The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Baja California and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Lady Flames Fall To Stony Brook In 11 Inning Thriller To Open 49er Classic
The Lady Flames dropped their first extra inning game of the year as Liberty fell 5-4 to Stony Brook in an 11 inning thriller to open play at the 49er Classic, Friday afternoon, at Phillips Softball Classic.
Liberty jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning as Dawn Jeffs, who left the game in the first inning after being injured on a stolen base attempt, returned to the line-up to record a solo homer to center field to give the Lady Flames a one-run lead.
Stony Brook answered back in the bottom half of the frame as Marissa Fleury led off the inning with a single to right field, while two batters later Kelsi Fanelli connected on a two-run homer to left field to give the Seawolves a 2-1 edge. The long ball continued to play a factor in the top of the fifth inning as Terra Lowe led off the inning with a solo homer to straightaway center field to knot the score at 2-2.
The Seawolves regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth as Laura Bradford led off the inning with an infield single down the first base line. After advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt by Ashley Westphal and a passed ball, Bradford crossed the plate on another infield single as Hayley Durham hit one deep in the hole to shortstop to allow Stony Brook to take a 3-2 lead.
Liberty tied the game in the top of the sixth inning as the Lady Flames capitalized on two Seawolves errors as Ashley Williams reached first on a fielding error by Bradford at shortstop. Beth Hensley followed with a single to center field to move Williams into scoring position, while the starting catcher scored on a throwing error by Molly Kestranek as the second baseman threw a ball away on a ground ball by Terra Lowe to tie the game at 3-3.
Neither team could score in the seventh inning, sending the contest into extra innings where both teams scored in the eighth as Williams drove in Jessica Moore on a sacrifice fly in the top half of the inning, while a RBI single up the middle by Fanelli drove in pinch runner Kelly Oberto.
The score remained the same until the bottom of the 11th inning as Fanelli led off the inning with a fly ball to center field, but the ball glanced off the glove of Shannon McKain, giving the Seawolves runners at second and third as Suzanne Turek, who started the inning at second as part of the international tiebreaker rule, advanced to third on the play.
After an intentional walk was issued to Christina Voth to load the bases, Bradford sent a hard shot to second base, but Jeffs wasn't able to make the throw to the plate in time to get Turek who scored the game-winning run.
Angela Andrews picked up the win in relief of Sarah Hoffman as Andrews allowed two unearned runs on three hits in six innings of work, while Hoffman allowed two runs on four hits in five innings of action. Lowe was the tough luck loser as the junior allowed two unearned runs on just one hit in 5 1/3 innings of action and striking out six batters, while Sarah Ellis allowed three runs on eight hits in five innings of work.
Jeffs led the Lady Flames offensively as she finished the game 3-for-5 from the plate with a RBI and a run scored, while Hensley was 2-for-4.

Dr. McDougall's products are outstanding. For me they are a healthy, dorm-room staple; all I need is a teapot for boiling water and I have a nutritious, delicious meal at hand! I absolutely love getting creative with this product. Sometimes I use a bit less water and create a stew to pour over baby spinach leaves, sometimes I top it with salsa: mango salsa was a favourite!
Ok product

Taste - ok. Price - very cheap. My family liked this, but it is too salty for me. Great if you can use it as an extra dish - first course and divide it into 2 or 3 portions. Thank you iHerb.

A small, light pot, but this does fill you up! It's pretty flavourful too. If you don't like food of a thick consistency, you may want to add more water than they recommend. I like to keep a stock of these at home. Highly recommended.

Imaginary Relations: Aesthetics & Ideology in the Theory of Historical Materialism
€ 28,49
Bisher € 30,08
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
August 1996
BeschreibungThis book sets out to clarify the nature of the aesthetic as a category within the theory of historical materialism. It opens with an analysis of Marx's brief discussion of Greek art in the Grundrisse, moves through a series of readings of specifically bourgeois texts, including those of Ruskin, G.M. Hopkins, Nietzsche and Henry James, and then to the terrain of Marxism in the concepts of history underwriting the work of Fredric Jameson and Jean-Paul Sartre. Sprinkler detours through the recent works of Perry Anderson to set the stage for a systematic consideration of the theoretical itinerary and continuing relevance of the contributions of Louis Althusser. Imaginary Relations is a cogently argued attempt to shift the terrain of Marxist theorizing about art from the domain of ideology considered as simply false consciousness to a concept of art which makes aesthetic texts sources of empirical data about the real, historical world.
PortraitMichael Sprinker was Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His "Imaginary Relations: Aesthetics and Ideology in the History of Historical Materialism "and" History and Ideology in Proust" are also published by Verso. Together with Mike Davis, he founded Verso's Haymarket Series and guided it until his death in 1999.

Race, Theft, and Ethics: Property Matters in African American Literature
€ 34,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Dezember 2007
BeschreibungIn Race, Theft, and Ethics, Lovalerie King examines African American literature's critique of American law concerning matters of property, paying particular attention to the stereotypical image of the black thief. She draws on two centuries of African American writing that reflects the manner in which human value became intricately connected with property ownership in American culture, even as racialized social and legal custom and practice severely limited access to property. Using critical race theory, King builds a powerful argument that the stereotype of the black thief is an inevitable byproduct of American law, politics, and social customs.

Sharemarket operator NZX has issued a "please explain" notice to Xero regarding a sharp fall in the company's share price.
NZX said that between July 9 and 10.30am this morning the accounting software provider's share price had dropped 23.11 per cent, from $18.86 to $14.50.
After initially falling nearly 8 per cent this morning, Xero shares have regained ground and are changing hands at $15.60 - down 0.89 per cent.
The sharemarket operator has requested Xero to confirm that it continues to be in compliance with its continuous disclosure requirements.
Xero chief financial officer Ross Jenkins said the company was in compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations.
"We note that the Xero share price has a history of high volatility as a result of a tightly held share register, thus buying or selling pressure from one or more institutions can significantly affect the price," Jenkins said. "The company remains confident in its growth strategy and can report its country offices are performing well through the first quarter, with Australia in particular continuing its strong growth trajectory."
On Monday James Smalley, of sharebrokers Hamilton Hindin Greene, attributed the fall to profit-taking on the part of investors.
"The moment the shares come down for a day or two days in a row - that's when investors think, 'Right, time to get out,"' he said. "Because they all try and run for the exit at the same time, you can have quite a big pull back with no company news ... It's just a bit of profit-taking."
Xero's last major announcement was on July 3, when it said it had appointed a head of global marketing - a former Google staffer - and a chief platform officer.
The company's share price is still 161 per cent higher than where it was 12 months ago.
Xero reported a net loss of $14.4 million on revenue of $39 million in its last financial year.
The company doubled its base of paying customers to 157,000 during the same period.

This birth scene will haunt you. We forget how much the birthing environment has changed. When you see a nearly 300 year old birth taking place at a filthy, stinking Parisian fish market it makes you realise why infant and maternal mortality was so high until sanitation improved. Hail the civil engineer! They've done more for childbirth than any doctor and they don't even come with an ego.

21 Awkward Situations We All Survived In High School
Fret not, young grasshopper - it wasn't just you! It might be painfully easy to feel like the odd one out at the time, but it's actually the same embarrassing story for all of us. See how life plays out for a new generation of students on IFC's Out There, Fridays at 10/9c. Catch a full episode here.
1. The excessive support of your parents.
2. Every day when you got taunted by the "back of the bus" dwellers.
3. Your student ID never coming out as planned.
4. Trying to remember that godforsaken locker combo.
5. Being forever unprepared when asked to "say cheese."
6. When you pour your heart out to a new group of friends way too soon.
7. Walking into (and back out of) the wrong classroom.
8. When someone uncovers your dark secret obsession.
9. The inability to hold it together on frog dissection day.
10. Bringing home a less-than-stellar report card.
11. When you just can't wrap your head around the directions your chem teacher's given you three times already.
12. When the breakthrough finally comes… in front of your entire class.
13. When you think you're home free playing hooky, and then your teacher whips around the corner.
14. Pretending that you weren't eavesdropping about the rager happening at some kid's house this weekend.
15. The day you decided to violate the dress code.
16. Trying to flirt really effortlessly.
17. When you smiled at the wrong person from across the courtyard.
18. Your first day on the job.
19. The moment you realize your grand scheme has backfired.
Put the answers on your hand, they said. It will be easy, they said.
20. When you took the upcoming dance proposal just a little too casually.
21. Your noble attempt to leave your legacy behind.
No matter how old you get, you always seem to stay the same!

To be fair – I'm comparing a current small with an original full length. And my pad is still in the store packaging, but it's not much bigger once it's been inflated/deflated/and rolled up into the included stuff sack.

I thought those big pads were for car camping :)
25 years ago I was using blue foam pads. Also had a torso length Berkeley Airlift Mattress that had nine tubes (pain in the butt to inflate) and weighed 11 ounces. At the time a torso size Thermarest weighed 1.5 lbs. This was in the early 80's.Apr 12, 2013 at 9:17 am #1975777

I'm hoping to convince him otherwise on some of his gear (still using a Camp Trails McKinley external frame pack), but since all of the gear still works, he's not so willing to get rid of it.

I think that far back I was using a open cell, 2" thick pad/slab still. Easily dried the next day on the outside of my too small capacity Camptrails bp. The 5 lb. synthetic fill sleeping bag made up for it all. I slept better in those days, at home and on trips. I'm sure I did not know Thermarest existed back then.

Don't let it collide. Just have fun.
My son is in his mid 20's and his kit is 2-3 times heavier than mine. But he is happy with it and I don't try to get him to change, although with would make birthday and Christmas gift shopping much easier for me. Bonus is that I can keep up with him on hikes :)Apr 12, 2013 at 6:50 pm #1976015

Hmmm. 25 years ago (okay it was really 30+ years) I weighed about 165 lbs and remember dancing over boulders with a 90 lb pack as I headed out for a 10 day climbing expedition.
Now, I carry a 30 lb pack for a similar length trip. I have gained about 35 lbs in body mass. So I have a net weight loss of 25 lbs. I travel more slowly on much tamer terrain with significantly less elevation gain and my joints hurt more. It's not fair. I'll take back the old technology and extra pack weight any day if I can get the rest that went with it . . . okay, there is a peaceful joy and confidence I get now that I wouldn't want to give back.
In the end, thank you all you engineers and pioneers, and BPL types that have helped me keep going by lightening my load!
P.S. I still use my original Thermorest from 1979, but I did buy a NeoAir Xlite last year to save pack volume. I don't like it as well as the old one for comfort.Apr 12, 2013 at 8:25 pm #1976065

To be fair, though, Thermarest had much smaller pads, even 25 years ago. I still have 2 Thermarests, their 80's ultralight version, and they are barely larger than the small thermarest in your photo (though probably about an R-1). They still hold air and look like new.Apr 12, 2013 at 8:56 pm #1976073

25+ plus years ago I did not use a sleeping pad May through September:-) Two layers of ensolite in cold weather.
But 25- years ago I picked up a t-rest and used it for 15 years, mostly canoe camping.
Now? Neoair down to 30*F … kookabay goosepad when cold … and I ain't looking back!
I can still sleep well enough without a pad if I stay on my back … but then nobody within 25 yards sleeps at all so I don't do that.

Two Jaguar drivers pump big sound out of this small combo package.
The 100W Randall RX100RG2 Guitar Combo Amp is equipped with digital effects, and 2 channels for 3 modes, all in a compact and powerful package. The RX100RG2 amp is oaded with spring reverb, dual 3-Band EQ, series effects loop, and slave output with level. "Huge sound" is the best phrase to describe the 2x12 Randall RX100RG2 combo.
Randall's mission to deliver a more affordable amp that achieves the tone of much larger combos and stacks has developed into quite a powerhouse. The amp's RX tone circuits achieve the modern Randall tone that delivers plenty of tight lows as well as enough top end sizzle to satisfy any metal monster.
The result is an overwhelming sound that may change your definition of the modern practice amp.
- Spring Reverb
- Preamp/channels: 2 Channel/3 Modes
- Mode 1: Classic Clean with Boost
- Mode 2: Vintage/Modern Hi-Gain

Comments about Randall RX Series RX100RG2 100W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
Ok, I was a little worried about buying this amp because I'd never seen a review for this product, but I had already pruchased the Randall RX120RH and RX412 Half Stack so I gave it a shot.The pros:Extreme volume levels match its bigger brother and the tone is exactly the same.Extremely easy setup: open, plug and play.The distortion effects are pretty good if your into a classic/hard rock tone. The cons:Just like the Randall "RX120RH and RX412 Half Stack", the tone needs too be supplemented for metal by using an overdrive/metal effects pedal/processor.It doesnt come with the wheels like the halfstack, but it comes with almost the same weight. (good only if you dont need to lug it around all day)The only reason I gave it a 4.0 on features was the lack of effects I've come to expect from most solid-state combo amplifiers.Recomendations:When purchasing this model or the Randall RX120RH and RX412 Half Stack, remember to purchase either the boss mt2 or the boss metalcore pedal. Dimarzio cables never fail, and this long-term investment will keep you in the game for years without replacement. Replacing the jaguar speakers and putting in texas heat is a must for any metalhead who needs those sharp highs as well as crunchy lows, without the muddy indestinguishable ones you tend to get at high volume levels.Overall:Exellent amp, I can keep the stack at my drummers house and have the same thing at my house but with half the hassle of all that space required.This thing really pounds your chest and gets your adrenaline going. I highly recomend all randall products (at least till you can afford krank).
Comments about Randall RX Series RX100RG2 100W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
i purchased this amp not too long ago and it completely changed my sound. i have a crate flexwave half stack, and like alot of those they have problems. this amp will do more than keep up with halfstacks. the sound is great, the spring reverb sounds amazing. this amp is a beast. the effects loop is something im new to so it blew my mind how awesome they are (now i know why they are good to have). im going to aquire a m-108 equilizer and see how it effects my sound. which i already am happy with.

Lady Antebellum Offer Humorous Holiday Tidings to Fans
How do the members of Lady Antebellum prepare for Christmas while their on the road? The answer is in this week's Webisode Wednesday video from the band, and you may be surprised how closely their holiday festivities resemble your own.
Lady A's Charles Kelley, donning a festive robe, reads the boys of the band — including Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott's fiance, Chris Tyrell — the classic book, 'The Night Before Christmas,' as they lay snug in their bunks. After the story is told and each is "tucked' in," Charles ends the scene with, "Good night, you princes of the road." Watch the funny video below.
Lady A's Own the Night Tour is on a brief holiday hiatus before resuming January 27 in Tulsa, Okla. The trio are celebrating Dave's engagement this week, as he popped the question to gorgeous girlfriend Kelli Cashiola on Monday. Read the romantic story here.

Derek Pyle and depute fiscal Fiona Murray hope the venture becomes an annual team building event with a prize awarded to the best climber.
A notice at Inverness Sheriff Court said the walk was restricted and not open to anyone giving evidence, or due to be sentenced.
Sgor Goaith in the Cairngorms is the target for Wednesday's walk.
About 40 criminal and civil lawyers, police and Reliance officers, social workers, fiscals and clerk staff at Inverness Sheriff Court are expected to tackle the 3,668ft peak.
A notice inviting people to the event said: "Invitation restricted to those who regularly attend the Sheriff Court, but not to give evidence or be sentenced."
The walk is the idea of Sheriff Pyle, who was rated top sheriff in last year's Law Awards of Scotland, and Ms Murray.
At the end of their business at 1315 BST on Wednesday, the walking party will head for the hills, while the rest of the day's court business proceeds as normal.
Prizes on offer
Sheriff Pyle, 53, said: "It's just a bit of fun. It seems a shame when we are in the finest walking country in Europe not to use it and to introduce the pleasures of hillwalking to people who may otherwise not think of doing it.
"I have done a reasonable number of Munros over the past 20 years although I am not fanatical about bagging them all."
He added: "An ipod with earpiece may be useful for inspiration. When spirits fall soundtrack of Last of the Mohicans is as good as any."
Prizes will be given for the winner of The Murray and Pyle award for Climber of the Year and there will be "other exciting and unexpected competitions en route", according to the notice about the event.

Despite my dismay at the Feds unwillingness to take dramatic action I really do think we have a variety of quasi-conventional means at our disposable to create monetary stimulus. As always an explicit price level target would be a good start.
However, it doesn't end there. The Fed can buy up all sorts of government debt, including the debts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And, and in the end there is always the helicopter option – that is just tossing money from a helicopter.
Paul Krugman worries that the helicopter option wouldn't be strictly "legal" as they say. The Fed has no authority to just hand out cash. Matt Yglesias says the Fed can just issue $1000 loans with a pair of socks as collateral. If people are "happen" to default on the loan the Fed will just refuse to return their socks.
However, its really even easier than that.
The Fed can purchase bonds backed by consumer credit. In the same way that Wall Street takes your mortgage and bundles it into a set of bonds, firms also take your credit card payments and bundle them into bonds.
The Fed can buy those bonds and to my knowledge there is no limit on the price they can pay. Bond prices are inversely related to interest rates. So, if the Fed pays a high enough price for the bonds, the effective interest rate would be negative.
This in turn would mean that the consumers would make money simply by borrowing money.
I don't envision lots of credit card offers that say "–3% APR" However, I can imagine offers that say "0% APR for life on new purchases and 10% cash back"
For super nerds, notice that such a temporary credit facility would create de facto inflation. That is, if you get 10% back for buying something today. Then in effect it will be 10% more expensive tomorrow. This will balance against the actual deflation that is building.

A repeat drink-driver will serve at least four years in jail for driving a car that struck and killed a 17-year-old Geelong schoolgirl on her way to a party after attending a debutante ball.
Derek Ladlow, 40, of Wallington, near Geelong, had pleaded guilty to causing the death of Newcomb teenager Charlotte Kiebert. She was struck by his car while standing by the side of the road early on July 20 last year.
Judge Leo Hart yesterday sentenced Ladlow to 61/2 years in prison, with a minimum non-parole period of four years. His licence was cancelled for six years.
The Geelong County Court was told that Ladlow - who had prior convictions for drink-driving, refusing a breath test and speeding - had a blood alcohol level of 0.13 per cent at the time of the collision.
The court had been told that Ladlow consumed nine or 10 cans of ouzo and cola over five hours at the White Eagle Social Club in Breakwater before getting into the car.
Ladlow was also sentenced to six months' jail for failing to stop at the scene of an accident, to be served at the same time.
Outside court, Charlotte's parents, Tim and Sheila Kiebert, said the sentence would give Ladlow at least four years to think about what he had done.
Mr Kiebert said that if the family had wanted revenge, then four years would not be enough.
"No amount of time is going to pay for Charlotte's life," he said.
Mr and Mrs Kiebert described their daughter, who was a year 11 student, as an energetic and outgoing person who loved her friends and was saving up so that she could one day become a member of the crew of the Young Endeavour. They said she had been booked to fulfil one of her dreams - parachuting out of a plane - for the month after her death.
The court was told Ladlow was travelling east in Townsend Road, Moolap, soon after 12.40am on July 20. He was exceeding the 80 km/h speed limit when he overtook a car, swerved back to the correct side of the road and struck three teenagers who were standing on the grassy verge.
The court had previously been told that the trio were standing on the side of the road because their car had become bogged. Ms Kiebert was killed and her two companions injured.
Justice Hart said Ladlow then drove home and told his de facto wife that he believed he had injured someone. He anonymously telephoned for an ambulance and went to a police station later that day.
"In this case, a young life has been needlessly lost and the effect on her family is... profound," Justice Hart said.
The court was told Ladlow was a hardworking, decent man. It heard that Ladlow had a prior conviction for drink-driving 20 years ago and a conviction for refusing a breath test 17 years ago.
His latest conviction, for speeding, occurred seven years ago.

I bought this last month and since then my skin has shown major improvement. Before this I used the Olay Pro X brush. It took a little bit to get used to the brush not oscillating but the clarisonic is AMAZING at what it does. I can't wait to buy more brush heads!5

Big Bore AR Uppers?
Well, we knew it was only a matter of time...feral hogs have moved into our property in Gladwin and have been tearing the place up. So this gives me the perfect excuse to build a new hog gun.
I have been doing a bit of reading, and it seems like the .450 bushmaster, .458 socom and the .50 beowulf are the 3 main choices when it comes to big bore rounds for the AR-15 platform.
Out of those 3, I'm leaning towards the .458 because of the ammo selection...you can get bullets from 250 grains all the way up to 600 grains (bullet selection with the .450 is extremely limited, and the .50 isn't much better). Another benefit is that you can use regular AR .223/5.56 mags with the .458, which you can't with the .450 or .50 without modification. The only downside of this round compared to the other two that I have found is the price, it is 2-3x more expensive per shot (and I don't reload).
Anybody have an AR in any of those calibers or done any shooting with one? Pro's/con's that I didn't mention? Reason to stay away from them, or chose one round over the others?
I realize that this isn't a long range gun, but it doesn't need to be...I wouldn't be shooting more than 150 yards or so. I just like the idea of a semi-auto with decent capacity (10 rounds of .458 in a 30 round standard AR mag), that is capable of throwing 300 grain bullets at around 2000 fps.
There are a few different manufacturers making complete uppers, but this one has caught my eye...

My dad has the .50 and i love shooting it. All my buddys that have shot it liked i. We were shooting a plate, the size wont come to me at the moment, but i could stick my thumb through the hole it left in the plate. History channel did a show with the .50 and shot it through the front of a car it went through the motor, firewall,seats and out the back. They showed the entrance and exit.

Do you already own an AR-15 lower? If you do you may want to look into the 300 blackout. The only thing that has to be changed from a .223/5.56 platform is the barrel.it is availible in sub sonic and super sonic loads. If you do not already have an AR-15 have you thought about an AR-10 platform? The AR-10 platform supports .243, .308, .338 federal calibers (I may have missed so also?).

Big Bore AR
I have 2 of the 450 bushmasters a 16 inch and a 20 inch . The reason I chose that round is availabilty . I have never seen the 50 bewulfe in a store and neither the 458 . I went up north last yr and there was the 450 bushmaster on the shelf at jays so that sealed it for me . I reload for it , its pretty much a 45acp almost double the length and if you dont put a heavy buffer in the gun it has quite the sting . Being its .452 diameter bullet you could and can use any 45acp bullet to reload it the 458 is .458 diameter so again availability . Hornady developed the 450 and got bushmaster involved and they were onboard if they could put their name on it hence the 450 bushmaster being hornady developed it I think it will be around for quite awhile . I really like shooting them and plan to take a deer with it this yr to see what it can do . Standard 20 or 30 round mags for .223 work for this gun they sell a special follower which I guess is something that again is standard for bench shooters that makes the clip a single stack and with that you can only fit 9 rounds of 450 in a 30 rd 223 mag . Ill see if I can get a couple pics on here very cool looking round with the 250 gr hornady leverevolution bullet .

Yeah, I already have an AR-15...but an ar-10 is definitely on my list of wants.
As for availability...I'm not too worried about that because I usually order my ammo in bulk online when I find decent sales. So being available from a local store off the shelf isn't a priority.
.223 may do the job, but hogs have a pretty solid bone mass covering their vitals, which is why I wanted to go with a solid heavy bullet...something with a lot of stopping power that could drop a charging hog in its tracks. That's one of the reason I didn't look too much into the .300 blackout, I was under the impression that the bullet weights were on the lighter side. But I will have to do a little more reading on that round.

In the band!
.300 blackout is great with a 220 gr hornady RN, 900~ FPS is easily obtainable. your talking 30-30 power levels. a 170 gr hornady rn would be just fine for killing pigs deer and minorities.
I have killed deer with .223 remington, I wouldnt use it hog hunting. you would have to shoot the fukc out of them and thats unacceptable.

ive shot the .50 beowulf as well. highly recommend it! kicks like a 12 gauge with 3" mag's Uses the same .223 lower and i think it can even use the same mags as well.
Think of it as a .45 it dont move fast but when it gets there its going to wreck something.
also if you hand load you save lots of $$$ as i think its 34 bucks for 20 rounds!!!! and you can also get the 550 grain sledge hammer round! normal is 350 grain.
Getting kinda pricy for the upper.

Theres a few out there.

aka Langford
Remember though, I don't reload...so I'm stuck using factory ammo. And I believe the beowulf round is proprietary....so you are limited to ammo from Alexander Arms, unless you are willing to shoot somebody else's hand loads. I think the .450 bushmaster is the same.

Well by Steveo,s last post if you dont reload and you dont own a 450 bushy your not shooting for awhile . Backorder ok is no fun . The 450 may be proprietary but its proprietory for one of the largest ammo manufactures so I still think the 450 is the safest choice for having ammo availability . And if you reload like I said earlier it shares the bullet diameter .452 of the 45 ACP Im pretty sure youll find those bullets anywhere .
Here,s a copy paste of a review of the bullet from a guy that pig hunts with it .
Michael D. Lindley, M.D. of New Orleans, LA
5 stars Date Posted: 07/13/2012I have killed 10+ wild pigs with this bullet in both my own handloads and also in factory ammunition. In a word: devastating! Not a single animal has taken a step after being hit with this freight train of a bullet out of the 450 Bushmaster. Accuracy has been phenomenal as well. I wish I had the ability to post photographs of both the wounds as well as the targets I've shot. I am using Hodgdon Lil Gun powder with great success in terms of velocity and accuracy. Also, using a Leupold 3-9 x 40 mm Ultimateslam scope with the SABR reticle gives perfect holdover compensation for the ballistics of this round.

I have done a lot of shooting with the .458 Socom and I think its a hell of a cartridge. Recoil is surprisingly mild, its accurate and 45/70 ballistics in a small little package is impressive. My Dad has shot a couple of bears with his and it did the job well.

I was somewhat disappointed with this conditioner. I heard such great things about the nourishing mask by AMIKA and I was hoping this product would compare, but it didn't. It smelt nice but it didn't soften or detangle my hair, and my hair is straight and medium-fine so its not as if it needs intense conditioning. I wont be buying this conditioner again.1

Why Integrators Should Set Sights on Gen X, Millennials
Electronic security contractors need to realize that Gen X and Millennial money spends just as well as Baby Boomer money.
By Chuck Schneider · March 11, 2014
Where or where are these Boomers going to get the money? Despite the recent upturns in real estate, no one has been bold or foolish enough to predict that the overwhelming majority of homes will anytime soon get back to 2005-2006 levels, let alone go up from there. And for many Boomers, home equity represented their retirement nest egg. Getting back to Social Security, 75 percent of those claiming benefits are doing so early despite every warning to the contrary because they need the money.
The average post-recession Boomer is much more likely to move in with the kids, rent a double-wide outside of Tampa, buy a modest condo or home in a pre-planned and improvement restrictive community like Del Webb or simply stay in place than they are to start the building process anew. Sadly, many more will end up in assisted living and nursing homes where thoughts of motorized shades will be muddled with every other thought.
That isn't to say that some of these Jewel Boxes won't ever be built. And it is a proven fact that net worth has a positive impact on longevity. But will there be enough of them to anchor a business strategy? That's unlikely at best. Anyone who feels otherwise knows something I don't or is literally whistling past the graveyard.
Embrace Gen X/Gen Y
That brings to mind yet another question to be begged. Why don't most custom integrators embrace Generation X? The oldest Xer will soon be 50, the youngest over 30 and approaching those coveted peak-earning years. I think that CIs, from owners to salespeople to installers, have a difficult time coming to grips with the fact that some of these folks—not that long ago collectively degraded as slackers—may now have enough coin to actually buy our stuff.
What do other durable goods industries know that we don't? For years they have followed Gen X, studied their habits, their likes and dislikes and successfully proffered to this group as it grew in purchasing power. IKEA built a worldwide empire doing just that while Toyota built a brand, Scion, that rivals entire car companies in its success.
The major appliance people have been catering to Generation X for a long time now and doing so at a healthy profit. At least one major appliance brand is moving beyond. GE recently introduced a full series of appliances aimed squarely at Millennials, the generation behind Gen X and, in many cases, the not-even-30-yet grandchildren of Boomers. And GE hired a 28-year-old industrial designer to head up the project!
Here's a thought: Get over any and all preconceived notions you might hold about those younger than yourself. Gen X and Millennial money spends just as well as Boomer money. Plus it's a safe bet that a client from either generation will understand what you are trying to do for him more than someone born before Howdy Doody. Members of both groups have many years in front of them before they are likely to utter "I've fallen and I can't get up."

Bagel and Ballots -- Monday
-The Jewish Wife Gambit: Gov. Charlie Crist, the independent in the three-way race for Florida's senate seat, is gunning for the Jewish vote. In front of a crowd of 600 mostly Jewish retirees, he called his wife, Carole, a "nice Jewish girl who grew up on Long Island." (Sun-Sentinel)
-Rahmbo's Running … Fast: Politico reports that Rahm Emanuel is expected to leave the White House ASAP — perhaps this Friday, even — to jumpstart his stab at Chicago's City Hall, where he would be the Windy City's first Jewish mayor. The New York Times holds out for the possibility of a more decorous exit, saying merely that Emanuel could "make an announcement as early as Friday." Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo finds the first possibility "unseemly and almost bizarre." "Chief of Staff is usually considered a pinnacle job rather than a stepping stone," he writes. "You do it until the president is done with you or you burn out, neither of which usually takes very long. And five weeks before an election? On very short notice? It just doesn't seem right." (Politico)
-You Are Getting Very Sleepy: Rand Paul, ophthalmologist and Republican candidate for Kentucky's senate seat, is part of a physicians' association that argues on its website that Obama won the Jewish vote by recourse to "covert hypnosis intended only for licensed therapists on consenting patients" in his speeches to Jews. The group also believes that HIV does not cause AIDS. His opponent, Democrat Jack Conway, is using the revelation to swipe away, and hosted a conference call highlighting Paul's statements about the Jewish community. (Mitzvote)
-All By Himself: Pennsylvania's Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey attended a debate all alone, since Democratic opponent Joe Sestak missed the exchange, chalking it up to a scheduling conflict. (The Morning Call)
-Fun Fact — Bam's Tunes, They Are A-Changing: What's on Barack Obama's iPod? Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, and the Rolling Stones. And aide Reggie Love is trying to bring POTUS up to date. (Associated Press)

Every once in a while, for me it happens every four or five years, you see something that is so beautiful that it's nearly impossible to believe it was shot on the planet we live on. Forget the green screens and CGI and let's talk Tarsem and his talent for shooting locations and making them look like creations of the mind. Out of this real world comes a fantastic tale, one full of tragedy, music, magic and immense, breathtaking beauty. Out of this world comes The White Meadows.
A tale that could easily come from "The Arabian Nights," Mohammad Rasoulof's film is the story of a man named Rahmat who travels by boat from island to island alleviating individuals of their secrets and suffering and at the same time, collecting their tears. On his first stop, he picks up the body of a woman who died eight days before, a woman of so much beauty the town elders feared to bury her because the young men in the village would dig her up to look upon her. Curious and now far from shore on his little boat, Rahmat sneaks a peek and discovers, rather than a very dead, very beautiful woman, a very young and alive boy who staged his escape for a chance to search for his father.
Rahmat, with boy in tow, continues on his adventures, arriving at towns, hearing and seeing people suffer and with each visit, collecting more tears. What are the tears for? That is the mystery and to find out, you'll have to see the film. It may be a difficult one to track down but it's one well worth the search.
Shot on location on Lake Urmia and the islands that dot the lake in north east Iran, Rasoulof's film is like a beautiful dream, one filled with jaw dropping locales, moments of sadness and wonder and even a handful of laughs (I was particularly taken by the prison keeper).
I'm sure there's some meaning to the myth created in The White Meadows and perhaps some day, I may even take a moment to consider it in more detail but as of right now, all I want to do is book my trip to Iran to experience these surroundings for myself. Until the day that happens, I'll simply have to keep an eye out for a DVD release.
If this is rolling into a festival near you, you owe it to yourself to see it on the big screen.

- Web Map Service (WMS)
- Web Feature Service (WFS)
- Geography Markup Language (GML 3)
Directions Magazine asked product marketing executives, Moshe Binyamin and Doug Gordon to comment on the reason that .NET was adapted for this particular product. According to Binyamin, When we came to a point where we were evaluating our technology and going forward, we evaluated the technologies that were in the marketplace and comparing them to the requirements that we were seeing from our customers for both MapXtreme and MapX. And we were seeing that those products were aimed at the developer community; customers interested in integrating location aspects for developing customized location-based applications.
MapXtreme 2004 - Click for Larger Images
So, what we've seen there that customers were facing some difficulties in terms of integrating location (technology) in their enterprise. These were not necessarily MapInfo or our product offerings specifically, but they were general problems. There was no common language to develop in; one developer would be proficient in ASP; another in VB; another in C++ and their skills would rarely be able to intermingle and leverage all of them at once.
And then we looked at the .NET and what .NET was bringing to the table and what we've seen is that the .NET environment provided very attractive capabilities in terms of having a single development environment for desktop applications; for the web-enabled applications. You can mix multiple languages, all compiling at the CLR or missile code that can interchange and interoperate in a very smooth way. It provided the web developers with a very professional looking environment.
So, this gave us a great opportunity to go ahead and commit to that technology because that's where Microsoft was going for the maturation process: where they went from COM that evolved over time, and .NET was the baby of that maturation process. So, we're pretty happy in that direction from Microsoft and we've adopted that platform and rebuilt our entire object model on the .NET environment.
Also, we've asked ourselves the question of We've got to make it easy. What we wanted to do is make it as seamless and consistent as possible with the Visual Studio.NET environment. So if you are a developer and familiar with .NET, you know how to develop, you know how to interact with our technology.
With regard to MapInfo moving all of their products to the .NET platform, Gordon said, The .NET platform is the foundation for everything we are doing. It would not be correct to say that everything has moved, but there is no question that is the commitment and the direction we are going with all our products.
MapXtreme 2004 is the first major step in that direction. We've taken MapX which was our client-server product, and MapXtreme which was our server product and combined them into one. That engine is the foundation upon which we will build all our .NET and all of our Windows-based offerings.
Will MapInfo migrate MapInfo Professional to .NET? Gordon says that, There is a huge customer set that uses MapInfo Professional, which is a fully complete application; it is not what we would call a developer tool. In that application, there was the ability to programmatically extend what Pro could do and we will be providing that direction as we go forward. What we've done now is dealt with the developer tools, not the application MapInfo Professional.
But MapInfo also has a long-term view of their development tools. According to Binyamin, MapInfo is dedicated to providing location-based services on Java, Windows, and Web Services. Another opportunity that .NET allowed is to, while developing a Windows or .NET engine, to be able to facilitate that type of a direction going forward in terms of Web Services kinds of communication.
Just how much of the investment that was made in MapBasic by users and developers will be able to be brought over to the .NET environment? Although that was not the objective of this release of MapXtreme, according to Gordon, That scenario is absolutely in our sites at the moment, and is in our customers best interest, and in ours to make sure that we provide the smoothest, seamless path from MapBasic to the .NET or VB.NET programming environment.
In also supporting the emerging industry specifications, such as WFS and GML, MapInfo made sure it was possible to develop applications with these guidelines in mind. Not only do we need to provide location capabilities that customers are expecting but we need to make it interoperable, both from IT standards, and the second one is obviously industry standards, said Binyamin. We are obviously supporting Visual Studio .NET, for example, or supporting Oracle Spatial or other common databases such as Microsoft SQL Server or IBM Informix, or communication protocols such as ODBC or ADO.NET. And with the acceleration of the OGC standards, we decided to go ahead and build those connections straight into the product.

AR Law Enforcement Receives More than $30M in Military Surplus Gear
LITTLE ROCK, AR - In July, Fox 16 News, reported on Arkansas law enforcement agencies adding military-like equipment to their arsenal. After research, agencies have received what some might call an alarming amount of military grade equipment, nearly 30 million dollars.
The fallout from the Michael Brown shooting has put the spotlight directly on the apparent militarization of law enforcement.
Coverage of the protests in the aftermath of the fatal shooting by a police officer clearly shows law enforcement with military equipment and combat ready weaponry.
According to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, military surplus equipment that is no longer in use overseas, is sent or offered to local law enforcement agencies every year.
"We are not militarizing our law enforcement," said John Kerbyt, Pentagon Press Secretary. "We are not pushing things out. It's a process by which this equipment is available should they deem that they need it and they want it."
It appears Arkansas law enforcement agencies both want and need it.
According to documents the Defense Logistics Agency, since February of 2009, Arkansas law enforcement agencies have received nearly $30 million--nearly half of that amount was authorized for a $733,000 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle, or MRAP.
Currently there are 17 of these bulletproof vehicles in the state.
Law enforcement said they're necessary, especially when SWAT teams are deployed.
"It's important to us to make sure our officers on those teams have maximum ballistic protection. This vehicle provides that," said Major Lateyette Woods of the Jefferson County Sheriff Department.
A closer look at the data shows which counties have qualified and received the most military equipment.
Randolph County is at the top of the list with nearly $6 million ($5,778,195). Of that, $5.3 million was for an army cargo plane.
Pulaski County received nearly five million ($4,990,332), followed by Benton County (2,483,271), Saline County (1,976,737) and Lonoke County ($1,145,183).
According to the inventory list - law enforcement agencies were equipped with M-16 rifles, automatic pistols, night vision goggles, grenade launchers, and armored vehicles in addition to the MRAPs. All thanks to what's called the 1033 program which congress established in the 1990s.
The federal program allows law enforcement agencies to receive (at a substantially reduced cost) military grade equipment that if left unused would be destroyed.
But in light of the events in Ferguson, the program has come under fire and has now caught the attention of the White House.
President Obama said, "Ithink it is probably useful for us to review how the funding has gone because there is a big difference between our military and local law enforcement and we don't want to blur those lines."
Reviewing the Military Surplus Program is one idea but Georgia Representative Hank Johnson is taking it a step further. He wants to demilitarize domestic police forces.
"Our main streets should be a place for business, families and relaxation, not tanks and M16s," he said
He plans on introducing his bill in September when congress returns from summer recess.

It turned out to be a perfect trip and the cabin exceeded our expectations.
Absolutely thrilled with the cabin! This place is beyond amazing!
Cabin was clean and the staff was friendly. We will definitely be back.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Mallard's Retreat last weekend and we can't say enough positive things about the cabin, staff, and the surroundings! Our stay was perfect – exceptionally clean cabin with many 'extras' that felt like home, and such a beautiful setting and view. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay! The only negative is that we couldn't extend our stay for longer! We will definitely be back! Thank you for making Lopstick so inviting!
