A refuge of rejuvenation located in central Manhattan, New York City, Science & Beauty Associates offers a full-range of non-invasive medical skincare treatments to counteract the ravages of daily urban living. Traffic, smog, pollution, subway congestion, UV rays and aging all take a toll on your appearance. Your skin is your first line of defense against these threats, and it quietly suffers while it wards off these daily assaults.
Over time, you begin to notice that the once youthful glow you always took for granted has been replaced by dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and other signs of stress. The skincare regimen you've always relied on just isn't working anymore. Your outward appearance belies the youthful, healthy person that exists inside you. You look in the mirror and are dissatisfied with what you see.

Perhaps 2007.0 *is* accurate. Perhaps they are simply "recycled" 2007.0
packages. After all, 2007.1 is more in the nature of an upgrade, the same
as 2006 Club, compared to the upcoming 2008.
To change the release name on the package would involve not only the package
name itself, but the name that you can see with "less
which is internal.

thank you all
sm: our pet shotgun is a mossberg 590 customized for close quarters by my gunsmith husband she lives right outside a spot that has a clear, close shot to the front door and where we can easily get some cover.
pax: I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE! it covers soooo many challenges with concealed carry that i too have experienced, and never had any women to discuss & overcome our specific challenges (especially with wardrobe). It's a wonderful resource for women who carry! I'll be spending lots more time there

We need to talk, and bring the gunsmith you sleep with into my "office" as well.
Have a seat, comfy?
Southern Gentleman I am and all, well it is like this you see. I know about PA, even Pittsburg, they got soft pretzels with mustard and Sheetz.
You are headed South. Fried Apples Pies, DuMond's Benets and Chickory coffee.
Oh not that one cannot duck hunt, quail hunt, dove hunt with a HD gun, just all that trouble for gunsmith hubby to make a Migratory Waterfowl Plug to restrict to 3 rounds only.
$1 says Steve goes there
Heck I got a Twenty says he does!-THR members
Don't worry about them folks, they blame me around here "for some reason" or another.
Now a lady needs a fine fitting shotgun. One for duck hunting and making duck gumbo...12 gauge , 26" - 28" barrel fits this task real well. Does a fine job on Doves...
Them Doves are sure mighty fine eating. Quail. Always respect the Quail.
Now often one does more walking than shooting. Watching dog work the field is a sight to behold.
28 gauge is what I recommend. Yep, you would like right nice with 28 gauge, I always found them complimentary to 1911s and K frames myself.
Way I figure it, a couple with a 28 gauge each of their own, out behind the dogs ,quail hunting together is, just one of them things couples are supposed to do.
Last time I went out bird hunting the afternoon was spent burning up 9x23 out of a 1911 style Race Gun. Then running and gunning with a carbine and shotgun.
It is all good , just Respect the Quail just means a 28 gauge is all.

Hi everybody!
</dr. nick voice>
I've been lurking for a while reading, and actually registered just to use the search function, and came across this thread in the process. Like a few others I'm a poor college student and have just got into target shooting! I've been to a range maybe a half dozen times in my life (my parents were not the outdoorsy type, so I didn't really grow up around them or anything). None of my friends are into it (super liberal hippie school , great education, but not exactly gun friendly to say the least), so I've been lurking through the forums soaking up the great information. My gf (soon to be fiance! ) is accepting enough that we're scheduled for a NRA safety course tomorrow morning, and she's going to try it out as a hobby with me.
At any rate, I have no guns at the moment, as I said I'd wait for her to take the class before bringing any firearms into the home. On the agenda is a .22 (just can't decide which one yet) for her practice, then for me a Sig 226 or 229 (CPO) for larger caliber practice. Although I have been eyeing the slightly more expensive Springfield Loaded black stainless combat model, but that'll probably have to wait till after I graduate, hopefully in just a few months! Once I have a larger income I plan on expanding into rifles, but for now the price of .308 makes me cringe.
So that's me, a Chemistry Major with an interest in target shooting.

Newbe member / Hello and God Bless
Live and work and Lewiston, Idaho. Retired from the local CCI Speer manufacturing facility in the 80's. Now working for another local employer but still shooting rimfire ammo purchased 20 years ago. Most of my shooting is with rifles and handguns. I especially like varmint shooting because of the volume of caps popped during a good days shooting. I enjoy this forum because of the willingness of members to share their experiece/expertise for the asking.

Hello, all. I'm new to the thread, but not new to guns. I carry a S&W 442 .38 special +P and/or a Charter Arms Bull Dog .44 special. Like 'em both, but the CA can be a bit sticky at times. Probably need to send it in for a trigger job.
I live near Portland, Oregon, which is an oxymoronic state (emphasis on moronic). Oregon is very blue, with the bigger cities riding herd over the less populated red parts of the state. Yet they have very (you should pardon the expression) liberal gun laws. No waiting to buy, simple $10 gun check with the state, and "shall issue" CCL laws, which I've tested and found the procedure very easy.
Haven't decided what I like best, revolvers or autos. I'm tending to lean toward wheel guns. My small collection of modern arms is pretty much split down the middle, though. Still, I generally like the way the revolvers perform and handle better than the autos I have. Maybe need to find better autos.
I'm a writer - have 5 westerns published - and I work in business communications. And I don't have nearly enough time to shoot.

This looks like a great site, I'm glad I found it!
I've been around firearms most of my life, and currently carry a Glock 23 and shoot many other guns.

Im Rob. I reside in Knoxvegas TN with my wife Jerrica, my daughter Ainsley, and my other babies; Mossberg 870 SP ( remington 870 w/ mossberg special purpose barrel), Mossberg 935 Magnum, Benelli Nova 20 ga. Slug, and last but not at all least Remington 700 SPS in 7mm Rem Mag. I came up on this site by wonderful accident and I look forward to finally being able to talk guns with people who love them as much as I do. Plus I think my wife may be jealous of my newest addition (the Nova), so she really doesn't want to hear about it anymore.

i'm relatively new to the board (having started a fight over in the legal/political section already it seems )
but as my name states, i'm a female with a CCW. i carry my springfield 1911A1 with a full mag of golden sabres everywhere i go.
i'm passionate about my RKBA and not afraid to get loud about it
my husband is a gunsmith (nice to have in home gun maintenance) and we've collected quite a nice variety of historical and modern weapons. Besides my pistol, i love battle rifles (m14 and cetme are my faves) and sniper rifles (hubby is building this custom one that i'm DYING to try out )
oh yeah, and we're moving to Louisiana this spring! wooohoo!

New Member Hello
I am a hunter (not a FUDD), a shooter (recreational) and gun collector.
My gun interests are wide and varied, with a special love for antique and vintage long guns. I own and greatly enjoy several EBR's, with an eye on acquiring more soon. I also am an avid handgunner.
I am a career Peace Officer (command level), who is looking forward to retirement. I am also a US Army Veteran of 14 years (Active, USAR and USARNG).
Married to a beautiful woman, have 2 kids (one grown and moved out) and have an all around great life.
Last and most importantly, I am an absolutist when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms. No infringements, no compromise, no apologies, no B.S., period.

2 workers injured in high-rise condo fire in Daytona Beach Shores
Motor on scaffolding catches fire, ignites chemicals
Two construction workers were hurt when a fire broke out on scaffolding at a Daytona Beach Shores high-rise Wednesday morning.
The scaffolding was outside a 16th-floor unit at the Oceans One condominium on Atlantic Avenue.
Get breaking news alerts sent to your email
One worker was transported with leg burns and concern about smoke inhalation, and the other worker had minor burns and was treated on scene
The scaffolding motor caught fire and ignited some chemicals that construction workers were using.
It's unclear why the motor caught fire.
Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the small blaze from inside the condo and adjacent units.
"The big fear would be that the fire would spread and cause one of the cables to snap and people would fall, and it all held together well for this," said Sgt. Bill Frank with the Daytona Beach Shores police.
The Shores' highest ladder truck reaches 72 feet and the fire as far higher than that.

EAST PALESTINE - Finance Director Traci Thompson and a water and sewer department employee have been approved to take over the administrative positions vacated by Gary Clark and his wife Cindy last week.
Following a lengthy executive session on Monday, council unanimously approved Thompson for the village manager position and Misti Martin for the clerk of council and administrative position. Both will serve on an interim basis until full-time replacements can be found.
Martin has worked in the billing department for the water and sewer department since 1997.
Thompson applied for the interim manager position.
Village charter allows any administrative officer to apply for the position, Municipal Attorney Shirley Smith said.
Thompson said she and Martin will continue working in their current capacities in addition to taking on the administrative duties.
The executive session was held with police Chief Pete Monteleone, fire Chief Brett Todd, water and wastewater superintendent John Jurjavcic, street department foreman John Boley, park foreman Jerry Coblentz, Thompson and Martin.
Council approved the appointments as emergency measures and compensation for the interim positions will be set at the April 23 meeting.
The Clarks resigned last week after several council discussions about their job performance. According to information provided by Thompson, Gary Clark was making $34.65 per hour and Cindy Clark was making $14.39 per hour when they resigned. The manager position is salary while the clerk of council position is hourly.
The Clarks both had more than 30 years of employment with the village.

JACKSON, MI – When Wendy Clifton started a downtown Jackson art walking tour three years ago, she hoped the event would eventually become Jackson's version of ArtPrize, the Grand Rapids art contest that draws entrants from all over the country.
Jackson's version still has a ways to go, but the spring artist walking tour has grown in participating businesses and artists each year, and the prize money available has risen each year.
This year's event is slated to include more than 40 authors, painters, sculptors, musicians and mixed media artists at more than 30 downtown locations. The event hours will be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, but much of the art will be on display at the venues throughout the week leading up to the event, which is new this year.
"This is happening the way I envisioned it," said Clifton, who owns A Frame Above, located at the heart of downtown across from City Hall. "The prizes would grow yearly and we would continue to upgrade the look of it and the amount of talent we have.
"It's pretty well on track, so I'm excited about it."
There will be $1,200 in prize money available, up from $500 last year. It will include a $600 grand prize for the overall winner, which will be decided by a public vote. Second place will net $400 and third $200. Voting will take place during the event. Each person is allowed one vote.
"The first year, we actually had to ask the artists to donate $25 for advertising," Clifton said. "Next year, I'm hoping we can shoot up the pot to $2,000. That's only going to draw more artists from the outlying areas."
In addition to featuring anywhere from one to four artists, each location will have special features in the theme of the business, ranging from arts and crafts to special sales to food exhibits. For example, Fortune Tommy's Ice Cream Shoppe will have a waffle exhibit.
The field features numerous artists who have been part of the tour in the past, but also many who are new to the tour. There will be a new first-place winner, as co-winners Brandon Marceal, a musician, and painter Mary Hertler Tallman are not in the field.
Authors will be featured more this year, including mystery writer W.S. Sager, who will be at Mat's Café on S. Mechanic Street, and local writing group The Lost Word Writers, who will be at the Carnegie branch of Jackson District Library.
The monetary prizes were donated by the Midtown Association of Jackson, the Downtown Development Authority and A Frame Above.

Smoking Cessation Health Center
Youth Tobacco Use: Downward Trend Is Slowing
Aug. 26, 2010 -- Current tobacco use by middle and high school students has declined over the past decade, but this trend has slowed in recent years and more work is needed to combat the problem, the CDC says.
The CDC, reporting in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, says comprehensive anti-tobacco programs need more funding and that the federal government should enforce legislation that requires larger, graphic health warnings on cigarette packages and in advertisements.
Further, broader tobacco-free policies, tobacco tax increases, and advertisement restrictions would help further reduce both youth and adult tobacco use, the report says.
The analysis was based on data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey, a school-based study that collects information on tobacco use and related behaviors. In this study, 22,679 young people participated; they were asked to complete self-administered questionnaires each year from 2000 to 2009.
Besides cigarettes, youths were asked about use in the past month of cigars, smokeless tobacco, pipes, small brown cigarettes wrapped in leaves, called bidis, and clove cigarettes, or kreteks.
Current use was defined as use on at least one occasion in the past 30 days. Experimentation was defined as ever having smoked a cigarette, even a puff or two, but fewer than 100 cigarettes.
Pattern of Tobacco Use Decline
Among other things, the report says that, from 2000 to 2009:
- Prevalence of current tobacco use reported by high school kids declined from 34.5% to 23.9%.
- Prevalence of current cigarette use dropped from 28% to 17.2%.
- Experimentation with tobacco dropped from 39.4% to 30.1%.
- Prevalence of current tobacco use among middle school students declined from 15.1% to 8.2%.
- Prevalence of current cigarette use among middle school kids dropped from 11% to 5.2%.
- Among middle school kids, experimentation with cigarettes declined from 29.8% to 15%.
The report notes that in 2009, some 8.2% of middle school students and 23.9% of those in high school reported they used tobacco in some form.
Decreases from 2006 to 2009 were found only among middle school students for current cigarette use in girls, dropping from 6.4% to 4.7%, and in non-Hispanic whites, from 6.5% to 4.3% in the same years.

MARTINSBURG - It's been a year since Martinsburg High sophomore Zachary Bowman collapsed on the school's football field while working out as part of an ROTC class.
Athletic by nature, Bowman - who was on the baseball team, has a brown belt in karate and was always on the go - didn't have any known medical problems until he went into cardiac arrest March 15, 2013.
That episode - Bowman's heart stopped beating three times on the way to City Hospital, before he was flown to Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., for a 10-day stay -was the beginning of a devastating time that has since had a happy ending.

Journal photo by Jenni Vincent
Zachary Bowman, second from right, and his father Paul Bowman attended a special ceremony Friday to honor first responders, including Martinsburg fire fighters Brad Mason, left, and Josh Williams, right.
Although he now has an internal cardiac defibrillator, Bowman has made a remarkable recovery and is back to many of his favorite activities - baseball teammates even created a special position for him since he still can't actually play.
But that's not the only team that's played an important part in his recovery and return to life, because the first responders who initially came to his rescue are credited with making the difference between life and death.
Those individuals - including representatives from Martinsburg City Police and Fire Department, Berkeley County Schools, Berkeley Medical Center and HealthNet Aeromedical - are now like family to the Bowmans and were the center of attention Friday afternoon when they were honored for their heroism.
As Bowman and family members watched, the first responders were presented with the American Heart Association's "HeartSaver Hero Award" during a ceremony attended by about 40 people at Berkeley Medical Center.
Individual honorees included Berkeley County Schools school nurse Rhonda McDaniel, Martinsburg Police Department school resource officer/patrolman first class Larry Ruffneer, Martinsburg Fire Department paramedic Kenny Bowers, Berkeley Medical Center, LaDonna Banks and Dr. Allen Meske and HealthNet Aeromedical flight paramedic Mark Longerbeam.
Emcee Donnie Grubb, Berkeley Medical Center trauma coordinator, said the award "honors those in the community who have performed CPR and/or used an automated external defibrillator to help save the life of a fellow citizen that went into cardiac arrest."
Speaker after speaker talked about the importance of teamwork, especially during a medical emergency, and how local medical professionals had gone the extra mile for Bowman.
And that's still true, because several of them now have a personal bond with Bowman and continue to check on his progress.
His mother, Meg Bowman, joked that her son is ready to celebrate his "first birthday," but was serious when she described the fear and uncertainty she'd experieced after finding out what had happened to him.
"Everybody's efforts kept my son alive...I just wish I could hug all of you. You are saints in my eyes," she said.
Speaking after the event, Zachary - who was accompanied by his father, Paul, and sister, Amanda - said he didn't remember much from those dark days.
"The last thing I remember was being on the track, running near the field house near the football field and then just falling down. I didn't feel anything, everything just stopped," he said.
His first memory after waking up was seeing his mother and his first word was "cool."
Things have continued to improve since then, including having an opportunity to honor (and visit with) so many first responder friends again, he said.
It also didn't hurt that he was treated to a special helicopter ride after the reception.
"I sure don't remember the first one," he said with a smile.

If these early needs are not met, we stand little chance of contributing anything valuable to society because, according to Maslow, our development will be stalled as we struggle to fulfill those early needs.
I can't help but think of Maslow when I hear about potential reductions in entitlements like MediCare and Social Security.
But then I thought, wait a minute. Maybe they are on to something. What if I emulate our esteemed representatives and cut future benefits to help pay down some deficits of my own?
So, in that spirit, I've decided to trim the future benefits by reducing the amount of care my wife I can expect from our children when they are grown in exchange for more immediate savings because I have some serious deficits of my own.
You see, instead of relying on Social Security or 401(K)s or my teacher's pension (in which I am mandated to participate) whose solvency seems to always be in question, I have opted to put my faith in the KIDS plan.
I figure with five children – two girls and three boys – the chances of my wife and I being supported in our golden years by our kids is pretty good. We wouldn't have to be a financial burden on any single one of them. They could always pull resources, or maybe at least one of them will make it big and give us a wing of their newly remodeled mansion.
However, the KIDS plan does not come cheap. There is food, clothing, activities, food, video games, CDs, food, field trips, fundraisers, food, braces, glasses, classes, food and then food.
Even the smallest reduction in this line item will greatly trim down other budget deficits.
The first to go will be the children's remuneration. Instead of giving them a weekly allowance, they will not be expected to help maintain the ol' homestead when they are grown. If the porch rail has a loose spindle or the toilet is suddenly leaking, none of them will be called. Any household repairs will be out-of-pocket.
Next to go is any item electronic, hand-held, cellular, digital, or any combination thereof. For this, after they have moved out and are on their own, none of the children will be guilted into calling their mother five times week. They will, however, still be expected to phone once a week to fill her in on every detail of their lives.
Activities will then go. Ice and/or roller-skating, movies theatrical or on-demand or on the computer, and bowling are all out in exchange for not being expected to chauffeur their mother or me to any doctor's appointment in the future. Any transportation that does take place will be handled as a point of service benefit.
Finally, any and all clothing purchased for the children will be void of any name brand as well as any resemblance to anything remotely in style. The trade off here will be that they will never have to make a special trip to our house to lift, soak, rub, scratch, change, stick, message, dab, smear, swab or wipe anything relevant to either of their parents.
With all these immediate savings I may be able to pay some credit card interest, buy a full tank of gas and still have enough left over for a pack of gum.
Maslow realized that people must feel secure before we can grow toward love, self-esteem and achievement of our personal capacities.
If we are to foster heightened development in each other as well as in our children, then we need to feel secure that what we are buying into for a time when we will be at our most needy and vulnerable will be there and cannot be toyed around with by those who will never really need it.

Competency Based Education
Posted on Monday March 25th 2013
Will competency based education do away with the traditional credit hour? Recently the federal government approved a liberal arts associate degree fully competency based program at Southern New Hampshire University and other locations. Others explore how such a change may influence the traditions of 15 week semesters and three credit courses. Colleges are beginning to experiment with more and different combinations of course delivery. MOOCs continue to influence the course delivery and colleges of the future may look very different than today. Yet, recent information about coursera, one of the three MOOC companies, suggests that contractual elitism guides them in turning away most collaborations with colleges and universities.

Fort Meigs -
This nationally-important fort, located in northwest Ohio on the banks of the Maumee River, played a crucial role in the War of 1812. Built by General William Henry Harrison to defend the Ohio Country against British invasion, Fort Meigs constitutes the largest wooden walled fortification in North America.
This video is available on DVD at Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, Ohio.
British and Canadian forces, assisted by Native Americans under Tecumseh, besieged the fort twice in 1813, but the 10 acre log enclosure with seven blockhouses, five cannon batteries and numerous earthworks presented a formidable defense. With two failed attempts, the British finally retreated.

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2090 - July 29, 2009 - ISSN 1539-5065 2 of 3
eBay said on Monday it would update its Best Match search algorithm beginning in September. Todd Lutwak, Senior Director of Seller Development, told AuctionBytes that the listing performance score is "recent sales" divided by "recent impressions." An "impression" is when a buyer sees a search results page that includes the listing.
"This helps small and medium sellers get their listings started on eBay," Lutwak said. "Now, if you put an item up on eBay, and it's well-priced, and the buyers are interested in it, it can have a higher average, kind of a listing performance, than something that's been on the site for a lot longer."
eBay said the listing performance score will be a more accurate measure of how buyers perceive a listing than recent sales alone, and on the page describing the change, uses an example: In the new Best Match, a listing with 100 recent impressions and 10 recent sales will score higher than a similar listing with 1,000 recent impressions and 10 recent sales.
New multi-quantity and single-quantity Fixed Price listings will be given a certain number of initial impressions in search results based on the relevance of similar listings. eBay said this is designed to improve the exposure of new Fixed Price listings that are relevant to buyers.
Lutwak elaborated. "When an item is listed on eBay, we'll be doing a listing performance analysis. We will look at the category, the keywords, if it's listed with the catalog, we'll look at the specifics, and the item attributes that the seller selected as well as the price and the shipping, and we'll give it a listing "score" if you will, and then, based on that score, we will give it different levels of impressions, based on our assumptions of how high-quality that listing is, in order to test our assumption, and then, if it performs through the test, we'll give it more impressions, and if it underperforms, we'll give fewer impressions. This is very beneficial to sellers coming onto the site with new listings."
He said this approach makes relevance the primary factor in search, benefiting both buyers and sellers.
Two additional changes Lutwak mentioned were eBay's new policy for auctions with the Buy It Now option - "we've added the policy that there needs to be a 10% difference between the start price in the auction and the Buy It Now price - we think that this adds more vibrancy to auctions" - and, "we have eliminated a lot of the Features that sellers sometimes added to their listings, therefore again, making the primary factor in search results the relevance and the performance of the listing." He said Featured First would remain and would be available only to eBay Top-rated sellers.
Top-rated sellers will get promoted in Best Match for Fixed Price listings. eBay said it would continue to consider shipping costs in Best Match, and Auction-style listings will continue to receive a boost in search results when they're about to end. Other factors include the seller's track record, Item title relevance, and Item cost.
Search Visibility Tool
Sellers will be able to drill down to the listing level and see how many listings there are on eBay for that item, and see their own listing's performance score, Lutwak said. Sellers will be able to see the attributes of listings on Page 1 of search results and will be able to compare them with their own listings. And, he said, "at the bottom of this analysis, you even have an update link that you can click on, and you can go in and update your listing and change anything that you want in order to improve its visibility."
Given that factors like free shipping might be more heavily weighted in one category over another, will this tool give sellers more information about which factors are given more weight by category? Lutwak said the tool would basically be telling sellers what the factors are on page one of search results, such as how many of the items offer free shipping. "Because you do this at the listing level, if you sold in collectibles and you sold in ipods, you would see that free shipping is more often used in the sale of ipods than it is used in the sale of collectibles. And you'd be able to see that pretty easily from this report."
Included in the tool are a seller's recent sales - "it tells you at the listing level how many items you've sold on that listing, how many impressions it got and what its listing performance score is. But you cannot see the attributes of other peoples' listings."

Parks Canada
Home > Library > Mount Revelstoke, Glacier, and Rogers Pass Management Plan > Planning Context
Immediately north of the confluence of the Illecillewaet and the Columbia Rivers, Mount Revelstoke National Park lies adjacent to the community of Revelstoke, with its population of 8,200. Approximately 48 km to the east of Revelstoke and 56 km west of Golden (population 4,300), Glacier National Park encompasses Rogers Pass National Historic Site. The historic site occupies a 25 km corridor along the Trans-Canada Highway and extends from the floor of the pass to the top of the ridge of the flanking mountains. It includes the Avalanche Crest where A.B. Rogers led his exploration party in 1881.
Ecological and socio-economic ties bind these areas to their greater ecosystem. Forestry companies lease much of the timber that surrounds the parks. Mount Revelstoke is adjacent to a hydro-electric dam. Skiing and snowmobiling are popular recreational activities outside the parks. Recognizing their place as part of a larger ecosystem, the parks place a high priority on working with neighbouring land managers. Old-growth rainforest valley bottom habitat in the region has been largely altered by the transportation corridor, hydro-electric dams and urban development.
The Trans-Canada Highway bisects Glacier National Park and Rogers Pass National Historic Site and runs through the southeast portion of Mount Revelstoke National Park. More than four million people drove through the parks and site in 2001; almost 15% of these travellers stopped to experience the parks. Most visitors use frontcountry facilities along the Trans-Canada. A much smaller percentage venture into the backcountry. An average of 11,000 trains pass through Glacier National Park each year.
Located close to the center of Glacier National Park, Rogers Pass provides a staging and operational area for park and highway maintenance, Figure 1. Adjacent to the Parks Canada operational area the Glacier Park Lodge operates a year round hotel, restaurant, gas bar and convenience store. The Rogers Pass Discovery Centre is the park's primary visitor facility and provides information, orientation and interpretation services.
Parks Canada acknowledges the interests of First Nations, in particular the Ktunaxa-Kinbasket, Secwepemc and Okanagan First Nations, in the planning and operation of these two national parks and the national historic site and welcomes the potential for increasing their involvement. The Ktunaxa-Kinbasket Treaty Council (KKTC) represents the Ktunaxa-Kinbasket peoples in the B.C. Treaty Commission Process and is currently in the Agreement in Principle negotiation stage with the governments of B.C. and Canada. Negotiations are ongoing with the KKTC to more formally determine the nature and extent of their involvement in these parks, as well as in Kootenay and Yoho National Parks. Other First Nations with overlapping interests in these four national parks are not presently participating in the treaty process.

Former Ambassador to Israel and the United Nations to Speak at FAU
A Veteran Diplomat Looks at
Challenges from Iran to Israel and Beyond
BOCA RATON, FL (December 23, 2009) – Florida Atlantic University's Alan B. Larkin Symposium on the American Presidency presents Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering with the lecture "America's Future in the Middle East: What is Obama to Do?" on Tuesday, January 26 at 2 p.m. in the University Theatre on FAU's Boca Raton campus. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at www.fauevents.com or by calling 800-564-9539. For information about group discounts, call the box office at 800-564-9539. Students and FAU staff may obtain complimentary tickets at the box office in the FAU Student Union.
Pickering is one of the country's most senior and experienced diplomats, with a distinguished career spanning five decades. A strong advocate for a vigorous American role in the Middle East peace process, he served as U.S. ambassador to Israel from 1985 to 1988. He also served as ambassador to Jordan, Russia, India, Nigeria, El Salvador and the United Nations. Pickering has held numerous senior positions at the State Department, including special assistant to Secretaries William P. Rogers and Henry A. Kissinger, and undersecretary of state for political affairs for President Clinton. He holds the rank of career ambassador, the highest in the Foreign Service. As testimony to his extraordinary service, following his retirement from the Foreign Service, the State Department named the Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Program in his honor.
"Pickering has had an amazing career," said Kenneth Osgood, a professor of U.S. diplomatic history at FAU. "He has been at the center of some of the most momentous events in U.S. foreign policy over the past half-century. He has been involved in the Middle East peace process, arms control negotiations with the Soviets during the Cold War, the first war with Iraq in the 1990s, and much more. Pickering has been a real advocate for pro-active diplomacy to improve America's position in the Middle East, and I'm sure his talk at FAU will generate a lot of interest in the community. His agreement to speak here is a real coup for the university."
Pickering's dramatic career included a critical role during the first Persian Gulf War when, as UN ambassador, he helped lead the Security Council's response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. During the 1980s, as ambassador to El Salvador, he received death threats from right wing Salvadoran politicians and played a minor part in the Iran-Contra affair. Earlier, as ambassador to Israel, Pickering attracted some controversy for U.S. criticism of an Israel policy that expelled Palestinians accused of fomenting uprisings in the occupied territories.
In March 2009, Pickering co-authored a bi-partisan report to President Obama on U.S. Middle East Peacemaking titled "A Last Chance for a Two-State Israel-Palestine Agreement." Nine former government officials with extensive experience in foreign affairs joined Pickering in signing the statement, including former national security advisors Zbigniew Brezinski and Brent Skowcroft, former Senator Chuck Hagel, and former Kennedy speechwriter Theodore Sorenson. The report urges Obama "to engage in prompt, sustained and determined efforts to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict." It also ominously warns that "the next six to 12 months may well represent the last chance for a fair, viable and lasting solution." In May 2009, Pickering was one of four former U.S. ambassadors to the Middle East, including three former envoys to Israel, who signed a letter to President Obama urging an "active U.S. role" in pushing for a two-state solution.
The recipient of 13 honorary doctorate degrees, Pickering speaks French, Spanish, Swahili, Arabic and Hebrew. He serves on the board of directors for the American Iranian Council, an organization devoted to the normalization of relations between Iran and America, and the International Crisis Group, a transnational group of leaders working to prevent and resolve deadly conflicts around the world. Pickering is also chairman of the American Academy of Diplomacy and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Pickering's lecture at FAU is part of the Alan B. Larkin Symposium on the American Presidency, which was made possible by a generous endowment to the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters history department by the family of Alan Larkin, a magazine publisher who died in 2002. Larkin had a true passion for American history, particularly the presidency, and his family hopes the annual series will promote a broader understanding of important issues related to the history of the executive branch of government. Additional support for the symposium comes from the Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council.

Maxwell makes perfect start to Suzuki career
Team Suzuki's new recruit Wayne Maxwell has converted pole position to a comfortable win in the opening 12-lap race of the QBE Australian Superbike Championship at Phillip Island today, supporting the World Superbikes.
The Victorian rider held position off the start and stretched the legs of the Suzuki, building an eight second lead. Last year's Superbike runner-up eventually finished 4.796s clear of Chas Hern (Suzuki) and Linden Magee (BMW), who held out a fast-finishing Ben Henry (Suzuki).
Maxwell was pleased with his opening race success.
"We couldn't ask for much more today, a flag to flag win is a good way to start things off," said Maxwell.
"I got a good start and the bike was very consistent. There are a few things we are not quite happy with but we'll stick to our plan of trying as many different settings as we can over the weekend to collect as much data as possible.
"We're keeping focused on the main goal which is being ready for the first point-scoring round of the championship in Tasmania."
Matt Walters (Kawasaki) won the Honda Australian Prostock class, while in the Motul Australian Supersport race, polesitter Aaron Morris beat Chris Quinn by a mere 0.010s.
The Superbike/Prostock and Supersport fields will tomorrow contest the final races on their weekend schedule, 12 and 10 laps respectively.

I like them. They're cool looking and have great accuracy, and they're extremely easy to take apart. Everyone says they have heavy recoil - mine must not be working right then because I don't agree at all. I think it hardly kicks more than an SKS. There is a great concussive force created by the rifle but the muzzle break dissipates most of it. The actual felt recoil is really not that bad.
The downside is the lack of a bolt hold open, and a charging handle that is located far forward and is rather heavy to operate. They also supposedly fling brass a great distance and mangle the cases but I have an ejection port buffer on mine so that doesn't happen.
The H&K model is overpriced. The PTR91 is cheaper and supposedly works just as well if not better. Mine is made by Hellenic Arms in Greece and is an HK in all but name. You MAY be able to find one of these (imported by Springfield and badged as SAR-3/8) but they are rare. These are slightly cheaper than the real German-made HK version but nowhere near as much of a difference as the PTR91 which is less than half the price. Newer Springfield SAR-8's are made of cast aluminum and are said to be very low quality-steer clear. At the bottom of the barrel is the CETME which I have only heard bad things about.
November 19, 2008, 05:54 AM
They are good reliable rifles.
There are plenty of mags out there for them, collapsable stocks, and scope mounts/scopes.
Parts are available, both original and aftermarket. The manufacturer in Fla currently making PTR91's; the parts are interchangable.
Good accuracy, the bolt for me was not an issue, just a slap and your ready to go. Recoil typical for a 308. Very simple to disassemble, pins for the most part will separate it into "groups". Two stage triggers and set triggers can be had if you look hard enough.
There was one at the gun show Saturday, it was marked down to 3600.00 from 4???.00. I did not look at it, it may have been a SACO import. These command a bit more money. HK also imported through their location in the states.
They haven't been imported since the first AWB in the 80's.
If it is an original HK and not a current mfr, it would be a good buy from 1000.00 to 1500.00 beyond that it's up to you and your wallet. I have seen the high avg around 1800.00 to 2200.00. (the one mentioned above, I think it's the same one I've been seeing for maybe 4-5 years at that price)
The PTR91 is the same rifle for less money, depends on whether you are collecting, shooting, or defending.
November 19, 2008, 07:08 AM
+1 to what the other guys said.
I have the PTR copy, and am quite pleased with it. It is my favorite rifle these days, and the one which gets the most range time. Just a joy to shoot.
PTR91 website (http://ptr91.com/products_ptr.html). For some the ergonomics are challenging, but a couple of worthwhile modifications such as a trigger job and a paddle mag release install by Bill Springfield, and somewhere an angel gets its wings, and all is well in the world.
If you get one, keep your eyes peeled for a good deal on a 22 long rifle conversion kit. What a lot of fun that is.
November 19, 2008, 11:20 AM
The downside is the lack of a bolt hold open, . . . in your opinion.
The lack of a bolt hold open certainly hasn't bothered the 50+ countries that have used or currently use them.
November 19, 2008, 03:55 PM
I have an original HK91 that I bought new around 1979 or 1980.
It is hard on brass. Flings them about 60' and always dents the cases badly. I only shoot surplus ammo in mine and leave the brass where it falls.
Very loud.
November 19, 2008, 08:51 PM
the only thing ive never seen mention about the 91 & its clones is that the bolt & chamber are black after shooting it,ive had one(91) since 1983, & its the only thing i dont like.thats why the cases have the black striated marks on them,too....
November 19, 2008, 08:52 PM
I have an original H&K 91 and to add to what the others say it is an accurate firearm, I did have the trigger worked on by Williams, one of his set trigger modification. The thing I like best about it is how easy it goes from a scoped & bi-pod long rang rifle to a trimmed down close range rifle and every thing in between.
Mine throws brass about twenty feet and other than the chamber fluting marks on the brass it is fine to reload.
Prices vary with condition and the amount of accessories that may come with it
November 19, 2008, 09:46 PM
There's also a .22 conversion kit available for it

I think it is one of the most evil looking rifles ever. Even more evil looking than the AR. If Darth Vader had a rifle it would be the G3/91. Its modularity is a great asset, as is (in my opinion) the fact that it is free from the rail-mania of the "tacticool" ARs. In my mind, the fewer rails, the better. I am a fan of a simplified and streamlined design of which the G3 is definitely an example. It is extremely easy to take apart - maybe the easiest semi-auto ever, because of the lack of a gas system.
November 19, 2008, 11:16 PM
$3600 is way too rich for an HK91 now, I am a bettin' that rifle didn't sell and the seller was hoping it wouldn't.
With PTR rifles floating around in sufficient numbers, an original HK91 will bring $1900 to $2300 in my area depending on condition and accessories.
German scopes and bipods added in will bring $500-$700 additional.
November 19, 2008, 11:59 PM
I bought one back in the late 70's.
Insanely accurate but I just didn't care for the feel, recoil, noise, etc.
It was 100% reliable and with a buffer on it it didn't hurt the brass. Again, just didn't like it much. I sold it.
A little tale about the accuracy - and I do not BS in the least.
I put an HK machine gun adjustable iris aperture sight on it to replace the stock sight. I took it out to the nearby range to try it out at 100 yards.
I fired a 3 round group which I checked with a spotting scope. The first shot hit about where I expected it to on the large orange circle. The second shot apparently missed entirely and the third shot almost touched the first one.
I went and got the target for a closer look. Imagine my amazement when I discovered that the second shot was practically in the exact same hole as the first one - so much so that it wasn't possible to discern through a spotting scope.
The 3 round group with with that sight was 3/8" measured.
Insanely accurate rifle. I just wish I could have warmed up to it.
November 21, 2008, 12:04 PM
What is this adjustable iris sight ?
Sounds very interesting to me.....:uhoh:
Oh man, I was afraid someone was going to ask a question like that.
Mind you, it was somewhat over 20 years ago that I made this setup and the details are a bit fuzzy. I mean, that was about half my life ago.... ;)
I don't remember where I got it (special ordered through a local gunshop, I think, maybe the Shotgun News) but HK-91s were a kind of hot item back then and actually affordable. I bought lots of goodies - the overpriced, bulky scope mount, the overpriced, bulky bipod, the ejection port anti-mangling brass buffer, and various other overpriced stuff for it. As I recall, the sight was around a hundred bucks - but what wasn't for the HK-91?
It was disc-shaped and about the size of something between a nickel and a quarter, I think. Picture a small doughnut with an adjustable iris in the center. It had a small lever on the top or side that controlled the iris aperture. You just moved it from one side to the other to adjust it. You could open it quite wide or close it down to completely blocked or anywhere in between. Infinitely adjustable with no clicks or anything throughout its range of movement.
For quick target acquisition it opened up pretty wide and for long distance precision you could set it down to a very fine pinpoint. Quick to operate and very rugged. A little on the large side but not so much as to be of any consequence.
I believe it was made for HK's .308 machine guns and meant to be used when fired from a bipod. It would have excelled in that capacity, I think.
Now I'm curious again about exactly what it was I owned and am going to do some research. Whatever (if?) I come up with, I'll post it here in case anybody else is interested.
I personally felt it was a vast improvement over the standard HK-91 sight.
November 21, 2008, 08:17 PM
Great battle rifle. As to the price ,for a true H&K -$1600/$2500 is the going price around here. I bought mine brand new for $500 and that included tax !!!! YEAH -- gas was less then 50 cents a gal. , comic books were 15 cents etc.
Put a port buffer in and it helps keep the brass from getting the H&K dent.
The accuracy in mine is VERY good --- with the iron sights , I once took 1st place at a 600 yard combat shoot. Head shots at 200 yards.
The Germans etc. always loaded their mags so the last 3 rds. were tracer --- lets you know it's about empty.
The only thing is they are a bit short in the stock length and the trigger could use some lightning.
November 21, 2008, 09:54 PM
big fan of them .if you want a shooter geta ptr.will need a trigger job.i use a b&t low mount so i can't use a deflecter,ruins the brass oh well.you can buy a modified machine gun cocking arm for 125.00,worth getting especially if your a south paw.kicks more than an ar10 but i like a little punishment:D.matches up to a acog bdc pretty well too.birdsong's black t finish makes it alot easier to clean/maintain.will run even when filthy so don't worry about all the crud that builds up during extended firing sessions.MEEF!i must know what sight you speak of....
November 22, 2008, 12:39 AM
As to the price ,for a true H&K -$1600/$2500 is the going price around here. I bought mine brand new for $500 and that included tax !!!!Yeah, I got mine for $389. That was in 1979, I think. Before they were "discovered".
and the trigger could use some lightning.:what:
Now that's a truly shocking concept! Likely take your trigger finger right off at the hand.
MEEF!i must know what sight you speak of....Believe me, I'm trying to find out. It's bugging me, this memory thing. I even went to the store where I bought it so many years ago and the store owner said, "Yeah, I remember it."
And that was it. He couldn't recall any details other than that. His memory's no damn better than mine. Frustrating. :mad:
I'm trying though. Still searching and researching the Internet like someone possessed. Not having any luck - so far.
November 22, 2008, 01:57 AM
"...might have any opportunity to pick up a HK91..." Who made it?
November 22, 2008, 02:13 AM
might have any opportunity to pick up a HK91..
Just get a PTR 91F. It is an improvement over the original HK 91. And a preban HK goes for large dollars.
I absolutely love my PTR. It never ceases to amaze me when I shoot it. The PTR 91s offered by CDNN Sports all have Thompson Center Match grade barrels. Got mine for $899!
I have learned to acclimate to the ergonomics and the bladed front sight is so easy to acquire my target. Boston's Gun Bible rates it as one of the best rifles ever.
Get the 3-point HK sling, port buffer, and wide body fore end.
And just some spare parts! You'll be set.

Banker: All your money are belong to us
June 28, 2013 - Harry Eagar
After Reaganism crashed the economy, many people claimed that financial markets are self-correcting. Of course, they had also said that before the crash. Alan Greenspan, for instance.
So RtO must suppose that no evidence will ever bring the free marketeers into contact with reality. Further evidence comes from the saga of Jon Corzine. Bloomberg News summarizes the latest revelations:
"The CFTC sued Corzine, 66, yesterday for failing to oversee the company properly while it spiraled toward failure in 2011 as $1.6 billion in customer funds went missing. The CFTC alleged he did nothing about inadequate controls over misuse of customer funds, that he was aware of the firm's extreme shortage of cash and that he didn't ask any questions about where the money was coming from to make transfers he ordered."
Somehow, Corzine mislaid $1,600,000,000.00 of customer money. He says he has no idea where it went. "Search me."
Note that this happened in 2011. It appears the finance capitalists did not learn anything in 2008. Nothing new, anyway.

Some of the Pinoy media never liked Donaire. If you remember Donaire even called out the pinoy media and filipinos for for doubting he could beat Darchinyan. Only after he won the world title that he got the respect from his own community. Donaire loss in the Olympic trials to fellow pinoy Brian Viloria. The match was close, but many pinoys preferred the fighting style of Viloria. Donaire is more a boxer/puncher that uses range than counters with his power shots. There was also beef between them both as Viloria beat Glen Doniare (nonitos kapatid na lalaki).
Donaire has never fought in any pac under cards and there was reported beef between Rachal Donaire and Pacs wife. Dont remember the exact comments. Other than Donaires mom being Pacs teacher at General Santos City they dont have much of a Kuya/Kaibigan relationship. Some in the Pinoy media called out Donaire for his feud with his dad.
Donaire IMHO is not marketed correct. He has been in the states since the age of 9 and he never puts the stars and stripes in his trunks. Many Mexican-American fighters as DLH, Ortiz, and even Bam Bam try to win over both audiences. Donaire likely will never be a big PPV star as he is not marketing himself well. Brian Viloria is marketed as an American fighter with pinoy roots.
I am not sure which Pac fans you are talking about. Many pinoys who are true boxing fans will follow fighters they like. If they dont like Donnie Nietes or John Riel Casimero they likely wont root for them even if they are pinoy.

The prenatal and postnatal changes in the mass and in the capacity of the stomach have been studied in some detail, and the qualitative changes in its musculature are well described. There is, however, almost no information on the quantitative changes in the gastric mucosa in the developmental period, although the applications of such data to gastric physiology in infancy and in childhood are obvious.The present paper is a report of a quantitative study of one phase of this subject, namely, the growth in number of the gastric crypts and glands in later fetal life, infancy, childhood and adolescence. To this have been added data on the number of these structures in maturity, which were collected as a check on the findings for the developmental period. It is hoped to extend these studies later to a consideration of the dimensional changes of the gastric glands, to the
