|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ah, well I can do all plants, something that requires low light, and not hard to do :p
|Hate to break it to you, but both those inspiration tanks--moss trees and carpets--pretty much require high light, c02 and ferts. Not undo-able at a low cost, but it means being creative and doing some scrounging for source materials.
I do want something with a mixtures of Tree and some rocks.
Something like this is nice:
But a mix of Tree, plants and rocks.
Lots of choices, but it all comes down to personal preference. I would search this site for some aquariums that you find appealing and and try to emulate it in with your own touch.
As far as wood, the Manzanita branches always look nice and natural in planted aquariums. Tie some moss or java fern to the branches for a more natural look. Very attractive.
For rocks, you could look into acquiring some Seiryu Stone. These rocks have a unique look to them that resembles miniature mountains. Many people just tastefully place several of these to create a "mountain range" (Iwagumi style aquascape) and then plant a low carpet plant throughout the tank, like this here: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...tainscape.html
For substrate, I guess that depends what you plan to do with your Betta. Some Substrate like ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia will create an ammonia spike which will likely kill your fish. Eco-Complete, is a good planting substrate that does not cause an ammonia spikes. Eco-Complete also has the added benefit of not needing to be rinsed and rinsed like Flourite does. For eco-complete, a single 20 lb bag should work for a 10 gallon aquarium.
Sounds like you want a plan before you proceed, which is good. I would suggest you simply google "Planted Aquarium" and look at all the images for inspiration.
Not sure I answered your questions or provided any useful information, but its really hard to know what appeals to you. We all have different tastes in the aquascape, plants, etc. Want proof, just look at all the different tanks of the members here.
Aquascape! Need help.
Hey everyone! I really want to turn my basic 10 gallon tank into a awesome Aquascape. I am really now, but determined to make a Aquascape tank for my Betta. I wanna make it nice and neat, and I'm planning to add some community fish to the tank.
Please give me a straight answer on what to get rather then "Just get any sand that's good for Aquarium". Not to be rude or anything lol. Just wanna make picking the items easy as possible, since setting up is the hardest part.
I can work with any price (That's reasonable) but I wanna try and keep it under $150ish. But if I have to go a bit more, I will, in order to get the proper stuff for my dream Aquascape tank.
Tank specs:
Top Fin 10 gallon
AquaClear 30(I believe its that one.)
Eheim 75W heater
Aqueon Modular LED Aquarium Light.
Thank you for taking your time to read and help me in creating my dream Aquascape!

The Warriors have added depth to their playmaking resources by signing Penrith's Harry Siejka on a two-year NRL contract through to the end of the 2014 season.
The Bathurst-born 20-year-old made a whirlwind visit to Auckland yesterday to sign his contract. He'll return to begin training with the squad on Monday.
A halfback who can also play at standoff as well as being a goal-kicker, Siejka has the distinction of playing in each of the NYC's first five seasons in existence, having made his debut as a 16-year-old in 2008. An Australian Schoolboys representative in 2007 and 2010, he has four NRL appearances to his credit since his first-grade debut last year.
"I've had a lot to do with [head coach] Matt [Elliott] and couldn't be more excited about having the opportunity to join him at the Vodafone Warriors," said Siejka, who has a Polish heritage.

Re: Objectives = Noob? o.O
I don't find it any fun and I don't think it's right to be rewarded by pressing and holding R1 for like 3 seconds to get quater of the match points along with 50 magic twice I can get over anything else but that, it's just so not earned in anyway and yes I run to get chest a lot of times especially because most of the time I'm not lucky enough to get that god intervetion it actually bothers me more than the glitches.
Re: Objectives = Noob? o.O[ Edited ]
Yes,i gather altars but i dont hunt chest´s anymore,and why would i no need for experience points anymore. So it´s my fault because my team is losing? I think its your chest hunters fault. I do everything in my power to keep enemy DEAD! so that chest and objective runners has a easy task to capture them ,in my team.Im doing a favor in my team because all i do is kill so others have a walk in park to capture points and hunt chests.
Re: Objectives = Noob? o.O
I am an objective player first. Fighter second. My play style will reflect that. I rarely play Match of Champions but love Team Favor and CTF. Call me a noob if you want. I want to win, not pad KDR.
Re: Objectives = Noob? o.O
Re: Objectives = Noob? o.O
Re: Objectives = Noob? o.O[ Edited ]
"They are just butt hurt they scored less point than you." ....... Seriously.... having less points hurts their butts??? I think your butt hurts because your brain seems to be in there. Who gives 2 donkeydicks about POINTS??? It's not like losing in this game is a big deal... If losing team/players got NO xp, then holy crap i would grab those altars with the speed of Hermes!

190-year Easter tradition continues
CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. - The air was cold and the wind was strong on Peters Hollow Road, but the annual egg fight still went on as planned.
This is the 190th running of the event...so a little rain wouldn't stop the festivities.
"Pretty good crowd for the weather," says host Norman Peters.
The rules are simple, hard boil some eggs, then put them up against your opponent's best egg.
Over the years, people have tried everything to get an advantage over the competition.
Jerry Peters has won the event 7 times and told us some insider information. "That makes the shell harder ya know, everybody knows you give chicken's oyster shells. Aint no secret," Peters says.
From oyster shells, to special diets, only one thing is in common...secrets are kept to themselves.
"Well yeah different things they feed their chickens supposed to make a harder shell," says Peters.
The competition brought some out-of-towners to the fight, all the way from Cleveland, Ohio.
"This is the first time in awhile that we've been down but we are definitely going to try to make it a yearly tradition to come down and involve my son," says Melissa Peters.
Peters says you can expect 2 things when going to the Peters Hollow Egg Fight.
One, there are at least 300 dozen eggs are on site, and two, you'll want to come back next year.
He told us this easter tradition is here to stay.
"I don't see anything stopping it because the people, the young kids participate in it now and really enthused about it and I think It'll go on."

One of these teams is not like the others
Plaxico doesn't shoot himself.
We win the 2000 Superbowl
Tiki doesn't retire
I would have to say, letting Bill Belichick walk. Should have done whatever it took to keep him here. Who knows how well he would have done with us, but letting him and the other assitants walk in the early 90's would be my biggest change.
Losing to the ravens
Everyone has the right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.

If the mere mention of a pressure cooker conjures up images of pea soup on your grandmother's stovetop, fear not! Most new models have a host of safety features that make them virtually impossible to burst open. Plus, they're hard to beat if you're looking for a serious weeknight time saver. They can shave hours off of cooking times and let you enjoy hearty, braised and stewed dishes in as little as 30 minutes. They work by building pressure inside the sealed pot, which raises the boiling point from 212°F all the way to 257°F, allowing foods to cook much faster.
To help you find the best pressure cookers, the Kitchen Appliances & Technology department at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) evaluated rangetop and electric pressure cookers.
Among our findings: In addition to the time required to cook, all pressure cookers require time to build up pressure before they begin cooking and drop pressure after cooking is complete. This can add anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour to the time it will take to get dinner on the table. Rangetop pressure cookers come up to pressure within a half hour, some in as little as 15 minutes. All five electric pressure cookers in our test took over half an hour to reach full pressure. It can take up to 25 minutes for pressure to drop naturally in a stovetop model and up to 45 minutes in an electric cooker. Many rangetop models and all electric ones have a quick-release feature that allows steam to rapidly escape in only a few minutes. Rangetop pressure cookers can double as a stockpot while electric pressure cookers may automatically keep food warm after cooking and even be used as a slow cooker or rice cooker.
What We Looked for in Rangetop Pressure Cookers:
- The time required to come up to pressure.
- The time required to reduce pressure.
- The evenness with which the pressure cooker distributed heat for browning.
- The ability to produce a tender and flavorful beef stew.
- The ability to maintain a steady pressure without adjusting the burner.
- The thoroughness of the owner's manual.
- The presence or absence of visible pressure settings.
- The ease of opening and closing the pressure cooker.
- The presence or absence of a quick-release setting.
- The ease with which the pressure cooker could be cleaned.
- The helpfulness and responsiveness of the manufacturer's customer service.
What We Looked for in Electric Pressure Cookers:
- The time required to come up to pressure.
- The time required to reduce pressure.
- The evenness with which the pressure cooker distributed heat for browning.
- The ability to produce a tender and flavorful beef stew.
- The thoroughness of the owner's manual.
- The presence or absence of a quick-release setting.
- The ease with which the pressure cooker could be cleaned.
- The readability of the pressure cooker control panel.
- The type of controls found on the pressure cooker.
- The ease of using the pressure cooker's controls.
- The size and ergonomics of the handles found on the side of the electric pressure cooker.
- The presence or absence of a keep warm setting.
- The presence or absence of a slow cook setting.
- The presence or absence of a brown setting.
- The presence or absence of a steam setting.
- The presence or absence of a delay start function.
- The helpfulness and responsiveness of the manufacturer's customer service.
We coated the bottom of each pressure cooker with a mixture of flour and shortening. Then, we placed rangetop models over a burner on a gas range and heated them, and we set electric pressure cookers to the "brown" setting. We looked to see how evenly the pot bottoms heated, indicating how evenly they'd brown meat.
We filled each pressure cooker with water to the maximum capacity specified by the manufacturer. For rangetop models, we placed the pressure cooker on a burner on a gas range on a high heat setting, and we turned electric models to the "high" setting to see how long they took to come up to pressure.
For rangetop models, we listened closely once the pot came up to pressure, and noted whether or not it was necessary to adjust the burner more than once during cooking in order to maintain steady pressure.
We prepared an identical batch of beef stew in every pressure cooker, cooking it to the time specified in the recipe. We looked for models that yielded tender pieces of beef without overcooking the vegetables.
We timed how long it took for each model took to drop pressure naturally, as well as how long it took using the quick release (when present).
We read over each owner's manual, looking for thoroughness, time and temperature charts, recipes, and troubleshooting advice.
We looked for quick-release mechanisms on every model we tested.
We assessed how easy each model was to clean, noting which pieces could be placed in the dishwasher.
We called each customer service department with a hypothetical problem and assessed its responsiveness, as well as its ability to resolve our problem.
For rangetop pressure cookers, we checked to see how easily the lid could be locked into place.
For electric models, we looked at the type of controls, as well as how easy they were to use and the clarity of the lettering.
We gripped the handles on electric pressure cookers to assess for size and ergonomics.
We checked each electric model to see what special features it contained, including keep warm, delayed start, steam, brown, and slow cook.
When shopping for a pressure cooker, decide if you want a rangetop or electric model: Stovetop models tend to work faster, and the pot can also be used as a stockpot. Electric models take longer but can also be used as slow cookers or steamers. Electric pressure cookers also automatically regulate pressure and bring down pressure once cooking is done, so there's no guesswork.
Look for a pressure cooker made of stainless steel, so it won't interact with food, but be sure it has a heavy aluminum base to distribute heat well.
A pressure cooker with more than one pressure setting will allow you to cook a variety of foods — stews and pot roasts, which require high pressure, as well as delicate vegetables and custards, which benefit from lower pressure.
Look for a built-in quick release setting, which will make it easy to release pressure quickly when you are cooking delicate foods or do not have the time to let the pressure drop naturally.
Before using your pressure cooker, read the owner's manual carefully for safety instructions, cooking guidelines, and tips.
Browning meats before pressure cooking them will enhance their appearance and flavor.
Before each use, check the steam vent to make sure it's not clogged. Make sure that the gasket is correctly in place.
Be sure to use some liquid along with food to create steam.
Do not fill the cooker more than 2/3 full or past the maximum fill line.
When cooking foods like stews and pot roasts that require tenderization, let pressure drop naturally, if time allows.
If cooking foods like vegetables or custards that can overcook easily, use a quick release method to stop cooking.
Never force a pressure cooker open if it does not open easily.

Hellgate Rollergirls roll out 2013 calendar
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Hellgate Rollersgirls are rolling out their third annual Rollergirls calendar.
Each month features a different rollergirl in a unique Missoula location. The girls are trying
to raise money for their training facilities rent and say calendars are a great way to fund-raise while having fun.
"We have to pay our monthly dues and this is kind of our off-season so we're not making money on bouts," said rollergirl Laura Cahill. "And it's a good way to show ourselves to Missoula and to Montana."
The calendars are $16 each and if you missed the calendar debut, they can be purchased at Rockin' Rudy's, Peace of Mind and the Bike Doctor in Missoula, or you can visit the Hellgate Rollergirls website to purchase a calendar and find out more information about the league, their matches and information on how to join.

I did some searching around when I sat down to start this install... I was looking for some tips and pictures of things I should be doing. I couldn't find much, especially in the way of pics. I found enough info to get it done but I figured id take my own set of pics as I went and post up a step by step how to... might be helpful for those looking to do the same upgrade. I did NOT install caps on the motor... Im not sure if I should have... I can always go back and do it later if someone could suggest a proper cap to use. I had also previously installed 5mm castle bullets on my truck, thats why your seeing them installed. The process would obviously be the same if you were using stock wires. Here we go:
+++As always, click the pics for a MUCH larger version in Photobucket+++
Heres a shot of the motor. I bought the new 14.4 volt motor. The number stamped on it is 396505-21...
The next step is to solder your power wires onto the brushes. To do this you must first remove the brushes from the motor. I had to go online to figure out how to do this and found a helpful video on youtube. Bascially, you just slide the entire brush structure and plastic hold out as one piece. Just put a flat screwdriver in the little gap at the motor shaft end of the brush and holder and pry it out. It slides out very easily. Be careful when as it releases from the motor as its under spring pressure and will pop out.
Heres a shot of the whole brush unit... very slick and easy to use system. Spring and everything is all in one piece.
Next you need to tin the brush end and install the wires. You'll see the section of the brush that would typically have a flat connector attached from the drill... I chose to attach my motor wires to that area. Remember to use flux and remember you don't need a GLOB of solder...

When you done with both sides you simply slide the brushes back into the motor housing. They can really only go in one way from what I can tell. When your done... the motor should look like this:

Where I stayed
Sea World San Antonio, TX
Well, today has been a very busy hectic and tiring day. We got to Sea World at 10:00am this morning and started trying to explore the area to see where everything was. We went to the Clydesdale Hamlet and walked through it looking at the Clydesdale's and then went to the dolphin cove at feeding time and watched and played with the dolphins and then proceeded to the Coral Reef and Shark Encounter. After walking through it we started exploring more. But while at the Coral Reef and Shark cove we saw all kinds of fish, sharks and rays, along with an occasional eel. After being at that exhibit I have to confirm that my favorite fish is the Blue Tang, it is just really pretty and colorful. We then worked our way towards lunch prior to the Beluga encounter, grabbed a quick lunch and I decided while we were working towards the Penguin Encounter that I wanted to ride the Steel Eel

Attacks on the Press in 2008: Introduction
In 2008, the numbers of journalists killed and jailed both dropped for the first time since the war on terror was launched in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. This is welcome news, but it is tempered by harsh realities. The war on terror had a devastating effect on journalists, and the trends will be difficult to reverse. Over seven years, journalists were targeted for murder in record numbers, while deterioration in the international legal environment led to a surge in journalist imprisonments.

A trust-bag is the conglomeration of a trust fund kid and a dirt bag. It is a trust fund kid who pretends to be a dirt bag transient person and acts much to cliché in that role. These individuals are often seen doing rock climbing-related activities. They are unkempt, unbathed, and upon close inspection are unaffected by any of the normal things, like jobs, that are required by normal people who do not have the unquestioned help of their wealthy parents to allow them to continue in their mediocrity.
Look at that trust-bag over there digging in the dumpster for food while drinking just purchased micro-brews... what a poser.

Never Sleep: Brew City
Our Never Sleep navigator heads to Milwaukee for Germanic grub and beer in a boot.
Thanks to a flood of Teutonic immigrants, Milwaukee overflows with gemütlichkeit, a distinctly German sense of friendliness that the city has been perfecting since beer barons such as Joseph Schlitz and Frederick Miller filled the city's taps with their lagers.
6:45 P.M. Old World Third Street Oktoberfest

Try to time your visit to the Old World Third Street Oktoberfest—or any of Milwaukee's three other Oktoberfest celebrations. But if you can't, the Old German Beer Hall makes every day feel like Oktoberfest.
7:56 P.M. Mader's Restaurant

Pair that Germanic brew with some Germanic grub at Mader's. For more than 100 years Milwaukeeans and visiting dignitaries (presidents Kennedy and Reagan among them) have dined on its schnitzel and sauerbraten.
9:32 P.M. Best Place Tavern

Although Schlitz died long ago, you can still imbibe with the city's other undisputed king–Gambrinus, the patron saint of beer—at Best Place Tavern. A statue of him lords over the joint, a former Pabst brewery.
12:44 P.M. Von Trier's

Much like the infamous competition featured in the comedy Beerfest, downing a boot at Von Trier's will test your liver, blood-alcohol level and bladder.
3:37 A.M. Dial Pizza Shuttle at the Milwaukee Art Museum
[Image via Pizza Shuttle]
You've had your fill of barley and hops; now it's time to recharge. Dial Pizza Shuttle and send the delivery guy to the Santiago Calatrava–designed Milwaukee Art Museum. The building itself will be closed, but its grounds provide a great spot to watch the sun rise over Lake Michigan.


text: Hey, I figured since I now own two Suburbans it's high time I formally get into GMTC. I'd tell all you guys how great I think it is to drive a Suburban, but then, you already know that. I got the '99 in Feb of last year. Had a lot of miles and more rust than I originally thought (God bless the northeast), and the AutoTrac panel had a cold-solder joint that needed repairing. Still and all, I was hopelessly in love. As my other vehicle ('99 TrailBlazer) has 195,000 miles last month I decided perhaps it was time to retire it for something a bit better. I found a very clean '04 Suburban K2500LT, fully loaded up to and including DVD, in Boston. Zero rust topside to bottom, but it did have 164,000. Mileage in and of itself doesn't bother me as long as the body is straight. I pulled the trigger and caught a flight up, gave the dealer $6900 and drove that baby home. it being the nicest of the two I gave it to my wife. It's just the wife and I at home these days, all the kids have been off and on their own for many years now. To say we each need a monster SUV is silly. I don't care. She loves Suburbans as much as I do. I look forward to making good friends on this excellent forum. Life is good.

I'd like your thoughts on this. I think almost anyone couldd be taught, and quite easily the thought process, the mindset. The skills will come, but it isn't that difficult to teach patience, determination, the "If i can't get in this way, i'll find another way" way of thinking.
I look at this. A traditional IT person has a passion for technology he'll need work on the patience after a few years in customer support how difficult would it be to make the transition? We traditionally find new ways around issues on a daily basis.

Where I stayed
harmony inn
Prambanan and Borobudur
I arise at 6am and wet wipe shower as bathroom is too dire to face at this hour! less that 4 hrs sleep and I'm feeling alright, down at breakfast so is everyone else, I'm mighty impressed until Ben shuffles over with a stinking hangover!
Stale toast just does not cut it this morning and I can't face egg fried rice or spicy chicken noodles, so half a ton of watermelon it is!
We pile back on the bus and to my dismay it's the joke bus again with the shitty suspension. Worse still I thought the back seat would be good, but no, it squeaks with every bounce!!! So frustrating!! But the cure to this, is sleep, everyone must have thought the bus was too annoying as well cause everyone slept! I've sort of trained my body to sleep on any transport so as not to get sick
Gede told us some info en route which was good to have otherwise Borobudur would just have been another temple, albeit much more impressive than any other ive seen so far! He seems pretty good for this sort of thing, he knows a lot of stuff, that is probably because he has been doing this tour of indonesia for 7 years! next month is his first month of starting in Bangkok and doing the whole trip!
the temple is hugely impressive, and I mean really, really impressive. The thing is massive and has been reconstructed 2 times, the last time took 10 years with the help of IBM and their technology... Imagine how long it took to build in the first place!!! It's a buddhist temple that has only one whole buddha left out of thousands. They sit in 5 different poses(the hand signs change in each one) each meaning something different but when there was a war the extremists smashed all of the statues so they are missing hands and heads. Even the guardian lions are smashed up! It's also been exploded which is why at the top, the buddhas are now encased.
I did find out from the guide that it isn't an acting temple for Buddhas for most of the year, only one day that all the buddhists from all over come to pray, he says it isn't all that authentic as there are now 'modern buddist' who believe in the fat jolly buddha Instead of the real deal
Again we've been lucky, there was an eruption of the nearby volcano relatively recently so the top levels have been closed off to the public and it had only just opened up again this week!
The tour guide we had was miniature and so sweet, he told us so much and answered all my stupid questions! I asked about the sarong things we all had to put on, girls and boys, and I asked him if it was a sign of respect, he said sort of but also they can be bought by tourists so mostly it's a business thing!!!
when he had finished showing us around and telling us about Borobodur he said we could wander around as much as we liked and when we need to get out, he told us not to go through 'snake market' but instead to go to the museum (where we could see the 9000 stones that didn't fit back in after the second reconstruction!) and go back out the way we came in. Obviously we got lost. We did hit a wall of sellers who seemed to be waiting at an invisible line to hunt us on our way out of the temple. On the way into the temple, they hunted us as we got off the bus and I said to a guy maybe later to get him off my back, only afterwards was I informed by the guide that 'maybe later' means yes to them and 'they will get you' eek! And he did! the same guy ran up to me and wouldn't leave me be till we got to the museum. Whoops, I shan't say maybe later again! He was mad! and im pretty sure he cursed me...So the museum was confusing, we saw boats and maritime information..? And a woman selling tshirts... '10000 for you' no thanks 'okay 25000' what? No! 'okay okay for you only 10000'!! Haha funny selling technique! Just for being funny I bought an ice lolly which was nice till I got to the bottom layer ... Suspicious taste of Durian....
We tried to get back to the bus and found it impossible to get out
The next stop was Prambanan the Hindu temple which was also huge and impressive! But before we went to the temple we had lunch in the grounds of the temple. The restaurant also served beef...within the hindu temple grounds... Weird. I had a plate of boiled morning glory(on the menu it was mixed veg and shrimp gado gado). Not impressed but also not really hungry, it was scorching hot which just makes you super thirsty so I ordered a couple of bottles of water to go.
Our guide for this place was awesome! Literally had the biggest smile in the world!' My name; Suprix... Why? SURPRISE!' Oh my this dude was so full of beans! And his jokes were so abstract and took a while to grasp but still funny! he was so animated and excited by everything! He took us to all the separate temples which housed brahma the creator Vishnu the keeper and Sheva the destroyer and their animals but only the bull one was left. the other 2 animals were no longer in their temples. He made Andrew climb on it and then when we got out of that part he whispered to me, it's sacred, should do that but you know, sometimes I get bored and it's okay
It's the biggest Hindu temple is east Asia and it is home to 230 odd temples most of which you can see in rubble around the ones that are standing. They are reconstructing each of them and it will take over 200 years to complete. I suspect a little more than 200..! Suprix sits us all down and tells us the legend of 1000 temples: The legend tells the story about two ancient kingdoms raging war against each other and after a series of devastating batteles the baddies won. In the last battle, the baddie Prince, filled with supernatural powers, defeated the good king. After his victory, the Prince requested a marriage between himself and the dead king's daughter, whose beauty was unmatched.
The princess refused to marry the man who killed her father. She was finally forced to give in, but presented the Prince an impossible condition in order for the marriage to take place; the prince must construct a thousand temples in only one night.The prince agreed and immediately started working; the prince entered into meditation and conjured a multitude of demon spirits from the earth. With their help he built the first 999 temples and started working on the final one. To force a stop to his efforts, the princess and her maidens lit a fire in the east and begin pounding rice; a traditional Javanese dawn activity. Fooled into thinking the sun is about to rise, the spirits fled back into the earth leaving the last temple unfinished. The prince became furious when he learned of the deception and placed a curse on the princess which turned her into a stone statue making her the 1000th temple.
As he showed us around he would only let the boys see the stone carvings with boobs and vaginas on and giggle and scurry on to the next one but, only to stage whisper to the girl' it's lady bits
Our luck held out with the weather and it didn't start raining till after we got back on the bus!
When we got back to the harmony inn I decided to make full use of the pool even though it was raining :) it was awesome swimming in the rain and I had fun chatting to Angus and Andrew and angela whilst floating in the rain! I have to admit I did do the andy dufrain escape scene of shawshank! Ha! Plonker! No one got it till I told them of course. Although much to mine and Angela's amusement Andrew and Angus starting talking about Ben being 'after me' ha! Obviously I didn't tell them he would be much more into them than me, just giggled with Angela on the sly and told them they had it all wrong! They still don't believe me.
I told Ben in the way to dinner ( after another awkward flip flop shower) and we had a giggle and like the idiots we are decided to play up to it to see if they would ever cotton on! Turns out we really didn't need to, Angus and Andrew made all the remarks they could about us sitting together etc even though we didn't and even though Angela Jordan Katrina and I were all laughing every time they did! Still nothing! Very silly boys!
As usual, dinner took about 2 hours to come and mine was hotter than everyone else's. I had a honey pancake to soothe the burn and washed it down with an avocado juice ( not nice).
Earlier I had signed up for a silver jewellery making course but at dinner Paola announced that only 5 people could go but 10 had signed up, no one was saying anything so I started and gave up my spot and instantly regretted it! Oh well, I'm sure I can do it elsewhere.
I had thought about an early night but by the time dinner finished it was midnight anyway so I just we t back to harmony inn, sat by the pool to use wifi a bit and now I'm off to bed! Night x

Executive Summary:
Global Exchange's groundbreaking new nonpartisan report, "Meet the F.I.R.E. Sector: How Wall Street is Burning Democracy [1]" contains not only extensive research tracking Wall Street's investment in political power, but also analyzes exactly how Wall Street has secured 'industry-loyal voting practices' of Congress using whopping amounts of money. The report is accompanied by an infographic and legislative scorecard.
Key Findings:
Between 2006-2012 (so far) the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (F.I.R.E.) sector has invested a total of $4.2 billion in political power and influence including:
- $829 million in congressional campaign contributions
- $181 million in presidential campaign contributions
- $2.8 billion in lobbying with over 18,400 lobbyists
- Wall Street has spent $1,331 dollars per minute, every minute since 2006, to gain political influence.
- F.I.R.E. sector campaign contributions and heavy lobbying of both parties are used to foster industry-loyal voting practices in Congress.
- An average of 74% Senate Finance Committee votes matched the F.I.R.E. industry lobby position for seven bills examined; the total Senate's average 'industry loyalty rate' matched the F.I.R.E. lobby position 66% of the time for the same bills.
- To 'put out the F.I.R.E.' voters must expose and challenge the toxic campaign money from Wall Street that is putting corporate profits over the needs of a healthy democracy.

"Meet the FIRE Sector" Legislative Scorecard [3] correlates all Senate and House members' votes on seven key pieces of legislation including the bank bailout, Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform, free trade agreements, and health care. In addition, the scorecard also documents the F.I.R.E. sector's lobby position on each bill, F.I.R.E. campaign contribution totals to each legislator since 2006, and then tallies each legislator's 'Loyalty Rate' to the F.I.R.E. sector based on what percentage of their votes matched the F.I.R.E. lobby position.

Wall Street, aka the F.I.R.E. sector, has spent $1,331 dollars per minute, every minute since 2006, to gain political influence. Check out this colorful, 1-page infographic to see where the money goes, what corporations are included in the FIRE sector, and what you can to do 'put the FIRE out.'
[Download the 1-page Infographic [4]]
There are many complex factors that go into legislative votes, but corporate sponsorships shouldn't be one of them. It is up to us to reclaim and protect democracy. The Elect Democracy campaign is explicitly not telling you who to vote for… we're asking you to follow the money. Our goals are not to influence the outcome of one election, but to spark dialogue about accountability, transparency, and stop Wall Street from burning our priceless democracy.

generally about 7" for 5.56/223 though 4th is working on a AR-15 derringer in 5.56--LOL!
no limitation for pistol rounds in blow-back.
the deal with pistol cals running DI is there about the same length as a pistol barrel and i am thinking shorter would be better on the gas block with them.
now here is an idea for super short 5.56 like a 5"-- --go with a gas piston set up!
even the cheap gas piston kit has an adjustable gas block that could come in very handy--

Kim Kardashian can't wait for her baby bump to pop.
The curvaceous reality TV star - who is expecting her first child in July with her rapper boyfriend of eleven months Kanye West - has revealed she is struggling to get dressed every day as she has put on weight everywhere except her stomach and is tired of trying to conceal her pregnancy curves.
Writing in her new "mommy blog" on her official website, the 32-year-old beauty said: "For me, I've found that I've gained inches and I've gotten wider but my belly hasn't popped yet, so I struggle finding things that don't make me look heavy.
"Some days my baby bump really shows, and some days it doesn't...so I never really know what I'm going to look like.
"At this stage, I guess I'm more focused on concealing the weight gain than I am about dressing the bump, just because it hasn't popped yet.
"Once I start showing more, I'll be all about showing off my bump, and I can't wait!"
The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star loves being pregnant as it has enabled her to shop for a whole new wardrobe.
She said: "I'm definitely having a lot of fun with my maternity fashion. [I] love trying new things."
Kim previously hit back at critics who said she was wearing clothes that are too tight for her growing figure.
She said: "I think because I have big boobs it could make me look heavier if I don't, like, show off my waist or something, so I just have kind of learned to dress one way only."

Lightning's third-period rally fell short
The Northern Lakes Lightning girls' hockey team was edged by Hibbing/Chisholm 3-2 in non-conference action Thursday, Dec. 20, at Breezy Point Arena.
The Lighting trailed 3-0 after two periods as Hibbing/Chisholm was sparked by a pair of goals by Erin Scovill. Courtney Kittock and Megan Snyder each scored goals for the Northern Lakes to lead a third-period comeback bid.
Kittock scored on a backhanded shot in the top of the net after a nice centering pass from Erika Monson just 14 seconds into the final period. Morgan Demars of Pine River-Backus also assisted on the goal. Snyder scored on a shot in the top corner, assisted by Kaylyn Eggena and Alex Palm, with 12:06 remaining to set up a close finish.
Northern Lakes pulled its goaltender, Kat Jensen, in the final minute but were unable to tie the game.
"Hibbing is a fast team, and we were losing the races to the puck," Lightning head coach Kirsten Harsha said of the first two periods. "We realized we were down, but we had a goal to win the third period, and we did. We had our chances, and I'm proud that we didn't quit."
Jensen had 25 saves while winning netminder Amanda Klennert had 19 stops for the Bluejackets, who are ranked No. 14 in Class AA and 9-4 overall.
The Northern Lakes junior varsity team lost 2-1 in a shootout. The only shootout goal was by Allie Olson. Madison Galligan played the first two periods in goal while Hailey Deutsch played the final period and the shootout.
Lightning 5, LP-GE/Wadena-DC 1
Monson netted two goals in the third period as Northern Lakes downed Long Prairie-Grey Eagle/Wadena-Deer Creek in a non-conference game on Tuesday, Dec. 18, at Wadena.
Snyder added a goal and an assist for the Lightning while Palm and Kim Jessen also scored. Demars assisted on both of Monson's goals in the third period.
Blue Devils' goaltender Angel Hanson totaled 26 saves and Jensen kicked away 14 shots for the Lightning.
The Lightning, 4-5 overall before traveling to Silver Bay on Friday, Dec. 21, are next scheduled to compete at the Schwann's Cup in Blaine on Dec. 27-29. Northern Lakes will open against Worthington on Dec. 27.

text: Ben Wallace needs but a few touches a game. If he's wide open underneath the rim, pass him the ball, but the defense rarely leaves him wide open there. He is being left open on the other areas of the floor, where he absolutely cannot score. Hamilton has seen plenty of shots since returning... far too many for how little he is converting.

Gun deer harvest up 11%
Hunters registered 218,144 deer in the 2010 Wisconsin gun deer season that ended Sunday, according to preliminary data from the Department of Natural Resources.
The total includes 102,006 bucks and 116,138 antlerless deer and represents an 11% increase over 2009, said Keith Warnke, DNR deer ecologist.
Warnke said several factors could have contributed to the increased harvest, including very good weather across the state on opening day, an early corn harvest and snow in northern Wisconsin for most or all of the season.
The state sold 621,094 gun deer hunting licenses, a 3% drop from 2009.
Additional information will be available later today and published in tomorrow's newspaper.

There is a ton of value on the Angels who continue to play hard to end the season with a respectable record. I've been very impressed by how these young players have taken advantage of late season playing time.
Texas is in a must win situation each time out, so the pressure is clearly on the host. If the Rangers do get eliminated from the playoffs you know they will lay down and let the season come to a disappointing close.
Great plus money bets on the Angels in each contest because of the situation.

Money management, line shopping and reading the betting markets are just as important as picking the right side.
What happens if the Angels get swept??
I like taking the Angels on the run-line in every game of this set. These teams have been involved in 7 one-run games out of 15 head-to-head meetings this year. The Halos have notched half of their 4 wins over the Rangers this season in the month of September, which supports the notion that, over the past few seasons, Texas just seems to choke when it matters the most.
Angels Run-line seems to be the best Investment

Data Breaches and Risk Management in Emerging Payments
Jennifer Windh: Welcome to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Payments Spotlight podcast. Today, we're joined by Will Roberds, research economist and senior policy adviser at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Today, Will is speaking to us about data breaches and risk management in emerging payments. Will, thanks for joining us.
Will Roberds: You're welcome.
Windh: In 2008, you authored a paper that claims too much personal data is being collected, and that collecting data can increase the risk of identity theft. Why are companies collecting too much data?
Roberds: Basically, that paper looks at a phenomenon that is known to economists as an externality. An externality is said to occur in an economic environment when uncontracted action of one economic agent, person, or firm—perhaps a governmental body—imposes a cost or a benefit, again uncontracted, on another party. So the idea of that paper that my coauthor, Stacey Schreft, and I were exploring was the idea of an externality and personal data collection.
Collecting personal data provides a benefit in the sense that it allows the credit industry to offer credit to firms and individuals by being able to match people, to match purchasers of goods and services, to a specific credit record. The more personal data that is collected the better the chance that the person who you think is associated with a credit record is actually that person. But then there is what is called, potentially, a negative externality associated with that data collection, and that is as more and more of that data is assembled and it becomes more and more extensive, it becomes a riper target for theft by talented individuals who are able to access that data, use that to construct, if you will, pseudo-identities that allow them to illegitimately purchase goods and services, and thereby impose costs on everyone else who's working within the credit system.
Windh: Well, that sounds pretty bad. Why aren't the private firms managing these risks comprehensively in-house?
Roberds: Well, again, the whole idea of an externality is that it's something that happens because it's uncontracted. If there were just one or two firms in the world, then it might be easy for them and their lawyers to sit down and draw up guidelines for how much personal data they would be collecting and how secure that data would be kept. But because there are so many entities out there in the economy right now collecting this data, it's difficult for them to coordinate on the right level of personal data collection and to make the right decision about how much data and how much security effort should be expended to preserve the privacy of that data.
Windh: Well, we know that a lot of big companies are already dealing with these issues, but where do emerging payment providers fit into all of this?
Roberds: Well, I think that the same issues that show up with traditional payment services show up with emerging payment providers; it's just that it takes a while for externalities to show up. It's hard to set up a network of secure transactions, in part because security in these environments comes to resemble what economists know as a weakest link public good, or a weakest link club good. This has been studied extensively by all kinds of economists. Hal Varian, a very well known economist and chief economist for Google, by the way, has written about this issue extensively.
A club good is a good that can be produced at zero marginal cost—a good whose value is not diminished with each successive use. All kinds of digital goods, goods that can be represented in digital form are, by their very nature, club goods—think about recorded music or video, that kind of thing. It's the same way with security of digital data. Keeping that data secure is a benefit that's provided to essentially everyone who's operating legitimately within a credit system.
Now, the problem is that a lot times the level of security is not related to the total amount of effort or cost that's put forth in protecting and keeping that data secure. Instead, it follows a weakest link, or lowest-point rule, meaning that the data is only as secure as the weakest place within the system that's using it in terms of its security and its ability to be breached by hackers and other malefactors who would like to exploit the credit system. So it can be quite difficult if you've got a diverse set of participants—as often happens in emerging payment systems—to get everyone to agree, "Well, this is the level of data we should collect and this is the amount of security effort, and these are our standards, etc., etc., to keep the data secure." So that weakest link club good problem can contribute a lot to data security problems in emerging payments environments.
Windh: So what incentives could be put in place to make sure all players are providing the right level of security?
Roberds: Well, I think the paper here by Hal Varian is very instructive. It says that while this weakest link club good problem can be addressed by making sure that the benefit-to-cost ratio for every participant in a system is approximately the same. Where you tend to have problems is when some parties see some big benefits to actions that would tend to increase the security of data, and other parties say, "Well, gee, I'm not getting that big a benefit." So, basically, there's two ways to do it: there's the "carrot" way and there's the "stick" way.
There's a way of offering incentives. If there's a way of offering incentives to people who keep their data secure through some kind of monetary reward. Or the other way is the stick way of imposing monetary fines or, ultimately, exclusion from a system from people whose security efforts and whose overall approach to data security are not up to the standard of what the other people in the system want to see.
Windh: That's all very interesting, and I think that we are going to have to deal with that as an industry going forward as we see more and more emerging payments players try and use existing rails. Could you tell me anything about current research you are working on?
Roberds: Right now, I have moved out of the retail, or small-value payments area, and I've been working extensively in the area of large-value payments. Specifically, I've been working at reconstructing a historical large-value payments system that was operative in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Bank of Amsterdam, which was predecessor to the Bank of England, which is predecessor to the Federal Reserve. It's an interesting project to me because it's a system that had a gross-settlement architecture, which is exactly the same architecture that we see in Fedwire today and virtually all large-value payment systems around the world.
Windh: I will definitely be looking for the results of that, and thanks for agreeing to speak with us today.
Roberds: My pleasure.
Windh: Again, we've been speaking today with Will Roberds, research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. This concludes our Payments Spotlight podcast on data breaches and emerging payments risk management.

Today's Cabinet meeting discussed developments in the David Bain compensation application but no decisions were taken, Justice Minister Judith Collins says.
She did not go into details but it is likely Ms Collins talked about whether to commission another report into the case and, if so, by whom.
She rejected the work of Justice Ian Binnie, a former judge of the Canadian Supreme Court, as flawed and going beyond his mandate in recommending compensation and delivering a report with serious errors.
Former New Zealand High court judge Robert Fisher peer reviewed Mr Binnie's report for Ms Collins and last year she did not rule out him as a person who might conduct a further report.
After today's Cabinet meeting, the first of the year, Ms Collins issued a statement saying she had updated her colleagues on the status of Mr Bain's application but no decisions had been made on the next steps.
She reiterated the fact that no one was entitled to compensation and that Mr Bain's application falls out the cabinet guidelines for approving compensation - although exceptions have been made in the past.
She would make an announcement when a decision on further steps had been made.

For those who have never heard of or participated in the 48 hour film project basically it's just like it sounds you have 48 hours to film a 7 minute movie while incorperating certain elements that are kept secret till the day it starts. Within that time you have to write, cast, scout locations, film, and edit all in 48 hours. This year there were some great films. A Competition like this takes alot out of you and if your lucky you'll get 3-4 hours of sleep.
This year we were given:
Genre: Western
Character: Amos or Amy Belanger, Historian
Prop: a Crayon
Line of Dialogue: "That's not what I meant."
Here's the link to the film, let me know what you think.
it takes a minute or two to load

Kitchen slang. The abortion stick is the unbent coat hanger, kept in virtually every commercial kitchen in North America, for unclogging the spout at the bottom of the deep fryer and various other odd jobs. It is an important tool, despite being a piece of junk, and it's very annoying when the abortion stick goes missing.
John (peering into the filthy space under the fryer): Where the fuck is the abortion stick?
Jim: Your mom borrowed it.
Jim: Your mom borrowed it.

text: I was talking to a friend the other day about my interest in getting a van and the topic of swapping engines came up. We came up with some theories on how it's done but I'm not too sure about our theories :no: So how do you pull an engine from a van? My best guess was you drop it from underneath somehow.
