The privilege I have is beyond belief. My clients are "happy campers" who have typically just come off another great year. They have a good working life and their friends envy them. They also believe that a day without learning and growing is a missed day.
They seek executive coaching because while caught up in their daily life running their organizations, they know their own future can't wait for the future. They want intriguing ideas, useful approaches, and tangible steps now to do things differently for both themselves and their organizations.
For forty years I've been a paid observer of the behavior and decisions of business leaders my clients look up to. First-hand learning from successful leaders' experiences has trained me to have a perspective very few have from exposure few have had. In a short time, I can give insight into the part of your own life that you cannot yet see.
With objectivity and careful intervention I give clear, direct, pragmatic advice to handle anything in the best possible way to drive the best possible outcome. Clients say that I "think about things others don't think about — and in a way that others don't."
Put simply, what I do for a living is bring awareness, then adjustment — because even a small mid-course correction changes everything.
When we work together, even the best leaders get better.

"Benton teaches smart, savvy, experienced people to stand out in an increasingly crowded workforce. She makes the difference in making them special. The competition is brutal. Benton teaches people that the way you communicate and interact can be your tipping point for success."
— Bob Berkowitz, former CNN correspondent
"Following her ideas I received a promotion and a raise at a time when salaries were frozen for cost containment. I expanded my work responsibilities to include an entire new category of strategic planning, and was recognized as a finalist for a prestigious international industry award."
— Lara Nichols, Tyco International
"Debra's advice is like the golf pro who gets you to move your thumb one inch on your grip to keep you out of the rough and increase your chance of getting a hole in one... She has been the single biggest impact on my career."

In this brave new business world, traditional leadership styles just won't cut it. Only those leaders who operate with a sense of urgency, communicate with clarity and honesty, and maintain a healthy respect for change will land up — and remain — on top. In The Leadership Mind Switch, will take you through the process of becoming an effective 21st Century leader.
"Simply put, this is the best leadership book I've ever read."

Just in time for Cyber Monday viewing, we can show you (in the video above) the latest brainstorm from retail genius Jeff "Amazon" Bezos. It's the Amazon "octocopter," a drone aircraft that the company says one day will make it possible to deliver purchases to some customers in just 30 minutes.
Bezos unveiled his new toy on CBS's "60 Minutes" Sunday night, with host-personality Charlie Rose telling the audience, "Tonight, for the first time, you'll be introduced to perhaps Amazon's boldest venture ever."
The segment gives a pretty thorough overview of how Amazon fills orders, estimated at 300 per second for Cyber Monday, at its nearly 100 fulfillment centers worldwide. At one point, Rose asks Bezos, "What is Amazon today?" Bezos responds:
"I would define Amazon by our big ideas, which are customer-centricity, putting the customer at the center of everything we do; invention — we like to pioneer, we like to explore, we like to go down dark alleys and see what's on the other side."
Bezos also emphsized that his company begins projects with a long view in mind, being willing to wait five, six or seven years for a return on investments instead of being impatient for, and needing, a more immediate payback. That willingness to wait explains in part the company's research-and-development effort on aerial delivery, which Bezos told Rose "is years away" from reality.
Bezos said the octocopters as currently configured could carry parcels up to five pounds, which would account for 86 percent of Amazon's sales, and could make deliveries within a 10-mile radius of fulfillment centers. Another selling point for the drones, he says: They're green, being powered by electric motors. Summarizing the challenges still facing the project, he said "the hard part here is putting in all the redundancy, all the reliability, all the systems you need to say, 'Look, this thing can't land on somebody's head while they're walking around their neighborhood. … I don't want anybody to think this is just around the corner."
(Amazon is not the first enterprise to talk about delivery by drone. Domino's Pizza has a prototype air-delivery vehicle under development (see Stephen Colbert's take here). Closer to home, Silicon Valley Tacocopter promises aerial delivery of Mexican cuisine.)
Our takeaway on the Amazon octocopter: It will be great to have an electric toothbrush, a Kindle or the first volume of "The Hunger Games" trilogy dropped on the front doorstep. But listen to these machines. They really are drones, whining little commerce-driven mosquitoes. In the 24-hour instant airborne delivery world we'll soon inhabit, that sound will be really annoying. People seeking a little peace and quiet will take to chasing them down with softball bats and attacking them. So in addition to making sure the autonomous delivery craft don't land on our heads, maybe Bezos and his engineers can turn that future drone into a whisper.
Here's the video from last night's "60 Minutes" segment:

Warren hires new harbormaster
Warren has a new harbormaster.
Edward Cabral Jr., a Warren resident, volunteer firefighter and long-time conservation officer with the DEM, was unanimously chosen for the post after interviewing with the Warren Town Council Tuesday night. He beat out eight other hopefuls for the job, though only six candidates showed up for their interviews.
Mr. Cabral has worked extensively with the harbor patrol, and has served as the training officer for the Warren Fire Department's marine rescue division for 13 or 14 years. He has worked as an environmental police officer at DEM for 29 years, focus on on marine law enforcement. Though he will stay on that job, he said it will not conflict with his part-time duties as harbormaster.
"As far as scheduling, I'm a lieutenant in charge of my own scheduling," he said. "It won't be an issue."
Mr. Cabral replaces former harbormaster Matt Calouro, who left the job last year with medical issues and in December informed the town that he was leaving the post. Mr. Cabral will be paid approximately $18,000 per year.
Mr. Cabral beat out several new faces, and familiar names, for the post. Most notably, he was chosen over assistant harbormaster David Pion, who has been acting harbormaster since Mr. Calouro left last year. He said one of his largest priorities would be making sure Warren has enough manpower to keep the patrol boat on the water more often than it has in the recent past.
Several other candidates made the same remarks. One, Bagy Wrinkle Cove resident Robert Hughes, a former assistant harbormaster in Barrington, said he can count on one hand the number of times he has seen Warren's patrol boat out in recent years.
"We need more visibility out there," he said. "It's important for the town to have a better presence."
Mr. Cabral was a unanimous appointment. Councilor Cathie Tattrie nominated him for the position, and her motion was seconded by Scott Lial.
I was thinking the same thing! How ridiculous!

How to use IRC
For those who are not familiar with IRC, it is pretty much like an instant messenger. You will be able to talk to us in real time, if we are there.
There are many ways to join our channel. One is to go to this website: http://webchat.freenode.net/Enter a nickname, enter "#tatoeba" for the channel, and click on "connect". That's it!

Adding new sentences
There are two ways to add new sentences.
- From the Contribute section
- By creating a new list, and going to the edit page for that list.
Even though there are many sentences in Tatoeba, there is still a lot of vocabulary that is not covered. This is why we encourage you to add new sentences with new vocabulary, even if you do not know how to translate it into any language.
Translating sentences
Translating is one of the most important tasks in Tatoeba, since the main goal of the project is to gather sentences translated into many languages.
You can translate a sentence from pretty much everywhere. Just click on this icon whenever you see it.
Correcting mistakes
You can only correct mistakes in sentences that belong to you. If you see a mistake in someone else's sentence, you can post a comment to notify him or her of the mistake.
In certain cases, the sentence does not have an owner. Read the paragraph below (on adopting sentences) to learn more.
Adopting sentences
When you add a sentence, this sentence "belongs" to you - only you can edit it. However, many of the sentences in Tatoeba come from a Japanese-English corpus called the Tanaka Corpus. These sentences do not have any owner because they have been collected outside of Tatoeba.
If you see a mistake in an "orphan" sentence, you will not be able to correct it because you are not the owner. This is why there is an "adopt" option (). Once you adopt a sentence, you become its owner and therefore can edit it.
Adopting a sentence is also part of the "quality process". You can find more information about it here: http://blog.tatoeba.org/2009/01/new-validation-system.html
Sentence lists
You can create lists of sentences in Tatoeba. By default the list is personal, which means it can only be edited by the person who created it (but it is still visible to everyone).
However it is also possible to let any member in Tatoeba add and remove sentences by setting a list as collaborative.

The Lone Ranger cost the studio an estimated $215-million plus, with additional money for marketing and faced multiple delays from the studio including a cancellation scare back in 2011
Film-making has never been more unlimited by physical constraints -- and it's never been so boring. Neither the men nor the women have fared well in pop sci fi that is pretty to look at, but stale and flat.
Post-apocalyptic action movie The Hunger Games opened with a staggering US$155-million at and Canadian box offices, beating Hollywood's lofty expectations and making history as the third-highest domestic film opening.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that John Carter is on its way to setting the record for worst box-office flop of all time. But what is it up against? We a look at the Top 5 box-office flops in film history
When the Walt Disney Co said on Monday that it expected its sci-fi movie John Carter to lose about US$200-million, it very likely shot the intergalactic box office bomb to the top of Hollywood's biggest loser chart.
So far, the film about a former military captain who is transported to Mars, has generated US$184-million in ticket sales worldwide. That is far shy from the audience needed to earn back the movie's estimated US$250-million production budget.
A comic spin on 1980s television hit 21 Jump Street nabbed the No. 1 slot on North American movie box office charts over the weekend, beating forecasts and knocking two-time winner The Lorax to second place
My Noah Wyle-loving inner 17-year-old was extremely disappointed that despite the title, John Carter is NOT about the dreamy resident's post-ER life
Disney's latest mega-budget blockbuster John Carter may be out of this world, but it seems to be leaving North American audiences spaced-out. Meanwhile, in Russia, it's a whole different story
Dr. Seuss movie The Lorax stayed firmly planted at No. 1 on box office charts over the weekend, easily trumping the debut of Walt Disney Co's expensive sci-fi flick John Carter.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by roscoe36, Jan 14, 2007.
ESPN.com - NHL - Burnside: Wings' Cleary makes most of chance Nice puff piece on a Wing.
Where was he when we gave up those 9 goals? Wings racking up wins real nice now. With only an ocassional stinker thrown in.
The Wings are finally playing playoff hockey as they go into the stretch drive. The last couple years, it was all puck possession, but a friend of mine who is a bit older and a die-hard Wing fan put it best, He said that if Hasek can stay healthy, he'll be invaluable in the playoffs. Even if he doesn't play superb (which he has), the amount of confidence he gives the team is priceless. When Legace lost his nerve last year, the entire team dropped off in confidence. But with Hasek, you know that he might post one stinker and come back like a man possessed. I really think Hasek is the best goalie I have seen in my lifetime. Better than Patrick Roy.
I won't say the G word injury. Rest him more.
Some of us old folks had the pleasure of watching Ken Dryden and Bernie Parent too. Before your time, I think.
Was that back when you rode a brontosaurus to school pops?
We didn't have bronto's back then. They weren't born yet. I had to walk ten miles uphill through snow and ice age conditions to get to school. I saw Bernie in his first game while I was crossing a glacier one day.
You're a good sport Tater. Wow, did I just write that!?

24 Confusing Hours with Mountain
Posted on Friday, July 11 @ 17:00:00 PST by Paul_Tamburro
I stare at my mountain as it rotates on its axis, slowly pirouetting in the sky like an overweight ballet dancer. It has a horse sticking out of its peak and a dazzling, golden nugget clung to its rear like a benign cyst. This is my mountain. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.
I began playing Mountain in the wee small hours of the morning. Upon first loading, the game asked me to draw how I felt right at that moment. I painted the screen black. It then told me to draw death. I painted the screen black. The game then told me to have "patience" as it proceeded to generate my mountain. I am uncertain as to whether or not my somber scribbles were in any way linked with the creation of my mountain, but nothing about its appearance suggested that they were. It was coated in lush, green grass, a complete contrast to my implied bleak existence.
I stared at the mountain as it floated all alone in the vastness of space. I clicked on it only to be met with more silence. I dragged it with my mouse, speeding up its rotation though revealing nothing new about it. I zoomed out, only to discover that there was nothing nearby other than the distant twinkle of stars. It was a mountain, that was all it was, but was that all it was ever going to be?
Artist David OReilly's Mountain is billed as a "mountain simulator," though this isn't true as the mountain it is supposedly simulating is unlike any other mountain you will encounter in our Earthly realm. In actuality, it has more in common with virtual pet games such as the Tamagotchi, albeit without the need to feed and clean up feces. All that Mountain requires of you is that you leave it running on your desktop and, if you so wish, check up on it when you hear the audio cues informing you of an event. Needless to say, the 24 hours I spent with Mountain was an experience unlike any other I have encountered in this medium.
After your mountain has been generated, you will be left with no other tasks to perform. Being a dolt, I immediately pressed Escape to look for graphics options to see whether or not I could improve the texture of my mountain, but I was met with a simple menu which enabled me to turn the audio on/off, while also informing me that my mouse and keyboard did "NOTHING." That wasn't true, though. My mouse could swivel the mountain around and for some inexplicable reason the game had transformed my keyboard into a piano, which I could use to create my own makeshift soundtrack. So I created the 'Mountain Song'.
After creating 'Mountain Song', I then found myself wondering what else there was to do, so I tweeted David OReilly asking him for some advice.
He didn't reply. But then something happened; a golden nugget appeared on the underbelly of my mountain.
What did this mean? I clicked on it but nothing happened, so I double-clicked on it but still nothing happened. I then right-clicked, but nope, nothing. "What if I zoom in on it?" I thought to myself, but that only allowed me to see the nugget with more clarity. I waited to see if anything would happen, whether the nugget would transform into some kind of golden enemy that I could shoot, but after roughly 35 seconds of waiting I minimized the game and checked Twitter instead. Then a loud noise echoed through my speakers. It was the game. I hurriedly opened it up, hoping to see some sort of development in my mountain's world, but I was met with nothing more than a line of text reading "IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE?" "Quite," I concurred, before checking over my shoulder to see whether anyone noticed me talking to my PC monitor. I was alone in my house at that moment in time, save for my dog who was now looking at me quizzically. "Don't judge me," I said to her, ashamed, and she left the room. Dogs are empathetic creatures.
After a few more hours of leaving Mountain running in the background while scrolling through Reddit, my mountain began to spontaneously develop more scenery. For one, there was now a horse sticking out of it. I didn't even bother clicking on it, for I knew that this wouldn't achieve anything. The horse was window-dressing, to be looked at but not touched.
After getting some beauty sleep, I opened Mountain up the next morning to see whether anything had changed, and to my surprise my mountain's peak now had a giant pie sticking out of it.
In my weariness I had perhaps failed to notice this new development the previous evening, but now there was no escaping that my once untainted mountain had been sullied by pastry. Feeling deflated that my beautiful mountain now looked like some farty modern art piece, I minimized the window once again, until another audio cue prompted me to take a look at the game. That bastard pie, which had previously sat so smug and erect, was now positioned at a more horizontal angle. What had happened here? Had my mountain grown sentient during my slumber, trying to rid itself of the doughy treat that had defaced it? Or was this simply another instance of Mountain playing by its own rules, continued to abide by no laws of logic?
It was almost certainly the latter. I concluded as much when another horse spontaneously surfaced on my mountain, accompanied by a traffic cone and a biplane. Mountain was doing whatever the hell it wanted, and I could merely spectate. "David OReilly is an artist," I thought to myself. "Do I not understand art?" No, that couldn't be true—I've been to at least three art galleries, and not once did I fall asleep walking through their endless corridors of splotchy nothingness. I also have a Banksy coaster somewhere in my cutlery drawer (the one where Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald are holding hands with that young, naked Vietnamese girl, because fuck capitalism or something I dunno), so I even own art. I must've simply been missing something, I concluded, and so I stared intently at my mountain once more, my last desperate attempt to figure out its underlying meaning.
But I couldn't. I had failed. There was nothing to find in my mountain other than pie and horses. And a golden nugget. And a biplane. I took one last look at it, before resting my hands upon the keyboard. I began to orchestrate a little jingle with its keys, in what would be my final Mountain ballad. I then closed down the game.
I will never visit my mountain again.

My momma & daddy have been talking for a few weeks now about just what i am, they figure since i can tell them who my really momma and daddy were they wanted to find a DNA test. I am was confused, momma calls me a mean little winnie dog when i am bad, but they were so happy to know what exactly i am made up of. Mamma said at times i can be cranky and not want small ones on me especially my legs that would be the winnie dog, dadda said my hair and agility would be the collie and golden retriever. My picky tummy and teeth makes senses. They said they are looking to make the right plan for my diet and exercise and want to do as much research as possible to make sure i am happy and healthy. I love my family!
We recently got a break in the cold weather, so we headed to the Statepark 4 days in a row!!! Kuma my new baby brother came along mom & dad were worried he wouldnt like it much and they didnt know if he would wanna walk. BOY were they wrong he kept up with me on the smaller trail "didnt wanna overwhelm him" and was running the whole time! He is a rowdy little guy but fits in perfectly. At first he seemed scared when he met us but he warmed up quickly! I sure am glad he likes going for walks on the trails with me, since JeNova really dislikes it -.- Anyways i am hoping for snow to PLAY in!
Merry Christmas!!!
Yes we went for a hike yesterday!!! How i have missed it all the smells and the sounds, i was bounding off with one human while the others played. JeNova does not like the hikes as much, she has no energy to keep up, but i can always go go go. When the snow comes we will go less, which makes me sad, i love to sneak into the lake when the humans stop and do that thing with their feet. But i never get off the leash they are scared i will get lost =[ and i would not like that but I really can not wait to go again!

I'm on the Staten Island Ferry, headed to Occupy Wall Street, squeezed among a huddled mass of yuppies from the New York Road Runners Club. Their unified stench is more offensive than any homeless vegan flatulence I sniffed at various Occupy camps, as is the 'tude on two post-debutante types who are debating how to hurtle through to TriBeCa. Stepping off the boat, one says, "I'd love to cool down and walk through Battery Park, but do you think those insane people will be there yelling at everyone?"
PHOTOS: "Scenes from Occupy Wall Street," by Ariel Shearer
Soon enough, aristocrats won't be able to avoid Occupy — in New York or anywhere else — as police continue cracking whips and growing small movements into major mobs. Zuccotti Park is now a settled shantytown, complete with its own classrooms, junkies, trash collectors, and daily broadsheet. The occupation continues to expand well outside of this home base, too, multiplying in spite of several hundred arrests, and spinning off offensives all across the city. Yesterday they occupied Washington Square Park due north for a rally and concert.
Bongo jam sessions still echoing between my ears, I take Monday off to spend time with family back in Queens. It's supposed to be a day of rest, writing, and grandma's meatballs, which I'm grubbing when a fellow reporter calls me from the Rose Kennedy Greenway, where this adventure began.
"Looks like you didn't need to go to Wall Street to see the action after all," he says. "A good source just told me that police are about to show up in riot gear over here — in a few hours, all eyes will be on Boston."

What Animal-rights campaigner
Where Kent
I have cared about animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Hertfordshire, in a small town on the edge of the countryside. I would get upset if a moth got caught in the washing-up bowl, or if an insect got crushed in the garden. My aunt married a farmer, and we would visit her in Devon for holidays. It seemed absolutely perfect. It was only as I got older that I realised that these cows and pigs were being turned into food: that the ones you got to know on one visit wouldn't be there on the next.
When I was eight, I did a Save the Seal sponsored bike ride. I used to go carol-singing with my friends to raise money for animal-rights organisations, and I can't imagine how it sounded, because I'm a terrible singer. It used to really upset me when people said, "How do I know this will really go to charity", because I was so passionate about it and shocked that they didn't believe me.
I was a vegetarian by the age of 12, but didn't actually meet another vegetarian until I started university. When I got there I joined an animal welfare group, and within a couple of weeks, I was running it, because otherwise it was just going to fall apart. I didn't really want to do this for a living - I battled it for a while, because I would have liked to do something that didn't cause emotional upset every day of my life.
I've worked at Viva, Peta and now Animal Aid. Some people cope by immersing themselves in the horror, others by just switching off: I need to balance it by spending time with my friends, who are all vegan too, and the animals I've rescued. We have achieved a lot in the last few years - the fur ban, the ban on battery cages, the voluntary cosmetics ban - but it can never be enough and never fast enough.
I am astounded by animals and what they can show you. They have the right to a life free from pain and human interference.

About Us
Windlab is a private company with headquarters in Canberra, Australia and wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada, South Africa and the USA. Its major shareholders include two of Australia's leading venture capital firms: Innovation Capital and Lend Lease Ventures.
Proven Competitive Advantage
Windlab's key to success is the combination of experienced staff with advanced technology. Our WindScape™ technology has allowed us to identify literally hundreds of green-field wind farm opportunities at a desktop level, by wind mapping extensive territories across multiple continents to a 100m x 100m resolution with more than twice the accuracy of other industry tools. Windlab has investigated and secured the best of these opportunities and today is developing more than 50 projects with an unparalleled success rate. WindScape™ has allowed Windlab to achieve this rapidly whilst deploying only a fraction of the capital used by other international developers.
Working with Windlab
Windlab has a successful history of working closely with other organisations to deliver wind energy sites including Investec Bank, Australian Gas Light, GDF Suez (through Moyeng Energy in South Africa) and Cennergi (Joint Venture between Exxaro and Tata Power). These organisations have benefited from participating in high quality wind farm developments, with considerably less uncertainty and lower risk. Windlab concentrates on the pre-construction phase of wind farm development and is happy to align with long term equity owners by retaining either a long term royalty interest or significant minority equity position in projects post construction.

Moving "Dude" Fills Truck for Storm Victims
WINCHESTER, VA - Jon Eye of Mover Dudes, Inc. collected goods on Thursday to send to Hurricane Sandy victims. Eye says he got the idea from a customer whose family lost everything in the storm.
"She jokingly sent me a message and said 'hey, why don't you take one of your big trucks, fill it with food and take it up there,' and so I said ok," Eye says.
Eye says while many people stocked up on items to prepare for the storm, much of it did not go to use.
"Luckily, we didn't get hit as hard as others," Eye says. "So, why don't we just take some of the stuff that we purchased, in addition to what we normally need, and give it to people who need it."
The company is asking for donations of toiletry items, food, water and blankets to give to the victims. They're hoping to fill the truck to drive to Toms River, New Jersey, where the local high school is acting as an emergency shelter.
The Mover Dudes will be collecting items until 8 p.m. Thursday night. Eye will leave for New Jersey early Friday morning. You can donate at two locations in Winchester. One is located on 1520 Commerce Street and the other is on 625 North Loudoun Street.

The US and Britain are part of a debtor nation "ring of fire" where bondholders are at risk of being "burned to a crisp", the head of the world's biggest bond house has warned.
PIMCO's Bill Gross compared the UK and US to drug addicts who are hooked on debt and struggling to kick the habit.
His comments, in his monthly investment outlook, were part of a broader warning that the US would turn into Greece within a decade if it did not find $US1.6 trillion of savings "over the next five to 10 years".
Mr Gross referred to "the possibility of a fiscal train wreck over the next decade" in the US.
He said the US, with its high level of national debt and government borrowing, belonged in the "ring of fire" with Greece, Spain, France, Japan and the UK, where "only gold and real assets would thrive" unless spending was cut and taxes rose.
"The US and its fellow serial abusers have been inhaling debt's methamphetamine crystals for some time now, and kicking the habit looks incredibly difficult," he said.
Unless the US found $US1.6 trillion of savings "even ever so gradually over the next few years, then rating services, dollar reserve holding nations and bond vigilantes may together force a resolution that ends in tears. The damage would likely be beyond repair."

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. Beloved candy brand M&M's debuted its newest addition that has the perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors.
New M&M pretzel chocolate candies will be hitting store shelves this month and will be available for 79 cents for a single-size bag, $3.49 for medium-size bags, $4.99 for large-size bags and $8.99 for a 30-oz. stand-up pouch. Consumers were given a taste of the newest M&M creation in April through the brand's Facebook fan page, Mars said.
"Our fans have been clamoring for a salty and sweet M&M's snack," said Leah Dunmore, senior marketing director for M&M's at Mars Chocolate North America. "Since we aim to please taste buds whenever possible, we put a pretzel inside an M&M's for the first time ever. We're certain M&M's pretzel will add color and fun to any party this year."

USP vs P226
Just looking for pros and cons.
Anyone have experience with both?
Not set on 9mm or 40, but willing to listen to that as well.
Both great guns depends which fits you better imo. I chose the p226 elite dark. I'll get a usp tactical one day as well
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Bimmer App
I have a 226 in 9mm and a USP-Compact Tactical in .45. Both great guns. if you have more specific questions, I can try and help
I really like both, and both fit my hands well. I wasn't considering 45, rather 40 at the most for mostly target. Thanks in advance!
-combat proven reliability
-polymer frame is lighter
-external safety is in "1911 style" design, so easy to manipulate
-excellent trigger
-proprietary rail does not accept conventional picatinny weaponlights, so you need an adapter (SureFire makes one)
-Very expensive
-Large grip
-HK. Because you suck. And we hate you. (HK is known to have very poor customer support, and getting replacement parts is difficult)
Sig P226
-combat proven reliability
-metal frame is very strong
-no external safety, which aids simplistic/minimalist design
-hammer decock lever for safe decocking
-Some models have a picatinny style rail, which accepts conventional weaponlights
-metal frame is heavier, which is not always conducive to CCW
-long trigger pull is a problem for women and small-handed shooters
-Recent complaints with Sig rifles having poor build quality and reliability. Unknown if this is going to affect pistols (so far it does not appear to)
If for target, you're going to want a larger weapon for the longer barrel. If I remember correctly, the sights on USPs are adjustable (at least on the Tactical and the match) while those on the 226 are not adjustable as far as I am aware, so that might be a big consideration.
thanks to you both. i really like the p226 with the rail. i'll have to keep researching, but i'm leaning towards the sig.
I would also recommend looking at an HK P30 or P30L, or HK45.
I love my new Sig p229 :eeps:
I love my HK45
Look at the Compact version.
I have a P30 and prefer it to a Sig 226. I don't own a Sig 226 but I have used one extensively. I prefer the lighter frame of the P30 and the more comfortable grip (among a few other minor details). Parts are easy to get via internet (hkparts.net) but getting replacements directly from HK is next to impossible.
You definitely suck, and they definitely hate you, haha.
8 years working land & water based patrol in So Cal with my then department issued HK USP 45 and I had no complaints!
What a great sidearm to have on patrol. Sure there are some pros & cons to every firearm but that USP 45 felt great! Smooth double action (on first round) & single action thereafter, simple safety & de-cocker. Also very easy to maintain I a salt water environment as most metal frame firearms rusted over time.
Any who when I left my old department I had to leave my USP 45 behind. And although my new department made me switch to a Glock 21 (also a very good firearm) I still miss the days of my USP 45. That was one firearm I don't think I will ever forget!
I want a Walther PPS
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Bimmer App
Sent from my DROIDX using Bimmer App
I have a HK P30L 9mm and Sig P226 TacOps 9mm 20 round
Personally, I think the HK is a better shooter but the P226 TacOps is my SHTF handgun..if there is such a thing besides my HK Mark 23. That is by far, the most awesome shooting semi auto handgun I have ever owned.
I love the weight of the P226, I love the feel and accuracy of the HK P30L. Both are favorites of mine so win win.
I've always wanted a USP. Finally some variants have become MA compliant but I think it's only the 40cal. I'd really rather have the 9 if only for the cheaper ammo costs.

Oh, I just love a lightbulb moment. I was feeling uninspired by cooking beet greens again, 3rd day in a row. I was also uninspired to add them to a salad. I was cold. It was cold outside. I procrastinated with them in my fridge a couple of days. And then it occurred to me: CHIPS!
I'm going to make a call here: Better than kale chips. The flavour is so good. Something about them! May be it's that it's 'new'? Regardless, I look forward to seeing what you think. My family won't find out just yet as I ate them all.
Why should we always buy bunches of beets with their leaves in tact?
- Vitamin K goodness – great for keeping the blood clotting efficiently when healing wounds.
- Vitamin A – From 1 cup alone in combination with healthy fats for absorption of the A (which we've got sorted, given they're massaged in oil in this recipe) You get 220% of your Vitamin A / Betacarotene requirements.
- High in thiamin, zinc, folate, B6, potassium, Vit E, riboflavin
- They give you 15% calcium which works with the vitamin K to get those bones nice and strong and ward off things like Osteoperosis
- 15% iron for the day
- 60% vitamin C – HELLO!! Love how nature provides a winter veggie that gives us a vitamin so beneficial to us for winter immunity
- They even have 3g of fibre and protein per serve.
Not too shabby, right? So many synthetic vitamins consumed, and yet look at that unbelievable bounty available to us from nature! So on the days you don't fancy adding them finely chopped to your salads, or sauteed with butter or coconut oil as a side veggie, I bring you a new chip on the block (see what I did there?)
What you'll need
Beet leaves from one bunch (I trialed red and golden beet leaves and both are superb)
sea salt
macadamia oil or melted coconut oil, butter or ghee
2 oven trays (if you only have one, no dramas, it'll just be a little longer before you get to eat your little bowl full)
What to do
Coat your hands with your chosen fat. Then massage the leaves and once coated both sides, pop them on the tray with a good 1/2 inch spacing between them so there's air flowing and they get the chance to crisp up.
Sprinkle a tiny amount of sea salt (NOTE: Less than you normally would, as they will dehydrate, and therefore be less voluminous once cooked thus requiring less salt)
Bake for around 15 minutes or until crisp, on 180C (if your oven is fan forced, just check them from 10 minutes every couple of minutes until you get a feel for your oven's timing on these.
You're done. Enjoy these paper thin, melt-in-the-mouth crispy little bits of heaven!
- Add some nutritional yeast to the 'massage' for a cheesy twist
- Mix a teaspoon of pesto into the couple of tablespoons of fat you'll be using for the recipe, to get some pesto flavour through your chips
- Mix a pinch of ground fennel seed and 1/2 teaspoin lemon or lime zest into your fat of choice, and massage the leaves. AMAZING as a crunchy little something served with fish + veggies.
- Sprinkle a few chilli flakes on them for a kick!
Get your kiddies involved. Take the time. Crazy to think we ate pesticide sprays potatoes that were sent to factories, fried in inflammatory, processed vegetable oils, loaded with processed salt, packaged in plastic and then shipped around the world to be eaten for 10 minutes. Now, I'm not saying we should feel guilty for that occasional scoff at a birthday party or on a long distance trip. It's not about the odd time you do, it's about all the times we crowd out those choices with better ones. Celebrate the good stuff. Choosing to eat consciously allows you to appreciate the steps – or lack of steps – taken for the amazing food we nourish ourselves with. That kind of stuff just gets me so excited, how about you?
Please do come back here and let me know how you enjoyed them or what variations you came up with, or instagram tag me @Alexx_Stuart when you make yours.
Real Food. Happy bodies.

NUTRITIONAL SOURCE INFORMATION: mercola.com, nutritiondata.com
NOTE ON OXALATES: Beetroot leaves are moderate / high in oxalates. Cooking these chips brings that level down, however if you're concerned and are on a low oxalate diet, then these treats might not be the best for you.

Aus 49 Designs von 19 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Need a logo for a new website that shows people how to drive massive web traffic (mostly from web 2.0 sites).
Traffic Shockwave
I would like you to work on a logo for a brand new members-only
website (hasn't launched yet) that will show people how to drive
massive web traffic to any site or blog.
I already have one attempt you can look at:
I like how that looks... but the problem is the sphere logo
came from pixellogo.com and others are using it as well, so I
need something totally unique.
* Should be modern (somehow 2.0-looking)
* If possible include the "Traffic Generation Lab + Mastermind" tagline in the design.
* The blue I want used is R:53, G:104, B:181 + silvery or glassy-looking element.
* Logo must look good in different sizes (to be placed in banners, stationary and even on t-shirts/hats).
* Use sans-serif fonts only please
No lame logos ;)

Frightened parents jeopardise children's fitness with bans on sport
Page Tools
Fear of injury causes a quarter of NSW parents to ban or discourage their children from playing sport, according to research which concerns obesity experts and distresses football marketers.
The University of NSW studied almost 6000 parents and found that more than a third stopped their sons playing sport. The activities most discouraged were rugby league (23 per cent), rugby union (7 per cent), Australian rules (3 per cent) and soccer (2 per cent).
Football codes say the concerns are misplaced. An Australian Rugby League spokesman said the largest study on injury rates among Sydney junior players found only one injury per 450 games played, with three-quarters of injured children able to play the following week.
"Public perception and reality are vastly different," he said.
A spokesman for the Australian Rugby Union said: "This is hardly a new issue for us but the reality is, injury rates in the seven to 12 age group are negligible."
The research, published in The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, found only 16 per cent of parents of girls discouraged their playing sport.
Professor Caroline Finch, a co-author of the study and director of the NSW Injury Risk Management Research Centre, said she was surprised by this figure. Research usually showed parents were more concerned about the safety of their girls than their boys.
"Every study on stranger-danger shows [parents'] concern for girls is two to three times higher than for boys, while studies relating to road safety and cycling show the same for older children," she said. "But this study has turned this on its head."
Professor Finch said:
"The statistics show sports-related hospital admissions are topped by football codes, but this could just be because so many more people play these sports."
Assessing the activity levels of children banned from organised sport was of equal concern.
The executive officer for the Australasian Society for the Study of Obesity, Dr Tim Gill, said: "In terms of total physical activity, sport is only a small contributor, but there is a culture of physical activity which goes along with sport, and parents who don't encourage their children to play sport are probably not encouraging their children to be active in other ways either.
"This is not a finding which makes me thrilled," Dr Gill said.
"If these parents were taking it upon themselves to deliver other types of activity, then this is fine, but you have to question whether this is the case."

On January 17, 2013, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the long-awaited final rule modifying the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. The 563-page final rule modifies many aspects of HIPAA. Covered entities and business associates must comply with the new regulations by September 23, 2013.
The final rule includes changes mandated by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Enforcement Rules including:
Breach Notification
Breach notification requirements were also modified by the final rule. The final rule removed the "harm standard" found in the interim rule that limited notification obligations to those breaches that posed significant financial, reputational, or other harm to individuals. Now under the final rule, any disclosure of protected health information is presumed a "breach unless the covered entity or business associate, as applicable, demonstrates that there is a low probability that the protected health information has been compromised." As a result, the breach notification threshold has been effectively lowered.
Genetic Information
The final rule also modifies HIPAA as mandated by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) to prohibit genetic information from being used in the underwriting process by most health plans.
Important Dates
The final rule is effective on March 26, 2013, with compliance required by September 23, 2013. A dramatic increase in HIPAA enforcement and audit activity has been well-documented. The Office of Civil Rights Audit program protocol covers Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rule requirements that are impacted by the final rule. Covered entities' HIPAA policies and procedures should be updated to ensure compliance.
The experienced health care attorneys of Spencer Fane Britt & Browne LLP are available to assist covered entities and business associates with the necessary policy updates and other steps to facilitate compliance with the final rule.

Class on Campus
The real discovery at Silvio's, though, is the homemade pasta. Some pastas grace the regular menu while others show up on the monthly specials list; most are worth seeking out. One evening, four of us agreed that the potato gnocchi, bathed in butter and sage, were the best any of us had ever tasted--light, pillowy, and absolutely irresistible. We also couldn't stop slurping up the egg fettuccine with ragu, tender noodles tossed with a light yet flavorful sauce. After the cheese bombs of most American-style lasagnas, Catia's homemade vegetarian version was a revelation. Featuring multiple sheets of paper-thin egg noodles interspersed with equally thin layers of mushrooms and spinach, a trace of cheese, and a topping of olive-oily tomato sauce, it satisfied without overwhelming.
We were less fond of the Michigan mushroom ravioli, stuffed half moons of whole wheat pasta. Compared to the other homemade pasta, the whole wheat version was overly thick and tough, though we wiped up the last of the ravioli's rich nutty cream sauce with our bread. A real disappointment was the pasta with white clam sauce, which, while utilizing the same tender egg noodles as the fettuccine with ragu, was utterly devoid of flavor. Nor would I recommend the gluey, bland polenta.
Silvio's has a good hand with vegetables, and a simple side of mushrooms, peppers, eggplant, and onion, finely sliced and grilled, proved stunningly delicious, as did a special

There are three things you can count on in this world: death, taxes, and Twit Pic Sunday!

First off, Adam Lambert is traveling around Asia and is Tweeting about it all over the place! Hey Adam, can you just Tweet a photo of yourself everyday? Thanks.
Joe Jonas drinking out of a giant coconut makes me happy. I hope it's booze! Know what else me happy? Neil Patrick Harris posing with a giant photo of Walt Disney! Yeah, it happened. So what other awesomeness hit Twitter this week?
You've got Hilary Duff being all cute with her baby in the swimming pool. And Anna Kendrick showing off just how funny she is on Twitter. As we've discussed, she's really good at that.
Launch the gallery to check out all the best Twit Pics from the past week! And just in case you need anymore incentives: baby Channing Tatum. Did your favorite celeb make this week's gallery? Let us know in the comments!

Hi everybody
I have opened a dedicated to camera equipment classified website ( the only dedicated photography classified website in the UK ) and was wondering what the photographic world thought of the idea.....?
The idea was born after searching for a specific used lens for my Nikon DSLR and after not finding it on the popular auction site I had to trail through all the individual shop websites one by one ! As I was doing this (working in the motor trade) I thought to myself there should be an Autotrader for cameras shops etc. So I made one....with a little help.
Have a look please, and let me know what you think.
I am getting good response from shops as I call and explain the site, and as you will see they are starting to advertise items already, We launched this month and hope it will bring all the cameras, lenses, flashguns, filters, tripods, bags etc to one place, making it easier for people to find what they want.
Its free to register with just 2 pieces of information to join 1, email address 2, user name and you have to set up a password.
Then listing is easy and free until at least March. Even when we start charging it will only cost from 19p for 30 days with no buyers commissions or final fees. So a real cheap and effective way of selling your old and new camera stuff. If you want to try it out use pb100 as a promotional code to get it 100% free.
Thanks for reading and please let me know what your thoughts are good or bad !

Nice idea. Getting market share is going to be hard because I think I have run across a few sites before that do this also.
Guess it didn't work to well since it doesn't look like the site is up anymore.

text: Can a wedding guest wear cream colored dress? Wedding Etiquette Queen September 18, 2013 Uncategorized I recently bought a dress to wear to a wedding at the end of this month. I tried my hardest to find a simple black dress as I've heard its the best color to wear, but was unsuccessful. I ended up buying a simple cream-colored dress with a gold brooch. Ive been reading online and people say not to wear white because it will contrast with the bride. My question is, is my cream dress going to be acceptable??? Like I said, its pretty simple: It's layered, with a silk-like layer underneath and a mesh-like material over it, it goes slightly past my knees, is not strapless, and is not low cut. Im beginning to second guess my choice and I need reassurance! Rebecca Black, Etiquette By Rebecca Dear Fretting, No more hand-wringing. You are fine. The rule about white is just about history. We just wouldn't want to wear a white dress that could be a wedding dress. Actually, the only color we should stay away from these days is red. Red is a powerful color that draws the eyes. Enjoy the dress! Best wishes, Share this:FacebookTwitterGoogleLinkedInPinterestEmailPocketRedditTumblrPrint Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Girls are starting sex at ever younger ages – but boys, it seems, are not.
The trend, revealed in the annual Health Survey for England 2010, published yesterday, triggered claims about the "pornification" of British culture.
The survey found more than one in four women (27 per cent) aged 16 to 24 said they'd had sex before the age of 16 – the legal age for consent – compared with just over one in five men (22 per cent).
The proportion of women who say they had under-age sex has increased over the generations but the trend is "less clear" in men, the report says. One in 10 men and women aged 16 to 24 said they had had 10 or more sexual partners.
Diane Abbott, Labour's shadow Health Minister, said: "The underlying cause must be the 'pornification' of British culture and the increasing sexualisation of pre-adolescent girls.
"Too many young girls are absorbing from popular culture that they only have value as sex objects."
The authors warned that surveys of sexual behaviour are hard to interpret as responses are subject to exaggeration and concealment.Reuse content

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I used to work at Pizza Hut. I started off as a cook because I wasn't 18 yet and couldn't deliver, couldn't serve alcohol, so onto the line I went. I was the only female cook, but I really grew to love it. After all, I was young so I didn't even have to run the gigantic mixer and prep dough! Score 17 year old me! One of the big secrets behind the curtain that was revealed to me was the stuffed crust pizza mystery. I don't know WHAT my 17 year old self thought it was that they did to make this wonderful creation, but I never imagined it was as easy as stuffing a crust with string cheese. Well, in case you are anything like me, it is JUST that EASY! Try it sometime and never have your kids (or yourself) throw away your pizza crust again. Whip up some extra pizza sauce and use it for dipping. Get fancy and use some of that new flavored string cheese. Basil and sundried tomato sting cheese in my crust? Yes please!
This batch was just plain old part-skim mozzarella string cheese.
Start by mixing up a batch of dough. I have several great recipes for this on my site. They are all a little bit different, but equally good. Use whatever one suits you the best, or your current favorite.
Spread the dough out a little more than you normally would, and lay out your string cheese.
Now fold over the dough and press to seal well.
Par-bake the crust and then top with your favorite toppings. Finish baking as you would any crust, and then let cool for about 5 minutes before you cut and enjoy!

- toppings of your choice
- Prepare dough and spread out on pan. Place string cheese on it and fold dough over sealing the edges well.
- Half bake crust before topping it with your favorite sauce/cheese/toppings combination.

With Brevard's Integrated Studies program, you can design a degree that's as unique as you are. Our innovative faculty love to help you combine your passions and skills - Political Science and Communications, Theatre and Business, Wilderness Leadership and Psychology - to create your custom-made career path. Schedule a visit to Brevard to discuss the exciting possibilities!
Integrated Studies majors receive a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Integrated Studies. Students often choose to pair their Integrated Studies degree with Teacher Licensure to teach in elementary school, or pursue a special certificate program for early childhood education. Virtually any minor program can be combined with a major in Integrated Studies to round out your academic interests and increase your marketability to prospective graduate schools or employers. Some examples of these unique minors include Gender Studies and Leadership and Spanish Language and Culture.
Here's how some of our students have tailored the Integrated Studies program to fit their personal and career needs:
- Margaret researched the growing foster and homeless children population in Transylvania County and designed an experimental residential community to address their educational, emotional, and social needs in a sustainable and efficient way.
- Chantel used her interest in political communications to intern as a "mitigation specialist," which allowed her to work with people in the prison system to assess mitigating factors in their personal backgrounds that might reduce or revise their sentences.
- Jana combined her interests in Psychology, mountain biking, and Wilderness Leadership to design a wilderness adventure/therapy program for women with eating disorders.
- Lance applied his background in Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education to design a model program for Student Outdoor Leadership Development.
An Integrated Studies degree from Brevard can lead to careers in a variety of fields. Here's a small sample of the positions currently held by BC Integrated Studies graduates:
- Local Government Employee
- Program Developer for a Non-Profit
- Social Work Graduate Student
- Campus Minister
- Public Administration Graduate Student
"The design process for creating my Integrated Studies major was always collaborative and even felt entrepreneurial at times. It enabled me to put together a personalized program of study combining political communication, psychology and counseling with minors in pre-law, and theater. Brevard's program truly provided for the well-rounded academic experience that I was seeking."
- current Brevard student
