Thanks, but I wish Will would have never approached me about making a 9mm AK.
I didn't know the first damn thing about AK's when I started, let alone a 9mm version and now I know more than I ever wanted too.
I understand everything you have done to this weapon, but still a little confused about mag? Are you using a adapter of some sort?

BeschreibungManufacture of components from powders frequently requires a compaction step. Modelling of Powder Die Compaction presents a number of case studies that have been developed to test compaction models. It will be bought by researchers involved in developing models of powder compaction as well as by those working in industry, either using powder compaction to make products or using products made by powder compaction.

PortraitThe editors worked together as part of a European networking project aimed at improving powder die compaction using compaction simulation. Peter Brewin co-ordinated the network; while Olivier Coube, Pierre Doremus and James Tweed led the activities of: simulation of powder compaction; generation of input data for powder compaction models; and the generation of case studies and data to test compaction models.
Peter Brewin is technical coordinator of Dienet Thematic Network and Technical Director of the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA). His background is ialloy steel manufacturing including liquid phase sintering.
Olivier Coube is a R&D mechanical engineer (Ph.D.) with over 10 years of experience in the field of the powder forming process (pressing, sintering and sizing) utilising mathematical modelling and numerical simulation to solve product development issues. From 1998 to 2004, he led numerous applied research projects for industrial and government contractors at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Mechanics of Materials. Since July 2004 he has been working at Plansee AG as an expert in Numerical Simulation.
Pierre Doremus has worked in Laboratory 3S of the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble for 25 years. His research activities are essentially devoted to powder compaction. He has been the supervisor of several Ph.D.s which provided him with the idea of developing academic experimental installations for studying powder densification. This work has always been in relation to the industry or national and European programmes. This has led to many publications in scientific journals and conferences.
James Tweed has worked for AEA Technology on a broad range of topics related to the manufacture and performance of materials. Recently he has led work with the Universities of Leicester and Swansea on developing test methods relevant to the manufacture of components by die compaction. This includes assessment of powders and the way they flow and fill dies, as well as their behaviour during compaction and ejection. This work has also identified methods for assessing the density distribution in powder compacts.

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) She's as much an emblem — and a tourist draw — as tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread.
And now Nessie's back.
An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland's most mysterious lake.
VIDEO: Monster reemerges in video
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45-feet long, moving fairly fast in the water," said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video this past Saturday.
He said it moved at about 6 mph and kept a fairly straight course.
"My initial thought is it could be a very big eel, they have serpent-like features and they may explain all the sightings in Loch Ness over the years."
Loch Ness is surrounded by myth and mystery, as it is the largest and deepest inland expanse of water in Britain. About 750 feet to the bottom, it's even deeper than the North Sea.
Nessie watcher and marine biologist Adrian Shine of the Loch Ness 2000 center in Drumnadrochit, on the shores of the lake, viewed the video and hopes to properly analyze it in the coming months.
"I see myself as a skeptical interpreter of what happens in the loch, but I do keep an open mind about these things and there is no doubt this is some of the best footage I have seen," Shine said.
He said the video is particularly useful because Holmes panned back to get the background shore into the shot. That means it was less likely to be a fake and provided geographical bearings allowing one to calculate how big the creature was and how fast it was traveling.
While many sightings can be attributed to a drop of the local whisky, legends of Scottish monsters date back to one of the founders of the Christian church in Scotland, St. Columba, who wrote of them in about 565 A.D.
More recently, there have been more than 4,000 purported Nessie sightings since she was first caught on camera by a surgeon on vacation in the 1930s.
Since then, the faithful have speculated whether it is a completely unknown species, a sturgeon — even though they have not been native to Scotland's waters for many years — or even a last surviving dinosaur.
Shine doubts that last explanation.
"There are a number of possible explanations to the sightings in the loch. It could be some biological creature, it could just be the waves of the loch or it could some psychological phenomenon in as much as we see what we want to see," he said.
But Nessie isn't just an icon of the paranormal — she's also an emblem of Scottish tourism. She has been the muse for cuddly toys and immortalized on T-shirts and posters showing her classic three-humped image.
The Scottish media is skeptical of Nessie stories but Holmes' footage is of such good quality that even the normally reticent BBC Scotland aired the video on its main news program on Tuesday.

Your quilts are great and nice to recycle.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Your quilts are great and nice to recycle.
Are you the clever one. They are great quilts. These quilts look usable and not ones to just look at and I like that.
Beautiful quilts. I would have never thought of looking thru the shirts for fabrics. Lol, you should have seen the looks I got when I was closely studying one of the wedding dresses at the local resale shop. I know they were wondering why I would be looking at THAT, lol. Because it was beautiful, large, and had a full train of gorgeous fabric....but I did pass.
Who knew that shirts could turn out like this? I sure didn't. They are just great and I applaud your genius. Way to go!
You are a lady after my heart. I simply love scrap quilt. I was recently reciepent of some large dresses to recycle. They yield a lot in scraps. Then I was given some scrub sets to cut. Beautiful material. Hey let the thirties roll again!
love them allOriginally Posted by PaperPrincess
I like your idea. thank you for sharing :)
What a great idea wonderful quilts!

Girl Scout Troop Pathway
Everything's more fun with a friend! Meet regularly with other girls and share amazing experiences! Make a difference in your community and the world. Plus, have lots of fun!
What's the Troop Pathway?
The troop pathway offers the same group of girls the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities throughout the year. Troops are traditionally the way most girls participate in Girl Scouts. When girls register, they are assigned to troops by age level and school. These troops are led by trained troop leaders.
As part of a troop you learn how to work as a team and discover that each person has something unique to contribute to every project, goal, activity or outing. Troops coordinate many of their own activities but may also participate in council-wide programs. Girls in troops can also participate in other Girl Scout programs and events in addition to their troops.
Troops often meet once a week or every other week after school, but meeting times, locations and frequency are really dependent on what works best for the girls and their advisors. Special projects and events may also occur on various evenings and weekends.
Who Can Participate?
Any registered Girl Scout can become a member of a troop. Contact any GSMISTS Service Center @ 866.566.7434 to learn how to find a troop near you. Not registered yet? Learn how to become a Girl Scout today!

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the forced removal of a female passenger from her bus seat by an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man on a public bus during a cabinet meeting, stating that Israel "must protect its public space, and maintain its openness and safety for all citizens."
Netanyahu openly denounced the exclusion of women from the public space, adding that the country must not allow fringe groups to break up "all that we have in common."
Netanyahu's condemnation came one day after Tanya Rosenblit was told by an ultra-Orthodox male passenger to move to the back of the bus. The man held the door of the bus open and would not allow it to move for approximately 30 minutes.
Opposition leader Tzipi Livni (Kadima) phoned Rosenblit in wake of the incident, praising her action for sending a strong message that "respects Judaism, yet is not willing to accept the anti-democratic radicalization which excludes women."

Copyright © 2015 Blooming and Grooming
Welcome to Blooming and Grooming! Here's how Blooming and Grooming began its humble beginning...
As the youngest of six children, I was often told to "go out and play" and I didn't have to worry about time unless my stomach told me it was time to go home and eat. This free time was a blessing in disguise as it spawned my interest and connection with the natural world and Mother Nature.
Since it was clear to see I had a love for the outdoors, I often begged my Mother to buy a new houseplant so I could nurture and care for it indoors and watch before my very eyes them flourish, and sometimes wilt or struggle for root space, but always hopeful they would continue to live with a little tender loving care and a word or two of praise and thankful they were my natural "clean air machines." As I grew older, I was often found attempting to add a little color and life to the base of a "back stoop" in our apartment building. My Father gave me my very first gardening book....(To be continued)
A childhood dream come true, please join me as a client of Blooming and Grooming's Gardening Services, as individually and collectively, we continue to bloom and groom in this beautiful world of ours!

|Phil Pressey makes first career start, leads Celtics to victory
|01.16.14 at 12:24 am ET
A few minutes into the third quarter, Phil Pressey jetted around a pick-and-roll, confidently rose for an 18-foot jump shot and connected. But before he could celebrate a whistle sounded: A Boston foul nullified Pressey's first points as a Celtic starter.
"I felt like that really was going to get me goin. When I finally hit one, it felt good," Pressey said with a smile after Wednesday night's game.
Pressey never scored those elusive first two points, but with Boston's 10-game losing streak snapped in the team's 88-83 win over the Raptors, he can now boast about his 1-0 record as a starting point guard in the NBA.
The undrafted rookie free agent's 0-for-5 shooting line and zero points were not indicative of the impact he made on the game. Pressey dished out a career-high 10 assists and did not commit a single turnover in 26 minutes of play — also a career-high.
"I thought he was absolutely terrific," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said.
Pressey liked the 10 dimes, but not as much as the zero turnovers.
"I know if I take care of the ball, I know I'm giving my team an opportunity to get more shots up. That's what I pride myself on," Pressey said.
The Celtics' thinness at the guard position necessitated Pressey's insertion into the lineup. (Starting point guard Jordan Crawford and reserve guard MarShon Brooks were dealt to the Warriors, Rajon Rondo is still out, and Keith Bogans indefinitely left the team for personal reasons).
Pressey said he was alerted of his promotion in shootaround. Yet the suddenness of the promotion was not alarming.
"The guys embraced me from the start, like I've been there from day one, so it was very easy for me to step in and help my team out," Pressey said.
Pressey started off slowly, but he helped spark a 6-0 run to end the half that put Boston ahead 45-41. With under one minute left, Pressey and Jared Sullinger executed a pick-and-roll that culminated with Sullinger canning a long running jumper. Pressey then pick-pocketed Toronto point guard Kyle Lowry and set off in transition where he found a trailing Avery Bradley with a smooth behind-the-back pass for an easy layup. Then Pressey collected a Raptors miss and alertly sent an outlet pass to Bradley, who had leaked ahead of the field. Bradley was fouled and made both free throws.
Pressey helped extend Boston's lead to 17 with three assists in the third quarter.
"I thought when things got tough, he got tough," Stevens said.
And things got tough in the fourth quarter. The Celtics blew their massive lead, and suddenly found themselves nursing a three-point advantage in the waning moments. But Pressey helped weather the storm and Boston eked out the win.
"To his credit, I thought he pulled guys in and together instead of when something doesn't go our way we're not together," Stevens said.
There's speculation that Rondo will return on Friday against the Lakers. But Boston hopes to ease Rondo back into action, and Pressey's strong outing suggests that he'll continue to see big minutes until Rondo's healthy.
|Celtics, for the last time: Phil Pressey
|10.29.13 at 6:53 pm ET
One of the most unpredictable Celtics seasons in recent memory begins Wednesday, and in order to determine the likelihood of each player reaching his full potential, we'll be examining them individually in this year's Green Street preview with one form of this question in mind: "When's the last time '¦ ?" Next up: Phil Pressey.
When's the last time an undrafted rookie point guard set the NBA world on fire?
The answer, quite simply, is Jeremy Lin, who transcended basketball and transformed into a global phenomenon during the Linsanity outbreak, and the odds of Philunacy recreating that magic are however-many-people-have-ever-played-basketball-to-1. Let's just agree Lin's an aberration and move on from there.
The list of undrafted college point guards who developed into productive NBA players is fairly extensive: Darrell Armstrong, Carlos Arroyo, J.J. Barea, Earl Barron, Earl Boykins, Troy Hudson, Mike James, Avery Johnson, Jannero Pargo and David Wesley, to name 10. And none of them produced as a rookie.
Their average line as rookies: A whopping 2.5 points (38.1 FG%, 25.2 3P%), 1.5 assists, 0.8 rebounds, 0.7 turnovers and 0.4 steals over 8.2 minutes in 26.3 games. What's the opposite of Linsanity?
Oh, yeah, it's Hansbr-awful. Last season, Ben Hansbrough made the Pacers out of training camp, averaged 2.0 points, 0.8 assists and 0.6 turnovers in 7.1 minutes over 28 appearances, and now plays in the Canary Islands.
Other than Lin, the only other exception to this rule is Chucky Atkins, who averaged 9.5 points and 3.7 assists over 19.8 minutes while appearing in all 82 games for a Magic team that finished .500 under Doc Rivers in 1999-2000. Both he and Pressey are listed at 5-foot-11. (So, you're telling me there's a chance?)
|Stat man: The Phil Pressey factor
|10.10.13 at 12:25 pm ET
Forget about Chris Babb, the Celtics' training camp invitee whose plus-20 rating in eight fourth-quarter minutes stole the show against the Knicks, because based on the current projected salary structure the C's can't sign him. As a result, the most impressive player on the roster Wednesday night was backup point guard Phil Pressey.
The son of former Celtics assistant coach Paul Pressey didn't even get on the Garden floor in Game 1 of the preseason, but sadly a death in Jordan Crawford's family opened the door for the Missouri product to get minutes behind Avery Bradley. And Pressey basically submitted a flawless performance in his first NBA appearance.
The former Waltham star's straight stat line — 13 points on five shots, seven assists against zero turnovers, three rebounds and two steals in 28:05 — is impressive in its own right, and it gets better the deeper you dive into it.
|Celtics announce signings of Phil Pressey, Vitor Faverani
|07.23.13 at 10:21 am ET
The Celtics on Monday confirmed the signings of guard Phil Pressey and Brazilian center Vitor Faverani.
Pressey, who played at Waltham High School and Cushing Academy when his father, Paul, was a Celtics assistant coach in the mid-2000s, was undrafted out of Missouri but played well for the Celtics' summer league team in Orlando this month. The 5-foot-11 Pressey averaged 9.4 points, 6.6 assists and 2.0 steals in 23 minutes per game over five games in Orlando. As a senior at Missouri, Pressey averaged 11.9 points, 7.1 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.9 minutes per game over 34 games and was named to the All-SEC first team.
Faverani, a 6-foot-11 center, averaged 9.3 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 55 percent in 17 minutes per game over 23 games for Valencia Basket of the Spanish ACB.
The signings puts the Celtics roster at 17. They also are over the salary cap and are expected to move some bodies in order to avoid paying the luxury tax again this season.
|Celtics wrap up Summer League with a win and a seventh-place finish
|07.12.13 at 6:39 pm ET
Behind 14 points from Tony Mitchell and 12 apiece from Kelly Olynyk and Colton Iverson, the Celtics raced out to a 29-point lead and blew out the host Orlando Magic, 102-83, on Friday afternoon to capture the seventh-place game in the the Orlando Summer League series at Amway Center.
Olynyk, Boston's first-round pick in this year's draft, finished the week averaging 18.0 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, finishing as one of the most impressive young players in the tournament that features first and second-year talent and rookie free agents.
The Celtics, who finished their week in central Florida at 3-2, were blazing hot in the first half, scoring 61 points in the 20-minute first-half. The Celtics connected on 57.1 percent of its field goals and 58.3 percent of their 3-pointers in the first half.
Leading the way in the first half was Lawrence Hill, with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting. He hit three of his five 3-point attempts in the half. Olynyk and Omar Reed also chipped in 10 points apiece in the first half while Boston left Orlando in the dust.
Boston pulled ahead by as many as 29 points early in the third after a 7-0 run to start the second half. That spurt was highlighted by a nice and-one hook shot by Fab Melo, who finished the game with 11 points and five rebounds in less than 18 minutes of action.
Orlando trimmed Boston's lead down to 81-69 with 7:47 remaining in the game. The Celtics, however, responded by scoring 14 of the game's next 18 points, building their lead back to 95-74 with three minutes left.
Seven Celtics scored in double-figures. Mitchell led the team with 14 points, while Olynyk and Iverson each poured in 12. Phil Pressey was the only Boston starter who failed to score at least 10 points finishing with seven but earned his second straight game of double-digit assists with 10.
|Kelly Olynyk, Phil Pressey lead Celtics past Pacers in summer league
|07.09.13 at 1:33 pm ET
First-round draft pick Kelly Olynyk continued his strong play in the NBA Summer League in Orlando, accumulating 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists Tuesday to lead the Celtics to a 76-74 victory over the Pacers.
Olynyk, who is averaging 19.7 points through three games for the 2-1 Celtics, hit 9-of-19 shots and was a plus-15 in almost 30 minutes of action. Tony Mitchell added 15 points for Boston. Phil Pressey had 11 points, five assists and three steals, and he hit two free throws with 10 seconds left for the winning points.
Solomon Hill led the Pacers with 15 points.
The Celtics led by 11 at the half but allowed Indiana to tie the game at 74 with 38 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Donald Sloan that capped a 9-0 run. On the Celtics' ensuing possession, Olynyk missed a hook shot in the paint.
Sloan then came up short on a drive as second-round pick Colton Iverson stepped in to cut off his path. Pressey, the son of former Celtics assistant coach Paul Pressey, grabbed the rebound and was fouled in the backcourt. He calmly sank both free throws to put the C's back in front.
The Pacers had the final shot, but Sloan missed a wide-open 3-pointer at the buzzer that could have won it.
In addition to members of the Celtics front office and coaching staff, veteran forward Jeff Green was on hand to watch the game and came away with good feelings about Olynyk.
"He can play at a high level," Green said in an interview with NBA TV after the game. "He can really move for a big guy. I'm impressed."
Green added that he's eager to prove he can succeed without Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, who have been traded to the Nets.
"It's all about opportunity," Green said. "And right now I definitely have the opportunity to showcase what I can do without those guys there. I'm looking forward to it. I've been working. I've been working hard to better my game in all aspects. So, I'm looking forward to the challenge I have upon me, and I'll be ready."
Green also had the opportunity to meet new coach Brad Stevens.
"We spoke today," Green said. "We walked over to the gym today, had a great time picking his brain. Just a smart, smart guy. He loves the game. I think he's looking forward to the challenge. College coaches coming in with the transition to the NBA, it's going to be tough. But I think he's up for the challenge. He's going to do whatever it takes to make us better."
The Celtics play again Wednesday at 3 p.m. vs. the Rockets, then they have a playoff game Friday to close out their week in Orlando.
|Big games from Kelly Olynyk, Darius Johnson-Odom lead Celtics over Pistons in summer league
|07.08.13 at 5:05 pm ET
Guard Darius Johnson-Odom scored a game-high 22 points over the bench while Celtics first-round pick Kelly Olynyk added 13 points, six rebounds and five steals as Boston beat Detroit, 93-63, in a summer league blowout in Orlando.
"It's an asset if you can go inside-out," Olynyk told NBA TV after Boston's first win of summer league. After scoring 25 points in Sunday's first game, Olynyk added an all-around game on Monday, chipping in with three assists and a blocked shot.
The Celtics were in complete control of the game, jumping out to a 30-9 lead after one quarter. The Celtics benefitted from balanced scoring as 12 of 13 players on the roster scored.
It was just the sixth 30-point decision in the history of summer league play in Orlando.
Phil Pressey was on the only other Celtics player in double figures, scoring 12 points.
While the Celtics improved to 1-1 in summer league, the Pistons, coached by Rasheed Wallace, suffered their first loss and evened their record at 1-1.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — After 13 seasons with the same franchise — 12 of those snapping to the same quarterback — C Jeff Saturday is in a new home, and acclimating well to Green Bay.
"He fits in like a gently worn baseball glove," said GM Ted Thompson.
Saturday laughed when told the metaphor.
"That's pretty good. I am probably worked in pretty good. I've been oiled a few times," he said after Wednesday's practice.
The Packers lost Scott Wells in free agency to the Rams. Wells, who played in 111 games with 100 starts in his eight seasons in Green Bay, started every game each of the last two seasons. Offensive line coach James Campen described what the team was looking for this offseason in a new starting center.
"We wanted someone that would fit our system and our scheme," Campen said. "We are an up-tempo team, we do some things at the line. Certainly we were looking for a guy who's smart, can fit right in and fill that spot."
Saturday, a five-time Pro Bowler, matched those qualities and is adjusting well as he gets ready to suit up in a Packers uniform for his first game, when Green Bay opens its preseason schedule Thursday night in San Diego.
"He's done well. He's picking up things every day," said Campen. "As he gets more familiar with our terminology, things will be better for him, but so far he's done a good job."
The two-time All-Pro is in a situation where he is not only learning from his new teammates, but teaching them a thing or two as well.
"He's had to come in and learn a new system, which we've helped out a lot with, being the two guys next to him," said ORG Josh Sitton, while sitting across from OLG T.J. Lang. "(Saturday) has taught us a lot of things already in his short time here. Playing for 14 years, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
"These guys have been in this offense for a number of years now. It helps for me to ask them questions on why the look is what it is and the thought process behind it," Saturday said. "It helps me to be able to pick up on the little intricacies of the offense.
"From the other standpoint, I've been doing this a long time. You learn a lot of the tricks of the trade as you go on and different techniques. It's a good conversation."
Those "tricks of the trade" could be teaching the younger O-linemen something seen in the film room. "He's pointed out some things (on film) and tips to look for with defensive linemen," said Campen.
The other "tricks" we might not be able to notice.
"He does a certain little thing on a couple plays. I don't want to give his secret away, but I hadn't seen it before and I like it," said Sitton.
For Saturday, the offseason in Green Bay has been a very different one than he has been accustomed to. He may have the most experience on the line, but not with the offense, and he enjoys taking more of a role in a learning capacity.
"I've appreciated it. I told Campen to coach me like I've never played before. He's done a good job telling me how they do things here, what the expectations at this position and this offensive line are," said Saturday. "For an old guy like myself, it revitalizes you a little bit. It gets you a little bit more excited to come to work because you've got to work harder to know what you're doing."

WAR DEBTS AND CULTURE; We Are Losing Through Crippling of Europe's Educational Agencies.
February 25, 1933,
, Section , Page 14, Column , words
To the Editor of The New York Times: The question of the so-called war debts has hitherto been discussed mainly from two standpoints: the effect of cancellation or reduction on trade, and international goodwill. I venture to submit that responsible statesmen in all countries have wholly or largely lost sight of another consideration to which public attention should be seriously directed.

A Woman Dances in the Operating Room to Beyonce Before Undergoing a Double Mastectomy [VIDEO]
A very brave (and extremely cool) woman in San Francisco named Deborah Cohan had to undergo a double mastectomy last Tuesday. She had an unusual request before the surgery started. Deborah asked the doctors, nurses and the rest of the staff to have a dance party with her in the operating room.
They all danced to Beyonce's song "Get Me Bodied." The video is getting lots of attention on YouTube and I'm sure will inspire other woman to approach this type of surgery with a positive outlook.

Some of my tendons are aching, were my foot meets my leg, but on top. It aches more today that it did yesterday, and I was wondering (since today is my workout day), should I wait to workout until my joint feels better, or do you think it's okay to work out with it?
Everything I can think of, I'd have to use that joint. I've been stretching it since it started, which was two days ago, but this hasnt ever happened since I've been active. Usually I'd just rest it out.
Don't work it out today. Can you do some exercises that don't use the sore spots? If you work out while you are sore, it might get worse and then you won't be able to work out at all.
You could try something really low-impact/low-intensity -- walking maybe? Or if even that hurts, maybe you could just work out your upper body.
Hope it feels better soon!
i wouldn't do anything that will aggravate it more.
it will probably only make it worse. =)
Thanks guys! I think the soreness is going away little by little. I've been stretching it out. I posted this when I first woke up and it really hurt then. I think I'm going to call my mom to see what she thinks too.
You may be aggravating it by stretching too much.Try something light - swimming? biking?or, do some weights.I hope your foot feels better soon.
I decided against it today, but I'm sure I'll feel much better by tomorrow. Thanks everybody!
LOL - I see you've already made your decidion, but I'll give you my answer anyway... no. Stay home and have some chocolate :rollseyes: sheesh, some people you gotta tell em how to do everything.... :roflhard: :roflhard:

President Obama faces growing rebellion from within his own party over his decision to further delay authorization for the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The administration announced shortly before the Easter holiday that a decision on whether to approve the pipeline was being delayed indefinitely, which translates "until after the November elections."
The Keystone XL pipeline would transport Canadian tar sands oil to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Environmentalists oppose it based on their view that extraction of oil from Canadian tar sands produces more greenhouse gases than traditional oil exploration and the pipeline would thus contribute to development of the "dirty oil." It's an intellectual stretch, to say the least.
The U.S. Department of State has concluded otherwise, finding that the oil sands will be developed regardless, and transporting that oil via the pipeline will produce far fewer greenhouse gases than trains and other modes of transport currently in use.
Obama's decision to delay was a direct rebuke to 11 Democratic senators who wrote the president days earlier urging him the make a final decision (the desired decision being approval) by the end of May.
His action led one of the letter's signatories, endangered Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, to sharply criticize the president. Landrieu, who happens to chair the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, called the delay "irresponsible, unnecessary and unacceptable." She added, "â ¦the administration is sending a signal that the small minority who oppose the pipeline can tie up the process forever. There are 42,000 jobs, $20 billion in economic activity and North America's energy security at stake."
Landrieu also threatened to take "decisive action" to get the pipeline approved legislatively. That effort is gaining momentum. A bill requiring approval of the pipeline has been introduced in the Senate. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat and one of the bill's sponsors, told reporters Sunday he believes the votes exist in the Senate for a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority to pass the measure. He noted that a similar, non-binding resolution in the Senate last year garnered 62 votes and said, "I still think that vote is there. I really do."
A vote on the measure is expected in coming days, and passage would set up a political showdown between President Obama and some of the most endangered members of his party in the fall election. Some Democratic observers suggest such a vote would give the president political cover to acquiesce without overly offending his backers in the environmental movement, for whom stopping the pipeline is a modern-day golden calf.
But if Obama vetoes the measure, there is serious doubt that there would be enough votes, particularly in the Senate, to override the veto. Such a veto also would almost certainly create enmity between Obama and the group of Democratic senators who believe approval of the pipeline is important to their re-election chances.
The case for approving the pipeline is compelling, for both economic and environmental reasons. We nonetheless predict Obama will veto any bill of approval passed by the Senate, in a show of ideological purity. It would be politically unwise and bad for the country for him to do so, but that seems to be the president's body language at present.
The five-year and counting delay of the pipeline is troubling evidence of the president's ideological indifference to the plight of those seeking a job and the impact of the administration's bad policies on the chances of finding one. A veto of likely Senate approval of the pipeline would put an exclamation mark on that sentiment.

Winger Bill Tupou has sealed his immediate future with the Warriors by signing a new contract through to the end of the 2014 NRL season.
After making his NRL debut while still an NYC player in 2010, the 21-year-old has established himself as one of the club's front-line wingers along with veteran Manu Vatuvei.
He featured in the Warriors' last 14 games in 2011 including the grand final, earning him selection for the Kiwis' end of season tour to Australia and England.
He has also featured in all eight games so far this season. The only other Warriors back who has been ever-present over the same period has been standoff James Maloney.
"It's great to have my contract sorted out and to know I'll be staying here," said Tupou.
"I've been around the Vodafone Warriors for a few years now and I've got a lot to thank the club for.
"I've enjoyed having the chance to play in the NRL regularly but I also know I have to work at my game and keep improving to hold on to my place."
Warriors head coach Brian McClennan said Tupou's new deal was well-deserved.
"Bill's one of our most improved and reliable players," he said.
"He has developed into a consistent first-grade player and, like so many in our NRL squad, he's an example of what local players can achieve by coming through our development system."
Tupou is, in fact, one of 18 players in the club's NRL squad to come through the Junior Warriors. While he was ruled ineligible for the 2010 NYC grand final, he was a major contributor to the premiership-winning campaign finishing his three years in the competition with 37 tries in just 49 games.
Confirmation of his contract extension caps a good week for the former Kelston Boys' High School pupil.
In last week's Anzac Day NRL clash against the Melbourne Storm, Tupou showed excellent finishing skills to score two tries, his second double of the season.
The team's top try-scorer so far with five, his performance earned him the players' player of the day award.
Tupou will make his 38th NRL appearance when the Warriors face Brisbane in Saturday night's ninth-round encounter at Mount Smart Stadium.

-Pictures at linkBased on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/14/lincoln-mkc-spy-shots/
Looks pretty damn good.

Looks good. Slightly disappointed to not see the beautiful integrated exhausts on the concept make it to production, however, they may add that on the next generation MKX which is larger and more upscale.Expect the MKC to debut at the LA auto show in November. Production begins early next year for sales to start in Q2 as a 2015 model.Look for an MKS Concept in January at the Detroit show. New Navigator will be shown next year either in NY or LA.

It just looks like a slightly more awkward mkx to me. I don't see this generating much excitement in Lincoln.

____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
The only parts that have remained intact from the concept are the front end and the hatch design. If you look at the rear quarter windows (which are much larger), even the shape may have changed. The haunches on the concept were flatter. The rear windshield is also rounder. The addition of door handles has killed this design. Overall, this is just meh.
I have my fingers crossed but I'm seeing too many changes, we'll see though.
This is why I hate concepts that are "close" to production spec, they almost always get your hopes up and disappoint. The concept was very attractive and had virtually unanimous praise, this looks watered down in comparison.

Six of the U-T's Top 10 teams did not play last weekend. All are back in action this Friday and the best matchup finds No. 4 Oceanside (3-2) visiting No. 9 Carlsbad (5-0).
Oceanside, of course, is coming off its stunning 30-6 loss at Mission Hills. Carlsbad, meanwhile, has not been tested, outscoring its five opponents by a combined 240-24.
The guess here is that Carlsbad will suffer its first loss. The Lancers' schedule has been cotton-candy soft: Great Oaks, San Diego, Santa Fe Christian, Westview and Fallbrook.
Combined record: 9-16.
It will be interesting to see how Oceanside's defense handles Carlsbad's attack. The Lancers are averaging 8.4 yards per carry. And San Diego State-bound QB Christian Chapman is completing 67 percent of his passes. His most stunning stat: 16 TDs, 1 interception.
Can't see the Pirates dropping to 3-3.

Raful Neal
Born in Baton Rouge in 1936, Neal took up the harp at age 14, tutored by a local player named Ike Brown and influenced by Chicago mainstay Little Walter. Neal's first band, the Clouds, also included guitarist Buddy Guy. This was the band Little Walter heard while in Baton Rouge and invited them to move up to Chicago and fill in at the gigs Walter couldn't make. Guy jumped at the chance but Neal decided to stay in Louisiana and raise his family. The harpist debuted on vinyl in 1958 with a 45 for Don Robey's Houston-headquartered Peacock Records. But "Sunny Side of Love," fine though it was, didn't lead to an encore for Peacock or anywhere else until much later, when Neal turned up with 45s on Whit, La Louisiane, and Fantastic.
Neal's debut album, the aptly titled Louisiana Legend, first emerged on Bob Greenlee's King Snake Records and was picked up by Alligator in 1990. I Been Mistreated, Neal's equally swampy follow-up, was released on Ichiban the following year; sons Noel (on bass) and Raful Jr. (on guitar) pitched in to help their old man out. Neal toured around the world and in 1997 he contributed harp to a couple of tracks on Tab Benoit's Live: Swampland Jam record. The understated but solid Old Friends appeared in 1998. Raful Neal died on September 1, 2004, after a long bout with cancer. ~ Bill Dahl

text: Toronto Private Schools Are Key Towards Academic Success By Jayne BOctober 11, 20110 Back to HomeTweet Invest in Your Child's Success Enrolling your child in an excellent private school is not only a means of ensuring they will receive the highest level of education possible, but it is also a way to guarantee their success in post-secondary education and future careers. Students who attend private schools are better able to cope with the next step in their education after high school. While getting into a university is important, it is vital that each student is able to succeed once they get there by applying the skills they have learned during the formative years of junior and senior high school. Private schools focus on helping students hone their capabilities, not only in an academic sense, but also in the sense of character development. The goal is to give students the tools to effectively face future challenges and to achieve a lifestyle that is balanced between work and leisure. Educators and Administrators Educators and administrators of private schools go well beyond the duty of simply fulfilling their job descriptions. Each faculty member is committed to the personal success of all students. This goal is achieved through smaller class sizes that allow teachers to spend more time assessing the needs of all students. These smaller groups mean that no child is simply a face in the crowd. Teachers are able to determine where each child's strengths and weaknesses lie and can therefore effectively help each student overcome any personal learning obstacle. Beyond this, smaller classes give students a greater opportunity to participate in class discussions, while also fostering greater confidence to ask questions and offer points of view. Teachers find that students develop stronger relationships with each other in smaller class sizes, making the classroom a more positive environment to learn in. Well-Rounded Individuals Education and good grades are just one aspect of the prep school experience. Toronto private schools focus not only on enhancing learning skills, but also on the development of each student becoming a well-rounded individual. The following factors are greatly emphasized in the daily curriculum: Personal Responsibility; Social Responsibility; Healthy and Balanced Lifestyle; Creative and Analytical Thinking; Facing Challenges with an Open Mind; and Striving for Personal Excellence. An emphasis on personal responsibility encourages students to value the role they have with others through positive reinforcement. By focusing on the concept of accepting responsibility for one's actions at an early age, students learn important life skills with regards to their behavior and their role in society. Private schools that also focus on the importance of social responsibility help students understand the world outside of the confines of their school. By integrating organizations, charities and fundraisers into daily school activities, participation in and awareness of social causes becomes a priority of the students. Furthermore, students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities such as clubs and athletics, which helps them learn to balance leisure time with academics. Toronto private schools are helping students fully prepare for life's challenges, resulting in the students' continued success in post-secondary schooling, future careers and other endeavors.

About Vere St. Leger Goold
Vere St. Leger Goold (2 October 1853 in Waterford, Ireland - 8 September 1909 Devil's Island, French Guiana penal colony) was an Irish tennis player. He quickly faded from the game and ended his life in prison convicted of murder and premature death, by suicide.
He apparently had boxing skills as well as tennis skills. In June of 1879 he became the Irish tennis champion, beating his opponent, C.D. Barry, 8–6, 8–6 in the final. Later that summer Vere tried his luck at the third edition of the Wimbledon Championships and made it all the way to the All-Comers final in which he was defeated by Reverend John Hartley, 2-6, 4-6, 2-6.
A few months later he competed in the first open tournament held at Cheltenham. He again reached the final and lost, this time to the famous William Renshaw, in a a closely fought match, 4-6, 3-6, 6-5, 6-5, 4-6. He wasted a 4-1 lead in the final set.
After an illness he failed to defend his Irish title in 1880, losing out in the Challenge Round, again to William Renshaw 1-6, 4-6, 3-6. St. Leger's career went downhill and he disappeared from the tennis scene by 1883.
Vere Thomas St Leger Goold was an Irish aristocrat, a Wimbledon finalist, an alcoholic, an opium addict, a slow payer of his gambling debts, and all-round "degenerate", and in the summer of 1907 he was arrested at Marseille railway station after he was found to have a woman's naked, headless, dismembered and disembowelled body in his leather trunk.

Sir James Stephen Goold, 4th baronet and his brother, Vere Thomas St.Leger Goold.
According to an article which appeared in the 'Adelaide [South Australia] Advertiser' on 9 September 1907, Sir James's younger brother, Vere Thomas St.Leger Goold, claimed the baronetcy, notwithstanding the fact that his older brother was still alive at the time. In any event, Sir James Goold also had three sons and two grandsons, each of whom took precedence in the line of succession. It should also be pointed out that Sir James Goold and his family lived in South Australia at the time the article was published, and the paper would therefore be expected to have a better knowledge of the family than most.
The article states that 'How [Vere] Goold claimed his title to his brother's baronetcy, though Sir James Stephen Goold is still alive, forms a curious narrative. Even if Sir James were dead, Vere Goold would not be justified in using the title of 'Sir Vere,' as there are three sons and one [actually two] grandsons of his brother who would take precedence of him. The family of the baronet are all residing in Australia, but are not in a position to "keep up" the title.
'In 1900 a paragraph appeared in Canadian and Australian papers, stating that in consequence of the death of the holder of the title, Mr. Vere St.Leger Goold, of Montreal, had succeeded to it. The only foundation for the story was the fact that a brother named Frederick Edward Michael Goold, who came between James Stephen and Vere St.Leger, died in a hospital in Australia, leaving no heirs. [While this person does not appear in Burke's Peerage, he is shown as the heir to the baronetcy in the 1899 edition of Dod's Peerage, even though each of Sir James's three sons had been born by that time - but this was not known to the editors of these peerage reference works].
'Vere St.Leger appears to have fastened on this fact, and circulated a statement that it was the elder brother, holder of the title, who had died without family. In May, 1901, he wrote to the editors of the leading books of reference, telling them of his brother's death. While professing anxiety not to use the title "until proofs come to hand," he said he would like to establish his position as baronet, "for my wife's sake." He also informed the editors that he had no children, and that he travelled about a good deal. His friends, he explained, wished to call him 'Sir Vere,' but he told everyone that it would be "somewhat premature" to do so. He wound up by ingenuously stating that he had not seen or heard anything of his brother, James Stephen Goold, since the year 1863 [the year James Stephen Goold migrated to Australia].
'This last statement was denounced the following year by the real baronet, Vere St.Leger's elder brother, as a falsehood. He had also seen the newspaper paragraphs and he wrote to the editors to inform them that, while he was not in a position to keep up the title, he still wished to preserve the rights of his three sons and any children they might have. As for his brother's statement that he had not seen or heard of him since 1863, he settled the question by showing that he had been in frequent communication with him since 1897 on the question of the use of the title.
'In subsequent letters Sir James Stephen Goold alleged that Vere St.Leger actually wrote to him offering him £100 if he would sign a document "waiving his claim," and the claims of his children, to the title. The money was never sent, and the document, if it had been signed for this consideration would have been worth nothing. It is not in the power of anyone to abandon a title in that fashion.
' When Sir James Goold died in August 1926, the [Melbourne] 'Argus' reported, in its edition of 10 August 1926, that "Sir James Stephen Goold, an Irish baronet [sic - it is a baronetcy of the United Kingdom], died yesterday at a mental hospital. [I understand, however, that Sir James had suffered a stroke, so the reference to a mental hospital may be somewhat misleading - it is more likely that he died in some form of sanatorium or nursing home.]
Sir James Goold, who was born on October 13, 1848, succeeded his uncle, the third baronet, in 1893. He was for many years and until 13 years ago a railway ganger at Gladstone, South Australia. He never used his title………. Sir James Goold had maintained for 44 years the secret of his association with a titled family, but in August 1907, a cable message announced that a Vere Goold and Mrs. Goold had murdered Madame Emma Levin at Monte Carlo. [Vere] Goold said that he had a brother, a baronet, in South Australia……
" The murder referred to above was one of most sensational newspaper stories of 1907. On 6 August of that year, a middle-aged couple arrived at Marseilles by train from Monte Carlo. The man gave a railway porter a luggage ticket and asked him to forward a trunk via goods train to Charing Cross Station in London, to be left there until called for. The trunk was placed on a truck and driven towards the goods station, but on the way, it was noticed that blood was leaking from a corner of the trunk. The porter reported the matter to the police, and when the trunk was opened, they found the body of a woman, whose head and legs had been severed. It was an easy matter to trace the middle-aged couple, since the porter had overheard them hiring a cab to take them to a hotel, whose name he had remembered.
The police immediately proceeded to the hotel and arrested the couple, and seized their other luggage. In one of their trunks, the police found the missing head and legs. At their subsequent trial the prisoners, Vere St.Leger Goold and his wife Violet Goold, formerly Girondin, denied murdering Emma Levin, but admitted to dismembering her body. Evidence was brought before the court which showed that Emma Levin was a wealthy woman who possessed a valuable collection of jewellery. In addition, it was shown that she had lent money to the Goolds, and had been pressing them for repayment.
Finally, on 4 December 1907, the Court found both of the Goolds to be guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced Vere Goold to life imprisonment, while Mrs. Goold was sentenced to death. Vere Goold died in prison on Devil's Island, the French penal settlement off the coast of South America in September 1909 (one report suggests that he committed suicide).
His wife's death sentence was later commuted to life in prison, where she died in January 1914. The reason for the commutation of Mrs. Goold's death sentence may perhaps be found in the following report which appeared in 'The Washington Post' on 24 December 1907:- 'Mme. Vere Goold has produced consternation in the principality of Monaco by exercising an ancient right of a condemned person and demanding that she be beheaded in the plaza, which is the flower and tree decorated space in front of the Casino at Monte Carlo. 'Ever since the trial of the Goolds for the murder of Emma Levin, the Prince of Monaco has dreaded some such possibility as this. The persistent policy of this ruler has been to keep away, to cover up, anything that might frighten the nervous sensibilities of the patrons of the gambling establishments. 'The idea of an execution in Monte Carlo was horrifying enough, but now this terrible woman demands to be killed in public and that the guillotine be set up in front of the Palace of Chance. 'She and her husband have appealed against their sentences - his that of hard labor for life and hers that of the headsman - and in view of the woman's plea for a final public appearance it is possible the appeal will be granted. 'Meanwhile the Goolds are locked up in the Monaco prison. Goold has sent a farewell message to his friends in Ireland and England, and will be shipped to Cayenne, French Guinea [sic for Guiana], if the sentence be carried out. He has also sent loving messages to the cell of his wife, but she refuses to read them and declares she wants nothing more to do with "that lazy drunkard." While researching this note, I made a courtesy phone call to the current baronet, Sir George William [Bill] Goold, who lives in Sydney. Not only was Bill familiar with most aspects of the stories of Sir James Stephen Goold and Vere St.Leger Goold, but he was also aware of some information that was unknown to me. He very kindly sent me a copy of a pamphlet entitled "St.Leger Goold; A Tale of Two Courts" written by Alan Little and published by the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum in 1984. The two courts referred to in the title of the pamphlet are the court which convicted Vere Goold of murder, and also the tennis courts at Wimbledon, where Goold was a champion player, being the runner-up in the men's singles at Wimbledon in 1879, the same year that he won the Irish championship.

text: In the world of Facebook, Twitter, and Texting getting information out quickly is what many are focusing on.But Today is National Punctuation Day and while some may ditch those punctuation marks to save character space, brevity may cost clarity in other situations." If you use punctuation without any sense, the conventions, there's simply no clarity in what you're producing," said Dr. Matt Pifer, The Director of the Writing Center at Husson University.The idea may get across in a 140 character tweet, but if you're writing a cover letter for a job it may be lost and it could cost you an opportunity."In terms of writing effectively you want to make sure you have a clear idea that you try to communicate that idea effectively that you organize that idea effectively and the punctuation tends to follow from clear, organized to a clear sense of the idea that you have," said Pifer, who is an Associate Professor of English at Husson.The errors for many of us come in just a couple of key punctuation areas."Common mistakes would be things like putting commas without a conjunction, that would be common, it creates a comma splice or a run on sentence and so they just start putting commas everywhere in that case they're putting a comma where there should be a semicolon," said Pifer. "A lot of people don't use semicolons correctly, they'll use semicolons in place of colons for all kinds of reasons so those tend to be the two most common kinds of errors that we see with punctuation."And even though National Punctuation Day is relatively light hearted Dr. Pifer thinks putting the spot light on punctuation is deserved. "It's nice that people think about language, think about how effective it can be, also how beautiful it can be, and the fact that punctuation doesn't need to be a painful thing, it can certainly be a way to communicate effectively, it can be part of that process and I think celebrating something like that, being aware of it is a time to think about that you know language is a powerful tool, something we care a lot about."For more information you can visit The official website of National Punctuation Day.
