYC' would have to go to Liskula Gentile Cohen," the anonymous blogger wrote.
"How old is this skank? 40 something? She's a psychotic, lying, whoring, still going to clubs at her age, skank."
Cohen, who is actually 37, believed the posts were defamatory but was forced to take action against Google in order to unmask the blogger's identity before she could take further action.
On Monday in the US, Judge Joan Madden ruled that Cohen was entitled to sue the blogger for defamation and, in an unprecedented move, forced Google to provide the blogger's name.
The name will presumably be revealed in court. It is unclear when the matter will return to court.
The tall, blonde Canadian, who is based in New York, has modelled for Giorgio Armani and Versace and appeared on the cover of the Australian edition of Vogue.
But Cohen's modelling career ground to a halt in January 2007 when a man stabbed her in the face with a broken glass, requiring her to get 46 stitches, the New York Post reported.
The man, who was sent to jail, became angry after she objected to him stealing a bottle of vodka from her table.
Judge Madden rejected the claims by the blogger's lawyer that the comments were mere opinion or "trash talk", and that only factual assertions could be considered libellous.
"The thrust of the blog is that the petitioner is a sexually promiscuous woman," Judge Madden wrote in her judgment, noting that the comments were run alongside photos of Cohen in suggestive poses.
The blog, which was shut down in March, was almost entirely devoted to slagging off Cohen. It contained just five entries, all of which were published on August 21 last year.
"I really hope it's not somebody I know," Cohen told the New York Post.
"I'm a human being. I bleed. I have feelings. When I saw that blog, it was awful. All I can say for this person is, I really truly hope that they have more in their life than this."
Cohen's lawyer, Steven Wagner, told reporters that he hoped the decision would send a message that the internet was "not a free-for-all".
Anne Salisbury, the lawyer for the blogger, warned that the ruling would open the "floodgates" for anyone who has been the subject of a nasty comment online to take legal action.
A Google spokeswoman said: "We sympathise with anyone who may be the victim of cyber bullying. We also take great care to respect privacy concerns and will only provide information about a user in response to a subpoena or other court order."
In July, a landlord filed a lawsuit against a Chicago woman for writing on Twitter that her apartment was "moldy".
The landlord claimed the tweet damaged the company's reputation, even though the woman had only 20 Twitter followers at the time.

PNGSCAPE is hosted in the US, so presumably the same thing could apply to people making offensive, derogatory and false comments on here. Philma-hater, the whole NIPS crap about Chan, and the NGRA idiot etc etc come to mind.
"A ruling in the New York Supreme Court will allow model Liskula Cohen to find out the identity of an anonymous blogger who posted some of her photos with captions including the words "psychotic," "skank," and "ho." The site was part of Blogger.com, and Google has already complied with a request for the author's IP address and email. "[Cohen's attorney] said that once his legal team tracks the e-mail address to a name, the next step will be to sue Cohen's detractor for defamation. He said he suspected the creator of the blog is an acquaintance of Cohen. The blog has not been operational for months. The unidentified creator of the blog was represented in court by an attorney, Anne Salisbury, who said her client voluntarily took the blog down when Cohen initiated legal action against it. ... the judge quoted a Virginia court that ruled in a similar case that nameless online taunters should be held accountable when their derision crosses a line. 'The protection of the right to communicate anonymously must be balanced against the need to assure that those persons who choose to abuse the opportunities presented by this medium can be made to answer for such transgressions.'"

Fleeing passenger leads cops to basement meth lab
Suspect remains at large in Middletown drug case
Police said they found a methamphetamine lab in the basement of a Middletown home.
Officers tried to stop 22-year-old Chelsie Peck, who pulled in to the driveway of her home and her passenger ran inside.
Police said they didn't find the passenger, but they found an active meth lab.
"There's been three meth labs found so far this year, and this was the biggest largest of the meth labs," said Lt. Scott Reeve, of Middletown police.
Officers later identified the passenger as 35-year-old Douglas Wolf, who remains at large.
Peck was arrested after the traffic stop, which police said was initiated due to outstanding warrants associated with her license plates.
Neighbors said the situation was alarming.
"It scared me because you don't know what they have over there what they put in that stuff and how they cook it and what they do with it," said Michelle Lowry, who lives across the street from the home.

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? School officials in a Scottish town have reversed their ban on cameras in the lunchroom after initially telling a 9-year-old student that she had to stop posting her reviews of school lunches in a blog.
We applaud the budding restaurant reviewer, but we've checked Tuesday's school lunch menu and we don't really care to see photos of haggis-in-a-blanket with tater tots.
A salt and buttery: A Connecticut man was in trouble with police after he called 911 to report that a deli had messed up his order after he "specifically asked for a little turkey and a little ham, a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise." The dispatcher's response: "You're calling 911 because you don't like the way they're making your sandwich?"
He should have known better. If you have a food complaint you don't call 911, you blog about it.
Jane! Stop this crazy thing! A Russian Internet entrepreneur is setting up a venture fund that will invest in the development of household robots akin to Rosey the Robot Maid on the 1960s animated TV series, "The Jetsons."
We're in, as long as she gets our sandwich order right.

Otrabanda Records & Music:
"Music from the other side of here and now, now and then".
Otrabanda means 'the other side' in Papiamento, the Caribbean's oldest and largest creole language, spoken by the natives of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao and Dutch Antillean communities in the Netherlands. It is also the name of the famous district in Curaçao's capital, Willemstad that is home to one of the Caribbean's liveliest creole music communities.
Otrabanda Records releases contemporary and historical recordings of (acoustic) creole musics from around the globe with a special interest in the (Dutch) Caribbean, Africa and island musics of the world.
Oswin Chin Behilia is a genuine troubadour: communicative, entertaining, passionate, observant - making acoustic music in a mix of pan-Caribbean grooves. Many of his songs engage the social aspects of life on Curacao in a genre he calls his "social lyrics".
The Pacific coast of Colombia breathes the spirit of Africa - filled with the sounds of the African marimba, 6/8 rhythms, Afro-Colombian Fanfare, ancestral chants. This album offers a tantalizing glimpse at a cross-section of rural and urban music from older and younger generations from the cities of Buenaventura and Cali and the Chocó region with the marimba threading throughout the album like a musical snake.
Bokoor Beats collects vintage afro-beat, afro-rock and electric highlife tracks recorded by John Collins in his Bokoor Studio as well as his own compositions with his group Bokoor Band, pioneers of Afropop who performed and recorded in the 70s mixing western pop rhythms with indigenous African beats. Bokoor Beats also features tracks by Brekete & The Big Beats, Mangwana Stars, Oyikwam Internationals and T.O. Jazz.

Oswin Chin Behilia´s international debut album Bendishon disfrasá was well received. His second international release offers live renditions of his songs sung in Papiamento, the local creole language of the Dutch Antilles. His sextet which includes the crème de la crème of musicians from his native isle of Curaçao offers the perfect accompaniment to "Chin's" warm voice. The tracks on this album span a songwriting career that began in the 1960s and include classics of the Papiamento songbook as well as several of his most recent compositions.

Like the creole kitchen, the music on this disc is a gumbo of African, European and regional Caribbean influences.

Total-ly New Approach to Accessibility
Published by Angela May for Clos-o-Mat in Care and Support
Total Hygiene's new website
Specification of accessible toilets, bathrooms and washrooms is now simpler and quicker than ever, through major technological changes at Total Hygiene.
Britain's leading provider of disabled toileting solutions has completely re-worked its website- www.clos-o-mat.com, to optimise accessibility via all latest media. Further, it has generated pages on the key social media.
As a result, whether using a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or PC, specifiers have a user-friendly site that is purpose-designed to deliver access to all appropriate information, and a means by which to keep up-to-date with new developments.
The website's opening page itself gives an instant overview. At a click, tap, or flick, each individual sector is quickly downloaded and accessible, from individual product summary via detailed technical installation, servicing and maintenance information, through to legislative and design guidance for more complex hygiene rooms and Changing Places toilets.
On its social media pages, the company is keeping followers informed of its own, new developments, and issues and subjects of relevance to the sector.
"We live in a world where people access information in vastly different ways to even five years ago," says Robin Tuffley, Total Hygiene marketing manager. "It is also a world in which the numbers of people who need help with personal hygiene, because of health, age or injury, is also growing.
"Our ethos is about innovation, so it is appropriate our internet presence reflects the modern world, and delivers the information people want, in a format that is as easy as possible to access. Equally, using social media enables us to instantly communicate items of interest, reinforcing our position as a leader."
