Guidebook Question.

Can some one list all the reasons why the guidebook is worth it for me? I might get it today that is why.

Re: Guidebook Question.
Nov 25, 2012
you mean the Prima Game Guide? It has some useful tips on how to use all the characters and maps, as well as all the unlocks and trophies, and some basic info such as jumping, dodging and ect. There are some bad points, though. The book can be fragile, to be acreful when turning the pages not to rip it. In addition, there are a good ammount of typos and I know 1 character's recomended super is completely wrong (They recommend Sackboy's level 1, when it's garbage.) They do tell you how you should use all the characters effectively, though, and have a small list of combos for you to try with each character.

I bought it and I'd say it's worth the $20. Has interesting combo concepts that help give me ideas for new characters and teaches me some stuff I wouldn't know otherwise, for example Raiden can run up walls by holding X! It also says the AP cost of each characters supers which is helpful. It's not perfect as the above poster commented, but overall I'd recommend it.

The paper presents a wide range of data on Mozambique and examines what this shows about changes to poverty and income levels over the past decade. The authors point to the lack of changes in farming practice which is contributing to the persistence of poverty and consider cash income and the poverty trap in Mozambique. The paper goes on to discuss the failure of donor-led development models and looks at Mozambique and other countries for alternative policies that might reduce poverty and raise agricultural production. Finally, the paper considers the arguments for and against a change of policy in the future.

Oooh, that smell!
1st Place in Derby #357: Meat, with 226 votes!
I saw a light in the field and walked towards it. Then, everything went blank. I awoke some time later - maybe an hour, a day, a week? I don't know. What I do know is that I was inside an alien spacecraft.
The first thing I noticed was the smell. It was like the locker room at a gym for smoked meats, a sauna frequented only by the kobe beef steaks, a hot car stuffed with nothing but delicious ribs. It was amazing - a hint of smoke, a hint of pepper, just a spritz of lime and onion, but not enough to make my eyes water. I wondered at that moment if I'd died and gone to Heaven on barbecue night. The odor was thick enough to eat, and I wanted to eat it! I wanted to eat whatever was making that smell so bad.
Oh, and there were aliens and tools and they did some stuff, blah blah blah. Look, you guys, the thing that really got my attention was the smell, okay?

The drug imatinib transformed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from a fatal disease to a chronic condition. However, imatinib must be taken lifelong, because it fails to kill a residual number of CML cells. New research, has now determined why these cells don't respond to imatinib -- they do not need the protein imatinib targets for their survival. Therefore, new approaches are needed if further advances are to be made in the care of CML patients.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was transformed from a fatal disease to a chronic condition by the development of a drug known as imatinib, which targets the protein that drives this disease (BCR-ABL).
However, imatinib does not cure patients, they must take the drug lifelong, as disease recurs if they stop taking it. This is because imatinib does not kill all the CML cells; some, which are known as CML stem cells, persist. A key to therapeutically targeting CML stem cells is knowing whether they rely on BCR-ABL to persist. Answers to this will determine whether more effective BCR-ABL inhibitors are likely to be effective treatments or whether new approaches to targeting these cells need to be developed.
A team of researchers, led by Brian Drucker and Michael Deininger, at Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, has now shown clearly that human CML stem cells do not depend on BCR-ABL activity for survival and are thus not eliminated by imatinib therapy. As noted by the authors and, in an accompany commentary, Alexander Perl and Martin Carroll, at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, the data indicate that therapeutics targeting BCR-ABL will not improve CML treatment and that new approaches are needed if further advances in patient care are to be made.

2012 SEC Women's Soccer Awards
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -Tennessee sophomore forward Hannah Wilkinson and senior defender Ali Hall have been tabbed for 2012 Southeastern Conference women's soccer awards, as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Wilkinson received first team All-SEC honors in her debut season with Tennessee (14-4-2, 9-3-1 SEC) and Hall garnered second team All-SEC accolades. Wilkinson and Hall become the 22nd and 23rd Lady Vols to receive All-SEC recognition (first or second team) in program history. Wilkinson is also the 14th UT player to be named first team All-SEC. Tennessee has 39 all-time first or second team All-SEC selections.
"Both Hannah and Ali are very well-deserving of this recognition," Tennessee head coach Brian Pensky said. "They've both had terrific seasons, and we are of course extremely happy for them. Hannah's goal scoring has proven vital to our team's season; and Ali's leadership and determination in the back has been instrumental in our team giving up just 13 goals in 20 games. And I'll tell you what - in addition to these two, we have a number of players who our coaching staff feels are worthy of SEC recognition, as we've had so many huge contributions from different people this fall."
Florida players Erika Tymrak and Holly King took Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively. Gators coach Becky Burleigh won Coach of the Year. Alabama's Merel van Dongen won Freshman of the year. Ole Miss' Rafaelle Souza and Missouri's Allison Hu were named Co-Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
Wilkinson enjoyed a terrific regular season, leading the SEC with eight goals and 17 points in conference play. Wilkinson joined the team five matches into the season. She had a busy summer, representing her home country of New Zealand in the 2012 London Olympics and the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan. Despite her late arrival, Wilkinson leads Tennessee in goals (eight), points (17), shots (48), shot percentage (.167) and match-winners (four). The Whangarei, New Zealand, native had a dominant weekend at Texas A&M (Oct. 19) and Ole Miss (Oct. 21), scoring the match-winners for Tennessee in both contests. For her heroics against the Aggies and the Rebels, she received the SEC Offensive Player of the Week, Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week, Soccer America Team of the Week and TSWA Women's Soccer Player of the Week accolades.
Hall has been the anchor of what is arguably one of the best defensive units in Tennessee soccer history. The senior center back has played the full match in 15 of UT's 20 contests, including the last nine, and has been the central figure in neutralizing the best scorer on opposing teams. Hall's physicality and defensive prowess on the back line have made Tennessee's defense one of the best in the nation. UT's season goals-against average of 0.63 ranks among the lowest in the country and second-best in the SEC. The Lady Vols have allowed just 13 goals the season and have a chance to beat the program record of 18 set back in 2003 and tied in 2004. Earlier this season, Hall and the UT defense set a new program mark for longest shutout streak, holding opponents without a goal for 533:22, a stretch that ran from Aug. 19 to Sept. 9 and included parts of six games. Hall was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 8 after playing the full 180 minutes of Tennessee's shutout road wins over 2011 SEC regular season champ South Carolina and defending SEC Tournament champ Auburn.
Third-seed Tennessee heads to Orange Beach, Ala., on Tuesday to prepare for its Wednesday afternoon match against sixth-seeded Auburn (11-9-0, 7-6-0 SEC). The match will be streamed live online at SECDigitalNetwork.com at 3:30 p.m. ET. The winner of that match plays the winner of Texas A&M vs. South Carolina or Arkansas on Friday at 5 p.m. ET and that contest will be broadcasted on ESPN3. The SEC Championship is on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

Sometimes, drinking responsibly requires the efficient transfer of precious liquor. So when you need some (portable) liquid confidence, fill your favorite flask with the help of this industrially designed funnel. Made from stainless steel, it's engraved with the helpful reminder, "Dont waste a drop."
As expected from a funnel, this device will help you to pour things into a small opening without spilling anything. It does have one feature that I hadn't considered though! When you pour your beverage into the funnel after setting it in a flask, the lip of the flask forms a seal with the base of the funnel. The funnel will fill without draining through until you slightly raise/tip the funnel (thus breaking the seal). I like this because it allows me to measure how much I'm pouring into the flask. Depending on the occasion, I might not want to fill my flask to full capacity. If that isn't a concern for you, that detail might be an annoyance. If so, just lift the funnel a bit while you're pouring and the beverage will go in without delay.5
I used this for my wedding, as I got all my groomsmen flasks. It was a smart purchase and it worked well. It disappeared over the course of the evening, but my Best Man found it kicking around, no work for the wear. A metal funnel is hard to screw up, and they certainly didn't do that.5

I notice there is also a lot of people that say the race exhaust is ricey sounding It's hard to tell from a video but on their website the only difference I hear between the race and the stealth is the race is a bit louder is that really the only difference?
Use a sawall or hack saw to get the old system off. The fwerk's system is easy bolt on. It'd be great if you can use a rack. If not jack up the car & use 4 good jackstands. Try and get it 3'-4' off the ground. Theres a reason for the fwerks exhaust system= it fits & works great. Are you going to add a header? You have a 4 cylinder motor & you can only do so much w/ the exhaust. So as far as your saying the race exhaust is ricey sounding= yeah it is. Go for the stealth system & enjoy the drive.

Marty Turco starting to look the part for Bruins
|03.20.12 at 7:01 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Marty Turco took the ice at Ristuccia Arena Tuesday wearing brand new bright gold pads. They certainly match his Bruins' uniform better than his old shiny gold ones, but why get new pads when you've only got a few weeks left with a team?
For starters, as Turco pointed out, "These aren't your dad's [pads]" — meaning the technology with equipment these days means they can be broken in with just a few practices. More importantly, he got them because he's determined to make the most of the rest of the season with the Bruins.
The backup goaltender, who was signed following Tuukka Rask's injury and cannot be on the playoff roster, is determined to show that his second appearance and lone start with the B's — a disaster in Tampa in which he allowed four goals on 12 shots — isn't indicative of what he brings to the table. With another week practicing with the team and working with goaltending coach Bob Essensa, Turco feels more up to speed with the NHL after playing part of the season in Austria.
"As much as I'd like to make an excuse for the Tampa Bay game, the beginning, I feel probably better conditioned now, but that really had nothing to do with the Tampa game," Turco said. "Not much has changed — just keeping getting caught up with the speed of the game as quick as guys get on you. I think that's the main thing. As much as I'd like to change stuff in that game and really produce and play great, I know how good I felt. I just have to tidy up a few things. I believe that goes with every day, and it's nice to work with Bob a few times here."
Claude Julien has seen the work that Turco's put in, and the coach sees a goaltender who's better positioned to handle NHL competition than he was before.
"There's no doubt," Julien said. "When he's been facing the kind of shots that he's been facing now for an extra week, he keeps getting better. I think that's why he's putting in the extra time. He wants to get his timing on. The timing here vs. the timing where he was is not the same, [as] you've got the best shooters in the world playing in this league."
While the Bruins would like to get Tim Thomas rest wherever they can down the stretch, Turco has been putting in extra work after practices. With back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday against the Kings and Ducks, respectively, the opportunity is likely there for Turco to get a start during the Bruins' upcoming road trip. While Turco isn't sure when he'll next be called upon to play in a game, he's doing what he can to be prepared to turn in a better result than last time.
"When I'm not playing, that's part of the gig in order to be sharp," he said. "We're going on a California trip where we have three teams a point in, a point out. '¦ You expect some work anyway. To prepare and work to not expect work is probably not a good thing. It wouldn't be helpful at all, so I'm putting in the work. More than anything, I'm enjoying seeing shots from these guys, just getting back up to speed and continuing to challenge myself and challenge them.
"It's fun, but at the end of the day I realize my position here is not as long you'd like, but it's still a good opportunity for me, and I don't want to disappoint these guys."

Hit and run driver arrested in Monument
MONUMENT, Colo. - Police arrested a man early Tuesday morning after officers say he crashed his pickup truck then fled the scene.
Around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Colorado Springs Police Department received a report of a traffic accident on Garden of the Gods Road near I-25. The suspected driver involved in the crash had fled the scene.
When officers arrived, a lifted, red pickup truck with Wyoming plates was seen getting back onto the interstate northbound at Garden of the Gods Rd. This matched the description of the suspect vehicle and officers followed it onto I-25.
Officers tried to pull the man over at I-25 and Baptist Road. The driver initially stopped his truck but took off again, police said. Police stopped pursuing him because of road conditions.
State Patrol stepped in at this point and tried to stop the truck in Monument. The truck continued north until it finally exited on County Line Road. The truck eventually crashed off of County Line Rd and the driver was arrested.
The driver, who has not been identified, was charged with multiple traffic charges including eluding.

An Unholy Alliance (1996)
by Susanna Gregory
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The 2nd Matthew Bartholomew historical whodunnit. Still falls short on character development, plot & depth of historical detail.
Read Nov 2005
The first two thirds of the book dragged and then the last third imroved greatly. I wasn't wild about the first Bartholomew book and this one wasn't all that much better. I'm still undecided as to whether to continue the series.
Realised I haven't read the latest few of these, so am working my way through to them in order. Book 2. Poor Matthew Bartholomew, all he wants to do is get on with teaching his students his slightly unorthodox methods of treating patients and he gets dragged off to solve two mysteries. They appear to be related, but in fact it is two, and that only becomes apparent right at the end (which I wont give away). As previously, the largeer than life Brother michael is also tasked with solving the mystery of how a friar broke into the University stong box and got himself killed and then locked in the chect. oops. the second concerns a series of prostitute murders, but also the murder of a young woman who came to Bartholomew for help, only to find herself dead the next night. Via a series of poisioned locks, a miserable clerk and some cloth wagon stealing, our two slightly inept detectives do actually sort it all out. They really ought to work out who to trust, rather than discussin the case with all and sundry, including the clerk, who's up to his armpits in it!
2nd in the Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles. Reminiscent of Humberto Ecco's Name of the Rose, I think, but not as good. I found the book an easy, fast read, but was getting pretty bored with it by the end. Like much historical fiction, I found it an easy entry into the period (of which I know virtually nothing).
An improvement on the first book; I like the continuum from the first with the society still recovering from the effects of plague. Whilst the plot is sound I just can't get on with the writer's style.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0751519359, Mass Market Paperback)
In 1350, Cambridge lies ravaged by the Black Death. Crime flourishes too—three harlots are found with slit throats and branded feet, a friar dies rifling a strongbox full of college chronicles, and the Vice Chancellor of the University vanishes from his sick chamber with all its furnishings. Now the Chancellor calls on the deductive skill of Matthew Bartholomew, Master of Medicine. Busy enough already with the teaching and practice of new techniques, Bartholomew welcomes the investigative help of portly Brother Michael—a shrewd and merry monk, not unduly shocked by sins of the flesh. And soon—from an exotic poison to a surge of devil worship, from a grisly exhumation to a sweetheart's dying words—they are on a tangled and perilous trail of conspiracy and obsession.

The Art Monestary Project
Picture it: Italy, 2007. In the green hillside of Calvi dell'Umbria sits a cherished 17th century Baroque convent. A group of artists, dedicated to their passion for finding new ways to communicate and collaborate, have come together to create, imagine, inspire and tend the walled garden that grows their food. At the end of the day, they meet together to sing a Gregorian chant before bedtime. Sounds a little too good to be true, doesn't it?
This idyllic "life as art vision" is about to be realized by The Art Monastery Project. Soon Californian artist couple Christopher Fülling and Betsy McCall will lead 30 artists to Italy and bring this dream to reality. Over the next few years they hope to build a community of artists and musicians, allowed to live in the monastery in exchange for renovating and caring for the property. Those retreating there, both visitors and long-term residents, will share a regular schedule (not unlike the convent's former residents) designed to focus their minds and add fuel to their creative fires.
After searching 25 locations in Italy, there were formally invited by the Mayor of Calvi dell'Umbria to use the convent following a June 2007 visit of 30 artists that included a concert in the town's oldest church, dancing in the piazza, and a great deal of wine.
McCall says their goal is to foster "an intentional community where the depth of collaboration and vitality of discussion produces genuinely transformative art." Wow.
If it wasn't for my lease (and job"¦ and goldfish"¦), I'd be heading for the Alitalia terminal right now.

The Hidden Enemy Sandy Left Behind
Almost 11 months after Sandy, the corrosive effects of saltwater remain a very real danger. And that's had an effect on all kinds of local infrastructure, from the boardwalks in seaside towns in New Jersey to the subway lines in Manhattan.
In New Jersey, the bay and ocean washed into thousands of homes and businesses. Salt water was the smoking gun linked to the fierce fire that destroyed more than 50 boardwalk businesses on the Jersey Shore last week. The fire started underneath Kohr's Frozen Custard stand, which rented the space from Biscayne Candies. Fire investigators said that the building's wiring, which dated back to the 1970s, was likely corroded by Sandy seawater.
"This wire could have failed on its own, but certainly this wire came in contact with water and sand as a result of Sandy," said Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato.
Salt water flooded out thousands of properties beyond the boardwalks as well, which could become dangerous for unsuspecting property owners.
"Wiring in this area was flooded with salt water," said Rocco Compitello, an electrical inspector licensed by New Jersey. He said that salt water breaks down copper and aluminum wiring, causing it to corrode, and weakening electrical connections.
"People get that false sense of security that so long as everything is working, everything is fine, but in reality the connections are starting to corrode," Compitello said.
Electrical experts like Compitello have been urging property owners to replace any electrical wiring that was submerged in salt water. In addition, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs sent residents a letter that offered guidance in replacing electrical components damaged by the storm. It said all equipment and outlets that had been submerged during Sandy "must be replaced."
Salt water flooding during Sandy has also affected the MTA subway trains and tubes in New York City, leading to major closures this year. The MTA needed to close two underground subway tunnels for long-term repairs: the R train beneath the East River is closed for 14 months and the G train tube between Brooklyn and Queens is closed for 12 weekends.
"The issue of latent failures will affect anything that saw a large amount of salt water," said MTA Chairman and CEO Tom Predergast. "We have seen an increased frequency of failures, it has effected an increase in delays, and we're spending time and money to be able to make those repairs and keep that service operating."
Prendergast added that the MTA might eventually have to shut down the tubes carrying the 2, 3, A and C lines between Brooklyn and Manhattan for repairs. But those closures, he said, are expected to be overnight closures only.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I recently needed to move from Austin Tx to Southern California for a job. I thought I would use a small local business to help support them. That was my first mistake. The second mistake was to call One World Van Lines. They came to the house and gave me a quote based on the items we discussed. As it turns out there were a few extra items I wanted to bring, I called and discussed this with Geoff, he raised the price as expected and I agreed to the increase, so far so good. Come moving day the price went up by $650. Since I was already in California there was little I could do (I had my vision impared 19 year old son helping on the Austin end) however I did ask why the huge price increase. I was told by Geoff that it was for supplies (they provided 3 boxes and maybe a whole roll of tape). I argued and he agreed to drop the price to a mear $550!
At that point they stored my stuff ($200 a month) while I looked for a place to live. 2 month later I asked they to bring my stuff out to CA. They did that, at least most of my things and this is where the real problem is; they did not deliver the top to my dining room table, the top to my desk, any of the shelving for my shelves, or the top piece of my bed headboard, and who knows what else! I am still finding stuff missing as its hard to put things away with no horizontal surfaces to put things down on! So I called and emailed the office manager Penny.
She was responsive and replied the next day that she had the guys search the warehouse and they coundn't find my stuff. Since then I have written to her, Geoff and Ibriham formally reporting that my belongings are missing, exactly what is missing, and asking what they intend to do. No answer, no response, no acknowledgement that they received the email. I've sent them a photo of the inventory listing the missing items, no response. This is a company that charges $650 for a few boxes and some tape when they have you in a position where you need their services however don't respond to multiple emails and phone calls when they mess up your (very expensive) move by losing your belongings. Don't give them a dime of your money

dirt over grass ?
it looks like i am going to have a BUNCH of dirt to get rid of. i do have some low spots in my yard that i would like to raise/level. can and how can i put this dirt in my yard without damaging the grass ? i can do it over time.
For sure you can add small amounts of soil over sod and the sod will grow through. But depending on how much you have to get rid of, I'd be more inclined to just fill up the spots in one go. Add seeds when they are warm enough to germinate and be done with the whole process in 10 days.
Depends on what you mean by dirt.
Fill dirt will not grow grass.
oh. while leveling the yard would be nice. most of the reason for this thread, is that i am looking for an economical = free, way to get rid of this dirt. filling my garbage can, (like i did with the plaster i had from the walls/ceiling) would take a long time to get rid of.
Depends on how much there is of it.
I see it all the time on Craigs list.
I have a local constrution company that lets me dump all the broken bricks and block and dirt that he turns around and sells a clean fill.
But i have to get it to him.
While you can shim up the lawn with it, it'll need to be amended to support grass growth...
there is about 12x12x3'. and it would be removed over time. 2 buckets at a time .
while digging it out, how could(?) i tell where the top soil is and the sub soil begins ?
i just looked on CL. i see nothing about free/wanted dirt/soil. that could be a good thing, or a bad thing.
Around here the topsoil is a richer darker colour then the subsoil, which also starts to get pretty rocky.
If it was me I'd go ahead and give the seeds a try. If they don't germinate you can always amend it like suggested
ok, what is this amending thing ?
It means to enrich the soil with whatever it needs. I just use manure for a fix all as it works very well for me. If the soil was very hardpacked and clay one could use peat moss and maybe some fertilizer.
Test the soil for structure with a jar and water as you dig. It's easy. How much dirt you can cover with at one time often depends on the grass species. I know of one warm season grass that if it was covered with 2 ft. of soil now it would be recovered by mid summer. Check with a professional like your county extension service. And we hope your extension agent is a little better than Hank Kimball. :laughing:
In my younger days I had 2 or 3 truck loads of top soil delivered to fill and level some of the low spots in my back yard. I just ended up with different low spots elsewhere in the yard. :laughing: Do you have room to make a raised bed garden with the dirt?
the excavation is now under way. there is broken blocks, hunks of concrete & asphalt, wood, cans/bottles, and some rubble. seems it was a bit of a dumping spot for someone. anyway, this is going to take me a good while to finish, as i am going to do it in between other projects.

Something To Ponder
I've been sittin' here since 3:00 am reading posts and drinkin'(coffee-HAHA), but this just popped into my caffeine laden brain, thought I'd throw it out there. I live and hunt in Illinois, and for years I have always found this hunting law we have to be strange, to say the very least. We have to use shotguns and slugs for deer hunting. Which is fine, I love my slug gun, especially with the high-tech stuff that's come out in the last 10 yrs or so. And I understand the population thing, you don't need rifle bullets flyin' around where pop's are more dense. But here's the deal. So you deer hunt in a spot for a week-end, you finish up Sunday evening. You put your slug gun away. But on Monday morning, it is PERFECTLY LEGAL to go right back to the exact same place you just deer hunted the day before and coyote hunt with a 300 Win Mag or whatever other high-powered weapon you want!!! Isn't that a kick!For the life of me, I will never understand that thinkin'. I know they probably feel that with more people in the field during a deer weekend it is safer, but there are people out there all the time, regardless. Thought some of you might find this interesting-
Have a NICE Holiday Weekend!!!
Tom L
Considering the last 'famous' politician to come out of the state of Illinois, I wouldn't put anything past your state legislators . . . . . . <grin>
Maybe it's because there are way more active deer than coyote hunters and the deer/coyote hunting tactics are slightly different where you can't really do coyote drives and stalk coyotes like deer. IDK just a thought.
Yeah rader, you most definitely have a valid point there about our illustrious politicians. TG, your input on this makes sense, except when everyone is wearing blaze orange in deer gun season, you can see that orange for a mile, even in the timber. Coyote huntin' in camo, you won't know if someone is in the next piece of timber or not.
with the upgrades to shotguns and slug ammo I dont really see much differance,except for a much bigger chunk of lead going 150-200yds.scopes for shotguns,rifled barrels and sabbotted slugs that travel further and faster.I could understand it more back with older shotguns.26" smooth bore barrel with bead site and just chunkin a punkin ammo at 50-75yds at best.Its the same deal with the new MLs.I have heard talk that here in Fla. that there fixin to put a hurtin on the ML guys.Most will be stuck with a rifle they cant use anymore,because they have gone way beyond what was intended and the kill ratio during ML had gone way up
I couldn't have said it BETTER H-billy, when you put a rifled barrel on a shotgun, you no longer have a shotgun, now you have a 12 gauge rifle. And as far as the ammo being slugs,nonsense, these things are 50 caliber jacketed, either tipped or hollow point rifle bullets. The muzzleloader deal you talked about in Florida will probably happen, mostly due to the fact that the state biologists might be thinkin' that the yearly harvest is growing too rapidly, maybe due to the increased efficiency of modern day MLs. I know that many states out west, like Washington, for example, you could only have steel open sights(that changed to allow fiber optic) no scope, no 209 primer ignition, and NO SABOT AMMO!! And NO jacketed bullets, pure lead only. They say that by imposing these restrictions they can issue more tags for the "primitive weapons season". I can see that reasoning, lets more people have tags. But I think it also leads to more crippled and not recovered game too. Anyway, I like your take on the "slug guns"!!
In Washington you are actually allowed to use sabots.
chicago politicians!!!
That's why.
Ponder this
It is illegal to use any center-fire rifle cartridge for deer in Illinois. yet the DNR sharpshooters use rifle for the CWD program. And I would bet I am a better rifle shot that 99% of them. also, consider this. you cannot shoot deer with a .243 from an elevated position (shooting downward), but you can shoot squirrel using a .300 win mag a .270 a 30-06 or whatever you heart desires, shooting into the trees where the projectile is likely to travel much further down range than it would had you been hunting deer. granted, great consideration would come into play before a hunter would use such a rifle for squirrel, but we are not talking about ethics, we are talking about what is legal and can be done by the book in Illinois without question.
DVW, thanks for clarifying my facts about the ML ammo, I figured I might get part of it wrong. I have a brother-in-law who has lived in White Salmon(just across the river from Hood River) for the past 30 yrs, he told me about the rules governing the prim. weaps season a long time ago. I'm with you, but I would say make it entirely one way or the other way. Good take on the "sidestepping", changing an in-line just enough to satisfy the prim. weaps. rules. Good take by you too Predator, when it comes to tryin' to understand their justification about what weapon is ok for what. I see you are from Belvidere, is that up by the Wisconsin line?? I'm 20 miles east and a touch south of Joliet, then 17 miles from the Indiana line. But my deer huntin' is 280 miles south of here.

Ordered Raspberry Ketone/Green Coffee/Garcinia Cambogia from a pitch on Women's Heath (http://www.womanshealthmag.us/usdiet6.html?usdiet6)
They don't include the fact that Dr. Oz recommends pure Raspberry Ketone and no fillers or additives, which they include in spades.

[continued below]....
When I called to get the RMA Number, I was told
When I protested that I had the written return policy in my emai the operator just talked over me and ignored my protests.
With the return policy they also informed me that I was enrolled in another auto bill program (Much to my Surprise) and that it had to be cancelled also.

They gave me the RMA # for the Raspberry Ketone, and the Cancellation Number for the Trim Trainer.com I didn't even know I had, but I'm furious over the change in the return policy, from the written policy I received moments before talking to the customer service people.

Earlier this month we got to see a cute (if a bit odd) video of Colin Farrell on Sesame Street and today we get to check out a new vid of hottie Jude Law on Sesame Street. Jude and some Muppet friends teach kiddies about the word "cling" in this cute new video:
Jude Law acquired a new set of friends when he made a guest appearance on Sesame Street. The 38-year-old actor met a monkey, a mouse and an octopus as he taught viewers of the kids TV show the word 'cling'. 'The word "cling" means to stick to. I'd love to show you "cling" but I have nothing here that I can cling to,' Law said as he appeared on screen. Right on cue a yellow monkey arrived and clung to the Alfie star's right leg, a blue mouse grabbed his right leg and a purple octopus appeared over his shoulder. 'Why are you all clinging to me?' he asked. 'Because we love you Jude Law,' the trio said in unison.
OMG … so cute. Yeah, I wouldn't mind clinging to Jude either ;) After the jump, check out video of Jude Law's appearance on Sesame Street in full …
Love it. You can tell this segment was filmed some time ago … before Jude grew out his famous Jude'stache for Sherlock Holmes 2. Facial hair or not, Jude looks very cling-worthy in this cute clip … don'tcha think?

Ashley Cole mocked Man City with 'Thursday night, Channel 5' chants
Ashley Cole sparked a tunnel fracas with Manchester City players in the recent game between the two sides by mocking the club's Champions League exit.
Chelsea won the game between the Premier League title rivals 2-1, and afterwards players were reported to have squared up to each other in the tunnel, with Cole being the instigator.
The home fans at Stamford Bridge had taunted their opponents with cries of 'Thursday night, Channel Five' during the game, referring to the fact that City's Champions League group stage exit means they will play in the Europa League, which is broadcast on Five.
As City boss Roberto Mancini and his coaching staff remonstrated with referee Mark Clattenburg in the tunnel after the match, Cole reportedly walked passed and shouted 'F****** have some of that!', and then repeated the fans' chant.
An eyewitness told the Mirror: 'It was more indignation and a bit of antagonism than anything else, certainly not serious.
'But it was obvious Cole was trying to wind the City players up after what the Chelsea players felt was a really big win for them.'
As well as failing to award a penalty to Manchester City in the first half for an apparent foul on David Silva, Clattenburg also failed to send off City's Yaya Toure for kicking and slapping Juan Mata.
However, as Clattenburg admitted he saw the incident, the Football Association will not be taking retrospective action against the midfielder.

Santa Cruz investigators in Tichelman case head to Georgia
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Santa Cruz investigators are headed to Georgia Tuesday morning to meet with authorities in regard to the case involving the alleged high-end call girl accused of playing a part in the drug overdose death of a Google executive last November.
Georgia authorities have reopened a case involving the death of a former nightclub owner who dated Alix Tichelman.
Tichelman is accused of injecting Forrest Hayes, a married father of five, with heroin in November and leaving him to die.
Police say Hayes died of an overdose on a Santa Cruz yacht.
Investigators believe Tichelman could be behind the death of her former boyfriend and nightclub owner in Georgia who died under similar circumstances in September of 2013.
Tichelman, 26, pleaded not guilty to all eight counts, including felony manslaughter.
A felony manslaughter charge carries a possible maximum sentence of 11 years in prison, according to California law. Tichelman also faces a number of drug-related charges.
Tichelman will be back in court on October 20th to set a date for a preliminary hearing.
She is being represented by the public defender's office.

After Joba Chamberlain's trampoline injury to trump all trampoline injuries, there was much doubt as to whether the Yankees pitcher would be able to pitch this season or even again in his career. Chamberlain suffered an open dislocation and torn ligaments in his right ankle while playing with his son. And while examinations revealed no microfractures, doctors are still keeping an eye on whether any infections develop. Meanwhile, the Yankees are remaining optimistic (perhaps overly optimistic) that Chamberlain can return to pitching in July at the earliest.
"That's the optimistic side," Yanks GM Brian Cashman said Saturday, according to MLB.com. "The way I work this stuff, my mindset is, until they're close to knocking on the door, I [don't worry about it]. Obviously, in Joba's case, it's still a question of when he comes back. I just hope we're in a position where he can come back."
Manager Joe Girardi has a more hopeful tone.
"Well, if you're talking July 1 to July 15 to July 25, there's a big difference there," he said. "He's going to be in a cast, I think, for six weeks. Then you start rehabbing. Six weeks is going to take you to, what, May 10? So I don't necessarily think that's out of the question."
Keep in mind this is just talk about getting him back to pitching off a mound, not throwing in a game. The club already expected to be without Chamberlain until June as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. This new injury is obviously a major setback for him, given that the right ankle is on his push-off leg. Right now, it's probably best not to speculate when he'll return until he actually gets back to walking on his own.

|Re: st: Collinearity in 2SLS
|Thu, 15 Sep 2005 23:16:29 +0100 (BST)
Tinna, I don't think you have a collinearity problem, strictly speaking. Rather, it sounds like you have a scaling problem that could be causing you numerical problems with your estimator. When you say the instrumented coefficient in the second stage is "blowing up", do you mean that the estimated size of the coefficient is very large (several+ orders of magnitude) compared to the other coefficients? Then you could indeed have a scaling problem. The way to find out (and to deal with the problem, if it exists) is to rescale your endogenous variable. Just create a new variable that is 1000 or whatever times your original variable, and use it in the regression instead. Your excluded instruments and other variables might need rescaling too. It's easy enough to work out what to do once you see what is going on. Hope this helps. Cheers, Mark > Dear Statalisters, > > I am running 2SLS estimations.

Anyway you're probably wondering what the hell I've been doing with myself for the past week! Well, I was 'given' my elephant last Monday - her name is Somaliya, she's quite an old girl and only has half a tail but is very cute! Apparently she's the most adopted elephant by visitors to MEF don't you know! So I'll be helping her mahout look after her every morning for the month I'm here. Each elephant has their own mahout, who shouts commands which the elephant has been trained to obey - they also have big sticks in case the elephant chooses not to obey - mostly used just to threaten them with though! One thing about Somaliya is very cool though - she hates to lie down... Sounds random, but basically one of our main jobs is to help the mahout wash the elephant, and to do this they get taken into the river and have to lie down while you scrub the crap off them with a coconut shell. But as Somaliya refuses to lie down I get the privilege of climbing onto her back, riding her down to the river and scrubbing her from on top, which is v fun! The first time I did it was just the most amazing experience - some of the others had been there two months and were extremely jealous as they hadn't yet had one ride on their elephant! Also rather scary - she's not the shortest and its pretty damn high up there! Especially as I climb on while she's going down the steps, which is rather a jerky process with her arthritis and even now still involves me squealing with every step, feeling like I'm going to fly straight over her head! Getting down afterwards is even more interesting and usually ends up with me sliding down her leg clinging on to an ear and landing on my arse in the river while the mahout pisses himself laughing! Washing her involves me getting absolutely soaked, through a combination of her squirting copious amounts of water with her trunk (known as an 'elephant shower') and the mahout chucking buckets over the both of us as well
The mahout's pretty cool though - a v friendly old guy called Bandar - he's constantly happy and smiling, which is lovely if you can ignore the fact that his teeth (those he has anyway) are disgustingly rotten and stained red from the paan he's always chewing! He wears a variety of sarongs combined with an array of strange sparkly belts over which his topless belly protrudes. His English isn't great - his response to most things I say is 'Ok no problem madam' and he is a bit barmy - although we did catch him sneaking a shot of arrack (potent local Sri Lankan drink) in the bar at like 8.30 in the morning the other day, which may explain some of it!!
As well as helping with our elephants, we also teach kids at a local temple every day. Well I say teach... The two 18-year old guys who've been here for a while have got them used to their style of 'teaching' which I'm not quite convinced by; they stick a few white boards up with sentences and stuff written on, the kids copy it blindly even though for half of them it goes straight over their heads as they cant speak a word of English, and the other half its far too simple for; then the rest of the lesson they run riot, shouting, throwing things and smacking each other
Anyway, enough of that - just to give you an idea of my life here - my daily routine goes something like this:
7.30am - go down to clean out Somaliya's bed - this does involve some dung-throwing but we get gloves so its not too bad - they do crap a lot though and its damn heavy!! The wee smells worse though - its like an absolute waterfall every time they go and I have to mop away a whole days' worth every morning!
About 8.30am - prepare the elephants' medicines - as they're mostly quite old creatures they all have their own special concoction of drugs and vitamin supplements, which we put into a dough ball to feed them.
9am - breakfast at the restaurant - best meal of the day!
9.30am - vet check - each elephant comes up in turn and we sweep their feet and check for any wounds, the vet gives them any medicine they need then we feed them their dough ball
About 10.30 or-whenever-we-can-be-arsed - gardening. Yuk, not my favourite activity! Although I think Mr Kuru the farmer has pretty much given up on me being of any use in the garden and usually assigns me to the weeding as that's all I'm capable of!
12 - Wash Somaliya.
1.30ish - Lunch.
2-4ish - Piss about or often help out with random things that we get told to do!
4-5pm - Teaching at the temple down the road.
7pm ish - Dinner.
And then more pissing about til we get bored and go to bed!
So although we do often get roped in to helping with any other random activities that people need help with; like office work, visiting local places in the community etc; we generally get lots of free time to chill and sunbathe etc (yay!). And we have the weekends free to do whatever we like - the weekend just gone we went to Negombo, a place north of Colombo where we spent our time relaxing on the beach which was gorge! :o) Its really relaxed out here - the guys in charge, Sara and Sunil, are really cool about everything - also so helpful in arranging stuff like transport for us and helping out with things
So yeah its all going really really well out here - am still majorly appreciating just having people (normal people at that!) around me, after all that time alone in India! It definitely makes things so much easier - for example we have a bit of a rat problem in our kitchen, which we all just laugh and joke about - and I keep remembering how utterly freaked out I was when I discovered a mouse in my backpack in my room in Dehradun but had no-one to tell about it! Very sad but hey! And it is pretty amazing spending so much time with elephants and being able to get so close to them and actually get to know their personalities and become intimate with them. I'm certainly glad I came here, I'm having a wicked time so far and hopefully the next three weeks will continue to be fantastic!
So I think that's me for now - I'm sure there's tons of stuff I've left out but never mind, guess it can keep!
Til next time I have time/can be arsed to write another one (the internet is unbearably slow here!) Miss you all, but its not too long now - less than three weeks aaaahhh!!!
Hugs and kisses,
Han/Mo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :oP

How do you tell the difference between an extrovert programmer and an introvert programmer?
The extrovert programmer looks at your shoes when talking to you.
Like all the best jokes, this familiar one is funny because it has a core of truth. And, my fellow testers and others, it isn't just the programmers in our business (nor even just the introverts) who can feel less than adept socially.
Many of us are online every day on social and professional networking sites, assiduously exchanging ideas, photos, job information, and social nothings with people we know well and others we've never met face to face and probably never will. For us geeks, online networking is easy-but actually going out and meeting people can be much harder. Whether you're just beginning your career or an established professional contemplating going independent for the first time, you need to have a well-developed professional network, not only online but also in person.
If you find the idea of face-to-face "networking" intimidating, you might find it helpful to reframe and think instead of "building a network." That means making real human connections that you nurture over time, rather than superficially working a room or simply swapping business cards with strangers. You build a lasting network slowly, one person at a time.
Start by thinking about what you want a network for and how you intend to use it and participate in it. A professional network is a multi-way street. You have to be prepared to help others as well as receive help. Knowing that could make a difference about whom you choose to network with. Are you looking for:
- Mutual help finding opportunities or giving recommendations?
- Interesting or useful exchanges of ideas and information?
- A career change?
- Something else?
Think about—and perhaps diagram or map—the network you already have. Almost everybody has some sort of network, even if they aren't accustomed to seeing it that way. Ask yourself:
- Who do I have mutually interesting conversations with about work?
- Who would I recommend for a position? Who would recommend me?
- Who would I tell about an opportunity? Who would tell me, if they knew I was looking?
- Who do I learn from? Who asks me for advice?
Consider everyone you have ever worked with, both colleagues and managers. Others who know your work or work ethic could include anyone with whom you've worked in a volunteer capacity or school or college mates. Even relatives and neighbors who don't work in the same business might know someone who does and who could be an important connection for you.
When you go out to meet people, make sure you take a good stock of business cards. If your employer hasn't provided them, make the small investment in yourself to have some made or print your own. (Some professionals carry their own business cards to identify themselves separately from their current employers and share their personal-professional email addresses and online presence.)
