BC's Forests minister says he is very concerned as hot dry weather turns the province into a tinder box.
Steve Thomson says firefighters are working hard on the ground to save homes in Hudsons Hope and elsewhere.
"When the evacuation orders get put in place there is a whole structure and system in place that supports that through Emergency Management BC. Opening of emergency centres and support that is put in place. So this is cross ministry with emergency management of local governments. There are protocols and systems in place. Everybody on the ground is working to respond to the situation."
Thomson says this is the busiest start to a wildfire season he has seen as minister.
"Very concerned. We have got all of our resources dedicated to responding to them working across ministries but the combination of weather and the current situtation is creating a situation that is obviously a lot of concern but we have got great professionals on the ground who are responding."
He says this years wildfire budget is 63-million-dollars.
"We have spent a fair amount of the budget. We are coming up against the allocated budget. It is an earlier start normally this is the kind of activity we might be seeing in the first part of August or something like that."
The province can access discretionary funds once the budget is used up.
Last year the province spent 122-million-dollars fighting wildfires.

The lip balm goes on smooth and did not make my lips look glossy or shiny, and absorbed quickly. It also lasted a long time and I didn't feel like I needed to reapply too often. The scent is subtle and the ingredients make me feel good about putting it on my lips! Only frustration was that the lip balm broke off the base and was stuck in the lid when it arrived, fortunately it was a quick fix and I haven't had other issues.5
I ordered this as a replacement for another brand I have used forever and I like some Coola products. This feels like a sunscreen stick,not much moisture. I need something non greasy to hydrate my lips before touching up matte lipstick, and while this is not greasy it's almost dry. I will finish it up and go back to my 8 hr.3

The Inquirer reports the acquisition and notes only a letter to Vexcel users as evidence. Gee, this is sort of like how we stumbled on Microsoft acquiring GeoTango late last year…
Update: Virtual Globes' Alan Glennon has the official word.
Update 2: Microsoft shared this statement:
Microsoft has entered into an agreement with Vexcel Corporation to acquire the company. The acquisition is part of Microsoft's exciting vision to deliver a dynamic, immersive digital representation of the real world that provides the best local search and mapping experience to consumers, businesses and government. Vexcel's people, products, and services will play a key role in helping Microsoft deliver on this vision. The agreement requires regulatory approval in the United States and in certain EU countries (Germany and Italy), and more details will be provided once the deal is closed.

text: Great Advantages of Private Schools in North York By Glenna MSeptember 23, 20130 Back to HomeTweet Private Schools in North York Private schools in North York offer an excellent alternative to public education. If you have ever wondered about what private schools have to offer, take the time to investigate. It may be more affordable – and more important – than you think. If you didn't attend private school, you may not know much about this type of education. A generation of us has grown up with our idea of private schools modeled on Harry Potter's Hogwarts. Are private schools really like Hogwarts? Surprisingly, some Toronto private schools do have some of the best characteristics of Hogwarts! A Sense of Belonging The best private schools engender a great sense of loyalty and affection. Like Hogwarts, many of them have a system whereby new students are sorted into "houses." Older students in each house mentor younger house members. Achievements of each member earn points for his or her house, making each house member a part of a group effort. Another way that private schools make students feel a part of things is with the establishment of extracurricular clubs. These give students a chance to socialize and work on projects with other students who have similar interests. These can include debate societies, gaming clubs, drama clubs, photography clubs, math clubs, and organizations that involve various types of art, music, robotics, and even investing, for the junior entrepreneur! Some schools put out regular newspapers, or an annual yearbook. Students can work together on these projects as well. Some schools also participate in outside activities such as "Reach For The Top," the television program that showcases the knowledge of teams from various schools, or SOMUNA, a model United Nations project perfectly suited to those students interested in politics and global issues. Values Hogwarts instills Harry and its other students with many values to help them become strong human beings, and to help them in the fight against evil. These timeless values, such as integrity, responsibility, taking constructive risks, service to the community, respect, self-discipline, and championing what is right are the kinds of values that stand people in good stead in school, in their careers, and in life. Better Toronto private schools encourage these same values in their students, along with others such as the love for learning. Sports Harry's Quidditch experiences help him to discover reserves of strength and courage, to push himself to the limit, and more. Many of the GTA's best schools put emphasis on sports, and offer tremendous athletic programs. Although no flying brooms are involved, the athletic programs at better private schools provide challenges at various levels and encourage participation by all students. The best programs offer traditional team sports like soccer, softball, volleyball, football, and hockey, as well as individual sports like track, swimming, and tennis. Fun activities like Frisbee and table tennis allow less athletic children to excel, and sports like snowboarding provide natural athletes with challenges. Although your child won't be able to attend Hogwarts, he or she may well be able to experience the magic of a GTA private school! Explore websites, attend "Open House" events, and speak to school administrators. Give your child the gift of a superior education. Back to Home

Four attributes of effective team leaders
Strong leadership is a prerequisite for any high-performance team. And it is particularly important in dynamic situations, when the roles and responsibilities of the team may be shifting and there may be a need to adapt the organization's responses accordingly. Finding people who possess the various ideal characteristics of modern-day team leadership is far from easy, however.
"You have to know when to make a decision and that takes leadership."
— Dina Pyron, Global Director of Human Capital, EY
Our research has shown that effective team leaders display the following key actions:
- Provide clear direction and leadership: This requires constant dialog, particularly if the team is distributed across geographies and functions. With teams now spread far and wide, regular contact should be actively planned and prioritized. But while structure is important, companies also need to ensure that processes are not too rigid.
- Create an open and inclusive team culture: Effective leaders of high-performance teams encourage members to voice views and ideas. Leadership in a team setting is much less about command and control, and more about getting the most out of a diverse and experienced group of individuals.
Do you agree that your organization does not have the right leaders to manage and motivate teams?
- Empower: Old-style command-and-control leadership models are not fit for purpose in a high-performance team setting. Although they lay the groundwork for team activities, effective leaders also know when to get out of the way, and empower team members to be autonomous and make their own day-to-day decisions.
- Develop and coach: Workplace surveys consistently demonstrate the potential impact of the manager on an employee's attitude towards their work. Without the leader's constant encouragement, individual demoralization can quickly infect the team.

Lady-T sent me this this quilt. Her only instruction was to make swirling wind in the center black other than that...I could do what I wanted.
I LOVE>LOVE>LOVE the way this turned out!
Honestly, I could not have quilted this way if her peicing wasn't excellent!
I am privledged to have gotten this quilt!
This fell under my $1.75 special for January. It is all hand guided ...no computer or Pantographs. I quilted it all on my INNOVA long arm.

See your lawn through a bird's eyes with YardMap
Web tool lets you map outdoor spaces as wildlife habitat
By Sarah Zielinski, 17:24 PM June 11, 2014
View the video
Wild animals, especially birds, aren't confined to wild spaces. They creep into backyards, hop through parks and crawl through any bit of green space they can find. Scientists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology would like to know more about those not-so-wild spaces so that they can learn how bird species use the full range of habitats in North America.
Their new citizen-science project, a website called YardMap, lets people quickly and easily make free maps of verdant places such ...

Those who inhabit the macabre land of Putin frequently wonder if they are trapped in an Alice in Wonderland country in which right means left and guilty means innocent. On May 12, 2012, the day before Vladimir Putin once again became president of Russia an AUTHORIZED rally was held in which people protested his coming to office. The so called Bolotnaya case has concluded and eight men who participated in this Authorized political rally have been found guilty of using non-deadly force against members of the Russian police. In other words, demonstrators were behaving in a manner that posed no threat to police so they are now guilty of the crime of threatening the police with non-deadly force.
Only in Putin Russia can people be convicted of not doing anything on grounds that by not using deadly force against police they threatened the lives of policemen! Vladimir Putin will display his masculine chest and, most probably, challenge the eight to fight him in order to prove that when he uses deadly force it is an example of how not to use deadly force!!

/// What Pepsi Discovered by Monitoring Millennials During the VMAs
As a brand that has long had event sponsorship at the heart of its marketing formula, Pepsi sought a more scientific way to study the correlation between TV viewing and second-screen usage during live programming. So using research methods such as biometrics, the brand looked at consumer behavior during the MTV Video Music Awards telecast this past August—the top-rated entertainment program on cable among viewers aged 12-34 this year, and the most social non-sports TV event. What emerged were some surprising differences in media usage among millennials. During pivotal moments of the show—like Miley Cyrus' twerk-tastic duet with Robin Thicke (which generated a record 360,000 tweets per minute)—consumers 18-26 immediately shifted from TV viewing to second screens. Meanwhile, those aged 27-34 stayed with the telecast, waiting to engage in social conversations. "The younger group already had their hands ready and immediately went to social media to start talking," said Chad Stubbs, senior director of marketing at PepsiCo . "The show ebbed and flowed, and a key thing we learned was having a brand message throughout the show was important," he added. "In the past, maybe we said we would need a big part at the beginning or the end." Carolyn Kim, associate director of business intelligence at Pepsi agency OMD , pointed out that while there is not a wide disparity of ages among the millennial set, continual advances in technology have led to behavioral differences among those consumers.

Frequently Asked Questions
(Click a question once to expand and click again to collapse.)
General IOLTA Questions
Through the IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts) program, the Idaho Law Foundation works with members of the Idaho State Bar and the Idaho banking community to allow attorneys to place client funds which are nominal in amount or held for a short period of time into pooled interest-bearing accounts.
Interest earned is remitted to the Idaho Law Foundation who distributes these funds through the IOLTA grant process to programs that meet our funding requirements, including programs that:
- Provide legal aid to the poor
- Support law related education programs for the public
- Offer scholarships and student loans
- Improve the administration of justice
Have IOLTA Programs operated successfully elsewhere?
Yes. The first IOLTA program in the U.S. was introduced in Florida in 1981. All fifty states and a number of Canadian jurisdictions now have IOLTA programs. These programs have proven very successful.
What's the difference between an IOLTA account and other types of trust accounts?
The IOLTA program gathers the small amounts of interest earned on general client trust accounts. This interest does not belong to the attorneys or the banks and is not in sufficient amounts to allocate to individual clients.
Other trust accounts (non-IOLTA) are established when interest on a client's trust deposit could be made available for the client's benefit, generally for client deposits that are larger in amount or longer-term in maturity.
Information for Attorneys
How does my trust account become an IOLTA account?
Pursuant to the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct Section XIII every general attorney trust account will be converted to an interest-bearing account with the interest paid by the financial institution to the Idaho Law Foundation unless the lawyer or law firm files a Notice of Declination indicating his/her or their decision to "opt out." This Notice must be filed with the Executive Director of the Idaho State Bar by February 1 of each year.
The Trust Account Certification, which is a part of the annual licensing procedure, authorizes the financial institution holding your general trust account to convert it to an IOLTA account.
The Idaho Bar Commission Rule 302 and Idaho Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 govern a lawyer's handling of monies and/or properties for the lawyer's clients. These rules have been adopted by order of the Idaho Supreme Court and must be adhered to in order to practice law in the state of Idaho.
Does my participation in IOLTA deprive my clients of their interest money?
No. The program was not meant to utilize money from all clients trust deposits - only those nominal in amount or to be held for short periods of time. Clients' funds that are substantial in amount or to be held for a long period of time are to be placed in a separate trust account solely for that specific client.
Are there any administrative duties caused by the program?
No. IOLTA imposes no administrative burden on participating attorneys or law firms. A participating attorney or firm places nominal or short-term deposits into a single unsegregated account. This unsegregated account bears interest, but this should not affect how an attorney or law firm handles client's trust deposits.
What are the tax consequences of participation in the program?
There are none to the client or the attorney. The Idaho Law Foundation receives the interest from participating trust accounts and is exempt from federal income tax.
Information for Banks
What is the Automatic Reporting of Trust Account Overdrafts (ARTAO)?
Any financial institution that wishes to be approved to maintain client trust accounts must agree to automatically notify the Idaho State Bar of any instrument presented on an attorney's trust account that would result in an overdraft, even if the bank does not actually return the check.
How does the program affect financial institutions?
Participating financial institutions - not attorneys - are responsible for transmitting interest income to the Idaho Law Foundation. The court's enabling opinion provides that the Foundation will absorb any financial institution's special charges or fees for its involvement in IOLTA, by directing that interest payments be net of such charges and fees.
Do all financial institutions participate in this program?
Most financial institutions in Idaho are presently participating in the program. Click here for the List of Participating Financial Institutions. If a financial institution needs additional information about the program, please contact Debbie Dudley.
To honor banks that commit to offering favorable interest rates on IOLTA accounts, even in uncertain financial times, the Idaho Law Foundation created the Leadership Bank program. Leadership Banks agree to:
- Pay an interest rate of at least 70% of the Federal Funds rate, based on net yield of all accounts held;
- Waive all service fees and charges on IOLTA accounts; and
- Meet basic IOLTA reporting requirements.
Information for Grant Seekers
Who may apply for an IOLTA grant?
IOLTA will only consider funding requests from organizations that meet at least one of the following funding criteria areas:
- To provide legal aid to the poor;
- To provide law-related education programs for the public;
- To provide scholarships and student loans;
- To improve the administration of justice; or
- For such other programs for the benefit of the public as are specifically approved from time to time by the Supreme Court of Idaho.
How and when does a qualifying organization apply for an IOLTA grant?
The Idaho Law Foundation usually accepts applications between mid July and mid September each year. Our website will announce any requests for proposals. Completed applications must be submitted to Idaho Law Foundation by the published deadline. During the application period downloadable grant applications are available on the Idaho Law Foundation website. If your organization would like to receive notice of the next available grant application cycle, please send complete business contact information to Lindsey Peterson.
What is the grant period for IOLTA grants?
Grants are funded for a calendar year, from January 1 to December 31.
How are IOLTA grant decisions made?
Grants are reviewed by the IOLTA Grant Committee who makes funding recommendations to the Idaho Law Foundation Board of Directors.
What should an organization do if they do not spend all of their grant money?
If a grant recipient has not used all grant funds by the end of the grant year, the grant recipient must take one of the following actions no later than 60 days after the end of the grant year:
- Submit a written request to the Idaho Law Foundation for an extension of time to spend the remaining grant funds. This request must include the reason why funds were not spent in the grant year and an outline of how and when funds will be spent.
- Return the unspent funds to the Idaho Law Foundation.
What are the reporting requirements for grantees?
Information concerning reporting requirements is outlined in paragraph 5(b) of the IOLTA contract. The report includes the following information:
- Name of program;
- A detailed financial report on expenditure of IOLTA funds;
- A financial report of your organization showing the relationship of IOLTA funds to overall funding of the project;
- A narrative report indicating what was accomplished by the expenditure of IOLTA funds and the progress made toward the purpose for which said funds were granted; and
- Signature and verification of responsible person.
Failure to file the required report within 60 days of the end of the grant period will be grounds to terminate disbursement of any future grant funds and to request return of any funds not properly accounted for.
Rule Change
Why did the IOLTA rules change?
The new IOLTA rules address both fairness and need in a way that will help the IOLTA grant program increase its funding for essential and underfunded Idaho programs that provide legal services to the poor and law related education to the public.
IOLTA accounts were originally set up as interest-bearing checking accounts, regardless of the balance on the account. Over time, banks have created different types of products that have the features necessary for trust checking accounts, but pay higher rates of interest than are paid on interest bearing checking accounts. Yet, many banks kept IOLTA accounts in lower paying checking accounts, even when they met the requirements for higher paying accounts. The rate comparability rule simply asks banks to treat IOLTA accounts like similarly situated non-IOLTA accounts.
What does the new IOLTA rule do?
The new IOLTA rules eliminate the old opt-out rule, institute rate comparability, and institutionalize IOLTA reporting requirements. These new rules are included in the Idaho Bar Commission Rules, Section XIII, Trust Accounts, Rules 1302 to 1306 and 1309.
Rate comparability helps optimize income received for IOLTA grants. It requires attorneys and law firms to place their IOLTA accounts at financial institutions that agree to pay the highest interest rate generally available at those institutions for other customers when IOLTA accounts meet the same minimum balance or other account qualifications, if any. To date, more than 30 states have adopted rate comparability for their IOLTA programs.
Can I still opt-out of participation in IOLTA?
The new IOLTA rule limits the reasons an attorney or law firm may opt-out. Attorneys or law firms may request an exemption by submitting a letter to the Idaho State Bar that provides evidence that compliance with IOLTA rules would create an undue hardship on the lawyer or law firm and would be extremely impractical, based on geographic distance between the lawyer or law firm's principal office and the closest financial institution participating in the IOLTA program.
When did the IOLTA rules change?
The new IOLTA rules were voted on by members of the Bar during the 2011 resolution process. The rules passed with 87% of the vote and were approved by the Idaho Supreme Court, effective July 1, 2012.
How will I know if my bank has been approved to hold IOLTA accounts?
The Idaho State Bar maintains a list of Approved Financial Institutions. The Idaho Law Foundation is still working to collect participation agreements from Idaho's financial institutions.
If your bank is not on the list, we suggest you contact your bank and encourage them to submit their signed IOLTA agreement so we can continue to partner with them.
How will the IOLTA rule change affect me?
Most attorneys and law firms will not even know that a change has occurred. The experience in the 30-plus states that have already adopted comprehensive IOLTA supports that conclusion. However, there are three instances when it may be possible that an attorney or law firm may have to make some changes.
- Attorneys or law firms who have previously chosen to opt-out of IOLTA may need to open an IOLTA account at one of the approved financial institutions.
- If an attorney or law firm has an IOLTA account at a financial institution that chooses to no longer participate in IOLTA, the attorney or law firm will need to move IOLTA accounts to a participating financial institution
- If an approved financial institution choses to set up a new account type to meet the IOLTA requirement, then attorneys or law firms may be asked to sign new IOLTA account agreements.
Will attorneys or law firms have to move their IOLTA accounts to financial institutions that pay higher interest rates?
The rule only requires that financial institutions pay the highest interest rate or dividend paid on similarly situated non-IOLTA accounts at their own financial institution.
Who is responsible for monitoring compliance with the IOLTA rules?
The Idaho Law Foundation will work with each of Idaho's participating financial institutions to assist with implementation and ensure compliance.

As a legislative leader, Robert Thompson is proud that Arkansas is one of a handful of states to maintain a balanced budget, while cutting taxes and providing essential state services, during the recent national economic recession. Since 2005, Robert has consistently supported Arkansas' balanced budget law and voted for the largest tax cut in Arkansas history. Robert Thompson believes that state government has, and should continue to, provide quality services to its citizens while always keeping a watchful eye on the bottom line.

The county's new librarian is taking criticism from the civil grand jury to heart.
Sara Jones, who took over as chief of Marin's library operations last month, said officials will provide a "significant overview" of Measure A library tax funding when the county Library Commission meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Novato library at 1720 Novato Blvd.
Library commissioners, she said, will be provided with an "opportunity for input of further details, decisions and reports the commission is interested in for their further involvement."
Jones, in candid commentary included with the commission agenda this week, added she agreed that "more input and oversight is desirable," saying she thought a recent grand jury report had merit.
"I believe the grand jury's report provides a good road map for the future of the Marin County Free Library and establishes priorities for me as the new library director," she said.
"The report indicates staff feel they were not involved enough in planning," she noted. "A thorough strategic planning process is needed and staff will provide foundational input and that is a top priority for me."
She has scheduled an "all-staff meeting" for Sept. 27, coupled with a community telephone survey aimed at broadening planning perspectives while assessing resources and services.
Jones takes the helm in the wake of a particularly biting grand jury probe, with jurors contending that oversight of the annual $2.5 million library parcel tax fund was ineffective, plagued by "lack of involvement" from the library commission. The panel operates in the dark and asks few questions about a fragmented budget that makes expenses difficult to track, the jury said. Jurors portrayed the commission as having neither bark nor bite, saying commissioners engaged in "virtually no discussion or dialogue on substantive issues" and "gave no feedback, offered no opinions and had no open discussions of issues."
The commission, appointed by county supervisors in 2010 as the independent "watchdog" panel voters were promised would audit Marin's $49 Measure A parcel tax, has done little to fulfill its oversight role, with "input ... limited to twice-yearly reports from the library administration," the jury concluded, adding the panel has no communication with county supervisors.
County supervisors promptly reappointed four commission incumbents but otherwise gave the jury report a rare reception by embracing many of its observations. In a departure from business as usual, the Board of Supervisors agreed with or called for more study of most jury criticisms. "The library needs to do a better job of showing how the Measure A funds are being used to benefit the communities," supervisors agreed. "The library will work to improve this transparency."
Jones, head of the Carson City library system who was honored as Nevada's 2012 co-librarian of the year, took command of the Marin County library July 8.
In Carson City, colleagues credited the 51-year-old Jones with computer, media lab, business and youth club improvements as well as launching what one called "a team approach that was well-received and won over the rank and file."
She joins a Marin organization in which morale has been ebbing, with an employee survey indicating lackluster support for management. Issues cited by some include a "best seller" book priority mentality that comes at the expense of older works and resource materials that have been tossed out.
Jones earned a bachelor's degree in interpersonal communications from Boise State University and a master's in library and information science from Syracuse University.

I installed daylighters and...
Went muddin last night... Well spent 3 hours trying to get my friend out of a mud hole.. And my volts dipped down a lot while sitting around. I made it home pushing 10 volts. Had my daylighters on for about a half hour jeep not running. Figured it would charge up on the way home. Not the case. Alternator tested bad. Has a warranty so replaced it. Still no volts so replaced alt fuse #1. Worked for about 3 minutes never turned daylighters on just head lights. Then volts dipped down far again because fuse blew. Took my truck back to autozone got 3 more fuses, all the 50 amps they have, and discovered there is an alt fuse 1 and 2. And 2 was bad also. Replaced both drove around for 10 minutes with daylighters and headlights on no problems. Would the one fuse being bad put too much load on the other blowing it?
If they are in the same circuit, yes. The current they share and divide up would be sent across the other if the one were to blow. I don't know if they are wired in the same circuit like that though. What size fuse do you have in your Daylighters btw? Also, the distance from the light and the lights relay can affect amperage, it will draw more amps when it is further downstream. You want your relay as close as possible to the light, and you need your lights main circuit fuse as close as possible to the + power source. I'm not saying you did, but I know guys who hook up their electrical aux equipment and think they can put the fuses, relays, and switches wherever they want, and that's not always the case. It takes more voltage to push amperage across a longer wire than it does a shorter wire.
It is very important to make sure you are using the correct size fuses in your aux electrical systems, too big and you'll burn up your equipment, over-wear your alternator, and possibly cause an electrical fire, not enough and you'll blow them left and right. I don't know what size fuses the 1 and 2 alternator slots take, but make sure that they are correct and confirm with the manual that 50's will be ok. Don't expect what you remove from the Jeep to be the correct part for it, Previous Owners could have altered the system at some point and just stuck a bigger fuse in there just because they didn't want to blow them anymore and bypass the real problem, just a suggestion. Do you have a stock alternator or high performance one btw?
Stock alternator. The fuse box cover calls for 50s. The KC lights don't have a relay included in the kit, just a 20amp fuse on the power from battery to switch. I always make sure there is as little wire as possible. I have also thought about doing relays for my headlights but have not found a good diagram to go off of nor do I know what relays to use.
A 30amp relay is good for a pair of lights. If they are 100 watt bulbs. When the lights draw enough juice, the relay will kick out to prevent melting the wires. Its always a good idea to run aftermarket lights through a relay system, just to be safe, as well as having a professional look to the wiring.
You should never let the Daylighters on without the engine running, that could cause permanent damage to the electrical and charging system.
There already is a relay built into the wiring for the headlights, so there is no need to wire one in for them.
Most relays you can get at an auto parts store has the wiring diagram for them printed either on the packaging or on the relay itself.
Leaving the lights on for a period of time, while not recommended, won't damage the battery unless the voltage drops below about 9 volts, at which point you risk causing cell failure inside of the battery, which is impossible to recover from.
I recommend buying a relay pack off of Amazon.com or eBay.com, just a Bosh style relay. Don't forget to buy the ones that include the sockets for simplicity. Then proceed to wire them in. You should do the headlights while you're at it, meaning you uneed to pick up some 12-14awg wire for the headlight connections, and if the wiring going to your headlights is bad enough then you'll need to get enough to do that (12 feet should be plenty). Also, don't forget to grab a couple of fuse cradles, and some 20 amp fuses.
Sending the full 13.6-14 volts directly to your headlights and Daylighters will improve light output quite a bit as well as build in some safety for your electrical system.
How many relays should I get?

Dennis Rodman spent many years in the National Basketball Association where he dazzled fans, not only with his performance on the court, but with his wonderful daily transformations from being dark haired on Monday and a red headed on Wednesday. Dennis is a man for all seasons. For some reason, the leader of North Korea enjoys the company of Dennis, and I assume they spend hours shooting basketballs– when Kim Jong-un is not busy shooting missiles into the air. Anyway, Dennis headed once again to the wonderful land of North Korea in order to enjoy some time discussing world events –and basketball– with the pudgy little man who runs North Korea. Kim Jong-un the day before cancelled a visit by an American diplomat who wanted to seek release from jail of a tourist manager who was arrested on charges of attempting to destroy the land of Kim Jong-un. Dennis said the purpose of his visit was to "show the people around the world that we as Americans can actually get along with Korea."
The underlying reason for this visit was not to get a man released from jail who is slowly dying, but something much more important. "I just want to meet my friend Kim, the marshal, and start a basketball league over there or something like that." I wonder if Dennis will get a guided tour of North Korean prisons where he could give basketballs to those who are starving. After all, a few games of basketball go a long way to kill a day when you are slowly being killed.
So, tell me Dennis, will your arrive in red or blue or blond hair??

The Murray and Lower Darling valleys include the world's largest stand of river red gums and a 1700 kilometre stretch of Australia's longest river, the Murray.
The Murrumbidgee river is one of Australia's most regulated river systems, which poses some unique challenges and opportunities for the management of environment flows in the catchment.
The Lachlan valley has an area of 90,000 square kilometres, extending from the Great Dividing Range to the Great Cumbung Swamp on the Riverine plains.
This valley is home to a mosaic of wetlands, from marshes and shallow waterholes to broader floodplain woodlands inundated only during significant flooding.
The Macquarie valley is home to the iconic Macquarie marshes – one of the largest remaining semi-permanent wetland systems in inland Australia, which has hosted some of the largest-scale waterbird breeding ever recorded on the continent.
Water that is allocated and managed specifically to improve the health of rivers, wetlands and floodplains is known as environmental water.

Families are all set to celebrate Rakhi. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread on the wrists of their brothers and the brother in return promises to protect his sister till death. There are many Rakhi sweets that are commonly made during this time. Traditionally, ladoo, barfi, kheer, gujiya and gulab jamun are seen on the plate on this festival. If your brother loves to have gulab jamun, surprise him today by trying this easy recipe. Here is a simple recipe to make malai gulab jamun and treat your brother this Rakhi.
Malai gulab jamun recipe
Serves: 3-5
Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Cream powdered milk- 1 cup
- Sooji- 4tbsp
- Maida- 4tbsp
- Milk- 1 cup (to make dough)
- Baking Powder- ½ tsp
- Ghee for frying
For filling:
- Cream/malai- 1 cup
- Coconut- ½ cup (grated)
For sugar syrup
- Sugar- 2 cups
- Water- 2 cups
- Make a dough of maida, sooji, milk powder, milk, baking powder and ghee. Knead a soft dough and leave for 2-3 hours.
- After leaving the dough for a few hours, add more milk and then knead into a soft dough again. This is done because the dough becomes stiff and hard after leaving it for 2 or more hours.
- Heat a frying pan. Add ghee for frying the jamun. Let it heat on low flame. You can also use vegetable oil.
- Meanwhile, make small round jamuns and keep them in a plate. You can apply a little ghee on your palms to roll the jamun balls easily.
- On the other gas burner, boil water in a deep bottomed pan. When it turns hot, add the sugar and make a syrup. Stir on low flame till the sugar melts. Let it cool after the sugar dissolves and the syrup is ready.
- Now, when the ghee is hot, fry the jamuns until they become brown. Take them out and dip in the sugar syrup. Let the jamun balls soak in sugar syrup for 3-4 hours.
- Take the jamuns out after soaking and gently squeeze out syrup.
- Make a small slit at one end and fill the malai. Sprinkle grated coconut over the gulab jamun.
This Rakhi sweet recipe is ready to eat. Celebrate the festival by indulging your sweet tooth!

The dining-room was empty, when Rand came down to breakfast the next morning.
Taking the seat he had occupied the evening before, he waited until Ritter came out of the
kitchen through the pantry.
"Good morning, Colonel Rand," the Perfect Butler greeted him unctuously. "If I may say
so, sir, you're a bit of an early riser. None of the family is up yet, sir."
Rand jerked a thumb toward the kitchen. "Who's out there?" he hissed.
"Just the cook; frying sausage and flipping pancakes. Premix pancakes, of course. The
maid sleeps out; she hasn't gotten here yet. How'd it go last night? You put a dummy
under the covers and sleep on the floor?"
"No, last night I was safe. The blow-off isn't due till this morning, when the women are at
church, and he'll have to catch me and the fall-guy together."
"What do you want me to do?" Ritter asked, giving an un-butler-like hitch at his
shoulder-holster. "I can stand on my official dignity, and get out of any cleaning-up work
till after dinner, and I won't have any buttling to do till the women get home from
"Case Varcek and Dunmore, when they come in; see if either of them is rod-heavy. Find
anything, last night?"
Ritter shook his head. "I searched Varcek's lab, after everybody was in bed, and I
searched the cars in the garage, and a lot of other places. I didn't find them. Whoever he
is, the chances are he has them in his room."
"Did you look back of the books in the library?" Rand asked. When Ritter shook his
head, he continued: "That's probably where they are. Not that it makes a whole lot of

later, sir?"

Health in Ghana
|Health indicators
|Life expectancy
|Infant mortality
|14% (2010)
|Obesity female
|Obesity male
Health in Ghana includes the healthcare systems on prevention, care and treatment of diseases and other maladies.
In the 16th century, traditionally, village healers and clerics were the primary care givers, offering herbal remedies. Though herbalists have traditionally offered the most ready treatment of illness, premodern traditional beliefs stressed the combination of spiritual and physical healing. Western medicine was introduced by Christian missionaries to the Gold Coast in the 19th century. This region was most involved in the development of a new health care system.[1]
A pre-medical department was formed initially, and in 1878, the Towns, Police, and Public Health Ordinance was enforced under its direction, initiating the construction and demolishing of infrastructure, draining of the streets, and issuing of fines to those that failed to comply with the heads of the colony. In 1893, a Public Works Department was introduced to implement a working sanitation system for the colony.[1]
In the 1880s, a Medical Department was formed, bringing about an introduction to a formal medical system, consisting of a Laboratory Branch for research, a Medical Branch of hospitals and clinics, and the Sanitary Branch for public health. After the war, the central government made a concentrated effort to expand western style medical facilities; and after World War II, both the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund had been active in providing money and support to provide additional western medical care in Ghana.[1]
In Ghana, most health care is provided by the government and largely administered by the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Services. The healthcare system has five levels of providers: health posts which are first level primary care for rural areas, health centers and clinics, district hospitals, regional hospitals and tertiary hospitals.
These programs are funded by the government of Ghana, financial credits, Internally Generated Fund (IGF), and Donors-pooled Health Fund.[2] Hospitals and clinics run by Christian Health Association of Ghana also provide healthcare services. There are 200 hospitals in Ghana. Some for-profit clinics exist, but they provide less than 2% of health care services.
Health care is very variable through Ghana. Urban centres are well served, and contain most hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in the country. Rural areas often have no modern health care. Patients in these areas either rely on traditional African medicine, or travel great distances for health care. In 2005, Ghana spent 6.2% of GDP on health care, or US$30 per capita. Of that, approximately 34% was government expenditure.[3]
In 2015, life expectancy at birth is 66.18 years with males at 63.76 years and females at 68.66 years,[4] and infant mortality is at 37.37 per 1000 live births.[5] The total fertility rate is 4.06 children per woman among the 15 million Ghanaian nationals. There was about 15 physicians and 93 nurses per 100,000 persons in 2010.[6]
5.2% of Ghana's GDP was spent on health in 2010,[7] and all Ghanaian citizens have access to primary health care 97.5% of the Ghana population.[8] Ghana's universal health care system has been described as the most successful healthcare system on the Africa continent by the renowned business magnate and tycoon Bill Gates.[8]
National Health Insurance[edit]

Ghana has a universal health care system, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS),[9] and until the establishment of the National Health Insurance Scheme, many people died because they did not have money to pay for their health care needs when they were taken ill. The system of health which operated was known as the "Cash and Carry" system. Under this system, the health need of an individual was only attended to after initial payment for the service was made.[10] Even in cases when patients had been brought into the hospital on emergencies, it was required that money was paid at every point of service delivery. When the country returned to democratic rule in 1992, its health care sector started seeing improvements in terms of:
- Service delivery
- Human resource improvement
- Public education about health condition
even with these initiatives in place, many still could not access health care services because of the cash and carry system.
The idea for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Ghana was conceived by former president John Kufuor who when seeking the mandate of the people in the 2000 elections, promised to abolish the "cash and carry system" of health delivery.[11] Upon becoming president, former president Kufuor pushed through his idea of getting rid of "cash and carry" and replacing it with an equitable insurance scheme that ensured that treatment was provided first before payment. In 2003, the scheme was passed into law. Under the law, there was the establishment of National Health Insurance Authority which licenses, monitors and regulates the operation of health insurance schemes in Ghana. Like many countries in the world, Ghana's health insurance was fashioned out to meet specific needs of its citizens. Since its inception, the country's health facilities have seen constant rise in patient numbers and a considerable reduction in deaths.
According to the World Health Organization, the most common diseases in Ghana include those endemic to sub-Saharan African countries, particularly: cholera, typhoid, pulmonary tuberculosis, anthrax, pertussis, tetanus, chicken pox, yellow fever, measles, infectious hepatitis, trachoma, malaria, HIV and schistosomiasis. Though not as common, other regularly treated diseases include dracunculiasis, dysentery, river blindness or onchocerciasis, several kinds of pneumonia, dehydration, venereal diseases, and poliomyelitis.[12]
In 1994, the WHO reported malaria and measles were the most common causes of premature death. In 1994, children under five, 70 percent of deaths were caused by an infection compounded by malnutrition.[12] A 2011 report by the Ghana Health Service said that malaria was the primary cause of morbidity and about 32.5 percent of people admitted to Ghanaian medical facilities were admitted because of malaria.[13]
Like other countries worldwide, HIV/AIDS is present in Ghana.[14] In 2014, the estimated people that had HIV were 9,200 people out of Ghana's whole population. Also, the 2014 HIV prevalence rate was 1.47%. It actually increased from 1.3% in 2012 to 1.47% like mentioned before.[15]
In response to the HIV epidemic, the Government of Ghana established the Ghana AIDS Commission, which coordinates efforts amongst international organizations and other parties to support education about eradication of HIV/AIDS throughout Ghana by the year 2022.[14]
Women's health[edit]
The health of women in Ghana is critical for national development. Women's health issues in the country are largely centered on nutrition, reproductive health and family planning.[16] Reproduction is the source of many health problems for women in Ghana. The Ghana Living Standards Survey Report of the Fifth Round revealed that about 96.4% of women reported that they, or their partners, were using modern forms of contraception.[17]
This statistic has significant importance in reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS, which affected 120,000 women in Ghana in 2012 (of the 200,000 people living with the disease in Ghana in 2012).[18] Interventions for improving the health of women in Ghana, such as the Ghana Reproductive Health Strategic Plan 2007-2011, focus on maternal morbidity and mortality, contraceptive use and family planning services, and total empowerment of women.[19]
Maternal and child health care[edit]
The 2015 maternal mortality rate per 100,000 births for Ghana is 319.[20] This is compared with 409.2 in 2008 and 549 in 1990. The under 5 mortality rate, per 1,000 births is 72 and the neonatal mortality as a percentage of under 5's mortality is 39. In Ghana the number of midwives per 1,000 live births is 5 and the lifetime risk of death for pregnant women 1 in 66.[21]
Breast cancer[edit]
In Ghana, breast cancer is the leading malignancy.[22] In 2007, breast cancer accounted for 15.4% of all malignancies, and this number increases annually.[22] Roughly 70% of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer in Ghana are in the advanced stages of the disease.[23] In addition, a recent study has shown that women in Ghana are more likely to be diagnosed with high-grade tumors that are negative for expression of the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and the HER2/neu marker.[24] These triple negative breast tumors are more aggressive and result in higher breast cancer mortality rates.[24]
Explanations for the delayed presentation among women in Ghana have been traced to the cost of, and access to, and routine screening mammography.[23][25] Furthermore, women with breast cancer in Ghana describe a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness, largely due to their belief in fatalism, which contributes to denial as a means of coping.[25] Mayo et al. (2003) conclude, however, that lack of awareness may be a more critical variable than fatalism in explaining health care decisions among women in Ghana.
Over the past decade, international delegations and nongovernmental organizations have started responding to the growing problem of breast cancer in Ghana. In particular, the Breast Health Global Initiative and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure established a Ghana Breast Cancer Alliance to help increase early detection and reduce the breast cancer mortality rate in the country. Through public education, awareness, training, and particularly promotion of early detection practices, international aid groups have helped in improving the situation in Ghana.[26]
Water supply and sanitation[edit]
Since 1994, the water supply and sanitation sector has been gradually modernized through the creation of an autonomous regulatory agency, introduction of private sector participation, and decentralization of the rural supply to 138 districts, where user participation is encouraged. The reforms aim at increasing cost recovery and a modernization of the urban utility Ghana Water Company Ltd. (GWCL), as well as of rural water supply systems.[27] The National Water Policy (NWP), launched at the beginning of 2008, seeks to introduce a comprehensive sector policy.[28]
Water resources[edit]
Ghana is well endowed with water resources. The Volta River system basin, consisting of the Oti River, Daka River, Pru River, Sene River and Afram River as well as the White Volta and Black Volta rivers, covers 70% of Ghana's total land area. Another 22% of Ghana is covered by the southwestern river system watershed comprising the Bia River, Tano River, Ankobra River and Pra River. The coastal river system watershed, comprising the Ochi-Nawuka River, Ochi-Amissah River, Ayensu River, Densu River and Tordzie River, covers the remaining 8% of Ghana.
Furthermore, groundwater in Ghana is available in mesozoic and cenozoic sedimentary rocks and in sedimentary formations underlying the Volta Basin. Lake Volta, with a surface of 8,500 km², is the Earth's largest artificial lake. In all, the total actual renewable water resources are estimated to be 53.2 billion m³ per year.[29]

Stung Sienna hits back

Sienna Miller has allegedly been snapped kissing former flame Orlando Bloom.
Photo: Supplied
Cheating Jude Law has been given more to think about with pictures of his fiancee Sienna Miller apparently kissing Orlando Bloom appearing in the press.
Betrayed Miller was photographed with former lover and Lord Of The Rings star Bloom at a polo match.
Miller, 23, and Bloom, 28, were pictured gazing into each other's eyes and then kissing at the Cartier International polo event in Windsor, Berkshire.
It came just a week after Law, 32, was forced to publicly apologise to Miller over revelations about an affair he had with his nanny Daisy Wright, 26, who was employed to look after his children.
Law, who has twice been nominated for an Oscar, said he was ''deeply ashamed and upset'' at his behaviour and is said to be trying to win Miller back.
The couple are still officially engaged, although Miller has taken off her STG20,000 ($A46,000) engagement ring.

Sharp net profit up 40% in first half
Page Tools
Leading electronics maker Sharp said on Wednesday interim net profit rose 40.7 percent to a record high on robust sales of liquid crystal display TVs and camera-equipped cellphones but it cautioned on the outlook due to the possible impact of high oil prices on global economic growth.
Group net profit rose to ¥39.3 billion ($US367 million) from ¥27.9 billion a year earlier in the six months to September.
Recurring profit rose 37.3 percent to ¥71.7 billion as sales grew 14.9 percent to ¥1.26 trillion, both record highs for the six-month period.
"To expand our sales of LCD colour televisions further, we launched new products and boosted the line-up, particularly of large models," Sharp Corp. said in a statement.
"We also sought to enhance products using our own devices, such as camera-equipped cellular phones that can cope with third-generation services."
For the year to March 2005, Sharp left its forecasts unchanged at a net profit of ¥75 billion and recurring profit of ¥140 billion on sales of ¥2.53 trillion.
"The outlook does not warrant optimism as there are lingering concerns about slower global economic growth due to higher crude oil prices although the Japanese economy is believed to stay on a recovery track," the company said.
"Sharp expects a 20-30 percent drop in spot prices of LCD panels for computers by the end of the current fiscal year due to oversupply from South Korean and Taiwanese makers," said executive vice president Hiroshi Saji.
"But as sales of PC-use LCD panels account for only 10 percent of our entire LCD sales, and as we focus on more valued-added LCD TV applications, the adverse impact will be minor," Saji told reporters.
In the first half, Sharp sold 1.11 million LCD TVs and posted sales of ¥731.7 billion, both up nearly two-fold from a year earlier.
As overseas demand for LCD TVs did not grow as much as expected, Sharp has reduced its full-year LCD TV sales projection to 2.7 million units from 3.0 million but it has maintained the revenue estimate at ¥300 billion.
To further bolster LCD TV sales, Sharp said it would spend an additional ¥50 billion to put into operation a third LCD motherboard production line at its main Kameyama plant in central Japan early next year.

Grupo Acosta Verde's decision to hold comes after two other fibras list at the bottom of their range
Grupo Acosta Verde's
Fibra Sendero put off its IPO Wednesday, citing market
conditions, in a move that comes as international investor
demand wanes for Mexican real estate funds.
Six fibras — fondos de inversión en
bienes raíces — have tapped the equity
market this year, raising 52.36 billion pesos ($4 billion). But
the excitement that surrounded the asset class at the time of
Fibra Uno's $1.7 billion January follow-on is
now waning.
"Fibras are undergoing an important valuation correction.
They should not see the same volume next year as this year,"
says a senior ECM banker.
The market needs to digest the existing real estate funds
before sizeable new issuance can resume, he says.
Fibra Danhos priced a 5.98 billion peso IPO last month at
the bottom of the range, as did
Fibra Shop in July when raising 5.46 billion pesos. The
pair had traded down 3.7% and 7.3%, respectively, through
US developer
Prologis, meanwhile, has yet to launch its deal filed last
Sendero's shopping mall-focused real estate
fund was expected to raise around 5.94 billion pesos. The fund
has 10 malls in five Mexican states, and aims to acquire land
to develop six more.
The strength of the Mexican ECM pipeline for the rest of
2013 remains unclear. Grupo Alfa has prepared initial documents
for the IPO of the Sigma food products unit, hoping to price by
the end of the year and capture the momentum of
Grupo Lala, which raised 14 billion pesos through its October
Brazilian firms, meanwhile, are also hoping for a chance to
raise capital. Retailer
Via Varejo filed for a follow-on last month, but has held
off launching the transaction. Yet travel service provider
CVC Brasil Operadora e Agencia de Viagens has seen the
opportunity to move forward, launching a 700m real ($299
million) IPO which scheduled for December 5.

NSG row over, India, China talk N-cooperation
Dr Singh and Wen Jiabao discussed the outcome of boundary talks.
New York: Putting behind them the mistrust sparked by China's perceived negative role in the NSG, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held talks with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday and agreed to push cooperation in civilian nuclear energy between the countries.
"They had a very warm and friendly meeting. The two countries have cooperated in the past and we propose to do so in the future too," Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon told reporters.
"China joined consensus in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). That issue is behind us," Menon said after the first meeting between Manmohan Singh and Wen after the September 6 Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG) waiver to India to resume global civilian nuclear commerce.
In the past, China had supplied fuel for the Tarapur nuclear plant. Post the NSG waiver, the two countries now want to firm up their strategic partnership and cooperate on a range of global issues, including multilateral trade negotiations and climate change, Menon said.
India conveyed its disappointment to China over its perceived negative role in trying to block the consensus in the September 4 to Spetmeber 6 NSG meeting in Vienna when Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi visited New Delhi last month. Yang had, however, repudiated Indian assessment and insisted vigorously that Beijing played a "constructive and positive" role in the nuclear cartel.
The two Prime Ministers' meeting in New York on Wednesday has, however, set a positive tone for Manmohan Singh's visit to Beijing next month to attend the ASEM conclave of Asian and European leaders.
This was the seventh meeting in the last four-and-a-half years between the two leaders who share a personal rapport, Menon said.
They also discussed "similar approaches" to major global issues and shared their experience in inclusive development and inclusive globalization. Describing the decades-old border dispute as "a complicated issue", the two leaders "expressed satisfaction" at the progress so far in their negotiations on the boundary dispute.
They encouraged their Special Representatives - the chief pointsperson for boundary negotiationsb - to continue the talks, Menon said.
India and China concluded their 12th round of boundary talks last week without a breakthrough due to the gap between their versions of the agreed framework for the settlement of the boundary question.
The two sides also expressed optimism about achieving $60 billion trade much before the 2010 deadline.
Manmohan, Wen talk aam admi
In a warm gesture of friendship, Wen Jiabao presented Manmohan Singh with a signed book containing the speeches by the two leaders on inclusive globalisation and development.
The Chinese premier, who enjoys a personal rapport with Manmohan Singh, also shared China's experience in inclusive development.
They signed their respective copy and exchanged it, Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon told reporters after the meeting between the two leaders at New York Palace Hotel.
The book, published by Cambridge University Press, contains the speech delivered by Manmohan Singh on inclusive globalisation at the Cambridge University a couple of years ago and Wen's recent speech at Singapore University on inclusive development.
They also discussed "similar approaches" to major global issues and shared their experience in inclusive development and inclusive globalization. Both India and China, rising economic powers, are facing the growing spectre of economic inequality and are trying to put the aam admi (common man) at the centre of their development process.
The book diplomacy set a positive tone for the first meeting between the two leaders after the NSG waiver in Vienna last month. China's perceived role in the NSG had threatened to strain bilateral ties, but India has since then sought to put behind it this issue in the interests of better relations.
This was the seventh meeting in the last four-and-a-half years between the two leaders who share a personal rapport.

Previously called Cotswold Lion
The Cotswolds Conservation Board is celebrating 40 years of protected status for the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). And Hook Norton has joined in the celebrations with a new brew Cotswold Lion, at 4.2 per cent ABV, to mark the occasion, and 5p from every pint sold is being donated to the Cotswolds Conservation Board. The beer is a pale, fruity ale, brewed with Maris Otter malt and hopped with Fuggles. Brewer James Clarke said: "This is the first time we have brewed a single varietal beer." Over the past four decades AONB designation has meant that the Cotswolds has been conserved and enhanced and that any change has, where possible, been in keeping with the distinctive nature of the area. HRH, The Prince of Wales who lives in the AONB has praised the work that has been done to conserve the Cotswolds over the past four decades and has said that he hopes that the Cotswolds Conservation Board will continue its work for countless years to come.

New reports have emerged that Chris hit on women with the unthinkable pickup line, 'I promise I won't beat you'. Is there any wonder why he is one of the most hated men in America?
Chris Brown viciously beat Rihanna in 2009 — an action I found unforgivable. But during the same week Chris shared his frustration with the media for not forgetting the past so he can sing, he allegedly made light of the incident in a way that is nothing short of infuriating.
Chris, 22, allegedly asked a female fan, "Can I get your number? I promise I won't beat you", Us Weekly reports. While his rep denies it, Chris has a history of violent and aggressive speech, along with a lack of true guilt for his actions.
I think the problem here is that Chris thinks people hate him just because they can't let go of the past. As one of the millions who honestly hopes his career comes to an end, I can tell you for certain that is not the issue. While he is a monster for what he did to Rihanna, it is so much worse that he has the gall to joke about the incident.
If he were to put his tail between his legs and act humble, maybe people would be less critical. But when Chris uses Twitter for homophobic hate and interviews as opportunities to throw chairs through windows, people see him for what he really is: a hateful blowhard who doesn't deserve a moment of our time or consideration.
Unless he can come out and seem sincere in his apologies and really try to turn his life around, I wish Chris nothing but professional failure. I don't need to forgive and forget, and neither do fans.
Are YOU able to give Chris ANOTHER chance, HollywoodLifers?

The great thing about Qi related accessories is that they are compatible with Qi supported products made by a host of companies. More than 130, actually. Qi's release didn't mention a price or availability date, but it did note that the feature was demonstrated at Samsung Unpacked 2013. More than 170 Qi related products have been made and McDonalds, as we recently told you, is looking into the idea of bringing wireless charging onto its restaurants with a test being conducted in Europe.
Maybe you're disappointed that no native wireless charging solution was offered for the Samsung Galaxy S 4, maybe you're not. The bottom line is that this option will be available for those who want to cut the last cord.

Hi all!
I'm just itching to buy this gun. Hell, I'm just itching to buy a 1911 in general and my research has led to me this particular weapon. I'm looking to get a 1911 for range use. I already have a Sig P226 for home defense and a Kahr P9 for concealed use, so this gun is intended to be something for fun and something I might carry on rare occasions. I'm looking to buy the stainless and not the black version because it's way cheaper ($400 less) and also because it looks so shiny and amazing!
Anyone else have this gun? Am I crazy for wanting to get this thing? It will be my first 45 and I'm looking for a classic looking 1911 45 with amazing trigger that I'll enjoy firing at the range and fondling when the wife isn't looking. I've also fired the Sig 1911, which I loved, and various Kimbers which I also enjoyed but didn't really like the looks of.
Looking for advice. I can pick this up for $1500 or so before tax. Good buy? Anything else I should consider?
Thanks all!
