DAVISON DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT Davison ripoff highly supported by the BBB, that was a big mistake! Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
We started this about a 1 1/2 years ago, and we thought it was going to be the answers to our financial problems. I came up with a idea and my husband supported me to submit it online to Davison.
Sean Jones called me a day later and told me how it was a great idea and he had talked to his mom who runs a daycare, she thought my idea would solve a huge problem. Davison was going to get my idea into Wal-marts, Shopkos etc. and millions of homes.
All Davison wanted was 10% of whatever we got. They would do all the leg work for me and of course I would have to invest alittle but I would stand to make alot out of it.
The first sum we had to invest was $685.00, I was skeptical but my very supportive husband reminded how smart I was and we would be able to give our 3 little boys financial stabilty.
Sean Jones kept every phone appointment, answered every question, sent plenty of flyers supporting how many clients they had helped financially.
After several months the next sum of money we had to put up was $1,000.00 towards a $10,980.00 retainer. It took us several months to find someone to help invest in this. Among the way we talked to a relative who checked them out and found they were not highly supported by the BBB.
My husband and myself questioned Sean Jones about this and he was quick to answer that there had been problems in the past and the company was fined and since seperated themselves from Davison Design. He even sent us a copy of the report and reasurred us not to worry. We had come so far and was so close it would be crazy not to continue.
Finally we got a family to invest the rest of the $10,980.00 that was left. Now we are dealing with the Licensing Department and are being asked to invest another $335.00 after being told we wouldn't have to. The first Corporation they approached was a door corporation and I couldn't see the connection with my idea. We were assured they were the largest and could pay the most. What we got was a no thank you. It doesn't seem this next one is any better.
I am so hurt. I found this site way too late. We don't know what to do at this point or if there is anything we can do. I have read and reread all the paperwork they sent and all the pictures that now seem to be off the internet and worthless. I look at our little boys and want to scream, I feel like such a sucker.
I guess I am just wondering what to do. I am calling tomarrow and try to talk to the licensing department and ask for my money back but at this point it seems hopeless.

Everyone now knows that the LS motor does evrything better than a regular sbc. The real question is how it measures up to a BBC. This isn't a new idea but do the comparison of say a 427 cube LS and BBC with the same compression, cam, and equivalent heads styles. Possibly L92 heads compared to 781's or 049's. Or even to make it a better challenge put some budget aluminum on the BBC, maybe patriot heads? Dyno test them. BBC guys love their motors but they hate the weight. After the dyno test then do the 'in car" dragstrip test. Which will be faster?brian
I haven't seen this in the mag yet, do the magazine writers even read this stuff? At least post and say if you think its a good or bad idea.brian
Nope, the writers don't read the forum much. Email them.
You can be sure that if CC does this article, they'll spec the parts so that it comes out in favor of the "LESS" V8. That's what the advertisers want. If memory serves, CC did a similar story back in the Freiburger or Matt King days comparing a big SBC to a small BBC. I'm uncertain why anyone but a restorer or a cheapskate would be messing around with 427-cube (or smaller) BBCs now that stroker kits are so popular. A better way of looking at the problem is which engine is the cheapest way to a carefully-selected street performance benchmark (i.e. 10.89, which is the daily driver limit of HRM's Drag Week). Of course, if aesthetics is thrown into the mix, there's no way a dog-ugly "Less" can stand up to a vintage "Rat."

The problem is that I'm unable to watch videos or listen to music after about 2 hours of usage. Basically when my computer is turned on it works fine but after a few hours of usage all my video programs crash. I have to continually restart my computer every few hours in order to watch videos and listen to music. I've been googling for about 2 hours to find a solution, no results thus far. Please note I thought it was a registry issue at first and I used a registered version of Registry Easy but the problem was not solved. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Aretha Franklin and her "forever friend" William 'Willie' Wilkerson are engaged to be married.
"We're looking at June or July for our date and no, I'm not pregnant," the Queen of Soul wrote in a statement to the AP.
"Ms. Franklin is considering Donna Karan, Valentino and the queen of wedding dresses, Vera Wang, to design her gown," her representative told People Magazine.
Let's hope she's also considering Luke Song who designed her 2009 inauguration hat.
Franklin has been married twice before.

|Tworkoski, Thomas
Submitted to: Journal of Fruit and Ornamental Plant Research
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 2/14/2006
Publication Date: 7/1/2006
Citation: Brown, M.W., Tworkoski, T. 2006. Enhancing biological control in orchards by increasing food web biodiversity. J. Fruit and Ornamental Plant Research. Vol. 14 (Suppl. 3) 2006., 19-27. Interpretive Summary: Synthetic herbicides often are used to control weeds that cause yield loss and contribute to insect pests and diseases in orchards. Alternative weed management may be required due to negative public perception and possible regulatory restriction of some synthetic herbicides and to minimize the negative effects on beneficial insect populations. Organic wastes, such as sawdust, may be available locally and could be used as mulches to suppress weeds in orchards. Additional weed control with a natural product herbicide, eugenol, was used in conjunction with the mulch. Mulch can be effective for annual weed control and increases the abundance of biological control insects but, mulch provided only partial control of perennial weeds. Eugenol provided additional control of weeds that grew through the mulch. The use of mulches and other alternative weed control methods that have less impact on beneficial insects will increase the sustainability of insect and weed management in orchards.
Technical Abstract: High biodiversity is a key to sustainable biological control in orchard systems. A diverse biological control community is needed to provide control of the large number of pests from many taxonomic groups in orchards. Orchard floor management practices range from partial to complete removal of ground cover (e.g. grasses, legumes, weeds) with techniques that include synthetic herbicides, tillage, mulch, and flaming. Such practices are designed to reduce below-ground competition with the crop but they also alter abiotic and biotic components of the soil and impact orchard food webs. We have investigated increasing biodiversity in the orchard with the addition of compost mulch under the trees. In addition to providing nutrients and organic matter to the soil, the compost also provided weed and insect control. Food web analysis of the soil-based food web revealed that the predator: herbivore ratio in the compost treated apple orchard was 0.85 but without mulch or with mulch and herbicide the ratio ranged from 0.15 to 0.32. It is proposed that the predator: herbivore ratio could be used as a measure of the sustainability of biological control. The use of eugenol as a natural herbicide is proposed as one tool for managing weeds that may be less disruptive to biological control.

@vigilguyLocale: Northern Utah
What is the most durable sewing thread that you would recommend for pack panniers? These are constructed using 1680 ballistic cloth and really take abuse. Some of the seams have broken open during our last trip to the Winds, so I am looking for some really robust sewing thread. Brand, type of thread, and size are needed. More concerned about long term lasting ability than anything. Thank you.
@brendansLocale: Fruita CO
Bonded nylon (B92 would probably be what you want) is the way to go, and you'll need an industrial machine. if there's no way you have access to an industrial machine, B46 will work in some home machines if they have enough tension adjustment room (it's slicker than other threads so typically requires quite a bit higher tension). The 46 is a lot stronger than anything else you could use in a home machine, but still probably not as heavy as you want. 92 is widely available, 46 is a little trickier to find. OWFINC carries both.
@vigilguyLocale: Northern Utah
I do have access to an industrial sewing machine. Thank you very much for your response.
@owareLocale: Steptoe Butte
"Bonded Thread
When thread passes through a sewing machine needle the friction creates heat and may cause the thread to fray. A bonded thread has a coating that reduces friction. Bonding is helpful if you are doing high speed sewing with thread size 46 and higher."
If you are sewing by hand, on your trip, dental floss is very strong.

I have it: 11 I had it: 5 I want it: 26
Donna Karan adds another version of their cult fragrance for women. The new limited edition is also inspired by New York skyline.
The fragrance embodies spontaneity and emotion of New York. "I wanted to capture the beating heart of New York, pulsating, contrasted and always unexpected," explains Trudi Loren from The Estée Lauder Companies, who created the perfume.
The fragrance opens with luminous blood orange, beautiful floral petals of water lily and tomato leaf, which provides the scent of fresh grass. The fragrance develops into a floral heart and closes with vanilla and autumnal woods, creating a feeling of a stroll in Central Park.
DKNY Women ♥ Limited Edition Eau de Toilette is poured into a tall, see-though 100 ml flacon shaped like previous flacons of the collection. The flacon is decorated with NY skyline and a red heart this time. The perfume arrives on the market on August 22nd 2012, as 100ml edt. The fragrance is accompanied with a beautiful DKNY tote bag with New York skyline as a gift.

I had smell it 2-3 times before I got it, I wanted to be sure pf what I get from this smell!! Finally I got a bottle just yesterday and I can say only good things for this fragrance. For me, is the perfect fragrance for the cold winter days on the way to work, warm and a little bit sweet, I like the vanilla, really cosy, I love it!!
Cosy, warm, orange vanilla. I can smell just hints of lilies, green leaves and lot of oranges with vanilla. Orange makes it sweet but in a good way. The scent is velvety, little creamy and very cosy. Even if I don´t like vanilla scents this one suits me and I feel so good wearing it. Nothing overpowering or annoying. Really good blended nothing less nothing more. It´s perfect for rainy or cold days when you want to cuddle up. I love when I can smell the hints of this beauty when the wind is blowing around me. PERFECT and very long lasting. LOVE it.

st: Re: Macro escape inside a macro
Wed, 29 Sep 2010 10:19:58 +0200
Eric, Nic, thank you for your replies. It appears that the beginning
of my original message did not reach statalist. I am resending it --
see below. BTW, I have read
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/lang/backslash.html but it shows
only simple actions with -display- command, which work fine, but my
problem is more complicated. I want to delay substitution of a macro
which is nested in another macro -- see below. Why backslash works
when used with -display- but not with -local-? (In my example below I
want to expand x but not d). I tried to use -macval()- but I did not
succeed. The description of -macval()- in the [P] manual is very brief
and there is no example with a full syntax. Maybe somebody could give
an example how -macval()- should be used?
-- original message below --
di "\`d'"
local x "\`d'"
di "`x'"
displays empty string?
How can I escape macro (i.e. prevent macro substitution) inside
another macro (i.e. when defining another macro)?

Worst day ever.... Best Day ever.... April Fool's Day!
Short Story by: esilva01
Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
The alarm sounded and I pulled the covers off my head. It was time for school and it was April Fool's day. I got dressed and ate breakfast like any other day. From there I walked to school. As I walked to school I encountered Jake who was my biggest crush. He had the sweetest smile you can ever imagine. Anyway, he and I started talking. We talked about many things. At the end of this conversation he hugged me and my heart seemed to jump out of it's place. I just blushed and he walked away because he wanted to catch up with his friends. I then walked to school boldly for now I was a woman. My life was now complete with him in it.
I finally reached school after that walk. As I walked to my classroom everybody laughed at me. I just thought that they were laughing at something that wasn't me. That's when my friend Katherine approached and whispered into my ear that I had a sign on my back that read kick me. How dare he? Jake had put that sign there. Oh, I was going to give him a piece of my mind now. I stomped over to where he was at and when I was ready to give him a piece of my mind the bell rang. First, I went to Mr. Waddle's class. He was a extremely jumpy teacher. He gave us an assignment to work on and when he reached for his coffee. He drank a big gulp and spit it all in my direction. All the students screamed out April Fool's, but I didn't. After everybody screamed that out they started to laugh at me. Figures! Another prank, but I was pretty sure Mr. Waddle didn't mean it. Or did he?
After several classes we went to lunch. There stood Jake in the most innocent way with his dreamy eyes and... What was I saying? He was asking the lunch lady for more meat in his plate. "You want meat I have some right here," I screamed while I waved my fist in the air. He dropped his plate and ran to the courtyard. I sprinted and soon reached him. He was breathing heavily.
"I'm so sorry," he began.
"You better be because now everybody is going to laugh at me! I'll be known as queen of losers."
"More like queen of loserville." I threw a sharp look at him and he raised both of his hands to show that he was innocent.
"Maybe I can fix that with a kiss." He inclined towards me and kissed me.
"Whoa!" Now I can call myself a woman. I kissed a cute boy in class. Oh my god that's like the best thing that's ever happened to me. Then the rest of the day continued and during chemistry we were working with water. Guess what happened? Water fell on my pants and it looked like if I had pissed in them. This couldn't be the worst day of my life, nor the best, but I think I can it April Fool's Day!

So now you are predicting too?
Does that mean Rodgers lost the game for them? You guys are trying way to hard now. Predicting things that could have or would have happened. Saying that the last play before the half wasn't a little lucky. Come on guys.
Ok fine. So the interception thrown by Eli should have been a TD later that drive. So they are even.
We are saying him NOT fumbling the ball away increases their chances of getting a touchdown.
Mood: WOOF!

Silver Sliding Sharply from a Double Top
Silver Technical Update
Previous: NFP - Reactions in Gold and Silver Reflect QE3 Expectation (9/7)
XAG/USD (Silver) 1H Chart 9/12/2012 10:55AM EDT
Silver, which has been rising sharply on the back of expectations of the Fed moving to implement QE3, fell sharply a day before the FOMC meeting, which will be on Thursday (9/13), 2:00PM EDT (18:00GMT). As seen in the 1H chart, silver has completed a double top and fell to the 200-hour SMA before finding some support around 32.45.
The RSI dipping to 30 suggests the momentum has turned sideways, and maybe slightly bearish in the near-term. If there is a pullback that holds silver under 33.50, preferably even below the 33.23 pivot, then the market would have put in a top in the short-term. This scenario would be accompanied by the RSI holding under 60 after a pullback.
Looking at the 4H chart, we see the next support pivots. 31.87-32.00 reflects a brief consolidation support area. Below 31.85, and with RSI 4H reading under 40, we have a more bearish outlook. 31.24 is the next pivot, but really that would expose the 30.00 handle.

HYDE PARK, Sunday—From this distance one wonders a little at the curious procedure by which Argentinians have apparently nominated their president and his wife for another term of office, giving the impression that at least those who were present at this vociferous gathering desired these two people to rule them and their country indefinitely.
It sounds as though it had all been engineered in the best totalitarian manner. Hitler might have been chosen and nominated in this way. Certainly Stalin could put over something of the kind, and perhaps even Franco could manage it. Crowds are so easily stampeded, and a demonstration for anything can be worked up without too much trouble. This, however, is Argentina's business and we should not criticize—for our nominating conventions must seem as wild and perhaps as astonishing to the rest of the world!
It is reported that, in a truly democratic manner, the President of Argentina said he would abide by the will of the people and that his wife, though she asked for four days grace to think over whether she could accept the arduous task of vice president, agreed, according to the papers, saying that she could not frustrate the will of the people. Let us hope that this demonstration was literally run by the people and for the people, and that now, having nominated their dictator, they will go on to insist that individual freedom be recognized and that differences of opinion at least be permitted expression. The history of the independent newspaper La Prensa makes us feel that, prior to any election, a promise to uphold freedom of thought and of action is essential to curtailing the powers of any dictator and to keeping a people free.
I have had several letters containing the strangest assertions as regards the unfinished Covenant of Human Rights, prepared by the Commission on Human Rights. The people making these statements seem to have no idea that this is not a United States document, sponsored and drafted by us alone. So I think it important to remind all those who are interested that this document was drawn up by the representatives of 18 nations, chosen so that geographically they represent the larger areas of the world. After the commission's work is done, the 18 nations in the Economic and Social Council have their say about it and, finally, 60 nations represented on Committee Three in the General Assembly will have to have their say. I have no idea, of course, what they will do with this preliminary draft. There is material enough prepared so that the 60 nations in the General Assembly might decide to draw up this first International Covenant of Human Rights themselves, or they might decide to return it to the Commission on Human Rights for further study. In its present form it certainly will not be passed. Whether it will be more or less acceptable to the United States in its final form remains to be seen. It is unthinkable from my point of view that the United States should not cooperate in working on the first draft of a covenant on human rights which will apply to the world as a whole. But that will in no way mean that the United States is bound to accept anything that its own representatives in the Senate do not feel is right to accept when the final draft is submitted to them for ratification.

The new multi-wavelength satellite, XMM-NEWTON, an international research project involving France Anne Cordova, astrophysicist and vice chancellor for research at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is now scientifically operational and sending home images of celestial objects, which are available on the Internet.
With this new satellite, as with the Hubble telescope and the new Chandra space telescope, scientists begin a new era of space exploration. "We will be taking the deepest pictures yet of the X-ray sky, hoping to make new discoveries," said Cordova. "We will be observing bright binary stars in nearby galaxies, and pulsars and cataclysmic variables in our own galaxy."
One of the principal activities of XMM-Newton, (short for X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission -- Sir Isaac Newton) will be to study black holes ten times as massive as the sun, which can be in binary star systems drawing matter from a nearby star, said Cordova.
Much larger black holes with a million to a billion sun masses are thought to be at the center of many galaxies, voraciously gobbling stars as they are attracted by gravity to the center. The XMM-Newton will be used by astronomers worldwide over a period of ten years to study these and various exotic stars and galaxies, and may include the first galaxies made when the universe was young.
All three major experiments designed for the satellite are working as planned, according to the official announcement today in Villafranca, Spain, made jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The name Newton was recently added to the spacecraft, after the famed British scientist Sir Isaac Newton who lived from 1642 to 1727.
Cordova, who served as NASA's chief scientist from 1993 to 1996, originally proposed the idea for a multi-wavelength capability to NASA in 1983 when she was staff scientist at the Los Alamos National Lab, but it wasn't accepted for lack of money.
Then she suggested the project to ESA in 1989 and it was chosen. So, the multi-wavelength satellite is the product of ESA, a 15-country consortium that is Europe's equivalent of NASA. NASA's involvement in the mission includes the contribution of critical components for two of the spacecraft's three science instruments and participation in the science-observing program. Through the Guest Observer Program, U.S. scientists will receive about one fifth of the observing time on the spacecraft during its first two years in orbit.
Cordova and her team contributed to the construction of one of the European instruments, providing the data processing unit, the digital electronics modules, software and science support for the Optical Monitor instrument, a conventional but very sensitive optical telescope.
The XMM-Newton is large by satellite standards, said Cordova; it stands over 10 meters tall and has a "wing span," with solar panels extended, of 15 meters.
Cordova attended the launch in French Guyana with her family last December and called it "absolutely flawless, just beautiful." Her team's experiment, the Optical/Ultraviolet Monitor telescope, extends the range of the X-ray telescopes on the satellite to longer wavelengths, making it possible to observe cosmic sources over a much longer baseline of wavelengths. Until now it was not possible to compare so many different wavelengths, taken at the same point in time.
XMM-Newton is the first observatory to include X-ray, optical and UV telescopes, spanning a much greater wavelength range than Hubble and some other, smaller satellites that have some degree of multiwavelength capability. XMM-Newton's unique capability is high-throughput spectroscopy, said Cordova. The fact that it also has the multi-wavelength capability enhances its capability to do discovery science.
"Many sources of high-energy radiation have complicated spectral signatures," said Cordova. "Our vision, formulated in 1983, was to have the world's first 'multi-wavelength' satellite. Now it will be possible to understand much more about how these objects behave."
Regarding the name change, from XMM to XMM-Newton, to honor Sir Isaac Newton, Cordova said, "The name change comes as welcome news to scientists. It is fitting that this satellite is named after Sir Isaac Newton since he identified gravity as the force that accounts for the motions of the planets in orbits around the sun. The XMM-Newton satellite will be used to map the cosmos to much greater distances, where gravity determines the shapes of galaxies and clusters of galaxies and the structure of the universe itself."
Newton's work in mathematics, optics and physics laid the foundations for modern science. He made a major impact on theoretical and practical astronomy and today one cannot evoke an apple, a reflecting telescope, a light-splitting prism or a sextant without recalling Newton's contribution to science. "We have chosen this name because Sir Isaac Netwon was the man who invented spectroscopy and XMM-Newton is a spectroscopy mission," said Roger Bonnet, director of science for ESA.
Bonnett described the mission, "I am amazed by the quality of the pictures, as compared to previous X-ray missions. We see on them a lot of new sources, especially in the parts of the spectrum which correspond to the hottest temperatures. We see that the universe is hotter than we thought and that many new sources are appearing. We are very hopeful that many more objects will be discovered and that by extending the temperature measurements of the universe to many objects, we will have a much better picture of the history and the hectic behavior of stars at the end of their life."
"The spacecraft is behaving well," said Robert Laine, project manager for the satellite, which has been managed by ESTEC in the Netherlands. He added, "All instruments on board are working properly and today we are releasing the first images." Antonio Rodota, director general of ESA, congratulated the industry teams and the scientists involved on "the outstanding work and efforts in developing XMM, ESA's biggest and most innovative scientific spacecraft so far."
Others on Cordova's team at UC Santa Barbara are Timothy Sasseen, project manager; Robert Shirey and Jamie Kennea, postdoctoral researchers; Dirk Pandel and Jennifer West, graduate students; and Joshua MacAdam, undergraduate student. At Los Alamos, Cheng Ho and Bill Priedhorsky have worked on the experiment for the past decade, as have James Klarkowski and his group of engineers at Sandia National Laboratory. Most of the team has taken turns spending time since launch commissioning their experiment in Spain. Cordova said she expects that now that the satellite "is ready for science" additional students will join the project. All of the experimenters have guaranteed observation time to look at the objects in which they are most interested, said Cordova.
A variety of opportunities for European school children to get involved in activities relating to the XMM-Newton have been arranged. For example a there is a school competition to win satellite time for observation in conjunction with scientists working on the mission.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have evaluated a simple, more specific blood test that identifies patients undergoing proactive surveillance for low-grade, low-stage, non-palpable prostate cancer who would eventually require treatment.
These results, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 101st Annual Meeting 2010, may be a major advance in prostate cancer risk assessment.
"Finding biomarkers that can predict future unfavorable biopsy conversion will help us to identify men with prostate cancer who may or may not need treatment," said Robert W. Veltri, Ph.D., associate professor of urology and oncology and director of the Fisher Biorepository & Biomarker Laboratory at The Brady Urological Research Institute, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.
Using the novel application of the Prostate Health Index immunoassay and DNA content measurements performed by image analysis, Veltri and colleagues tested 71 patients enrolled in the Johns Hopkins Hospital Proactive Surveillance Program.
The Prostate Health Index, developed by Beckman-Coulter, Inc., is a calculation involving at least three forms of free prostate-specific antigen (PSA), of which pro-PSA is one.
Thirty-nine patients developed an unfavorable biopsy, which is cancer progression defined as an increase in grade or tumor volume. The remaining patients maintained favorable biopsies. Veltri and colleagues measured serum total PSA, free PSA and pro-PSA, performed a digital rectal examination semiannually and conducted a surveillance biopsy examination each year.
Results showed that the level of Prostate Health Index was higher in men who were determined to have unfavorable biopsies, according to Veltri. Additionally, the researchers found that DNA content in biopsy tissue from the prostate gland next to the cancer area and area itself were significant predictors of a change from a favorable to an unfavorable biopsy in the Proactive Surveillance patients.
"Our findings were slightly surprising; serum pro-PSA level by itself was not able to predict unfavorable biopsy conversion in our Proactive Surveillance Program," Veltri said. "However, Prostate Health Index, which incorporates pro-PSA, free PSA and total PSA in the index, was significant for predicting unfavorable biopsy conversion."
While PSA testing may be responsible for the decreasing prostate cancer death rates occurring in the United States, Veltri said the question is raised "are we over-diagnosing and over-treating prostate cancer?"
Several studies have indicated that between 35 percent and 50 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer using a PSA test have cancers that would not have been detected if a PSA test had not been performed, according to Veltri. This is the case especially with low-grade, low-stage and non-palpable, small-volume prostate cancers.
"The overall objective of the Proactive Surveillance project is that baseline levels of molecular and morphologic biomarkers or other risk factors can identify men with prostate cancer who can safely forego curative intervention based upon monitoring clinical parameters and quantitative biopsy pathology," he said.
Veltri's laboratory is currently conducting an expanded study to evaluate other potential biomarkers that predict unfavorable biopsy conversion among men enrolled in the Johns Hopkins Hospital Proactive Surveillance Program.

Savage Heartland
What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?
S+W 442 is what I carry no matter what I am wearing. Gum shorts it gets an IWB blackhawk cheapie holster. Everything else its in an Uncle Mikes #3 pocket holster. Throw a speed strip in the back pocket and you are good to go. I have not found an outfit that the 442 doesn't work easily in. Then only problem is that snubbies are likely to start accumulating in your safe.
"Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" ~ Mark Twain
Lots of great suggestions here.
I carried an LCP for years; they disappear in your front pocket.
A S&W 442 will probably follow me home soon. In my opinion, this is probably the most reliable and concealable choice for pocket carry.
I carry my Kimber Solo with CT Lasergrips every day in my right front pocket in a Desantis Superfly holster.

If pocket size is your main concern, then the LCP wins. You won't find a smaller and easier to conceal gun. Mine has been very reliable, and they're not overly expensive.
The Sig P938 looks to be a great gun, but not sure how easy it is to truly pocket carry. I'd like to see a comparison between a 938 and a S&W Shield. My shield is way too big to pocket carry.
The Sig P238 has a much nicer trigger than any other 380. It truly is a great pistol... But it's the size of many other 9mm guns such as the 938. So in my view, there's no real advantage to carrying a 238. For that size, you might as well step up to a 9mm.
Pocket Carry? In my experience my LCP is as good as it gets...
Of the Two guns that I carry in my pocket, Kahr PM9 and Ruger LCR .357, the Kahr has been getting the most Pocket time.. More than 70% of the time. A little smaller and thinner, weight is about the same
442 or LCR357. Either one of these is with me at all times as back up to a SP101 or Taurus 617.
I own a S&W .380 Bodyguard and so far am pleased with it. It fits well into a pocket, waistband or jacket without any sign or bulge. Besides the light .380 round, my only complaint would be the long trigger pull. But again, calling it what it is, it is ideal for a pocket pistol in my humble opinion.

text: There's a lot of wildlife hanging out in the woods of maine bear, moose, fox, coyotes, and deer readily come to mind.Some in our state say it also includes two animals that officials say aren't here … the cougar and the wolf.But are those two predators are really roaming the same trails many of us take advantage of?In the last 15 years, there have been a couple of documented cases of wolves in our state.They were here in the past, but could there be a larger population than we think?The experts disagree."In 30 years, with field crews living year round in the most remote areas of Maine, we have seen one suspected wolf track in all those experiences," said Dr. Dan Harrison, a Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Maine. He has spent the past three decades researching, tagging, and tracking the animals that thrive in our forests and fields.While wolves were here, he doesn't think they are here now. "Historically, Maine was wolf habitat and there are viable wolf populations just literally two days walk for a wolf north of Maine just across the Saint Lawrence river. The problem is that we fracture that matrix via the Saint Lawrence Seaway and ice is broken on a daily basis all winter which is the dispersal period for wolves so it's very difficult for a population of wolves to move to Maine although individuals do occasionally move into the state."John Glowa is the founder of the Maine Wolf Coalition. His group wants to see wolves naturally recolonize in the state. He doesn't buy the argument that development near the Maine border with Canada is a deterrent for dispersal. " A wolf that was killed in Indiana either went through or around Chicago. Wolves have been documented to disperse more than 500 miles." "So those who say that wolves can't cross the Saint Lawrence, can't cross the highways, that the area's too developed, really the wolves are proving the scientists wrong. Wolves are showing up in places where they never were expected a few years ago and there's absolutely no reason to think that they can't be here as well."Glowa says in the last 16 years, seven wolves have been confirmed in the Northeast US, from Maine to New York, and that gives him reason to believe a breeding population is already established. "Well it's not a lot of wolves, but the question we're asking is how many wolves have to be killed before the federal and state governments actually take actions to protect these animals? They are protected by federal law." "Coyotes were moving into the state for decades and it wasn't until the 50's, 60's that the State actually acknowledged their presence here so we think the same thing is happening here with wolves as well. They're moving into the state, there's no doubt about that, the problem is that neither the state nor federal government are really looking for them and certainly if you're not going to look for something you're not going to find it."But Dr. Harrison says with the amount of moose in this state, wolves would fill a void in the food chain. "The Eastern coyote does not fit fully the niche, the historic niche of the Eastern wolf and there's really very few places where you have moose densities like we have without a large canid predator that would take advantage of that prey so biologically certainly we can support wolves. The question is whether humans want wolves in their environment."With the encouragement by the state to shoot coyotes, Glowa thinks it might often be a case of mistaken identity and wolves are shot instead. "Have you heard of the three S's, shoot, shovel and shut up, that philosophy is certainly alive and well and it would come as no surprise if a significant number of other wolves were killed and simply not reported. Anybody who kills a wolf today and reports it is a fool because it's a violation of federal law."In Part Two of this Special Report we'll take a look at the existence of Cougars in Maine and we'll hear from one man who says he saw one in Baxter State Park.

Adjustable or Fixed sway bars?
I just got past my break in point for my new '11 WRX and I am looking to tighten up my handling with some front and rear sway bars. The only issue I'm having is whether I should get fixed or adjustable ones. Is there any noticeable advantage to having adjustable sway bars or is fixed a better option? Thanks!
Definitely wasn't paying attention and posted this in the wrong topic section...oops!
Get at least the 2-3 way adjustable ones. Everyone has a different driving habit.
Try this:
Go run your car (sprited) and then install the bar on the loosest setting and go run it in the same area you did before... Then go back home and put it on the tightest and go run it in the same area. You will make you decision from there.
The rear bar MAY be enough if you don't auto-x or track it.
considering the price difference, you might as well get the adjustable ones and set them up in the midle setting (advertised rate, ie 22mm means it acts like a 22mm bar in the midle of the 3 holes)
You'll get an idea of what you don't like about it, most people int Rally type driving will prefere a touch of oversteer on the road so they feel at home (I know I do) so have the front om the outer hole (normally only two) as having it tighter is likely to induce understeer) then if you just wait for a bit of rain & take it for a smooth high speed cruise & feel for over/understeer... if it oversteers and you don't like it, then move the rear to the outer (sofrt setting, if it understeers, do the opposite & move it inwards!

Here's a question for all of you. Who was the last woman to win the OGM and World title all in the same year? Was it Yamaguchi in 92, or was that the year that Yuka Sato won and Surya Bonaly threw a hissy fit?
It seems that more often than not, the OGM winner blows off Worlds entirely. And not just the ladies, either.

Awesome Product
From Emily Emerton of Rochester hills, Michigan on 4/12/2016.
I've been feeding my rabbit this for the past 9 or 10 years and she hasn't had any problems from it. She digests it well and has lived a long healthy life and she's never grown tired of the taste either. She just turned 13 if that says anything.
Excellent rabbit food
From Anonymous of Prince Rupert, British Columbia on 9/14/2015.
Both my rabbits love Oxbow pellets. Most highly recommended rabbit food brand out there!

My bunny loves these pellets!
Essentials Adult Food
From Laura of Troy, Virginia on 9/14/2014.
My bunny loves these pellets! Timothy is the main ingredient instead of alfalfa so it is better for him.
Another Wonderful Find
From Dianne Jackson of Hemet, California on 7/29/2014.
There must be something special about these pellets because my son's bunny, now in my care, actually eats them! The pellets she'd been eating were just wasted because she just wouldn't eat them. I am so happy I found these.
My Bunnies enjoy it
From Anonymous of San Marcos, Texas on 4/3/2014.
I was only feeding my bunnies veggies and hay, so I was hesitant to give them pellets. But needless to say I bought some and although it took them a few days to start eating it, they now anxiously await every morning for their bowl. They love it, I am very happy I decided to introduce pellets. Also if . . .
Quality rabbit food
From Haley of Indian Harbour Beach, Florida on 7/31/2013.
I had previously been feeding my rabbit another brand of pellets, but had heard that Oxbow is the best so I switched over, My Luna immediately took to this brand and comes running for her pellets every morning.
From Amy S of Brentwood, Tennessee on 6/10/2013.
My bunny vet told me this was the best of the best after looking at the pellets I bought from petco. I immediately made the switch and it makes me happy to know that I am providing the best food for my bun.

5 Answers | Add Yours
I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that their diploma itself will be enough to prove competence as a professional. They think that if they sail through college and are physically- but maybe not mentally- present, they will somehow absorb the skills needed for their profession. To truly become competent, people need to really be mentally present in school and take control of their education. It is important to be active in the classroom and do whatever it takes. When it comes to learning skills for a profession, it's no longer about making a grade, but about learning what needs to be learned in order to be successful at one's job.
As a teacher, I am continually attending conferences, seminars, workshops and am working on a second Master's. I feel that the requirements placed on teachers to complete CPDUs (Illinois education credits for teachers) keeps them up on the changing environment of the schools and students today. These offerings keep a teacher's professional competence up (when teachers use the knowledge as important).
As a teacher, I expect my students to learn. It is my job as a teacher to learn new things as well (mirror the behavior I desire in my students). Therefore, my education is important given my career lies in education.
I would say that you should learn everything you can while you're in school. Of course, this means that you should learn about your particular career field, but there's more to professional competence than just knowledge. You will need to learn what professional behavior looks like for your career choice. Watch your professors and others who have been in the field you wish to enter. Use this time to ask questions. Become involved in any extra activities or internships that might be offered relating to your field of interest. Now is the time to make mistakes and not during your first year in a new career.
In my opinion, professional competence can be defined as capable of doing the job well which your profession requires. As a teacher, I had to be capable of teaching students the required material in a positive way to enable them to complete tests with good scores, think for themselves, and be ready for the next year with the skills they needed. Education can help prepare a student for their future by giving them opportunities to practice those necessary skills in internships, classroom performances, and demonstrations of the levels of competence in the skill needed. A critical part of professional competence is the ability to think for yourself, to adjust to changing conditions, and to be able to evaluate yourself honestly as to your own competence. Teachers can help you learn how to evaluate your own performance, give you ideas about how to improve, and then allow you to again practice the required skill to the level needed. My opinion is based on 35 years of teaching, 4 years in sales, and many volunteer years with prisoners who need to learn professional competence in a real job.
School or college education provides one with the basic information about the subject though it is supplemented with lab work to have a practical knowledge as well. The best way is to get some hands on experience by working in the field. When I decided that I have to pursue engineering career, I also decided to go for practical training in the industry during summer vacations.
At the time I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer, I had to my credit an eight month hands-on training in four different industries. With this I have acquired enough professional competence and was ready to take any entry level responsibility in the field of mechanical engineering. By virtue of this experience I hardly came accross any major problem while performing duties in my professional career.

Herbal remedies during pregnancy: are they safe and/or effective?
Please SHARE with friends and include eMaxHealth in Google Alerts for tomorrow's great stories.
The prevalence of herbal medicine use during pregnancy is between 7% and 55%, depending upon the geographic area surveyed and the surveyed group's socio-cultural aspects and ethnicity. It is thought that the main reason women use these products during pregnancy is because they are fearful that pharmaceuticals available on the marketplace may be harmful or ineffective. However, herbal products can have adverse effects as well, and many of them are of no benefit. The medical literature contains studies evaluating herbal remedies in regard to possible benefit and harm. To date, only one herbal product, ginger, has been reported to be safe as well as beneficial to pregnant women. Ginger has been found to be just as effective as Dramamine for combating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Many deem herbal products to be safe alternatives because "they are not really medicines." That is a false assumption. Many prescription medications are derived from herbs. For example, digitalis and quinine, which are taken by heart patients, are herbal products. Furthermore, too low a dose could be ineffective, while too high a does could be fatal.
A study published in The Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine reviewed medical literature regarding the use of herbal remedies during pregnancy. The researchers identified more than 500 studies; however, many of them had design flaws and other problems. They ultimately identified 14 randomized, controlled trials, which they deemed suitable for inclusion in their evaluation. They found that ginger was the most thoroughly studied remedy, and the one found most consistently effective. It relieved nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy (morning sickness) better than a placebo, and was as good as Dramamine at doing so.
They found no evidence for any benefit from other popular herbal products. Cranberry juice, which is often used to prevent or treat bladder infections, was found to be ineffective. Preeclampsia, or toxemia of pregnancy, is a complication of pregnancy that can progress to eclampsia, manifested by seizures. Some women take garlic as a preventative for preeclampsia; however, it has no known benefit. The study also found that raspberry leaf does not shorten labor and that castor oil has no effect on inducing labor.
Please SHARE with friends and include eMaxHealth in Google Alerts for tomorrow's great stories.
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the prevalence and patterns of herbal use among U.S. women immediately before and during pregnancy. Their analysis involved10 centers across the nation with a total of 4,239 women who did not deliver a child with a major birth defect. A computer-assisted telephone interview was used to collect data from mothers about exposures in the three months before pregnancy and throughout pregnancy to delivery. The researchers found that 462 mothers (10.9%) reported use of an herbal product during that period of time. Use of herbal products was highest during the first trimester (first three months). The use of herbal products increased with age, with a higher prevalence associated with age older than 30 years. Herbal use was also highest among women with more than a high school education and those with a household income of $20,000 or more per year. The most commonly used herbals early in pregnancy were ginger (ginger is believed to prevent nausea and vomiting), and ephedra, the authors report. Later in pregnancy, herbal teas and chamomile were most commonly used. Other commonly used herbals were cranberry extract, raspberry leaf, mint or peppermint, and primrose oil.

Informative review, thanks. I have had my eye on this camera for a few months now and I'm pretty certain this is what I'll opt for. For that price, how could I go wrong?
That ISO performance is remarkable at this price point. It looks the same or better than my 5D2. IMO, light and how you handle lack of it is absolutely crucial at this price point. It takes away much of the need for expensive fast glass, and makes the world of difference to someone at entry level.
I wish this was the original spec for the D3000, as I invested in one, and only for this to come out a year later...grr.
It has all of the features and performance I would like, and as my 1st SLR, the D3000 was good, but this simply is so much better. I want to upgrade, but its very difficult finding this body only for a decent price. The D3000 is almost defunct now, thanks to this :(
@ theDman
Can't help with buyer's remorse, but if you are chasing prices you could do worse than look over at www.camerapricebuster.co.uk.
Of course, Nikon might come out with something even better next year...
@theDman: personally I'd resist the temptation to upgrade to a camera within the same price bracket so soon after your initial purchase. The body makes such a small difference relatively speaking to what you shoot upgrading just for a couple of extra features isn't going to make a vast difference to your end product. Either put the cash towards going up a level to something like the D90 (or whatever its replacement is) / D7000 or work out what sort of photography you do most and stick the cash on a suitable lens. That said the D3000 did have a fair few problems (which was a shame as they seemed to be unique to that camera, didn't crop up anywhere else in the range) so the upgrade might be a bit more noticeable than normal.
I am contemplating the move to digital SLR having used a variety of compact cameras over the past few years. The price/performance of this camera seems a no brainer, especially as most of my photography is done indoors in low light. I just don't know if I'm ready to take the jump to a bigger camera.
What was the iso setting on the last duck shot? I guessing ISO12600 as the full sized image looks simply atrocious.
I bought this camera last November (after, ahem, a Significant Birthday where i got a fair bit of cash instead of presents, as such... so bought something I wouldn't normally let myself stretch to - not to mention without the TR review that I normally look for guidance from ).
It's my first foray into DSLRs, and the picture quality is amazing, eepecially the low light performance WITHOUT the flash. I'm still learning about photography and feel this is a great step up from the 'photography as a commodity' mode/approach that everyone (including myself) has gotten into. The liveview mode is welcome; but could do with more continuous shooting capacity. I actually find it a tad small on the physical handling side (i'm only 5'7" tall without sausage fingers!) but it does feel bulletproof (actually feels heavier and better-built than my old Canon EOS SLR from days gone by). Got a good package deal with a 85-200 zoom, memory card, filters and bag from Jessops (nothing like buying online and collect - with Quidco cashback - to make you feel good as you got a decent deal AND you get to Play With Your New Toy on the same day... :-) not necessarily the best deal, but you get the gist!)
As a first step up from Point&Shoot camera phones/c£200 digitals, I honestly think it's a cracking piece of kit which will fire your creative tendencies. Well, it did mine...
Being a fan of Canon, I was considering either the Canon 1000D or Canon 550D but after I knew that this camera can still produce good result at ISO 1600 - that seriously is something impressive and remarkable for an entry level DSLR and that can be an important factor for me to consider this camera as well. In general, this D3100 kick out all the "features" that Canon 1000D can offer (though it's unfair to compare this latest model against the old 1000D)... sigh...
It compares pretty well against the new 1100D though too, John, especially taking into consideration the price difference.
I've just purchased this camera to replace a Sony a700 (which I found awkward to use, not terribly well built and far too big and heavy for day to day use) and I couldn't be happier. The only gripe I have is the lack of a USB cable in the box. Luckily any old 5 pin will work happily.
Bought this DSLR about a month ago with a bag, UV filter, 4Gb SD card and the kit lens for £518 (£478 with the £40 cashback) from Jessops and they threw in a USB webcam this had the missing USB cable even though I have plenty of the same cables.
I bought it to replace a Sony a200K which I found heavy even without a lens attached. The D3100 feels a lot lighter than the Sony a200.
Although the only photos I have taken are of the pets in low light using the guide mode it produced far better results than I expected, I just wish this DSLR had being out when I bought the Sony, I would have bought the D3100 without doubt.
This is my first SLR and i am an amateur. It has very good essential features and so easy to operate. You will buy this camera if you do not plan to be a pro in the future.
Best for beginners with decent Megapixels for high-detailed photos and videos.
