Author has written 6 stories for Psych.
Hi. I'm Psycho22, I'm also new to Fanfiction. I wouldn't really be here if my older sister (Psychic101) hadn't convinced me to try. I like reading and writing. I have plenty of good ideas for many stories. Psych is one of my all-time favorite shows. I grew up with my sister… so that explains all of my psychological issues :)
I'm kind of young for a writer. Young as in I'm 12 turning 13 in a few weeks. But I've been told I act mature for my age. If that's a good thing?
I've been to Fanfiction many times always as a reader and viewer, but never as a writer so I look forward to it.
Interesting things about me...

Thousands of people gathered Saturday at Liberty State Park in Jersey City to demand that Congress create a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.
"I am thrilled to be here on this beautiful day with my friends and colleagues in the Congress of the United States to say that what the American people support in poll after poll, which is comprehensive immigration reform, is very close to happening in the United States Senate and that we will do it together," U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) told the crowd, standing atop a makeshift stage with Lady Liberty in the background.
Union colors dotted the crowd as the members of the Laborers International Union of North America and the Service Employees International Union turned out in force chanting "Si se puede" Spanish for "Yes we can."
"Jersey City is the landing place for so many immigrants who came here for the same reason I came here: economic opportunity and freedom" said Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy. "It is time for sensible immigration reform."
Healy and Menendez, the former mayor of Union City, were among a roster of elected officials at the rally that included Rep. Frank Pallone (D-6th Dist.), Rep. Rush Holt (D-12th Dist.) and Newark Mayor Cory Booker.
"I know, I believe, that together we can make this change," said Booker, as cheers erupted from the thousands who began gathering around noon for the four-hour rally.
A deal is being hammered out by the bipartisan, so-called "Gang of Eight" U.S. senators.
The framework calls for a path to citizenship for the roughly 11 million immigrants in the United States to be contingent on border security. It also calls for an easier path for those seeking legal immigration and favors the admission of highly skilled and highly educated workers.
Legislators also want to tighten employee verification and establish stronger protections for workers.
The measure is still a long way from becoming law. It must be approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee before coming to a vote on the Senate floor, Menendez said, adding he is confident that a Republican filibuster against the measure would be brushed back.
The rally, which drew a crowd of about 7,000 people, was organized by Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union and La Fuente, a New York-based coalition of community groups.
Wally Rivera, an organizer with the retail workers union and a North Bergen resident, implored Congress to welcome immigrants with open arms because "they are making our community better not worse."
"This is the land of the free, the land of opportunity, so let's stand by it," he said.

On a crisp October night, a crowd of smitten socialites flocked to Manhattan's hip Soho House for an invitation-only screening of Alfie and – for the cherry on top – a glimpse of its star. "It was like a casting call for Desperate Housewives," says Debbie Bancroft, a society columnist for Avenue magazine, who had just celebrated a special occasion. "I went up to him and said, 'You want to give me a little sugar for my birthday?' He leaned in and gave me a soft, sweet kiss on my cheek. I was in heaven." Law's costar Marisa Tomei witnessed the encounter "and arched her eyebrows at me," recalls Bancroft. "I said, 'I'm shameless, aren't I?' and she said yes." Bancroft didn't care: "I walked away covered in goose bumps."

Ticket #801 (closed zFeature: fixed)
Feature Freeze Exception: Thermostat
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Blocked By:
Hi FESCo!
I would like to request an exception for Thermostat:
This project was recently announced and open sourced at FOSDEM. I have packaged it up and posted a review request for it:
Once the package is approved, I would like to add it to Fedora 17.
Change History
comment:1 Changed 5 years ago by tmraz
You do not need a feature and feature exception for a package to be added to Fedora 17. You can add any new package that passes a review to released or branched Fedora releases through bodhi.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by omajid
But I would like it to be a Feature, if at all possible. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Definitions notes something can be considered a feature if it provides "exciting new capabilities we can trumpet fedora having--some of this is good public relations" and is "noteworthy enough to call out in the release notes".
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by limb
It could be for Fedora 18 possibly, but not Fedora 17, especially if it's not even reviewed now, a day after Feature Freeze.
That said, as stated above, you can certainly have it reviewed, and then build and issue updates for all supported releases. It just won't be in the F17 release notes.

"Dancing with the Stars" Couples Set to Dance Twice Monday Night
(LOS ANGELES) -- The eight remaining couples on Dancing with the Stars will pull double duty on Monday night.
Each celebrity-pro pair will attempt a dance style they have not previously performed. Later in the show, the cast will be split into two groups for a choreographed team dance.
Mark Ballas, the pro partner of recently-eliminated contestant Christina Milian, says the team dance can be a challenge for the stars. He explains to ABC News Radio, "When you're with a team, you all have to match. So it's all about synchronicity, timing, being, you know, good formation."
Comedian Bill Engvall adds, "We have to learn two dances in the same amount of time it's taken us to learn one."
Pretty Little Liars actor Brant Daugherty and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, will perform the jive for one of their dances, and he's looking forward to it. Daugherty quips, "Oh yeah, love it. It comes back to my awkward European heritage."
After the show declared everyone safe on last week's show, one couple should be eliminated on Monday night. The fun begins on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Later Rutgers' George Johnson intercepted a Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada pass, which gave Rutgers the ball at the Navy 20-yard-line. Five plays later Rutgers Ray Rice rumbled in from 4-yards out to extend the home team's lead to 14-0 with 4:58 left in the initial quarter.
Navy answered back with a 11-play drive which culminated with a 3-yard scoring pass from Kaheaku-Enhada to Reggie Campbell to cut the lead to 14-7.
Rutgers' Jeremy Ito added to the Scarlet Knight lead with 9:49 remaining in the half when he booted a 28-yard field goal to put his team up by 10, 17-7.
On the ensuing possession Navy drove from its own 32-yard-line to the Rutgers 4-yard-line only to see Ron Girault intercept a Kaheaku-Enhada pass in the end zone. Rutgers took over with 3:41 remaining. Rutgers then proceeded to march down the field to the Navy 22 and then Tice found Ray Rice for another score to put the home team up 24-7 with seconds remaining before the half.
Navy opened the second half with a 9-play, 67-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 2-yard Kaheaku-Enhada scoring run to bring the Mids back to within 10, 24-14.
Buffin later intercepted a Teel pass and returned to Rutgers' 34. However, the Navy opportunity was killed after Rutgers' Courtne Greene intercepted another Kaheaku-Enhada pass in the end zone.
Rutgers' Ito then made his third field goal of the day to put the Scarlet Knights up 27-14. Navy answered with a Matt Harmon field goal to make it 27-17 with 11 minutes remaining in the game.
Kinney Britt scored on a 53-yard pass from Teel to make the score 34-17 and seemingly put the game out of reach for Navy. Rice added to Navy's misery with a 2-yard run with 2:17 remaining in the game to make it 41-17 Rutgers.
Navy's Jarod Bryant scored on a 4-yard run with less than a minute remaining in the game to make the final score Rutgers 41, Navy 24. Navy finished with 254 yards total rushing. No Navy player had over 40 yards rushing.
Kaheaku-Enhada completed 5 of 12 passes for 32 yards and 1 touchdown along with the 3 interceptions.
Navy falls to 1-1 on the season. The Mids will next host Ball State next Saturday at 5 p.m. It's the 2007 home opener for Navy. Rutgers improves to 2-0. The Scarlet Knights next host Norfolks State on Saturday.

Longhorns' tailback Cody Johnson inspired to lose weight through text messages
Healthy eating and harder workouts have led to dropped pounds and the No. 1 spot on the running backs' depth chart for Cody Johnson.
After two years of being a short-yardage, goal line situation guy, Johnson proved this summer he can be an every down back.
"I worked hard, made up my mind and a good thing came out of it," Johnson said. "I have to keep working and not get too complacent to keep my spot here and make myself better on the field every Saturday."
Besides eating right and working out, Johnson says what really pulled him through was the encouragement he received all summer from his coaches via text.
"They were pushing me with the text messages and telling me I needed to drop my weight because they had faith in me," Johnson said. "That meant a lot. The day they give up texting is the day I really need to start to worry."
But losing weight isn't the only reason why Johnson is getting the start this Saturday.
"He's getting the start because of the production he's provided in fall two-a-days and spring ball," running backs coach Major Applewhite said. "He's allowed himself to be an every down back.
"Some of the things we had to pull him out of the game for last year - we're going to run this pass, we're going to use this screen - he was not fit for that play. He's allowed himself to be in the game and stay in those situations. If he continues to produce, he'll continue to get a full amount of carries."

bd has to realize that it needs to trim at the
top. until this is addressed the worker moral and
production will remain lower than it could be. bd is a
pretty good company but its management does not tap the
resources available to it. it is too hung up on the notion
that unless you have a bs degree you don't know
anything. the workers see what the problems are,but
management is slow to learn.due to this the stock price will
be slow to recover
For some addtional information on inhalers, look up the home page for INHALE (NASQ symbol INHL). They list some of their partnerships and stages of clinical trials.
The stability of BDX is for the long term, they
always have been, that is why they have been around for
100 years. They are not a short term, quick
turn-around company. By and hold for the future..by a lot and
hold for the future.
Is the company doomed? Not
by a long shot...the decision makers certainly our
leaving us shareholders swing in the wind. BDX's
conservative moves from the past can not be rehashed. It has
proven effective in the past...remember 100
The forecasted layoffs due to downsizing is of course
questionable. Employess are the best asset..it has been proven
over and over again. If BDX is monitoring this...PAY
I still consider BDX a strong BUY call for my
financial future. Pharmaceutical companys walk the same
tight rope when it comes to new products and inherent
risks. Part of increasing a product portfolio requires
risk and investment in other companies.
recent glucose monitoring issue is a prime example.
Since BDX does not other BGM type devices on the
market, my best guess is that a supply technology company
has fallen short on their deliverables. BDX simply
pulled the plug to protect themselves and us.
Just a short note. has anyone considered the
effects of inhale theraphy for diabetes. Also what is the
impact of Y2K on the monitors, etc. Could these issues
be affecting the price here? What will be the
outcome of either or both. Still need injection for many
Thanks for the feed. Too much focus on
the bean count and MIS would be a worry. Whoever
picks up the reins after CC steps down will have their
hands full. I am trying to figure out if the
restucturing is a reinvent or a real advantage. Hate to see
BDX bogged down by MIS ricebowls that could
negatively influence the leverage capability their looking
to gain. It's easy for this to happen if the top gun
can't see past the bells and whistles-it's hapening
where I work now...
No flames please. I'm not trying
to stir...
There have been a few questions, comments, and
references to the upcoming transition to BD's new CEO. I
hope this clears things up a bit for those
To the best of my knowledge, the outgoing CEO,
Clateo Castellini will be stepping down at the end of
this calendar year. He will be replaced by Ed Ludwig,
who is currently serving as an Executive Vice
President. Prior to that, Ludwig was SVP, Finance/ CFO. He
has a BA (Accounting, I believe) from Colelge of Holy
Cross (Mass), and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
After colelge, he was a CPA.
Prior to being CFO,
Ludwig was President of one of BD's operating divisions.
I'm not sure exactly which one, but it was (still is)
based out of Maryland, not Franklin Lakes.
short, he appears to be as qualified as anyone. When
Castellini created the post of Executive Vice President, he
created two such positions, and named Ludwig and Gary
Cohen to these spots. It was generally believed to be
somewhat of a horserace between the two men for the CEO
Ludwig may have gotten the nod because of his
involvement with BD's ongoing technology and transformation
effort, referred to as Project Genisis. Genisis is the
company's new comprehensive IT effort that intends to link
every bit of the company via one centralized network.
The project was developed offsite in Paramus, down
the road from the Franklin Lakes
One more bit of info: I don't have the exact address,
but if anyone is interested, look up a magazine
called "Executive Edge." Its on the web. A few issues
back (maybe Feb), they had a pretty good article on
Project Genisis, and a bit about Ludwig as
Enough for now. As always, questions, comments,
criticisms, etc.. are welcome via email
Best of luck to all...
Did you say ....cash drained by recent
look closely. Ohmeda? B-D easily smallest
participant in that deal !! and what new markets did that
Clontech?? ....is that an acquisition at all yet
expansion in India and China? really? how much
I have worries about all the above areas.Any
BD has always been a good stock mostly because
they generated a lot cash. But as you know recent
acquisitions along with expansions into China & India and the
one time charges most likely have taken a drain on
the $$$. When and if those markets kick in, BD could
be a winner. The concern in those markets is, will
they make money at it. The new sucessor seems be a
numbers guy.
The best way to drip your future investments is
on the basis
1. A good sector with a
stable and expanding market(s)
(not mature,
tired old markets)
2. A good Company within the
good sector
(and realistic plans and the means to
achieve them)
3. A good management that is
credible and able.
Suggest not this stock.
and probably not Ab either
Look at some
others in the sector .Yahoo finance gives good analysis.
Well Mr. piddler what can I say is that your
doing what most successful investor should be doing. Do
the drip thing and look at the longterm play. When
you think you can out think this market thats when
you get smacked like a bad school kid. I`ve done
both, playing the timing thing and the snail pace
investing of drips and i havebeen doing it for over 20+
years. Guess what ,the drip works just has well, if not
better when you think of all the stress and guessing
that goes on when making that big decision only to
find out it was bad timing on your part. Just buy
companies that are producing services or products that the
masses will use and forget the hype of some speculative
issue that going to break you. Leave all that nonsense
for the yahoos who will end up getting their
whuppings in the market, they will also wise up or just
drop up out completely in disgust. ABT is a winner
always has, look at their history. Drips may be slow on
the get go but stocks do split and before you know it
you will have a hefty size portfolio. Don`t buy
equities on borrowed monies its a loser`s game, watch
everyone go scrambling just to cover their margin call in
this short correction. Good investing
My entire portfolia went South today...except for
BDX, which has been going south of late. I am one of
those people you refer to as not an expert on BDX...but
own a few shares and like to listen to people who do
know what is going on. Do you know why BDX bucked the
trend today? I love seeing it, although I buy it
regardless (DRIP). I am learning about BDX (ABT is my major
holdings) and am intersted in profiting from your
knowledge. I read the post to which you responded and
understand your frustration. Just trying to enter into a
freindly converstaion about a stock I become more
intersted in daily...well monthly!

The Two Types of Quality Reviews
February 19, 2010 | Author: PM Hut | Filed under: Principles,Quality Management,Techniques
The Two Types of Quality Reviews
By Kerry Wills
Most delivery methodologies recommend conducting reviews of key deliverables at specific points in time on the project. Conducting these reviews is an effective way to ensure the quality of project deliverables. There are two types of deliverable reviews that should be added to the project plan and resourced.
- Peer reviews. Peer reviews involve having a 'peer' of a team member who is working on the team review their deliverables before completion or going for signoff. Examples of this include developers performing code reviews of other developers or a Business Analyst reviewing a peer's requirement documentation before going for business signoff. It is always helpful to get a fresh perspective on one's work, especially from someone who is familiar with the project. Peer reviews should be informal in nature.
External reviews. For critical deliverables a Project Manager might want a review from someone who is 'external' to the project. This usually involves brining in an expert in a specific domain area. Examples of project deliverables that should have external reviews include:
- Project Estimates (Project Manager)
- Project Management Approach (Project Manager)
- Requirements Strategy (Business Analyst)
- Technical Design (Architect)
- Testing Strategy (Quality Assurance)
In my experience, having these reviews has the single biggest impact on deliverable quality than any other activity, and they really don't require a lot of time.

How to deal with Mental Problems
No one ever chooses to be mentally ill... Never!
Understanding is the key to dealing with mental problems of family and friends. It is more than sentiment. It has healing qualities that can keep minor upsets from becoming worse, and help mentally sick people recover.
There are two kinds of understanding. The first kind is sympathetic understanding as you make allowances because the person is sick and you know that she can't help her sickness even though what she does may be disturbing.
There is also rational understanding -- an understanding of what's behind mental problems, why troubled people behave the way they do. This kind of understanding helps you to keep things in perspective and puts you in a reasonable frame of mind to deal with the troubled person -- to help him rather than fight him.
The first step in understanding the troubled person is to realize that her disturbing behavior or problem behavior may be more painful to her than to anyone else. Then, also recognize that troublesome behavior without apparent cause may be the effect of an emotional illness rather than a fault of character ... that troublesome people are people in trouble.
Here are several instances of disturbing behavior which tell us a person is in emotional trouble:
- belligerence - has a continuous "chip" on the shoulder, argues or quarrels at the slightest excuse.
- excessive moodiness - spells of "the blues" or "feeling down in the dumps"; feeling a great deal of the time that "nothing is worthwhile or really matters."
- exaggerated worry - continuous anxiety about nothing at all, or entirely out of proportion to the cause.
- selfishness and greediness - lack of consideration of the needs of others; a "what's in it for me attitude" about most everything.
- helplessness and dependency - a tendency to let others carry the burden; difficulty in making decisions.
- poor emotional control - exaggerated emotional outbursts out of proportion to the cause, and at inappropriate times.
- day-dreaming and fantasy - spending a good part of the time imagining "how things could be," rather than dealing with them the way they are.
- hypochondria - worrying a great deal of the time about minor physical ailments; experiencing imaginary symptoms of illness.
How to give Helpful Understanding
- Let the person know you are truly interested and care with a friendly attitude.
- Be a good listener with little interruption.
- Try to help out with some practical problems which relieves the emotional pressure and puts her in a better frame of mind to deal with difficulties.
- Read literature dealing with specific mental and emotional problems.
- Get the person help from a mental health professional.

It's hard to understand our culture's revulsion to success.
The favorite is celebrated only if he achieves with absolute flawlessness, an appraisal based upon unpredictable variables and judged by conflicting voices.
The general perception of an NBA superstar, even if buoyed by fallacy, can rise and fall with too many eyes scrutinizing a player's slightest of wrong moves.
Then there's the underdog, the player loved for his oppressed nature, even if he is just a tier beneath the favorite.
While some of the game's greatest celebrities are gaining momentous fan approval, others are losing favor in the market of public opinion.

With good reason to. This is absolute . I know all men are created equally but I sure as hell don't want these people coming into our country and take our benefits that we worked hard for. America is already appealing enough as it is to them, but now Kalifornistan offers them this? And they wonder why us little people complain.....

This frosts my butt, big-time. I had to jump through huge hoops to get my daughter resident tuition (as a military dependent) when she got into UCSD (her choice of schools, not mine) ... it was an long ordeal fraught with dealings with incompetent and unfriendly people working in the UC system ... and then I see this.
December 15, 2005, 01:11 PM
There's no end to this madness. The only hope is to vote the Pols from both parties out of their jobs, and most voters are too partisan to take that step, so it's pretty much over for America.

How is this gun related?
December 15, 2005, 01:19 PM
As the article stated, Kansas is trying to do the same thing. It's wrong, wrong wrong.
To make it worse, there was a kid from Kansas that just got out of the navy and wanted to go to school at KU. While stationed in Florida, he renewed his drivers license as a Florida license. Kansas said he had to pay out of state tuition and the only time he was out of the state was while serving in the navy. But the river jumpers can get by paying in state tuition.
What about "illegal" is so hard to understand?:cuss:
December 15, 2005, 02:10 PM
Isin't Mexico still claiming parts of the US as their own? I mean with them sending school books to our school systems and training illegals on how to get
into our country and how to get benifits that we can hardly get, like free

Creeping Incrementalism

What bugs my mom about this is then when she was going to college, in the late 60's/early 70's, a married woman's residency was determined solely by her husband's residency. She was a Californian, married an Airman who wasn't, and suddenly had to start paying out-of-state tuition.
The thing that bugs me today (besides the fact that these people are here illegally) about this is that most illegals aren't paying taxes (being undocumented and all), so they are getting the benefits without paying the costs.
Oh, and I hear that much of California's gun crime is caused by illegel immigrants, so now this thread is about guns.

If it hasn't had the stock cut for a recoil pad, I would say that it should be worth $500-550. At least that is what I would pay if I was looking for one in .243.
I paid $500 for this '57 Featherweight in .30-06 with a period 6X Kollmorgan scope. The stock was cut and it shows a lot of hunting wear. It does shoot 1" groups at 100 yards.
May 7, 2013, 10:32 AM
The old M70's in standard calibers like 243 were heavy rifles.
That's why I never bought one when they made them nor do I have one.
Something is not right with a standard grade 243 that shoots only 1 1/2" groups at 100 yds. Of course those could be with poor ammo, a loose or defective scope, 10 shot groups, or poor shooting, lots of wind etc.
If the butt plate and LOP are original and the guard screws are not messed up offer $550 for it as I think I could get it shooting better than that.
May 7, 2013, 11:40 AM
Condition is everything. Pristine examples go for 1000$ plus. A nice used example with some wear would be 5-700$. People usually ask too much for them and they do not sell.
May 7, 2013, 11:41 AM
Its all original.The 1 1/2" groups are due to the operator(me).I have shot 3/4" groups but not consistently.I am the third owner,got it in '91.Took more than 40 deer with it.The other guys used it for groundhogs.It is heavy but is steady for offhand shots I have made on deer drives.It has the red factory butt pad.
May 7, 2013, 12:32 PM
Rifles made prior to WW-2, or in rare configurations or calibers are the only pre-64's that really command any collector interest. A 243 would bring a little more than a 30-06 everything being equal. You might get $600-$650 for it to the right buyer.
From 1964-1994 any pre-64 sold at a premium because it was the only option for CRF. Now that Winchester has brought back CRF the prices on common pre-64's has dropped. You can buy a brand new 70 that is far better than a pre-64 now for around $700-$750. That makes it hard to sell one for much more than $500-$600 to anyone who keeps up with prices.
There are lots of guys out there who still think any pre-64 is a collectors item and will sometimes pay a premium for them. That is why you often see them priced so high.
May 7, 2013, 12:54 PM
Thanks for clarifying.I paid $400 for it in '91.It will probably go to the grandsons along with a Ruger in .243.It seems the 2 rifles are about equal in value.
May 7, 2013, 01:05 PM
You didn't say whether it is a standard grade or featherweight. A featherweight 243 would probably bring more money than a standard grade. Some of the guys on here talk down the value of the pre 64's, for whatever reason, and you can see examples posted on this thread. Strange as it may seem the most value of you rifle could be to take it apart and sell the individual pieces like a salvage yard sells car parts. The magazine box, follower, spring, extractor ring and extractor will bring $200 easily. The bolt and receiver in very good condition will bring $600. A steel floorplate and trigger guard in good condition will bring over $100. It all depends on the condition of the metal. Sometimes an old rifle with a beat up stock will have near perfect metal.
May 7, 2013, 01:50 PM
I think its standard grade.With scope its over 9 lbs.The fore end had been rested on branches and logs or fence posts in hunting situations and rubbed the finish.Also the stock has some light scratches.Also,my definition of a group is center to center of the two widest spread holes in a three shot group.I believe minute of angle is measured differently.
May 7, 2013, 02:20 PM
3212, if there is a bulge under the rear sight it is a standard grade. A featherweight will say Winchester Model 70 Featherweight on the side of the barrel where the cartridge is listed. About 80 percent of the value of your rifle is in the metal. As a hunting rifle I wouldn't get too excited about a few scratches on the stock. Where I live it takes a pre 64 Model 70 in really poor condition to sell for less than $600. A rifle chambered in 308 Winchester will sell for about $200 more than a 30-06. A rifle chambered in 270 Winchester will sell for about $100 more than an 30-06.
May 7, 2013, 02:24 PM
Its not a featherweight.
May 7, 2013, 02:49 PM
i would think more like $700-$800 range if what retail would be. Put it up on gunbroker and I am guessing you will get $750 within a week.
May 7, 2013, 03:41 PM
I think giving the Model 70 to a grandson is a great idea, assuming you have one that will keep it in the family. There were only 581,471 Pre 64 Model 70 rifles made and only 6,812 of them were standard grade 243 Winchesters. That shows the uniqueness of your rifle. They also made 24,707 featherweight 243 Winchesters. Finding a rifle in excellent condition is getting harder and harded to do and the prices keep going up. Most of the time they sell for more money than a new Model 70. The other guys keep talking about "shooter" rifles as if there is something wrong with them. They are what I look for because I am not a Model 70 collector and I don't like one without a recoil pad. I think adelbridge has a good handle on the value, save it for your favorite grandson.
May 7, 2013, 03:42 PM
Well, I paid $700 for a new Ruger M70 Mark II stainless,laminated,scope,.243 6 years ago.I think I'll let the two grandsons choose their rifles when the time comes.Neither one has much recoil but they really put the deer down.Plus I can put 20 rounds through them at the range wearing a t-shirt and no sore shoulder.
May 7, 2013, 03:53 PM
Ask suttle questions and find out which one wants the Winchester, then designate a particular rifle for each grandson. That way they will be mad at you and not at each other. You won't know the difference later and you'll pass on with happy thoughts!
May 7, 2013, 05:02 PM
Yes,that's my issue.I think I will specify that if one rifle is worth more at the time the difference will be given in cash to the child who gets the lower value gun.But values flucuate over time and maybe some sentimental value.There is only so much you can do anticipating the future.My son-in-law(their father)is an experienced dealer in various commodities,hopefully they will have the benefit of his advise.They are 12 and 10 years old and proficient with .22's.

Holly Sklar is a widely published op-ed columnist and author. Her op-eds for the Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service have appeared in hundreds of newspapers and online outlets. Sklar is coauthor of "Raise The Floor: Wages and Policies That Work For All Of Us," which Barbara Ehrenreich calls, "A commanding work and powerful tool for the living wage movement" (www.raisethefloor.org). Sklar`s other books include "Chaos or Community? Seeking Solutions, Not Scapegoats for Bad Economics," hailed as "a tour-de-force of accessible economics and social analysis," and "Streets of Hope: The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood," the widely taught story of how the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative is rebuilding a long impoverished Boston community as a dynamic urban village. Sklar`s first book, "Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management," foretold the global corporate economy before "globalization" was a buzzword. She is a contributor to numerous high school and college text anthologies and is a frequent guest on talk radio.

The fact that "Star Maker's Apprentice" is not well known among humanity as of 2015 is a result of a few factors.
First, there has been a very limited distribution of the document. The hardcopy paperback edition has never been advertised for sale.
Second, there is a gulf of cultural alienation that exists between the Author, who is a higher–dimensional creature masquerading as a member of the planet's dominant species, and his intended audience, an intelligent… (more)
As the author, I invite comments and contact. The order of Chapters has been significantly changed as of April, 2015. I have moved all of the important parts of the story forward, and moved almost all of the supportive and philosophical commentary into the more proper secondary role. Hopefully, this will enable the maximum number of readers to get into and beyond the parts of this story that I feel most compelled to publish. My personal comments and admonitions, while important, can be read after the book's unique climax.
Completed writing and uploading a sequence of updates to Chapter One, Chapter Six, and Chapter Seven.
Finished minor update and adjusted the order of paragraphs in the Description.
Continuing work on the iPad multimedia version of the book, which will feature the author's voice reading all Chapters, high resolution graphics, short video clips, and links to supplemental online content.

Sir.—One of the major limitations of the study by Duncan et al1 regarding the growth velocity in exclusively breast-fed infants is, as the authors point out, the lack of a suitable control group of infants; however, the major finding in the study of significantly reduced rates of growth in both weight and length in exclusively breast-fed infants compared with National Center for Health Statistics standards deserves comment.
As the authors note in their discussion, many others have described the decreased rate of weight gain in breast-fed infants, but there is little information regarding rate of gain in length. We suggest a reason for the decreased rate of growth in length in the breast-fed infants in this study.
The 33 infants in the study apparently were truly exclusively breast-fed for the first six months of life without any supplemental vitamins or minerals. In most of the other references cited

Interesting Alt Costume Engine limits:
They cannot change the characters voice.
As a rule, the costume they are choosing have to be the same character. So no Rosalina, Daisy, Shadow, or genderbending. I have no idea what this means for clones like Solid and Naked Snake or evolutions like Pichu to Pikachu/Igglybuff to Jigglypuff to Wigglytuff or alternate world counterparts like Mr. L or reincarnations like Link and Zelda and Ganon though I am guessing incarnations in LoZ are technically the same person so it is a possibility.
As we suspected, it's basically an advanced form of cBliss.

Tribal leader: Saleh's return would destroy Yemen
Sahwa Net
Sahwa Net- con Yemen.
In an interview with Al-Ahmar, he voiced his willingness to depart Yemen if that would stop bloodshed and any potential conflicts inside the state.
He affirmed that he has no ambitions to rule Yemen, pointing out that he prefers to be an observer for the rule in Yemen.
He further called the Vice President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi to carry his responsibility as the Yemeni constitution authorizes him to run the state.
Al-Ahmar has agreed to a truce with the country's vice president, Yemen's interim ruler, after President Saleh left the state for treatment in Saudi Arabia. It is not clear if Saleh plans to return to Yemen or remain in Saudi Arabia.

house.gov CampaignForLiberty.com Lately many have characterized this administration as socialist, or having strong socialist leanings. I differ with this characterization. This is not to say Mr. Obama believes in free-markets by any means. On the contrary, he has done and said much that demonstrates his fundamental misunderstanding and hostility towards the truly free market. But a closer, honest examination of his policies and actions in office reveals that, much like the previous administration, he is very much a corporatist. This in many ways can be more insidious and worse than being an outright socialist. Socialism is a system where the government directly owns and manages businesses. Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. In a corporatist state, government officials often act in collusion with their favored business interests to design polices that give those interests a monopoly position, to the detriment of both competitors and consumers. A careful examination of the policies pursued by the Obama administration and his allies in Congress shows that their agenda is corporatist. For example, the health care bill that recently passed does not establish a Canadian-style government-run single payer health care system. Instead, it relies on mandates forcing every American to purchase private health insurance or pay a fine. It also includes subsidies for low-income Americans and government ...

Edgar May, who won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of stories on welfare for The Buffalo Evening News in 1960, died Thursday in Tucson, Ariz., where he had a winter home.
May suffered a stroke three weeks ago. He was 83.
Mr. May developed his welfare series by going undercover. He abruptly left his job at The News in 1959, grew a mustache, donned a pair of glasses that gave him headaches, and spent six months as a caseworker for what was then the Erie County Department of Social Welfare. His series of 14 articles, "Our Costly Dilemma," which revealed an overwhelming snarl of red tape in the welfare system, led to an overhaul of county welfare operations, the hiring of more caseworkers and stepped-up prosecution of welfare fraud cases.
"Ed May holds a special place in the history of The Buffalo News," News Editor Mike Connelly said Thursday. "His investigative reporting, including undercover work as a caseworker, made a difference in the administration of social services in Erie County and New York State. Decades later, his commitment to getting the story remains an impressive example of journalistic dedication."
Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Mr. May came to the United States with his widowed mother and his sister in 1940 as Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust. He grew up in Forest Hills, Queens, and Pittsfield, Mass. He began his newspaper career as a file clerk for the New York Times from 1948 to 1951 and took night classes at Columbia University.
He was a reporter and editor for the Bellows Falls (Vt.) Weekly Times from 1951 to 1953, where he won awards for his news and feature stories, and was a reporter for the Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel in 1953 before serving in the Army, where he was assigned for 18 months to the Public Information Office at Fifth Army Headquarters in Chicago as a speech writer for the Fifth Army commander.
He graduated with a journalism degree from Northwestern University in 1957, then worked in Europe as a freelance writer before joining The News in 1958. Early in his career here, he found evidence that police overlooked at a murder scene that became crucial to the investigation.
After winning the Pulitzer, Mr. May wrote a book on welfare and poverty, "The Wasted Americans," in 1964.
He was director of public welfare projects for the State Charities Aid Association of New York, a private health and welfare agency, when he was called to Washington, D.C., to become a member of President Lyndon B. Johnson's study group on poverty. He became special assistant to Office of Economic Opportunity director Sargent Shriver, helping to form the anti-poverty agency, and in 1965 was appointed its assistant director of inspection.
He served as deputy director of VISTA, the domestic Peace Corps, and became a senior foreign service officer in Paris when Shriver was ambassador to France. He moved to Vermont in the early 1970s.
In 1974, he was elected to the Vermont House of Representatives as a Democratic representative from Springfield, two years after his sister, Madeleine May Kunin, was elected to the House. She went on to become the state's first female governor.
"He really had a passion for improving people's lives," Kunin told Vermont Public Radio. "He was dedicated to public service."
After four terms in the House, Mr. May became a state senator in 1983, serving as chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He retired in 1990.
"He was a lawmaker's lawmaker. He was greatly regarded on both sides of the aisle and of course he had a great literary career," Vermont State Sen. William Doyle, a Republican, told the Eagle Times newspaper of Claremont, N.H. "It was a great pleasure to serve with him, he will be greatly missed for his bipartisanship … both parties had great respect for him."
In retirement, Mr. May concentrated on many community projects in Springfield, including the construction of a facility that bears his name, the Edgar May Health & Recreation Center, for which he was the chief advocate and fundraiser.
The center noted on its website that Mr. May "was particularly passionate about those who were less fortunate and demanded that our Recreation Center have the most affordable rates in our region, particularly for youth and senior citizens. [He] was also personally committed to ensuring that no resident be turned away due to the inability to pay."
His first wife, the former Louise Breason, died in an auto accident in Vermont in 1967. He was seriously injured in the crash and was hospitalized for nearly four months.
Survivors include his sister. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

I was there – Peekskill 1949
On August 27, 1949, Paul Robeson was scheduled to sing at a concert sponsored by the music group People's Artists at the Lakeland Acres Picnic Grounds, a few miles north of Peekskill, New York, about fifty miles north of New York City. This was a favorite summer resort area frequented by progressive intellectuals, especially because of its proximity to Croton-on-Hudson, where many progressive artists and writers lived. The author, Howard Fast, who was vacationing in Croton-on-Hudson, was asked to chair the concert.
Peekskill remembered
The concert scheduled for Aug. 27, 1949, in Peekskill, N.Y., was supposed to be routine. Though it had been organized by People's Artists, a brand new spin-off organization of the People's Songs formation that had launched the Weavers into the top-40 charts, it was the fourth such concert to benefit the Harlem Chapter of the Civil Rights Congress.
On the passing of two "lions"
Two "lions" died last week. One was known, adored by millions, and a life-long Democrat. Born to a privileged life, he could have done anything, including choosing a life of relative leisure. Instead, he turned into a tireless liberal warhorse for justice in all its many forms.

When we arrived in the nation's capital we went to a hearing room in the Russell Senate Office Building.

Health care reform and criticism of weapons
I spoke last weekend at a public library in Blue Hill, a small coastal town in Maine. Most in the audience worked and voted for President Obama, but in the course of what was a very interesting conversation, it became clear that most of them haven't done much since then. How to explain this? Probably they thought that they had done their part in electing a new president and that the country would move in a progressive direction on the strength and momentum of that victory. Obviously, this hasn't happened.
Health care public option debate cut the baloney
A lot has been written about the health care public option over the past few days. While some commentaries discuss the honest concerns many Americans have, others claim the would-be government-run plan is dead in the water.
British citizen speaks out about health care
I am English (and a dual citizen of England and the United States) and I am increasingly frustrated with the misinformation reported regarding socialized medicine. Several opponents of health care reform--including major conservative radio and TV commentators and several Republican politicians--claim that in England major surgery is not given to those over 59. This simply is NOT TRUE!

In his essay, Hunger in the Pews, Father Benedict Auer O.S.B. observes how many people in our post-modern religious milieu continue to "file into churches throughout this country hungering for the Word of God or even an inspirational word or two… in the face of almost endless disappointment hoping beyond hope that they may get something to take back home with them to help them through their week." Despite America being unique among the industrialized world in the emphasized role of religion in daily life, most Americans tend to be representative of a phenomena of people who, in Auer's words, "a whole generation of Catholic illiterates." Sadly, this is not only true of American Catholics – it can equally apply across the board of many major and minor Christian denominations – it is also true of those who, having left their pews, have turned to the mystical path hoping to find some kind of recourse (or counter-point) to the spirituality of their youth.
Since the New Age phenomenon of the 1960's, many millions of people have turned to mysticism as the answer to their problems with exoteric religious teachings, paying thousands of dollars sometimes for seminars on meditation, creative visualization, empowered prayer, etc. The majority of these people, unfortunately, become quickly when they realize that the mystical life is not a "feel good" pursuit as many gurus or authors (misre-) present it but is, as many have accurately noted, a path beset with many external and internal dangers and trials. The high failure, or drop-out, rate for those who pursue the mystical life comes primarily from the lack of qualified instructors or peers in one's spiritual community as well as the unfortunate severing of the mystical in post-Enlightenment era academic and philosophical inquiry. Among those who are fortunate enough to find sound resources (mostly in the form of literature, though sometimes mentors) toward understanding the mystical experience, this often solitary path can still lead the student astray if they are unable to find an appropriate peer or group to act as a sounding board resulting in the accumulations of various aggrandizements, delusions, or misperceptions.
Amongst those in esoteric religious groups, the above dangers can be especially potent. Anyone with some experience or involvement in contemporary, alternative religious movements likely have some experience or another with individuals (or themselves) undergoing some kind of spiritual crisis. In her essay, Magusitis: A Hydra in Sheep's Clothing, Nadine Drisseq examines the pitfalls of transcendence: "Some very common examples of archetypal intoxication are: the Wiccan who thinks he is the martyr of the goddess, or the Thelemite who thinks she is the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley. Whilst transcendental states are useful, enjoyable and provide experience of the Numinons, they too have their baggage." She further breaks down the stages of "infection" amongst those whose mystical pursuit has gone awry:
"PRIMARY STAGE: The magician is immuno-magickally compromised since all the necessary and underlying basis for infection are present. This stage is a latency period where the magician exhibits behavior of talking big to make himself feel better, gloating at people who are magickally less experienced, and general feelings of personal insecurity. Instances of paranoia are common, and the magician feels isolated if these issues are not brought out and dealt with.
SECONDARY STAGE: The magician starts to believe that others are out to get her. She feuds with others, often curses people or groups of people (since cursing makes her feel more powerful and confident). She gloats when others have misfortune as it makes her feel more powerful compared to them (her perceived enemies). She takes the slightest comment the wrong way. She gets upset when she does not win an argument, and this can be combined with the childish mechanisms of sulking (which sometimes gets results through guilt tripping the person she is sulking at). Childish spats of anger and foot stomping are also not uncommon. These behaviors may not be quite so obvious but are translations of these childish idiosyncrasies.
TERTIARY STAGE: The magician really starts to lose it. Tertiary stage is rarely observed by the magickal culture at large because by this time the magician is so enraged / paranoid / sulky / paranoid that she withdraws from from public or community interaction. I have also heard of instances of the magician putting on a lot of weight along with this stage, although this may be a parallel and not a symptom."
Replace "magician" with "seeker", "student" or "practitioner", and it can be illustrated that this problem can arise across most, if not all, spiritual boards. For those of us whose mystical experience comes through the lens of Christianity (in particular Christian Gnosticism), there are fortunately some avenues for those to "check themselves" as they progress along the inward, or mystical, path.
It is highly advisable that one attracted to Christian mysticism have at least some understanding of scriptural study and prayer practice. For Catholics, this is easily obtained through undergoing courses such as the Rite of Christian Initiation in Adults; for others joining a Bible study group may also be of some benefit as well. In addition to this, attending interfaith prayer meetings such as Taizé or even some Quaker meetings might be of some help as well – especially for those who are disaffected by conventional churchmanship. For many self-identified Gnostics, finding and attending a church may be somewhat difficult depending on what part of the country in which one lives; here, participating in online social networking sites such as Facebook may be their only connection to other Gnostics, in particular Gnostic clergy. Finding members of churches such as Ecclesia Gnostica, the Apostolic Johannite Church, Ecclesia Gnostica Mysteriorum or the Alexandrian Gnostic Church should be fairly easy and participation on interest pages can yield some great results where one can meet new people and peers.
If possible, the potential mystic should also engage in a thorough study of classical literature on mysticism. Anthologies such as the Philokalia, the Classics of Western Spirituality through Paulist Press, and the writings of Theresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and Meister Eckhart should provide a valuable background. These should be read slowly and ideally with a friend who is either familiar with the material or can read along with you and with whom you can exchange notes and reflections. Auditing religious studies courses, in particular medieval religion or attending monastic retreats is another possibility that should not be overlooked. Throughout the entire process, keeping a journal is also highly advisable as a way of storing and reexamining one's comprehension of what you are studying. Setting aside regular time for prayer, study and reflection by this point should become a part of daily experience.
After about six months to a year of regular study and practice, one should by this point attempt to find a peer or member of clergy with pastoral experience with whom they can discuss their experiences and discuss their growth either by phone or in person. It's a common misconception that the mystical life must be a solitary experience. Most Gnostic and esoteric communities are largely led by members who lead secular lives in addition to their participation in religious life and do not offer (at this point) cloistered monastic groups. How this may or may not change in the future is yet to be seen. In absence of being able to find a spiritual guide, finding a good counselor who is open to discussing spirituality is an option that should not be overlooked.
The mystical life, while often a solitary experience, does not need to be a lonely experience. After nearly fifteen years in pursuit of mystical and contemplative life and falling into some of the above pitfalls along the way, I have been fortunate enough to have support along the way by people who have been able to provide me the advice I have given and wish to share it with those who have the discipline to follow through on this very rewarding approach to understanding the divine in its manifold splendor. Keeping balance is (no pun intended) the fulcrum of any healthy spirituality – keeping things in perspective, keeping a fit body and mind, and being constantly devoted to the practice will yield many years of fulfillment. Enlightenment, however, is up to you.

LONDON (AP) – Frank Lampard provided yet another reminder to Chelsea of his value to the team as the veteran midfielder helped to clinch a 4-1 victory over Wigan in the Premier League on Saturday.
Lampard, who scored England's match-winner against Brazil on Wednesday, got his 12th goal of the season for Chelsea during an influential display that provided further justification for owner Roman Abramovich to give him a new contract beyond this season.
The Blues responded to Tottenham's victory over Newcastle earlier Saturday by securing the victory that keeps them a point ahead of their London rival.
Ramires completed a flowing move in the first half to put Chelsea in front, and Eden Hazard marked his return from suspension after kicking a ball boy by extending the lead after the break.
Shaun Maloney gave relegation-threatened Wigan brief hope of a comeback by quickly pulling one back, but Lampard's goal came in the 86th minute and substitute Marko Marin scored his first Chelsea goal in stoppage time.
Lampard's goal put the 34-year-old midfielder just four behind Bobby Tambling's club record of 202.
Before the late goals, the atmosphere was flat inside a chilly Stamford Bridge. Benitez has been the target of abusive fan chants since his unpopular appointment in November and, three years to the day after Luiz Felipe Scolari was fired by Chelsea, Benitez's grip on the job has seemed perpetually precarious.
Just three wins in their last 10 games before Saturday had seen Chelsea exit the League Cup, forced to play an FA Cup replay next weekend against third-tier opposition, and any league title hopes fade fast.
This win, though, rarely looked in doubt after the early Wigan threat that saw goalkeeper Petr Cech block Franco Di Santo's angled shot with his left leg and keep out Maloney's curled shot with a diving save.
Chelsea managed to find the space to assert itself, with Hazard dragging a shot wide before Torres headed off target and sent a weak shot straight at goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi.
Chelsea's breakthrough in the 23rd after Torres latched onto David Luiz's pass and moved the ball forward to Ramires, who calmly dinked it over Al Habsi.
Al Habsi did well, though, to tip over a header from Torres as Chelsea continued to test Wigan with shots.
Lampard flashed wide from distance before setting up Oscar to curl over before the second came in the 56th.
Cesar Azpilicueta brought down Cahill's deep free kick with his chest, cut into the penalty area and squared to Hazard, who swept the ball under Al Habsi in the 56th.
But the visitors produced a response inside two minutes. James McArthur sent the ball to Maloney on the edge of the penalty area. Cech rushed off his line, but Maloney rounded him before dispatching the ball in the net from a tight angle.
But Wigan couldn't conjure an equalizer before Chelsea's late goals added gloss to the win.
From Hazard's cutback, Lampard blasted in from the edge of the penalty area. In stoppage time, Al Absi batted away a shot from Azpilicueta, but substitute Marco Marin reacted, sending a low header into the net to score his first goal since joining from Werder Bremen in July.
All that Chelsea was missing was a goal from Torres. The Spain striker was denied his first league goal since Dec. 23 by Al Habsi's late save.
