Images: 10 Gross things in your home
Science Channel says dust mites, microbes in lots of places
Home sweet home? Think again. The Science Channel says there are 10 "gross things" in your house that you should know about before assuming your house is clean.
We've compiled a rundown of these "gross things" in this slideshow. Check it out.
1. Your Books and Papers. According to the Science Channel, book lice could exist in your home.
The small, colorless insects feed on the mold and mildew that grow on books. They don't bite, of course, but they can reach infestation proportions pretty quickly.
2. Your Sheets. The Science Channel reports that people shed as many as 1.5 million skin flakes every hour.
That can lead to dust mites. The Science Channel also reports that the washing machine can also be a source of bacteria, so make sure to wash bedsheets separately.
3. Your Tootbrush. The Science Channel says the average toothbrush has plenty of "microbe ready" hiding spots in between its bristles.
"If you don't close the lid when you flush, you can actually aerosolize all the filth," the Science Channel says. And a toothbrush, with it's moist, bacteria-friendly environment and plenty of microbe-ready hiding spots in between its bristles, might be the home of a bacterium's dreams.
4. Your Drain. Most bathroom bugs enter through cracks, crevices and doors, according to the Science Channel.
But those same bugs end up in bathtubs and kitchen sinks because they get trapped -- or because they gravitate to the food trapped in your kitchen drain.
5. Your Refrigerator. According to the Science Channel, cold temperatures don't actually stop the spread of mold, at least not completely. It just slows it.
Mold also likes to move around, making plastic wrap a good idea!
6. Your Garbage Pail. This one seems kind of obvious, right? The Science Channel defined spoilage as "microb caused decomposition" that leads to a smelly trash bin.
So when your significant other (or parents, for the kids reading this) tell you to take out the trash, don't ask questions. Just do it!
7. Your Washcloth or Sponge. Just like we need water to live, so do bacteria and viruses. The Science Channel says microbes like humid environments and they like to hide from UV rays in light.
That makes the sponge in your kitchen sink or shower a perfect place for them.
8. Your Vacuum Cleaner or Bag. You can throw out the bag of your vacuum cleaner, but the Science Channel says mold, bacteria and fecal matter can still be found in the vacuum cleaner's brushes.
Carpets can especially be nasty. The Science Channel said as many as 200,000 bacteria can lurk per square inch.
9. Your Toilet. OK, this one seems kind of obvious as well. And what about sitting on the infamous toilet seat?
The Science Channel says, "Look, you probably wouldn't want to lick it, but a toilet seat is far from the dirtiest thing out there."
10. You. We hate to say it, but your body is home to a wide array of microbes, according to the Science Channel, which says as many as 182 different species of bacteria live on your skin alone.
The best bet here is to avoid human contact -- but how much fun would that be? Hope you enjoyed the slideshow.

Most of us do what we can for the environment, but Rik Hill's actual job is to protect the planet. "Whoa, look at that!" he says, pointing at a moving blip of light on a computer screen. "It's an unknown object. We just discovered one."
From This Story
Related Content
We're in an observatory on the summit of Mount Lemmon, a 9,000-foot peak north of Tucson, Arizona.
Hill's boss, Ed Beshore, leans in and nods. "That's an N-E-O," he says, referring to a near Earth object. "It's a nice one. It's bright, and it's moving fast."
Hill, an astronomer, sends an e-mail to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the Minor Planet Center monitors hundreds of thousands of small bodies in our solar system. The message gives the object's coordinates at the time of its discovery so other astronomers can track it. And they'll want to: an NEO is any asteroid or comet that will come within about 30 million miles of Earth's orbit.
We'll find out in the morning whether this NEO poses a threat. For now, Hill leans back, a cup of strong coffee in hand, and grins. "It's not even midnight, and it's a good night already," he says. By dawn, he will spot two more.
I went to Mount Lemmon to see the top NEO hunters in action. Beshore and Hill are part of the Catalina Sky Survey, which has found about 2,500 NEOs in the past decade—including 577 in 2009, some 70 percent of the total discovered that year. The rocks range from the size of tables to mountains. Most will bypass Earth. But NEOs have plowed into our planet countless times before, and will do so again.
In October 2008, the survey's Rich Kowalski observed a small NEO from this telescope. Within two hours, the Minor Planet Center used sightings by others to chart its trajectory. The asteroid would hit Earth in less than a day. Observers worldwide locked onto it, capturing 570 telescope images. NASA scientists calculated it would strike the Nubian Desert of northern Sudan. It was only the size of a small pickup truck, and most of it would burn up in the atmosphere. Even so, news of the imminent impact went all the way to the White House.
About 19 hours after Kowalski discovered it, asteroid 2008 TC3 lit up the sky above Sudan with the energy of more than 1,000 tons of TNT. Black fragments as large as apples landed in the desert. Two months later, NASA-led researchers collected hundreds of the extraterrestrial rocks.
In one sense, spotting the incoming asteroid was a triumph, because it demonstrated that astronomers can detect even a small projectile heading our way. But the feat was also sobering, because they saw it too late to do anything about it. Hill and his fellow NEO hunters hope to detect large asteroids sooner, preferably years or decades in advance.
"It's the only natural disaster we can stave off," says Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's NEO command center at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.

Crush Of The Week: Jake T. Austin
Find out why we're loving The Fosters cutie this week!
So listen: I love a good PLL episode as much as the next girl, but between the season finale and the premiere of Twisted (so good, BTW!), The Fosters is definitely not getting the accolades it deserves. The pilot premiered on ABC Family this week and it's amazing! Also, it just happens to star hot guy Jake T. Austin. Remember him from Wizards of Waverly Place? I mean, how can you stare at Jake and not want to run your fingers through his wavy brown hair?
In case you've somehow escaped all the promos, The Fosters is about a bunch of kids who live together and are raised by two lesbian foster moms. Each teen has his or her fair share of drama! Oh, and it's produced by Jennifer Lopez. Cool, right?!
Jake's also lending his adorable face to a good cause—he's the newest ambassador of the Staples For Students program, which makes sure students across the country have all the supplies they need to start school. Awww. A hot guy with a heart of gold? Love that.
Who are you crushing on this week? Share it in the comments!


text: The blockbuster opens tonight. Anyone going to a midnight screening? I was lucky to screen it. Liked it but not as much as the second film with the brilliant Heath Ledger. My biggest peeve -- I couldn't understand a third of what Bane said. I have a few mildly-spoilerish thoughts for people watching it tonight, but will still use spoiler tags. Spoiler Did they explain how Bruce got back into Gotham? I took a bathroom break at that point Spoiler Did Selina give off a bisexual vibe? Spoiler Blake's backstory is quite different than traditional lore, if they decide to continue with his character.

Any MARINE who is against guns (anti-gun) is a "pinko communist cocksucker who just sighed his own death warrant!" B2B

so Im a POS for for supporting background checks (and ONLY background checks)? the same people that say background checks are BS are the same calling for drug testing people on welfare.
Theres odd ducks in all branches of the military. Hell they even let in the openly queer.
Clan MacPherson
3531...Nah, you're a POS because you shoot a gun like the one in your avitar :-)
So I thought I would read the comments and damn some Marines are stupid. Everyone is arguing about being grunt or POG and who's opinion is worth more.
Either way they both have their opionions which is the beauty of the 1st Amendment and the beauty of the 2nd Amendment is that the only person who can waive that right is yourself. So if one wants them he can have them and if one doesn't then he doesn't have to have them, but saying someone else is a disgrace to the uniform because you don't like him standing up for a right you chose not to excercise is dumb.
The other kid can give his opinion but when a comment includes "Sure it infringes that right" should never leave your mouth. I believe in background checks but trying to say the 2nd Amendment only applied then but things are different now because of new weapons is ignorant.
By that logic does he feel the government gets to rifle through his cell phone, texts, e-mail, etc... because those things weren't around nor could they be concieved when the 4th Amendment was written? Once again choosing to pick and choose which rights are more important than others makes this kid's argument a moot point.
Daddy always told me, "It's better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
And 3531, you can't be a POS. Ya'll don't make POS's in the motor pool

Whoever thinks that "EVERY" Marine is a front line fighter is sadly mistaken.
For every Marine front line fighter, there is twenty (20) Marines that are just support.
What the front line fighter thinks (pro-gun) is shadowed by the ginks in the background.
They are all Marines, but, there is a difference! Not "EVERY" Marine is a MARINE!!!!

Back ground checks don't work, Waiting periods, don't work, Bans don't work, .. they don't stop felons from getting guns.. they don't don't stop crazy people from killing other people.. they don't do shit..they just make the honest person, jump through hoops and red tap..and make them into a Criminal or victim of a criminal.. If your a Marine and think the Citizens of your country; that you swore to protect and defend should be prohibited from owning weapons to defend their family, friends and country.. you should just put a gun in your mouth and eat a bullet.. because your a disgraced to the uniform..and have not upheld your oath to the marines, god or country...
Boston ( as in 1 ) is Giving Out Facts and DiOrio ( as in two ) is Giving Out Assumptions
I think Boston needs to slap the white off of DiOiro, for not standing up for his Country ( besides serving for it, thats completely another Question ).
I would also see out of this, is someone paid DiOrio off for saying the Things Hes Saying, like in a Good Cop, Bad Cop kinda deal ...

Chapters 1-5 Summary
Sharon Draper's Romiette and Julio opens with Romiette's recurring dream. Deathly afraid of water, Romiette is drowning in her dream. As she struggles to surface, she feels the water pull her back down until she hears a man's voice. Just as it seems she is about to be saved, Romiette wakes up, sweating and disoriented. She is unable to go back to sleep; so she reaches for her journal and begins to write about her fears.
Chapter 2 features Romiette's journal entry in which she introduces herself and her family. She discusses her fear of storms and water and explains that while she took swimming lessons, she was always too afraid to let go of the side of the pool. A sixteen-year-old junior in high school, Romiette is independent, opinionated, and stylish: characteristics she inherited from her parents. Romi's dad, Cornelle Cappelle, is a prominent newscaster for the local Cincinnati TV station. Lady, Romi's mom, owns and runs an African boutique in downtown Cincinnati. She is known in the community for her regal, sensible personality, and she encourages Romi to explore her African roots.
After describing her family in her journal, Romi lists the features that she would like to find in a love interest. She is uninterested in most of her male peers because she wants someone who is curious about the world around him and who would be just as comfortable watching a hockey game as he would be attending a play with her. When Romi finishes her journal entry, she realizes how late it is and tries to go back to sleep.
The next day when Romi returns to school from Christmas vacation, she is eager to meet up with her close friends. Her best friend, Destiny, is positive, fun, and keenly interested in astrology. As she and Romi discuss their Christmas vacations, a fight breaks out nearby and the girls distance themselves from the foolishness.
In Chapter 4, Draper introduces the book's second title character, Julio....

Chapters 6-10 Summary
After Julio finishes his first day at his new school in Cincinnati, he trudges back home through the snow. His dad, Luis Montague, is unpacking boxes in their apartment when he enters. When Luis asks Julio how school was, Julio tells him that he hates it. He complains that there are no Spanish influences that he can see in Cincinnati, and his dad tries to encourage him that things will get better. Their conversation is interrupted when Julio's new friend, Ben, calls. While Julio is surprised at Ben's call, he is also glad to talk to him. Ben explains his constantly changing hair color and tells Julio that he would rather be out sledding in the snow than stuck in school. When Ben asks Julio about life back in Texas, Julio is happy to oblige him. He tells Ben about his love of sailing and swimming and that his family is from Mexico via Italy, hence his last name. Ben confesses that he does not know much about his family's history. He lives with his mom and sister and sees his dad occasionally. As the boys talk about their interests, Julio explains that he is interested in film and TV and would love to get a job or an internship at a TV station.
Chapter 7 features chat room conversations between several teens. Because the novel was written in 1999, e-mail, chat rooms, and websites were nascent and just becoming popular. While the conversation is listed next to the teens' screen names, it is pretty obvious early on that Romi is "afroqueen" and Julio is "spanishlover." The two realize that they have more in common with each other than with the others in the chat room, so they enter a private chat room. At this point, they do no know that they live in the same city or go to the same school. Julio and Romi do not exchange their names during their private chat but do tell each other a little about themselves. Julio describes the beauty of the Rio Grande and compares himself to a river, while Romi compares herself to a lake with edges, ripples, and...

Chapters 11-15 Summary
In Chapter 11, Julio talks to his friend Diego who is still back in Texas. He recounts his online conversation with afroqueen and also tells Diego about the gang's approaching him in the bathroom. Diego's only suggestion is to run away from that kind of stuff, but Julio tells him that he does not have a choice since his parents decided to move the family to Cincinnati. As their conversation is ending, Julio receives a call from Ben on the other line. He tells Ben about the gang incident, and Ben fills him in on the situation at their school. He explains that because the guys who threatened Julio were wearing hoodies, they are the leaders of "The Family"—also known as the Devildogs. Ben ends the call by warning Julio to be careful because the Devildogs have quite a violent reputation.
Later that night, Julio returns to the chat room where he met afroqueen. After the two teens banter with other teens in the chat room, they once again go into a private chat room where Romiette explains her hesitation about continuing to talk to Julio. He tries to ease her fears by telling her his age and high school's name—Thomas Jefferson High. When Romiette hears her own school's name as well as Ben Olsen's name, she becomes more comfortable and admits to Julio that she goes to the same school. She then realizes that he is the same student who punched Ben on the first day back at school after vacation. When Julio explains the situation, Romiette trusts him even more and agrees to meet him in person at lunch the next day.
The following night, Romiette describes her meeting with Julio in her journal. She admits that she really likes Julio, that he is not like the other guys at her school. She and Julio had talked so much during lunch that they forgot to eat. But before she has a chance to call Destiny to discuss Julio, Destiny calls her, looking for details. One of the most important aspects about relationships to Destiny is a person's sign. She is amazed that Romiette did not think to ask Julio his sign and tells her that she must obtain that information as quickly as possible. She does not care a bit when Romiette tells her the difference in their races. To Destiny, astrological elements are most important.
In band class the next day, Julio informs Ben that he has met his Internet "queen," and Ben approves when he discovers that "afroqueen" is Romi. He encourages Julio to pursue the relationship.
Chapters 16-20 Summary
After Romi and Julio meet in person, they chat again via Internet when they get home. Julio tries to discover if Romi just met him because she feels sorry for the new kid, and she quickly assures him that she enjoyed their time together just as much as he did. Romi then tells Julio about her golden retriever's puppies and offers him one. He has to check with his parents, but he misses the dog he had to leave back in Texas and promises to ask permission to adopt one of Romi's. As the conversation comes to a close, Romi discovers that Julio is a Pisces, and she lets him know that she is a Leo; Julio then promises to bring her a surprise the next day at lunch.
Julio is so exuberant after his conversation with Romi that he feels motivated to unpack his boxes. Since the move, he had not felt at home in Cincinnati, but with his developing relationships with Ben and Romi, he believes that something good might actually derive from the move. As he's unpacking, he finds a small stuffed lion that he had won at the state fair the year before and sets it aside so that he can give it to Romi the next day. He can no longer contain his excitement; so he seeks out his dad and tells him about Romi. At first his dad is unhappy that he is spending so much time in front of the computer, but when he finds out that Julio has actually met Romi in person and that she goes to his school, he feels better; that is, until Julio tells him that Romi is African-American. Luis Montague is not racist, but one of the reasons he moved his family away from everything they knew was the gang violence between Latino and Black gangs back in Corpus Christi. After Julio describes Romi a little more, Luis apologizes for his reaction and tells Julio that he will agree to taking a puppy if Julio's mom gives her permission.
After Julio and Romi's second lunch meeting, Romi once again journals about her experience. She realizes that her feelings for Julio are deepening quickly,...

Chapters 21-25 Summary
In Chapter 21, Romi and Julio have a phone conversation about their visit from the Devildogs. Julio describes his family's reason for moving from Texas to Ohio, and Romi is surprised to hear how bad the gang situation is at Julio's old school. Back in Corpus Christi, the gangs run the schools, and the tension between a Hispanic gang (the Ramones) and an African-American gang (the Black Daddies) was at all-time high when Julio moved. After the gangs had taken over the school, they would walk the halls each day, and none of the authority figures in the school would seek to stop them. The principal retreated to his office during the "gang walks" and pretended not to notice that his school was out of control. One day a teacher, Mr....

Chapters 26-30 Summary
After school, Destiny visits Romi, who is still upset about her dream. Destiny, who attributes great significance to dreams, tries to interpret the dream as Julio saving Romi. Romi is still unsettled but turns the conversation to her excitement over Julio coming to her house on Sunday. While Romi and her friend discuss Julio's visit, Julio talks to his mom about Romiette. Mrs. Montague shares a close relationship with her son and Julio knows that he can confide in her without her judging him. She encourages his relationship with Romi and promises him that the Cappelles will like him if they raised their daughter to be such a fine young lady.
At school, Ben and Julio talk between classes. Julio tells Ben about his...

The night before Romi has planned for Julio to come over to choose his puppy, she invites Destiny to stay with her. The two plan to pick an outfit for Romi's "date" and then to try out "The Scientific Soul Mate System" which Destiny has finally received in the mail. After chatting with Mrs. Cappelle, Destiny hurries up to Romi's room where she and Romi discuss the latest in the situation with the Devildogs. Romi tells Destiny about Malaka Grimes's warning and cannot understand why the Devildogs care whom she befriends. Destiny tries to encourage her friend but does warn her that because the stars show that Julio is "made up of fire," Romi needs to be careful because of her astrological connection to water.

Chapter 36 features a brief news segment from Mr. Cappelle's broadcast. The chapter serves to highlight Mr. Cappelle's professionalism versus his co-anchor Nannette's silliness and to inform the audience that the news station will be completing and airing an investigative segment on gangs in Cincinnati. The purpose of the report is to discover whether gangs are truly an issue in the city, and Nannette ironically comments that she cannot believe that Cincinnati has any such problems.
Chapter 37 returns the novel's focus to the teens. As Destiny, Ben, Romi, and Julio meet for lunch, a connection seems to be forming between Ben and Destiny. After all, he does possess many of her soul mate's characteristics. After talking...

Chapters 41-45 Summary
On the night of the kidnapping, Mrs. Cappelle does not return home until nine, just before her husband, and they both are surprised and anxious when they cannot find Romi. Their daughter's note promises that she will be home by seven; so the Cappelles begin calling Romi's friends to find out where she could be. When they talk to Destiny's mom, all she can tell them is that Destiny left the house with Ben early that evening. As the Cappelle futilely go through the list of Romi's friends, Mrs. Cappelle remembers that Romi had mentioned talking to Malaka recently. Of course, she has no idea that Malaka knows exactly where Romi is and that she is involved in her disappearance. Mrs. Cappelle calls Malaka and does not like the girl's...

At two in the morning, they receive a call from the police captain who tells them that they have had a break in the case. A group of teens driving a car matching the tire tracks found at the kidnapping scene has been arrested. When the Cappelles and Montagues arrive at the police station, they are asked to look at the teens through a two-way mirror to see if they can provide any information to the police.

Chapters 51-55 Summary
Chapter 51 repeats the book's beginning. Romi struggles underwater and is about to succumb to drowning when she hears a voice in the distance: Julio's voice. The only difference is that now Romi truly is drowning rather than dreaming. As she sinks farther beneath the surface, Julio is desperate to find her. He dives down and at last touches Romi whose hair is caught on a rock. After he frees her, Julio pulls her to the surface and turns her face to the air as he struggles to get them both to the shore. On the verge of hypothermia, Julio can barely carry the lifeless Romi as he tries to find shelter from the storm. When he trips over a fallen tree, he realizes that it is large enough to protect them from the elements and lays Romi...

Chapters 56-62 Summary
The morning newscast features a bulletin on the missing teens, and Mr. Cappelle's ditsy co-anchor, Nannette, speculates about whether Romi and Julio will meet the fate of the infamous Shakespearean lovers of similar names or if they might simply be hiding from the threat of gang violence. The bulletin concludes with a police number for tipsters to call. After her report, Nannette heads to the lake near London Woods to do on-the-site journalism, but everyone she tries to talk to has no time for her silliness. She closes the report with a promise to update her audience when she receives more information.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cappelle and Mr. Montague set out on their own search. As they sit down on a log to rest, they discuss...

Peace Caravan Will Depart from San Diego
Several organizations support the expedition led by poet Javier Sicilia
Tuesday, June 19, 2012
(translated from Spanish)
LOS ANGELES.- Over 60 organizations based in the United Sates will support the caravan that the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity plans to undertake this summer from the border of Mexico and the United States to Washington, D.C.
These organizations for migrant, civil, and human rights announced yesterday that they will support the caravan, led by the Mexican activist and poet, Javier Sicilia.
The activity is aimed at highlighting the problems or effects generated by the war on drugs in Mexico and by US drug policies, as well as the border crossing by displaced Mexicans that flee the violence.
"Today we see a new type of migration to escape the terrible violence…violence that has claimed so many lives," said Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels, an organization known for leaving water for migrants in the border crossing zones. "Therefore, we are joining this caravan. We do not want even one more death, we want peace, justice, and dignity," he added.
The caravan will leave San Diego – bordered with Tijuana, Mexico – on August 12 and will end in the capital of the country after passing through Texas, Arizona, and Chicago. It will be supported by organizations based in the United States such as the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities, Drug Policy Alliance, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Presente.org, Washington Office on Latin America, and Global Exchange.
Sicilia formed the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity last year as a response to the death of his son, Juan Francisco, at the hands of organized crime. It will be the first caravan from the Movement in the US after having done two in Mexico.
The violence generated by organized crime in Mexico has left over 47,500 deaths all over the country between December 2006 and September 2001, according to the latest official sources.
Some civil groups have reported that with 2012, the death toll could be almost 60,000.

Tesla Gains (Another!) 7%; Barclays Raises Price Target
The Tesla Motors (TSLA) ride just won't stop — the stock is up 7% today, and now 31% in the past week and 68% in May. It has doubled in price in the past month, trading at just above $90.
The latest pop was likely prompted by news of a stock offering and, at the same time, a $100 million investment by CEO Elon Musk. That in turn led to a note from Barclays Equity Research today which saw analyst Brian Johnson raise his price target to $90 from $72.
As Johnson writes:
Equity injection increases probability of crossing chasm to Gen III: We now see a higher probability of Tesla moving from a niche luxury (Model S/X) to mass affluent (Gen III) OEM given the reduced financial risk as a result of the equity raise. Moreover, the improved financial condition is likely to boost demand as consumer confidence in vehicle warranties increases and greater international visibility emerges. These two factors lead us to raise our price target to $90 and reiterate our Overweight rating.
Johnson does sound a cautious note, questioning whether battery costs will likely keep Tesla cars from becoming mass market products.
We await further evidence/visibility into battery cost reductions before ascribing a higher probability of mass market adoption in our valuation; given the lack of visibility into battery costs, we continue to ascribe a 5% chance of mass market adoption.
And, in the best, case, the stock could have possibly as much as another 50% gain to come:
But bulls see higher valuation on greater chance of Tesla entering the mass market: We believe TSLA bulls assume zero chance of failure, a 70% chance TSLA successfully enters the mass market, and a 25% chance it only gets as far as Gen III. Using our 3-Era valuation framework for TSLA, we see upside to $137 if the bulls are right.
(Then again, emphasizing how all-or-nothing Tesla stock is, Johnson adds that the downside could see shares fall to $5 each, as its "inability to execute its product schedule would yield a severe cash crunch" and lead to a liquidation of assets.)

REDDING, Calif. - The realignment plan that Shasta County supervisors originally rejected in August has now been altered and approved.

Among several other things, Forman said there will be help in working with parolees social and behavior skills to help them find jobs.
After hearing Forman's presentation, the board voted and approved the plan.

In the meeting, Forman said the entire community is working toward making the program work. He said there has already been a great deal of improvement and that this approval will help further that.

Hey Spacedoggy:
There will be a gun show in Longview Aug. 5th & 6th. If you are looking to buy, that would be a good place to look. I've never been to the Longview show but I just bought a S & W MP40 at the Denton show for $409.95 from the AJC Sports Shop booth. They had the best prices. I don't know if they will be at the Longview show or not. They are out of Clute, Tx & their phone # is 979 265-GUNS if you want to check. Their prices were the best at the show. Academy, for example, is asking $499.00 for the same gun.
Good luck with your house hunt. We are looking for a home in the Longview area.

Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
Because it's politics Dez, it's not about helping the citizens, if they wanted to make the country safer then yes they'd go after hand guns instead of semi autos, they don't want to make us safer though, their motivation is purely votes, and people who don't know anything about guns are scared of semi autos, so banning those guns will result in the most votes gained.
like i said....i dont care either way. I dont own guns, nor do I feel the need to, so, to me it's irellevant what the decision is going to be.
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
all i know is we have some seriously mentally unstable contractors.

Az ingatlan értékelései
As this was our first trip to Rome we were pleasantly surprised with the apartment. Flamina was there to meet us and helped with all our questions. It was close to everything we needed. We loved Rome and would not hesitate to stay there again.
Excellent accomodation in a good area close to Vatican City. Our hosts were most helpful in providing information on locating the apartment and the parking provided is very secure and close by. Supermarket is across the road and nice gelato and pizza close by (all mandatory for a trip to Rome!) The apartment itself is spacious, modern and clean in a secure building. Awesome kitchen and bathrooms for european standards. Definitely would stay here again.
Our stay was fabulous. The apartment was beautiful, clean, modern and safe. The service was great. My wife and I highly recommend!
We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed this beautifull and well furnished and equipped appartement. Francesco is a wonderful host in ervery respect. Thanks to Francesco for the warm welcome!
We stayed in this apartment with two of our kids. And, I have to say that both the apartment and our hosts where beyond what we expected. We where picked up at the airport by Fransesca and had a wonderful ride into Rome, Fransesca was also so nice to drive us back to the airport at the end of our stay. When arriving the apartment there was even some food waiting so we didn't need to shop food the first day, this was very pleasant. The apartment was very clean and every thing was perfect. It is located only 800 meter from the Vatican museum and it is possible to walk to whatever you want to look at.
The next time we will be back in Rome we already know where we want to stay :-)
Thank you Flaminia and Fransesco for making our stay in Rome so good.
A very nice appartment. The location is perfect to start a visit to every site you want to see in Rome.
The hosts are very nice people.
We really enjoyed our stay en I propably will be back with the kids to visit Rome.
And of course I want to stay at this place.
Outstanding apartment, very comfortable. Pictures give a very good impression on the apartment. What we liked the most were the 2 bathrooms.
Everything was as expected (even better as expected).
Flaminia is a perfect host, always responsible and helpful.
We can only recommend the apartment. Everything was just perfect.
Will stay there again when visiting Rome
Thank you Flaminia
The apartment we can recommend everyone - the flat is tidy and very comfortable, especially the two cleany bathrooms. Communication was okay, thanks to Flaminia & Francesco
Wimdu has 100% exactly described the apartment, you can go by foot to the Vatican and city centre, that's great.

CREA - GPEN or GREM
Still waiting on the results of the CISM which is a drag because it WILL take no less than 5 weeks (test was June12th) and I'm wondering what's next... I *could* study for the CISA but that's on the boring side. Think *rubiks cube"... Which would you do, GPEN, GREM or take a chance with the CREA.
I'm actually hoping I can avoid all of those and waiting for validation on "Assured Exploitation" (http://trailofbits.com/2010/02/25/assur ... -training/) from Sotirov and Dovi this year... I *may* bother Pete Herzog to see when he plans on doing the OPSA/OPST round my parts... If you had your choice of the three mentioned (GPEN/GREM/CREA) though, which would you recommend and why.

Greetings to all in cyber space,
I am attempting to paint a Boba Fett helmet from ESB and am hoping someone has a list of paints that can be used that are made in the US.
As I have scanned through the threads on this site, I have found some great lists but Humbrol, the main brand that seems to be suggested, is a British company. That makes it very hard to find in the United States. It also makes it near impossible to find similar colors since no company uses the same name or number to identify the same shade of a color. For example, Humbrol's "caboose" may be called "rosey red" by Valspar or "whispering rash" by Testers.
Having seen so many great Fetts on this site, I have no doubt someone has run into this before. Rather than make the same mistakes and having to redo something, I thought I would simply ask the pros first.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dave C.

So what's up with toyota? Is toyota ever going to bring back the supra? I read rumors but nothing concrete.
that is all we keep on hearing. and with the problems toyota is having recently with quality we will just see.
isn't the LF-A supposed to take over in place of the supra?
isnt that a lexus?
The Supra, I believe, is a done deal. It won't come back. We've all seen the prototypes from Nissan and Toyota. I doubt, that if those new models do hit the market, the Supra will be no more.
Quote:isn't the LF-A supposed to take over in place of the supra?
Quote:that is all we keep on hearing. and with the problems toyota is having recently with quality we will just see.
Quote: what quality issues?
things should become more revealed by the begining of next year.
If there are any new Supra-style sports cars coming from Toyota, it wouldn't be sold as a Scion. Remember, the Scion brand is positioned under Toyota, offering youth-oriented vehicles with Toyota quality and reliability at an affordable price. To my knowledge, nothing about the Supra or the MR2 making a comeback has been confirmed. The only sports offering that seems to be underway is the Lexus LF-A, which was spotted testing at Nurburgring.
i think that scion shouldn't be thought of as "under" toyota, but have the more out-there and exciting cars. i think the FJ Cruiser should have been a scion and whatever new sports car should be too.
Scion is for the young crowd of Toyota buyers-the ones who want/have owned a Supra, MR2, etc...
In the Toyota Motor Corp's food chain, the order is as follows:1. Lexus2. Toyota3. ScionI don't mean Scion is "under" Toyota in terms of quality or anything, but it's highly unlikely you will see a Scion listing for $30K or anything larger than a Camry.
i see lexus at the top, toyota is the safe/bland/economy cars and trucks, i mean their mpst exciting car (minus the should-be scion FJ) is the solara which shares its top sports car engine with the sienna minivan. scion is the excitement division in my eyes which mean anything thing that is more hip should go under scion.
If the Supra goes for under 40K I think it'll go to Scion. Scion needs the help and it needs a Halo car that isn't the TC. If it's oevr 40 I think it'll go Toyota for the same reason the Supra failed originally: people don't want to pay 40K for a scion like they didn't want to pay 50K for a Supra in 93-98.

Bit difficult to swallow. Nothing wrong with the product itself. Changed now to powder version of the same product.
Good product

Good product, works as described. Really gives strengths and endurance during the exercise. Recommend to everyone. Would be nice to use less capsules for the desired effect.

Barefoot at the beach

Hide lines
On the way here I stopped at somewhere called South of the Border in Dillon, South Carolina. The only thing about it that reminds me of Mexico is the heat! That was a preview of what was to come in the rest of South Carolina.
I got to Myrtle Beach at about two and after checking into the hotel I went to Boardwalk at the Beach, which is kind of like a giant shopping complex with restaurants and activities and stuff. The name is misleading, you can't actually go to the beach from there, although it does surround water. It was okay, a lot of touristy shops and stores you'd find at a regular shopping mall.
Next up was the beach. I met a girl from North Carolina a few months ago who went to California and said that she didn't like that the water is too cold to swim in. I've always assumed that thats how most oceans are (apart from somewhere like Cancun), but I was wrong. The water here is so warm! I wasn't wearing a swimsuit, which is unfortunate because as soon as you put a foot in you just want to jump in. I might even be willing to temporarily put aside my completely irrational and very strong fear of sharks to swim in that water. It was amazing.
They have the biggest one ever to be shown in the U.S. which was over 20 feet. Parts of it are kinda creepy because you walk over bridges right above the water and you know they're there somewhere...watching. I know I've seen too many movies, but at one point I was by myself and I kept seeing splashes in the water but never actually saw where the crocodiles were. I felt like they were going to eat through the bridge and drag me under...okay, too many movies, as I said. Anyway, that whole experience was cool.
They also had a place where you can get your picture taken with baby tigers. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am and always have been, obsessed with big cats. I find them fascinating. I would do almost anything to be able to play with a baby tiger. Anything, except pay $80 for a picture and not even get to play with the tiger (they put a bottle in its mouth and take the baby away the second the picture is done. Apparently the baby tigers are a bit mouthy). I've already blown my $50 a day budget every single day of this trip, so there was no way I could afford that. Oh well, some day I will get to play with a baby big cat.
Just a random thing to throw in here, but Myrtle Beach really knows how to do miniature golf. There are tons of courses around here and some are huge. Many have special effects (one at Broadway by the Beach had a volcano with fire that would come out every few seconds) and they look really cool. Well, tomorrow it's off to Charleston. I can't believe the trip is almost over. Tomorrow will be okay, only two hours, but on Thursday I'll have a 10 hour drive back to DC. Why in the world did I ever think that a 10 hour (probably more) drive would be a good idea? Oh well, now I know for next time.

Randomization Lab
Yup, another Lab idea- this time for competitive. While Lone Wolf co-op arena would be awesome (another idea of mine, but that one is self-explanatory) I wouldn't mind seeing a mode with a lot more entropy.
A lab in which player's loadouts are completely disregarded and thrown into disarray. When the player respawns/match starts, the player will have a randomized set of weapons, boosters and KBs.
Why It's Awesome:
This playlist would have players constantly adjusting to different circumstances, as well as making them try out different sets of boosters/weapon combinations.
- No 3rd booster from character loadouts
- No Paid Boosters
- No power weapons lying on maps- KB power weapons are acceptable
Question of the Day/Week/Month/Year/Century/Millenium
What level boosters should be given out- bronze, silver, gold, or random?
Post to vote, and I'll update the OP with the results. This can be a Lab with (one set of) rules set by the community, for the community.
Co-op Adventure Tips & Tricks and Amazing Lab Idea- Now with Brackets Mentioning Kudos Count!
Re: Randomization Labs
Best idea ever.
Would love this but maybe a bit unfair, Tau vs M9 ROF -_-
And quitting would happen everytime you get a Base AK and Raffica.
Maybe like COD's Gun Game/Sharpshooter?
The only reasons I play COD are locals (customs), Zombies and those modes.
So if ND (hint hint) added these, more custom game options and Unlimited Survival I would never touch it again.
Re: Randomization Labs
I like this idea!
I've always like adaptation, it's one of the best survival ways. In U2 we had weapon pickups, but now we have to adapt to any weapon we find laying on the floor, which helps polish our skill with each weapon and enhance our adaptation to various weapons.
And if you want to go completely crazy with randomization, I'd suggest randomizing ammo, which means you can fire a Gmal and see it shoot Hammer rounds for example
Re: Randomization Lab
While I thought about that, I would like this mode to be fair to everyone, regardless of the setup they get. It sounds hypocritical, but I want this mode to be balanced and random- your performance will be left entirely up to how you adapt under new circumstances.
I also think it's a good idea.
I meant that you would be given a pistol and a long gun, so no one gets stuck with a Tau. I don't know about giving players a certain weapon-set after quitting, because then that would defeat the purpose...And while Gun Game-esque mode would be fun, I'd personally prefer a constant setup every time a player respawns so they think different tactics after every death and not every 45 seconds or so.
Exaclty the concept I wanted to capture from UC2- pick up a weapon and make a strategy off of it. While random ammo would make for an interesting match, I think an AK T-bolt would be a bit much, as would a Hammer Turret.

Well, they wouldn't be that beastly since they'd have the same RoF as the original guns
Re: Randomization Lab
Yeah, I was thinking about this idea last night.
Basically, everyone starts with a random long gun, pistol, boosters, and kickback. And it changes everytime you die/respawn.
The free buddy booster wouldn't be a problem. I mean, you'd have to get really lucky and be using the proper skin. Plus, you'd die, and then you wouldn't have it anymore anyway.
I don't think there'd be a need to eliminate cash-em-in. I mean, kickbacks aren't used that often. And if you get a kickback you don't like, well, you'll die and get a new one. If you start kinda cherry picking out the sucky end of the randomness it defeats the purpose somewhat.
Negative boosters - leave them out - not necessary.
Set all the boosters to gold, or make the levels random too. We want effective randomness. Not "may as well be playing hardcore" mode.
It would be a fun lab.
Re: Randomization Lab
Great idea! I personally think boosters should be Gold, just to live up to their full poitencial. KBS should include everything exept Cash' em in. I agree with that cause no one wants a kind of useless KB, if you ask me. No mods on guns sounds okay to me. Just so you dont get stuck with a AK-47 w/ accrucey, while your enemy gets a M9 w/ ROF. Kind of an issue if MODS were to be present during this lab.

In partnership with winemaker Kevin Grant, the team initiated plantings on four carefully chosen, clay rich sites in the cool, maritime Walker bay appellation. Following in-depth soil research on Hamilton-Russell vineyards, Anthony and Kevin were able to discern that the most site-expressive and complex wines will be produced off of the stony, clay-rich Bokkeveld shale soils in the area. In 1998, a 113 hectare farm in the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus, was purchased as a central home for the Southern Right Cellar.

Kandyland at the Mansion
Playmates, Paris Hilton and other celebs headed to the Mansion for Karma Foundation's Kandyland, the sweetest party of the year.
The Mansion's annual Kandyland Party hosted by the Karma Foundation was as sweet as to be expected. Paris Hilton, Three 6 Mafia and actors Gary Dourdan, Alex Pettyfer and Shane West stopped by, along with body-painted models, go-go dancers and Playmates galore, who all dressed up (and dressed down) for a fantasy-inspired evening, all for a good cause.

FWIW, I've been shooting for 30+ years and own a bunch of firearms. I own five Glocks and nine SIGs, plus many others. My SIG P229 Elite in .40 S&W is the finest weapon I've ever owned or fired. My SIG P229R SCT 9mm is a close second. My SIG P220 Elite .45 ACP is third. My FNP-45 14 + 1 round .45 ACP is fourth.
Yes, a good SIG costs an arm and a leg, and the wooden grips on the Elite models are kinda fat (I put stock SIG plastic grips on the P220 Elite and now it's perfect). A SIG is an heirloom that you pass down to your kids, and it protects your ass in the meantime. A Glock is a Snap-On tool: wonderful for its intended purpose, but which sits in the toolbox when not needed. Only you can judge their relative value.


text: I was just looking at a 2009 thread in which apple pollination fees were $50, Cranberry fees were not listed. The discussion was that cranberries were not worth it because the trade off was that the beek was missing out on honey at $1.50/pound. In recent years honey prices have risen. Have pollination prices risen to compensate as well, or is it still $50 for apples, and what about cranberries? I am curious because I am wondering about supplying small orchards locally; Cranberries are 2 hours east of me, and I can't imagine that they would ever be worth my time.

I have a friend who's a homebrewer. When he heard that I was looking for Brewer's Yeast to feed my bees, in patty form as a pollen substitute, he said, "Why buy it? I just put it down the drain! I'll set aside a bucket full for you the next time I rack."
Of course I accepted, as the price was right (free)!
My question is, will bees accept "beery" smelling, semi-alcoholic, spent yeast as a pollen substitute, or will they turn their nose up at it? The relative "wetness" of it shouldn't be a factor as I'm mixing it up with sugar to make patties. But, does anyone have first hand experience with feeding bees "trub" and how do they react to it?
Thanks in advance,

PolitiFact: It's "half true" that unemployment in Massachusetts declined to 4.7% under Romney, even though it's totally true
posted at 6:41 pm on June 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
I don't care about PolitiFact any more than you do, but conservatives are having so much fun on Twitter with this dumb spin — check the #PolitifactRatings hashtag and just keep scrolling — that a post is obligatory.
Hey, you know how every politician who's ever lived tends to take credit for job growth that happened while he was in office? We're lucky enough to live in an age when media fact-checkers will devote entire stories to countering such claims by pointing out that (a) economic growth and unemployment are complicated phenomena and (b) rarely can any one pol do much to influence them. Good work, PolitiFact. Coming soon: The companion piece in which Obama is completely absolved for three-plus years of grinding economic dreariness. Note the boldfaced bit below; they're already inching towards it.
The ad — which combines stirring music, footage of welders and forklift drivers and images of Romney gladhandling with factory employees — was released June 8, 2012. "Romney," the ad says, "reduced unemployment to just 4.7 percent."
We checked Bureau of Labor Statistics data and found that the statistic was correct. The low point for the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate during Romney's tenure was 4.7 percent. (It happened during Romney's final full month in office, December 2006.)…
Gary Burtless, an economist with the Brookings Institution, said the policies of governors, presidents and mayors can affect job creation, but they play a small role in the overall picture…
In fact, the way the Romney campaign phrased the claim we're checking is particularly bold. It doesn't say that "under Romney, unemployment declined," or "due to Romney's policies, unemployment declined," or "in Massachusetts, we reduced unemployment." The ad we're checking says simply that "Romney reduced unemployment," as if no other factors mattered.
…Yeah, good point. If not for PolitiFact, who knows how many people might have watched Romney's ad and concluded that he personally knocked a point off of unemployment unaided by anyone or anything else? Oh, wait, I know: Zero. Zero people would have concluded that.
Look on the bright side, though: At least they gave a rating this time. When they tackled The One's youthful dog-eating, they couldn't bear to slap a "true" sticker on it. Via Guy Benson, here's Krugman characterizing the current malaise as a "depression," which Guy contrasts with O's now infamous statement in February 2009 that if he didn't turn the economy around in three years, he'd be looking at a one-term presidency. I'll slap a "true" sticker on that one.

Ten Reasons to Move Cheney's Book to the Crime Section
Posted by Medea Benjamin in Featured, Stop Funding War, World News & Events on 30th August, 2011 | No Comments
Former Vice President Dick Cheney was given a multi-million contract to write a book about his political career. According to Cheney's media hype, the book, called In My Time, will have "heads exploding all over Washington." The Darth Vader of the Bush administration offers no apologies and feels no remorse. But peace activists around the country are stealthily gearing up to visit bookstores, grab a stack of books, and deposit them where they belong—the Crime Section.
