20 Years Ago: Slash and Duff McKagan Play Their Last Guns N' Roses Show
When Slash and Duff McKagan walked offstage following Guns N' Roses' July 17, 1993, concert in Buenos Aires, they had no idea it would be their last gig with the band they helped make famous.
Their show at Argentina'a Estadio River Plate was pretty much a typical one for the band at that point: a 'Use Your Illusion'-heavy set, a Rolling Stones cover, some dude delivering pizza to the group onstage. It was close to their 200th show in almost two and a half years, and the final stop on a 27-country tour that played to more than seven million fans.
By the time they took the stage for the last show of the grueling tour, everyone had had enough of road life. "I was definitely physically and mentally exhausted," Slash told Guitar World in 2008. He wasn't the only one. The guitarist pointed out that McKagan "was in dire need of some serious rehabilitation" after the tour.
The band tore through their usual set, including a mix of 'Illusion' and 'Appetite for Destruction' songs like 'You're Crazy,' which was followed by a man walking onstage in a Domino's Pizza uniform and delivering a pie to singer Axl Rose. After that, the band continued their set, threw in covers of Stones and Who songs and ended with 'Paradise City.'
And that was it. "I knew I was just done," Slash said. "But I couldn't look too far into the future to imagine what would happen next." What happened next was an extended break, then delays and then Slash and McKagan — as well as guitarist Gilby Clarke and drummer Matt Sorum — leaving Guns N' Roses. (Slash, McKagan and Sorum would then join forces in Velvet Revolver.)
But it wasn't a bad concert that prompted Slash to walk away from the band he helped make one of the '80s' biggest. As he told Guitar World, "the final show was great." He even preferred the "stripped-down and raw" edge the later shows on the tour adapted. He was simply "very worn out." The long, historic tour (one of the longest and historic in rock history) was finally over. And so was Guns N' Roses' greatest era.

I just recently picked up a Chinese type 56 fixed stock stamped ak with red fiberglass furniture. There are no importer markings on the rifle. The trunnion has "56" and a 6 digit serial number. No arsenal stamp. No "Norinco" or "polytech" stamping. It is definately a 1.6mm Chinese receiver with "S" and "C" selector markings. No evil third pin hole. The original box shows the rifle was shipped to the retailer in 1987. The instruction pamphlet is a Norinco instruction pamphlet.
I'll have pics up soon, but picture a Clayco fixed stock with red furniture and no markings on the rifle other than the selector and trunnion and that's what I've got. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
New info: chicom47.com lists this as a very early example of a 56-S3 before they were marked as such on the trunnion. The import mark is on the barrel "IACO SAC CA".

A single factor goes a long way in explaining the dearth of women in math-intensive fields. How can we address it?
Wendy M. Williams, Stephen J. Ceci
It is when academic scientists choose to be mothers that their real problems start. Women deal with all the other challenges of being academic scientists as well as men do. Childless women are paid, promoted and rewarded equivalently to their male peers (and in some analyses at even higher rates). Children completely change the landscape for women—but do not appear to have the same effect on the careers of men. What happens when children enter the equation, and why does this change seem to impact women's but not men's careers?
Answering this question requires knowledge about the typical course of an academic career. Most college students interested in becoming professors in the sciences graduate from college and matriculate in graduate school soon thereafter. Earning a doctorate takes five to six years on average; it is common to work as a postdoctoral associate for several years after the doctorate. By the time students contemplate applying for tenure-track academic jobs, they are at least 27 years old, and on average 33. Landing a job means applying broadly and being willing to relocate, giving the search priority over the needs of partners or spouses. The next six years are spent in relentless efforts to accumulate an impressive portfolio of work—encompassing research, teaching, service and grants—until finally, at age 35 or older, a professor may be fortunate enough to earn tenure. Research by Jerry Jacobs and Sarah Winslow has shown that more than 60 percent of female untenured professors are over 40, and Mary Ann Mason and Mark Goulden showed the average age of tenure was already 39-plus by 2003.
Women's optimal fertility is between ages 18 and 31. By age 37, many will have difficulty conceiving. Waiting to have children has not only physical aspects but also emotional ones—some women want to have children when they are younger. For women, the tenure track presents a harsh reality that juxtaposes the most significant physical and emotional challenges of their lives with the most significant professional challenges. It's easy to see why the pretenure years might be off-putting for a woman who does not wish to delay having children until her late thirties—she must deal with pregnancy, childbirth and child care while simultaneously amassing a tenurable portfolio of work. This reality is too daunting for some women, and they either leave the tenure-track pipeline or give up on having children.
Surveys have shown that regrets plague women in the academy at a far greater rate than they do men. In a 2002–2003 survey of around 4,500 University of California faculty members by Mason, Angelica Stacy, and Goulden, 38 percent of women but only 18 percent of men stated that they "regret not having children" or "regret not having more children." In research by Elaine Ecklund and Anne Lincoln at Rice University and Southern Methodist University, nearly 40 percent of women graduate students said they had fewer children than they wanted because of the pressure of their careers (versus only 20 percent of men), as did 45 percent of women faculty in astronomy, biology and physics (versus only 25 percent of men). Often this regret is associated with leaving the academy.
Men more often have stay-at-home spouses or spouses in flexible careers who bear and raise children while the men are free to focus on academic work. Women professors in heterosexual partnerships who want to bear children, by virtue of biology, can never achieve this same distance from childrearing, and male stay-at-home partners devoted to child care are rare. Mason and her colleagues found that mothers are 35 percent less likely to enter the tenure track and 38 percent less likely to achieve tenure than fathers, and twice as likely as fathers to work in part-time or non–tenure-track positions. Only one in three women who accepts a fast-track university job before having a child ever becomes a mother. Among tenured scientists, only 50 percent of women are married with children, compared to 72 percent of men, and women married when beginning faculty careers are much more likely to divorce or separate than men. For women who want to have children and a career in science, the picture is not pretty.
If women's fears about the effects of having children on their careers were unfounded, we could simply educate young women scientists about what really happens and relieve them of their anxiety. But in fact, children represent a dramatic influence on women's life paths and work productivity. To complicate the situation further, in some cases children have a positive impact on men's productivity. Research by David Leslie has shown that the more children a woman has, the fewer hours per week she spends on her professional work, while the exact opposite is true for men.
Both for men and for women who have no children or plans to have them, the process of becoming a tenured professor in a scientific field depends on single-minded pursuit of academic goals. Whether measured in hours spent or in percentage of one's life energy devoted, the job demands devotion to the task at a level that is extraordinarily challenging for women who are mothers of young children. The tenure system was created at a time when few women worked outside the home and when raising children was assumed to be women's work, and thus it was designed for people without significant responsibilities in household work or child care. In fact, many early professors were unmarried men who were expected to live in residence at their universities. A lot has changed since then, but the tenure system itself has remained much the same.
The research by Mason, Stacy and Goulden found that childless women and childless men professors report working an average of 78 hours per week across all life domains (in the workplace and at home), and men with children work 88 hours per week. But women with children work 100-plus hours per week across all life domains. Among assistant professors with children, women spend nearly 4 hours fewer per week on their professional careers than do men (52.5 versus 56.3), according to Jacobs and Winslow. The impact of children on women is especially dramatic for the proportion working 60-plus hours per week—42 percent of married male assistant professors with children work 60-plus hours per week, compared to only 29 percent of married women with children. The reality of the lives of women professors with children may seem too stark for their younger colleagues, postdocs and students.
The role of children in women's versus men's decisions about whether to stay in a research-intensive career track or opt out of it can also be seen in research by Goulden, Karie Frasch and Mason. They show that once children—or even plans for children—exist, women become far more likely to move out of the research-professor pipeline. Women with no plans for children show decision making comparable to men, exhibiting about the same likelihood of opting out of research-professor careers.
This single factor of having or wanting children has great impact. In some analyses, females are twice as likely as males to decide not to pursue tenure-track careers as a result of this factor. Having children prior to working as a postdoctoral associate creates a 19 percent likelihood for men of opting out, versus 32 percent for women; having new children after beginning postdoctoral work creates a 20 percent versus 41 percent difference. No other factor can account for as much leakage of women from the research-professor pipeline. The percentage of women in the applicant pool at each of several key transition points shows this decline: From award of Ph.D., to application for tenure-track positions, to being invited to interview, to being offered a tenure-track job, to being promoted to associate and full professor, women's numbers diminish. The proportion of applications from women is significantly lower than the proportion of doctoral degrees awarded to women. This gap is more pronounced in some fields than in others; for example, the difference is quite substantial in chemistry and biology, two disciplines with relatively high proportions (32 percent and 46 percent, respectively) of recent Ph.D.s awarded to women. However, when women do apply for tenure-track positions, they are more likely to be interviewed and hired than their proportion in the applicant pool (as opposed to their proportion in the Ph.D. pool) would lead one to expect. These data, in sum, lead us to conclude that the dynamics of family formation in Western society—not biased hiring committees, journal reviewers and grant panelists—are the primary cause of the underrepresentation of women in academic science.
Do women in nonacademic careers face the same challenges? At least in some fields, the answer is yes. The economists Marianne Bertrand, Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz surveyed nearly 2,500 University of Chicago M.B.A.s who graduated between 1990 and 2006. More women M.B.A.s dropped out of the full-time workforce with each added year following their degree. As their biological clocks ran down, significantly fewer remained in full-time and part-time employment. Although this situation is also seen among women in medicine and among Ph.D.s, it is exacerbated in business, particularly for those jobs associated with work weeks of more than 60 hours (investment banking, consulting) or close to 60 hours (venture capital, sales, trading). For the first few years following receipt of their M.B.A., men and women have similar labor-force participation, both at nearly 100 percent. However, 10 years after graduation, among women who have one or more children, only 52 percent work full-time and full year. Sex differences in labor-force participation widen as careers progress.
Women are not found in greater numbers in some fields, particularly math-intensive ones, due to a combination of factors. The two most significant reasons are that women are more likely than men to prefer other fields (such as medicine, biology, law and veterinary science, rather than mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science and physics), even when they have comparable mathematical ability, and that family-formation goals extinguish tenure-track aspirations in women more often than in men. The majority of child care, housework and household management is done by women, and women scientists are no exception in assuming this greater burden. Although this second factor affects women in all fields of science, not just math-intensive ones, the lower numbers of women entering graduate programs in math-based fields means that any factor that further reduces their number results in a dearth of tenure-track female faculty. At the top 100 universities in the 1996-to-2005 cohort, less than a third of Ph.D.s in math-intensive fields were women, and in three of those fields less than 15 percent of Ph.D.s were women. Fields such as biology, psychology, sociology and medicine, in which the majority of new Ph.D.s and M.D.s are now women, are able to retain a larger number of women in the tenure-track pipeline, even after family-driven attrition.

Posted by Benjamin Ensor on September 9, 2010
One of the things that continues to surprise me about many banks' multi-channel strategies is how little most banks have integrated their ATMs into those strategies. Cash machines are by far the most commonly used banking channel. According to Forrester's Consumer Technographics data, 74% of adults in Western Europe use a cash machine at least once a month, far more than use either branches or online banking that often.
Despite the introduction of Windows-based operating systems and colour screens, most banks aren't doing much to engage customers on this most-frequent touchpoint. Most do little more than promote the product of the month to all comers. Only a few leaders, like Singapore's OCBC Bank and Spain's La Caixa, have integrated ATMs into their CRM systems, which lets them do clever things like remembering customer's normal withdrawal amount, wishing customers a happy birthday and making products offer that are relevant to that particular customer.

Been trying to keep bees for years now. Had them freeze, starve over winter, devastated by wax moths twice...
Had a wild swarm move in, produced 150 # of honey. I split it with a new queen. The second hive got wax moths because I didn't put an entrance
reducer on it. UGH!!
Last year, I walk-away split the one I had left and the weaker hive (no SBB) froze or something. There was honey in the hive.
The 'other' hive (SBB) is booming.
I want/need honey, but I want to split. But at this point, I'm afraid to do anything.
I have a deep brood chamber, one full medium with capped honey and a medium that's almost full, honey not capped.
It will need a new medium super soon.
Do I split? When?
When can I take the honey? After they have a hundred pounds?

Actually, my understanding of Patrick's way of speech is slightly different from yours. I feel sometimes we cannot interpret his words literally. For instance, "Several years ago I felt more Canadian, but I'm slowly feeling more Chinese". Does that mean he felt less Canadian now?
Another example concerns his remarks on his short program performance at the National. As I have argued in the Men Short Program thread now hidden from view for some fishy reasons, one would have imagined a labored performance and an inflated score based on his own comments.
To me, his comments are mostly streams of expressions to describe his emotions at the moment. "Those points are deserved because I worked hard" should not be interpreted logically and literally. It simply meant "I worked very hard and I'm very happy I received good points." And "I'm the only one though. I'm a loner" was simply an expression of his happiness like a lotto winner yelling, "I won. I'm the only winner." Did he intend to hurt anybody's feeling? No. Was he arrogant? No. He was just caught in his happiness.

"I'm the only one" was said in reference to the "300 Club" - skaters who have achieved a score of 300.
"300 Club" was coined by Rod Black and quickly posed in a question to Patrick. As a club usually has a number of members, so I think he simply finds it funny to be the sole member. And it's the truth. Then of course he was aware of the 300 mark being unofficial and subject to dismissals by naysayers but he decided he was going to have fun with it anyway. I say, "You go Patrick! Celebrate! Loads of year-end awards, the big two one birthday, a New Year, and now a Chinese New Year that comes with a prestigious Club 300 membership! This is one of the most memorable times in your life. Enjoy and savor!"
^^^^ Well, it's my poor writing that caused the challenge from bc. I meant that I had written that there was no need to second guess Patrick, not that there is no need to second guess him because I say so, which was what came across to bc.
eta. This is in response to Bluebonnet above.
Moderator's note: Men's short program thread should be working now. Sorry about that.

I just love one of the winning secrets Patrick revealed: Save a potentially bad quad landing by tacking a 3T after it!
Now everybody can do the same and join the 300 Club.
After watching Patrica Chan's SP & LP on Youtube, I can ignore any arrogance I felt from his interview.
@jettasian, don't understand why you have to be so defensive....you just jumped to conclusions.

User:Michiexile/MATH198/Lecture 1
From HaskellWiki
1 Welcome, administrativia
2 Introduction
Why this course? What will we cover? What do we require?
3 Category
A graph is a collection G0 of vertices and a collection G1 of arrows. The structure of the graph is captured in the existence of two functions, that we shall call source and target, both going from G1 to G1. In other words, each arrow has a source and a target.
We denote by [v,w] the collection of arrows with source v and target w.
A category is a graph with some special structure:
- Each [v,w] is a set and equipped with a composition operation . In other words, any two arrows, such that the target of one is the source of the other, can be composed to give a new arrow with target and source from the ones left out.
We write if .
- The composition of arrows is associative.
- Each vertex v has a dedicated arrow 1v with source and target v, called the identity arrow.
- Each identity arrow is a left- and right-identity for the composition operation.
The composition of with is denoted by . A mnemonic here is that you write things so associativity looks right. Hence, (gf)(x) = g(f(x)). This will make more sense once we get around to generalized elements later on.
3.1 Examples
- The empty category with no vertices and no arrows.
- The category 1 with a single vertex and only its identity arrow.
- The category 2 with two objects, their identity arrows and the arrow .
- For vertices take vector spaces. For arrows, take linear maps. This is a category, the identity arrow is just the identity map f(x) = x and composition is just function composition.
- For vertices take finite sets. For arrows, take functions.
- For vertices take logical propositions. For arrows take proofs in propositional logic. The identity arrow is the empty proof: P proves P without an actual proof. And if you can prove P using Q and then R using P, then this composes to a proof of R using Q.
- For vertices, take data types. For arrows take (computable) functions. This forms a category, in which we can discuss an abstraction that mirrors most of Haskell. There are issues making Haskell not quite a category on its own, but we get close enough to draw helpful conclusions and analogies.
- Suppose P is a set equipped with a partial ordering relation <. Then we can form a category out of this set with elements for vertices and with a single element in [v,w] if and only if v<w. Then the transitivity and reflexivity of partial orderings show that this forms a category.
Some language we want settled:
A category is concrete if it is like the vector spaces and the sets among the examples - the collection of all sets-with-specific-additional-structure equipped with all functions-respecting-that-structure. We require already that [v,w] is always a set.
A category is small if the collection of all vertices, too, is a set.

For that New Yorker who doesn't stop exploring, here are some gifts that might be their speed. (True, this is more or less a wish list for myself, but I thought it would be helpful to others too.)
Free Arts NYC membership: A $35 (minimum) donation to this local educational arts and mentoring nonprofit gets you an entire year of free access to the Bronx Museum, the Dia:Beacon, and the Museum for African Art, plus two-for-one deals at 16 more museums and other benefits. On the donation page, just select "Membership Card is a gift for" and put in the recipient's name.
Brooklyn Brainery gift certificate: At this crowdsourced educational center, you can take inexpensive classes on practically any subject that people are willing to teach. Course titles have included "Abandoned New York City," "How to Kill at Karaoke," "Weird Spices," "Beekeeping 101," "Foreign Alphabets," "Pizza History," "How to Shop in Chinatown," and "Fashion Anthropology through Shoes." Gift certificates start at just $5.
Forgotten New York by Kevin Walsh: Even the most savvy New Yorker will learn something new from this guide book that points out obscure and quirky spots around the five boroughs. As one reviewer quipped, "There are no more nooks nor crannies in NYC left to find hidden gems. Kevin Walsh has found them all." It's $14.95 on Amazon.
AMC's Best Day Hikes Near New York City by Daniel Case: This guide book details 50 day hikes accessible from NYC—many via public transportation. It would be a helpful reference on those weekend days when you just need to take a break from urban life but don't have time for a full-fledged vacation. I have used the Berkshires book of the same series and would highly recommend it. You can get it for $11.67 on Amazon.
The Diner's Deck: Packaged like a deck of playing cards, each set of 52 coupons lets you finally try out some of those restaurants you've been meaning to go to for years. Every card is a $10 gift certificate that can be used with a $30 purchase anytime during 2012. It's $29.95 for a restaurant deck or $19.95 for the bar and lounge version. A good deal if you use more than a few of them throughout the year.
Smartbox Adventure Gift Card: Similar to the Diner's Deck, this is a set of gift certificates for over 60 businesses in the New York area. Activities include horseback riding, rock climbing, biking, paintball, windsurfing, swimming, fencing, paragliding, surfing, skateboarding, and martial arts. It's $58.65 at Barnes & Noble. Smartbox also sells gift card sets focused on restaurants, spas, B&Bs, and family fun.
Unlimited Ride MetroCard: For someone who doesn't already get these automatically every month through their job, an unlimited card frees them up to explore the whole city via subway and bus for a whole week ($29) or month ($104) without having to pay. This pass makes for a good gift because the recipient can begin their free period of transport anytime they want, provided they do so before the expiration date—which is usually pretty far into the future.
Zipcar or Mint membership: Car sharing is a practical option for someone who wants to use a car occasionally, since not all of NYC is easily accessible by public transportation. Membership comes with perks like free gas, convenient pick-up spots, hybrid and other low-emissions vehicles, and lower rates than those of typical car rental companies. Mint only offers cars in Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, while Zipcar is more widespread. Note that you'll need access to the person's driver's license and other personal info to sign them up.
Any other ideas?

I can't answer all of your questions.
It would be best to have Springfield explain the safeties when their site loads for you. Basically, trigger and grip safety. There is an optional manual safety on some of the regular XD models. Exactly dimensions are also on their website.
There is no XDm Compact at the moment, but there is rumored to be one that will be released early next year. I'm looking forward to this myself.
If you want a sub compact, you will have to go with a regular XD model at the moment. That would be the XD9sc or XD40sc.
Good luck with your search.

I am having some computer issues lately and my photoshop keeps crashing. I am trying to find new ways to do quick edits to my pics so I can continue to blog. I am pleased with how these pics came out, considdering the amounts of trouble I was having with them
As you may have noticed I am showing a slightly different look than usual. The look started coming together after getting my hands on these adorable mesh sneakers from Tea Time. I loved them! I am usually not much of a sneakergirl.. I think the look turned out great, I would definately wear it in RL
How cool are these poses from FLY LILY?! I found them at Culture Shock and I absolutely love them! The set is called Vogue and with the right look they would be hot and sexy and fit that theme perfectly… but I think they pull off some awesome breakdance moves aswell! 😉

Gun ideas and questions!
5 replies 1026 views Edited Apr 23, 2014
Can we request a gun for possible patch? It would be awesome to see an AA 12 shotgun in this game. It would most definitely have to be a primary weapon due to firepower and rate of deliver. I use the shotguns allot as my secondary, but I would totally equip a fully automatic shotgun that has minimal recoil such as this one as my primary weapon. It would be great for both onslaught and regular game play.
Not sure if the full version will have this but just a question.

Yeah I use it most of the time in my load outs. The fire rate and power would be greater on the AA12 with virtually no recoil because of gas compression, making it a killing machine for close range. The AR-k has a fire rate if 250 with recoil coming in at 5.5 or something and dealing around 25 damage where as the AA12 would push closer to a 500 or 550 firerate with recoil coming in at 2.5 to 3ish and damage between 50 to 60. I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be an AA12, they can go with something more futuristic if needed. I'm just saying, having a high velocity shot gun as a primary weapon would be awesome for future references lol. Oh and it would be killer if they had an option for slug ammo, but I'm sure post beta we will see allot more ammo options ranging from elemental and what not.
Just suggestions is all.

Bonneville kicks off fire prevention week
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The Bonneville County Fire District held an open house at Fire Station No. 2 Tuesday, in light of Fire Prevention Week.
The district conducted station tours and gave safety tips. People were educated on what to do if a fire were to occur in their home. Firefighters said most fires start in kitchens because people are unaware of safety precautions.
Captain Kim Sibbette said the station's top priority is to make sure people are aware.
"The biggest thing is life safety. The three things we look for is life safety, property conservation and incident stabilization. The first thing is to get everyone out of the house, if we do that, that's success."
The fire district will be hosting open houses the whole week at the following stations from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Oct. 8
Fire Station # 2
3475 Leihm Lane

History is filled with groups of unsung heroes. Until recently, one group that had been largely ignored was the Tuskegee Airmen. They were the first group of African-American fighter pilots in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Their success and heroism helped pave the way for ending racial segregation in the military. The new action-adventure movie Red Tails, produced by George Lucas, is based on their story. It follows a group of Tuskegee Airmen as they receive their first combat mission. "We're proud of this story and this part of American history," says actor Cuba Gooding Jr., who plays Major Emmanuelle Stance in the film.
It is a story that Star Wars director George Lucas has wanted to tell for 23 years. He enlisted filmmaker Anthony Hemingway to direct. Hemingway admits that figuring out what parts of the story to tell, and how to balance the action and drama, was a challenge. "It's been a long journey that thankfully was supported by George to really get it right and to a place where it stands on its own," Hemmingway said during a press event with the cast and crew earlier this month. "It makes a statement and we can walk away being proud of it."
A Change in History
The characters in the movie are fictionalized, but the story behind them is real. The Tuskegee Airmen began as an experiment by the Civil Aeronautics Authority at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. The Authority trained African-American soldiers to become combat pilots. Up until then, African Americans had been allowed only to be ground soldiers in segregated troops. About 450 soldiers became the original Tuskegee Airmen. (Click here to read a Kid Reporter's interview with an original Tuskegee Airman)
The airmen faced racism and a lack of support in the military. Military personnel considered the airmen second-class citizens. Some military personnel held ignorant views. They did not think African Americans had the intelligence or skill to fly fighter planes. When the Tuskegee Airmen were finally given a chance, they proved their critics wrong. They performed with courage and skill. During the thousands of missions the airmen flew, they did not lose any of the bombers they escorted. The airmen shot down more than a hundred enemy aircraft.
The name "Red Tails" comes from the distinctive paint the airmen added to their P-51 Mustang planes. That mark eventually brought them respect from fellow Air Force pilots. "When they found out how good the Tuskegee Airmen were at saving their lives, their attitudes changed," said Dr. Roscoe Brown, an original Tuskegee Airman and a consultant for the film. "These guys were rock stars," actor Nate Parker, who plays Marty "Easy" Julian, said. "They were celebrated in the black press. These were men who aspired to excellence in every element of their life, and they flew fighter planes. What's cooler than that?"
Lessons on Set
Brown and other surviving Tuskegee Airmen were regular visitors to the film's set in Prague, Czech Republic. "I would always find out another interesting fact about their accomplishments. Every day was eye opening," Gooding said of their visits.
For the actors, it was hard to imagine how young the airmen were when they flew the planes. Many of the airmen were just 18 years old. "I'm learning that these teenagers were something more than we could have ever imagined," Terrance Howard, who plays Colonel A.J. Bullard, said. In the movie, his character has to argue with the military brass in Washington, D.C., to earn opportunities for the airmen.
Red Tails is packed with in-flight action scenes featuring P-51s and other military planes. According to the cast, the scenes are true to the maneuvers the airmen made during their missions. "The P-51s were the racing car of the time. It was sleek, it could turn, it could dive, it could climb," Brown said. "It was the best fighter plane ever made."
To prepare for their roles, the cast went through a boot camp, got piloting lessons from the original airmen, and had the opportunity to fly in military planes. The actors experienced the loops, turns and forces the pilots were up against. Elijah Kelley, who plays Samuel "Joker" George, described his amazement at the strength the pilots needed to operate the planes. "They were superheroes, literally," Kelley said.
The film, rated PG-13 for scenes of war violence and strong language, opens in theaters today. Watch the video below to see the cast meet with some of the original airmen.

I thought that these kind of videos would fit the moment, with all these F2P newbies around, but meh. Better having more kill montages I guess.
Even though I did post one kill montage, it's complete BS how your video isn't on there.
It's informative and simply helps.

The apartment, in a grand old house built in early 20th century, occupies the entire ground floor with level street access and sheltered garden courtyards front & back.
If not for the schoolhouse across the road we would watch the ferry come and go beyond the park less than 100m away (60yds). A peaceful and safe environment 50m (30yds) from the shopping village famous for boutiques, cafes and restaurants and with a 7/11 supermarket.
Short stays are welcome but so too are longer stays of 1 or 2 months. Many guests are artists, performers and professionals working in Sydney, this place offers comforts and freedom of a home lifestyle. **Special rates can be negotiated for long stays and exclusive use is also possible, enquire before booking**
The large bedroom has a queen size bed with feather pillows and heavy damask cotton sheets. Simple multi-function storage allows easy relief from suitcase living, even if for short stays. The tree-top window overlooks a quiet private courtyard. Let the birds wake you up..literally!, many guests comment on the extraordinary sounds of nature so close to the city.
The kitchen is well equipped and has a private guest fridge. The paved courtyard off the kitchen even has a BBQ for enjoying Sydney's amazing weather. Laundry facilities include washer and dryer. Towels and linen are all provided and changed as needed, so to is room cleaning.
This is a perfect location to visit Sydney, whether for work or pleasure. It's close proximity to the city, while sheltered from the hustle & bustle, offers welcome homely relief after a busy day.
Sydney downtown is less than 4km (2.5miles) away. From there it's 1 minute walk to Opera House, The Rocks 'Old Town', Botanical Gardens, Central Business District and main transport terminal. The fastest way is ferry in 10 minutes, train (Edgecliff) in 15 minutes or bus in 25 minutes.
If here to work, commuting by ferry offers a spectacular way to start the day, arriving at Circular Quay between Opera House and bridge. Many guests flag this as the highlight of their stay.
If you catch the ferry in the opposite direction, you'll soon be in beautiful Watson's Bay - with clifftop nature reserve, beaches, more restaurants and cafes, and from 'The Gap' a breathtaking 360 vista of ocean and harbour, including spectacular views of the city in the distance.
House rulesNo pets
No smoking permitted inside
There are very few fixed rules for this household, I am pretty easy going.
Common sense, courtesy and respect are the guiding principles.
The place is well laid out to allow private space for all.
Security is a high priority, and although a safe neighbourhood, vigilance is practiced and expected. Note: your possessions are NOT insured by the host.

Reviews of this property
With Stefan, we had a very friendly, always helpful host. He always had good advises for us and even supported beyond what could be expected as normal. The appartment is very nice and situated in a nice, quite neighbourhood. We much enjoyed staying in this place and can recommend it.
Very nice appartement with a nice garden. Double Bay is a nice part of Sydney. I felt very save there. Stefan knows lot's of nice places to go, beautifull walks, parks, beaches, etc.
And Stefan likes to talk with his guest.
We had the pleasure of staying with Stefan in his beautiful apartment for New Year's despite booking the accomodations on rather short notice. Even during the booking process, Stefan already showed himself as a great potential host as he was communicative and quickly got back to me regarding the booking. We communicated several times before our arrival and every time, Stefan was quick to reply and offered up help where needed. After our arrival in Sydney, he proved to be a gracious host with great tips and recommendations. It was great chatting with him and we never felt crowded while sharing the living space with him. We had a grand time in Sydney and loved the closeness of his apartment to the city, the various ways we had to get into town (we took both, the trains and the ferry, and both were quick and easy to use), the fact that he provided maps as well as transportation cards used to tap on and off the public transportation and the general friendliness we were met by, not only by him but by Sydney in general.
Stefan is a very friendly and good host who gave us a lot of ideas and suggestions that made our stay more interesting. The kitchen is well outfitted with all necessary cooking equipment. The room was very adequate for a short stay in the nice area of Double Bay. We enjoyed the garden having a BBQ with Stefan and found the conversations we had really interesting and witty.
Double Bay is a fine location from where you can discover and enjoy Sydney. At harbourside, close to the center and the beaches and very nice to discover the surroundings by jogging. The room has a perfect bed and the kitchen everything to make breakfest and dinner. We had a nice BBQ with Stefan in the garden. Stefan was very helpfull and has many ideas that made our stay special. Thanks Stefan, we hade a great time!
First of all, great house! The bed is very comfy, the bedroom is calm, bathroom is clean...all you need for a great stay. Double Bay is charming and quiet but also very practical to go to the city. Stefan always has good tips and knows the city very well.
But the best thing at Stefan's place is that you're gonna meet Stefan who is an exceptional host, a great person and a brillant mind.
Do not hesitate !!
From the first moment we entered Stefan's house, he was the most kind and ready to help person ever. He is a really interesting person with really interesting conversation to have with. He show us the best things to do in our first days in Sydney and we definitely appreciated all his suggestions. The best we could ever get. Hope to see him again at least for a beer!! Thank you so much Stefan!!
This place I highly recommend.
Firstly stefan is an easy going host available when you need him and gives you all the informations you want to know. Secondly there is no better place to start exploring the city and surroundings. .few minutes to all public transport to beaches and best of all great shopping and pubs/restaurants around the corner.
His little garden is a lovely retreat after a busy day. Inside the house nicely decorated but to our taste a bit dark
We had a really good holiday. We spent about three weeks at Stefan 's house. From time to time the weather was cold so also in the apartment was chilly. Sydney has also pretty humid climate which you could also felt inside.
Stefan was very frienly and he gave a lot of good tips for making our vacation better. We saw a lot diverse Sydney than if we were just experienced travel guide suggestions. Every morning he asked about our plans for the day, then he gave his good tips - fortunately, we followed those. :) The apartment was conveniently located, train and ferry station's was close by.
Stefan is a nice and easygoing host. It's an old building with its own back garden where you could have a nice breakfast or dinner when weather is good. The ferry station is quite near, only a 3 min walk, but the ferry connection to Sydney CBD isn't very often, especially on weekends, so we chose train as our main transportation. But a ferry cruise is worth doing because the scene is especially good when it nearing the circular quay, as Stefan recommended.

well mine were sold on Ebay. at least they went for money to someone else who might actually enjoy them.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
well mine were sold on Ebay. at least they went for money to someone else who might actually enjoy them.
when i give a quilt, i hate to hear "it's so pretty, i'll never use it". i tell the person, ok, then give it back! i want the quilt used/loved, and if in a few years it's the dog's quilt. ok then! but truly, i'd like it to be used for a few years by the humans first
as far as the person selling the quilt on ebay....oh, that would hurt!
Welcome to the club! We will all belong eventually and many may not know they are long time members already. LOL
Got fabric?
I gave a wonderful Lady a quilt and she likes to tell me how much her two cats love laying on them. I just cringe and tell her nicely that my cats are not allowed on my quilts. I know she washes the daylight out of them. When I give a quilt away I try not to think about it's treatment. Easy to do unless they tell me about it.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
I would be more than a little miffed if someone gave the quilt to their dog. However I would have no problem making a quilt for their dog if they asked me to.
Some people just don't understand the effort and love that goes into a quilt. Their loss.
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.
About twenty years ago, I made my DS a quilt (it was one of my first ones). It was a simple one, but very striking in black, white, and a touch of turquoise. Anyway, the dog tore it to shreds. I was really upset. Fast forward to today -- I am working on another quilt for him for his 40th bday. I know the new dog may get it, but hopefully the significant other or DGS will convince how much work and love went into it. And maybe he has grown up a little... I'll post when it is finished.
Linda in Missouri
One of the quilts I made is protecting a sofa from their dogs.....the dogs love it! Another is protecting a sofa from spills...the owners of these quilts are best friends....
I figure that at least they are using the quilts...
My Tinkerbelle has 2 quilts...and she is only 10#. Both were made just for her....she loves them...but she also loves to be on my chenille pillow shams.
Tink's Mom (My name is really Susie)
A few years ago I made a quilt for the baby daughter of a wonderful therapist who was helping me through a very rough patch in my life. When I gave the quilt to her (to give to her daughter) she said it was too beautiful to use, she'd have to figure out a way to hang it. I said oh no no no. I WANT this quilt to be on the floor with a baby on top. I want it barfed on, peed on, washed many times, and wore out. Two years later she told me her daughter LOVES that quilt and has to sleep with it every night. The binding is pieced out of different colors of fabric, and she said her daughter picks a different color to hold on to every night when she goes to sleep. That made me so happy, I cried.
On the other end of the spectrum is my SIL. She's strongly hinted about a quilt, but I am reluctant. She is very conscious of how things look; everything has to be perfect. She changes her deco every 18 months or so. She sells things at garage sales when she is done with them. I'm afraid I'll make a quilt for her and it will be gone after 2 years, and I will resent that and it will affect our relationship.

Microsoft will let you run custom apps from Office ribbons
An upcoming update to Microsoft Office will allow you to essentially pin apps to the Microsoft Office ribbon, adding to its extensibility.
An upcoming update to Microsoft Office will allow you to essentially pin apps to the Microsoft Office ribbon, adding to its extensibility.
Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 voice recognition software has been released in Australia, with digital downloads available now and boxed versions of the application available from 28 August. NaturallySpeaking 12 is the first major new version of the core Dragon desktop software in two years following the launch of version 11 in July 2010.
Microsoft Office 365, a suite of business-focused, cloud-based applications that was recently released in beta, is actually a repackaging and updating of various Microsoft offerings -- optimized for the cloud.
It's taken two years for Nuance to update its market-leading voice recognition software Dragon NaturallySpeaking. We liked version 10, so what's new in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium?
Squeezed by desktop competitors (Microsoft's powerhouse Office suite and the free, open-source OpenOffice) and Web alternatives (apps from Google, Zoho, and others), can Corel WordPerfect Office X5 bring something to the productivity software table? The suite does deliver some unique features--most notably in PDF support and--with the addition of Nuance PaperPort to the suite--in document management. But WordPerfect Office X5 remains a tough sell for general business users who are reasonably satisfied with Microsoft's core Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps, or their free Web counterparts.
Microsoft Office is the de facto standard for productivity tools, to the point at which word processors and spreadsheets are now called "office programs". But Office is costly, and it's bloated with features few users ever need or even know about. Budget-conscious users and system-resource skinflints can look to several alternatives: One such is Office 2010 by Ashampoo and/or SoftMaker. In this review, we examine Ashampoo Office 2010.
Based on our hands-on testing of the public beta of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, this product allows IT departments to run applications such as enterprise search, content management, collaboration and business intelligence on a single platform.
It has taken Microsoft a long time to bring its flagship Office suite to the Web and now it finally has with Office 2010.
Corel's lightweight Corel Home Office Suite includes the Corel Write word processor, Corel Calculate spreadsheet, and Corel Show presentation creator. It's a definite improvement on the company's previous suites in terms of usability.
Adobe's Acrobat.com isn't a design tool, but being from the creative app giant and offering office-type tools that most creatives will need for the (boring) business part of their jobs, we knew you'd be interested -- so decided to take a look.
Ashampoo Presentations offers most of Microsoft PowerPoint's functionality, at a fraction of the price. Ashampoo Presentations forms part of the Ashampoo Office suite.
Using UK's Kalender you'll be able to easily set up single events or recurring events, as well as colour code them and add unique icons to make it easy to recognise them. The program includes holidays, so that you won't need to enter them yourself; they'll already be scheduled in.
Search engine Google has revealed that the files of some Google Docs users have been shared with unauthorised users.
Microsoft is bending its Office franchise toward netbooks and is developing packages that are unique to that market, according to the head of the company's business division.
Microsoft's Word has always been an impressively powerful piece of software, with dozens, if not hundreds, of features most people never knew existed. The new "Ribbon" interface in Word 2007 attempts to make some of those features easier to find and use, but there are still a lot of really handy features that you may not even know to look for.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place potatoes in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover and steam until tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Add green beans to the steamer, cover and steam until tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the green beans with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Transfer the potatoes and beans to a towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, dill and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and green beans, salad greens, cucumber and tomatoes; toss gently to coat.
Step 3
Divide the salad and smoked salmon between 2 plates.

Kingsport driver allegedly fires shots at teens
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Two Kingsport girls are terrified after police say a grown man followed them home and later threatened them with a gun, even firing three gunshots.
On Saturday afternoon at about 4:40 pm, the two friends hit the road in Kingsport and headed to a home on Noble Street.
The teens' families, who wouldn't go on camera, tell us another driver, Robert Arnold, became irate after the girls went ahead of him at a nearby 4-way stop.
Police say Arnold followed them to the home on Noble street and threw a can at their car.
The girls went inside the house and left a short time later. Police say Arnold was waiting nearby with a gun and when the teens saw him, they went back to the home and told some adults, including the father of one of the girls.
Officers say they all got back in the car and found Arnold lurking down a nearby street, sitting in his car. "The father of one of the girls got out and approached the vehicle to figure out what the problem was. At that point, the individual fired three shots out the passenger window toward the father and the people in the car," says Tom Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
They took off and called 911.
This all allegedly happened in Danny Woods' front yard. "I was in the back raking some leave when I heard what was apparently three shots," says Woods.
Police stopped Arnold on Granby Road and charged him with four counts of aggravated assault.
No one was hurt.

Dam leak muddies Mirror Pond's future further
Many wondering: Could new look be permanent?
BEND, Ore. - There's a mini-waterfall gushing from the century-old Pacific Power hydro dam by Newport Avenue in Bend -- and in only a few short days, Mirror Pond has gone from glassy to gunky.
"It's pretty nasty looking," one man riding his bike over the Drake Park footbridge said Monday.
"It's one heck of a way to keep the kids from jumping off the bridge," said a man who chose to go by the moniker 'Neighbor Norm.'
Another young woman said, "I'd rather look at the park than the river now."
And the timing of the leak is interesting -- right in the middle of a heated debate over the future of Mirror Pond, the iconic waterway created by the dam on the Deschutes River in downtown Bend.
Project leaders say if the dam is removed, the pond will look more like it does currently -- large exposed banks and a narrow and more swift channel.
"What people are seeing now is close," Project Manager Jim Figurski said Monday. "But I would expect that if the dam went away that water levels would drop even further, and you would see most of the silt banks exposed."
Community leaders are still looking at several solutions to deal with the buildup of silt choking the pond -- dredge it, take out the dam, do a partial dredge, or do nothing.
Homeowners said they can't imagine the view getting worse.
"I'm sure the property owners around here will take a hit," Norm said.
Norm owns a house right on the waterfront. He said his home is so unique, he doesn't think it would lose value. However, he said he'd like to see the pond stay, but thinks a new look could work.
"We could still create the pond effect with a buffer and still open it up for fish and more natural river," Norm said.
Figurski said if the dam is removed, the banks would get a makeover.
"(You would see the banks) planted, see them shaped and modified a certain bit, so you could enhance them as much as possible," Figurski said.
"Whatever they do, I'm sure it will still be beautiful," said the man on the bike.
As far as what Pacific Power will do with its dam, that's still a mystery. But officials say the damage might not be worth repairing.
And that's leaving people wondering if the pond's new look is permanent.
"It certainty doesn't look like Mirror Pond," said a Bend man. "That would be a sad thing, because I enjoyed Mirror Pond the way it used to be."
Mirror Pond will keep draining for the time being. Pacific Power officials said it will be at least a couple months before they can start investigating the damage that led to the leak. They say they first must secure the proper permits to bring the water levels even lower.
Right now, the company is not generating any power from the dam.
The Mirror Pond Steering Committee is also behind schedule to make any decisions on what will happen with the pond. A decision now is not expected until at least December.

Next time you put on the new Spoon single to make that subway ride go by a little faster, or turn up Gnarls Barkley on your iPod to drown out the background noise at the office, consider what musical escapism means to troops in Iraq.
Think of them blasting whatever CDs they can find from a shitty disc player (whose life expectancy in that desert sand is just a couple months). Think of the soldier from Worcester nursing his ration of two Budweisers, drowning in the sound of 50 Cent and Beyoncé as strobe lights flash in some Spartan military mess hall.
Think of the scenes in Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein's documentary Gunner Palace, which, for showing how life is lived in this war, should be mandatory viewing. Think of gonzo Specialist Stuart Wilf — wild-eyed, lanky in an Exhumed T-shirt, leaping around with guttural death-grind screams, strumming a tinny guitar, purposefully oblivious to the RPG making impact in the distance.
Think of Specialist Richmond Shaw, using freestyle verse to exorcise the demons of those dusty Baghdad blocks, describing the theater of war as "a place where the street lights never come on/And every time you step outside it's like hearing a sad song." Reminding the audience at home of one inescapable truth: "For y'all it's just a show. But we live in this movie."
From MRES to MTV
American military personnel use music as a way to dispel stress, to steel their nerves for dangerous missions, to give voice to their fears and frustrations. They also find themselves filling the longueurs of endless, deadening downtime with awful TV, cheesy music videos from Europe and the Mideast, and whatever movies — good or bad — they can get their hands on. (One soldier I spoke with says he "watched O Brother, Where Art Thou? about 27,000 times.")
As fascinating as it is to speak to US military personnel about the ways pop culture manifests itself in Mesopotamia, it's doubly interesting to examine how veterans' tastes have changed upon their return to the States. So many stories about veterans are told from political angles, or focus on financial questions, or health care. Few examine how mass media are used as coping mechanisms over there, and back here. But that's exactly what happens.
Enlisted men and women ship off to fight and return home utterly changed. They are witness to unspeakable acts abroad that we can only barely comprehend. It can't be easy to transition back from the land of IEDs and MREs to the land of iTunes and MTV. What does it feel like to depose a dictator then return to a country where Britney and Lindsay rule the news?
Not good, says Marine Randy Cornejo, 26. "It's crap. When you got little things making big news, when Paris Hilton's getting as much coverage as when the towers went down, something's wrong."
Some troops have become hardened back home. The music they listen to seems devoid of substance, the clubs they haunt soulless. While some use certain songs or movies to remember their wartime experiences, others are just trying to forget, and need music to calm their nerves, to fall asleep. Still others are using music and images and words to relay the essential existential experience of soldiers in Iraq — and to work through their own conflicted feelings as they do.

I have a breeder friend that has a puppy that needs a ride to North Dakota.
He is big into the age structure of a young puppy's developement and want to get it into it's new home before it turns nine weeks old the begining of November. Anyhow, I was wondering if you might be interested in having a little pup ride out west with you? The breeder and the new owner are flexible as far as getting the pup into your hands and picking it up from you in ND. The breeder says there is a full tank of gas in it for anyone who can help him out.
Let me know if you might be interested. He needs to know what plans to make by Oct 10th or has to make airline arrangements. Either way, let me know if you're open to the idea.
Thanks Everyone

Just cuz the MRI came back negative doesn't mean he is gonna be able to play. I actually hope the Skins start him & it only aggravates it even worse.
I swear if the Skins can beat Balt & then we, who have more O weapons than the Skins do, can't, I'll go ballistic! That Ravens D is not that good anymore, we should lite em up. I really feel that Coach Coughlin should tell Gilbride to unleash the playbook & lite up the scoreboard! 1 game up with 3 to go is not the time to play conservative Offense! That cost us last Monday nite bigtime!
To be fair, Killdrive didn't get conservative vs the Saints...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
I won't be surprised if the Browns win. They won three in a row and rg3 might be out. Also the steelers play the Cowboys. The steelers aren't doing so well lately so they probably will treat this like a must win game. I
Thanks alot Browns! Thanks to the Giants inability to take care of business, we sadly have to resort once again to relying on other teams to help us get into the playoffs.
Skins in 1st place...us...fighting it out with 3-4 other teams for the 6th seed! From 6-2 & 3 games up, to this! Pathetic!
Eat a brick boys.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Undercover in Vietnam: Exile is high price reporters pay for press freedom
In the third of CPJ's four-part "Undercover in Vietnam" series on press freedom in Vietnam, CPJ Southeast Asia Representative Shawn Crispin interviews a reporter living in exile after challenging the censorship imposed in newsrooms. The final part, to be published Tuesday, reveals how prominent bloggers remain behind bars despite the margin for critical debate opening. The series concludes with recommendations for the Vietnamese government and international bodies.
On December 9, 2012, mainstream journalist and sometimes blogger Pham Doan Trang was arrested while reporting on an anti-China protest in Ho Chi Minh City. She was taken to a rehabilitation camp for commercial sex workers, where she was interrogated by a group of seven officials.

@OZZ...I know what you mean. At first, I thought Miller was going to be able to hang with Diaz. NOPE! I cannot help but cheer against the Diaz brothers because of their attitude, but I cannot dispute their talent. Good win for Nate and he was classy after the match, have to give it up for him.

Just being the first to finish Jim Miller, let alone actually submit him, is an impressive feat. Nate definitely deserves the title shot in arguable the most talent-heavy division in the UFC.
However would be highly cool if he didn't wait for the Henderson-Edgar outome and took a fight with Anthony Pettis, even though his #1 contender status has been engraved in stone.

Unsure, the phone connection was really bad, he mentioned it in passing and was going on about the hookers having just rocked up and being fresh out of cocaine even though he "had bought a Kiliminjaro worth of it". I can't listen to that **** for too long, I begin to miss hanging out with him, he always bought the highest quality ****.GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.

Juniper Up 5%: MKM Ups to Buy on Carrier Spending, Cuts Cisco to Hold
MKM Partners's Michael Genovese today goes opposite ways on networking titans Juniper Networks (JNPR) and Cisco Systems (CSCO), raising his rating on the former to Buy from Neutral, and cutting Cisco's rating to Neutral from Buy, based on shifting expectations for growth.
Cisco, whose price target he cuts to $26 from $28, is up against tougher financial comparisons, year over ear, in coming quarters, and it doesn't look like order rates will pick up as he'd previously expected:
Cisco's product orders grew 4% y/y in 4QFY13 (July), which was consistent with 3QFY13. Because of ongoing weakness in Emerging Markets and the U.S. Federal shutdown, we now expect Cisco's product orders will likely be up about 4% y/y again in 1QFY14. The problem with this is it's a wasted opportunity for Cisco to accelerate product orders against easing comps given the y/y product order rate was 4% in 3QFY12, 2% in 4QFY12 and 0% in 1QFY13. The comps stop getting easier after the current quarter with 2QFY13 up 0% and 3QFY13 product orders up 4%.
The U.S. government shutdown doesn't help things:
It is negative for Cisco that the shutdown has occurred in the final month of 1QFY14 since the final month is always the most important of the quarter for networking companies. We believe Cisco's typical monthly linearity within a quarter is approximately 30-30-40. Our checks suggest the shutdown has had a negative impact on U.S. Enterprise spending but has generally not hurt Service Provider capex. Greater Service Provider exposure (relative to Cisco) is one of the reasons we upgraded Juniper Networks.
Genovese cut his estimates for Cisco this year to $50. 3 billion in revenue and $2.11 per share in net profit from a prior estimate of $50.8 billion and $2.14 per share.
Juniper, on the other hand, is poised to benefit from rising spending by telecom operators after two years holding off on investment:
While not the main factor in our decision to upgrade, we have a near-term preference for SP exposure over Enterprise due to the negative impact on Enterprise and Government spending from the U.S. Federal shutdown. Juniper gets nearly two-thirds of revenues from the SP market. Cisco (CSCO, Neutral, $23.18, $26FV), which we downgraded to Neutral from Buy this morning, has only 25% exposure to SPs. Service Provider Core Router market and Juniper market share likely to turn up. The SP Core Router market has been flat to down for the last two years, according to multiple industry analyst reports, as carriers have delayed purchases, run networks 'hotter' and encouraged vendors to develop new hybrid Router/Switches like the Juniper PTX. Based on our checks we expect the Core Router/Switch market to return to mid-to-high single digit y/y growth starting in 2H13. Juniper should regain some share now that the multi-chassis T4000 is ready for deployment and, more importantly, due to its lead in the new hybrid category with PTX. The strength Juniper saw in Core Router orders in 2Q13 should begin to turn into meaningful revenues in 2H1.
Genovese raised his estimates for Juniper for this year to $4.68 billion in revenue and $1.25 in EPS from a prior $4.63 billion and $1.20. For next year, he models $5.01 billion and $1.48 per share, up from his prior estimate of $4.92 billion and $1.37.
Cisco shares today are down 30 cents, or 1.3%, at $22.88. Juniper stock is up 98 cents, or almost 5%, at $21.08.

Finalists for the Make My Movie competition are in full PR mode, with video pitches going live this morning.
After deciding on the final 12, organisers gave teams one week to provide a video pitch of between one and four minutes in a style that best demonstrates their idea and their ability to make that idea into a movie with a budget of $100,000.
"Getting teams to do these surprise video pitches under a tight deadline was to really see who could step up to the plate and also to gauge their ability to put something coherent together under pressure," says organiser Ant Timpson.
"If you are serious about winning this thing, you drop everything and make something to impress us. And you pull everything together to convince us that you are the real deal."
Teams are using social media to drum up as many "likes" as possible, with the public's opinion effectively representing one member of the judging panel.
The public have until Wednesday, November 30 to have their say, before the judging panel reconvene to decide on a final two, to be revealed on December 8.
"When we get down to the final two, we are going to increase the pressure on them even more and the one that doesn't buckle will be the one who ends up winning this competition," says Timpson.
"It will also help to deliver a fantastic script, which if they're in the top 12 they should have this underway now anyway."
*Watch the pitches and vote here. Follow Make My Movie on Twitter here, like Make My Movie on Facebook here.

Hey guys, Ive got some in laws that live in tuscaloosa and do some duck hunting and I want to be able to go with them when I come in town. I got a 18ft. prodrive boat and wondering how you guys usually do your public hunting. I dont need any specific spots or anything Im just talking about what kind of areas do you guys tend to hunt?
Around my neck of the woods we tend to hunt big resoviours and just find the back waters of these but my BIL over there says most of the ducks around there stay off the lakes and usually do the rivers. You guys mainly hunt rivers or do you try the lakes sometimes?
