Gold prices may climb to $2000 levels in the first half of 2012 and in the long lasting bull market, the yellow metal is expected to ride higher to $3000, $4000, $5000 in due course, according to Jeff Nichols, renowned precious metals economist and Managing Director of American Precious Metals Advisors.
He told the China Gold and Precious Metals Summit that the present fall in gold prices to below $1600 levels from a high of $1923 in September need not be considered an aberration. Historically, fall of 20% is not unusual. Ad the time of Lehman bankruptcy in 2008, gold prices had fallen more than 20%.
There are eleven bullish factors that could push gold back above $1900 to $2000 levels in 2012, according to Jeff Nichols. This includes: the US Fed policy of negative interest rates, US debt, depreciating US dollar, Eurozone debt crisis, global inflation, political instability in Middle East and Africa-disruption of commodity supplies such as metals and oil products, affluence of emerging economies and their tendency to invest more in gold, silver, central bank buying, new investment vehicles such as exchange traded funds (ETFs) and Gold mine production failing to keep up with demand....more

Happy Fall!
I can't believe it's already time to start layering up! I'm super excited for Fall to be here because it's my absolute favorite season! Hiking during the Fall in Virginia is just breathtaking and I look forward to it every year! This past weekend I went home from college and unpacked all my flannels, boots, cardigans, scarves, and fall dresses from my basement to bring back with me to school! Flannels are my go to for when I don't have time to think about what I'm going to wear that day.
I love flannels because they are easy to wear, come in a variety of colors, and are so comfortable!
I enjoy a relaxed outfit as much as I adore a dressy one.
What's your favorite Fall attire?

Where I stayed
Tropical Plams RV Resort
They thought it was real neat that they could sit at the table and play a game while we were moving. We arrived at Tropical Palms RV resort in Kissimmee, Fl. at about 1:00 pm. We showed the Grandson's what needed to be done in order to setup the motor home for camping.
Hunter could not wait to fish but soon found that the pond had a friendly alligator that like to follow him when ever he changed places on the dock. But that did not discourages him he continue to fish but he ask grandpa and grandma to watch the alligator and let him know when he was on the move.
Ryan and Grandma played some ping pong and then Grandma gave her paddle to a girl that was watching Ryan and they played. Ryan said the girl won. After dinner we all went to the pool and the boy swam for awhile. Later Grandpa and the boys played some ping pong. We then had a campfire and made S'mores. I think the boys really like that.
On Monday we rode our bikes to Old Town, as that is the only transportation we had at the campground. The boys had never been and we got them a wrist band so they could ride the rides as often as they wanted. Come to find out there is a place next to Old Town called Fun Spot that has much better rides then Old Town and the wrist band was not good for them. The boys were a bit disappointed. They did ride the GoKarts and Bumper Cars. Ryan and Grandma went into the haunted house. Later that evening we rode out bikes again and went to Denny's for dinner. We all had a good time.
Tuesday was a bit of a wipeout as it rain off and on all day. When it was not raining we were out walking or riding our bikes and the boy went fishing again today. After dinner Ryan went out to play a game of manhunt with some of the boys. Hunter when back to do some fishing and started talking to another guy there that let Hunter use some of his hotdog for bait. Hunter caught at least 5 fish and the guy even taught him how to take out the hook.
Hope to have a campfire again tonight if the rain holds off as this will be our last night at camp.

I posted here thinking this is a manipulation that the commercial side would be more familiar with.
I'm in Florida.
My thought was to bust Double deep hives into 6 to 8, 5 frame Nucs on day 7-8 after grafting.
Not sure if I should move Nucs to different yard? I do walk away splits in same yard often and it works out well, mostly
After Nucs have sat queen less for 24 hours add Queen cels that are 8 to 9 days old (from grafting day).
I'll place the cel on the edge of brood.
What do you think of my plan?
Any tips or recommendations?
Thanks for you help

Coconut oil is both a healthy and great-tasting addition to smothies, shakes, and other treats. I add a spoonful to my pomegranate, soy protein, and flax seed oil shakes. The coconut flavor cuts the sharpness of the pomegranate a bit and adds some creaminess to the mix. Totally recommended.

BBC Review
Too much here is unchallenging and stuck in the late 90s.
Chris Jones 2009
Zero 7's fourth album, despite containing a fair smattering of Ovaltine for the ears, marks a distinct change. Yeah Ghost is a schizophrenic offering that draws heavily on pop and rhythm, stuffed with all the right shapes but crucially lacking the vision that held Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker's post-clubbing world together back in the day.
As a mission statement, second track Mr Mcgee is pretty startling: it comes across more like a Basement Jaxx stomper, with vocalist Eska Mtungwazi contributing to its infectious call-and-response structure. But then it's on to the drifting, lilting Swing, with multi-tracked harmonies that wouldn't seem out of place on an early Air track. Having two disparate styles roughly placed together, though, signals a crisis of identity rather than a master plan.
The duo's sound engineer roots come through on their sonically adventurous moments. There's plenty here to get smokers frowning, such as instrumental tidbits Count Me Out and Solastalgia, where subdued electronica tastefully entices. The aural trickery of Ghost sYMbOl, meanwhile, will have you staring round the room wondering if that's your mobile going off; but its pitch-shifted vocals are a direct lift from the less-comforting work of superior Swedish pair The Knife.
Pop Art Blue wins the vocal prize with Martha Tilston's folky whisper, though you can't help yearning for the lost voice of longtime collaborator Sia Furler. This is especially the case when Binns takes to the microphone for the first time on Zinedine Zidane homage, Everything Up (Zizou). It takes style to deliver lines like: "Murakami would have told you so / If you catch him will you let me know? / Bobbing apples in the studio / Aikido, Aikido-si-do." Oh dear…
The evident stylistic disparity is disappointing because variety is obviously well within the boys' grasp. Sleeper is a genuinely unsettling and vibrant slice of M.I.A.-like electro insanity, while the closing All Of Us takes its own sweet time to build from tribal bump to blissful comedown anthem, and is all the better for it.
But too much here is either unchallenging and stuck in the late 90s, or too jarring to allow the album to flow. Maybe Zero 7's time has truly passed.

Vincent D'Onofrio has signed on to play the brother of Robert Downey Jr's character in The Judge, the Warner Bros dramedy that also stars Robert Duvall. Bill Dubuque was pegged to pen a new draft of the Nick Schenk script, about a big-city lawyer (Downey) who returns to his childhood home where his estranged father (Duvall), the town's judge, is suspected of murder. He sets out to discover the truth and along the way reconnects with the family he walked away from years before. David Dobkin is directing, and Downey and Susan Downey are producing with Dobkin. D'Onofrio just completed the off-Broadway show Clive opposite Ethan Hawke and Zoe Kazan. On the big screen, he just wrapped the action comedy Pawn Shop Chronicles and next appears in the indie Broken Horses with Anton Yelchin and Thomas Jane. D'Onofrio is repped by UTA and the Collective.

This is great news for me, as I am a dedicated Vincent D'Onofrio fan.
This is amazing casting! Cant wait for this movie.
Huge fan of him on CI and this movie sounds tremendous
We want VDO back on a TV series
I absolutely love Vincent! Well, maybe I love Bobby Goren, but Vincent's cool, too ;)
Watched 'Kill the Irishman' again last night, BRAVO VINCE!…looking forward to this new movie. You are my hero. (Love Bobbie too!!)
I had never viewed Law and Order Criminal Intent until I got the hopper from dish. I love the episodes with Vincent, was sad when he no longer was playing the detective Robert Goren. Needed to see him act more. Saw him in Full Metal Jacket way back never knowing who played the part and he was very convincing. I think he is a very good actor. Like to see more of him on TV or Big Screen.
I am a die heart fan of Vincent D'Onofrio. I was so upset he is no longer with Law & Order CI., He is excellent actor and played Robert Goren so well … I watch anything with him in the show. He needs to be back on TV as a regular. Hope to see him soon …

Instagram alcoholic slushie service investigated
A "booze slushie" ordered and delivered via Instagram which has taken New York by storm is under investigation by the State Liquor Authority.
Phrosties, an alcoholic iced drink, have become an "under-the-radar hit" in New York City, according to the NY Daily Post, despite the drink's ingredients remaining a mystery.
To order a bottle of the frozen hooch, which costs $10 a bottle, customers send a text to a phone number on the company's Instagram page giving their own Instagram handle and address, then wait for delivery.
However the State Liquor Authority (SLA) has warned that the drinks could be "potentially dangerous", as they are not regulated.
Bill Crowley, the SLA's director of public affairs, told The Post: "The SLA is looking into the illegal sale of this unregistered and potentially dangerous alcoholic drink by an unlicensed business.
"It's hard for the SLA to regulate the shady business, because it's unregistered."
Adam Platt, New York magazine food critic, is reported as having said: "After the first sip, you're loving the sugar. After the third sip, you're thinking how pretty the colors look and why can't you feel your lips? After chugging the whole thing, who cares? You're lying blotto on the sidewalk and all is bliss.
"This is just pure sugar and grain alcohol. It tastes like Kool-Aid-meets-Red Bull, mixed with 150-proof Everclear."
The company's Instagram page advertises the drinks in flavours including Irish Bomb, Volcanic Paradise and Tsunami Sunrise.

Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" sound bite from last night's debate spawned its own Twitter account, Facebook page -- with more than 271,000 likes, and counting -- a Tumblr and countless other online memes.
Here's the commend that led to it all: 'I went to a number of women's groups and ... they brought us whole binders full of women,' former Gov. Romney said at last night's debate about his search to find more women candidates to work in his Massachusetts cabinet.
For starters, the statement was misleading. Romney did not direct women's groups to bring him female candidates, Boston Phoenix reporter David Bernstein points out:
What actually happened was that in 2002 -- prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration -- a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.
That, and the number of women working in Romney's cabinet, actually declined by 27 percent. The Huff Post reports:
While 42 percent of Romney's appointments during his first two and a half years as governor were women, the number of women in high-level appointed positions actually declined to 27.6 percent during his full tenure as governor, according to a 2007 MassGAP study.
In the end, whether it's a Romney campaign or any corporate office 'binders full of women' do end up creating jobs. Amanda Hess at Slate.com says she hopes the meme ends soon because 'binders full of women create cabinets full of women:'
Romney's lieutenant governor and chief of staff were both women. That puts Romney's record on hiring women well above the national average. Binders full of women mean cabinets full of women.
Romney ended up dodging the question about equal pay for women. Akiba Solomon, Colorlines.com's 'Gender Matters' blogger, says he ended up advocating for cheaper labor instead.
By emphasizing the recruitment of women, straight-up ignoring the issue of equal pay, and classifying a standard end of the workday as a perk, Romney is actually advocating for cheaper labor along gender lines!

Mary-Kate Olsen shocked onlookers, club goers and her friends with her behaviour at a Teddy's nightclub in New York Saturday night.
The actress visited the nightclub with her friends Saturday night where she proceeded to get hammered which is extremely unusual. While drinking, she was spotted kissing several different men while stumbling everywhere and mumbling incoherently something about "New York Minute," and Uncle Jesse.
An onlooker told gossip website X17Online: "Mary-Kate Olsen was wearing a see-through green dress. She was completely wasted, she was humping and grinding against a column with another girl. Then she was flailing all over the dance floor. "
On her second pass through all the men of the club, and allegedly some women, all the guys began taking pictures of Mary Kate as she made out with everyone and just was the floozy we have always wanted her to be. She then fell over onto a table and proceeded to break every glass on the table before toppling over onto everyone sitting behind her. No one was hurt, but Mary-Kate was given a bill for the damage and the bill for many drinks she kept buying for all the guys she was kissing.

Sally's Recipe of the Week: Pineapple Roasted Red Pepper Salsa
Pineapple Roasted Red Pepper Salsa
Here is what you will need: Only 5 ingredients!!
1/2 pineapple ( I just buy the pre-cored and peeled)
1 Red bell pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
handful of cilantro
salt to taste
First thing you want to do is turn the oven on broil and get you peppers
skins blistered. The jalapeno will cook faster. You don't want to get it as
blistered as the red bell pepper. You will need to turn them frequently.
While the peppers are charring, chop up your pineapple. Put pineapple
in a large glass bowl. Don't forget to check on the peppers and turn them.
Take the pepper out of the oven, let it cool then take the seeds and stem out and chop it up. If you like a hotter salsa, leave the seeds and stems in.
Add jalapeno to pineapple.
Once you red bell pepper is nice and charred, put it in a plastic bag and
seal the bag. Let the pepper steam for 15 to 20 minutes to loosen the skin.
You could also by jarred roasted peppers, but this is easy and cheaper!
While your red pepper is steaming, chop up your cilantro.
Add the cilantro to the bowl.
Peel the skin off the red pepper and take the seeds out.
Flatten out the pepper.
Dice the pepper.
Add the pepper to the bowl.
Mix it well and season with salt.
Place in a serving bowl and enjoy.
I served it with blue corn chips and my Buttermilk Poached Chicken.

It only takes an issue like the volcanic view shafts to remind us that while the historic fiefdoms of old Auckland are officially united into one Super City, this was a forced marriage, consummated in Parliament, not in some cosy feather bed.
And while the old bureaucrats and politicians have to sit and work together, there's no law in the land that can force old rivals to fully trust each other. Particularly when they are under stress, trying to perfect the new unitary plan which will act as Auckland's blueprint for the next 30 years.
The old regional council was the guardian of 63 volcanic cone view shafts or sightlines, which criss-crossed the isthmus, protecting views to and from the unique landscape features which help identify Auckland's place in the world. The idea arose after the uproar over the eruption of multi-storey apartment complex The Pines on the side of Mt Eden. Introduced in 1977, they prevented high-rise development blocking views to the mountains.
In 1996, a review of the shafts began which wasn't completed until September 2005. It proposed 34 additions and 25 removals. Years of appeals and mediation continued and by the time that was completed, the Super City was in existence. The debate now is how to make the revised set of view shafts operative.
In a perfect world, the sensible move would be to incorporate the changes directly into the new unitary plan. However, an overwhelming majority of councillors at a meeting this week indicated their lack of trust in the political and bureaucratic leadership by backing the more roundabout route of incorporating the view shafts into the old, still operative, district plans.
Former ARC parks chairman Sandra Coney led the opposition to fast-tracking. Her concern is that the view shafts will fall foul of the drive to squeeze a million more residents into the city. "There's the equivalent of a moral panic about being able to fit people in. It's catastrophising about the number they have to fit in."
She recalls that during the ARC hearings into the proposed view shafts, the old Auckland City opposed some of them, and that Penny Pirrit, the senior planner now in charge of the unitary plan, was then part of the Auckland City team.
"Penny Pirrit particularly didn't like the new one from the Northwestern Motorway to Mt Albert because it passed over the top of the Mt Albert shopping centre ... and would trump any efforts to increase the heights [of buildings there]."
This week, retired Auckland City senior planner Allan Kirk, who helped set up of the original view shafts, added his misgivings to the debate, arguing that under the old plans, any attempt to build higher than 9m under a view shaft would be a "non-complying" activity and all but impossible to get permission for. However, under the unitary plan, there is provision for "restricted discretionary" approvals for buildings up to 20m under view shafts.
Ms Pirrit defends the unitary plan, highlighting how the new prohibitions for buildings around the base of the cones will be 8m, which is stricter than the existing prohibition.
She says that at the base of the cones, applications to build higher than 8m will be treated as non-complying. It's only further away that the lesser "restricted discretionary" category will apply. She adds that the explanatory information available could be better, and will be upgraded, but says that, on the whole, "restricted discretionary" appeals will be made notifiable.
She is also at pains to point out the high importance accorded the view shafts in the policy statement and rules incorporated within the plan. Rules that will bind commissioners hearing appeals.
Yet on the other hand, you have the response of Ann Hartley, chair of the regional development committee - dubbed "Highrise" Hartley, by her critics - to a column on the issue I wrote last August.
"Our iconic maunga are critical to Auckland's sense of place," she wrote, and concern for them "will be uppermost in our minds when considering how best to reconcile the need to house growing numbers of Aucklanders with the value we place on our historic landscape".
So which is it? Protect the views fullstop. Or slip in a few apartments as some act of reconciliation. Is it any wonder the majority of councillors have doubts.

just use one of you back ups!
I saw a TV show and the guy got knocked over the head and his gun was taken from him and he was ordered to walk toward the door and open it. Other people were around to take out the other person the guy said no. talked to the other person they got jumpy and pulled the trigger. No shot, the guy said rule #1 never keep a round in the chamber in case someone takes it from you Now I know that THIS IS HOLLYWOOD but how much of this is true. Please dont think Im a nut just asking
Frist of all never beleive anything you hear and only about half of what you see. Always keep a round in the chamber and if they get to you your gun it should be empty.

If you are going to have your gun drawn in an emergency situation then there should be a round in the chamber.
Round in the chamber at all times. Otherwise you're just carrying a brick.
Anyone seen the previews for that new movie, "Wanted" with Anaglena Jolie and Morgan Freeman? There is a part where Morgan Freeman tells this kid to curve the bullet. Yes, you read right. So Jolie goes and stands a given distance away and the kid does some wierd rotating motion with his arm and shoots at her face. The bullet does a barrel roll type of thing missing her by an inch, then curving in back into a bullseye that was behind her.
I mean, really...
I hope they have a kids don't try this at home warning. Otherwise someone
who can't tell you where Japan or the Pacific Ocean is will try it.
Oh yea man, it's totally possible. I've only managed to do it twice out of about a hundred tries but it's defiently possible............
Check it:
I am going to try the curving bullet thing. So, who wants to stand in front of my target and sign my little 'waiver?'
Oh, and hitting incoming bullets in mid-air with your bullets is easy too.
Sad part is, I will probably go see it.
I don't know if I'd go pay $10 to see that movie but I might rent it.
Looking for "realistic" gun play in any movie/TV show is pretty much a fool's errand. I think this particular movie is supposed to have some kind of supernatural edge to it. Thus the curving bullets and the crack Jedi timing. Of course it's not realistic, but it sure looks cool, which is what action movies are all about.
I'll probably rent it.
I hope that a whole lot of gang-bangers try to learn that shoot-a-curve technique...by practicing on each other.
Single shot: There's one in the chamber at all times (action may or may not be closed depending on circumstances)
Revolver: The hammer is always on an empty (even ones with a transfer bar -- except the Vaquero where the cylinder will rotate w/the hammer down)
Lever Action/Bolt Action/Pump Action long guns: Magazine is full; chamber is empty (when stored)
Round in the chamber when carried "with purpose")
Semi Auto: Those that will do so have a full magazine w/slide locked back -- touch safety & round is loaded; regardless, full magazine/empty chamber (when stored)
Round in the chamber (when carried -- which, for me, is not often)
Since single shots are only useful as range or hunting guns, this makes obvious sense.Single shot: There's one in the chamber at all times (action may or may not be closed depending on circumstances)Single actions of modern design (read: Ruger) are safe to carry with all chambers loaded. Ditto DA revolvers.Revolver: The hammer is always on an empty (even ones with a transfer bar -- except the Vaquero where the cylinder will rotate w/the hammer down)It's situational, as you point out. A defensive shotgun might be kept in "cruiser ready" with empty chamber. A bolt gun should have a round chambered when stalking game. Lever guns can go either way. In The Art of the Rifle, Jeff Cooper advocates empty-chamber carryywith lever guns, and cycling as the rifle is shouldered for a shot at game. On the other hand, most woods hunters in my native New England carried their '94s and 336s with loaded chambers but hammer down.Lever Action/Bolt Action/Pump Action long guns: Magazine is full; chamber is empty (when stored) Round in the chamber when carried "with purpose"Presumably you mean the "touch slide release"...? Odd way to store a pistol, though. Why not just leave the chamber empty if you don't want to store a fully loaded pistol? If you're not wearing the gun and have to go fetch it anyway, cycling the slide is a simple matter.Semi Auto: Those that will do so have a full magazine w/slide locked back -- touch safety & round is loaded;
Anyway, all my defense guns are always loaded, including the chamber. Doesn't matter if they are on my hip or in the night table.
I did not pay attention to the Discussion Area, which IS "General Semi-Auto"; so, I probably should have restricted my comments to semi-auto firearms... I apologize!
As for the "carrying in police service or defense" I apparently misinterpreted the question. I thought frbjr was asking about the "Hollywood Contention" that you should leave the chamber unloaded because an enemy who gets hold of an unfamiliar gun will be too stupid to take steps (rack the slide, work the lever, et cetera) to ensure it will go bang on the first pull of the trigger. I figured that question was valid for whatever type of firearm (pistol, rifle, shotgun) and action (slide, bolt, lever, revolving, falling block, rolling block, trap-door, or semi-auto) the BG might acquire from you under whatever circumstances ("knocking you over the head," rifling (pardon the pun) your gun storage on the way to your bedroom during a burglary, et cetera) might occur…
Again, my apologies if this construction of the question was too broad.
On the other hand, you did a very nice, very thorough job of analyzing and critiquing my comments.
Please allow me to respond in kind…
What is not always so obvious, particularly to those of us (which, sadly, now includes me) who make our living in urban or suburban areas, is that people who "earn their livelihood on the land" (as I did in my youth) face exigencies that some times differ from the rest of us. Not everything from which one might care to defend oneself walks on two legs and wears a mask…
As a young buck back on the ranch, I started regularly carrying a single-shot .410, while "doing chores" and feeding cattle, the year we had major problems with "dog packs." They destroyed a lot of livestock, mauled a couple of people, and killed a migrant worker's kid. We found enough of her scattered along the river bank to ID, but there were still "pieces missing" when she was buried. Between December and end of calving season that year, the farmers and ranchers between the Canadian border and Tonasket killed at least 135 dogs that were running in packs…
I accounted for two of them with my little "only useful as a range gun" single-shot; the big one as they were charging me; the medium-sized German Shepherd as it turned tail and ran… I was nine…
I probably should have said My revolvers are carried "on an empty." Except for the Vaquero (which now "belongs" to middle son) and an H&R double action I acquired some years ago, all of my revolvers are older firearms. (No doubt, I "shoot away" collector value on a regular basis.) None except the two just mentioned have transfer bars. Even if they did, the holsters in which I carry them use a strap arrangement designed to hold the revolver in place until the hammer is moved.
"Hokey" as this may sound to someone in the modern holster industry; I can assure you it works quite well. It will keep the firearm firmly seated even on a horse bucking and sun-fishing hard enough to make a fellow's hat, boots, vest, pants, and shirt go flying off and hit the ground. (I know this because I was still inside most of the aforementioned clothing when it landed.)
While I like the system because it releases instantly when you lift the hammer on a draw, it leaves a piece of leather between the hammer and the firing pin -- hence the chamber under the hammer on my revolver is empty. The only exception to this is the Vaquero; its cylinder will rotate if you open the loading gate -- potentially moving a live round under the hammer -- it gets a "conventional" strap.
That said, everybody in the house knows that when you pick up a firearm, you check to see it is loaded. In a "hurry up" situation (the coyotes are after the chickens again), you do this by working the action -- there goes that round we left in the chamber skittering across the floor…
I don't like leaving a firing pin, under spring tension, pointed at a primer; I do not trust safeties (Hunter's Ed Rule of Safeties: "A safety is a mechanical device and mechanical devices are subject to failure") to keep that tension from turning into an accidental discharge if sufficient impact should occur.
In my view, these reasons are over-ridden when the gun is being carried for a purpose. For one thing, the firearm is under a single person's control/responsibility… including the responsibility to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction -- round in the chamber or not…
(Part of the reason I personally like the '94 -- even though its action is weaker than the others you mention -- is the disconnect rod that allows you to lower the hammer to half-cock w/no danger of an accidental discharge should your thumb slip.)
Personally, I was thinking of the Ruger Mark II that I sometimes carry on trips where I anticipate having to transfer it from carry to vehicle storage & back (such as McClure-Volkmer type transportation while passing through states my CCW does not cover). With this particular firearm, you can pull the slide back then lock the safety and the slide will stay back until the safety is released.
To my personal knowledge, which is extremely limited in the semi-auto area, this "feature" is rare in semi-autos (as opposed to the slide locking back on the last round and being actuated by the "touch slide release" after a fresh magazine is inserted); but, I take advantage of it…
Twenty-some years ago, while we still lived in Spokane, there was an incident "up in Stevens County" where an attempted traffic-stop went bad. The driver of the car pulled out a gun instead of his license and shot the deputy. The deputy's vest saved him, but by the time he was back in his cruiser and giving pursuit, the car had a big lead. They drove into a housing development and ran out of ground at a cul-de-sac, left their vehicle, and busted down the door of the nearest house. The husband inside immediately went running for his gun -- while being chased by the only BG who was armed. He got to his bedroom, retrieved his semi-automatic firearm… and was still fumbling with the clip when the BG shot him in the head.
I happened to be familiar with the layout inside of that particular house; I was a guest there many times until my boss (fortunately) sold it a few months before this incident. A loaded firearm would have given the homeowner good position -- the BG had to come down a long, straight hallway, with backlighting, to get to him -- everything was in the resident's favor except the unloaded firearm…
The BGs stole the family vehicle & drove to Spokane -- picking up a "tail" of several Cops then, eventually, what seemed like half the SPD along the way. After about 45 minutes of "hot pursuit" and hundreds of rounds expended (from the then new semi-autos carried by the police) there were a couple more dead. The casualties included one of the BGs (fine by me) and an elderly lady killed by the SPD. All this would have stopped back at the home invasion IF the homeowner had kept a loaded firearm.
So, even though I don't live in your part of the country, I still very much appreciate the fact that you stay ready. The lives you someday save may include more people than you know; they might even include me.
Thank you for faithfully shouldering that responsibility.

After a dramatic road win, U.S. to face Panama in soccer-mad Seattle
SEATTLE -- U.S. left back DaMarcus Beasley took one look down at the temporary grass surface at CenturyLink Field here on Sunday and answered my question about the quality. "Umm ... it doesn't look great," he said. And he was right. The grass looks a little like some of the yards I mowed during drought-stricken summers in Kansas as a kid. On the edges, where it overlaps the artificial turf field, the appearance is a bit like a cheap toupee.
But Beasley said he's seen worse. "I think it'll play all right," he explained. "It's obviously not the best or the same as regular grass, but I'd 100 percent rather play on this than on [artificial] turf."
Both the U.S. and Panama will have to play on the same field, of course, when they meet here on Tuesday night in the fifth game of the year-long CONCACAF World Cup qualifying Hexagonal (10 p.m. ET, ESPN, UniMas). The U.S. has a bit more skill on the ball, so the Americans may be affected a little more by the surface, but that's the price you pay for bringing a qualifier to soccer-mad Seattle for the first time. The overwhelmingly pro-U.S. crowd of at least 35,000 will certainly help matters.
So will the absence of Panama's top scoring threat, Blas Pérez, who didn't make the trip due to gastroenteritis. Pérez has been in good form for Panama and FC Dallas, and his likely replacement, Rolando Blackburn, is something of a downgrade.
But the U.S. is missing its own regular starters. Right midfielder Graham Zusi, who has been so effective crossing balls to Jozy Altidore for goals of late, is out on a yellow-card suspension. Meanwhile, central midfielder Jermaine Jones tweeted late Sunday that he will miss Tuesday's game after suffering a concussion in the win against Jamaica on Friday.
Who will replace Zusi and Jones? U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann has options. For Jones, he could go with Geoff Cameron (if he wants more bite) or Sacha Kljestan (if he wants more creativity). Cameron is more like Jones in the way he plays, so if I pull out my crystal ball, it'll be Cameron. As for Zusi's fill-in, the most likely scenario in my mind involves Joe Corona coming in on the right, but Klinsmann could also go with Kljestan or Eddie Johnson or shuffle the deck and move Brad Evans from right back or Fabian Johnson from left midfield. (Those moves would open up possibilities for Michael Parkhurst at right back and Brad Davis at left midfield, respectively.)
Anyway, here's my best guess at the lineups:
United States: Tim Howard; Brad Evans, Omar González, Matt Besler, DaMarcus Beasley; Geoff Cameron, Michael Bradley; Joe Corona, Clint Dempsey, Fabian Johnson; Jozy Altidore.
Panama: Jaime Penedo; Carlos Rodríguez, Román Torres, Felipe Baloy, Luis Henríquez; Marcos Sánchez, Gabriel Gómez, Amílcar Henríquez, Leonel Parris; Rolando Blackburn, Luis Tejada.
What's at stake in Tuesday's game? Well we've talked before about how you have to win your home games in World Cup qualifying, and that's the case once again for the Americans. There's a real sense of optimism around the team right now after Brad Evans' late game-winner in Jamaica, which increased the possibility that the U.S. could take nine points from the three June qualifiers and enter September's games leading the Hex.
Panama, for its part, has a real chance of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in its history, especially with the possibility of four CONCACAF teams making it to Brazil. Coach Julio Dely Valdés is more than just the best-dressed manager in CONCACAF; he also is one of the most impressive tacticians, and his Panama teams are physical and hard to play. (Remember the two Gold Cup games vs. the U.S. in 2011, the first of which was won by Panama?) That hard-nosed attitude is embodied by tough center backs Felipe Baloy and Román Torres.
"I think they match us physically, which is tough for us," said U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard. "We'll try and figure that out. We handled it the last time we played them down in Houston [a 1-0 semifinal win in the '11 Gold Cup]."
A U.S. win at home would start to put some distance between the top teams and the rest in the Hex, which is still tight (with Mexico and Jamaica having played five games to the four played by the rest):
The more revealing standings may be the win-at-home, tie-on-the-road rankings, which reflect the U.S.'s solid road performance so far (and a tough schedule with just one home game until now):
United States +1
Costa Rica -1
Mexico -2
Panama -4
Honduras -4
Jamaica -9
• Seattle coach Sigi Schmid was at the U.S. practice on Sunday after the Sounders won 3-2 against Vancouver here on Saturday night. Two of Schmid's players, Evans and Eddie Johnson, could get the start in front of their home fans on Tuesday, and I asked Schmid if maybe Klinsmann was a bit more open than some U.S. coaches have been to starting MLS players. As many as four (or even five) MLS'ers could be in the lineup on Tuesday.
"I think Bruce [Arena] used MLS players, and Bob [Bradley] did for a while," Schmid said. "There was this thing if you were maybe a reserve player playing on a second-division team in Europe you'd get a shot over a guy starting in MLS. But I think the level of the league having gone up, coaches are a little more inclined to say a starter in MLS is probably a better player than somebody who's playing in the second division in Denmark or Norway. That part's changed a little bit. We have a competitive league [in MLS]."
• On Saturday, I took the U.S. Soccer charter plane with the team for the first time. The federation occasionally makes seats available to the media for a charge that's similar to the one you'd pay flying commercial, and it certainly made life easier for the long journey between Jamaica and Seattle. Counting the short refueling stop in Monterrey, Mexico, it was nine hours from the moment we took off from Kingston until touchdown at Sea-Tac. (Flying commercial and connecting in Miami would have taken a lot longer. Take my word for it.)
The flight itself wasn't overly remarkable. They did serve a lot of food, which I guess makes sense on a plane filled with athletes. We media types sat in the front of the plane with staff, while the players sat in the back, with the coaches in the middle. It's common in European club soccer for media to travel with the team on charters, and while I appreciated the chance to save time, I love my miles so much that I'll probably fly commercial down to Costa Rica in September.
WAHL: At an unknown time in an unfamiliar place, Brad Evans came up big
CREDITOR: Altidore, Zusi pace U.S. in qualifying win over Jamaica

With the right process, you can trust the process.
By Carla Kalogeridis
Who's seen this movie before?
A design team spends several days creating potential covers for a magazine client. They work hard debating the merits of each, and eventually narrow it down to three. Out of six or seven concepts, they will show the client three.
Now among these three, the design team has a favorite. To them, it's a clear winner. But they don't want to show the magazine client just their favorite — even though it's obvious that their favorite is by far the obvious choice. Instead, they present the clear-winner cover, along with two others, to show the magazine client that the design team put a lot of thought and effort into the process.
But… you guessed it (or maybe you've lived it?). The magazine client doesn't pick the clear-winner cover. In fact, the magazine client doesn't even pick the second-choice cover that the design team thought they could probably live with if in some crazy, near-impossible scenario, the client didn't pick the "right" cover.
And now, here the design team is, facing the nightmare that never should have happened: The client chose the third cover, the least-creative option that the design team just threw in there to make the clear-winner cover — well, the clear winner.
What is a house worth? Whatever someone will pay for it. What is a winning design? The one the client selects. (Note, I said the winning design — not the great design.)
Art, design, writing, editing — so many things in our publishing world are subjective. If you've ever judged Association Media & Publishing's EXCEL Awards, you've seen this firsthand. One judge scores a design entry at super-star status, while another judge says the same concept is simply average. How can reasonable, experienced, educated people think so differently about what is good and bad?
Be that as it may — unless your publishing team is run by a dictatorship — then important things like cover concepts should be a group decision all the way until the very end, when perhaps they're not. But at least then, the person that has the final yay or nay understands how each concept came to be.
Whether you're pitching your design idea to a client or the other half of an in-house association publishing team, here are a few ways to get everyone thinking cohesively:
Be inclusive. Too many cooks spoil the pot, as they say, but that doesn't mean to leave everyone out of your creative process just because you — or a handful of people — are the creative ones. Everyone who has a vote (and even a few folks who don't) should be part of the initial brainstorm session. At this point, anything goes. Ideas are flying around like Quidditch contestants. No one has taken ownership of a particular concept yet, and there's no real skin in the game. When decision makers understand where you started, they will have more understanding of where you end up.
Let designers be designers. Anyone who isn't really a designer should step back during this next stage. Let the designers, the artistic crowd, do their thing.
Be analytical. If you're the only one in the room who doesn't like a particular concept, try to figure out why. Ask yourself what specifically it is that you don't like. Is the concept solid but the color doesn't work? Is the concept solid, but the coverlines don't work? Is the concept solid, but you've seen it before? If you have the power to nix an idea that other people like, be capable of explaining why — even if your position on the team means you don't have to. That way, you give the team a chance to address your concern and maybe even save the idea for another round of debate.
Show it around. Sometimes a concept can go from top choice to bottom based on its real-world performance. Take the cover(s) — make sure they have coverlines and are as close to finished as possible — to someone who hasn't been part of the creative process. Don't tell them what the story is about because, after all, your members won't know anything about the story when they get the magazine either. Ask one question: "Would any of these covers make you want to pick up the magazine and read it?" Ask follow-up questions — but not leading ones.
Be a gracious loser. Once everyone has weighed in, hopefully, a clear-winner cover will have emerged. But if it hasn't — and your favorite cover concept isn't the final selection — put a little faith in your colleagues. You may not see what they see, and they obviously, aren't seeing what you see, but that's the nature of creativity.
You aren't every member, and every member isn't you. If the majority of the team likes a concept and you don't — even if you have the decision-making power — it may be time to just trust your team.
And if you're the customer, sometimes you've got to trust the firm you hired. It also helps if you remember why you hired them in the first place. You liked their work, remember? So, let them work.

Belleville cheerleaders take first in two competitions
One of the more athletic events in high school sports is cheerleading, but that doesn't always resonate with fans.
At Belleville, a very talented group of athletes continue to excel for the Buccaneers, and that's the cheerleaders, led by coaches Jen Caputo and Christine Caputo.
A few weeks back, the team finished first at a competition in the medium varsity division at Saddle Brook High School.
Two weeks ago, the girls were back in cheering competition at Paramus Catholic in the medium varsity, and took first once again.
"The girls have been working hard," said Jen Caputo, the head coach. "We're looking forward to our next few competitions. This Saturday (Feb. 22), we are attending the Gotta Cheer Championship in Clifton. On March 2, we will be going to the state cheering championships, for the first time during my tenure as head coach. It should be a great experience for our team and we're all excited."
Caputo feels the 2013-2014 team is one of the best teams she's ever coached at BHS during her seven years as head coach. Caputo was, herself, a standout cheerleader for the Bucs during her days as a student at Belleville.
"Christine Caputo and I have been building this program since we cheered at Belleville," Jen Caputo said. "And we are looking forward to the experience and giving the girls the opportunities we never had."
The cheering season is indeed a long and trying one on the high school level. At Belleville, the girls try out for next season's team in the previous spring. The team then works out all summer, learning the various cheers for football season. After football, there's basketball and wrestling, then the various competitions against other schools which have become quite popular over the past 15 years.
Competitions, especially, require a good deal of gymnastics and athletic routines.
"As I said, the kids work hard," Caputo said. "I hope the fans know the work and effort these girls put in to not just cheer, but compete. They are very good athletes."

The Supreme Court of Queensland has issued a warrant for the seizure of two cattle stations at Hughenden in central Queensland, after an application from receivers PPB representing the
PPB has been given until next month to take control of Casterton Station and Burslem Station, stoking fears that more receiverships in the struggling cattle industry in Queensland and Northern Territory could be on the way.
A warrant notice issued on June 13 obtained by The Australian Financial Review said the respondents David and Alexander Browning were restrained from entering the properties "until seven days after the date of completion of any sale of Burslem Station and Casterton Station".
The warrant follows a prolonged battle between the farmers, who were unavailable for comment, and the bank. The bank's spokesman said: "Taking possession of a property is always a resort when all other avenues have been exhausted."
Numerous cattle stations have gone into receivership in the past 12 months. ANZ had the 480,000-hectare Maryfield and Mountain Valley stations in the Northern Territory placed into receivership last year. National Australia Bank followed suit, placing the 280,000 hectare Killarney Station run by Wallco Pastoral in receivership.
Killarney has since been refinanced, one of the shareholders making a capital injection to take the station back out of receivership.
"Many of these farming companies are heading towards a cliff," Mr Quinn said. "There needs to be significant re-engineering and recapitalisation and it will come in three ways. The first is deleveraging, the second is new partnership equity and the third is better succession planning," he said.
The proportion of restructured debt has increased from around 6 per cent in 2000-01 to around 9 per cent in 2011-12 for farms, according to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences' March agricultural update. Lending to agriculture stood at $66.2 billion as at June 2012.

Aussie women go for gold
Karen Murphy jumps for joy as Australia edge out New Zealand in a nail-biting play-off.
Photo: Rebecca Hallas
Australians Karen Murphy and Lynsey Armitage will play for gold when they take on Scotland in the final of the women's pairs lawn bowls today.
The duo won their place after defeating New Zealand in a tiebreak.
Murphy was the hero of yesterday's game, pulling off an extraordinary drive for the shot to seal the crucial first point in the tiebreak.
They will now take on Scotland's Kay Moran and Joyce Lindores - a team they beat in the preliminary rounds.
Murphy, 31, who has won a silver medal at the past two Commonwealth Games, is desperately hoping she won't pick up a third.
But the news at Darebin wasn't all good for the Australians last night, with the men's doubles eliminated in their semi-final against England.
Barrie Lester and Nathan Rice never quite settled against their opponents and were soundly beaten in straight sets.
They will now meet Malta in the bronze medal match.
The Australians have so far made it through to the medal rounds in all events at the lawn bowls, with the men's triples having previously secured gold and the women's triples silver.

Yves de Vallone: The Making of an Esprit-Fort
€ 159,99
Sofort lieferbar
März 1982
BeschreibungThe writing of the second part of this book presented a peculiar difficulty. On the one hand I had the great advantage of having found the first rough draft of the manuscript La Religion du Chretien, corrected and often recorrected. Authorship could eventually be established beyond shadow of doubt, and in the corrections one could see de Vallone changing his opinions as he wrote. On the other the sheer length of the manuscript - about 140,000 words - plus the num ber of corrections - well over 3,000, many of them lengthy - the enormous number of references in the text to the Classics, to the Scriptures and Apochrypha, to the Fathers, to Philosophers, ancient and contemporary or near contemporary to de Vallone, and to a considerable number of other contem porary authors, all of which would require a footnote (not to speak of other footnotes necessary as comments on the text itself) made the production of a critical edition a financial impossibility. Instead I decided, for the sake of scholars interested in this type of manuscript, to give a full, i. ndeed meticulous perhaps too meticulous - digest of the manuscript with a running commentary, showing the influences working on de Vallone, the intellectual atmosphere in which he lived, indicating the significance of all the major revisions and correc tions in his text and commenting on what one can only describe as his own world-theory and on his use of his authorities and of their influence upon him.

Our History
When a small group of women dedicated to caring for orphaned children opened the Rochester Orphan Asylum in 1837, never could they have imagined that their founding efforts would grow to serve thousands of families and children each year through more than 100 programs throughout New York State and Prince George's County, MD.
Almost two centuries later, Hillside Family of Agencies stands as one of the country's largest non-profit human service organizations, successfully adapting to an ever-changing environment to meet the needs, and help improve the lives of the most vulnerable children, youth, and families through a nationally recognized, integrated system of care that provides comprehensive behavioral, mental, and education services.
It is through our pioneering legacy, a culture built on compassion and driven by research, and the sustainable success of our evidence-based programs that Hillside remains a leader in both the community and our field, developing innovative services and strategic partnerships that are breaking cycles of poverty by healing those in need and changing lives.
What is known today as the Hillside Family of Agencies began in 1837 as the Rochester Female Association for the Relief of Orphans and Destitute Children. The association members—who included the wives of many influential Rochester businessmen and church leaders—were dedicated to caring for the city's orphans.
INFORMATION ABOUT U of R ARCHIVES
If you are looking for information about relatives who lived at Hillside prior to the 1960s, that information is housed by the University of Rochester Library system. Use the link below to connect with the reference librarians at the University of Rochester to help in your search.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In a banner year for non-apology apologies, singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco non-apologized this weekend for renting out an old Louisiana slave plantation to host a songwriting workshop. The event, now canceled, was billed as a "Righteous Retreat" and charged attendees $1,000 to sleep in a tent for four nights and learn about "developing one's singular creativity" while DiFranco and her friends led jam sessions. The "captivating setting" was to be Nottoway Plantation and Resort in White Castle, Louisiana, a 64-room, 53,000-square-foot antebellum mansion and sugar plantation whose website has this to say about the plantation master:
"Considering his slaves to be valuable tools in the operation of his business, John Randolph provided the necessary care to keep them in good health. He understood the importance of hygiene in controlling the spread of illnesses and disease, so he provided a bathhouse where slaves could bathe daily if they wished...Ever the astute businessman, Randolph knew that in order to maintain a willing workforce, it was necessary to provide not only for his slaves' basic needs for housing, food and medicine, but to also offer additional compensation and rewards when their work was especially productive... It is difficult to accurately assess the treatment of Randolph's slaves; however, various records indicate that they were probably well treated for the time."
The website also notes that Randolph's "willing workforce" was comprised of 155 slaves quartered in 42 slave houses in 1860, making Nottoway "one of the largest plantations in the South, at a time when most owners possessed fewer than 20 slaves."
On Saturday, a group of black feminists on Twitter took notice, and the hashtag #AniDiFrancoRetreatIdeas was born:
Next retreat: 5-day DIY artists' workshop at former state prison-turned-luxury hotel. #AniDiFrancoRetreatIdeas

The event's Facebook page filled up with outraged comments, some noting that the building's current owner is a right-wing Australian billionaire who gave hundreds of thousands to help elect a prime minister who considers abortion "the easy way out," homelessness a choice, and doesn't want his daughters vaccinated against cervical cancer.
Yesterday, DiFranco posted an announcement to her label's blog canceling the event, and apologizing largely by way of excusing herself from blame, chiding those who'd gotten upset, and lamenting lost opportunities for "healing the wounds of history:"
"when i agreed to do a retreat...i did not know the exact location it was to be held. when i found out it was to be held at a resort on a former plantation, I thought to myself, "whoa", but i did not imagine or understand that the setting of a plantation would trigger such collective outrage or result in so much high velocity bitterness...i know that pain is stored in places where great social ills have occurred. i believe that people must go to those places with awareness and with compassionate energy and meditate on what has happened and absorb some of the reverberating pain with their attention and their awareness. i believe that compassionate energy is transformative and necessary for healing the wounds of history...if nottoway is simply not an acceptable place for me to go and try to do my work in the eyes of many, then let me just concede before more divisive words are spilled."
I spent many a dorm room night with Ani on full blast on the stereo (at Bryn Mawr, the DiFranco discography was practically a major) and she's nowhere near the likes of Richard Cohen and Paula Deen when it comes to obliviousness over history's injustices. But is it really such a huge step from "whoa" to "no" when a brochure for Nottoway Plantation and Resort lands on your desk?

Eltham Library Kill or cure: medicine in the 19th Century
Yarra Plenty Regional Library
Friday, October 29, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (AEDT)
Event Details
Lady Teviot is the President of the UK Federation of Family History Societies and she will shed light on being sick in the 1800s.
What were you most likely to die from or did you in spite of some of the remedies get better and live to tell the tale? What was it like to be in hospital, how long were you there for, how well did you get treated and what were some of the other patients like? What were the pros and cons of vaccination? How did you qualify as a doctor, nurse or midwife? What was it like having an operation? What was dentistry like? What were some of the strange cures, strange sounding ailments and odd causes of death cited in the 19th century.
Lady Teviot was born in Sussex and educated at Avondale College, Hove. In 1965 Lady Teviot married the Honourable Charles John Kerr, who three years later succeeded his father as Baron Teviot in the House of Lords, his main interests were Transport and Archives. Lord and Lady Teviot have two children Charles and Catherine.
Lady Teviot has been involved with Family History Research for over thirty five years, she also specialises in Probate Research. Lady Teviot has lectured and fulfilled media engagements in Australia (including Good Morning Australia) South Africa, Canada, USA and New Zealand.
Lady Teviot has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Federation of Family History Societies including International Liaison Officer, from 1995 until April 2001, when her term came to an end.
In April 2001, she became the President of the Federation of Family History Societies a position she still holds. Other appointments include a member of the Executive Committee of the Sussex Family History Group and the Council of British Records Association from 1998 - 2000.
