Example: Sampling for State Assessment
A State assesses students in five content areas--reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies--using open-ended integrated performance tasks. At each grade level assessed, four test forms are used. Each of three of the test forms covers a portion of the content standards in each of the five content areas, so that across the three forms, all content standards are covered. The fourth test form is used to link scores from the other three forms and contains tasks from the three forms as well as tasks used in prior years.
All students in the tested grade level are assessed using one of the four forms. Forms are randomly distributed within a school so that approximately equal numbers of students take each form. Since the tasks require some group activities, students are grouped for test administration based on the form they are taking.
Individual student scores are reported for each content area (reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies) as a whole, with no further breakdown of scores. Student scores are accompanied by a discussion of cautions in use and interpretation. Users are instructed to use State assessment scores as one piece of information about student performance in the content area, and to supplement such scores with additional performance information (such as local assessments, classroom performance, etc.) before making student-level decisions.
School-, district-, and state-level aggregate scores are reported for each content area, as the proportion of students meeting each of the States four performance standards: novice, partially proficient, proficient, and advanced. This information is used to determine school and district progress in educating students to meet the States content standards. Scores are also reported for each content standard within a content area. Schools and districts use this information for instructional improvement.

"Simple and good but the sauce was a bit heavy for the delicate taste of scallops. If you put some pork sausage in it and serve it with biscuits the sauce would be great."

"This was amazing!!! I used regular bread crumbs and it worked out just fine. My husband and I couldn't get enough. Can't wait to make this again."

The Southern Steel will boast the tallest player in the ANZ Netball Championship next season following the signing of towering Jamaican shooter Jhaniele Fowler.
At 1.98m Fowler eclipses the height of her Jamaican teammate Romelda Aiken, a pivotal member of the Queensland Firebirds, and will prove an intimidating presence under the post for the Steel.
Securing an ANZ Championship contract has been an aspiration for the 23-year-old, who has been previously linked to the Adelaide Thunderbirds as a potential signing.
"The Steel presented themselves and I know the Steel are a good team, so I am excited to represent them," she said.
Fowler is eager to soak up knowledge while playing alongside the world's best netballers in the trans-Tasman league - advancing both her own development and that of her compatriots.
"My personal goal is to just get more experience in terms of playing with the elite players," she said.
"Our club league is not that strong in Jamaica so to play in the ANZ Championship is an opportunity that will not only benefit me but also netball in my country."
Fowler, who has spent the last week in Auckland competing at the Fast5 Netball World Series, will move to Invercargill in January to unite with her new teammates as they embark on an intensive pre-season build-up.
She will no doubt field plenty of questions regarding her move from the sunny climes of Jamaica to the deep south, but she was unfazed by the region's reputation for unpredictable weather .
"I've been to other countries where it has been cold ... I will be able to adjust," she said. "I have looked Invercargill up on the internet and I know it's very beautiful. It's going to be hard adjusting to living somewhere new for the first couple of months but I am excited for the opportunity."
Steel coach Janine Southby said, while the franchise continued to have a strong focus on developing players, Fowler would inject some valuable international experience.
"Someone of Jhaniele's calibre is a real asset to us and obviously her height is going to be a bonus," Southby said. "She's a really strong target for us on the court ... she's going to add a different flavour and bring a different culture to the Steel which is exciting."


text: I was adding a frame of emerging brood to boost the population of a cast swarm that i caught last week. While the cover was off the queen quickly popped up between two frames and flew off. Her abdomen looked larger than when i last saw her, so I am pretty sure she has been out of the hive to mate. What are the chances of her returning?


text:
My oldest hive without brood break is in it's 3rd fall. There was one other hive that was here when I took the yard over last spring, but I culled that hive last fall (after I had already split from each multiple times). The 3 year hive is currently sitting on 1 deep and 3 supers, with 1 super of brood(bottom) and 1/3 brood and 2/3 honey in the deep (no theory there, I'd rather run them on them on two deeps). The other supers are all capped honey, and I have already extracted boxes off this hive.
When I pulled some capped brood frames the other day, I noticed a fair amount of pulled out brood/empty cells. Maybe 15 or so total on the frame. The past week I have noticed workers ejecting underdeveloped bees with deformed wings and white mites. I have not seen a lot of adult bees with small wings actually on frames or at the entrance.
I have noticed other hives discharging young bees with mites but not like this one. It seems to have a vital population, often bearding well out of the hive every night. Last year I culled a hive that showed deformed wings, middling honey production and a limping population in late October.
I am wondering if this hive is showing ramped up hygienic behavior in response to increased mite load. I am wondering how I will be able to predict if their hygienic behavior will keep up with the mites? I do have a screened bottom board... I could do a mite drop, really I don't usually. So I wouldn't really have a frame of reference.

I am ordering a cobb accessport and have been looking a different intakes and ram into a question about the two systems mentioned in the title. I know the aem mounts in the fender wall and there is the slight possibility of it sucking in water but that is very rare i heard and should not be a concern. The cobb system seems to mount in the stock air box or i could purchase the whole system with the airbox included. My question is, is the cobb worth buying with the airbox also or will it still function properly in the stock box if that is possible. Also anyone know if one system is better then the other when it comes to sound, performance, etc. ANy help would be great and if something i have stated is not clear let me know haha. Thanks!

Where I stayed
Burro Mountain Homestead
Got to Burro Mountain ... an old historic ranch up in the mountain forest. Visited at one time by both Teddy & Franklin Roosevelt. Was quiet the place at one time. It's a little rustic, but have deer come up and eat apples out of hand and they wander throughout the park. It's not too far from here to Silver City, NM. But the road in is 7 miles of dirt/sand and rough because of the lack of rain.
Would be a good place to spend the summer. They also have rooms and a suite of room available for rent. The people are very friendly
Took a trip to see the Gila Cliff Dwellings and the Catwalk one day. Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument offers a glimpse of the homes and lives of the people of the Mogollon culture who lived in the Gila Wilderness from the 1280s through the early 1300s. The surroundings probably look today very much like they did when the cliff dwellings were inhabited. It is surrounded by the Gila National Forest and lies at the edge of the Gila Wilderness, the nation's first designated wilderness area. This designation means that the wilderness character of the area will not be altered by the intrusion of roads or other evidence of human presence.
Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, containing 533 acres, was established on November 16, 1907.
The Catwalk Trail is located on the Glenwood Ranger District of the Gila National Forest. The Whitewater Picnic Area at the entrance to the trail is named for Whitewater Canyhon, which played a pivotal role in the mining saga of the late 1800s and early 19900s
The hanging walkway follows the route of the old water line up the canyon.
A water pipeline along Whitewater Canyon was also built in 1893 to provide water for the mill and town. It ran up the very narrow stretches of the canyon, sometimes as much as 20 feet above the canyon floor, and was considered to be an engineering feat in its time. The pipeline was in need of constant mainenance and the workmen who walked the line to repair damage dubbed it the "Catwalk." In the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built a trail consisting of a hanging walkway following the path of the old pipeline. The Forest Service rebuilt the trail in 1961, and in 1978 it was designated a National Recreation Trail. The Catwalk Trail and picnic area has become the second most visited location on the Gila National Forest with more visitors coming every year. The trail also connects to the hundreds of miles of trails within the Gila Wilderness.

LOL EVERYONE was just complaining how this defense praises the opponent now he shows a little "DOG" and you guys want him to shut up?? I'm glad JPP said this at least we know they are not scared.
I wasn't talking about you. If you haven't noticed EVERYONE on this board was sick and tired of the praise that they were giving RG3...right?? Now JPP says it will be easy to play Brees. Was he wrong?? The fact is he can now just RUSH the passer and doesn't have to worry about gap discipline the whole game. You have NO idea what is going to happen Sunday if he gets 6 sacks and holds Brees to 7 points you'll be riding his jock again. All I'm saying is I'm GLAD he is not signing his praises like Tuck and Osi last week with RG3. Plain and simple.
You need to relax....you jump on everyone when they don't agree with you.... it's mb bro. People have different opinions. I like what he said.... you don't and that's fine.
Last edited by Eliscruzzz; 12-06-2012 at 02:27 AM.
meh...probably not the wisest way to word it but I understand what he's trying to say. Sure it might be taken the wrong way but you know what, its better than Tuck slurping RG3 pregame, losing to him, and still slurping him postgame.
At this point I dont care, let them trash talk. I prefer that than the lovefest that Tuck displayed this past game. At the end of the day, a couple misconstrued words arent gonna determine whether or not Brees torches us...it'd be insulting to the Saints to think that would be their driving force. They have enough motivation as it is, they're trying to lock in a WC spot.
Fact is, if the Giants bring their A game, they win this game. If not then we're swooning right out of the playoff race...
The end...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1

I am a hairdresser so I am pretty outgoing at work, but I can be shy when Im out socially. I am pretty strong willed, and I am usually pretty blunt...not rude, just blunt. I like to joke around and laugh but I need quiet time sometimes too. I try to watch my money and I want to be comfortable but I don't dwell on it... not sure if that's good or bad. Lets see.... turn ons: good grammar( I know, wierd right?) and aggressive men. Turn offs: People who type in all capitals so I feel like they're yelling at me and people who say warsh instead of wash. I admit, I'm not the skinniest girl in the world, but I'm not huge either, I am who I am. Like I said, I like men who are aggressive... , but strong willed. I know I need a kick in the bum once in a while, especially when Im having a blonde moment. I like men who can talk when we have different opinions rather than argue. Someone who can make me laugh and thinks Im funny. Someone who wants to be with me but knows we both need friend time. I like a variety of things, wine tasting, canoe trips, carnivals, movies, love to read, bowling, trying restaurants, sitting on the couch with a movie. Im usually up for trying something new. I like different types of music and movies. P.S. Please, if you are about to send me a dirty message, stop, rethink that, and don't. If I want to hear a stranger talk dirty to me I'l go to a bar. I am on here looking for a relationship, not a hook up. Thanks!

I know exactly where you are coming from. As president of our guild, I started what we refer to as "Meet and Greet". As you enter the meeting place, we have a sign in sheet for both members and guests. One of our members is assigned as the "Greeter' for the night or I myself do it. I first introduce myself and ask where they are from and what interests they have other than quilting and how they heard about our guild. Depending on those answers, I know exactly who to introduce her to. One of our members love to travel by rv and this one guest had the same interest. Guess who are the best of buddies today?
I guess what I am trying to say is, there is always someone who is just waiting to have a new buddy in the quilting world. You will not find anyone more outgoing and willing to meet another quilter than another quilter.
Take a deep breath, walk in and say "Hello". You'll be glad you did. Good luck! I'll be thinking of you.

By Steven Hauersperger, PE
Owner: Indiana DOT
Project: Slipline 14 round and oval corrugated metal pipes with in-house crews
Product: Snap-Tite HDPE culvert lining system
Manufacturer: ISCO Industries LLC; Louisville, Ky.
Distributor: CPI Supply; Bedford, Ind.
Grouting contractor: Temple & Temple Excavating and Paving Inc.; Salem, Ind.
The stimulus package was welcome, but given our infrastructure's enormous need for repair and rehabilitation, it didn't alleviate the need to stretch maintenance budgets as far as possible. The year the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed, one agency set out to prove contractors could lower bids for trenchless pipe rehabilitation — so-called "specialized" work — and succeeded.
Until the introduction of liners that don't need to be mechanically joined, contractors have owned the market for sliplining and other rehabilitation methods that require special equipment to fuse liner segments together for a watertight seal. But in 2009, the Indiana DOT identified an easy-to-install product that met department specifications and initiated a pilot program in one of its six districts to line corrugated metal culverts with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in-house.
Most of the corrugated metal pipes in the LaPorte District's 150 culverts are at least 30 years old and reaching the end of their design life, a familiar scenario for public works departments regardless of service area size or location. Agency maintenance crews routinely slipline shorter, smaller-diameter culverts — pipes less than 40 feet long and 30 inches in diameter — but under the pilot program would tackle pipes up to 305 feet and 72 inches.
Maintaining traffic flow usually makes replacing interstate under-roadway stormwater culverts and spillway pipes costly. So to test the viability of lining as a rehabilitation method, the district targeted assets under I-65 and I-94, two of the state's busiest and most traveled highways.
"With replacement, the cost to maintain traffic in some areas was equal to or more than the cost to line," says District Spokesman Jim Pinkerton. "Sliplining enabled us to improve pipe condition for much less."
Managers specified the Snap-Tite culvert lining system* manufactured by ISCO Industries LLC of Louisville, Ky., and distributed in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan by CPI Supply of Bed-ford, Ind. A major attraction was that it requires little special training and no specialized equipment. Each end of the liner has a patented male/female connection that allows installers to snap sections together piece by piece to the desired length and then push the assembled liner into a pipe. Crews then fill in the annular space and any voids between pipe and liner with grout.
For pipes, section lengths range from 2 to 50 feet; for culverts, diameters from 8 to 84 inches.

The show, which aired in 1973, tracked the dissolution of Bill and Pat Loud's marriage and the coming out of their son Lance. It was riveting stuff for a nation reared on Leave It to Beaver and in thrall of The Brady Bunch.
The panel, moderated by Marc Levitt, is scheduled for October 19 at 5:30 pm and is free and open to the public. Guests will include Alan and Susan Raymond, two of the filmmakers behind American Family, Lynne Joyrich, a Brown University professor of modern culture and media, and Robert Self, a Brown history professor.
The Phoenix, a sponsor of Action Speaks!, caught up with Self for a Q&A via email.
REMIND US HOW SHOCKING IT WAS, WHENAN AMERICAN FAMILY DEBUTED IN 1973, TO WATCH REAL PEOPLE LIVING THEIR LIVES ON TELEVISION. Shocking may not be the best term. Since its birth in the late 1940s, television had a strong "reality" component. Americans' TV screens were always filled with a jumbled mixture of actors, celebrities, and ordinary people — the latter were on game shows, interview shows such as You Bet Your Life, which was hosted for many years by Groucho Marx, and reality-based shows such as What's My Line? If Americans were accustomed to seeing ordinary people on television, the intimacy of American Family was new. It was both new and uncomfortable, and therefore irresistible, for the camera to break the boundary of the domestic sphere and invade the privacy of the home.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE ROUGH TREATMENT THE PRESS GAVE LANCE LOUD, WHO CAME OUT DURING THE FILMING AND WAS ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST GAY CHARACTER ON TV? ANNE ROIPHE, IN A PIECE IN THENEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, REFERRED TO HIS "FLAMBOYANT, LEECHLIKE, HOMOSEXUALITY." I would hesitate to reduce Roiphe's review of the show, or Lance, to a single line. She identifies with Pat Loud (the mother) and her struggles to comprehend the direction her son's life has taken. There is subtlety, not just a thin veil of homophobia, in her characterization. That said, Roiphe's description of the gay world of Chelsea in 1971 (when the show was shot) reflects the larger society's discomfort with homosexuality, transgender, and everything that we might call "queer" today. Taking Pat's side, Roiphe worries that Lance is over-dramatizing his own life, casting himself and his sexuality as an "interesting" production for the camera. It's a critique of the youthful, self-dramatizing counterculture as much as it is a critique of his queerness.
But that is why An American Family is such a fascinating time capsule. Gay cultures had virtually no presence in mainstream media in 1971. The Stonewall riots had occurred less than two years before. Gay liberation was a new phenomenon in American life, to say nothing of American television, where middlebrow shows like The Brady Bunch and My Three Sons predominated. Gay rights was barely a recognized concept in the larger culture of the nation. Roiphe was, like most Americans, both ignorant of and fascinated with a gay world that was just becoming visible in 1971 on the national landscape. Thus even otherwise liberal figures such as Roiphe could not escape a society-wide homophobia that cast gay worlds as shadowy and exotic.

Netflix: Content Costs Untenable, Says Needham (Update)
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) continue to give up some of yesterday's gains, falling 94 cents, or 1%, to $79.51 with a variety of factors weighing on the shares.
Yesterday's rise in shares -- the stock closed up 11% -- was helped both by the announcement of some data about its streaming video usage that suggested the service is still healthy, as well as remarks by Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster, who said that the company could be a target for Yahoo! (YHOO).
But Munster later in the day moderated his stance, suggesting that Netflix, with a market cap of $4 billion, might be too big a deal for Yahoo! to swallow.
Now today comes a reiteration by Needham & Co.'s Charlie Wolf of his Underperform rating on the stock, writing that the profit on each streaming sub is falling "dramatically."
Wolf cut his 2012 estimate to $3.84 billion in revenue from a prior $4.34 billion, and to a net loss of 50 cents this year from a profit of $2.50 per share previously, and below the 42 cents consensus estimate.
Wolf takes the average cost of content for each sub, which he calculates at $81.29 as of September of last year, using a series of considerations comprising balance sheet and off-balance sheet content commitments. And he takes the average lifetime income from a streaming subscriber of $136.
Wolf then compares how streaming costs have risen faster than the sub base is expanding, which he thinks bodes ill:
Netflix's streaming content costs have been increasing far faster than its installed base of streaming subscribers. As a result, the quarterly profitability of an average subscriber has tumbled from $42.64 in December to just $10.41 in September. Since these are admittedly rough estimates, a subscriber's actual profitability could lie above or below our estimates. But the direction of the sequential changes is clear. Netflix's content costs are rising at an unsustainable rate; and in tandem, the profitability of its streaming subscribers is falling.
Wolf believes it will be hard for Netflix to solve that conundrum, as the current subscriber base of 23.8 million has required the company to sign up 45.5 million U.S. households, which leaves probably very few households in the U.S. that are left to be tapped who haven't probably already passed on the service, he writes.
Still, Wolf sees a possible escape hatch for the stock: "Netflix's latest guidance implies that international subscriber growth is likely to be faster than we previously forecast. Since Netflix has historically traded on its subscriber growth rate more than any other metric, such a move could potentially benefit the stock even if it translates into a loss in 2012."
Update: For the record, I contacted Piper's Munster regarding his comments about Netflix. He clarifies his position with respect to Netflix and Yahoo! as follows:
Yes, we think Yahoo will be adding more content in the next one to two years based on comments on yesterday's conference call. There are several ways Yahoo could add more content, including acquiring small publishers and/or building a more viable video offering. The best fit for getting real in video is to acquire Hulu, which they have looked at in the past. Netflix is another less likely option. Given it is a more complicated story with its legacy DVD by mail business (that Yahoo would not want), it would take significantly more work for Yahoo to acquire Netflix.

Lowering Heart Disease Risk Is More Than Just Lowering Your Cholesterol Number
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Although there are different types of heart disease, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common. CAD occurs when vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle become narrow. This narrowing happens when fats, cholesterol, and calcium build up on the vessel walls. As the build-up thickens, the vessels become narrower, making it difficult for blood to flow to the heart muscle. This can lead to a heart attack, heart failure, or even death.
Cholesterol receives a lot of attention for being a risk factor for CAD. You may think that if you lower your cholesterol numbers, you will reduce your overall heart disease risk. But focusing only on your cholesterol numbers is a small part of achieving the real goal—lowering your risk of CAD. Beyond the numbers, there are other risk factors that you need to be aware of.
What Are Your Risk Factors for Heart Disease?
There are 2 main types of risk factors for heart disease. There are those that you can change (modifiable) and those that you cannot change (non-modifiable). For example, age is a non-modifiable risk factor. Being older puts you at greater risk for developing CAD, but you cannot prevent aging. Smoking also puts you at higher risk for developing heart disease. But this risk factor is modifiable because you can quit smoking and lower your risk. Here are more examples of the types:
- Age—Risk increases as you get older
- Gender—Men have a greater risk of heart attack
- Menopause—For women, risk increases after menopause
- Family history—Risk increases if family members have heart disease
- Race—African Americans, Mexican Americans, American Indians, Hawaiians, and Asian Americans are at a higher risk
- Being overweight or obese
- Poor nutrition
- Low physical activity
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Low HDL, or "good," cholesterol
- High LDL, or "bad," cholesterol
Cholesterol: One Piece of the Puzzle
Since it is not always possible to see heart disease developing, measuring cholesterol levels is a way for you and your doctor to get an idea of whether heart disease is more likely. But keep in mind that maintaining or achieving ideal cholesterol levels does not mean that you no longer have to worry about a heart attack, stroke, or heart disease. For instance, a 65-year-old man who is overweight, smokes, and has a family history of heart disease is still at risk of having a heart attack, even if his cholesterol levels are ideal.
Take Action
The great thing about working on all of your modifiable risk factors is that many are connected. For example, if you are physically active, not only does the activity lower your risk for heart disease, but it can also lower your weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
Here are some things you can do to lower your risk of heart disease:
Eat a Heart-healthy Diet
Try to include plenty of fruits and vegetables, nuts, and whole grains in your diet. A healthy diet should include foods that are low in saturated fat, cholesterol, trans fat, sugar, and salt. Also, limiting your total calories to a reasonable amount is important.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Everyone's body is different. A healthy weight for one person may not be healthy for another person. One thing is certain: too much weight can increase your risk of heart disease. Eating healthy and exercising can remove obesity as a risk factor.
Do Not Smoke
Do not smoke. If you do smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit. Smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease. Non-smokers should also avoid second-hand smoke.
Limit Your Alcohol
Limit your alcohol to a moderate level. This means 2 or fewer drinks per day for men and 1 drink for women. One drink equals a 12-ounce bottle of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor.
Keep Cholesterol Low
If you have high cholesterol, do not just try to lower the number. Instead, focus on lowering your risk for heart disease. Exercise raises your HDL (good) cholesterol level. Decreasing your intake of saturated fat lowers your LDL (bad) cholesterol. Changes in both numbers helps make you healthier overall.
Medication may be needed for some people. Statins are one type of drug that not only lower cholesterol, but also lower heart disease risk in some people. Statins should be used along with healthy lifestyle habits. If you are prescribed a statin and your cholesterol numbers improve, this does not mean that you should be sedentary and eat whatever you want. You will still need to focus on other modifiable risk factors.
Keep Blood Pressure Under Control
If you have high blood pressure, work to get it under control. Eating a healthy diet, exercising, and not drinking alcohol are just some ways to help control your blood pressure. Some people will also need to take medication.
Manage Diabetes
If you have diabetes, it is important to keep it under control. Eating well, exercising, and taking medication can help with this. If you do not have diabetes, maintaining a healthy weight will help lower your chance of developing diabetes.
The Total Picture
Decreasing your risk for heart disease means more than just achieving normal cholesterol levels—it means addressing all modifiable risk factors. Practicing a healthy lifestyle is key to reducing many of the risk factors for heart disease. Work with your doctor to develop a plan that is right for you. This will ensure that you are doing all you can to keep your heart healthy.

He should replace Fewless, to upgrade the D quality!!!
krykie, when I first saw this I though it said giants hire new defensive coordinator.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1

WTF is a "Defensive Quality Control Coach"? Are the Giants defensive players on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION too????
Never heard of anything so stupid in my life.
How about the Giants find some money and sign some established FA Defensive players that can actually help this team get it's collective head out of it's *** instead of hiring people for jobs that sound made up!

As a result of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, President Obommunist is going to pull out all stops to get his long anticipated gun ban. He was so delighted when that horror occurred that he could hardly wait to get started. I knew that this day was coming. I told people face to face and wrote about it on the internet. I said that, as soon as a bloody slaughter came to pass, that the White House Fuhrer would spring into action.
But, Obummer has a lot of boot-lickers even among gun owners! Some said to me Hes got too many other problems to worry about Our Guns. Hes never shown any interest in banning guns (the moron that said that was living in some kind of a fantasy world). Ill worry about it when it comes to pass; if it ever does. And, so it went. But, I and millions of others knew that when the time was ripe, he would strike like a rattlesnake! And, thats just what happened!
Now, millions of Americans are crowding into gun stores and gun shows trying to find certain guns and ammo that they want. A big demand item the an M4/AR15/M16 in some form or other. But, they are all sold out. The factories are months behind on filling orders. And, who knows what may happen by then? What will the Moslem Communist do to us? He has plans for us--ALL BAD!
In the event that you havent been able to obtain a M4 you may want to consider something else. You better get something before its too late! I offer a few suggestions.
The Ruger Mini-14. Its not as good as the M4, but, it still is a good reliable rifle. It shoots the same .223/5.56 caliber. And, there are high capacity magazines available for it. You could do worse. I actually like the gun, but I do think that, if I had my druthers, I would prefer a M4. But, its probably too late for me now. Like millions of others I procrastinated. and now Ill probably never have a M4.
Some AKs are chambered for the .223. These are generally good performing rifles. They have high cap magazines, too. That is, if there are any left. AKs are noted for being used for long periods of time with little cleaning or maintenance. If you run across one of these, grab it! It may be your last chance to get a semi auto repeater in that caliber.
Although I dont know much about it, Kel-Tec has a carbine (SU-16C) that is chambered in .223. It is a light, handy little carbine that might be useful. It is a possibility for someone who desires a semi-auto in .223.
Of course, there are other actions available in that caliber. Almost every gun manufacturer offers a bolt action .223. Also, there are slide actions, single shots and lever actions. So, if there is still any low cost ammo available, you should be able to find something in which to shoot it.

Dental braces are wire-based appliances that orthodontists use to correct crowded and misaligned teeth or jaws. Many people who need dental braces get them during their early teenage years. However, adults also may benefit from wearing braces. The goal of dental braces is to properly align your teeth and jaws to produce an even bite and pleasing smile.
For teens or adults who need minor corrections, an alternative to fixed braces is a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners or "invisible braces." Clear aligners may be more expensive than fixed braces, but may have a more acceptable appearance to some adults. However, many people need fixed braces to appropriately correct their dental problem.
Modern materials and technologies make the experience of having dental braces much more comfortable than in the past.
Regular dental exams are an important part of preventive health care.
During a dental exam, the dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth and check for cavities and gum disease. The dentist or hygienist will also evaluate your risk of developing other oral health problems, as well as check your face, neck and mouth for abnormalities. A dental exam might also include dental X-rays (radiographs) or other diagnostic procedures.
During a dental exam, the dentist or hygienist will likely discuss your diet and oral hygiene habits and might demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques. Other topics for discussion might include lifestyle factors that can affect oral health and possible cosmetic improvements to your teeth.
Regular dental exams are an important part of preventive health care.
During a dental exam for children, the dentist or hygienist will clean your child's teeth and evaluate your child's risk of tooth decay. A dental exam for children might include application of various protective measures — such as sealants or fluoride treatments — to reduce the risk of decay. A dental exam for children might also include dental X-rays (radiographs) or other diagnostic procedures.
During a dental exam for children, the dentist or hygienist will likely discuss your child's diet and oral hygiene habits and demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques. Other topics for discussion during a dental exam for children might include preventing oral injuries or, for adolescents, the health risks associated with tobacco, substance abuse and oral piercings.
Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones. Dental implant surgery can offer a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework that doesn't fit well.
How dental implant surgery is performed depends on the type of implant and the condition of your jawbone. But all dental implant surgery occurs in stages and may involve several procedures. The major benefit of implants is solid support for your new teeth — a process that requires the bone to heal tightly around the implant. Because this healing requires time, the process can take many months.
Oral cancer screening is an examination performed by a dentist or doctor to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth.
The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure.
Most dentists perform an examination of your mouth during a routine dental visit to screen for oral cancer. Some dentists may use additional tests to aid in identifying areas of abnormal cells in your mouth.
Medical organizations disagree on whether healthy people without risk factors for mouth cancer need oral cancer screening. No single oral exam or oral cancer screening test is proved to reduce the risk of dying of oral cancer. Still, you and your dentist may decide that an oral exam or a special test is right for you based on your risk factors.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth — the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.
If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon. Some dentists and oral surgeons recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren't causing problems, as a preventive measure against potential future problems.

I think here is a good starting list to make it boring, but I didn't read much of annying mechanics.
In games, "just because FUCK YOU!" elements are annoying i believe, for example:
In diablo 3 in inferno difficulty, when you didn't kill an elite mob in less than 20 minutes, the mob is "aggroed" or whatever and you have to die (they help you with that, you lose all of your health in 10 seconds). After that, you have to wait 5 minutes or so until the elite mob has regenerated all it's health.
Why? Because SCREW YOU, that's why.
Haha, great "FUCK YOU" to the gamer.
Or the other side of this one, as FFXII did: you can only obtain the super powered weapon later in the game if you DIDN'T open certain chests (that were not marked or identified in any way) earlier in the game.
Something completely different:
This doesn't make a game bad, but it certanly hides it's potential. For example: make many different attack types in an rpg game (fire, physical, magic...) but make them virtually equal in all regards, it just doesn't matter if you do fire or lightning damage.

Reviews of this property
My colleague Ayat was very satisfied with the accommodation Tineke was very friendly and has willingly given tips!
Mein Kollege Ayat war mit der Unterkunft sehr zufrieden Tineke war sehr freundlich und hat gerne Tips gegeben!
Rein ist ein großartiger Gastgeber. Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Apartment bietet alles was man für ein Wochenende braucht. Es war sehr sauber und gemütlich. Das Bad ist zwar etwas klein aber erfüllt seinen Zweck. Der kurze Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gefallen. Vielen lieben Dank
Ein sehr ansprechendes Appartment mit schönen Bildern und Einrichtungsgegenständen, funktionierender Küche und einem kleinen Bad. Dieses ist auch schon der einzige Grund für "nur" vier Sterne, denn es liegt einen kleinen Treppenabsatz entfernt außerhalb der Wohnung und ist geschmackvoll und effektiv mit Dusche plus Vorhang, Toilette und Miniwaschbecken eingerichtet aber eben klein und mit wenig Platz für Handtücher, Wechselsachen etc..
Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Alles hat reibungslos funktioniert. Netter E-Mail und auch persönlicher Kontakt. Sie bieten die Möglichkeit mitgebrachte Räder unterzubringen und helfen beim kostenlosen Parken.Das Appartment liegt zentral, alles ist gut fußläufig zu erreichen. Brötchen und mehr gibt es gleich um die Ecke. Wenn wir nochmal in Utrecht sind, übernachten wir gerne wieder hier.Vielen Dank.

text: I took my truck in for a broken drivers side door handle, and my service advisor stated that there was a recall for a "transmission dipstick tube fracture". He advised me that the recall basically corrects the problem of of the dipstick breaking a weld and allowing it to be loose (by loose I do not mean removed from the transmission, just a lot of play) in the engine bay. If anybody is having this problem, I've typed the service ticket which includes the recall number and part number. "Perform recall #12138 Transmission Dipstick Tube Fracture V2644 Install Foam sleeve on transmission dipstick per recall FC: Part # 24262134" I noticed quite a few threads about this and I hope it helps someone. I did get my door handle fixed and see that it is a common problem. My service advisor explained that this is a common problem also, but that the painted handle assemblies were less prone to breaking. Be safe.

Halfway to Paradise
Halfway from Tahiti to Bora Bora is a Bali Ha'i island most visitors to French Polynesia have never heard of—Huahine. The island could be Bora Bora's younger sister, with lush volcanic peaks ringed by a peacock blue lagoon. And while more than 700 overwater bungalows speckle the lagoon surrounding Bora Bora, on Huahine—an island twice the size—there are only 17.

Start in the heart of Vienna at (1) St. Stephen's Cathedral, a city landmark dating back to the 12th century. You can go up on one of the towers and enjoy sweeping views of Vienna or descend into the vaults for an instructive guided tour on the history of the cathedral. In the Middle Ages, (2) Stephansplatz, the square in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral, was occupied by a cemetery, but today is a popular meeting point both for tourists and locals. If you go down to the entrance of the U1 and U3 subway lines under the square, you will see the remains of the 13th-century Gothic chapel (3) Virgilkapelle. The chapel was uncovered during the construction of the underground tunnels.
On the corner of Stephansplatz square and (4) Kärntner Strasse, look for (5) Stock im Eisen, a piece of wood covered in nails and enclosed in a protective case. The wood is said to be a leftover from the Viennese Woods that once used to stretch as far as St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Continue along Kärtner Strasse, Vienna's central shopping street and home to a number of cafés and restaurants. On the corner with Donnergasse turn right to (6) Neuer Markt, constructed in the 13th century, and for a period serving as a grain market. In the middle of Neuer Markt is the 18th-century Providentiabrunnen (fountain of providence). Facing the fountain, to your left you will see the 17th-century church (7) Kapuzinerkirche, the final resting place of the members of the Habsburg royal dynasty.
Go past the Kapuzinerkirche along Tegetthoffstrasse to (8) Albertina (www.albertina.at)—an 18th-century palace turned into an art gallery that boasts one of the world's largest collections of graphic art. Across from Albertina, to your left is (9) Hotel Sacher (www.sacher.com), home to Vienna's world-famous chocolate cake—the Sacher-Torte. But the café of Hotel Sacher offers much more than that, so do have a break for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and typical Viennese cakes. Across from Hotel Sacher is the renowned (10) Vienna State Opera (www.wiener-staatsoper.at/). You can visit it also by day—on a special guided tour. If after all the walking and sightseeing you need some serious refreshment, go around Albertina to the (11) Palmenhaus restaurant (www.palmenhaus.at) in an art nouveau greenhouse in the beautiful (12) Burggarten park that also has tables outside in summer. Next door is the (13) Schmetterlinghaus (www.schmetterlinghaus.at)—Vienna's tropical butterfly house.
