Where I stayed
Sipan Mabul Resort
After a 10 hour (or 4 movie) flight east we arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 9pm, checked into our hotel close to the airport for a good nights rest. After a late check out and some well used internet time we back tracked by taking a 5 hour domestic flight back west to Borneo or more specifically Sabha which is a province of Malayasia. We only arrived in Tawau which is the closest airport to the islands of Mabul and Sipadan at around 10pm so it was straight to our over night hotel. By now we had had enough of flying and lugging bags around and were looking forward to a little island rest and relaxation.
Our pick-up arrive at 6:30 the next morning before we could even have any breakfast, not that we missed much because the breakfast buffet was late in arriving
Pulau Sipadan is world famous for its pristine dive sites around the tiny island. The island basically rises up like a chimney form the ocean floor with drop-offs of hundreds of meters on either side. Strong currents which wash past the island bring the big fish and the coral thrives in this environment. Since 2005 the island was declared a national park and the amount of divers visiting the island are now strongly controlled. The island is currently under the control of the Malaysian military and nature conservation department.
The island of Mabul is not much bigger than Sipadan but unlike Sipadan is inhabited by local fishermen and their families as well as a few diving resorts. The island only takes a few minutes to walk around and the contrast between the poor (financially) local families and the up market lodges is clearly visible.
The Sipadan Mabul Resort or SMART as it is otherwise know was way beyond our expectations
The schedule for the next 6 days besides soaking up the sun and relaxing is to dive twice a day around Sipadan's 13 dive sites and then alternate the days third dive between Mabul and Kapalai a sand island, this of course excludes the optional night dives.
No time was wasted in getting us in the water and our first dive which a usually a checkout dive was just off the Mabul resort at a dive sight called Lobster Wall. Since many of the other guests that would be joining our party had not yet arrived Inge-Marie and I had the dive guide (Ronnie) to ourselves. It was a beautiful sunny day with calm seas and the visibility was 20m plus. The minute our heads were underwater we were blown away by the amount of colourful coral that were teeming with all kinds of fish. We drifted along the gently sloping wall and amongst others had all sorts of nudibranch's, leaf fish, cuttle fish, shrimp and turtles pointed out to us. The second dive which Inge-Marie traded for a little sleep was on the opposite side of the island off the jetty and was good site to see small sea critters. Besides a big school of squid and some turtles we saw loads of nudibranches, frog fish and many other never seen before fish.
If Sipadan was better than this then we were in for a real treat and to truly share this experience I'm going to have to find an underwater camera to rent!!

Bag pheasants, cue Dutchman for Wagner time in Hungary
(Advisory: This story contains profanity in paragraph eight.)
By Michael Roddy
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Only in Hungary would you see two hunters in full field regalia, with peaked hats, stride proudly into the backstage coffee house of the National Opera House one day with a brace of pheasants and find those birds on stage the next.
The gorgeous, preserved birds were attached to the hunter Georg's belt for a rip-roaring production of the original 1841 version of Wagner's sea-faring tale of damnation, love and salvation "The Flying Dutchman".
They were just one example of the attention to detail that made for an exhilarating evening - every bit worth the seven years' wait the Dutchman and his crew are condemned to sail the seven seas before he can come ashore and seek salvation in the love of a woman.
For a mostly sold-out run that had its premiere on January 19 and ends on February 2, the Opera House has brought in two casts.
On opening night Hungarian soprano Gyongyi Lukacs as Senta, German baritone Thomas Gazheli as the Dutchman and Hungarian tenor Attila Fekete as the jilted huntsman Georg made a magnificent threesome, with Austrian conductor Ralf Weikert keeping the musical seas roiling in the pit.
The Flying Dutchman was a midway point in the composing career of Wagner, whose birth bicentenary is being celebrated throughout the world this year.
Already though, it demonstrates a trait of the diminutive composer who was a big womanizer that Hungarian director Janos Szikora thinks is even more characteristic and important for understanding Wagner than his notorious anti-Semitism or the admiration of Adolf Hitler. Continued...

Chinese lessor relies on the world's leading single-aisle A320 Family
Chinese aircraft lessor ICBC Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. took delivery of its first of 92 Airbus aircraft today, an A320, at a ceremony held in Toulouse, France.
ICBC's A320 is equipped with 180 seats in a single class cabin and powered by CFMI engines. The aircraft will be operated by the low cost carrier Thai Air Asia.
The delivery is part of a firm order for 42 A320s signed in June 2011. In August 2012, ICBC placed a second order for an additional 50 A320 Family aircraft, including 30 A320ceo and 20 A320neo. In total ICBC has ordered 92 Airbus single aisle aircraft.

The A320 Family is the aircraft of choice in the world's fastest growing aviation region because of its unbeatable economics and reliability," said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. "Passengers love the widest and most comfortable single aisle cabin."
The first A320 Family aircraft was introduced in China in 1995, and today there are some 715 A320 Family aircraft in service with 15 operators.

Someone close to you has died, and now it is time to go back to college. It can be like moving from one world to another - from the world of close family and friends, who have all been through this loss, to the world of random people who have no idea what you have been through. It might be quite a shock to return to the pace, variety, color, sound and intensity of everyday life after a period of mourning the death of an important relative or friend. This period can last from a few weeks to several months, maybe more, depending on the circumstances of the death, your personal characteristics and your relationship to the deceased person.
Some people feel very tired or fatigued for a while. You might need to sleep more hours or to nap more often than usual. If you are feeling overwhelmed by noise and activity, you might need to arrange for more quiet time than you are accustomed to. Grieving puts a strain on the system, which people feel both mentally and physically as fatigue or general disorientation and lack of motivation. Eat as well as you can. Get some exercise, which might be one of the things you CAN do when intellectual work seems difficult.
People feel a variety of feelings during mourning - tears and the impulse to cry are commonly known, but others also feel increased irritation at times, as well as anger, fear or anxiety. Some people will find themselves having a fit of laughter triggered by some small funny thought or remark. These feelings are normal - but when you find yourself prevented from getting sleep, or from working, or from relaxing because of repeated strong feelings or thoughts, it might help to talk with someone - a counselor or a clergy person or perhaps someone at the Health Center.
Dealing with memories and anniversaries becomes a task for the newly bereaved person. Certain events can trigger memories and sadness: birthdays, holidays, and the anniversary of an illness or of the death itself can be strong reminders of the loss. Sometimes images from a movie, or certain songs or smells or bits of conversation will evoke a cascade of feelings. If you know that this can happen, you can take steps to cope with it. Anticipate holidays and other anniversaries, and plan to be with friends or family if this seems best for you. Others might want to go do something entirely different in order to change the set of associations with a given time. Most important, be kind to yourself as you experience these feelings.
If friends and roommates seem worn out by your need to talk about your loss, don't hesitate to reach out to other resource people. Here in Waterville, the Hospice Volunteers (873-3615) conduct support groups to which students are welcome. The Counseling Services at Colby can connect you with other students who are willing to share their experiences, and can arrange individual and group counseling as needed. Call #4460 for an appointment.

I called him back at 10:30, no answer on his cell. I called his room at his hotel, no answer - I left a message. He didn't call me back all night.
This morning he called at 8:00a per usual and said he just passed out he was so drunk, that his friends had ordered shots and he had too much to drink. Well, lie #1, right? He already started out on a bad foot.
I told him this was NOT the relationship I wanted. I don't mean going out with his friends ONE TIME. I mean this being a habit - when he's in Illinois, going out drinking at bars 2 times a week or so.
I THOUGHT, until last night and today, that he was just going to dinner and having a few drinks with people from work. I didn't understand this was a "guy thing" at bars until today.
He told me I didn't understand - that was the culture he was in, and they made fun of those who didn't. He was not going to be the "outsider" again like he was growing up in school. What is he, back in high school?
No, this is not the relationship I want, where one of us goes to bars regularly. I won't tolerate it, and he won't budge. He said he'd have to quit his job, as if I'm going to be responsible for that. I'd rather leave than be the cause for him quitting his position.
I don't see a compromise, and I'm pretty pissed. How do I even know he's telling me the truth, and he's actually dating a girl in Illinois? I DON'T know that. Even if he's not, I *know* what guys do at bars when they hang out and drink, and told him I wasn't an idiot. I told him they google at girls, and he said that didn't mean he did. Well did he just lie again? I thought he said he was trying to "fit in with the guys"?
He even goes so far as saying he doesn't WANT to go, he HAS to go, and don't I know he'd rather be in his hotel room playing World of Warcraft? No, I don't know that.
He said we haven't had a fight since we got married (October), so "why am I doing this?" but I don't consider this a "fight". I'm not yelling, I'm just incredibly disappointed and have told him this isn't the kind of relationship I want. Isn't that fair? To be honest? It's not like it's the FIRST TIME I've told him this. He's known this all along - that I don't like it when couples in relationships go to bars (w/o each other). All it does is invite trouble. And 2-3 times A WEEK?
Yes, I'm being very cold to him because I don't know what to do, what to say to him, how to act. He thinks I'm "punishing" him, but how? I'm not seeking retribution - if I were, I'd call up my friends and we'd start going out.
He's coming home tonight (Friday), but he's leaving again Monday after work, so I won't see him after Sunday night. Off he goes again to Illinois to drink with the guys, date his new g/f, or do whatever God knows he's doing there that I don't approve.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable. We just got married....doesn't that mean anything anymore?

The Red Sox won their fourth-straight postseason game in Game 1 of the World Series, handing the Rockies just their second loss in the last 23 games. Josh Beckett struck out the first four batters he faced en route to the victory. He's now 4-0 this postseason with a 1.20 ERA and in the process, Beckett lowered his career playoff ERA to 1.73, which is the third best all-time for players with a minimum of 70 playoff innings.
With 13 runs, the Red Sox outscored the entire offensive output for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who scored just 8 runs while getting swept by the Rockies. The 13 runs were the most ever for one team in Game 1 of the World Series, eclipsing the Braves' total of 12 back in 1996 against the Yankees. The Red Sox scored 11 runs in Game 1 back in 2004, which propelled them to a 4-0 sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals for a World Series championship.

"Not sure what the final score was, but we were a little rusty."

When I heard about the protest on Burnaby Mountain, I decided to go up and lend support. During my first several visits there were no police in sight. That changed last Thursday when the RCMP moved in to enforce the injunction handed down by the B.C. Supreme Court. We've seen media photos and video of the physical conflicts that have sometimes developed, but those instances have been rare and it's important to keep them in perspective.
With the federal government decision on the Northern Gateway pipeline looming, this year's World Oceans Day takes on even greater meaning for B.C. Anyone who has lived on our coast knows how important our oceans and our beaches are to our lifestyle, our economy and our identity as British Columbians.

If you have been reading Formula Mom for a while, then you know that my next New Year, New Reads sponsor is one of my favorite sponsors! I have worked with Andi from WorryWoos twice before and I am thrilled that WorryWoos is on board again! You can read about our love for two of the WorryWoo Monsters: Rue and Wince. We recently added a new member to our WorryWoos collection and Nola has been a great addition to the family!
The WorryWoo Monsters, a series by Andi Green, was first seen in a New York City art exhibition in 2001. Originally called The Monsters in My Head, Green wanted to create characters with a story that each embodied an emotion. Using her design and illustration background she built 5 light boxes, 24"X36" in size, each containing a monster with its story Xerox-transferred to the front of the box. From loneliness to confusion, she began tackling complicated feelings and transformed them into quirky, loveable characters. Her message of "embrace your emotions" received such a positive response, she was asked by many if she ever considered turning her single art pieces into storybooks. In 2002 she began to expand her concept, but it wasn't until 2007 that she decided to publish and produce her new collection.
Nola is the Monster of Loneliness and her book, The Lonely Little Monster, explores Nola's big problem — she doesn't have any friends! This is definitely a feeling that everyone can relate to at some point in their lives and The Lonely Little Monster shows how she overcomes being miserable and feeling all alone. The book teaches a great lesson about looking outside of yourself to see the world around you with a bit more clarity.
Nola's story, The Lonely Little Monster, shows us that even the WorryWoos feel alone sometimes!
The story has a good rhyming scheme which makes it engaging for little ones. There is also a limited amount of text on each page which is great for younger readers I am still a huge fan of the illustration style of the WorryWoo books. They look like they were down with watercolors and they are simply beautiful, in my opinion. I also love that we have a Nola plush to hug as we read the book because it makes it even more engaging for W. He loves to chew on Nola's feet and hold her by the tail!
Buy it!
You can purchase all of the WorryWoo monsters and books on the WorryWoos website. The WorryWoos books are available for $14.99 and come in hardcover. The coordinating plush toys are $21.50. You can get the book and plush together as a set for $36.
You can also follow WorryWoos on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube! Get connected to stay updated on all of the new monsters and their stories!
Come back on January 9th and enter for your chance to win over $150 in prizes as part of New Year, New Reads! My prize package includes books for the entire family and a $100 gift certificate from HowardComputers.com to use towards something bigger like maybe an eReader? You will also have a chance to win a grand prize Kindle Fire sponsored by HowardComputers.com as well! Don't miss it! If you're currently considering purchasing a Kindle Fire, Howardcomputers.com is offering a $10 Amazon gift card when you purchase a Kindle Fire.

This cake was a little bit different. I was told that the bridesmaid dresses were red with teal belts. The theme for the wedding was colourful buttons in orange, purple and yellow. I decided to make funky button flowers to adorn my dress cake. It is a margarita cake filled with homemade lemon curd. The customer just picked it up and was thrilled with the result. Such a great feeling when it all comes together in the end!!

text: I'm curious right now if any of you guys plan on traveling down here to Connecticut this July for Connecticon? Its a convention with a mixture of anime and science fiction. There's going to be a lot of fun stuff to do down there this year. Plus, I heard that their costume contest is going to be even greater. The theme for this year's contest is going to be an anime rave costume contest. You guys really gotta check this out. For more info, check out this website: www.connecticon.org (http://www.connecticon.org) I look forward to going there for the first time because I never knew my state did these kind of things. And if there's anyone else planning on forming a ronin warrior group, let me know. I can't wait to go!:crylaugh: :skidude2: :rockon: :japan:

In which I discuss whether the drop-off in anti-Obama invective following his election is a lasting development--or just a temporary lull.
Also: the case against tightening up, however incrementally, on anti-Obama speech.
Even though I'm on Chuck Turner's press-enemies list, I'd like to congratulate the city councilor for goading the Feds into a laughable effort to violate his First Amendment rights. Still more evidence, I think, that Turner's PR campaign is working surprisingly well.
As Universal Hub's Adam Gaffin notes, there's rich irony in the government's contention that Turner shouldn't be able to selectively cite evidence to defend himself.
--"That means, 'Shut up. Don't lie.'"
That would be Wendy Murphy, co-host of WRKO's Finneran's Forum, explaining that the right to remain silent is actually an obligation limiting the right of alleged criminals (like Chuck Turner) to try to sway public opinion in their favor.
Interesting, especially given Murphy's volubility as a pro-prosecution commentator during the Duke lacrosse rape case.

Since the Cowboys ran the ball 355 times last season -- the second-fewest carries in the NFL -- head coach Jason Garrett expectedly said Saturday that the team will run the ball more often in 2013. ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins passed that tidbit along through Twitter.
Garrett also said Saturday that while quarterback Tony Romo won't be on a "pitch count," the coaches will be very aware of how many throws he makes during camp as to not overwork him.
Fantasy Analysis:
Running the ball more would be good for boh DeMarco Murray and Romo since it would make the Cowboys' offense more difficult to defend. But for that to happen, Murray has to stay healthy for once. Plus, no matter the increase in carries, the Cowboys will still only go as far as Romo's arm takes them. No reason to downgrade Dez Bryant and company because of this. Murray is a third-round fantasy pick.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Junior Kristy Ardavanis won the 1-meter diving competition and junior Fi Connell placed second in the 100 backstroke to lead NAU on the second day of the UNLV Winter Invitational. NAU also placed second in the 800 free relay and got a pair of top-four finishes from sophomore Rachel Palmer and stands in third place behind host UNLV and New Mexico State through two days of competition.
Ardavanis scored 295.05 to finish ahead of 18 other competitors on the 1-meter board for her 10th diving win of the year. Freshman Kali Lents placed second with a score of 258.10 while seniors Cassie Anderson and Holly Frost placed sixth and seventh, respectively, as NAU had four of the top-seven finishers. In the 3-meter competition on Saturday, Lents placed third with a career-best score of 274.30 and was followed in the standings by junior Gwen Smithberg, Anderson, and Frost as NAU had four of the top-six scorers.
Connell posted the best NAU swimming finish in taking second in the 100 back in 56.86 seconds in the final individual event of the day. Palmer placed third overall in the 400 IM, finishing in 4 minutes, 33.31 seconds after touching at 4:32.91 in the prelims, while senior Kristin Jones also advanced to the final and place seventh. Palmer came right back in the next event and finished fourth in the 100 fly with a career-best time of 57.44.
In the 200 free, sophomore Emma Lowther, who won the 500 free on Saturday, placed fourth at 1:53.73 while seniors Chalene Dirks-Ryan and Krista Maier finished sixth and ninth, respectively. Sophomore Stirling Smith paced the team with a sixth-place finish in the 100 breast, though sophomore Jordan Burnes won the B Final with a team season-best time of 1:05.28 to place ninth.
In the team events, NAU opened the meet with an eighth place finish from its 'A' team of Connell, Smith, freshman Alexis Juergens, and Dirks-Ryan in the 200 medley relay. The Saturday session concluded with the 800 free relay, the first time NAU competed in the event this season, with the Lumberjack quartet of Maier, Driks-Ryan, Jones, and Lowther taking second in 7:41.43.
NAU competes for the last time in 2011 on Monday when the UNLV Winter Invitational concludes.

Do I need to add another row to the bottom of this baby quilt? Or maybe another row to the side? The quilt is already 30 x 36 without 2" borders on all sides.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Do I need to add another row to the bottom of this baby quilt? Or maybe another row to the side? The quilt is already 30 x 36 without 2" borders on all sides.
Only if you want it bigger. It is adorable and would look wonderful if you just finished it off with the pink border.
My newest Grandson, Caleb Austin, was born May 29th. I am now Grandma to 4 precious babies. I am so blessed!!!!
I would keep it as is if that's about the size you want. A row at the bottom would make it awfully long and skinny. A row on the side would be better to me (if you really wanted to add more blocks) but some people don't like square quilts.
It is precious just the way it is. Are the hearts needle-turn applique or ironed on?
If you make it much bigger you will have to piece the backing. I would leave it. 34x40 is a nice size for baby.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Fabric!
I don't thinbk you need extra rows for a baby quilt. It's beautiful.
I usually make baby quilts 36" x 48".
--- Jean
I'd rather spend money on my quilting hobby than the therapist.... I'm probably $$$ ahead.... and I'm happy!!
Your quilt is so sweet and I think the size is fine. My 2 nieces asked me to make their baby quilts smaller than crib size. They said the smaller size would be just right for covering the baby in the car seat or for wrapping the baby up in and not having to carry around a larger size quilt.
When you sleep under a quilt, you sleep under a blanket of love.
Last one I did was about 38 by 40. just did have enough backing with so I didn't have to piece it. If it were me, I wouldn't want a baby quilt that wasn't almost square. I think of a baby quilt is one you lay the baby on in the middle, bring one corner up and then the two side over top wrap then up in it. You have the top corner to bring down over the head when going outdoors. Could do that very easily if it was rectangular.

Prince Tagoe wonderful assist helps Kelantan FC to smooth victory in Malaysian top-flight
By Akyereko Frimpong Manson
Follow Akyereko on Twitter: @AkyerekOfficial

Tagoe sliced through a defensive pairing at the Selangor back and rolled a pass to Liberian international Forkey Doe who made no mistake in finishing the for the opening goal.
The former TSG Hoffenheim striker joined Kelantan in June, at the start of the second round of the Malaysian season and has been overly impressive upfront scoring 4 goals.

Bronze but selections haunt Thompson
HEAD coach Alan Thompson yesterday said he made one of the hardest decisions of his career when he dropped two of Australia's strongest 200 metre swimmers from the team that snatched bronze behind the record-breaking Americans.
Kenrick Monk and Nic Sprenger, Australia's representatives in the individual event earlier this week, were nowhere to be seen when the team took third in a race where the Michael Phelps-led American team broke the seven-minute mark to set a world record six minutes 58.56 seconds, demolishing the previous mark (7:03.24).
Monk, who failed to progress past the individual heats and Sprenger, who made the semi-finals, did not swim in the relay heats on Tuesday - standard practice for the team's better swimmers - but it was thought they would return for the final.
But Thompson went for Grant Hackett, who was national champion but chose to drop the race from his schedule, Patrick Murphy, Grant Brits and Nick Frost, and revealed that he had made the decision to drop the pair on form after the team's heat swim. Of the first three placegetters at the Australian Olympic trials in March, only Hackett was brought into the team for the final.
"It was a very tough decision and we had to go with the team that we thought would give us the best result," Thompson said. "You saw how close it was. We didn't have a lot of room to play with so we had to make a decision, an extremely tough decision, and we felt the best team today was to bring those two boys into the team."
"[They] understand, I suppose I feel great about winning the bronze but it doesn't make you feel any better about making the hard decision."
When Monk's personal coach Tony Shaw, who also coaches Brits, was asked whether he felt the decision was needed to drop Monk, who struggled in his heat, he replied: "That's a question I'd rather not answer at the moment".
However, he said the result showed it had been the correct decision because the 20-year-old had been "off the boil" and he could tell moments before Monk's performance in the 200 freestyle that he had tightened up and was overawed. Shaw said Monk had accepted the decision.
"I had one foot in the penthouse [with Brits] and the other in the shithouse [with Monk] so it's been a real roller-coaster ride for me," Shaw said.
Meanwhile, Phelps extended his lead as the Olympics' most successful athlete when he collected his 11th gold medal, when an hour after winning the 200 butterfly in world-record time, he swam the second-fastest 200 freestyle in history - behind the world record he set the previous day - leading the US 4x200 relay team to gold.

The Jane Austen Book Club Parent Review
Movie Review
Jane Austen never married and apparently had only brief encounters with love, yet she managed to craft loquacious characters that have plenty to say about the intricate schemes and intriguing plots of romance. Over the years, her chatty subjects have inspired movies like Clueless, Bridget Jones's Diary and Bride and Prejudice, in addition to film versions of her books. Her own life also provided material for theatrical productions such as Jane Austen in Manhattan and Becoming Jane.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
In The Jane Austen Book Club, five females -- all avid Austen fans -- form a book club in order to distract Sylvia (Amy Brenneman), a group member, from the messy details of her impending divorce. Another literary insider named Jocelyn (Maria Bello) also invites a young man to join the group in hopes of helping the separated Sylvia regain her self-confidence around members of the opposite sex. Unfamiliar with Austen's prose but comfortable with ladies, Grigg (Hugh Dancy) eagerly begins digesting a massive, leather-bound compilation of the novels so he can get in on the discussions.
Other attendees include Bernadette (Kathy Baker), a repeat presence in divorce court herself who is on the lookout for husband number seven. She meets a disillusioned young wife and high school teacher named Prudie (Emily Blunt) whose marriage threatens to be undone by an illicit affair she is tempted to have with one of her students. Unable to turn to her pot-smoking mother (Lynn Redgrave) for counsel, Prudie is in desperate need of some sound female advice. Rounding out the group is Sylvia's passionate, spontaneous daughter Allegra (Maggie Grace) who rushes in and out of her lesbian relationships at the first suggestion of trouble.
Using Austen's work as a kind of moral compass in a romantically unsettled world, these groupies assign an almost biblical importance to the books. Meeting regularly during the span of a year, they share their opinions and perspectives while at the same time being forced to face the ups and downs of their own real-life relationships.
Smartly scripted with scenes seemingly drawn from Austen's own fiction, the screenplay gives audiences a healthy dose of life imitating art. However mature themes of adultery, infidelity and improper teacher-student relations, along with Allegra's brief but sensual on-screen activities with her partners, make Jane Austen's Book Club unsuitable for many audience members. Yet despite the distracting detours of adult content, this film, like most of Jane Austen's novels, is determined to give older audiences a glimmer of hope by championing the value of marital bliss.Starring Kathy Baker, Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Amy Brenneman,. Running time: 106 minutes. Theatrical release October 4, 2007. Updated February 13, 2012

Today I was wandering around the NRA show and saw a few AR manufacturers I wasn't terribly familiar with, so I decided to check out their wares.
At "Battle Rifle Company," I was invited to dry fire their triggers.
So I did.
After four distinct and palpable points of creep, the trigger broke at a weight of somewhere upwards of six to seven pounds (by my estimate). I tried another rifle, and it did the exact same thing. Hey, at least they're consistent, right? I told the BRC employee who was showing me the rifle that I didn't think it was very good, and he responded that I was the first person to say so.
Looking at another rifle, I saw that the railed handguard – to which the front sight was attached – was noticeably crooked. I pointed this out, and the rep said "Well, it might have gotten dropped."
I checked out a third rifle, a .308, and saw that it had a midlength position gas block and a carbine length rail, exposing approximately two inches of the gas tube. I asked why, and the employee said it had been put together like that by accident, but once it was together, they liked the way it looked, so they left it that way. Another employee saw me looking at it and asked why I thought it was a problem. I said, "It might get damaged," and he said, "Yes, that could happen," with no followup.
Sensing that I might be skeptical about the quality of their rifles, the first employee told me that they had given a rifle to a former Top Shot contestant, who had fired 4000 rounds through the rifle in a year, and that he had encountered no problems. As a point of reference, here is a small example of my experience with the platform.
He also said that another rifle had accidentally been dropped 50 feet from a helicopter and still managed to function, which was a testament to how tough their rifles were. When I inquired what made their rifles more durable than any other AR, they described how tight the fit was between the receivers and the railed handguards. This is an example of how some AR manufacturers intentionally confuse the attributes of the platform with the attributes of their particular product.
At this point, I had had quite enough, and decided to walk away.
To summarize my trade show observations:
– Their modified triggers were, in my opinion, of lower quality than a standard AR15 trigger
– Their firearms were improperly assembled, both from workmanship and design standpoints
– They have no concept of proper quality control or testing and evaluation procedures
Not confidence inspiring. So I checked them out on the internet…
On their website, they describe their products:
We make the finest, most functional battle worthy tactical rifles and work hard every day to make sure our quality is never compromised. We also bring added value to every rifle we field, from M4 to M16, because we know – you need reliability on a budget. Whether you are patrolling the streets of a big American city, or moving house to house in a busy foreign village, you can count on the reliability, functionality and performance that a BATTLE RIFLE gives you, wherever you might have to end up fighting the good fight.
…yeah, okay.
And how their rifles are put together:
Each Battle Rifle is put together by a Master Armorer with years of experience. Proprietary components are fabricated to tight tolerances so that the fit is cleaner and enhances functionality. Upper and lower Receivers are matched and fitted to maintain tight fit. All of the internal components are buffed, filed, polished or smoothed to make them fit perfectly.
There's also a list of what makes their rifles special. Among things like "Butstock Pad" and "Rail Covers" are gems like "Polished Feed Ramps," "Polished Chamber," and "Resized Gas Port."
Given their inability to get very basic things like railed handguard alignment – and even proper handguard length! – correct, I shudder to think of how poorly done their polishing and resizing might be. Not to mention the fact that resizing gas ports is generally something to avoid without a specific reason, and "polished feed ramps" end up wearing prematurely.
I cannot think of a single reason why anyone should consider purchasing a product from this company.

For some reason my liver doesn't like Coconut oil, even a tbs a day is too much, so I take Milk Thistle with Carrot Essential oil (one or two drops in a smoothie; Warning, Carrot Essential Oil is disguisting!) I take it for a week or two and then hold off for a few days before I take it again. Milk Thistle really works.

I changed to these after using another brand and continued to take them 3 times per day as I had been doing. I developed joint pains and discomfort and realised that the dosage on these was 2 per day. Once I lowered it, the joint pain went away. Clearly they are more potent than the previous brand.

Senate confirms Yellen to chair US Federal Reserve
By Alan Fram, AP Wednesday, January 8, 2014, 12:29 am TWN
WASHINGTON--The U.S. Senate confirmed Janet Yellen on Monday as the first woman to lead the U.S. Federal Reserve, elevating an advocate of fighting unemployment and a backer of the central bank's efforts to spur the economy with low interest rates and massive bond purchases.
Yellen, 67, will replace Ben Bernanke, who is stepping down after serving as chairman for eight years dominated by the Great Recession and the Fed's efforts to combat it.
Senators voted to confirm her by 56-26 margin, with numerous absences caused by airline flight delays forced by arctic temperatures around much of the country. All 45 voting Democrats were joined by 11 Republicans in supporting Yellen, while 26 Republicans voted "no."
Vice chair of the Fed since 2010, Yellen begins her four-year term as leader of the century-old bank on Feb. 1. With the economy rebounding from the depths of the recession but only modestly so far, many economists expect her to focus on how to nurture growth without putting it into overdrive, which could risk fueling inflation.
"The big debate will be when the Fed should tighten and how much, rather than when to step on the gas pedal and how hard," predicted Bill Cheney, chief economist for John Hancock Financial Services, who envisions a growing economy this year.
Under Bernanke, the Fed has driven short-term interest rates down to near zero and flushed money into the economy with huge bond purchases, which it has just started to ease. Yellen, a strong Bernanke ally, has supported those policies and is expected to continue them until concrete signs emerge of sustained improvement of the economy and job market.
In a written statement, U.S. President Barack Obama said Yellen's approval means "the American people will have a fierce champion" who will protect them.
"I am confident that Janet will stand up for American workers, protect consumers, foster the stability of our financial system and help keep our economy growing for years to come," Obama said.
Lobbyists for the banking and financial services sectors issued statements pledging to work with Yellen. Both industries have led a fight to water down restrictions imposed by Obama's 2010 law overhauling how the U.S. financial system is regulated.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Yellen previously headed the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, chaired President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers and has been an economics professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
Yellen, who as an academic has focused on unemployment and its causes, is considered a "dove" who wants the Fed more focused on creating jobs because unemployment is high and inflation is low. "Hawks" on these issues prefer a stronger emphasis on preventing inflation.
In brief debate on her nomination, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, lauded Yellen, who was one of the first to warn in 2007 of a housing bubble that could burst and damage the entire economy.
"She understands how risky financial practices deep inside the largest Wall Street banks can have a terrible and terrifying impact on American families," Brown said.
But Republican Sen. Charles Grassley criticized Yellen for supporting the Fed's "easy money" policies of low interest rates and bond purchases.
"No one can deny that the risks are real and could be devastating" if those policies continue for too long, Grassley said.
Yellen's Republican critics have said the Fed has inflated stock and real estate prices by pumping money into the markets, creating investment bubbles that could burst and wound the economy anew.
Some also warn that as the Fed starts to trim its bond holdings, it could spook financial markets, threatening the economy's recovery by causing stock prices to drop and interest rates to rise.

The kids actually hit a wild arse 3 pointer and a free throw to tie it in regulation before falling by two scores in OT.
You always hear its coaching
None of the kids has fundamentals
Mind you, my nephews team
my nephews team can barely bring the ball up the court via dribbling being defended by their imaginary friends or by air for that matter.
They harass the inbounds and take it away and after they lose it out of bounds on their end, they line up to full court press my nephews team again.
Was I wrong to loud cap this guy from the stands to shut down the press against 8 year olds? Am I now The Great Uncle Santini?
BTW-He called the press off.
Hornets Board
Eight years old is when they should be learning fundamentals. Practices should be all about dribbling, passing, etc.
The coaches can only do so much. For the most part, there are only about 15-20 practices the entire season for an hour, hour and 15. When you have to get offenses, defenses, in bounds, presses, etc. in, there is only so much time to teach fundamentals to ten different kids. If there is only one coach, that's a lot to focus on.
quote:hilarious. man someone teach these kids how to pass. That's how you beat the press.
Mind you, my nephews team can barely bring the ball up the court via dribbling being defended by their imaginary friends or by air for that matter. It's obvious to everyone in the stands that they can't.

Verified Purchase
Things I liked: All I can say is wow! These pellet guns have changed since I was a kid! I purchased a gamo bull whisper bone collector 3 weeks ago and was having a bad experience with scopes breaking and no consistency in grouping no matter what pellet I tried. Pyramydair had no problem exchanging the gun (and 3 broken scopes) for my new Diana 34p striker combo. I received the gun in 3 days to Florida like they said. After about an hour of this gun in my hands I could tell it was a winner. I'm grouping dime sized at 25 yards with the first pellets I grabbed out of my sample pack from rws. So far the rws super domes 8.3 seem they would be hard to beat with my gun. Craftsmanship is superior to the gamo I had. I'm having no problems with scope creeping and fast to zero in with the droop compensating mount. All around great gun.
Things I would have changed: Only 3 days in but would only change the scope option in the combo and a recoil pad of some kind.
What others should know: If your on the fence with spending this amount on another brand or the Diana 34 p combo don't hesitate, this gun does what they claim in accuracy!!

When Samuel See was found dead in a New Haven jail cell last month, nine hours after being put there after a domestic dispute with his husband, the question was how did he die, a disquieting mystery that remains unsolved.
Faculty members and students at Yale University, where he was an admired assistant professor of English, were shaken and openly mourned the abrupt, inexplicable conclusion to his life. Investigations are now examining the circumstances of his death, to see if he had been ill or injured and determine whether the authorities bore any blame. He was 34.
….Over at least the last year, according to people who knew him, the once outgoing Mr. See had become withdrawn. He told one professor that he was H.I.V. positive; a friend said Mr. See believed he had bipolar disorder; and several people said he seemed depressed. In the last year and a half, according to Frank Anastasio, a neighbor, ambulances took Mr. See from his apartment at least half a dozen times. Another neighbor said an ambulance came for him the day before his arrest. At the time, Mr. See was on an unpaid leave.
…."He said he was having terrible hallucinations and he feared that he might harm his husband inadvertently, because he wouldn't be able to tell fantasy from reality."

Jarvis Hayes, the Pistons' biggest free agent acquisition of the summer, was gracious enough to take a few minutes to sit down over email and answer some questions for Empty the Bench. Mr. Hayes was the 10th overall pick out of Georgia in the 2003 NBA draft and spent his first four NBA seasons with the Washington Wizards. The 6'8″ forward is known as a versatile, athletic and efficient wing who can score from all over the floor and plays strong defense. Although he's suffered a number of unfortunate injuries in his young career, the 25-year-old is now fully recovered and ready to provide Detroit with an excellent backup to Tayshaun Prince in the team's quest for a title. He's looked fantastic in preseason play–even taking minutes at PF due to injuries–and is poised to provide instant offense off the Pistons bench. Mr. Hayes talks with ETB about his charity, The Jarvis Hayes Foundation, the Detroit Pistons' chances against Boston, and reveals his favorite restaurant in Washington DC.
Empty the Bench: You're joining a veteran squad with some clearly defined roles. What do you think you can bring to the table? How do you envision your role in Detroit this season?
Jarvis Hayes: I think I can be a sparkplug coming off of the bench. These guys have great chemistry, and I believe I can be a good bench scorer and put some points on the board.
Empty the Bench: Are you friends with any guys on the squad?
Jarvis Hayes: Basketball is like a fraternity, so I knew some of the guys from college and just from being in the league for a few years.
Empty the Bench: How familiar are you with Flip Saunders and the rest of the coaching staff?
Jarvis Hayes: I personally wasn't too familiar with Coach Saunders prior to coming here. I did know though he has an impeccable record as far as coaching winning ball clubs, so I am very happy to play for him.
Empty the Bench: The Celtics are the talk of the NBA right now, but these guys have never played together before. How important is a team like the Pistons' chemistry and experience together, and how well do you think your new team matches up with Boston?
Jarvis Hayes: The good thing about the Pistons is that we only have a few new pieces to the puzzle. There is a good core group here, which is great. I think we will match up well with Boston and I look forward to playing them.
Empty the Bench: While the Pistons have a number of established players like Chauncey, Rasheed, Rip and Tayshaun, they also have some great young talent in Amir Johnson, Rodney Stuckey, Jason Maxiell, and now you. How important is it to have a mix of leadership and youth?
Jarvis Hayes: It's very important. There are few teams in this league that have young ball clubs that can win consistently. The fact that we have a mix of younger and older guys gives the young guys time to get acclimated. They are not thrown into the fire right off so they have time to grow.
Empty the Bench: You've had some injuries in your NBA career, but it looks like you've fully recovered. Are you familiar with Pistons trainer Arnie Kander, his methods, and what he's done for players like Antonio McDyess and Chris Webber? How much of a difference do you think a team trainer can make in a player's overall health?
Jarvis Hayes: I am very familiar with Arnie and his work with players coming off past injuries. He's great at what he does. He is one of the best at getting players back on the court and ready to go.
Empty the Bench: Staying in the East, you'll be facing off against the Wizards at least four times and possibly in the playoffs. What's it really like playing against friends and former teammates? Are there any particular players you really get psyched to match up with?
Jarvis Hayes: I get excited playing against everyone. I think I'll be a little extra excited playing against the Wizards seeing as how I played with them for the first three years of my career.
Empty the Bench: What are you going to miss the most about DC?
Jarvis Hayes: The fans are what I'll miss most. The people in Washington were great to me and I had some wonderful experiences. It was a nice place to be and the DC area is wonderful. The Nation's Capitol, the monuments… I'll miss everything.
Empty the Bench: You used to be on a radio show where you reviewed restaurants—any favorites?
Jarvis Hayes: District Chophouse on 7th Street near the arena…great!
Empty the Bench: How would you describe the player/referee relationship in today's NBA? A lot of fans see players both being friendly with refs, and also looking like they want to kill them. What's it really like both on and off the court?
Jarvis Hayes: I have a great relationship with the refs. From my experience they are pretty honest and fair individuals.
Empty the Bench: What's your off-season like, and how much time do players really have to totally get away from it all and relax?
Jarvis Hayes: Not much. The typical off-season for me has been to work, but I wouldn't touch a ball until late July/early August. The off-season is really not too long at all.
Empty the Bench: Which other NBA players do you train with?
Jarvis Hayes: This summer I trained with Cuttino Mobley, Earl Watson, Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell… We played pickup games and scrimmaged in LA.
Empty the Bench: You're on a long road trip, and just finished up the first game of a back-to-back set. Describe what a typical night/day is like for you from immediately after the game is over to when the next day's game begins.
Jarvis Hayes: After the game, win or lose, you have to start mentally preparing for the next game. I don't spend too much time talking about that game…it's time to move on. Sometimes we get on the plane to head off to another location and from there get a good night of sleep. The next day, we get up and may have shoot around. Then it's time for another game.
Empty the Bench: What's been the highlight of your career thus far, and what are your personal short- and long-term goals moving forward?
Jarvis Hayes: The highlight of my career is having the opportunity to play in the NBA and being drafted in the first round. My personal short-term goal is to have a healthy year and to win an NBA Championship here in Detroit. My career started off on a bad note with the injuries, but long term, I want to be the player I know I can be.
Empty the Bench: It's still a long ways off, but have you thought about your post-NBA life at all?
Jarvis Hayes: I absolutely have. Post NBA I want to run my foundation and make it productive so I can give back to the community.
Empty the Bench: We know that helping out kids is something you dedicate a lot of time to. Can you talk a little bit about the Jarvis Hayes Foundation and your new fan club?
Jarvis Hayes: The Jarvis Hayes Foundation is designed to create and support programs and initiatives that assist children and those in need in order to create a better world for everyone. The Foundation benefits a number of programs including support and advocacy for the homeless, support for children living with cancer and diabetes and programs to assist children with life skills, mentoring, academics and athletics to develop well-rounded young adults. The signature program for the Jarvis Hayes Foundation is The Georgia Select AAU Basketball Program. The goal is to provide student-athletes with everything they need to succeed on and off of the court. In addition to the great competition and travel, the Basketball Academy will provide important educational information and life skills to all participants.
Empty the Bench would also like to send a big thank you to Nicole Hawkins from Nicole Hawkins Communications for making this happen. Thank you!

Brown Physicists Celebrate Role in Higgs Discovery, Theory, Oct. 9 at 7:00 PM ~ Salomon Center
The Brown University Department of Physics will celebrate the recent discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson at an event to be held Tuesday, October 9 at 7:00 PM in the Salomon Center for Teaching on the university's campus in Providence.
The event will feature an introduction by Brown President Christina Paxson, as well as brief presentations by Brown physicists who played a substantial role in this historic discovery. The event is open to the public.
In July physicists from CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, announced they had found a new particle that is a likely candidate for the long-sought Higgs boson, the physical manifestation of an invisible field thought to give mass to elementary particles. Brown physicists were involved both in the experimental research that detected the particle, and the theoretical research that predicted its existence nearly 50 years ago.
"The announcement that physicists, working collaboratively with teams from many nations, have discovered a new particle that is consistent with the Higgs boson marks both a significant accomplishment in the decades-long elucidation of the Standard Model and a new era of research aimed at better understanding and explaining the fundamental make-up of the physical universe," President Paxson said. "We note and celebrate with great pride the role that Brown faculty have played in this important discovery."
Brown physicists David Cutts, Ulrich Heintz, Greg Landsberg and Meenakshi Narain are active members of the CMS, one of the two large-scale experiments operating at the Large Hadron Collider headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
Gerald Guralnik is a theoretical physicist at Brown who, in 1964, published two papers on what is called spontaneous symmetry breaking and how that idea relates to the mass of elementary particles. His research was part of a series of papers that helped to define the Standard Model of particle physics, and predicted the existence of a particle that would become known as the Higgs boson.
Landsberg, physics coordinator for the CMS experiment, will open the program with historical remarks. Heintz, the leader of a CMS analysis review committee that oversaw one of the Higgs searches, will briefly discuss the discovery process. Narain, who directs one of the groups associated with the Higgs analysis, will describe other aspects of the experiment, and Cutts will comment on the excitement of being on shift in the CMS control room. A question and answer period will follow the presentations.

The future of the Royal Gorge
CANON CITY, Colo. - The Royal Gorge Bridge took 6 months to build in 1929. The Royal Gorge Company that runs the attraction believes it will only take around seven months to rebuild the structures destroyed in the Royal Gorge fire. 48 of the 52 buildings at the park were destroyed.
"The timeframe is very, very fast when you consider from the beginning of thinking what we want to do to completion is less than a year," Harry Hargrave, president of the Royal Gorge Bridge Company said.
Hargrave brought in a design team to present what the future of the park will look like to Canon City officials and residents.
The city council agreed to move forward with the Beck Group's preliminary plans.
Construction is expected to begin in October and finish with the first phase by May 15th. The cost is estimated at around $25 million dollars.
A representative with the Beck Group described the design as "rustic" and that the design will have a "sense of danger" for visitors by drawing them to the edge of the gorge and beyond with terraces and a new zip line that will send riders across the Royal Gorge. Hargrave says he believes the zip line could be the highest in the world.
Eventually the park would like to add a natural ampitheater they belive would be as large as Red Rocks, with a view of the Royal Gorge.
"It'll be a much better park, a much better place for people to enjoy," Hargrave said.

I think I'm on a mission lately to figure out how to make all my favorite crackers from scratch. What I'm discovering is that they are so easy to do and so cheap! Even with coupons I most of the time I could purchase crackers for this cheap unless they were free. For example, these saltines take only 4 ingredients, one cup of flour costs me .12, the water is free, the salt is minimal, and the butter costs pennies. So about .20 for a quart of saltines that are fresh and buttery with no preservatives, sounds like a good deal to me!
What you need:
- 1 c. flour
- 2 T butter
- 6-7 T water
- 1/2 t. salt
- plus a little more salt and butter for the tops
What's next? You could make some yummy Cheese Dip to go along with your crackers or maybe just go ahead and make Homemade Cheese It's instead! We've also got a great recipe for Homemade Wheat Thins too!
- 1 c. flour
- 2 T butter
- 6-7 T water
- 1/2 t. salt
- plus a little more salt and butter for the tops (optional)
- In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
- Add in the melted butter and water.
- Mix well, you may have to use your hands.
- Roll out and cut into cracker shapes.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until crispy.

If you're still baffled, flummoxed, or concerned about Facebook's now-infamous privacy policies, here's a handy chart from The New York Times. (Thanks, Madiha, for the pointer.) While the diagram retains a neutral tone, it's hard to read the phrase 50 settings with over 170 options without having a "What the hell?!?" moment.
In defense of Facebook, they're no worse than many technology companies that devise confusing UIs, full of knobs and dials that users don't understand or use. These companies are still to blame for creating the circumstances in which a confusing UI is hard to avoid, so they're not completely blameless.
An apology to future generations
Here's where we venture into the idiosyncratic sub-culture of the tech industry, which is hard to understand if you've never been part of it. In spite of having big development budgets, a staff of seasoned professionals, and months to build a useful product, tech companies repeatedly build software that begs the question, "Daddy, why is your product so hard to use?" (Even weirder: usability is often inversely proportional to the price.)

50 Cent to Direct Proceeds From Headphone Sales to Providing Meals
50 Cent is not backing down from his mission to feed a billion kids in Africa.
After announcing his Street King initiative in July, in which each of his Street King energy drinks sold will also provide a meal, Fif has confirmed that proceeds from the sales of his headphones will also go towards the program.
At a launch party for his SMS Audio headphones earlier this week, the current XXL cover subject confirmed that, like with his energy drink, a portion of sales from the product would be used for the initiative.
"Because of my Street King initiative, with every purchase there's a meal being provided through the United Nations World Food Programme," he said, according to MTV News. "And with this actual project, I decided I wanted to do something here in America. So for every pair of these headsets that are sold domestically and online through SMSAudio.com, 250 meals will be provided by Feeding America, which is our leading charitable organization against hunger."
The headphones, which are set at a pricepoint of $299.99 for a standard pair and $399.99 for the wireless pair are available through SMSAudio.com.
"I think business is the answer for finding finances for situations that have been unanswered and untouched," the Queens native continued. "If young entrepreneurs follow in my footsteps, with having a charitable business model that actually gives back, then you don't have people standing at Occupy Wall Street, because they're aware that the major corporations are conscious of them."
50 Cent is the latest in a line of rappers to launch a line of headphones. In addition to products from Dr. Dre, Ludacris and others, RZA released his Chambers by RZA earlier this month. —Adam Fleischer

An article was published recently in the journal Nature titled "The future of bladder cancer care in the USA." The authors discuss how despite the large number of people diagnosed with bladder cancer each year and the high costs of treatment and management for this disease, there is a lack of awareness about bladder cancer as a public health concern and lack of funding for research. The article mentions BCAN's efforts in raising awareness among the general public and the Clinical Trials Working Group at BCAN's Bladder Cancer Think Tank meeting.
