"Internet Purchases Only"
"Not a Retail Store Stock Item"
This item is viewable at our retail store in LEXINGTON, KY. It may be on display and is
available for immediate purchase and pick-up.
*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description on this page before you place your order.
Born of the gunmaking expertise that brought you the best-selling,
most trusted shotgun of all time – the Model 870™ – the new Model 887™
Nitro Mag is an armor-clad warrior here to carry the torch of our great
pump-gun legacy through the most extreme conditions on earth. The most
durable and reliable shotgun ever built, it has no external surfaces to
rust. Our exclusive ArmorLokt™
construction process seals the receiver and barrel in a vault of
weather-impervious synthetic armor, so you can wipe it down with your
wet dog or a decoy bag at the end of the day. Its overmolded surface is
built to withstand abrasion in the trenches, whether that's barbed wire,
gnarly thorns or the bottom of a Jon boat. And when it's time for
action, our revolutionary new SuperCell™ recoil pad
so effectively reduces rearward force that it makes a 3" mag 12 gauge
feel like a light field load. This is our softest-shooting pump gun
ever. That means enhanced confidence on the first shot and smoother,
faster follow-ups.
Because the Model 887 Nitro Mag's design is inspired by the
strength and dependability of our Model 870, you can count on it to
cycle flawlessly and stand up to abuse like no other. Similar to the
Model 870, its receiver is manufactured from solid steel, and the barrel
is hammer-forged. Our ArmorLokt process packages it all under a
weather-impermeable outer shell. Twin steel action bars ensure smooth,
positive chambering and ejection for the long haul. And the sleek
receiver design, awesome balance and natural pointing characteristics
spell trouble for any bird within reach of its 12-gauge 3 1/2" Super
Magnum capability. The extremely rugged synthetic stock and fore-end are
ergonomically contoured to offer a positive grip and comfortable
handling. Swivel studs are built-in.
The Model 887 Nitro Mag Waterfowl Camo is dressed from butt to
bore in vivid, high-detail Advantage MAX-4 HD™ camouflage. It has a 28"
barrel with a solid rib, and comes with an extended Over Decoys Rem
Choke that's optimized for non-toxic waterfowl loads. Both versions
feature a Hi-Viz™ front sight with interchangeable fiber-optic light
tubes to maximize visibility for the conditions.

Backyard chickens and their homes will be in the spotlight in Cedar Rapids this weekend.
The Gazette says the annual Tour de Coop on Saturday features a-half dozen hen houses to offer ideas to aspiring chicken owners. Organizer Rebecca Mumaw says the tour is garnering interest outside of Cedar Rapids.
The city approved an ordinance in 2010 that allows up to six hens per household. Two years later, about 50 families have permits to keep chickens, and another 200 have taken the educational workshop needed for a permit.
Some examples on this year tour include a combination greenhouse coop and an "artsy" coop that features a solar-powered door and stained glass.

what worst is the people/fans who actually follows those type of garbage media.
I love how the same media who acted as if we were better without Melo months ago are now turning their sights to Melo and Amare not being able to co-exist.
Disregard we we were one of the top offensive teams in the league last yr after the Melo trade and now 7-2 after a coaching change this season with Amare. To create a story they use a early part of the season in which the TEAM as a whole struggled before Woodson.
If your gonna push an unfounded argument to sell a story tell both sides. but then again if they do there is no story lol
If anyone is a hindrance in my opinion to Amare's game its Chandler because he doesn't free up the paint. Amare has always been use to having a stretch the floor big which gave him a free path now he has to adjust his game and learn to play while sharing the paint more.
Even still there is no sign showing that this team when healthy can't work. I just hate how they rush to create a story and omit blatant rebuttals as if there is none.
One sided journalism at its best. They did it to Melo, inferred the same thing with Wade when Miami prospered without him, even Kobe now Amare. None of those teams realistically esepcially LA and Miami are legit threats to win a title without those respective players.
We struggled at times because there wasn't a legit number 2 scoring option with Lin and Amare sidelined. JR is boom or bust to often to be a reliable 2.
Amare's return in my opinion was much needed and him coming off the bench in my opinion is ridiculous like they inferred during halftime on ABC. They and others have talked about having him off the floor as much as possible while Melo is playing. By that logic what sense would it make to then send him out there in crunch time with Melo if they cant co exist to that point? Stat is really better riding the pine late in games? smh

what worst is the people/fans who actually follows those type of garbage media.
Yes Dantonio sucked, Injuries, Chandler clogs the middle but no matter what the reason we still have not seen that........a great article in the post spoke about how Melo still tries to hard to feel Stat the ball instead of just playing his game.....Kudos to Melo for that.........
Zach Randolph if I am not mistaken has been coming off the bench for Memphis.....Still playing as much as anyone and although he does not have career numbers he they are a winning team and he is a big part of it....
Not a crazy idea to have Stat come off the bench.....Melo as the PF has worked so well....and we know when Chandler comes out Stat would a good 5 as he was last year,,,,,,,,,
I have confidence that Woodson will not pull a Dantonio and do what needs to be done to win....If its not working in the game he will make the neccessary changes and not follow the stubborn ways for Dantonio
an entire half of season is rarely, that's a bit of a stretch. If in your opinion there isnt enough to say they can co exist then theres isn't enough to say other wise which doesn't refute my point towards the media and their constant premature reports, it only supports it.
like I said there was no complaints with this offense last season as we were among the best in the league even after the trade went down. All everyone talked about was our defense.
those same people are not only saying he should be on the bench but a large part of it is because they were arguing its impossible for them to co exist entirely and were better off without him.
its ridiculous, those that want him on the bench really think were better off without him entirely and have said so but for now are stuck with him and have to do something. that is crazy and the point of the thread
there is little to no comparison between his situation and Randolphs. Zach missed a large part of the year and admittedly returned with of course conditioning issues and was somewhat out of shape according to reports. Zach has never been the most fit athlete. He is also playing with their franchise player Gay who missed pretty much the yr last yr while Zach the guy on the bench, dominated, not hindered his team. Everyone before this yr said Gay would ruin chemistry after they made a great run last yr and should be traded or benched and would mess things up. Now looked what happened? lol more examples of the media throwing things out their ass
Gay is back at the forefront and who knows what would've happened if Zach had been healthy all yr but they were both anticipating on starting together. Neither player has been able to really start together due to injuries
He like you said doesn't start ala how my Spurs also use to use Ginobli but plays starter minutes. that was to bolster a team that had absolutely no fire power off the bench which isn't the case for us. Ginobli was still one of our key go to guys and played all the crucial minutes.
So you put him on the bench then let him play in the crucial 4th quarter but don't think they can co exist? You don't trust a guy to start a game but want him out there closing with a guy you claim he cant play with????
Randolph as you admit is a BIG part of their success as he was last year. Is that possible for a player to do who doesn't fit in or co exist with his teammates? especially Gay who he has played well with late in games, when it counts? I don't think so. Thats what their saying about Stat
And him playing the Randolph role is your assertion not the medias. They for the most part want him with that 2nd unit and NOT on the floor with Melo. Its to avoid them playing together so yall have 2 entirely different points. So even if you don't agree with me you
don't agree with them either lol.
We struggled in more then a few games looking for a 2nd option to alleviate pressure off of Melo. Amare more then fits that bill
Last edited by goldenchild1688; Apr 22, 2012 at 19:05.
We have the entire off-season and a new coach ( meaning not Dantonio ) who I am sure will find a way to make Melo/Stat gel......
My issue is that here we are at the end of the season.....Stat just like Randolph needs to get back into playing shape.....His biggest weakness has been defense and our strength since he has been out has our defensive game....I like the energy of Davis, Shump, Fields, Melo and Chandler.....
There were many times today that Stat clearly got beat.....I just hope that Woodson does not go Dantonio on us and try to hard to accomplish something that does not need to be rushed....
The media will always destroy the Knicks and the Fanbase has been dealt so may harsh years that makes it tough to be optimistic or even nuetral,,,
Very small sample size.
my post is simply them saying Amare needs to be moved or bench because it wont work with them on the floor at all together
Im saying nothing has shown that it cant and I believe it will.
sounds like for the most part we agree it can work unless you think Amare shouldn't be out there at all with Melo which they said and then needs to be moved this summer which is what they are saying because they can't co exist. I'm not getting that from your post though
We've looked amazing. I love it. I LOVE CARMELO ANTHONY!
I love the Knicks, what can I say. You rep orange and blue, I'll die for you.

Legislator Gene Benson said he has received 300 emails opposing the New York Secure Ammunitions and Firearms Enforcement Act (NY SAFE), which puts limits on the sale of assault weapons and the size of magazine clips. Legislator Kathy LaBuda said she received about 200 emails and only one was in favor of the law.
The discussion came after Benson read a draft resolution calling for a repeal of the law at a meeting at the government center on March 7.
Sheriff Mike Schiff said the people who are complaining about this law are usually the silent majority, who normally don't complain much.
Only one person who spoke supported the law or at least parts of it. Resident Tom Manza said that while parts of the law are bad and it was enacted out of the view of the public, there were some good things in the law and it was his opinion that the average person in Sullivan County would not like to see it torn up. Rather than a resolution to repeal the act, he asked the legislature to pass a resolution calling for amendments to it.
Schiff said that there were some things that were good in the bill but there were also bad things in it that got pushed through. His opinion is that the law should be repealed, and then the process should start over with open deliberation and debate, "and make a positive law that will do some good for New York."
The draft resolution also touched on the fact that the law was passed without public input. It said, "The members of the Sullivan County Legislature wish to express their concern that any legislation which addresses the ownership of guns and the sale of ammunition should be conducted only after an open debate in which the public is allowed to participate and express their point of view."
Other aspects of the law that were discussed were measures giving mental health workers more ability to report dangerous individuals that might misuse a gun. Joe Tedora, director of community services, said New York State Conference of Local Mental Hygiene Directors put out a position paper on the law basically saying that "we're no safer today than before this act occurred." He said he already has the authority to have police seize the weapons of someone who he feels is a danger to himself or others.
The legislature is expected to vote on the resolution on March 14.
In Sullivan County, speakers who addressed the issue of NY SAFE at public meetings have overwhelmingly opposed the NY SAFE law because, in their view, it tramples on resident's Second Amendment rights. Statewide, however, there is a very different picture.
According to a poll by the Wall St. Journal, NBC and Marist College, about 60% of New Yorkers express the opposite view; 41% say the law is "about right" and 19% say the law "does not go far enough" in protecting the public against gun violence. On the other side of the issue, 30% say the law went too far.
The poll was conducted from February 26 through the 28 and has a margin of error of 3.4%.

Posted on 10/02/2012 3:37:06 PM PDT by Morgana
Because there is not enough social unrest in the Middle East, I agree it is the perfect time for the so-called abortion ship to stir the waters even more.
Women on Waves has announced it will anchor this week in a Muslim country for the first time ever: Morocco, a country where 98.7% of the population identify as Muslims, and where the Islamic Justice and Development Party came to power in November 2011.
Women on Waves specializes in committing offshore abortions in countries where abortion is illegal.
Islam is a bit all over the map on abortion, but by and large the religion forbids it. In Morocco abortion is allowed for life or physical/mental health of the mother.
Women on Waves has decided to test the waters at an interesting time, right after Moroccan Islamists joined those in several other Muslim countries to protest the U.S. This CNBC photo, taken September 14, shows them burning an American flag outside a Moroccan mosque
Were this a Christian missionary ship, our State Department and liberals would be demanding that it reverse course.
But since the goal of Women on Waves is to kill Moroccan children, our government will be fine with it. Who knows, we may send a war ship to protect it.
Women on Waves is a Dutch organization. Whether Moroccans will view it as an intrusion of Western influence into their culture remains to be seen. Women on Waves will release the place, date, and time of the ships arrival tomorrow.
I hope they sink it with an exocet missile
Who to root for?
Pass the popcorn. I just don't know who to root for.
In this corner, uber-angry, Jew hating, infidel murdering Islamists. And in the other corner, baby killing abortionists. Ding Ding Ding
Muslim are kinda funny of abortions.
They are ALL FOR abortion for the infidels.
They are very pro-life for their own.
Decisions, decisions, who to root for.
If I choose not to decide, I still have made a choice.
"Pass the popcorn. I just don't know who to root for.
In this corner, uber-angry, Jew hating, infidel murdering Islamists. And in the other corner, baby killing abortionists. Ding Ding Ding"
Look at it this way.
It's not like the mooslimbs were not gonna kill their own kids by strapping bombs to them, so Planned Parenthood helps them kill the kid minus the bomb.
Surprisingly I've never heard the Muslim take on abortion.
They do it it is just not talked about.
Well, in international law, unless they forbid the ship from entering their waters, it may legally do so. If it enters after being refused, it has committed and act of piracy.
But I estimate that they will stay in international waters.
territorial sea: 12 nm
contiguous zone: 24 nm
Sounds like a match made in heaven to me
Morocco is pretty pro-western and more secular than the typical Muslim country. I was there in 2008, in Tangier, and the locals explained that Morocco's constitution mandates tolerance for all monotheistic religions. There were Catholic churches within sight of mosques across the street from synagogues. It was pretty amazing.
Of course, they do have their own radical Islamist elements and there have been a couple of bombings in Morocco. And Morocco has not been completely immune from the "Arab spring" violence, but it's very different from Egypt or Libya.
I would expect that the abortion ship will anchor off the harbor of Tangier, since it is a very international (i.e. "more tolerant") city and is just across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain if they have to make a run for it.
All of that said, I'm still rooting for the Exocet missile.
where's that picture from. Is that real?
What this bunch does is sail around to countries that don't have abortion or where it is illegal, picks the women up at the dock then sails out to "neutral waters" to preform the abortions. That way no laws are broken in that country.
Someone posted it on Facebook, I didn't check its provenance, I really didn't want to look at it
Someone's water could break.
What is the story behind that picture? That is horrifying, heart breaking.
Isn't this sorta like those folks who climb into tiger's dens at the zoo because they want to identify with the animal?
Totally insensitive to the animal's nature.
The imams will send them in from neighboring countries and demand the ones there riot.
The death ship. What, do they throw the babies overboard after they brutally murder them?
I found it on Facebook, I didn't even want to look at it much less figure out where it came from
I don't know who to root for either, the only words I can think of is "the sins of the fathers visited upon their children a thousand times." Which is worse, abortion or islam? One is shameful while the other is heinous.
Wouldn't the law be that they purposely left their country to participate in an abortion?
Certainly sad as well as horrifying. I wondered if it was one of those weird cultural things that they do and the oddly the child survives. Don't see how made me say a quick short pray.
Geez! This is a tough one. On the one hand, aborting muzzies spares the world that many more jihadists. On the other, it is possible for a muzzie to see the error of his or her 12th Century ways and escape the moon cult.
I have to go with the pro-life option, as remote and unlikely as it is.
First, there is the ship that is the subject of this thread, Women on Waves, which sees as its purpose the bringing of death to babies in nations which don't offer abortion services within its borders.
The second is called The Mercy Ships which sees its calling as bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilizing people and resources worldwide, and serving all people without regard for race, gender, or religion. In doing this the staff who serve on these ships state they are following, the 2000-year-old model of Jesus, bringing hope and healing to the world's forgotten poor.
Which of the two better exemplifies compassion and the best qualities of the human spirit?

This foot and deadly sickle claw once belonged to Utahraptor, cousin to Velociraptor of Jurassic Park fame. Scientists believe Utahraptors used this hooked claw to slice open prey, causing death or serious injury. In the 1990's, several bones from this ferocious predator were discovered near Arches National Park about the time the first Jurassic Park hit movie theaters.
June 15, 2015 – For more than 30 million years after dinosaurs first appeared, they remained inexplicably rare near the equator, where only a few small-bodied meat-eating dinosaurs eked out a living. The age-long absence of big plant-eaters at low latitudes is one of the great, unanswered questions about the rise of the dinosaurs.

Blackstone to move top energy exec to London
One of Blackstone Group's senior dealmakers in New York is relocating to London to lead the global alternative asset manager's energy investments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as the firm attempts to raise its second energy fund.
Mustafa Siddiqui, a managing director at Blackstone Energy Partners, will take on a newly created role as head of BEP's energy activity in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Siddiqui will report to David Foley, BEP's chief executive based in New York, one person said. Siddiqui joined Blackstone in 2009 and has been involved in several Blackstone energy investments, including Royal Resources and Alta Energy.
The move comes as BEP attempts to raise its second energy-focused fund. At an investor day earlier this month, Blackstone's global head of private equity Joseph Baratta said the fund was "substantially larger than" a $2.5 billion predecessor.
BEP has invested over $6.6 billion of equity in 18 deals in sectors such as oil and gas, renewables, natural resources and power generation, using Blackstone's energy fund and global private equity fund.
Blackstone Capital Partners VI, Blackstone's $16 billion flagship buyout fund, invests alongside BEP in energy and natural resources transactions.
In May BEP set up Global Water Development Partners, a venture that aims to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build facilities that will convert salt water into fresh water and treat wastewater in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Blackstone is also in talks with headhunters to find investment professionals to target power developments in Africa and other emerging markets.

Let me rag on the name for a minute. "Emily & the Complexes" is an unnecessarily clumsy string of syllables, especially considering none of the members is named Emily or even has a uterus. They don't cross-dress either. After Girls and Women and Margot & the Nuclear So and So's — all fine bands, mind you — I think we've all had our fill of gender-oriented wink-wink nod-nod.
The music, on the other hand, is OK. In categories other than band-naming, recent Ohio University export Tyler Verhagen and his associates don't subject themselves to conceptual clutter. They play straightforward guitar pop steeped in gravelly Midwest alt-country lineage and irreparably marked by the dying days of alternative radio.
Put it this way: If you made a mix featuring Uncle Tupelo's "The Long Cut," The Verve Pipe's "The Freshmen," the "Party of Five" theme song and Pixies' "Gouge Away," you could tack Emily & the Complexes on there and not miss a beat.
Friday at Skully's, they brought their no-frills live show to the highly frilled confines of Skully's. A few times they came close to making me a believer, but not yet.
Verhagen began with a solo ballad that I hoped would eventually explode into a grand finale because I've always loved that trick. But it was not to be; the tears-in-your-beers jangle simply concluded, and only then did they launch into loudness.
From there it all blurs together. Verhagen's vocal melodies were simple but satisfying, and when the musical and emotional bombast demanded it, he pulled off a passable throat-shred. The guitars and bass blurred into dense textures that suited this music well. Titles like "Styrofoam Plate Blues" and "I Don't Want To Brush My Teeth" nodded to the post-collegiate squalor that lingers along with that nagging question, "What next?"
The members of Emily & the Complexes are at that stage of their adult life, and they seem to be at that point in their creative timeline, too. They know how to man their instruments and function as a unit. Now they've just got to step up their songwriting game. Nothing Friday grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me. It was like eating vanilla ice cream with no toppings — sweet, but not appetizing enough to justify the commitment.

Lubbers delivers 'common sense' commencement address
Posted on December 14, 2010
President Emeritus Arend D. Lubbers delivered the commencement address December 11 and gave graduates "common sense" advice.
The complete text of his speech, "Common Sense 2010," is below; watch the speech by clicking on the video at right.
Common Sense 2010:
"Mr. President, it is a privilege in this 50th anniversary year to address the graduates and those gathered around them. You are obligated to look toward the next 50, but in celebrating the past it is appropriate for you to display some relics from the past, so here I am.
"This summer our son-in-law became an American citizen. He put on his new suit and went to a Chicago court to take his oath. The judge was eloquent and he found himself more emotionally moved than he expected. Our family converged on our house a week later to honor him. Before dinner we sat down together to read from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Listen to these words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed."
"We closed with the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Some of us became teary-eyed hearing again the declaration of our rights and the protection of them.
"When I reflected after the strong emotions hearing these words had on all of us, as we welcomed our family member into the great family of American citizens, I thought to myself the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution make common sense. By the late 18th century the intellectual ferment of the Enlightenment and the political and religious experiences on the European continent and in Great Britain had come together in the minds of people who lived along the eastern seaboard of North America. In a little over two decades they fought for and forged a new covenant that provided all individuals with more liberty, freedom and opportunity than had ever been experienced. It shook the world and it all made sense.
"In 1776 an English immigrant journalist, Thomas Paine in Philadelphia, published a pamphlet, "Common Sense," that stirred the colonists. It made a compelling case for America against the tyrannies of Britain. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, a former friend, thought him a rabble-rouser, but I think he put some fire in Thomas Jefferson's belly. Whatever the circumstances then, the circumstances now made me think the turmoil in our politics and foreign policy now require a dose of common sense; just as the times at our nation's birth required it. Hence the title of these remarks, and a compliment to Thomas Paine, whose title I have plagiarized.
"The application of common sense begins at the level of the individual. A large number of people must practice it if it is to be made manifest in society and the body politic. Sometimes in our national life when we didn't know where to turn, or when we were polarized to the point of near destruction, or in economic peril and threatened from without, a beleaguered hero made the right decisions and led us to sensible outcomes. George Washington at the beginning, Abraham Lincoln when we nearly destroyed what we had, and Franklin Roosevelt when democracy itself was threatened. Contemplating these things in depth, I searched for my anchors of common sense, and found them in the words of three people whose lives I have studied all my adult life.
"On November 11, 1947, Winston Churchill said in the House of Commons, "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." He tells me democracy doesn't always produce good results, he implies that liberty isn't forever unless we discipline ourselves to protect it. He implies keeping it may require sacrifice. The great hall of Parliament where these words were uttered stands as a symbol of the essential ingredients of democracy; the majority prevails, the minority has protected rights, and compromise is of ultimate necessity to making it work. It all makes sense to me, but the way we practice it sometimes grinds me.
"Stephen Colbert, the humorist, has given us a new word born out of the sound bite ads of the recent campaign. It is truthiness. Truthiness describes an ad that takes a true fact, presents it out of context, and the result is an untruth; commonly called a lie. What am I to do about the gutter politics? First, is to understand that in other forms truthiness has been practiced long before the word was coined. Second, is to stay engaged in politics. Third, don't stoop to gutter politics myself. Fourth, keep myself well informed about issues – after all, we are entering an uncharted time of global transformation, the effects of which will reach every home in America. So my voice and my vote should reflect information, thought and reason.
"Around 2,000 years ago Jesus said, "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you." If you're nasty, you get nasty back. If you condemn you get condemnation. He does not say don't make judgments, but He is issuing a warning. If you get into mudslinging and give those who oppose you no quarter, you may find you are contributing to an unredeemable human situation. He does not say don't fight for what you believe, but He says how you fight may be as important to right living as your objective.
"He is implying that we really do not have the right to judge others because our human condition does not include the ability to do so. We are in our own skin; we cannot completely get into another's. Listening to some of the recent political campaign rhetoric you might think final pronouncements on people are ours to make. I yearn for a time when views are put forth in a reasonable manner and voters make their decisions without the confusion created by truthiness and condemnation. The misinterpretation and noise emanating from candidates often reflects the confusion among the electorate. When we have not understood what is happening, and it is difficult to do so in a world that is a period of accelerated change, we are likely to vote in a state of aroused emotions or not at all. But I know, too, that many have made their judgments as best they can and voted their convictions. The majority rules but what if there is not a clear majority? How does the body politic function? Compromise? That requires giving up some judging.
"In my public and personal life I have tried to incorporate the judging concept Jesus spoke to his followers on the mount. It is hard, very hard. But it makes sense to me. Abraham Lincoln had just been re-elected; the bitter war with its hatred and deaths was drawing to a close. No president before or since has been demonized more than he, and what did he say at this awesome and terrible time from the inaugural platform of the new capital? "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds … to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and all nations." Despite all the ensuing injustices, especially to African Americans, the post-war generations captured enough of Lincoln's spirit to bind up wounds and let those who had fallen away come back into the light of liberty as equals as the Declaration defined and the Constitution protected.
"I have friends who say, "I hate Obama." I have friends who said, "I hate Bush." I feel uncomfortable when I hear such expressions. I have no problem with disagreeing with the policies and decisions of Obama and Bush. Our first generation of Americans gave us that opportunity and right. But hatred carries malice, and malice creates hardness, and hardness diminishes our capacity to make democracy function in the best interests of all. This beleaguered president about to be assassinated, through the trials of his personal life and his presidency, was given spiritual insight that guided us then and should guide us now. It makes common sense.
"The traditional commencement address is an obstacle on the way to the business of the day. Since most could easily forgo it, and graduates are not seeking advice at this event, I used my preparation time to reflect on where I am as a citizen at this stage of my life, and how my public and personal beliefs coincide. The only advice I will give is that you do the same periodically.
"In September, the Grand Rapids Symphony opened its concert season with a stirring rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." I felt it from the "top of my head to the tip of my toes." I am a patriotic guy. I am moved when it is played at every ballgame I attend. I don't think there is an ounce of chauvinism in my patriotism. My patriotism flows from gratitude: gratitude that I was born at a time after all the thinkers and common citizens of several places had awakened the spirit of liberty and defined democracy where liberty flourishes. I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and so do you. Let's keep it that way."

Site design update, file backgrounds and hot file croppingposted by Dark0ne Site NewsIf you're reading this from a Nexus site then you're reading it from our updated design. Before I go into explaining a few of the changes just a quick note that we've changed our imagemap, so if some images look out of place or things look like they're in the wrong place you might want to refresh your browser cache for the site. Easiest way to do this is to press CTRL+F5 (a hard refresh). If that doesn't fix it then try again. And again. If it's still broken after that it's either us, or not "broken" and you just think it looks wrong.
As promised I've made some changes to the layout that aren't too different from the original. So, far from being an overhaul, it's more an update to the original design. Right now we've made changes to the headers of all the Nexus sites and to the file page layout. We've got a few more page layout changes in the works, and next will be the category/search result page, but right now lets run through the current changes.
As mentioned the header has changed. The search, messages, notifications and account options are all accessible from the top bar now and we've removed the need for the originally (relatively garish) coloured bar, thus saving a few pixels in height in the process. Clicking the search button will produce a bubble box for you to do a quick search, and we've also made it more obvious that we have an advanced search as well. One thing that really surprises me from doing the internet rounds is that lots of people still don't know we have an advanced search feature to really drill-down into what you're looking for.
We've changed our logo area a bit; each site is labelled as Nexus Mods and the name of the game is listed below it. This is going to fit in to our future plans a bit more, so this change is more a change for the future rather than a necessary change right now. The normal navigation is still in-tact from the original design, no changes there, so you shouldn't get lost.
The file page changes are slightly more substantial.
Probably the most notable change we've made is adding a file header background image that mod authors can create themselves through the site interface, to bring some more colour and variance from other mod pages out there. Something that makes your page look more unique from others. As is our way, creating a file header for your pages is completely optional, so if you don't like them on your file pages you don't need to do anything, you can stick with the default look (or you can play around with the system, then delete it if you don't like the look).
To create a file header you need to go to your file images and click the background image icon underneath the image you'd like to use. You'll be taken to a page where you can crop the image you've selected (much like you might crop your profile image on a social networking site like Facebook) and see how it'll look on your page before you decide on whether you want to use it or not.
In the same vein we've also produced a similar tool that allows you to create your own hot file images for the site to use. Up until now the site has automatically generated these images and it's been a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it produces a great hot files image, other times it produces an image of..the sky...or the sea...or a head...and it's not so great. Now it's all on you. If you think this feature is redundant for you because all your files were released a while ago and are no longer eligible for the hot files system then think again. We're bringing in a "Feature file" system for the new category page. This system will show a random file from the category you're viewing that changes every 10 minutes. Every file with a hot file image is eligible for the Featured File system, and we'll rotate properly so every file gets equal time and exposure. We'll also let you know how many times your file has been featured on a category, just for your own peace of mind. So creating a hot file image on your old files is highly recommended if you'd like some added exposure in the not too distant future.
We've moved the buttons to download the file, endorse it, vote for it and donate to the author to the top right in prominent green colours. We've also added a big "Track" button as well, as lots of people didn't know we had a file tracking system. Clicking the vote, endorse and track buttons will make them turn orange (if it was successful), so you know when your vote, endorsement or track action has worked. They'll remain orange when you revisit file pages, so you know at an easy glance whether you've already endorsed or tracked a file or not.
We've added some text below the "Action" buttons which should make it more obvious what each one does without being a mystery meat navigation that you can't intuitively work out without hovering over the tiny icons. Similarly we've increased the size of the file tabs themselves and added a description at the top of each tab, once again to make it more obvious what each tab is for.
And that's it!
If you think something isn't looking right or working properly then feel free to let me know. I've tested the site in the latest versions of IE, Fire Fox and Chrome, but can't account for every variation.

Laurier leads in training future teachers in suicide alertness
Jan 14/13| For Immediate Release
Tana Nash, Executive Director
Dr. Colleen Willard-Holt, Dean, Faculty of Education
WATERLOO The Waterloo Region Suicide Prevention Council and Wilfrid Laurier University are breaking new ground by providing suicide-alertness training for student teachers.
All 150 students enrolled in Lauriers Waterloo-based Faculty of Education will participate in a three-and-a-half-hour suicide-alertness workshop on Jan. 18.
Wilfrid Laurier University is leading by example and taking action, said Tana Nash, executive director of the Waterloo Region Suicide Prevention Council. It is our hope that other Faculty of Education programs will take notice and follow suit.
Suicide-prevention training for teachers is currently not mandatory in Ontario despite the number of youth suicides, attempts, and suicidal ideation that take place in the school setting. Between seven and 10 young people aged 10 to 29 took their own lives each year in Waterloo Region during the period 2000-2007. More alarming, suicidal ideation and attempted suicide are reported more frequently for youth ages 15-19 than any other population. Youth continue to be an important target group for suicide-prevention strategies.
"It is critically important for teachers to know the signs of severe distress that could possibly lead to suicide attempts in children and youth, said Colleen Willard-Holt, dean of Lauriers Faculty of Education. This is one of very few actual life-and-death situations that teachers can face. It is incumbent upon us as teacher educators to do all we can to prepare aspiring teachers with concrete steps that might conceivably save a life."
During the Laurier training, five workshops of 30 students each will be facilitated by members of the Suicide Intervention community training team involving trainers from a variety of organizations led by the Canadian Mental Health Associations Grand River Branch. The future teachers will learn how to identify people with thoughts of suicide and how to connect them to suicide-intervention resources. The workshops have graciously been funded by the Karim the Dream Basketball Tournament, an awareness and fundraising event hosted by friends and family in honour of their dear friend Karim who died by suicide.
It is our hope that this training can be built into the curriculum in the future so that we do not need to rely on fundraising efforts, Nash said. But for now, it is a huge step in the right direction. By having more individuals in our community that are ready and willing to become suicide-prevention helpers, we are building a suicide-safer community that preserves, protects and promotes life.
Suicide-alertness training is also available for workplaces, community groups or can be taken as an individual. For more information, contact email@example.com or visit www.cmhagrb.on.ca.

You can set BPM instantly by tapping the button with your finger. Press the button twice to input the tempo as desired.
Button operation allows you to freely select specific frequency from the 3 bands (HI, MID, LOW) and produce effects. You can combine the bands as you like - for example, producing effects only in the MID (picture), or, conversely, selecting the LOW and HI for effects with the original sounds in the MID.
"Digital Jog Break" is equipped for producing new digital sounds on the spot. A turn of the JOG DIAL controls 5 effects, JET, ZIP, WAH, RING MODULATION, and FUZZ. The DEPTH knob can be used to freely set the strength and depth of effects as well as the balance of the original sounds and effect sounds.

Philip's friend has sent him an address for a rooming house
in Paris, but he is writing from Italy, and it looks as though he uses an Italian word, perhaps meaning "landlady".
I could not find it in an online Italian-English dictionary.
"But Philip ceased to think of her a moment after he had settled down in his carriage. He thought only of the future. He had written to Mrs. Otter, the massiere to whom Hayward had given him an introduction, and had in his pocket an invitation to tea on the following day.

Philip was studying in Paris. Massiere is the feminine form of massier. In olden times, a massier was a knight who carried a mace (masse in French). In an artist's studio, a massier (or massiere) is generally a senior student who takes care of finances or other administrative matters.

Hi Don, welcome aBoard.
Don't worry if you don't get responses to your post. You've posted in the lower part of the Board (for old weekly themes) and most people don't pop in here at all.
Take a peep in the forums at the top. There's a lot of interesting threads to participate in, and everybody will be happy to hear a new voice in the discussions.

I should think the guy with the mace would be very good at taking care of the money - or at least at taking the money.

Every time we make vegetable stock, we wonder why we ever bother buying it in the store. It's so easy! Chop up some vegetables, cover with water, and simmer. Done. You'll have enough stock to make your soups, casseroles, and pilafs for weeks to come, and all in just a little over an hour.
When making a basic vegetable stock, you want something with a fairly neutral savory flavor. Some recipes recommend adding garlic and other strong spices, but unless we know how we're going to be using the broth, we prefer to add those kinds of seasonings when we're actually making a dish. We also don't add salt to the stock for the same reason.
How To Make Vegetable Stock
What You Need
1 to 2 onions
2 to 3 carrots
3 to 4 celery stalks
4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 small bunch parsley
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
Optional Extras: leeks (especially the green parts), fennel, tomatoes, mushrooms, mushroom stems, parsnips
Sharp knife
Stock pot
Cheesecloth or coffee filters (for straining)
Storage containers
1. Gather Some Vegetables and Herbs: Onions, carrots, and celery give stock a great base flavor, and you can round these out with any of the other vegetables listed above. You can also make stock using any amount of vegetables that you happen to have on-hand, but it's good to have a roughly equal portion of each so the resulting stock will have a balanced flavor.
It's nice to add a few herbs to the stock, but we tend to keep them fairly light. Parsley does really well, especially the stems leftover from picking off the tops. Bay leaf adds a pungent, earthy flavor and thyme gives a nice woody note.
2. Roughly Chop All The Vegetables: Wash any visible dirt off the vegetables and give them a rough chop. You don't even need to peel them first unless you really want to. (Some people even advocate leaving on the onion skins!) Throw all the vegetables in a pot big enough to hold them plus a few extra inches of water.
3. Cover with Water and Simmer: Cover the vegetables with enough water that you can easily stir them in the pot. Less water means that your stock will be more concentrated; more water makes a lighter-flavored stock. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to just under a boil. Once you start to see some bubbling around the edges of the pot and a few wisps of steam on the surface, turn the heat down to medium-low.
4. Cook for One Hour or So: This isn't an exact science, but one hour is generally enough time to infuse the water with vegetable goodness. If you need to take it off the heat a little early or don't get to it until a little later, it will be fine. Give it a stir every now and again to circulate the vegetables.
5. Strain and Store Take the pot off the stove and remove all the vegetables with a slotted spoon. Set your strainer over a big bowl and line it with cheese cloth or coffee filters. Pour the stock through. Divide the stock into storage containers, cool completely, and then freeze.
Additional Notes:
• Roasting and Sweating - Two ways to add more flavor to your broth are to roast the vegetables beforehand or to let them sweat (start to soften and release their liquids) for a few minutes over the heat before adding the water.
• Saving Vegetables for Broth - We keep a big sealable bag in our freezer where we can throw vegetable odds and ends: vegetables that have wilted beyond saving, the green parts from leeks, trimmings from carrots, and so on. Once this bag gets full, we use the contents to make broth.

- Title
- Macro-prospection: thinking about the future using macro- and Big History
- Author(s)
- Voros, Joseph
- Abstract
- Thinking about the future relies on the use of frameworks of understanding upon which to base different modes of futures thinking. These frameworks are often implicit and thereby not usually subject to being critically examined. The development of a 'generic foresight process' framework has allowed the critical selection of distinct and appropriate frameworks of understanding for use in foresight work and futures research matched to context and scope. As part of this work, a generalised framework for 'layered methodology' has also been developed, in which the 'deepest' level of interpretive inquiry is the 'historical' level, in which the scope---in both space and time---could involve just one society, a number of societies or civilizations, or, on the grandest of all scales, might encompass cosmology and Universal evolution. Thus, by using historical and macrohistorical models, theories and perspectives---of increasing scope and time-frame---we may look for insights about potential futures at a very deep level and thereby undertake profoundly 'deep' futures thinking. Perhaps the grandest model currently available for use in this way is the scenario of Cosmic Evolution, which includes the specific case of how that evolution has played out here on Planet Earth, namely, what has come to be known as 'Big History'. This paper will: introduce the elements of the generic foresight process framework; examine a variety of different types of futures thinking; 'locate' the use of macrohistorical models within the broader foresight thinking process; examine some key aspects of the Big History perspective; and use this perspective to conduct 'macro-prospection'; i.e., to think systematically about the future, informed by Big-Historical thinking. From this will emerge a thumbnail sketch of some of the issues we may need to confront at the civilizational, planetary, and even species level as we navigate our way into the future. It is hoped that the activity of generating such a sketch---as well as demonstrating the processes of thinking that lead to it---will help contribute to the successful navigation by humanity into the rapidly emerging and increasingly dangerous future.

Ahh, I actually wanted to buy one like that for my first one. but didn't because of the price. It has a great concept. Let me know if it works good.
I sure will...I'm going to buy a new one on e-bay because it's cheaper. I won't know until over 3 months from now though because I'm due in August, and will introduce him to this in late Sept or early Oct before I have to go back to work. I will let youall know, however; if I can still find this thread, I'll resurrect it; if I can't I'll post a new one.Originally Posted by Mami_Kathy
Thanks! Good luck with what's left of your pregnancy and let us know when you've the baby.
Take care!
I know several mothers who have tried this one, in it's previous form (it was skin-colored, instead of clear). Their infants didn't seem to like it, because the areola and nipple didn't go far enough back into baby's mouth to mimic a mother's breast. They had a very hard time latching on to it.
However, the overall shape did provide some interesting conversation!!

We started with Avent, and tried just about everything else, until finally she would reluctantly take the good old fashioned inexpensive Evenflo. She never really liked bottles but would nurse at lunch (I had a worksite daycare) and night nurse to make up for lost time. She knew even at the tender age of 4 months that breast is best! Good luck and congrats!
I just wonder how hard the Adiri are to clean?
you'll have to let us know when you get them

Planned Parenthood is poised to challenge provisions that would require women seeking an abortion to view an ultrasound of the fetus before the procedure as soon as they become law.
The Republican-controlled Legislature passed a bill last month that would require abortion providers to point out a fetus' features on the ultrasound and have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles to perform the procedure.
Planned Parenthood contends the language is designed to shut down its Appleton clinic. None of the providers there have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles.
Republican Gov. Scott Walker is expected to sign the bill into law but it's unclear when. Planned Parenthood's attorneys said Friday they plan to file a federal lawsuit alleging the provisions are unconstitutional as soon as Walker takes action.

I have a 5 week old and have been pumping for a bit over two weeks now and have found that I consistently get twice as much milk from my left breast than I do from my right one - generally about twice as much from the left.
It doesn't concern me so much about pumping but it makes me wonder if the baby is getting less when she feeds from the right breast (or maybe too much when she feeds with the left).
She's been gaining weight appropriately and has all other signs of being healthy and happy, so perhaps it doesn't matter. If I weren't pumping I wouldn't even know that this was happening, but I just wasn't sure if I can or should do something.
