Skipper undergoes injection on knee
Wolves will be playing a waiting game on skipper Samuel Ricketts ahead of the return to league action against Coventry after he had an injection in his injured knee.
Ricketts, who turns 32 today, has had to pull out of the Welsh squad after aggravating a knee injury sustained on his last international appearance against Macedonia last month.
He has remained at Compton for treatment with the aim now to see if he can return to training at the end of next week to be available for the Sky Blues' visit.
"He's had an injection and we're just seeing how it reacts really," said Head Coach Kenny Jackett.
"He won't train at the start of next week and we'll certainly be giving him the next week to see how it is.
"It will be close whether he makes it for the Coventry game – it will be next Thursday or Friday morning whether he trains.
"We're giving him as long as possible because he will need all that time and I don't think he'll train before then.
"If we had a game tomorrow or Tuesday, he'd have no chance of playing.
"They need seven days from the injection yesterday and then we've got games on Saturday and Tuesday.
"The thinking is to shut it down for 10 days and to give him every opportunity of being fit and then assess it when he comes back.
"But it's been troubling him for some weeks although he's played with it.
"Hopefully now this break will clear it up – that's the hope.
"Whether then he can go on and play all the game, I don't know, but we want to clear it up somewhere along the line.
"We need to break and stop to get it right and hopefully now we can give it enough time and we've got enough of a break to clear it up completely."
Wolves will travel to Austria for their 2017/18 pre-season trainin....

At Sevanagala, Pelwatte:
By L.S. Ananda WEDAARACHCHI
Sugarcane ready for crushing
"The sugarcane industry has achieved a remarkable progress during the
last six months under the new management of Sevanagala and Pelwatta
sugar factories", Productivity Promotion Minister Lakshman Seneviratna
Both the companies were taken over by the government last year under
the Parliamentary Act on 'revival of underperforming Enterprises and
Underutilized Assets'.
The 'Sunday Observer' interviewed Minister Lakshman Seniviratna, last
Question: There was a breakdown in operations at the said
sugar factories during the transition period from the private sector to
the public sector. How did you manage to overcome the difficulties and
improve the production within a span of five months?.
A: It was really a challenge to us. Some machine parts had to
be replaced as the originals were found missing. The majority of the
employees and the sugarcane cultivators were also not happy with the
previous owners. After a series of discussions we could persuade the
workforce to commit themselves to their jobs in the larger interest of
the country. My ministry conducted a number of workshops and
productivity seminars.
Minister Lakshman Seneviratna
After motivating them all the workers, Chief Operating Officers,
General Managers and Superintendents did their utmost to improve the
overall setup of the factories to bring it to the current position.
Q: What was the reason for the lack of cooperation between the
previous management and the workforce and sugar cultivators?
A: The staffers' salaries and due payments of sugarcane
suppliers were not paid on time by the previous management. The
cultivators who are ordinary farmers were anxious to have their dues
paid without delay. They do not undergo such difficulties under the new
Q: Do you think the local sugarcane industry has a better
A: India, Thailand, Malaysia have developed the native
sugarcane industry. Although our own sugarcane industry was far more
developed in the 80s, the privatisation program introduced by the then
government in 1992 resulted in the total ruins of the industry.
The Hingurana and Kantale factories cannot be revived. The industry
could be developed only by revamping Pelwatta and Sevanagala factories.
Sri Lanka has the necessary climate and geographical conditions
conducive to sugar cultivation. The Hingurana, Kantale, Sevanagala and
Pelwatte factories were operational until their privatisation in 1992.
According to the 'Mahinda Chintana' 40 percent of the country's sugar
requirement should be produced locally on or before 2020. This shows the
government's keenness to develop the sugar industry.
Q: Sugarcane cultivation was one of the main livelihoods of
those in the Moneragala district. With Hingurana, Kantale, Sevanagala
and Pelwatte factories becoming non-operational the sugarcane
cultivators were forced to switch over to other crops. What is the
present situation?
A: Two decades ago 25,000 ha in the Dry Zone were cultivated
with sugarcane; with Kantale 3840 ha, Hingurana 5660 ha, Pelwatta 4500
ha and Sevenagala 4680 ha.
Sugercane cultivation in the Dry Zone has dropped to less than 1000
ha mainly due to the unwise policies of private sugar factory owners'
the sugarcane cultivators disclosed the benefits enjoyed under the State
management had been denied to the cultivators by the previous factory
They alleged that they were provided with inferior quality
fertilizer. The agriculture loans were also given on higher interest
rates by the factory owners. Now the situation is different. The lot of
cultivators has since been improved.Around 60 percent of the former
sugarcane cultivators have since resumed sugarcane cultivation.
Q: Is there a corporate plan to improve the sugar industry?
A: The country's sugar requirement per annum is about 600000
mt which Rs. 6 billion to the state coffers. On the otherhand world
sugar prices are also on the increase and this has necessitated the
development of the industry.
Both Sevanagala and Pelwatta factories had cultivated sugarcane in an
area of 7372 ha and 31000 mt of sugar in 2010. Meanwhile, the
cultivation area, quantity of cane crushed by sugar companies and sugar
production in Sri Lanka dropped by 13%, 36% and 41% respectively between
2004 – 2010. The retail price of a kilogram of sugar also increased from
Rs. 60 to Rs. 115 in the last 4 years.
According to the Corporate Plan prepared by the authorities the
successful revamping programe of Pelwatta and Sevanagala sugar factories
will help to improve the production.
The Corporate Plan has projected a production of 10 percent of the
local sugar requirement within next 3 years. Manufacturing and promoting
the use of compost fertilizer and developing renewable energy are the
other areas of the corporate plan.

HCG Diet - Homeopathic version

HCG is working for me! (homeopathic)
Due to the success of a co-worker of mine on the HCG spray I decided to give it a try. I am a normal sized woman who stores fat on my thighs (saddle bags) and I hate to work out. I always have eaten well so I have been able to maintain my 5'4" body around 123 - 127. However, I am married to a man who works out and wants me to do the same. I hate working out so much that I decided to try and cut the body fat other ways.
I bought HCG drops from amazon and started them Aug. 2 (the first day of a light menstrual period day). The program is 25 days; day 1-2 load with HCG, day 3-23 500 calorie limit with HCG, day 24-25 500 calorie limit with no HCG. Then 25 days of maintenance with watching weight gains and losses. The first two days I got headaches (apparently it's a detox reaction). The first week was hard, in the sense that I need to figure out the best time to take my drops in ration to when I was going to eat so I would not be hungry. Now I am on day 11 and I have gone from 128 to 118. I now know what to eat and when, there are a lot of websites that suggest recipes so it can become easy.
This diet causes your body to burn fat storage instead of muscle, thus following the suggested diet is crucial to follow or your body will burn the food instead of your fat! My husband had noticed a difference in my body too! My fat pockets have shrunk and my skin is nice and tight around the areas that I am losing so I know it is working!
Ill post back next week on my progress!!!

I would like to see almost 100% stopping power in the forward direction. You shouldn't be able to run up to and blindfire kill someone that is aiming at you.
Stopping power works in a similar way to my solution. Your proposition (to make stopping power only apply to one direction, forward) addresses the biggest problem with increased stopping power, but not all of the problems. I will use an example to help prove my point (which is that blindfiring in an aggressive manner, forward, is useful and legitimate). You already seem to recognise that universally increasing stopping power (in all directions) is a bad idea.
Imagine you climb up a ledge and see an opponent firing through a doorway at probably one of your team mates (at maybe a 90° angle to you). Now, like the good, upstanding Uncharted player you are you aim down your sights and start firing. Now, at that point he has already killed your team mate and can now confront you. As a skilled player, he quickly takes cover in the doorway. However, he has already taken a 50% loss in health. You don't want him to have a chance to regenerate his health or escape, so you quickly move start blindfiring at him to finish him off. However, (using your 100% SP in the forward direction) he pops out (using FF) and shoots you just once. You're now frozen. He jumps from behind cover and quickly finishes you off (even if you tried to escape, because that's the only thing you can do). He could easily outmanuer your aiming because he has FF in a CQC style battle. And standing still, blindfiring, isn't effective.
I don't know about you but I could see that happening a lot. But more importantly, I don't think that reflects who should have won that battle. There is a legitimate time to use blindfire. Now you might object, "why don't you just aim." Well, for one, moving while aiming is slow. The important part (as he has taken damage) is to close the gap between you and your opponent. He, once he sees you aiming, could run through the doorway and out of sight in time to regenerate his health. No, there is a correct time to use aggressive blindfire (almost always it is to "finish him").
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are similar problems with my own suggestion (I was kinda' hoping you guys might point those out ). But personally, I would much prefer my own to that.

Thanks! Yeah, that would be the best fix. But I don't think ND has the man power dedicated to UC3 to make that happen. It's quite possible mine is impossible at this point too.

Or you could run at 20% speed when you blindfire and no aimbot. Sounds good.
I see the whole purpose of blindfire as sacrificing accuracy for mobility. Slowing down blindfirers defeats the purpose of blindfire. Now, you may see that as a good thing but I see blindfire as a legitimate tactic. There is a proper time to use it, both offensively and defensively. I don't want to kill the blindfiring mechanic. But maybe more realistically, I don't think ND wants to either.
As to the aimbot (or auto-lock, whatever it's called), I believe UDF had autolock blindfire and so have all of the following SP's and MP. I don't think it's going anywhere.

My phone buzzed several times on the drive to the beach at Sandy Hook, NJ, but it wasn't until I arrived that I listened to my voice mail and learned that a plane had crashed in New York City. At that point radio stations were still playing music, and no one really understood what had happened.
Over the next hour or so, I walked to the end of the New Jersey coast, and with a very small group of other folks, watched the Twin Towers come down. We didn't know it at the time, as we could see only huge columns of smoke and ash, but it was a chilling sight.
Without the facts of the story, I had no idea a terrorist attack had occurred, and I got in the ocean. But when I got out beyond the whitewater, alone and quiet, I became utterly overwhelmed with concern for friends and family. I took one wave, then headed for the beach and for home. My experience was later written up in Surfer Magazine, with a follow-up this past month.
Over the coming days, I maintained a list of members of the rowing community who had survived or been lost in the attacks. Just two days after the towers fell, I went back into New York City, where I had lived for over a decade, and ventured to what would soon be called Ground Zero to see for myself the carnage the attacks had wrought. I lasted about an hour; when veteran Marines on the scene started running for cover as small explosions went off, I knew it was time for me to get out of there.
Airport Security: Your Questions Answered
Security in an Insecure Time
The weekend after the attacks, I was sitting in an acoustically sealed studio for a live radio interview on National Public Radio with one other guest -- one of many post-9/11 interviews I did as a travel writer for this Web site. To close the show, the interviewer asked if we should expect more or similar attacks. The other guest strongly believed that we should, and in particular felt that our train system was next. For some reason I felt less alarmed and less worried; it seemed to me that the targets of the Twin Towers attack were dramatic and incredibly symbolic, and I simply did not think that we were going to start seeing attacks on trains to Hartford, CT, or casino buses to Atlantic City.
In truth, I was concerned but still somewhat calm about the dangers terrorism brought to our previously innocent shores, in a country that had not seen significant war-related bloodshed on our own soil for many decades. No matter how dramatic the attacks, and how absolutely real the sense of vulnerability, I wasn't sure we were in more danger than people living in Europe 60 years previously, a place such as Northern Ireland a couple decades before or even contemporary Central America. These cunningly evil attacks left a giant wound, and I certainly felt less safe, but somehow not more truly vulnerable -- maybe just more aware of the dangers of the 21st century, faced by many worldwide. And I credit our great country for the luxury of that feeling; 10 years on, the feeling has not abandoned me.
But the other speaker had a point that none of us could have realized at the time, long before the creation of the Homeland Security Department and the TSA. What we have done with our transit system since then is telling -- almost no one can get on a commercial plane with even a half-bottle of water, but absolutely anyone can get on a train/bus/boat, fly a private plane or drive a truck across a giant bridge with just about anything you can imagine on their person.
Even if you believe, as many do, that what we have at the airport is "security theater" rather than meaningful measures to keep us safe, it's hard to believe that no potential attacks were discouraged by the difficulty of getting into an airport terminal. So a miserable and chronically late short flight with 50 passengers is mostly safe from terrorists, but a packed Acela train is not. Ugh.
The Post-9/11 Effect on Travel: An Infographic
The Spirit of 9/11
This summer, I took 14 long-haul flights, both across the country and overseas. On my last flight of the summer, I saw the movie "Easy Rider." It's a strange movie, but certainly an American movie, and at the end the main character, thinking back on their trip across the country, says to his traveling buddy, "We blew it." He felt that they had an opportunity to realize some sort of transcendence from traversing their country, but instead they had focused on lucre, and failed to tap into the lessons the country had to offer.
In our own trip into the heart of the 21st century, we still have a chance not to blow it, if we remember the days after September 11, when many countries were ready to stand down from their tremendously expensive Olympics bid efforts and simply concede the 2012 Games to New York City, so that it might heal; when the reciprocal notion of "Ich bin en Berliner" -- the idea that the whole was with us, was one of us -- was something that people felt about America; when anyone would have extended a helping hand to us, the world's only remaining superpower.
Everyone has a 9/11 story; they know where they were, what they were doing, what they were thinking. Think back on your own story, back to that moment and what you felt at the time. Many Americans felt a strong sense of community, of country, of fellowship -- somehow we have forgotten those feelings. But how? At the time, it felt like they would never leave us.
As a frequent traveler and a travel writer, I have spent part of almost every day researching or thinking or writing about some aspect of the fallout of those attacks. Somehow, the sense that we were all in it together has gone missing; if we work hard enough to capture the quicksilver sense of things we had in those difficult days, we can recover that sense of community, of being together, of pride in who we are and how we treat people. If you remembered to hold your loved ones a little bit closer, let's remember those things. If on that day, you lived not so much in fear, but in empathy and sympathy for your countrymen, let's remember those things. In the hardest times, every great nation has rallied to help each other, not to attack each other. Let's allow that to be the spirit of 9/11, not fear, hate and terror.
Five Things You Shouldn't Wear on a Plane
The New Normal?
Over the past 10 years, the phrase "the New Normal" has arisen to describe any number of things that have changed permanently since 9/11, especially the travel experience. The New Normal involves zip-top bags for liquids, the removal of shoes and belts, long lines, suspicious looks from security personnel, and ever-changing rules that are urgent one day, are rescinded the next and seem almost silly a year on. In fact, for my young son, who is now 5 years old and has 66,000 frequent flier miles, this is normal, end stop. It's not a big deal -- but maybe it should be.
When we congregate at the airport now, we often feel angry, put upon and miserable, due in no small part to our government's reaction to the events of 9/11. Old folks are getting manhandled, people with mental illness are getting tasered and the rest of us aren't treated so darn well, admit it. I know it is hard work to screen the heaps of people who go through airports on any given day, but we still must do better. It is our role and duty as citizens to keep the pressure on our elected officials and their hired forces to continue to keep us safe without crippling our system while they do so, without casting aside people with disabilities or those who are different, without turning our land of opportunity into a place of fear and intimidation.
On Labor Day 2011, arriving at customs at Newark Airport, I got into a line of what I estimated to include well over 1,000 people, all waiting to get into our country. Perhaps due to holiday staffing, there were only 10 or 12 customs agents in the booths greeting these huddled masses sneaking text messages to their waiting families on their cell phones (which are banned in customs areas). It occurred to me that that room looked a whole lot like what it must have looked like at Ellis Island during the great waves of immigration. I have no illusions that the environment at Ellis Island was a comfortable one. People arrived sick and even dying, had the spelling of their names changed, or were simply given new names, almost eradicating family histories. Some people weren't supposed to be there and were sneaking their way into the country, much as we see today.
All these years on, it is fair to hope that these locations where people touch down in our country might be places in which we take pride, where our best people and spirit can be found, places that show the potential and nature of our people. We are clearly not there just now. Despite all my faults and those of our union, I consider myself a patriotic American, and that demands a sense of duty not only to protect each other, but also to keep from turning on each other when a bad guy stirs things up.

Moving Forward
This past year, this column won an award for an essay titled What's Wrong with Airport Security (and What to Do About It). Although I later had to reconsider parts of my stance on full body scanners (due to inaccuracies shared by the TSA at the time about radiation levels and other issues), I hope that articles like this give voice to folks who will hold us all to higher standards both of security for everyone and safety for individuals.
When reading (and writing) about travel, sometimes it feels like travel is all nuts and bolts -- passports and shoes, fare searches and car rental bidding. In truth, it's not even close. Nonetheless, for my part, I will keep placing calls to the TSA asking about new policies, and will report them back to you. I will keep trying to find ways for us all to remain global citizens, and to get out and see our own incredible country. And as always, as I did on 14 flights this summer between our benchmark holidays of Memorial Day, when we honor and remember the people who defend our country, and Labor Day, when we honor and remember the people who live and work here, I will refuse to live in fear. I'll dump my water and take off my shoes until together we figure out a better way. And above all, I'll ...

ATR Launches Campaign Against Seminole County "Penny Tax"
County Commissioners in Seminole County, Florida are asking taxpayers to fork over more money to pay for special projects after a series of "temporary" sales tax increases expired in 2012. County commissioners at the time decided not to renew the 10-year sales tax increase because they had at least $40 million in reserves.
After spending nearly all of it, they're asking voters to approve a measure on the May 20 special election ballot that would raise the sales tax to 7 cents on the dollar for another 10 years, yielding more than $630 million in higher taxes for the county to spend. Americans for Tax Reform opposes the massive tax hike and has launched a campaign to educate voters about where their money is going and convince them to reject the "Penny Tax."
A recording of the first call to registered voters can be heard here.
"Hi, this is Linda Adams from Americans for Tax Reform calling to alert you to a tax increase on the May 20th ballot in Seminole County. The "Penny Tax" is a massive $631 million sales tax increase. County Commissioners took millions from the last tax increase meant for roads and spent it on the federal SunRail train project. They can't be trusted to spend your money the right way. If you're sick of getting nickel and dimed, vote AGAINST the Penny Tax. This call was paid for by Americans for Tax Reform."
The two 10-year sales tax increases that ran back to back took hundreds of millions of dollars from Seminole County taxpayers to fund a number of special interest projects. The first tax increase from 1991-2001 redirected $46 million for the federal train project known as SunRail, $36 million of which was spent between 2011-2013, according to an analysis of SunRail contributions remitted to FDOT from the county. That tax increase was designed to improve roads and safety but some was spent on SunRail, which was neither.
Voters and taxpayers alike should be suspicious about what County Commissioners claim their tax dollars are being spent on. An audit report released Tuesday shoes that Seminole County had a balance of more than $210 million as of last September. As the Orlando Sentinel notes, "county officials say that money already is set aside for projects." Voters should demand more transparency than a promise that $210 million in funds is already dedicated to projects.
Don't get nickel and dimed, vote against the Seminole County "Penny Tax."

I am Hymne, and I play on the Snowbourn EU server. I have been playing Lord of the Rings Online since EU beta and have a lifetime subscription. Though Lotro for most players is about gear, for me Lotro is about outfits. Whenever I loot items, receive them as quest rewards, find them on the auction house or barter them after doing an instance, I check its appearance with the preview feature (ctrl+leftclick). For me it's all about the looks, not about the stats. Most players would probably think I am crazy, and playing Lotro the wrong way.
Usually blogging is all about writing clever walls of text or funny bits of odd information. My blog however, is about pretty pictures. In real life, I am a collector of miniatures. I make little "scenes" and "displays". I have a beautiful collection of fantasy sculptures (I own a good chunck of the Hap Henriksen Wizards collection), and I also have a semi neglected dollhouse that needs fixing up with an infinite amount of miniatures to fill it. Another one of my passions is scouring for vintage clothes, bags and accessories. I do buy new clothes of course, but my real passion is rummaging through massive amount of second hand clothes and come home with an outfit that looks special. I tell you this about myself to give you some context about what drives me to be so passionate about outfitting and this blog. Actually what I am doing in the virtual world are the same things I also do in real life: I combine loose ends into outfits and I display them in little miniature scenes.
In Lotro I currently have 17 characters from all classes and races. My highest levels are an elf minstrel, man champion, woman loremaster and hobbit burglar. All the others are somewhere between level 15 and 65, but because of the wardrobe feature, I can share outfits with all of them.
I hope you enjoy the blog!

My hives are in the woods in the foothill of California and there are bears. We put up an electric fence with a solar fence charger and it has worked great. We hung four strings of tape. I used plastic fence posts and in all it took us less than an hour to put it up.Good luck.
Find a free coon dog, preferably a trash runner (you can find these dogs very cheap or free), and chain it up. It'll bark at anything and keep the animals at bay.
Sean, that looks like a really nice apiary, good for you, how much bigger is it now? Curious.
When animals get shocked and their eyes are outside the wire enclosure (for example, they are shocked on the nose) they will recoil and back away from the fence. However, when their eyes are within the wire enclosure (for example, they are shocked on the shoulder) they will charge on through the fence.This way even if an animal jumps through the fence they will receive a shock.

Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23 - Season 1 Episodes
When June moves to Manhattan for a dream job, a startling series of unexpected events leaves her in debt and out on the streets. Her luck seems to change when she lands a job at a coffee shop and moves in with her deceivingly charming new roommate, Chloe. Chloe soon swindles June out of her life savings but she and her snarky friend, James Van Der Beek, learn that just because June's naïve, she isn't stupid.
"Daddy's Girl"
Dating is awkward enough, but when you add Chloe into the mix, it grows tenfold, which June learns the hard way when she begrudgingly allows Chloe to set her up. Meanwhile, James decides to teach an acting class but can't seem to escape his Dawson persona.
"The Parent Trap"
Type-A June is operating at her highest potential when she lands a demanding internship, juggles two jobs and adds on more responsibilities. But she meets her match when she's tasked with cleaning up one of Chloe's incredibly irresponsible, half-baked ideas. Meanwhile, James is psyched to have landed a classic body-swap movie, co-starring the talented Kiernan Shipka, and dives head first into the research.
"The Wedding"
June is devastated when she receives a wedding invitation addressed to her and her ex-fiancé, so in an attempt make her feel better, Chloe gives June a crash course in confidence and fierceness, but does too good a job.
"Making Rent"
June struggles to make ends meet and comes up with a creative way to make some extra cash for this month's rent. She decides to mass produce and sell her homemade jam, but when Chloe gets in on the action, she takes it to a whole new level. Meanwhile, James launches his own line of super skinny jeans called none other than "Beek Jeans."
"It's Just Sex"
Chloe takes it upon herself to teach June to be sexually empowered and to dabble in some casual encounters. However Chloe's own sex life catches up to her, and to James, when their old sex tape leaks out to the public and James freaks out on how this will affect his likeability on "Dancing with the Stars."
"Shitagi Nash"
Finally feeling like one of the popular kids, June is desperate to keep pace with Chloe and her partying ways. It's not an easy task, especially when Chloe's "it girl" lifestyle is so legendary that there's even a whole Japanese comic book series based on it! Meanwhile, James loses it when he discovers that Dean Cain's "Dancing with the Stars" dressing room is bigger than his.

Although Voxer has been around for a year, it has gotten a lot of funding and more crucially, it has support at grassroot level with loads of non-techies using it already.The huge social success stories like this (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc.) always happen before the mainstream press see them coming and this is no different. It's a huge claim, but for me, Voxer will be the big success story in social media in 2013. You won't believe how good it is and it could be the final nail in the coffin for SMS.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjO_xtXid5M

okay..... maybe not 200 yards
This is a discussion on Tailed by an LEO within the Open Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; hahahahahahaha. *clears throat* I was walking out of a Home Depot today with a 12' long conduit pipe (that's not the funny part). There was ...
hahahahahahaha. *clears throat*
I was walking out of a Home Depot today with a 12' long conduit pipe (that's not the funny part).
There was a squad car parked on the curb near the door, which I must have walked with in 10 feet of. Well............ I guess they were bored cuz they followed me alllllll the way to my truck.
I swear, I felt like that 10 year old kid, with the rolling backpack, being followed home by the high-schoolers. They drove just behind me for a good 200 yards and parked in the space next to my truck til I finally pulled out to leave.
They never said anything... they never did anything. They just stalked me.
How weird!?
Yeah, I've gotten the circle the parking lot treatment. Kinda like the "Fly casual" scene in Star Wars. You're pretty sure whats going on, but they are trying to be sneaky. Well, not in your case.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun. And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son." Josh Thompson "Way Out Here"
I think that happened to me once at my local Wally World.
I had OC'd throughout my otherwise boring pick-up of stuff and things, then on my way out, a cruiser "flew casual" down the next lane of parked cars next to mine. I was parked near the end (an old habit for the sake of exercise that incidentally drives my Wife insane) and they crept around my car. I simply stopped, readied myself for the Q and A portion of my day, and took mental inventory of my weapons and their placement for disclosure (duty to disclose).
As I looked right at them, they just kept on going. I wrote it off as coincidence or that I had "passed the test" by not running away(?).
Weird thing to have happen, huh?
I wonder what would have happened if I had just started to do the "Robot" right then and there or something as equally bizarre but legal...
Probably nothing good.
That which does not kill us leaves us broken and bleeding...
Dont mess with the guy who can barely stand up. His remaining options for self-defense don't include your survival.

And this is funny why?
You are carrying a gun. This is not the old west. It will take a while for people to acclimate, yes even the cops. I was a cop for 10 years and am a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment and a persons right to open carry, but I would then and would still today give you a second, third and probably even a 4th look. Just because you know you are a good guy does not mean everyone else does.
This is another reason I choose to CC. I don't feel like being gawked at and followed around by "The Man".

Perhaps it was all just a coincidence though and that LEO is posting somewhere else how happy he was to see someone exercising their rights.

That's what's funny.
Magazine <> clip - know the difference
martyr is a fancy name for crappy fighter
You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
It continues to amaze that people who choose to OC are shocked when the gun on their hip brings attention to them, particularly from the law. Get used to it aready, because until the majority of the public is carrying openly and it becomes common place, that's how it's going to be.
In the mean time, if you choose to exercise your right to OC where legal, great, more power to you. However, expect to be noticed, expect increased attention and scrutiny, because your going to get it. And don't complain about it, because you're inviting it.

conduit, emt, or rigid, only comes in 10' lengths.
I dont think the OP was complaining, just sharing a story on how he felt. OC is legal in some places and whats legal is, well, legal. The excuse that it is not common is not an excuse to me. I am expected to know the laws and I expect to be left alone while following those laws. If the Police dont like the law they have the same rights as I do to head to the polls and vote for the candidate of their choice.
Edit** Do I get to choose what laws I follow? This new no talking on the cell phone while driving law, its new, perhaps Im not "acclimated" to it yet. Does this get me out of the ticket?

As far as the cops not liking the law, keeping an eye on someone armed in public has nothing to do with not liking a particular law. They have an obligation to the public at large, giving some extra scrutiny by watching the OP walk to his car after noticing his weapon is well within the scope of that obligation and not a violation of any of the OP's rights.
ETA: As I said before, anyone's choice to legally OC is fine by me. My point is that, in this day and age, for anyone to be surprised that the gun gets them noticed in a largely unarmed society is ridiculous.

Today's Devotional
Together ForeverWho are the people close to you who don't yet know Jesus?
Top Music Videos
Arrogance and Ingratitude
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship Him as God or even give Him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like (Romans 1:21).
Fabiola Gianotti led one of two teams that discovered the Higgs boson, the most exciting feat of modern physics. Her team used a $10 billion particle accelerator to crash protons into each other at nearly the speed of light. When they sifted through the microscopic debris, they found evidence of an energy field, which apparently permeates the universe. As other forms of energy pass through this "Higgs field," much like an airplane pushes through a stiff headwind, the Higgs bosons attach themselves to these particles of energy and give them mass. And that's how every physical thing gets its body.
I wonder if targeting the Higgs bosons that attach to my energy might be an easy way to lose weight, but—more importantly—I marvel at what this discovery reveals about the mystery of God's world. Who would have guessed that these infinitesimal and energetic bosons are responsible for giving mass to the universe? What will we discover next?
The science world is pretty excited. In fact, when Gianotti first saw the readouts proving the Higgs boson had been found, she jumped up and cried, "My God!" She regained her composure in time for the press conference, where she called out, "Thanks, nature!" And that's a tragedy. Paul declares that those who proudly refuse to thank God and acknowledge His reality become "dark and confused" and replace "the glorious, ever-living God" with "idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles" (Romans 1:21-23). If Paul were writing today, he might add "and microscopic bosons."
Gianotti is brilliant, but she refuses to acknowledge that God exists, and that she is made in His image. We become what we worship, and so it's sad, but fitting, that the physicist who ignores God concludes, "We are nothing but quarks and electrons and a lot of empty space." That's not who we are, thank God!
—Mike Wittmer
Read Psalm 135:15-18 to learn what idolatry does to us.
Why is ingratitude a sign of idolatry? What do you need to thank God for today?

This Palisono Diatonic Soprano Xylophone is crafted by Sonor at their factory in Germany using the finest materials and techniques. The result: sonically and physically superior xylophones.
Palisono Series xylophones feature Palisono bars made of a specially developed fiberglass material which has the sound characteristics of rosewood.
The bar material's uniform structure is superior to rosewood and does not readily absorb moisture, the usual cause of intonation problems. Palisono bars are heavier than rosewood and therefore rebound less when struck sharply. Diatonic instruments include extra keys for all F#s, Bbs, and a pair of mallets. Note range: C2 to A3.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

From what I understand, the RN-171 cannot switch software antenna configuration; however, the the external antenna is set/wired by default .
What version of the board are you selling? The picture shows 3.0 and the manual is for 4.0. Atlas Scientific is currently selling 5.0.
This thing is awesome, just got here and I'm already playing Tetris. The icons I asked about above are not present on the one I received.

BTW, don't use Fedex Express Saver: From Boulder to Denver to Oakland to Phoenix; why not just Denver to Phoenix and save 1300 extra miles?
Trivial, but are the dedicated home, mail, contacts, phone, and audio icons on this model as they are in the datasheet and on the companies website? Or is this a variant? Hard to tell from the images above. Thanks in advance.
That's awesome. Very clever. I might have to copy this for next year. At first I thought the noise would give it away, but I bet it could add to the creepy effect at night.
No public wish lists :(

Common, Nipsey Hussle Team Up for 'Only the Brave' Campaign
Common is no stranger to the fashion world, revealing to The BoomBox this past June that he was interested in designing and producing accessories such as belts and ties. But the Chi-town native is taking it one step at a time. The emcee has recently announced that he is partnering with Diesel to promote the label's Only the Brave fragrance campaign, intended to highlight future faces in hip-hop.
Common joins up-and-comers Nipsey Hussle, Vado, Donnis and Big Sean for the campaign, which will see the rappers appearing in a 'Diesel Presents … Only the Brave' video series that reflects on each of the rappers' histories in a style similar to VH1's documentary show 'Behind the Music.' The videos will focus on each rapper explaining how they became who they are, as well as highlight the people that helped shape each emcee along the way.
The video series is set to kick off in late August, culminating in a free VIP concert in New York City on October 12 where all five emcees will grace the stage. The show will be filmed with the intention to later air the live performances on MTV2. In anticipation of the campaign kicking off, fans can check on Diesel's site for further information.

The New Balance logo will be added to Team Garmin-Sharp's kit and New Balance will become the exclusive off bike athletic footwear and clothing sponsor starting with the 2014 season.
Since 2011 New Balance has been the official off-bike athletic shoe for Team Garmin-Sharp, New Balance will now provide casual apparel to the team including polo shirts, track suits, t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts for various off bike activities.
"New Balance and Team Garmin-Sharp continue to share the same drive and passion that initially brought our brands together," said Rob DeMartini, New Balance President and CEO. "As one of pro cycling's most talented and talked about teams this year we are thrilled to build on our already successful relationship with Team Garmin-Sharp."
New Balance recently shot video footage at the team's pre-season training camp in Colorado where Team New Balance runners Jenny Simpson, Emma Coburn and Anton Krupicka took Team Garmin-Sharp riders, including Tyler Farrar and Alex Howes, out for a six mile training run. "This video shows world class runners and riders coming together to train, and is an excellent reflection of the expansion of the New Balance ethos across multiple sports," says DeMartini.
"New Balance has been an outstanding partner for us, and its drive for excellence continually mirrors our own," said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO, Slipstream Sports and Team Garmin-Sharp. "We were humbled by the success of the custom argyle 890 running shoe last year, and this year we will work New Balance to create off-bike clothing that riders and fans can both experience. We are thrilled to continue to partner with New Balance in this expanded sponsorship."
New Balance will once again release a limited edition Team Garmin-Sharp 890 running shoe, drawing inspiration from the team's unique argyle kit. The limited edition Team Garmin-Sharp 890v4 will launch globally in June at New Balance retail stores.
New Balance will also have a visible marketing presence at key races in the U.S., particularly in California and Colorado, as well as races in Europe and Asia Pacific.

Subscribers can now see highlights from Arsenal's resounding Premier Academy League victory over Birmingham.
It took Chuks Aneke only five minutes to hand the Gunners the lead with a fierce 20-yard strike.
Birmingham levelled from the spot after Charlie Mann brought down Omar Bogle in the box three minutes later. The striker dusted himself down to dispatch his strike low into Mann's net.
Birmingham took the lead through Josh Hawker's towering header four minutes after the break but Zak Ansah slotted his first of the clash on the hour-mark.
The youngster bagged his second five minutes later before Benik Afobe grabbed a fourth 15 minutes from time.

Certain states and agencies maintain programs that allow you to purchase certificates or make contributions to an account to pay for future education. Contributions to a qualified state tuition program are not tax deductible (the bad news), but withdrawals used to pay for qualified education expenses will only be taxable to the extent they are more than the amounts originally contributed to the program. So, while you will eventually pay taxes on the earnings, all of the earnings will be tax-deferred until they are used for qualified education expenses.
Example: Jack and Jill enrolled in a qualified state tuition program to fund their daughter's college education. Over the last 10 years, Jack and Jill invested $5,000 per year into the program. Over the years, their investments have earned $40,000. There is now $90,000 in the account: $50,000 from the contributions and $40,000 from the earnings. Because Jack and Jill used a qualified state tuition program, none of the $40,000 in earnings has been subjected to income taxes. It was all tax-deferred.
Assume now that Jack and Jill pay $90,000 for their daughter's qualified education expenses. The tax issues are that $50,000 will not be taxed whatsoever (because it is simply a return of their original contributions), and they will pay tax on the $40,000 in previously tax-deferred earnings on the account.
You may be thinking that this is no big deal, since taxes will have to be paid on the earnings eventually. True enough, but it is STILL a big deal. Since the earnings are tax-deferred, they will grow much faster than they would if they were subject to taxes on income and capital gains on an annual basis. And, not only that, Jack and Jill may be able to manipulate their income and deductions in such a way that they may pay less than their normal tax rate in the year(s) that the qualified education expenses are paid. So, this has the potential of being a VERY big deal.
Like an Education IRA, a qualified state tuition program will allow a rollover to another family member if the original beneficiary is unable (or unwilling) to use the funds for qualified expenses. But, unlike the Education IRA, there is no limit to the amount of contributions that can be made to the tuition program in any given year (but be careful about the $10,000 annual gift exclusion). And, even better, there are no adjusted gross income (AGI) phase-out limitations associated with qualified state tuition programs. This will allow many "high-income" taxpayers, who may be shut out of other tax breaks, to participate in this program.
State tuition programs are hot! Smokin'! They have become so popular that many investment firms (such as Fidelity Investments) are offering specific investment programs that will allow you to make contributions to the fund that will qualify as state tuition program contributions... regardless of your actual state of residency. They are commonly called "Section 529" programs (for the IRS code section that sets out the rules regarding the qualified state tuition program). So, check with your favorite brokerage or investment firm for additional information on the plans that might be available to you.
For more information on a specific state tuition program, contact your local state agency that established and maintains the program. In addition, you may want to read more about qualified state tuition programs in IRS Publication 970 at the IRS website.

SANTA CRUZ >> It's always a dry summer here in California, but this year is particularly challenging with local water restrictions in effect after record-setting winter drought. Fortunately, even in dry years, there are edibles to be found in our gardens and fallow places that can add flavor and interest to any meal.
Hardy and drought-tolerant edibles generally fall into several categories: sturdy herbs, edible "weeds" and unfussy fruit. They may be annuals, perennials or trees, but they share the ability to provide flavor with very little water.
Sturdy herbs
Many of the classic herbs we know from European cuisine are well-established as landscaping plants in the West. Herbs from the Mediterranean area, in particular, share our no-summer-water climate and take long drought periods with little notice. Rosemary is the most well-known and ubiquitous. (Note; If you have rosemary but have been irrigating it, just stop.)
Of the "Scarborough Faire" quartet of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, just forget about the parsley for this year, as it needs much more water. Instead, utilize the remaining trio, which are drought-tolerant and delicious. Other favorites are marjoram, oregano and the pretty South African native Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea); all are low-water plants that can add wonderful flavor in the kitchen.
California native plants that might fall into this category are native sages and mints like the low-water, shade-tolerant Yerba Buena (Clinopodium douglasii aka Satureja douglasii). Try your favorite combination chopped fine and added to a hunk of goat cheese. Served warm or cold with olive oil and some crusty bread.
Is that a weed?
Often cursed or overlooked are many "weeds" that have an edible component. As has been said before, a weed is just a plant that's out of place, so these are often species from other parts of the world that have made themselves at home here, whether we like it or not. Some have been accidentally introduced and some have found our gardens or natural areas so much to their liking that they have "escaped" from purposeful cultivation.
Some sorrels (Rumex sp. and Oxalis sp.), wild mustard (Synapis sp. or Brassica sp.) and common purslane (Portulaca oleracea) fall into this category. Probably my favorite weed is the "wild" radish (Raphanus raphanistrum or R. sativum). This weedy plant can invade wild lands and agricultural fields but has pretty flowers that go well in salads and crunchy young seed pods I think are the tastiest part. It seems to me that eating weeds is almost a public service.
I would also include garden plants that are past their prime as part of a weedy category. Heat and lack of water will cause many vegetables to "bolt" (send up stalks of flowers) in an effort to complete their life cycle and set seeds for the coming year. This often makes the leaves (or roots) too bitter to eat and traditional gardeners usually pull them out, to keep things neat, at this gangly stage. But tender leaves can sometimes still be found on the upper part of the stalks, and even when the leaves are done, the buds and flowers often are edible, usually with a milder version of the taste of the leaves for which they were originally grown. Bolted brassicas and kales, in particular, have lovely flowers that remain edible for long periods of time.
The yellow-flowered perennial Wild Arugula (Diplotaxis muralis) is another favorite, that can become a zealous spreader due to its ability to weather a rainless summer but whose peppery flowers can be eaten long past the "tender-leaf" stage. Try any of the tasty flowers in a salad or snip strongly flavored leaves into a creamy dressing. For bolted kales, saut? the tender flower buds and stem ends with a little butter and salt like you would small sprouts of broccoli.
Fruit trees
Anyone lucky enough to live on or near an old farm probably knows some of the types of fruit that don't need regular care or water to survive. These may be fruits from dry parts of the world, like pomegranates, figs or mulberries. But often they are fruits that do like a lot of water but can survive with less. Many apples and plums fall into this category and keep on quietly producing, for the birds and squirrels, on old properties, long after someone has stopped caring for them.
The "wild plum" or "cherry plum" that can be found in many parts of the county is either the Western native (Prunus subcordata) or the remains of the rootstock of old orchard plants (Prunus Americana), whose upper grafted part has long-since died but the hardier rooted species carries on. The small fruits are devoured by birds, who can spread new seedlings far from the original plant. Some ornamental plum trees, like the purple-leaved varieties, also produce small fruit, when there is a pollinizer available, although the tastiness of the fruit varies wildly from tree to tree.
Other adaptable fruit includes persimmons, citrus, grapes, walnuts and many berries. Gooseberries (Ribes sp.) and huckleberries (Vaccinium sp.) are a couple of our native plants that produce useful fruit, with little water, as well.
We have a native blackberry, that is beautiful and edible but much more common is the invasive Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), which is quite vigorous and is usually found in vacant fields and roadsides. Not only can the berries be used but the leaves can be steeped to make a tea or, when they are very tender in the spring, steamed as a vegetable if you remove the thorns.
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is another native plant with multiple uses, but only the flowers or the blue/black berries are edible and it requires additional caution as the berries must be used fully ripe and cooked before ingesting, as many people have a bad reaction otherwise.

Buying a house can feel like diving off the deep end of a swimming pool.
That's why the Maine Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection has come out with a new guide.
As Joy Hollowell tells us, it helps those looking to buy as well as keep their dream home.
"Owning a home is really the single biggest way to build wealth."
Angelia Levesque is the President of the Maine Association of Realtors. She's been a realtor for 10 years, working in the market before, during and after the housing crisis.
"I think what we have now is a really healthy market in that we're not going to see those high highs that we had," says Levesque. "We're seeing the first time home buyers the last couple of years, come back again."
Keeping those buyers in their homes is the reason for a new booklet put out by the Maine Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection. It's called the Downeaster Common Sense Guide to Finding, Buying and Keeping Your Maine Home.
"We're a consumer protection agency, and we want anybody that's using credit to purchase something, be it a home, be it a car, be it whatever, to make the right credit decisions," says David Leach, principle examiner for the state of Maine Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection. "It helps Maine's economy."
The guide covers everything- from figuring out if you should rent or own a home, to preparing for the possibility of foreclosure.
"I would probably close to 100% of the people that were renters that decided to jump in and test the waters by buying a house and ended up in foreclosure," says Leach. "Probably 100% or 99 point whatever percent, wished they had stayed in their rent."
The booklet also talks about rounding up your mortgage payments to bring down your principle faster. And, bi-weekly versus monthly bills.
"A house is where you live, it's not who you are," says Leach. "And the single most important thing for a family is to be able to afford that place where they live."
"Homeowners are proven to build communities," adds Levesque. "They get involved, they coach the Little League, they run for council, and all that. So it's just a great investment in the future."
The Downeaster Common Sense Guide to finding, buying and keeping your Maine home is free.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I received an email from Vistaprint back in Sept. 2008 to purchase an rubber address stamp which I did for a total of $5.45 and received it. My credit card statement for Nov. 2008 reflected the $5.45 purchase from Vistaprint.com.
I did not purchase another item from them until Oct. 14, 2009 for $9.66 but my credit card was billed 11/21/08 for $14.95, 12/21/2008 for $14.95, 1/21/2009 for $14.95, 2/20/2009 for $14.95, 3/23.2009 for $14.95, 4/21/2009 for $14.95, 5/21/2009 for $14.95, 6/21/2009 for $14.95, 7/20/2009 for $14.95, 8/19/2009 for $14.95, 9/18/2009 for $14.95, 10/22/2009 for $17.95, 11/21/2009 for $17.95, 12/21/2009 for $17.95, 1/20/2010 for $17.95, 2/19/2010 for $17.95 and 3/20/2010 for$17.95.
So to make a long story short I have been fraudulently overcharged $ 257.04, also the name of Vistaprint that has appeared on my statements has changed to similar but different names at least 5 times in the last 17 to 18 months.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I Quilt, I Nap, I Quilt Some More ... Aaaaah, The Good Life!
I also have an eddres you can use if you need to contact me with questions or suggestions that relate to our community: email@example.com
I like how all of you think!!!!
Thanks for the 'words of inspiration' this morning!
I loved reading your post this AM. I have also learned those patterns labeles as "easy" doesn't mean I won't make a beginners mistake.
Many years ago I purchased a magnificent quilt done by the Mennonites from a community here in Ontario & I was told that they purposely put in a mistake because "only God is perfect" & that works for me too.If people want perfect then buy plastic, wood is wood because it has character & so do quilts. My quilts have lots of character but made with LOTS of LOVE.
Dance like no one is watching
Patience, patience, and more patience.
If something is bugging you, go walk away or put it away for a couple of days. An AHA moment can strike at any time.

Part of the ultra-expensive Prestige line, this is a lovely and refreshing body creme. The texture is light and easily absorbed, with a pretty fragrance. It contains flower nectar, like the rest of the Prestige products, which tightens and refines the skin texture. The packaging is gorgeous- a pale antique gold lid on a glass jar- but all in all, this just isn't worth the AU$255 price tag.

Can we all just take a deep breath? I'm speaking to many Democratic voters as well as the bulk of the mainstream media here, just to clarify. Because far too many seem to currently be going off the deep end. But from where I sit, this is an overreaction to a very short-term situation.
Read Whole Story
Republicans, of course, do the whole fear thing very well. Democrats cannot hope to ever stoke the public's fear as effectively as Republicans. But this week it was on display more than usual, because there are still 14 Republicans running for their party's presidential nomination.
Kathy Reichs is a forensic anthropologist and a professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She's the author of the bestselling series featuring Temperance Brennan, who is also a forensic anthropologist. Kathy's the producer of the hit TV series Bones.
One of my favorite definitions of humility is "being open to the possibility that things are other than the way I think them to be." In this sense, it is one of the absolute keys to change and an essential quality on the path to transformation.
Remember when you first heard "Roxanne"? I do. I was a child in a record store without a clue about the song's theme. Not sure I could've identified reggae, let alone purloined reggae. But I well recall my impression.
Today I'm reviewing a process. Namely, the process involved with signing up for health care under the ACA.
It's all becoming clear now. House Republicans are just really big fans of Douglas Adams -- that's been their plan all along.
