Glad you had a good outing there HevChev50. How in the world did you wait one year before firing a new gun? I would have went nuts. See you next year for your second range report. Have a good day and keep us in the loop. Good luck.
Actually got around to doing it last week at our mountain range for the first time in almost exactly one year since I bought it. Shot steel plates with it but didn't try it out on paper bullseye targets to test accuracy. I'll do that at another time. Recoil was almost straight back because of the low bore axis, but not as soft shooting as my Glock 19. I had two other buddies try it also and they agreeded with my assessment. It was reliable and I had no problems knocking down plates in rapid succession. I'm going to try out some various reloads that are within the pistol's design perimeters to test for functional reliability and accuracy in the near future.

Naw, I'll probably try it out this coming week at the indoor range for some accuracy shooting. I also noted that it got a little warm around the trigger guard area after about five mags. It wasn't really uncomfortable but it isn't the type of handgun that you can shoot a hundred rounds through in rapid succession without having to put it down to cool for a while. The reason I brought up the recoil thing is that these guns were touted for being the lightest kicking 9mm handgun around even at the time that Glocks were in full production. I find that it wasn't the case. But like I stated before, it wasn't a whole lot more and from what I judged from shooting at steel plates, these handguns are capable of excellent accuracy in rapid fire drills. Out here in California these guns are going to be taken off the "approved" list this September, which means the only way you'll be able to buy them would be a person to person legal private transfer at a local FFL. They won't be shipped into the state and you have to aquire it from someone who already owned it in-state prior to the cut off period. I expect these guns to fetch higher prices here after this happens.
I can understand buying for a investment but I just don't have it in me. Last year my wife bought two different revolvers with all the trimmings. You know display cases tools and such. With in 24hrs I had one fired up and shooting. The other one lasted three days I think. I had a bad cold and was down a couple of days. I see brand new still in the box guns that are 30 and 40 years old and wonder how they can do it. I bought a 24yr old revolver in a shop that came out of a mans collection that had passed. It had been fired twice and was brand new. Yep I shoot the fire out of it all the time.
Well, there's certainly something good about staying in practice, Baldy. As for my P7, it's almost like it says "don't you dare touch me!", and so I remain afraid to violate it. Eventually I'll work up the courage to, especially if the Schumer hits the fan, when the investment concept will be moot.
I don't see how you folks do it hahaha. I couldn't go a day without shooting a new gun. From the shop to the range is the order of operations. Now a classic Anaconda,Python, King Cobra...oh thats a different story.
1. when I bought my python it went straight to the range.
why not shoot it whats it worth when you old or dead.
short story I knew a guy that collected colt saa revolvers.nib unfired not turned.he died his kids took them out and shot the snot out of them then pawned them for next to nothing.

Maintenance needed for the BMW- New struts, shock tower mounts, strut tower mount, alignment, oil change(buy wix), cabin air filter(replaced), window tint - not really a necessity, at least yet-, window regulator, fuel filter, air filter, and whenever I get the opportunity replace the abs sensors/rotors/and inspect brake pads(drilled/slotted)hmm..Take Bimmer to a professional detailer so they can take away the weird old cigar smoke the previous owner put in the car. Oh and today the car hesitated to start, so I'll need to replace the spark plugs..well basically a complete tune up, depending on how much I can afford at the time. Fix the C pillar in the rear passenger side, which isn't too bad. The center console has a couple of scratches so I'd like to get a brand new replacement. Brand new rain x wipers to replace current set which still work, I just want to get it done so I don't have to worry about it. Make sure a/c has enough freon. After this is all done, replace transmission fluid which includes replacing gasket, filter etc. And after this is all done I can safely enjoy my joy rides on the freeway, lol.

North Bay is a city in Northeastern Ontario, Canada with a population of 63,424. It is the seat of Nipissing District, and takes its name from its position on the shore of Lake Nipissing.
The site of North Bay was on the main canoe route west from Montreal, and Apart from First Nations tribes, voyageurs and surveyors, there was little activity in the Lake Nipissing area until the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1882.
North Bay is a community of energetic people - featuring many festivals, attractions and a wide range of special events. The combination of natural elements - forests, water and clean air - creates a healthy environment for working, living and raising a family.
North Bay has its own Farmers Market that runs from May long weekend to Thanksgiving. If you enjoy farm fresh produce, plants, home made preserves and fresh baked goods, the North Bay Farmers' Market is something you can't miss.
North Bay plays host to many recreation opportunities, which are supported by trails for walking, biking, or hiking. There are activities available in North Bay during all seasons including: beaches, a marina, golf, arenas, skiing and snowmobiling.
Whether you prefer full service accommodations or like roughing it – North Bay offers everything you are looking for. Visit a museum, go shopping or sit back and enjoy a live theatre performance. You can also spend time in the sun by taking a ride on a carousel, or the heritage mini train located at the waterfront. There are plenty of events and/or festivals to attend, and the beaches offer you the perfect opportunity to enjoy both sun and sand.
Come experience everything that North Bay has to offer!

Wyeth Credit Rating Affirmed
On Sept. 27, 2002, Standard & Poor's said it affirmed its 'A' corporate credit and long-term ratings and its 'A-1' short-term ratings for Madison, N.J.-based Wyeth (WYE ) and its subsidiaries. The outlook remains stable. The company had about $10 billion of debt outstanding at June 30, 2002.
The action was in response to Wyeth's announcement that it was lowering earnings estimates for 2002, mainly because of the recent decline in sales of its lead product, the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) franchise, Premarin/Prempro, and was incurring an additional diet-drug litigation-related charge of $1.4 billion.
The ratings and outlook on Wyeth reflect the company's still-solid position in the high-margin pharmaceutical business and its relatively young and diverse drug portfolio, partially offset by the uncertain impact to sales of its Premarin/Prempro franchise, financial leverage resulting from the 1999-2000 settlement of its diet-drug litigation, and the possibility of additional charges.
Wyeth's drug portfolio remains diverse, with several products, such as the antidepressant, Effexor; the pneumococcal vaccine, Prevnar, the gastrointestinal drug, Protonix; and the rheumatoid arthritis treatment, Enbrel, generating strong growth. The company has increased drug-development productivity over the past several years, having launched several new products. Unlike several of its major pharmaceutical peers, Wyeth also does not face any significant near-term patent expirations.
However, sales of Wyeth's lead franchise, Premarin/Prempro, have been hurt by the recent halting of a federal study of HRT, due to an increased risk of breast cancer. Premarin/Prempro generated more than $2 billion in sales in 2001 and represented 22% of Wyeth's pharmaceutical sales. Sales of Premarin/Prempro have declined roughly 25% thus far but have seemingly stabilized. Nevertheless, the long-term impact to sales is unknown.
Meanwhile, the company has incurred an additional $1.4 billion charge relating to its 1999 litigation settlement involving its two withdrawn diet drugs, Redux and Pondimin. The charge is the fourth in four years. The latest charge is due to a greater-than-anticipated number of claims filed in the nationwide settlement. Standard & Poor's expects that, while further diet-drug litigation charges are a possibility, any more such charges will be individually less than $2 billion and that related cash payouts will be spread out. The remaining $2.2 billion litigation reserve, including the $1.4 billion charge, is projected to be paid out over the next several years.
Financially, the company remains conservative and is focusing on de-levering its balance sheet. Net debt leverage is roughly 39%. The company has largely funded its $14.65 billion diet-drug settlement, having paid out $12.3 billion over the past 3 1/2 years.
As of June 28, 2002, Wyeth had $3.2 billion in on-hand cash and cash equivalents. The company also has a $3 billion 364-day credit facility, expiring March 2003 but renewable for another year and a new $2 billion 364-day credit facility, which will be reduced to two-thirds its committed amount on Dec. 31, 2002, and one-third on May 8, 2003, to support commercial paper borrowings. Other than amounts outstanding under the company's commercial paper program, Wyeth does not have any significant debt maturities over the intermediate term.
With the completion of Amgen Inc.'s acquisition of Immunex Corp., Wyeth, which owned 41% of Immunex, received 98.3 million shares of Amgen, as well as $1 billion in cash. Wyeth may seek to liquidate its 7.7% ownership of Amgen, although Wyeth cannot sell more than 20 million shares per quarter. At current share prices, Wyeth's stake in Amgen is valued at more than $4 billion. Wyeth is also in the midst of selling certain assets of its generic human injectable pharmaceuticals to Baxter Corp. for $305 million. Thus, given Wyeth's significant on-hand cash, borrowing capacity under its credit facility, proceeds from the subsequent sale of its stake in Amgen, and expected strong funds from operations, liquidity is expected to remain significant.
The current rating and stable outlook does not factor in additional significant diet-drug litigation-related charges or a further steep decline in Premarin/Prempro sales. Standard & Poor's expects that the company will use its continued strong cash flows generated from its diverse pharmaceutical portfolio and proceeds from the any divestiture of its Amgen shares to fund future litigation payments and debt reduction.

Help support your Meetup
Ever hear about the Art Salon of Paris in the 1800's and New York in the early 1900's. Our artist friends agree that we need a place today to gather, discuss the arts, show current work and reflect on past artist's work. It is an experiment, testing to see whether the topics that intrigue us have meaning and significance beyond a select few, and seeking to create a time/space within which we can stir a lively, rigorous discussion about the state of art - local, national and international - yours, mine, and ours. Karl Blomseth initially created Fertile Minds Foto Workshops and this Art Salon is an extension beyond the narrow focus on photography. We have regular, monthly Art Salon gatherings where both new and confirmed artists meet, together with willing amateurs.
NOTE: It is our intention to build bridges, not to tear bridges down. We are not here to judge, jury or critique any artists' work. If artists want critique of work, it is up to them to seek out a mentor in their own field. The audience and guests are encouraged to be positive and supportive of the artists, not judgmental. Our mission is to have fun and to LEARN ABOUT ART in a safe environment.
BTW: We are not your typical group where singles come to hook up with other singles for possible dating. People certainly meet and build relationships but it's focus is an art discussion group, not a dating group.
Respectfully yours,
Karl Blomseth, founder
Wendy Blomseth, co-founder

Thunderstorms expected on warm Thursday evening
WESTERN MONTANA - Thunderstorms this evening are the beginning of a more active weather pattern across Montana in the week ahead.
Warm air ahead of an approaching storm system today will send temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s. This will provide energy for thunderstorm development. Increasing moisture this afternoon will help kick off storms in the late afternoon. Storms will likely begin developing during the afternoon just to the east of Spokane, Washington and Lewiston, Idaho as the mountains there provide extra lift.
Storms will move across Idaho and into Montana during the evening hours. Most of these storms will be on the weak side, but a few will produce gusty winds and hail in addition to lightning and localized heavy rain. Forecast models are showing the most energy for these storm to tap into will be north of Butte and west of the Continental Divide. This area is where the strongest storms will form. The greatest impact will be between 5 pm and 10 pm today.
Those overnight hours leading into Friday morning are the best chance we have for rainfall in the near term. Northwest Montana, especially around Glacier National Park, has a good chance to pick up around a quarter of an inch by Saturday morning.
Cool air arrives Friday morning which will limit highs to the mid 60s through the weekend. Higher elevations will see highs only in the 50s on Saturday with scattered showers expected into next week.

Watch for Panic Attacks
Posted by ritavaags on Jun 12, 2012 | Verified Purchase
While I am a huge fan of NOW foods products (particularly their vegan capsule line), I must give you a heads up on consuming either too much B6 or having an imbalanced consumption... I am normally a pretty optimistic person so I was greatly surprised when I was suddenly experiencing panic attacks at night. I could not figure out why until my father asked me if I was on a B6 supplement. I was stunned at the realization that the panic attacks coincided with when I started the supplement. I stopped taking it to see if anything changed and sure enough, within a couple of days, the panic attacks stopped! I have had none since (and this was a year ago already). I would suggest a balanced B-complex unless a health care practitioner/naturopath has specifically suggested taking this as a separate supplement.

Packaging issues

This item I have only recently commenced ordering along with my regular Vitamins I consistently order with iherb from Australia for approximately 8 years now and whilst the product is good - the packaging is poor - The Vitamins arrive after probably 2 weeks in transit and the Vitamin containers have been smashing up against one another inside the box as there is rarely sufficiently packing material to hold them in place/position securely ...not even newspaper! I have emailed iherb and raised the issue ...I was ignored! It does make one wonder just how important is the customer ?- even one who spends $100's each year! It is largely because of their packaging that I find I cannot recommend them to others in Australia as a company to others to rely on!.

A/C Questions before I take it in...
Long story short I have no A/C. In addition, the blower motor runs for awhile then starts slowing down while making a noise like the blade is hitting something. Leave it off for awhile and it'll start back up. It seems the speed setting has a direct effect on how long it'll blow before dying. The vent position switch is currently disconnected because it stopped turning. I manually switched the vent to "Vent" at the box by gas pedal. The A/C and RECIRC lights both come on as they should. The compressor clutch does not engage at any point, but interestingly enough the cooling fans don't turn on either which they should automatically come on when the A/C is turned on AFAIK. It's like the car doesn't know the A/C has been turned on. I couldn't test switching the relays because the plastic caps came off both the headlight ones but the relays wouldn't budge.
I read through the thread at the top of this forum but I'm wondering if the fan and A/C not working are related and if i'm right that the fans should come on when the A/C is on.
57 Views and nobody knows if the fans are supposed to turn on with the A/C? Ugh.
More info if it helps.
1) I have now either unplugged or swapped out ever single relay, fuse, or diode related to the A/C system. Unplugging any of them had no effect at all in the way the system operated until I got to the inside fuse for the A/C Switch/Instrumentation.
2)The idle does not increase as it should when I turn the A/C on. It should fluctuate in time with turning the A/C on an off and as such does not increase air pressure either with cycling the system. The RECIRC switch does increase air pressure.
3)Turning to Defrost does not engage A/C clutch as it should.
Like I said before, it's like the car doesn't even know the A/C is on. To me that makes it seem like it's not a compressor problem because the other signs of the A/C being on aren't there.
And then there's the whole thing with the blower but I found a guy who'll sell me a blower and new Vent Control Cable for $45 so at least I'll get those parts fixed even though they aren't the source of the problem.
It could be possible that the freon is low and it's not letting the compressor kick in. That could be a simple check to evac the system and see how much is in there.
Also I wonder what's up with the blower motor. I'd probably check and make sure nothing worked it's way in there. When I put a cabin filter in my svt (don't have them stock from the factory) you could see right down to the squirrel cage for the blower motor.
Maybe, but wouldn't the idle still kick up as that's a computerized function? And then there's still the issues of the cooling fans not kicking in when the A/C is turned on.
The blower is a matter of it heating up and getting out of round as far as I can tell. It will run a long time on 2, but not so long on 4. That looks easily replaceable so I'll just just do it.
Maybe the blower motor resistor is failing when you're running on high for an extended period of time. I've also seen the breaker for the high speed for blower motors get weak and kick out on high speed.
I'm not sure if there's some kind of fail safe that won't let the a/c system kick on if it's low on freon? I'm a heavy duty tech for a living, but just trying to lend a hand. I guess you could check the a/c connections for "dust" build up around them for leaks.
I haven't looked at the connections yet as they're kind of buried and I just had lung surgery a couple weeks ago so I won't be jacking up the car to get in there for a few days or so. Since I have a SAP front bumper now I can see the condenser perfectly clear and I can say it looks fine and the connections on it are clean so if there is a leak it's not there. The A/C worked just fine before the engine got replaced and I watched the guy who put my new engine in evac the system and refill it; he even taught me about what he was doing. We tried it at the shop and it seemed just fine and I didn't really use it much that summer because it was August by that point. That was last summer. Now it doesn't work at all. So yeah, I'm sure there's a leak.
(oh, and the compressor only has like 20k on it)
No , if the compressor is not kicking on the IAC will not raise the idle. Most likly the freon Is low , and it is not letting the ac pressure switch close. Need to check the pressures in the system. And the blower motor fan hitting some thing. The bearing is shot and the blower needs to be replaced, easy job.
Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear, that there was a reason the other things weren't happening. I wanted something difinitive in regards to how the parts work together. Well, today was my first pain free day in a couple months, maybe I'll get a gauge and test it later this week. And the fans are also controlled then by the pressure switch or just somehow the system knows the comp isn't kicking in so it's also not kicking in the fans?
AFA blower, yeah, I'm replacing it. I guess bearings are more likely than it warping out of round, eh? :)
The a/c fan should still be comming on. Your statement of car dosen't know the a/c is on sounds TRUE. On my focus if the selector is in certain positions it won't let my ac run. Bypassing it and manually changing doors might have something to do with this.
need to check for signal at he relay. You can jump the compressor to test the clutch activation
You can use a 90degree pick or screwdriver to pry relay from underneath to check for power or swap in a known good relay
Blower hitting probally bad blower mabey bad cage also, Turning off probally resister/melted resister plug end or just a dead fan motor need to check power and ground at fan when it's not running. I would fix this Piece by piece. And need to take freon pressure should be around 45lbs at low side.
That's all beside the point ATM. USARice, your AC problems are most likely all in the dash. The whole AC system is connected so that if one part is not functioning- nothing works. For example, if the blower inside the cabin isn't working, the AC controls aren't going to allow the compressor to engage. That means that the engine cooling fans aren't going to kick on. If I were you, I'd fix the blower and vent selector first. Barring any other problems, that will likely fix your AC for you. The vent selector works on a cable, so follow the cable down and make sure there's not a physical obstruction behind the dash causing your vents from not switching. You can purchase a new cable from Ford if needed. I'll bet it's a physical obstruction though- like a coke bottle cap that got bounced up in a bad spot.
If you get around to getting the AC working, then when it dies due to a leak, we can help you fix it.
BTW, if you have gauges, without the engine or compressor on, the readings will be the same on low and high side. I would expect to see figures about 20-30 psi over ambient temp in F. Don't read too much into those figures unless you read lower than ambient temp- higher is ok for now.

EY Real Estate and Hotels Workshops
'Setting a course for the future'
Consider other strategies
Challenges and opportunities in emerging markets
Although high potential returns make emerging markets extremely attractive to real estate developers and investors, risk management is a concern. From the emerging markets' perspective, hosting high- profile global events, such as the Olympic Games, should be seen as an opportunity to drive regeneration projects.
This panel session brought together clients from Odebrecht Real Estate in Brazil and PGGM of The Netherlands with EY real estate partners from Brazil, India and Russia.
Are you looking at the emerging markets?
Source: Delegate poll results from the EY Real Estate Workshop 2013
A clear majority (57%) of real estate professionals attending the conference said they were looking at emerging markets. The reasons are clear: "It is four times harder to make returns in established markets than in emerging markets," explained M&A Director, EY Brazil, Viktor Andrade.
However, emerging markets are also seen as presenting higher risk. When asked about the barriers to investment in emerging markets, 28% of conference participants said their risk management committee (or similar body) did not approve of investments in emerging markets, while another 18% identified perceived political risks, and 17% highlighted perceived corruption risks.
The emerging markets perhaps best placed to overcome perception problems are those exposed to international attention through hosting major global events. With Russia staging the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi, and Brazil hosting both the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, interest in these markets will be high. They could also, like London, seek to maximize the benefit of their host status by using the opportunity to regenerate areas that would otherwise struggle to attract investment.
"It's hard to understand how investors can afford not to be in emerging markets like Brazil. Capital flows to emerging markets are growing at 16% per year, as opposed to only 3% among developed economies. It's an irreversible trend. It's a question of necessity to deploy capital to markets that can absorb and need that capital. In emerging markets, for each US$1.00 of GDP generated, you have US$1.00 of capital stock. In the developed economies you have US$4.00 of capital stock for each US$1.00 of GDP generated. So it is four times harder to make returns in established markets than in emerging markets. "
Viktor Andrade
M&A Director, EY Brazil
"Russian companies, together with foreign investors who have been established locally for a while, and the government, remain the main players in the Russian market. The growing importance of the government's role is noteworthy due to its significant infrastructure projects such as the 2014 Sochi Olympics Games, the expansion of the Moscow territory and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. "
Olga Arkhangelskaya
CIS Real Estate Leader, EY
"Investors who are interested in Brazil now are looking project by project instead of at equity investments in corporations so that they can choose where they are involved. Brazil is and will be a country of large cities. We are in 8 cities, which represent 70% of the market — we have no interest in going into 20 or 30 cities. I believe the way to play the market is to play large projects where you find reliable partners in large cities."

There are some shutters or jalousies neccesary to get the rooms darker, to get some sleep in the morning. World Comeback back, thank you.

We had a very nice stay at Prague in the Executive Bright Appartement. It was a nice, little appartement, tidy and absolute alright for three people. The hosts gave us a lot information about the trams, exchanges, etc. which was very helpful if you stay the first time in Prague.
Very good and clean apartment!
was a really nice trip and a nice flat in the centre of prague!
was there with 3 friends and the flat was perfect.
best regards,
flo :)
Very central. A lot of traffic, but easy to get around the city by foot. Very good service at arrival at the office at Opletalova. Two rooms all together, one bedroom behind the kitchen, and the other room with 2-3 beds and a dining table, so it's might be a bit crammed for 5 grownups / larger kids, if you stayed for a longer period of time. Nice interior and clean place. If you go by car: Reserve a parking lot before arrival, e.g. at Mr. Parkit - the price is fair and you cannot park in the street, you can only stop for a while to drop off the suitcases etc.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We really enjoyed our stay in Prag!
When we have booked this flat, Alex and Anastasia had contact us even before our stay. They were so friendly and let us know all the important information. When we arrived in Prag, we got a map with all the important stuff on it and Alex also sent a mail to ask, if everything is okay. The apartment was cosy and clean and just a few steps from Wenceslas Square.
We really recommend this flat! :)
A huge thank you to Alex and Anastasia, you made our stay unforgettable.
location of the office and the apartment is very close to the main station and the inner city and therefore easily to reach by foot. people in the office are friendly, proper english speaking and helpfull. the apartment itself gave a great impression, all clean, well-equipped and working (dish-washer and so on). the perfect base to explore the city and relaxe afterwards.

Santa Barbara Non-Proft Sends $10 Million in Aid to Philippines
Biggest Shipment in Direct Relief''s 65 year History
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The death toll from Haiyan has surged past 5,000 people, and thousands more are homeless and in need of medical supplies. That's where local non-profit Direct Relief International stepped in, teaming up with with Fed Ex to deliver more than $10 million dollars worth of supplies to the devastated country.
It was one of the most intense natural disasters on record- Typhoon Haiyan, the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane, killed over 5 thousand people and displaced over 13 million.
In the aftermath of the storm, Santa Barbara based non-profit Direct Relief mobilized support to provide medical resources for those affected by the storm.
Kerri Murray, Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Developmen, said "Direct Relief is sending out the biggest shipment in our 65 year history. It's 50 tons of emergency supplies and it's on the way to Cebu City to help people in need."
The air shipment contained enough medical supplies to treat over 250,000 people: half the supplies were donated by Direct Relief. The other half was donated by Heart to Heart International, a non-profit based out of Kansas City.
"We know that there are so many health facilities in the Philippines that have been destroyed. Direct Relief wants to make sure that we get the right medicines in the right hands," Murray said.
The immediate focus of the shipment is to build an emergency supply chain in order to improve health services. Direct Relief expects to continue to offer aid to the Philippines as they continue to rebuild from this disaster.

|Dishing About Dolls: Celebs let their hair down and their doll opinions fly!
|Written by Stephanie Finnegan
|Tuesday, 10 September 2013 19:07
Oscar winner and extraordinary dancer, Ginger Rogers had her career and costumes immortalized as a paper doll book.
I love to talk! Even beyond that, I love to read, browse the Internet, and discover really intriguing sound bites. With everything circulating on the Web these days, it seems as if quotes should be termed "babble bytes" because everyone's thoughts—whether they are kilobytes or megabytes in length—will be borrowed, circulated, and blogged about.
Celebrities do tons of interviews, write lots of memoirs, pen self-help tomes, and chat up a storm—either on their own or through the help of a really good publicist (or even ghost writer).
With all the hands-on grooming and professionally primped garbing that the stars go through—male and female alike—it's not surprising that the notion of being like a doll pops up so frequently. Here, then, are some pretty eye-opening confessions regarding dolls, dreams, and doing one's own thing—when their agent gives the green light.
Hope you like these limited-edition "babble bytes."
"The ugly duckling is a misunderstood universal myth. It's not about turning into a blond Barbie doll or becoming what you dream of being. It's about self-revelation—becoming who you really are."
"I traveled with my mother, Lela, and there was never enough money. I always had to roll down my silk stockings and carry a doll when we bought train tickets so I could go half-fare! If we had $3, we always figured how to tip for the trunks and still eat!"
"I do myself up kind of like a doll. I have a doll collection and I look at their outfits and kind of imitate them."
"I love looking like a doll and all that stuff, like playing dress up, but when I'm home, sweatpants and T-shirt. When I'm in the studio, sweats and a tee."
"I don't think I'm alone when I say, I'd love to have a doll of Heidi Klum. What would I do with it? I can't say. . . ."
"I was honored and humbled when a doll was made of me. I hope my doll can inspire little girls to dream big and to do more with their futures! Fairy tales can come true for you. Just don't be so fast to think the villain always wears a black hat or a black cape."
"You're like 22 girls in one/And none of them know what they're running from/Was it just too far to fall for a little paper doll?"
"Being made into a bear or a doll is strange, but you come to accept it. I look at our dolls and bears and I think, Our stomachs should be pressed and a voice would say, 'I love Justin Bieber!'"
"There's nobody else that can double me, except for a doll!"
"People thought I was this doll that came to life, so I would have different people just treating me very strangely, as far as I was concerned. They wanted to see if I was real."
"I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, 'I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.'"
"Being married is kind of like being a Ken doll; you don't get to dress yourself anymore."
"In a way, he made me think of a child doll, with brilliant faintly red-brown glass eyes—a doll that had been found in an attic. I wanted to polish him with kisses, clean him up, make him even more radiant than he was."
"I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm turning into a rag doll. When the stylists and the hairstylists come at me, I just go limp. If they want to put lipstick on me, I just pout for them. I'm a living, breathing doll."
"I enjoy getting dressed as a Barbie doll. What red-blooded American gal would?"
"Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type."
"These days, a woman is supposed to have a Caucasian's blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a button nose, tan skin that is flawless, the hips of a 9-year-old boy, Michelle Obama's arms, and Barbie's breasts. The only person who has come close to achieving this is Kim Kardashian—who, as we know, was designed by Russian scientists to defeat our Olympic athletes."

Posted by Ellen Carney on May 19, 2011
I got jolt this morning, and it wasn't from my coffee. The headlines in my morning insurance news push were all about last night's announcement that Allstate was acquiring esurance and an agency sibling, Answer Financial for $1 billion (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-18/allstate-to-buy-esurance-in-1-b...). Along with the fact that esurance itself has gone to market with what every ebusiness executive has stated as the big strategy over the near-term—giving the customer the choice in how they want to engage with its new "Technology When You Want It, People When You Don't" tagline—this deal could well be the start of a more interesting trend: a bigger wave of M&A among Tier 1 carriers.
This news was especially tantalizing because we just wrapped up a series of interviews with insurance thought leaders to get a perspective for how the insurance industry was going to look in 2020. We wanted to understand how these changes were going to impact the jobs of ebiz executives in insurance. This is what we heard:
Enabled by "big data", carriers are going to:
All of which have big implications for what insurance ebusiness teams will be challenged to do. Look for our thoughts on what 2020 is going to mean later this quarter.

Zambia and Nigeria clashed with each other in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Group C on Friday.
Both sides had drawn their respective opening games of the competition and their match at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit also ended in a 1-1 draw.
Emmanuel Emenike broke the deadlock on 57 minutes for the Nigerians, and with just five minutes of normal time remaining Kennedy Mweene made it 1-1 from the penalty spot.
Re-live all the action between Zambia and Nigeria with Sports Mole's minute-by-minute text commentary.
2.32pmHello and welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations clash between Zambia and Nigeria. This is a Group C game and you can follow all the action live as it happens here on this page.
2.34pmHeading into the match, Zambia and Nigeria both find themselves on one point from one match. While the former drew 1-1 with Ethiopia, the latter were held to a 1-1 draw by Burkina Faso.
2.36pmTeam news coming up now...
2.38pmZAMBIA STARTING XI: Mweene; Musonda, Sunzu, Mbola, Nkausu; Kalaba, Lungu, Sinkala; Chansa; Katongo, Mayuka
2.40pmNIGERIA STARTING XI: Enyeama; Oboabona, Echiejile, Omeruo, Onazi; Mikel, Ogude; Igiebor, Musa; Moses, Emenike
2.44pmSo the big team news this afternoon is that Victor Moses has recovered from his hamstring injury that forced him to miss out Nigeria's clash against Burkina Faso on Monday. Zambia midfielder Chisamba Lungu too has passed a late fitness test and has recovered from his ankle injury.
2.45pmWe are just around 15 minutes away from kickoff at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. You would have normally thought that Nigeria would be overwhelming favourites today, but the FIFA rankings would suggest otherwise. Zambia are currently ranked 34th in the world, while Nigeria are in 57th place. Surprised?
2.48pmSome interesting stats for you now. Nigeria was the last team to beat Zambia in the Nations Cup - that was in 2010. In Afcon tournaments, Nigeria and Zambia have scored four goals against each other. So I would expect goals today.
2.51pmAs we await for kickoff, let's hear from the two captains. First up is Zambia's Christopher Katongo: "We are not under any pressure, but we acknowledge that after this game [against Ethiopia] we need to improve and work harder and that, for sure, we will do. As defending champions, it was not a fair result to get."
2.53pmNigeria captain Joseph Yobo: "We were disappointed after the first game, it wasn't easy to accept that setback, but that's behind us now. Now we have the defending champions in front of us, it's going to be very tough. We've got to concentrate right till the end, and we've got to learn from our mistakes. We believe we can beat Zambia, it's all about getting points now, we can't afford to lose."
2.55pmTickets for this match have sold out, so I would expect to find a packed stadium. The atmosphere should be electric for this!
2.57pmKickoff is just minutes away as the two sets of players are ready to begin proceedings...
0 minAnd the match gets underway...
1 minThe pitch seems to be a in a bad condition really and the conditions could make it difficult for the teams to play a passing game.
2 minNigeria hogging the possession at the moment, as Musa whips in a cross from the left flank but does not find any teammate inside the Zambia penalty area to take advantage of it.
4 minZambia have got themselves into the match now and are passing the ball around decently.
6 minZambia try to craft a chance again, as Joseph Musonda plays in a cross that Emmanuel Mayuka heads towards goal but fails to make the most of it.
8 minIt has been a bright side to the match - a lively opening minutes that have seen both teams look to play the ball forward and make an early breakthrough. It has been a competitive affair as well thus far.
10 minTen minutes gone in the first half and it is still goalless between Zambia and Nigeria. The two teams are cancelling out each other at the moment. I can see a number of empty seats inside the stadium - this match was supposed to be a sell-out!
11 minMISS! Musa is released down the right from a long ball from the midfield, gallops with it and then whips in a cross-cum-shot that goes just over the Zambia crossbar.
13 minMikel does well to clear the ball from inside the Nigeria penalty area just in time! There was a Zambia player lurking around and that could have caused problems had Mikel not been alert.
15 minAccording to the current stats, Nigeria have 54% of the ball while Zambia have been on the ball 46% of the time.
16 minMISS! Zambia's Rainford Kalaba smashes his shot wide of the post from an acute angle on the left after being released with a wonderful ball. It was a brilliant piece of play from Zambia, but Kalaba should have hit the target at least from that position.
18 minGood piece of skill from Nigeria's Victor Moses, who gets past two Zambia defenders on his way to the byline, but is eventually dispossessed. Zambia need to be careful of allowing him to run at them again.
21 minZambia are giving Nigeria a stiff test in this contest and are not looking intimidated at all. However, it is the Nigerians who have settled down and are looking more composed at the moment.
23 minNigeria go on the attack now as a cross is drilled in from the right, but Mweene collects with it with ease.
24 minPENALTY! Nigeria is awarded a penalty as Zambia defender Davies Nkausu dives in on Ahmed Musa. Had to be given
26 minPENALTY MISS! John Obi Mikel misses his spot kick! He drags his effort on to the post and wide. Oh, what a golden opportunity missed by Nigeria to go ahead.
29 minZambia almost make Nigeria pay for that penalty miss with a free kick just outside the area. Chisamba Lungu curls in a free kick towards the bottom corner that draws out a great save from Vincent Enyeama.
32 minOh, Katongo is sent through on goal with a lovely ball but the linesman adjudges that he was in an offside position. Zambia are controlling proceedings at the moment.
35 minYELLOW CARD Godfrey Oboabona becomes the first player in this match to be booked.
36 minCHANCE! Nigeria survive another scare as Sunzu's header from Kalaba's free kick from close range at the far post goes just wide. Nigeria are on the back foot at the moment.
38 minCHANCE! Now Katongo unleashes a speculative effort after getting round his marker, but it goes wide of the mark.
40 minFive minutes of first-half action. Zambia are clearly dominating proceedings at the moment and have forced Nigeria on the back foot. If only Mikel had been able to convert his penalty...
42 minNigeria are struggling to find creativity or imagination to take the game to Zambia really. With the firepower they have, you would expect them to do better.
45 minJust one minutes of injury time has been added at the end of the first half.
45+1 minCHANCE! Zambia end the first half on a stronger note, as they force Enyeama into making a last-ditch save. A diagonal ball is played from the left by Kalaba to the right side of the penalty area from where a cross is drilled in by Chansa. Enyeama dives in to collect the cross across the face of the goal!
45+2 minHALF-TIME: Zambia 0-0 Nigeria
3.50pmIt's half time at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, and it's goalless between Zambia and Nigeria. It was an evenly contested first half that saw Zambia put the Nigerians on the back foot for much of the game.
3.55pmHowever, it was the Nigerians who had the best chance of the match and that came on 26 minutes when they were awarded a penalty. John Obi Mikel, though, failed to hit the target from 12 yards. That saw Zambia wrestle the initiative and control proceedings for the remainder of the first half, forcing Enyeama into making saves on a number of occasions.
3.58pmThe second half will begin in a matter of minutes. Both sides will know that a draw will not be good enough for their ambitions to progress into the quarter-finals, so perhaps they would show more attacking propensity in the second period.
45 minAnd now the second half gets underway, with Nigeria kicking off proceedings at th Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit...
47 minIt has been a slow start to the second half as both sides are still cancelling out each other...
49 minCHANCE! Ahmed Musa goes close again for Nigeria! He is released down the right and shoots on goal from a tight angle that is also partly a cross, but his effort is just shy of Emmanuel Emenike, who was rushing on towards goal to poke it home.
52 minWas that a penalty!? Sunzu and Emenike clash with each other inside the Zambia penalty area, but the referee award a free kick to the Zambians.
55 minMISS! What a howler from Mweene! Emenike gets in between two defenders and somehow manages to get a shot in that goes just wide of an empty goal as Mweene had rushed out of his line.
57 minGOAL! Zambia 0-1 Nigeria (Emenike)
57 minNigeria take the lead and it is the man who has looked the most dangerous in the second half who has scored the opening goal of the afternoon. Emmanuel Emenike is played through by John Obi Mikel and he fired home from inside the area into the left-hand corner, as the Zambian defence collapse around him.
58 minEmenike has been on fire in the opening minutes of the second half and deservedly scores his goal today. Zambia are looking flattened at the moment, as the Nigerians have started to take control of proceedings.
60 minHalf an hour left in this match, half an hour for Zambia to score the equaliser. They look disheartened since conceding the goal, to be honest, and I am not sure if they can stage a comeback.
61 minCHANCE! Emenike almost scores his second goal of the afternoon, as he is prevented from taking his shot on goal by a diving Sunzu.
64 minYELLOW CARD Nathan Sinkala is shown the yellow card for his rather rash challenge on Emmanuel Emenike.
66 minSUBSTITUTION Double change for Zambia. Mukuka Mulenga comes on for Chisamba Lungu and Collins Mbesuma replaces Christopher Katongo.
68 minCurrent stats show that Nigeria have 56% of the ball. The Nigerians are actually showing more creativity and invention n the second half than they did in the first.
69 minYELLOW CARD Ahmed Musa goes into the referee's books for his aerial challenge on Stopilla Sunzu. It was not a yellow card offence, though - well, at least I don't think it was!
70 minTwenty minutes of normal time remain in this game. It is still Zambia 0-1 Nigeria.
71 minOh, a half-chance for Zambia out of nothing as Chansa goes for goal but it is a speculative effort and does not trouble Enyeama at all.
72 minCHANCE! Rainford Kalaba is set through on goal but his attempt from inside the area is hit straight at Vincent Enyeama. That was a glorious chance for Zambia to restore parity.
72 minSUBSTITUTION Zambia make their third and final substitution of the afternoon, as Jonas Sakuwaha replaces Isaac Chansa.
73 minYELLOW CARD Emmanuel Mbola is shown the yellow card by the referee.
76 minAnother half-chance for Zambia, as Elderson Echiejile clears away a deep free kick that was headed across the Nigeria goal at the back post.
76 minSUBSTITUTION Now Nigeria make a change. Nwankwo Obiorah replaces Igiebor

However, Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene found the target with five minutes of normal time remaining when he scored a controversial spot kick.

Labor Day weekend events at the Steamboat Pilot & Today events
Labor Day weekend is a time to bid goodbye to the warm days of summer: A last hurrah, in the words of Mainstreet Steamboat Springs Manager Tracy Barnett.
Sunday, at Eighth and Oak streets, the annual Chuck Wagon Chili Challenge will be the event to help transition locals and visitors into Steamboat's fall season. Sponsored by F.M. Light & Sons, the sixth annual hoedown and the fifth annual Chili Challenge are free and open to the public starting at 11 a.m.
Barnett said the event, which began six years ago as a 100th birthday party for retailer F.M. Light, has grown bigger since it moved to a new location and a new weekend last year.
"We decided to move it downtown and to Labor Day," she said. "And it was huge. It made it so much bigger."
Big enough, she said, that organizers ran out of the 1,000 chili tasting kits they had prepared for the crowd. Previous years only sold 600 kits total.
This year, Barnett said tasting kits would be $7 and include 10 tasting tickets instead of unlimited chili.
"We were having people come late in the day and some competitors were all out of chili," she said. "If you get 10 tastings, you're going to get the equivalent of 18 ounces of chili."
Anticipating a large crowd, organizers prepared 1,200 kits this year, which include a bowl, plastic spoon and a people's choice award ballot.
This year, 29 cooks will compete for titles in green, red and firehouse chili categories, and there will be four entries each for cornbread and salsa challenges.
Barnett said George Trujillo's green chili has been a force to be reckoned with almost every year.
"I can't explain it, but it's really, really good," she said. "Mahogany Ridge is also always up there."
There will be live music by the Yampa Valley Boys and 3Wire, as well as a square-dancing exhibition by a dance troupe.
"They get people from the audience dancing with them, and it's been pretty fun," she said.
There's no dress code, but Barnett encourages participants to don their best Western wear.
"It's not every day you get a hoedown," she said. "You've been working hard, and it's time to take a break."

Biophysical activity of two twin organometallic compounds Triphenyltin chloride (TPhT) and Triphenyllead chloride (TPhL) in their interreaction with model membranes, as well as with yeast cells Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was investigated. Four measurement methods were used in the experiments: two physical methods (spin probes method and the electric method); two biological methods (minimal inhibitory concentration /MIC/ and yeast survival test). It has been found that the activity of TPhT in interaction with model membranes and yeast cells is distinctly greater than that of TPhL. The activity manifests itself by considerable increase in the fluidity of the middle part of liposome bilayer, change in the polarization direction of the transmembrane voltage of filters impregnated with lauric acid, and in complete inhibition of growth of yeast cells at the concentration of 5 .

^^ I started off simply walking long distances outside and bought myself some 20 pound bells that you can do a lot with. Eventually I started to jog.
I have a gym at my condo now, so things are a bit different but I lost 50 pounds simply running and doing the 20's.
Not to knock what these guys are doing, but juicing isn't very good. Sure you lose weight, but you also lose a lot of muscle mass when cutting so drastically. The best way to lose weight is to calculate your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). Basically how many calories you body uses daily, and then eat about 300 calories under it. It's very important to lift weights while cutting to maintain your muscle. If you don't, when you lose all that weight you'll be what people call "skinny fat". If you lose weight too quickly you'll have a lot of loose skin and probably hate the way you look even more than before in some cases. That's why slow, steady, consistent weight loss is best. 2-3 pounds max per week if safe, but aim around 2 if you want your body to adapt well and give time for your skin to shrink up so you don't look skinny fat.
If you don't eat much vegetables (it's better) but you should take a multi-vitamin as well. Helps overall.
The only good thing about being your weight, is that you have lots of muscle under the fat from carrying it around. So just google TDEE, calculate what you need and eat under it. You'll lose weight no matter what.

Making sense of roster moves: Revs sign ex-major league outfielder Kielty
His team had just come off a 5-1 loss to the Sugar Land Skeeters. Andy Etchebarren had just watched his team collect five hits, a night after the York Revolution used nine hits to beat the first-place Lancaster Barnstormers, 6-3. Yet, the Revs returned to their inconsistent play again Monday. The last two days sort of sum up what York has been like the last couple weeks. A sweep of the Somerset Patriots, getting swept by the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, then taking two of three from Lancaster. York (8-15) now sits 5 1/2 games back of first-place Lancaster (14-10) in the Atlantic League Freedom Division.
Despite York's hitting woes on Monday night, Etchebarren appeared confident in his ball club. And a lot of that may have to do with the flurry of moves York made on Monday (and the possible moves that could be looming in the near future). Maybe the Revs skipper feels that help is on the way.
York made three moves on Monday, signing ex-major league outfielder Bobby Kielty and relief pitcher Andy Wells while trading away utility infielder Joe Spiers to the Lincoln Saltdogs, of the independent American Association, for a player to be named later.
Though Kielty is 35 and has yet to play this season, he could be an upgrade to the current crop of York Revolution outfielders. (Etchebarren said Monday night that Kielty will be in uniform for Tuesday's home game against Sugar Land but will not play).
Kielty has played in 599 career major league games for Minnesota, Toronto, Oakland and Boston between 2001 and 2007. In the majors, Kielty has accumulated 53 home runs and 253 RBIs, with a .254 average. His last at-bat in the majors was a homer in Game 4 of the 2007 World Series that gave Boston a 4-1 lead. The Red Sox ended up winning the deciding Game 4 by a final score of 4-3.
Primarily a corner outfielder during his career, Kielty does have major and minor league starts in center field and at first base as well. What that means for the current crop of Revolution outfielders remains to be seen. But it's clear York has made the move to upgrade its offense, which sits last in the Atlantic League in several categories.
Kielty gives York five outfielders, joining centerfielder and lead-off man Scott Grimes, corner outfielders Michael Hernandez and James Shanks and outfielder Stephen Douglas.
Douglas and Grimes have given York little to no production at the top of the lineup thus far. Grimes returned to action over the weekend after missing nine games because of bone chips in his right wrist that were caused when he was hit by a pitch in a game against Long Island on May 8. Grimes is batting .222 (4-for-18 through Monday) since his return. And he was seen during Monday's game shaking his wrist. So, who knows how healthy he is? For the year, Grimes is batting just .161.During Grimes's absence, Douglas served as York's lead-off man, but hit just .129 (4-for-31). For the season, he's batting .207.
Michael Hernandez has been one of York's best hitters. Despite his .261 average, Hernandez's seven home runs is tied for first in the Atlantic League and his 19 RBIs is third among all players.
With all the moves made Monday, York now has 25 players on the active roster (12 position players and 13 pitchers). Atlantic League clubs can carry as many as 27 players until the end of the month, at which point rosters have to be paired down to 25. So, York could very well keep its current group of active players. Still, it's likely we'll see an outfielder be moved (either off the active roster or away from the team) at some point in the near future considering York doesn't need five outfielders.
WELLS: Wells, 24, is mainly being brought on board to give York some pitching depth over the next couple weeks. York will play seven games this week and eight next week (there's a double-header scheduled at Long Island on June 2) And with reliever Ricardo Gomez and Shaun Garceau still recovering from injuries and reliever Ian Thomas recently being picked up by the Atlanta Braves, the Revs are in need of some bodies in the 'pen. Wells had a 6.88 ERA in five collegiate seasons split between Siena College and Wagner College. He's split time between four independent ball clubs in his first two pro seasons, accumulating an 8.68 ERA.
Hill scratched from start: There's only been a handful of times where York Revolution starting pitchers have gone past the fifth inning in a game so far this season. And the best pitcher, by far, has been left-hander Ryan Feierabend (2-1, 2.67 ERA). It's likely just a matter of time before a big league club comes calling for Feierabend's services, which won't help York one bit.
Then on Monday, Etchebarren said right-hander Shawn Hill is being scratched from his Tuesday start because of soreness in the left part of his back. The right-hander went four scoreless innings against Southern Maryland on May 17 in his first start for York. But there should be reason to be concerned about Hill, who has undergone a number of surgeries and missed plenty of playing time since 2004. Etchebarren hopes Hill will miss just one start.
Left-hander Yunior Novoa will start in place of Hill on Tuesday against Sugar Land. That doesn't help York's bullpen, which combined to toss 5.2 innings on Monday night. Novoa has started three times for York this year, but only made it past the fifth inning once. The 'pen will likely be called upon again to do some heavy lifting on Tuesday unless Novoa has several short-inning outings.
So, while the Revs are busy figuring out how to improve the offense, they might soon be turning their attention to the pitching given the number of innings the relievers have thrown to this point and the possibility of Feierabend being picked up in the near future. The good news is that, if a move needs to be made, Etchebarren and his counterparts have already proven they're not fine with just sitting still.

Stone Street Tavern
Brokers' fresh-pressed shirts and shiny leather shoes rule at this downtown alehouse, located on a quaint cobblestone block in the Financial District. After the markets close, the weathered wood floors get further scuffed by martini sippers and Coors Light chuggers, whose boisterous gabbing competes with a circa-1996 soundtrack (hello, Cranberries!). Later on, the bar evolves into a serene spot to grab a pint or lofty pub eats like Parmesan-crusted fries and a beer-battered grouper sandwich with tartar sauce.
Venue says: "Revolving craft beer list, unique cocktails, seasonal food and outdoor seating."

Can Private Buses Replace Public Transit?
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) When I interviewed New York City Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith last week about public versus private transit, he had pretty clearly-thought out views on the matter:
"I think what you want to do right is more transportation and if there's more transportation there's more of a role for both TWU [Transport Workers Union] workers to be fully employed, not laid off as we're facing, and more private transportation as well, and I think one way to think about this is that there are a lot of people living in this area needing to go to a lot of places and we ought to take the most substantial, densest routes and they ought to be run by the government-run transit systems and then the smaller areas need to be serviced by vans or cabs or whatever. So I don't view it as this or that, I view it as how to increase the whole of transit in the community.
But as WNYC's Matthew Schuerman reports, the economics can get tricky. When entrepreneur Steve Lowry - know as "Mr. S "-- who runs buses to the Poconos, took over an old MTA route, passengers were grateful. But it turns out Mr. S's buses are a bit shabbier, and have drawn a bit more regulatory scrutiny, than customers would have expected with their old X29 bus from Coney Island to Manhattan. WNYC's Matthew Schuerman has the full story.

Meeting eyes with a silverback mountain gorilla across a misty jungle, after an arduous hike through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, leaves everlasting impressions of arguably the best wildlife safari in the world.
The Embassy hosted 14 students and staff from the U.S. Army War College based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In her remarks to the visiting team, H.E. Amb. Oliver Wonekha said Uganda and the United States have for a long time worked together on a range of issues including regional defense and security, as well as economic prosperity. She said the partnership between the two countries has been helpful in ridding the region of the threat of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebel group and countering terrorism by the Somalia-based al-Shabaab.
The Northern Corridor is the busiest and most important\r\ntransport route in East and Central Africa, providing a gateway through Kenya\r\nto the landlocked economies of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern DR Congo.
Hon. Dr. Enrique\r\nSegura received his appointment as Honorary Consul of Uganda to Argentina. The signing\r\nceremony took place on April 20, 2015 at Uganda Embassy in Washington.

Most elements of the LG L7 2 haven't got away without a bit of compromised attached, here and there. However, its battery life is genuinely pretty good.
The LG L7 2 has a 2,460mAh battery, which is a lot larger than the HTC Desire 500's 1800mAh battery or the 1,750mAh of the Sony Xperia M. If you were wondering why this second-generation LG L7 is chunkier than the first-gen model, this is why.
It shows in day-to-day performance, too. Where other phones in this class struggle to last a day and a half, the LG L7 2 does so comfortably. Is it a world-altering change? No, but it helps us to feel much better about some of the phone's other usability issues.
The LG G2 7 is a phone that likes to focus on slightly weird extras – the customisable button and the light-up Home button come to mind. It's no surprise, then, that the sound and call quality are both unremarkable.
Its internal speaker is a basic mono driver that fires out of a small two-slit grille on the back. It's pretty thin-sounding, and not particularly loud. It'll do for listening to a tune while you're making a brew, but little else.
Call quality is also bog-standard. The sound is slightly closed-in – small-sounding – although the actual clarity of the signal is decent enough. We experienced no issues with call-drop outs, and signal strength actually seemed fairly strong during our testing.
The LG L7 2 has very complete connectivity for a mid-range phone. It doesn't have 4G, but it does have NFC, which is still left out of some phones.
NFC was touted as an important tech for the high street – it can be used for wireless payments. However, now that it has been left out of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, it's more likely to be useful for easy connection to things like speaker docks and headphones (many new audio gadgets are starting to adopt NFC).
Other supported standards include Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot creation, alongside the ever-present standards of 3G, GPS and Bluetooth.
The LG L7 2 is a phone with slightly odd priorities. It has a fancy multi-coloured LED indicator and a dedicated button that can do… pretty much whatever you want, but it doesn't have some more simple things like an Auto Brightness setting.
Performance is a little sluggish at times too, meaning that the phone can feel a mite expensive against some of the competition. Aside from the benefits of Android, it doesn't feel like you get that much over a Nokia Lumia 520/620, and the HTC One SV and Sony Xperia M are more powerful phones available at a similar price.
It's not a bad phone, but it's not one you should rush out and buy without some research first.
The LG L7 2 is a solid mid-range Android phone, but it's not hugely powerful and it seems to prioritise features that will grab attention in phone shops over some more basic elements.

Cool smartphone! I really love its design especially its bezels. I'm just hoping that L Series would also be innovated by LG. L Series would be a great help for those people who wants to have a cool phone for an affordable price. :)
I love the design,I think the quality of this product is high and I noticed the screen,they said it is scratch-resistant. A lot of smartphones in the market today LG handsets got my attention most. Good Job LG ! Keep it up! :))
Since I got no means yet to instantly have the LG G2, might as well have this one first. :)))
I've had mine for nearly two years and time to move on. It lags badly and I have had to set it back to factory settings in a hope to cut out the lagging. It is now dropping without reason. I was hoping for another years use, but won't get it. Terrible viewing the screen outside.

Will be sharing today's articles in separate posts shortly.
That being said, if I never, ever hear the word "gentrification" again it would be too soon.
My standing policy is not to give interviews about the "g-word." At one point I was getting about 3 - 5 requests a week to talk about "the gentrification of Ward 8" and from my perspective they are all the same story. A story I think is more based in sensationalism than fact. So if you are a reporter/grad student/community advocate who wants my thoughts on the "gentrification of Ward 8" don't waste your breath. My answer is "no."
Now if someone wants to talk about the oversaturation of social services in Ward 8 and how I have to get in my car and drive over a bridge for basic services and retail I can talk about that all day.
