What is NGU?
NGU (NonGonococcal Urethritis) is an infection of the urethra caused by pathogens (germs) other than gonorrhea. Several kinds of pathogens can cause NGU, including:
Chlamydia trachomatis
Ureaplasma urealyticum
Trichomonas vaginalis (rare)
Herpes simplex virus (rare)
Haemophilus vaginalis
Mycoplasm genitalium
NGU is most often caused by chlamydia, a common infection in men and women. The diagnosis of NGU is more commonly made in men than women, primarily due to anatomical differences.
How can I get NGU?
Most germs that cause NGU can be passed during sex (vaginal, anal or oral) that involves direct mucous membrane contact with an infected person. These germs can be passed even if the penis or tongue does not go all the way into the vagina, mouth or rectum, and even if body fluids are not exchanged.
These causes of NGU may include:
Urinary tract infections.
An inflamed prostate gland due to bacteria (bacterial prostatitis).
A narrowing or closing of the tube in the penis (urethral stricture).
A tightening of the foreskin so that it cannot be pulled back from the head of the penis (phimosa).
The result of a process such as inserting a tube into the penis (catheterization).
During birth, infants maybe exposed to the germs causing NGU in passage through the birth canal. This may cause the baby to have infections in the:
eyes (conjunctivitis)
lungs (pneumonia)
What are the signs or symptoms of NGU?
Men (urethral infection):
Discharge from the penis
Burning or pain when urinating (peeing)
Itching, irritation, or tenderness
Underwear stain
Women (vaginal/urethral infection):
The germs that cause NGU in men might cause other infections in women.
These might include vaginitis or mucopurulent cervicitis (MPC). Women may also be asymptomatic (have no symptoms). Symptoms of NGU in women can include:
Discharge from the vagina
Burning or pain when urinating (peeing)
Abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding may be an indication that the infection has progressed to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Anal or Oral Infections
Anal infection may result in:
Rectal itching
Discharge or pain on defecation
Oral infection may occur. Most (90 percent) are asymptomatic, but some people might have a sore throat.
How can I find out if I have NGU?
An NGU diagnosis is made when a man has urethritis (inflammation of the urethra), but gonorrhea is ruled out because he has a negative gonorrhea culture and/or gram stain.
Other tests include:
Chlamydia culture
Urinalysis (sometimes, but rarely)
Chlamydia culture
Gonorrhea culture to rule out gonorrhea
What can I do to reduce my risk of getting NGU?
Abstinence from sex is the best form of prevention.
Using latex condoms from start to finish every time you have oral, vaginal or anal sex.
Having sex with only one uninfected partner whom only has sex with you (mutual monogamy).
Water-based spermicides can be used along with latex condoms for additional protection during vaginal intercourse. Use of spermicide is not recommended nor found to be effective for oral or anal intercourse.
Have regular check-ups if you are sexually active.
If you have an STD, don't have sex (oral, vaginal, anal) until all partners have been treated.
Prompt, qualified and appropriate medical intervention, treatment and follow-up are important steps in breaking the disease cycle.
Know your partner(s). Careful consideration and open communication between partners may protect all partners involved from infection.
What is the treatment for NGU?
The main treatments for NGU are:
Doxycycline Alternatives are:
Recommended treatment for recurrent/persistent urethritis:
Metronidazole with Erythromycin
A woman who is pregnant, or thinks she might be, should tell her doctor. This will ensure that a medicine will be used that will not harm the baby.
Take all medications-even if you start to feel better before you finish the bottle.
Treat all partners.
Inform all partners.
Abstain from sex until all partners are treated.
Return for evaluation by a health care provider if symptoms persist or if symptoms recur after taking all the prescribed medicine.
Why worry about NGU?
Left untreated, the germs that cause NGU-especially chlamydia-can lead to: Men:
Epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis, the elongated, cordlike structure along the posterior border of the testes) which can lead to infertility if left untreated.
Reiter's syndrome (arthritis)
Skin lesions
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can result in ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.
Recurrent PID may lead to infertility.
Chronic pelvic pain
Mucopurulent cervicitis (MPC)
Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)
Men or Women:
Infections caused by anal sex might lead to severe proctitis (inflamed rectum).
Exposure to the germs causing NGU during passage through the birth canal may result in infants having:
Conjunctivitis (If left untreated, this may lead to blindness.)
Do I need to talk to my partner about NGU?
Yes. If you have been told that you have NGU, talk to your partner(s), and let them know so they can be tested and treated. The most common cause of NGU is chlamydia, and it is easy to pass from an infected partner to one who is not infected. A man who is diagnosed with NGU should tell his female sex partner and ask her to get tested. He can prevent lasting damage to her body by telling her right away.
All sex partners of someone diagnosed with NGU should be treated because:
They may have an infection and not know it.
It keeps them from passing the infection back to you or to others.
It prevents them from suffering possible complications.
Remember: Do not have sex until your partner(s) have been tested and treated.
Should I talk to my health care provider about NGU?
If you are sexually active with more than one person and do not use latex condoms, then you should talk to your health care provider about being tested for STDs and NGU. Not all STDs cause symptoms, and you may have one and not know it.

'Be a Santa to a Senior' program returns
BEND, Ore. - This season, holiday shoppers in Central Oregon can give cheer to area seniors by participating in the Be a Santa to a Senior program.
The program – run by the local Home Instead Senior Care office in partnership with Bendbroadband/Zolo Media, COCC Criminal Justice Club, Fox Hollow Independent and Assisted Living, KNLR 97.5 Radio, St. Charles Home Health Services, St. Charles Lifeline, area retailers, volunteers and members of the community – helps ensure isolated seniors receive gifts and companionship during the holidays.
This can be a difficult time for many, especially those who live alone or have lost spouses and loved ones.
An estimated 27 percent of people 65 and older (10.8 million people) are widowed, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Further, the Administration on Aging reports about 28 percent (11.8 million) non-institutionalized people 65 and older live alone.
Retailers participating in Be a Santa to a Senior will display Christmas trees from Nov. 25 to Dec. 17 that feature ornaments with seniors' first names and their gift requests. Holiday shoppers can pick an ornament from these trees, buy the items listed and return them unwrapped to the store, with the ornament attached.
Be a Santa to a Senior trees will be located at:
- Bend Senior Center? 1600 SE Reed Market Road in Bend
- Erickson's Thriftway - Madras? 561 SW 4th in St?Madras
- Fred Meyer, Bend 61535 S Highway 97 ?in Bend
- Home Instead Senior Care ?497 SW Century Drive, Ste. 102? in Bend
- La Pine Community Health Center ?51600 Huntington Road? in La Pine
- Partners in Care?2075 NE Wyatt Ct.?in Bend
- Ray's Food Place - Sisters?635 N Arrowleaf Trail? in Sisters
- Redmond Senior Center? 325 NW Dogwood Avenue? in Redmond
- Rite Aid - Prineville? 1575 Northeast 3rd Street? in Prineville
- Soroptimist Senior Center - Prineville ?180 NE Belknap Street in Prineville
The local Home Instead Senior Care office will enlist volunteers from its staff, senior-care business associates, non-profit workers and others to collect, wrap and distribute the gifts to local seniors who might otherwise spend the holiday alone. The wrapping party will be held at St. Charles Medical Center at 2500 NE Neff Road, Bend, OR 97701 on December 18th from 4pm to 7pm in the main education rooms.
"Be a Santa to a Senior gives back to older adults in our area, many of whom have had significant, positive influence on our lives," said Todd Sensenbach, owner at the local Home Instead Senior Care office. "During this season of giving, we encourage shoppers to buy a little extra to say thank you to these community members."

This is a discussion on Is our democracy doomed? within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Originally Posted by WHEC724 You're a politician, aren't you? See second part of my post. Uh, just an old fool. Does that make me a ...
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.
Andrew Jackson
So again I ask. We all have ideas as to what should happen or what should not have happened to get us here. My question now is what do you think is going to happen, given our current unsustainable direction both politically and economically. With the huge influx or retries getting out of the workforce and going on the SS dole it surly won't be long before we find out.
BTW Democracy, Constitutional Republic, etc are just parsing of words. When we gave all the right to vote we moved to a democratic form of government if only in the way we select our leaders. which of course defines direction. The main difference between a true democracy and a republic is that in a republic laws are supposed to be created to protect the minorities as opposed to all rules being created to make the majority happy. With the majority no longer contributing (tax wise) to the finances of government who are the minorities now? With millions retiring soon who will be the minorities in the future. Where will this take our form of government?
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
hence the "tea party". an awakening of the contributing masses, silent majority, conservatives from many diverse back grounds. get involved!
Maybe this true. Alexander Tyler in 1787 said, "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." We've let the career politicians sell too many people on the idea of a gift from our treasury so they can secure their job.
Only 22 democratic governments have existed for over 50 years in the world's history (from Miracle of Freedom by the Stewart brothers) We have 230+ years and I hope it can survive.
You know if you go to a library and look at Time and Newsweek magazines from the 1960s (to pick an arbitrary starting point) on forward, or look at NYTimes newspaper stories and editorials again over several decades of time, you might find that everyone in each era thought there were intractable problems and we were doomed.
We were called, "the sick society," at one point. We were certain we would be destroyed by nuclear calamity. Influx of Japanese investment was going to do us in. It was said they were about to own us.
Guess what, if you sit down with these old magazines and read them, most of the stories are hilarious when looked at from our present vantage point. Many of our worries were utterly fanciful.
We have our problems and always will. Big deal. That's life.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.
Andrew Jackson
We will continue despite ourselves, we will continue to stagger along and adapt, we will survive in the world, and continue in one form or another of our Republic. We are still one of the largest, most successful economies in the world, we are still a magnet for those seeking a life free of discrimination and tyranny and other ills, and we will be so for the foreseeable future. We will change in some minor fashions? Probably yes, but I would argue the changes to be minor in the grand scheme, that is, on a national scale.

"A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon the world" Albert Camus
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY.
However we have allowed this country to turn into a Democracy... and I am sorry Maverick, but a Constitutional Republic and Democracy are not a parsng of words, and are much more differant than you suggest in your post...
This country is slowly but surely turning Socialist, and yet many Americans do not believe that.. But thats the truth,anyone who has spent time overseas, knows that all the countries wonder why Americans are so stupid and dont see that we are turning slowly into a socialist state...
What I'm personally seeing is more and more disagreements between states and federal control. I'm even seeing break downs in policies within states. Northern vs. Southern California, Wisconsin, just to name a couple. I think that at some point states will begin to ignore federal authority. will not defer to federal court decisions. will maintain their own direction with respect to many issues they feel are critical to their own safety and best interests. Federal Governments will in turn move in to take over but then more states will follow suit and as this moves forward federal government control will become less and less of a factor. With a majority of states no longer deferring to federal control a new type of federal government more in tune to states rights will have to be formed. This could be a slow and even sometimes bloody process but time will tell. This forming of a new federal government would be a hopeful best result. other possibilities much more disastrous could also be in the realm of possibility.
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.

Ten Days for Peace and Human Rights
13th September, 2012 - Posted by Zarah Patriana - No Comments
After a month of visiting 25 cities across the United States to raise awareness about the Drug War, the Caravan for Peace with Justice and Dignity has come to a close. However, the end of this cross-country journey is just the beginning of new partnerships, friendships, and a new way forward to change the policies of this war that has hurt so many of us.
In every city we visited, the Caravan for Peace achieved powerful results and raised awareness that will fundamentally alter the course of the failed drug war.
Starting in Southern California, through the South West, into Texas, across the Deep South, north to Chicago, and along the East Coast, each community greeted the caravaneros with heartfelt and moving events, complete with music, food and commitments to support the Caravana's on going agenda. Our journey would not have been possible without solid grassroots support — thank you!
Thousands of people have expressed their support for ending military aid to Mexico, changing the dialogue on prohibition, promoting immigration policies that respect the dignities of all people, and ceasing the flow of illegal weapons across the border.
Continue to join the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity for the next ten days as we take action for 10 Days for Peace & Human Rights from September 12-21.
Join the call on President Obama to stop the flow of assault weapons into our communities. Help us get to the critical 100,000 petition signature mark and support the victims of the drug war.
10 Days for Peace & Human Rights Sept 12 – 21
- We mourn the lives lost and dedicate ourselves the changes we need to see.
- Organize Your Communities and Prepare for the International Day of Peace on the 21st.
- Organize Conferences, Screenings and Artistic events that help further awareness of Human Rights.
- Generate working groups to peacefully and effectively speak out against violence and injustice you see in the world.
- Be creative!
Plan your action:
- Find a central place or a symbolic place where people can gather.
- Dress in white and carry flowers, candles and statements calling for the end to the violence.
- Make a call to your local press person and designate a press spokes person.
- Sing, chant, march! Keep speeches to a minimum.
- Send your best pictures and descriptions to email@example.com so it can be posted on the Caravan for Peace website.
- Collect names in order to continue your local work – passing a city resolution, setting up speaking events for victims fundraising for the Movement for Peace and Justice with Dignity.
- Don't forget to send us a description of your event it can be posted on the Caravan for Peace website.
- Help reach the goal of 100,000 signatures in our petition to stop illegal gun smuggling by September 12th. You can do so by texting "peace" to 225568 or visiting the petition online at Presente.org.
Once again, thank you for your continued support every step of the way on this journey for peace with justice and dignity.

For reasons I cannot explain, Memorial Day in Oregon is often plagued by rain. Today was mostly the case, though we were given a small period where the clouds parted and sunshine seeped in, however fleeting. We have renamed the Memorial to the Marcellus Norwest Veterans Memorial, in honor of one of the pillars of our community who passed on last weekend, and who was the driving force behind the iconic structure that people travel from far and wide to see.
I did my best to get a shot with the blue sky and Spirit Mountain in the background. Can only do so much with an iPod touch.

Loan modification and bankruptcy
For bankruptcy attorneys, the loan modification roller coaster began on October 17th, 2008, when the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, also known as HUD issued instructions to their lenders to work with home owner Debtors filing bankruptcy, and to contact the Debtor's attorney to offer a loan modification. HUD issued the following instructions to the mortgage industry:
"The Department was recently approached by the mortgage industry and bankruptcy experts regarding the Department's current guidance on mortgagors in bankruptcy. As a result of these discussions, the Department understands that contact with debtor's counsel or a bankruptcy trustee does not constitute a violation of the automatic stay and that waiting until a bankruptcy is discharged or dismissed before offering loss mitigation may be injurious to the interests of the borrower, the mortgagee and the FHA insurance funds.
Effective immediately, mortgagees must, upon receipt of notice of a bankruptcy filing, send information to debtor's counsel indicating that loss mitigation may be available, and provide instruction sufficient to facilitate workout discussions including documentation requirements, timeframes and servicer contact information. Working through debtor's counsel, mortgagees may offer appropriate loss mitigation options prior to discharge or dismissal, without requiring relief from the automatic stay and in the case of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, without requiring re-affirmation of the debt. It is strongly recommended that the bankruptcy trustee be copied on all such communications. All loss mitigation actions must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court prior to final execution.
Nothing in this mortgagee letter requires that mortgagees make direct contact with any borrower under bankruptcy protection. However, the information required to file a bankruptcy petition (now a matter of public record) will often include sufficient financial information for the mortgagee to properly evaluate the borrower's eligibility for loss mitigation. Using this financial information, many mortgagees have been able to complete the loss mitigation evaluation before the bankruptcy plan is confirmed and have offered a pre-approved loan modification agreement. For those mortgagors that sought bankruptcy protection solely to avoid foreclosure of their homes, this solution allowed the mortgagor to have the bankruptcy dismissed and begin fresh with a mortgage obligation that is both current and with payments that the mortgagor can afford. For those mortgagors with other financial problems, the resolution of the mortgage problem will put them in a better position to resolve the remaining financial issues."
This was really a very positive step in the right direction, because it recognized the hardship so many home owners were going through. It also legitimized the three pronged approach we have been pursuing, which is to discharge all unsecured debts like credit card debts, etc, to lien strip any secondary liens or mortgages in the property, and to modify the first mortgage, through a lowering of interest, usually fixed for several years, and a reduction of principle, which is lowering the balance to fair market value, or even lower.
There are some law firms and brokers who are advocating suing the lenders for violation of the Truth in Lending Act, or other violations. They tell their clients that they can get the courts to order a rescission of the loan, and a repayment of all interest paid, (for loans financed during the last three years). The problem is that the borrower must also return all the money borrowed, within 20 days of the court order. If you borrowed $500,000, and your home is only worth $400,000, where do you get the money? Some lenders will not fight the case, they would prefer to return the interest, if they can get the entire loan paid back.
This approach simply doesn't make any sense at all. Stay away from brokers and law firms who tell you that suing the bank will buy you time, and get you a house free and clear. It doesn't work, and is very misleading.
Another recent option worth looking at, is the new Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) If you're not behind on your mortgage payments but have been unable to get traditional refinancing because the value of your home has declined, you may be eligible to refinance through MHA's Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). HARP is designed to help you get a new, more affordable, more stable mortgage. HARP refinance loans require a loan application and underwriting process, and refinance fees will apply.
You may be eligible for HARP if you meet all of the following criteria:
- The mortgage must be owned or guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
- The mortgage must have been sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009.
- The mortgage cannot have been refinanced under HARP previously unless it is a Fannie Mae loan that was refinanced under HARP from March-May, 2009.
- The current loan-to-value (LTV) ratio must be greater than 80%.
- The borrower must be current on the mortgage at the time of the refinance, with a good payment history in the past 12 months.
While on the subject of negotiating with the banks on a possible loan modification, the Los Angeles Times, in a recent article reported, and I quote: "California lawmakers have passed legislation that would provide homeowners with some of the nation's strongest protections from foreclosure and such aggressive bank practices as seizing a home while the owner is negotiating to lower mortgage payments.
After years of distress in the housing and mortgage markets, during which lenders seized nearly a million California houses, legislators Monday sent a pair of Assembly and Senate bills to Gov. Jerry Brown designed to help financially troubled borrowers stay in their homes. This law will be effective in January 2013". End of quote.
This law is obviously designed to make sure the bank is negotiating in good faith, and not just trying to collect non-refundable mortgage payments, while pursuing a trust deed sale anyway.
In the past, we frequently had to be ready with a bankruptcy filing, to thwart the real possibility that the bank's trust deed sale was going forward, while negotiating with the bank's loan modification department, that our client would send three months mortgage payments while waiting for a decision. Either the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing, or the banks were acting in bad faith.

Orlando Weddings:
When you think Orlando, you probably think Disney, which makes this sunny tourist hub an ideal wedding destination! At Walt Disney World, you can have your own fairytale wedding complete with a horse-drawn carriage, or recite your vows at one of the many luxe hotels nearby, like the Grand Floridian or Disney's Polynesian Resort.
Orlando wedding destinations:
Downtown, the historic Grand Bohemian Hotel offers banquet facilities with grand pianos, rich décor and more than 150 works of art, while the Courtyard at Lake Lucerne exudes Victorian elegance in a romantic patio setting. Another popular Orlando wedding venue, the Wyndham Orlando Resort off International Drive, features pavilions flanked by tropical lagoons, pools and fountains where couples can tie the knot.
If theme parks and hotels aren't your thing, consider the posh leafy suburbs of Apopka or Winter Park, which offer a variety of churches, historic Spanish buildings, banquet halls and manors. Picturesque Lake Mary, just 18 miles North of Orlando, is another sought-after locale. Or head east to Cocoa or Daytona Beach, where you can say "I Do" to your honey with your toes in the sand.

I've been a handgun owner for decades but picked up first rifle/carbine this past week (CX4 Store 45). I haven't fired a rifle since my two years in the military ('72 ~ '74). Since then my far sight has gone totally south.
My pistol practice is mostly point shooting at less then 10 yards. At that distance I'm accurate without using the pistol sights. Beyond that point shooting accuracy diminishes. When I tried to use the sights with my glasses on I can see the target clearly but the sights are blurred. If I take my glasses off the sights are clear but the target is blurred. At 25 yards the target is very blurred and I can't imagine trying to hit anything at 50 ~ 100 yards.
Are there optics that can help improve my unaided distance vision?
I have a pair of fixed focus binoculars that have no focus adjustment and yet the image is pretty clear (much better then my unaided sight) when looking through them. Are there sights that do something similar?
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
At OpticsPlanet.com, you can use the search feature to zero-in on several options. ie, head over to RifleScopes, or RedDotScopes, then use <search> for the keywords you want, such as: aimpoint 2x .
Seems like one of the expensive holographic or red dot sights might work best for you. Most have mounting options for handguns. If willing to go a more-standard scope format, there are long-eye-relief options out there.
AimPoint makes red dot sights with slight magnification: Comp ML2 2x, 9000SC 2x, or the 3x Module for (some) AimPoint red dot sights.
There are also the EoTech holographic options, which include 3x and 4x choices.
Or, you could go with one of several small-power, extended eye-relief scopes, such as: Leupold FX 2.5x28 IER Scout scope, Nikon 2.5-8x28 EER scope, Bushnell Trophy 2-6x32 handgun scope.
I have the Leupold FX2 Scout, and it's pretty great for use on my Marlin 1894 scout rifle. The Nikon has exceptional optics as well, but the Bushnell (I found) required extremely long eye-relief (too long for where I needed it positioned). For my use, the Leupold allows easy, two-eyed scanning of the field and quick pick-up of the target in the scope when you're about to shoot. A bit long for mounting on a pistol, I think, let alone the added weight, but that's just me.

Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I have exactly the same problem as you and here's what I did. I use Bolle Vigilante shooting glasses when at the range. These will accept a prescription insert. I had my optometrist give me a prescription that corrected my vision to 20/30 instead of 20/20 which I then had my optician use to make lenses for the insert. Now at the range, the sights aren't perfect but I can see them and the target isn't perfect but I can see it. This has worked out great for me for general range practice and for CAS competitions. Using this combination, I once even took second place in a CAS long range event with my iron sighted Sharps shooting out to 500 yards. However, you should still practice some with your EDC using your normal glasses as that is what you are going to have on should a defensive situation ever arise.
ps -- any rifle scope can be adjusted for your un-aided vision.

You can get an aimpoint or eotech and the image of the reticle will be superimposed on the target (think something close to a laser sight, without the laser).
I have an aimpoint but I have 20/20 vision so I don't need the magnification. You wouldn't need the magnification either, but you'd still have the issue of not being able to see close while focused far (based on my reading of your post)... so the ACOG would help because you could be focused near and far via the eye trickery of the BAC system that it utilizes.
If you are fine with just being target focused, then the aimpoint or eotech should work for you.
"Wise people learn when they can; fools learn when they must." - The Duke of Wellington
Well friend, you just described me to the tee!! I'm 48 and in the same boat. I went with an Eotech on my AR and that helps alot. W/out my glasses it's a big red glob in their but with my glasses I can use that well.
Next, I've tried a lot of different red dots but the smaller tube size is hard for my eyes. I'm considering this one...
Truglo 2x42 Dual Color Red Dot Sight
It's got some magnification and I believe the 42mm tube will be better than the more typical 30mm.
Now if you want a bit more precision but at a good price. Nikon Prostaff rimfire scope is compact and would look REALLY good on your rifle. It's a fixed 4 power which i think would be ideal for that weapon. it can be had for right around $100. Now if you're setting this up for close quarters, then a traditional scope might not work in which case you're back to the truglow. It runs $99.
Bummer getting older. I've wanted a lever action .357 but everytime I pick one up I can't hardly make out the sights unless it's really bright out!
But thank God we can still shoot and thank God you could afford such a nice rifle as the Storm!
That TruGlo is a POS, I've got one sitting in my junk gun accessories box right now.
I am also near sighted and just this past year have started getting back in to rifle shooting and have faced the same troubles you are. I wear bifocals now and it is difficult to find the "sweet spot" when shooting with a scope or iron sights. I found that I can see perfectly through my scope and the reticle is nice and clear as long as I'm not wearing my glasses, like your binoculars do for you. If I wear my glasses the reticle is blurry. I'd imagine you'll get the same effect with any optic that offers some magnification. There are some low power variable scopes out there made for shotguns that might work well on your Storm. Nikon has 2-7x that I had looked at for my AR-15 before going with something more powerful, it looks like a pretty good deal.

I would imagine I can complain about vision problems with the best of them. Very nearsighted since age of 8 and by the time I was nearing 50 had -11 in both eyes....about 20:2000 uncorrected. But, wearing hard contacts for about 30 years worked well, and only needed readers occassionally. I opted for lasic surgery, but was not amongst the best candidates... at my own acceptance of the risk factor, had the surgery. Ended up about 20:600, and without super strong readers over my contacts I can bearly see to read headlines on the newspaper....so.... I can sympathize with the vision impared. I do have some rather experimental contacts that make a huge difference in both near and distance vision, but I am amongst the one out of 4 that just can't wear them on a regular basis. So, I have to deal with the inability to see the sights well. Having recently bought a CX4 Storm myself I had to find the compromise solution to the vision problem as well. Being a pistol round in the first place, and not a tack driving target weapon anyway, I figured that optics really weren't going to make a significant differents...at least no magnification oprics. I thought about eotech....for about 30 seconds. Really nice, tough stuff, but almost as much money as I paid for my slightly used CX4. A buddy took his ATN UltraSight off one of his match pistols at the range one afternoon and insisted I try it on the Storm. It took maybe 5 minutes to install and adjust to have every round inside 3 inches at 50 yards, without me wearing readers. I can dial the red dot reticle up to enough brightness that it will appear to cover my target sufficiently to hit COM easily at 50 yards. I ended up giving my buddy $75 for his ATN and he was going to buy the next step up as a replacement. I don't like the fact that a horizontal oriented dial type switch has to be manipulated to turn it on, and hunt for the selected brightness, but if I'm not mistaken, the new "digital models" turn on and off with a button and retain the settings that were pre set.
I think the heads up reflex sights are perfect for short range guns like the CX4, and great for us folks that weren't endowed with perfect vision. Sorry for the rambling.
Thanks for the feedback folks.
After doing a little more research I may be creating an issue where there is none with respect to red dot and holographic sights.
If I'm understanding the technology correctly the red dot or other reticle is projected out 50 yards or so which means when viewing the reticle through the sight it appears as if it was at a distance and not a few inches away from you, eliminating the typical blurring that would occur when wearing glass to correct for nearsightness would not occur.
Based on what I've read by others that are nearsighted and have used these type of sights the trick is not to focus on the glass in front of you but the target (which is at a distance) and the red dot or other reticle (that is made to appear at a distance).
Please let me know if I'm totally off the wall on this.
Aimpoints and Eotechs utilize more lenses and your eye will be tricked into believing the dot is at the same distance as what the dot is covering. If you still have a problem you can keep the cover on the front of the sight and when you sight your non-dominant eye will transpose the dot onto the target. This is what separates a true holographic scope from a basic reflex.
ETA: Aimpoint's explanation is here. <-- Clicky
"Wise people learn when they can; fools learn when they must." - The Duke of Wellington
I think the holographic sight might be the way to go. If what you're really looking at through the sight are images that are projected at a distance then the glasses for distance clarity should be an issue. I'll start with an inexpensive one to see if it's viable for my eyesight situation and then step up to something of higher quality for permanent use.
Of course I'd like to go top of the line like an Eotech but budget wise it's more likely going to be Bushnell Holographic...
The Bushnell HOLOsight - It's Not Just for Handguns Anymore!
or Burris Fastfire...
SCP-300230 - Burris FastFire Red Dot Reflex Sight Picatinny 4 MOA with Picatinny Mount Included
Any experience with either of these?
well, since you mentioned the Burris FastFire, which is a reflex sight (rather than the more expensive holo), here's one link for the ATN:

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
We have a database in MySQL that contains data with accentuated characters (Brazilian Portuguese). The scripts system is in PHP.
When it is made a search in this database, the system seeks and it returns records from the database that match exactly the characters, as they were typed. For instance: if the user types in the search field "Săo José" (accented), the system doesn't find records that contains "Sao Jose" (without accents). Still, if the search is made by "Sao Jose" (without accents), the system doesn't find records that contains "Săo José" (accented).
Does some way exist that PHP/MySQL returns all of the occurrences in function of the characters, ignoring its accentuation, in other words, independently if the characters in the database OR search field are or not accentuated?
Thank you very much
Valter - Brazil
I think your main problem here is data integrity. The two phrases aren't the same from an ascii point of view. I would suggest streamlining the data when it is inserted into the db. Either, removing all accents or making sure they are all there(which is alot of work). We did have a discussion about removing special chars that might help.

someone else may know a better solution though.

Hope this helps.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have been working in cable for over 5 years. I worked for another contractor for most of them. During this last year I couldn't find any work and then I found ACI. Hiring all the time. Ten new guys in class every week.
First. You are required to work 6 days. No Option 6 days or we threaten you with dismissal.
Second. You have to surrender $10/week from your check as a "safe driver" savings. This builds up to $500. In the event that you damage your company truck ACI takes the $500 to cover the deductible for the insurance claim.
>> I damaged my truck. They took my $500 But they never filled an insurance claim and my truck never got fixed. Where does that $500 go? The manager laughed as he talked about a different truck getting the same thing done. "it doesn't matter where you get the estimate done. We ain't getting it fixed anyway." he laughed.
Third. If I lose or damage equipment (cable boxes from comcast) I have to pay for it out of my check. I didn't think you could force employees to pay for accidental damages. You can write them up, or fire them, but not take their pay?
Fourth. If Comcast assess a charge back the tech looses pay for that job. A charge back is a term used for contractors. If Comcast has to go back out to a job a contractor does and has to fix it or finds that it was not done up to spec Comcast charges the contractor or fines them. The fine is usually more than the job paid. BUT ACI has employees not contractors. ACI is a contractor of Comcast but we are employees.
Fifth. ACI does not list pay amounts on daily sheets, they do not have the techs submit a weekly sheet. "we'll do that for you." The tech have no idea what they are billing or how much they should be making.
This place REEEEKS of scam. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION HERE and a UNION would probably shut these guys down.

I don't see how they could file a lawsuit. By the time it gets to court all the employees will have turned over about 4 times and the way you get paid will have changed 3 times. They'll force you to sign away various rights like they do every couple of weeks.
ACI is the most mis-managed company I have ever worked for. They have meetings where the topic of the day is about being on time. Of course the manager can't even show up on time for those. You turn in paperwork for medical problems and it gets lost. You work 6 days and they forget 2 of them. And lets not forget the meetings! They have meetings about meetings there and its always bad news for the techs. Maybe if the management there tried strapping on a toolbelt and running a route the way they say they want you to do it we would see some changes.
They have cut our pay so bad for each job that nobody is going to spend time doing it right. If comcast ever takes a look at the quality of the work we are doing they would toss us out and I wouldn't blame them. We are put in the spot of deciding whether to do it right and go broke or do it fast and put food on the table. Sorry but my family comes first for me.

Architecture plays an important role in the way I think about jewellery and in the way I compose my pieces. The scale is the factor that changes. I believe that the microscale gives me more freedom of expression, because it has fewer restrictions.
Many times I act intuitively, without having a certain plan or image in my mind of the final result. I let the materials lead me and I often find myself positively surprised of how the completed project differs from my original intent.
Characteristic of my work is the strict geometric compositions and some collections are dominated by sharp angles and zigzags. Other groups of jewellery are freed from the concrete architectural frame and consist of more curved forms.
I am very interested in combining contradictory elements, in exploring the textures, in inventing different connections and sometimes even my own techniques of processing a material.
Of course I always try to create a unified aesthetic whole, a harmonious composition.

Juliet Sharp
this wiki
Juliet Cynthia Sharpe is a recurring character in the fourth season of Gossip Girl during which she served as the main antagonist. She appeared exclusively within the television adaption and is portrayed by Katie Cassidy.
Juliet Sharp is introduced as a student at Columbia University and serves as the primary antagonist of the first half of season four. She had a personal vendetta against Serena van der Woodsen because she believed she was the reason her brother is in prison although it was later revealed that it was actually Lily.
Season 4
Juliet makes for first appearance in the season four opener Belles de Jour. She came from Connecticut, and is a "townie". Her older half-brother Ben Donovan taught as an English teacher at the same boarding school that Serena attended before the beginning of the series. He and Serena grew close, as she valued him as someone who took her seriously without attempts at exploiting her. They shared a mutual affection for each other, and while Serena attempted at spending the night with him, he declined her due to their teacher-student relationship. When Serena decided to come back to New York, Lily, unable to get Serena into any school in the city, overhears a rumor that Serena was sleeping with a teacher. She uses this to her advantage, not knowing how far it would go. Since Serena was a minor at the time, Ben was charged with statutory rape and transporting a minor across state lines. He is told that Serena stated an affidavit confirming everything. Lily pressured the DA's office into offering Ben a plea deal where he would stay off the registered sex offender list and the scandal would not be publicized so long as he serves time in prison.
Seeking revenge for destroying Ben's life, Ben and Juliet plan to ruin Serena's life. Juliet begins dating Nate to at first get close to Serena, but actually falls for him in the process. When Ben believes that Juliet has actually fallen for Nate, he has two guys attack Nate's dad The Captain in prison, where he was recently transferred to. When Juliet finds out, she breaks up with Nate to avoid him being hurt by what they're doing.
At the same time, Serena has met Juliet and Ben's cousin, a wealthy businessman/guest professor Colin Forrester and the two begin to date quietly. Colin financially supports Juliet, by giving her money for school and her rent.
When Juliet meets Vanessa, she realizes that she could be a good ally. When Juliet spreads the rumor about Serena having an STD, she uses Vanessa, who is worried that Dan caught it from her, to steal Serena's phone. When Vanessa leaves for a minute, Juliet uses the phone to email one of Serena's professors offering sex for grades. When Serena is confronted by the Dean, Juliet sneaks her phone into Vanessa's purse and successfully pins the email on her. In Juliet Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Vanessa finds pictures of Serena and Colin kissing on Juliet's computer when she breaks in. When Juliet returns home, she quickly deletes them, having just gotten a second chance with Nate. Vanessa steals the USB drive with the pictures, and later at the ballet, tells Juliet that Nate set her up and that at the end of the day, everyone will always choose Serena. They try to tell the Dean, but fail. Colin overhears what happened and cuts Juliet off completely, both financially and as family. After, they call Jenny to ask for help.
In The Witches of Bushwick, Juliet, Vanessa, and Jenny prepare to take down Serena. To cut her off from Blair, they have her tell Anne Archibald that Serena is interested in the Girls, Inc. foundation position Blair is interested in. It works, since Blair believes Serena is trying to steal her spotlight. To cut her off from Nate and Dan, they steal the SIM card from her phone to mess with them both. At Chuck's Saints and Sinners party, Juliet and Jenny dress as Serena and kiss Nate and Dan, who realize they were both played by Serena. They cut her off from her own well being. Unbeknownst to Jenny and Vanessa, Juliet drugs Serena and sends an email to the Dean stating her resignation from the school. When Lily and Eric find out, they believe Serena has once again gone off the rails and ran away.
In Gaslit, Serena awakens in a cheap motel in Queens, after being heavily drugged. She calls 911 and is taken to the hospital. Lily decides to let the hospital facilitate involuntary admission to the Ostroff Center for rehab. Serena is positive she didn't do drugs of any kind until a picture of Juliet dressed as Serena pops up on Gossip Girl doing drugs. Meanwhile, Juliet has told Vanessa that if she tells what they did, the whole Humphrey/Van Der Woodsen clan, including Dan, would cut her off. Vanessa then blames the whole thing on Jenny. When Jenny goes to Juliet's apartment, she finds she has left town. She goes to see Blair, where she tells her it was Juliet the whole time. At the same time, Juliet has told Ben what she did, including drugging her. Ben is shocked, and tells her that killing Serena was not part of the plan. Juliet shows no remorse and heads back to Connecticut.
Dan and Blair go on a witch hunt to find Juliet in The Townie. Meanwhile, Juliet returns to the city and confronts Serena. She confesses why she did what she did and Serena is confused, since she didn't ever sign an affidavit. She realizes it was Lily all along. Realizing she was mistaken about who was to blame, Juliet apologizes to everyone and leaves promising not to cause any more trouble.

All-state guard Amanda Berchtold verbally committed to Gannon on Wednesday. The Mercyhurst Prep senior is a superb ball-handler and a stalwart on defense. She earned a spot on the all-district team as a junior and has been named to the all-region team the past two years.
Berchtold is the fourth member of the Erie Saints AAU organization to commit to a college this summer. Villa Maria's Lisa Mifsud and Adrienne Kloecker committed to Division I Holy Cross and Division II Mercyhurst earlier this summer. Greenville standout Brooklyn Taylor was the third member of the Erie Saints to commit after choosing St. Francis.

Official release from Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Victory today announces that it has signed former Adelaide United and Brisbane Roar midfielder, Spase Dilevski, on a one-year deal.
After spells at Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven and English Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur, Dilevski returned to Australia in 2005 when he made his Hyundai A-League debut for the Queenslanders, before a second stint in the national competition last season with the Reds.
After an injury interrupted 2011/12 season the 27 year-old said he was looking forward to the next phase of his career: "Being a Melbourne boy, I'm really excited to be moving back home and playing for Victory after so many years overseas and interstate.
"I've worked under Ange (Postecoglou) at Australian U-20's level and I'm delighted to be reunited with him and hopefully I can do a job for the team next season.
"Melbourne Victory's fans are amazing and it's going to be a real buzz playing in-front of not only them, but my family also."
Melbourne Victory Coach, Ange Postecoglou, said Dilevski's signing would provide greater versatility to the playing group: "Spase is experienced beyond his years and can do a variety of different jobs in both midfield and defence.
"I've coached him before and he's a smart player and I think he will really compliment the squad we're starting to build."
Dilevski joins Sam Gallagher and Adama Traore as the club's latest signings, with several places still to be filled before the commencement of the 2012/13 season.

Ledley urges Celtic to sign Bellamy
Celtic midfielder Joe Ledley has called on the club to sign his Wales team-mate Craig Bellamy, who appears to be surplus to requirements at Manchester City.
• Celtic confirm Wanyama deal
• Celtic blog: Ditch Bellamy for Bothroyd
Bellamy, 31, has found himself on the outside looking in at Eastlands under Roberto Mancini and was farmed out to hometown club Cardiff on loan last season.
And with the former Liverpool and Newcastle striker likely to find first-team opportunities restricted again in 2011-12, Ledley believes that a return to Parkhead - where Bellamy impressed during a loan spell in 2005 - would be beneficial for both his compatriot and the Hoops.
"Craig Bellamy would also be a great signing," Ledley said. "Craig has been here before and he enjoyed his time here. On his day he can be one of the greatest.
"I remember the derby game a couple of years ago away to Manchester United where he was totally fantastic for City. I spoke to him at the end of the season and he has some big decisions to make, but I think he would like to come back.
"I asked the question about Celtic, of course I did. He loved his time here and if a deal can be done hopefully he can come back. It would be nice to have him here again, but we also have great players here already."

My first child was born in late 1976. Her first sentence was "Shake your booty", the lyrics from a song by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Try explaining that one to the onlookers standing in line at the bank with you...
My oldest son would sat "she it" meaning see it but people thought different!
I don't remember my kids saying anything funny like that, but the Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond) actually recorded her youngest asking her repeatedly for a "juice bag" (like a Capri Sun) only it sounded like he was asking for a feminine hygiene product. lol.
When my oldest son was 3.. my mother was taking a trip to California with my aunt. So I took my two sons to the airport to watch grandma leave on the plane. Well we were in the little cafe at the airport.... and a huge plane came in. (his first to see) he screams out... holy balls... quiet as all heck in there at the time..there was a woman in their waiting for her flight to go back to her homeland of Germany..the look on her face. I remember this the most of anything. The security guard that happened to be walking by at the time busted out laughing so hard and the german woman...told him.. he should be scolded..for condoning such behavior from a child.
My oldest daughter (now 33) didn't talk much at all until she was nearly two. However, ever since then she has made up for it big time and never stops talking. I once made her a shirt that said "I'm talking and I can't shut up!" and it didn't phase her one bit. Well, back to the story. By the time she was three, she was talking up a blue streak and also loved to sing. My folks farmed and my mother loved to listen to the little local country radio station that played lots of oldies. So, one time when my DD was with my DMIL, at the grocery store she started singing, at the top of her lungs as usual, "Those Old Cotton Fields Back Home". A elderly man came around the end of an aisle, then just stood there and listened to her sing. When she finished he clapped for her and handed her a dollar, telling my DMIL that he hadn't heard that song in many years.
I don't remember my Son's first sentence but I do remember him turning a whole sentence I would say to him into one single word.
I would ask him Do you Want a Bottle of Milk? and he would then ask for Buck. Buck to him was Bottle of Milk. Smart kid.
My DGD didn't say anything in particular, just talked nonstop! There was no way you did not know what aisle we were in at the grocery store. Now, she was happy, and finding something to say about some product picture or packaging color. "Meemaw that's silly, cows don't talk", or "Ooooh that's a pretty color" She was 3. And of course, she said this at the top of her lungs. When we got to the check out, the cashier said, "there you are!"
These are not her first words but love to tell this. Remember it like yesterday. I have 3 daughters. One day we picked our 5 yr. old up from school, she climbed into the back seat with our 2 and 3 yr. old. She had a Halloween party at school that day and had some candy with her. The 2 little ones kept begging her for candy, finally she said very firmly No, but I'll let you lick my fingers. My husband and I laughed so hard, he had to pull over. That little kindergartner is now 41. Thats just 1 of many special memories I have of my daughters when they were tiny.
Our oldest son was born in 1977. My husband would rock him and sing "Momma don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys". I use to laugh and say that our son would probably sing that song before he said "momma or daddy".
