Tactical-Style 22 LR Carbines: Ruger, S&W, Legacy Duke It Out
Smith & Wesson�s M&P 15-22 AR-15 rimfire reproduction and Ruger�s SR-22 AR-styled 10/22 are winners, our testers agreed. The Legacy Sports Puma Wildcat is an interesting wild card.
The evaluation of tactical or military-style carbines chambered for 22 LR doesn�t come as a surprise to our readers, who�ve been asking for a story on the topic for months. But we admit we�re surprised that the production of rimfire rifles in full-size carbine trim is such a big trend. So many different models are currently available or on someone�s drawing board, it�s going to take two or three more articles to cover the entire category. So let�s get started.
In this rimfire test we will look at two AR-15 derivatives and another carbine that more closely resembled a 1941 Russian machine gun. Our test guns were the Ruger SR-22R No. 1226 22 LR, $625; Smith & Wesson�s M&P 15-22 No. 811030 22 LR, $569; and the Legacy Sports Puma Wildcat PPS2250S 22 LR, $550. Certainly, training was the most obvious reason for our test guns to be built�but we wanted to know if they were fun, too.
How we tested was determined by the facility of each carbine to support open sights and/or a scope. The Legacy Puma was fit with open sights and a grooved rail machined into the receiver. The Ruger SR-22 and the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 each supplied rail support for mounting a scope or a set of clamp-on sights. A complete set of sights were supplied with the Smith & Wesson. But the Ruger was shipped with only a Picatinny rail atop the receiver. Before we could finish dialing up www.yankeehillmachine.com to order a set of AR-15 sights to be mounted on to the Ruger SR-22, we decided instead to use the Smith & Wesson-supplied sights and put them on the Ruger for recording shots of record from the 25-yard line. The accuracy totals would be more head to head, we reasoned, and we�d save $100. Just factor the lack of sights into your buying decision if you go with the Ruger.
We also mounted a scope on each carbine and collected accuracy data from the 50-yard bench. For this test we fired only the ammunition that proved most accurate. Our test rounds were Federal Champion 40-grain solids and Federal�s 36-grain hollowpoint Value Pack ammunition. But it was our third choice that turned out to be the sole ammunition utilized for our 50-yard session. The 40-grain lead roundnose CCI Green Tag ammunition was judged superior in all three guns. However, performance was very close regardless of gun or ammunition. That we were forced to split hairs to determine which gun was more accurate says a lot about the guns, and we might add, the category itself.
For our 50-yard session we mounted a scope on each rifle. In the process we determined that one advantage to these guns was they afforded an inexpensive way to try out different accessories and master new techniques. We had with us some unusual devices, such as Insight�s MRDS mil-spec dot scope and Leupold�s Mark 4 3.5-10X40mm LR/T scope. The MRDS was an upgraded version of a recreational design that offered improved windage and elevation adjustments plus an on/off switch. We wanted to know how well it functioned. The Leupold scope was used in an earlier test (November 2008). The letters LR/T signify illuminated crosshairs plotted as a Tactical Milling Reticle. This means the hash marks seen on the crosshairs can be used as holdover points as they apply to different-caliber ammunition and bullet weights. In addition, the reticle can be used as a grid to mathematically compute changes in elevation settings. This is called ranging. For the limited purposes of our tests the two most important features were the overall layout of its unique reticle. Approximately the outer half length of each crosshair was wide and bold. The inner lines both up and down were fine crosshairs, but the point at which the they met was left empty. Near targets are to be taken with the eyes somewhat relaxed to allow for a manner of wide-angle focus placing the target inside the bracket of the dark crosshairs. To record our 50-yard accuracy data we narrowed our vision to the void at the center of the reticle. The opportunity to perfect techniques necessary for using either the MRDS or the Leupold LR/T scopes effectively, while shooting inexpensive rounds of 22 LR ammunition, was one of the reasons we would own a rimfire carbine like these.
Our targets for the long-range session were Caldwell�s 12-inch Sight-in Target with Orange Peel capability. This was a 1-foot square with four circles surrounding a diamond. We liked the Orange Peel feature because hits were highlighted with an orange ring, but the hits didn�t obliterate the original point of aim. Roger Eckstine handmade the 25-yard target, the Reckstine Sight-In Target, to help the shooters visually bracket the sight picture, placing the tip of the front sight upon the center ring. High-volume work was spent shooting at Caldwells�s Shooting Gallery�a great toy for high-capacity rimfire weapons. The $280 Shooting Gallery is a self-resetting, self-contained moving [IMGCAP(2)]target system. It allowed us to "hull" without tiresome target changes.
Let�s find out how each gun performed.

This one opened today and is still expanding. been working for wide,
ruffled reblooming BCs. I guess this qualifies, now to get something that
is pretty or at least something that doesn't cause revulsion. guess this
one would fit the "repell" category!
Mike - recovering from a hard drive/motherboard meltdown.
I've always just called them "haft markings" or "haft marks...along the
beard" or some such.
Some irises are enhanced by them. Others repell. It just depends on the
neatness and the biases of the viewer.
The more extreme ones result from nearly solid "umbrata" fall overlays,
using the term Linda Mann has introduced. The opposite extreme of "umbrata"
are the butterfly wing veinings covering the fall. The trait comes from
*Iris variegata.* I suspect all expressions of the markings you show are
variations of the umbrata pattern.
Most umbratas are bitone, but this one seems to have such intense
coloration in the standards it comes off as a self. The amoena from Meek in
a subsequent post in response to yours has both the Progenitor "I-sub-s*
inhibitor *and* the umbrata, as do many of the very dark bitones and

ok, enough goofing off. i need to write. locks self in office with enough food for a week
very tired today. not feeling like being social. think i'm just going to go sleep it off.
funny, but i joined to write erotica. i'm not sure that i can call what i write erotica anymore, though...? i just write stories. some of them have sex in them.
finally got my comp story done! yay! ok, back to Mrs V... sorry!
taking a little time off to write. try to check in, but...
it's a different kind of seduction...
Congratulations, Scotland, for passing the gay marriage act!
putting everything on hold - had a terrible idea for the comp entry, a story that should probably not be written, so... i'm writing it. if you're curious... well, Doll knows.
yee haw!
totally zoning right now...
ok, working in Mrs V - taking my time with it, want to make sure i get it right, so it might be a bit, but still writing, so no worries. having to go back and reread the previous parts a lot, to make sure i get the tone right, etc. writing, btw, is a lot of work, for those of you who don't know! LOL

Met Elvis today. sorry, folks. he really IS dead.
Hanging out with Cowgirl Grumby, having a great time. wish you were here. Rach
Dear Lush,I regret to inform you that Sprite passed away today in a tragic accident. During a bank robbery gone wrong, she drove into the Seattle Zoo and crashed into the penguin Feeding pit. Covered in fishy smells and raw oyster, she was viciously attacked and pecked to death by radioactive penguins. We're not sure how they became radioactive, but the coroner assures us that it is the reason her corpse is glowing, as opposed to divine ascension. A memorial will be held this weekend for local residents. All other, feel free to state your feelings in your own Memorial threads. Kate.
Time for a little tease: Mrs V's rules chapter is now at 4200 words. that's about 1/4 down. still in rough draft from. here's an excerpt: I watched him kiss her. Not the gentle peck that I was used to seeing my parent's exchange, but a lingering kiss that promised more. Much more. Once again, Abby's husband was on my radar. To be kissed like that… I didn't have time to finish that thought, however."Sit," my Mistress demanded, pointing to the living room sofa an almost impatient gesture.
Good bye, Josh.
the snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seena kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queenthe wind is howling like the swirling storm inside. couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I trieddon't let them in, don't let them see, be the good girl you always had to beconceal, don't feel, don't let them know
For those interested, it came to me last night that it's time to write another chapter for Mrs Vandermeer. how long will it take? not really sure, but yes, that's the plan. currently re-reading the series to get myself in the proper mood and then? time to write.
yeah, it's a new year, it's shiny, i'm taking it as a time to sort of have a do over - last couple of years were a bit rough.
headed out to Disneyland tomorrow so i won't be around for a bit
taking a leave of absense from the site to deal with personal stuff. sorry i've been out of touch lately.
yeah, it's been a week - thank you EVERYone who took the time to vote, comment, or just read my new story. i really do intend to send thank yous, but i just can't seem to get organized enough...
Got some stuff going on - probably be pretty quiet today.
today has been a damn good day so far.
btw: Great suggestions. we have just added an option on the Premium Member page for Lush Silver priced at $20. This just gives the ability of removing ads site wide.AND we have just purchased a new database server, hopefully you've seen the benefits of this with improved responsiveness of the site.
i owe a bunch of people PMs - sorry, they're coming, i just got kind of lost in writing for while...

The Federal Reserve says that American consumers are in hock to the tune of $2.75 trillion. That may sound like a lot, but it does not even include debts for housing like mortgages. No sir, we're just talking about money spent on everything else, like the stuff we buy to fill up our houses and garages.
Much of that debt is on credit cards, of course, because who doesn't love the convenience of plastic? According to the experts, we will probably add nearly $50 billion of debt to our trusty credit cards this year alone – adding to the $80 billon or so that we racked up in 2011 and 2012 (as we restrained ourselves and cut back because of the bad economy). Those figures are really too big to get your head around, though, unless you make your living as an economist or mathematician. Breaking it down to a more manageable size that's easier to relate to, the average household in the USA owes more than $15,000 in credit card debt.
Inevitably, every year tens of thousands of people saddled with unmanageable credit card debt declare bankruptcy – but it does not necessarily mean that their credit card problems go away anytime soon.
The Bush Era Bankruptcy Overhaul
One of the first major pieces of legislation that President George W. Bush signed into law was a bipartisan bill that made it much more difficult for Americans to eliminate their credit card obligations in bankruptcy court. Before that big change it was possible to accumulate debt with your plastic, declare bankruptcy, and have it essentially wiped away so that you could get a fresh start. The legislation – the most sweeping overhaul of bankruptcy law in a quarter century – was eight years in the making, and the credit card industry spent gobs of money paying Washington lobbyists to help push it through Congress.
Court Ordered Repayment
Nowadays, in the era following that seismic shift in policy, you can still declare bankruptcy, but you may very well wind up paying at least part of, and maybe all of, your credit card debts. Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, for example, the judge will typically set up a repayment plan for you to pay back your creditors a little at a time. That usually requires you to make a certain minimum payment each month for about three to five years. For people who have particularly low income and hardly any assets, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be an option. Under Chapter 7 you may be able to wipe out your credit card debts – but that's only because most of your financial assets have already been gutted.
Sneaky Planning Can Backfire
Sometimes clever cardholders decide to take shelter of bankruptcy, but first they go ahead and max-out their plastic. They reason, as long as they are going bust they have nothing to lose. That's not necessarily how it works, though, and this kind of strategy can totally come back to haunt you. Credit card companies and bankruptcy judges are already aware of this tactic, so if you run up your credit card bills to buy expensive items or you take out cash advances in the months' right before declaring bankruptcy, that behavior may be interpreted as fraudulent. To defend yourself, you'll have to provide convincing proof that you really did plan to repay those charges and weren't planning on ducking out of them through bankruptcy. That can be a hard sell to a skeptical judge and if the court doesn't buy your alibi then you will most likely be ordered to pay back the credit card company in full.
Picking up the Pieces
If you have already endured bankruptcy then the next challenge is to rebuild your credit. If you are able to open and maintain a bank account, that's a good starting place. Talk to a loan officer at the bank and explain to them that you want to intentionally start rebuilding your credit. They should be able to advise you step-by-step on ways to do that such as opening a secured credit card account or taking out a small consumer loan that you can easily repay on time. You may also qualify for a department store or gas station charge card. These cards won't work at other places that accept plastic, but they can be a decent entry level alternative. The goal is to acquire cards from merchants or banks that report to the major credit bureaus and then start borrowing limited amounts and quickly repay them. After a track record of successful borrowing and repayment is established, your credit score will start to rise and you'll be able to graduate to a conventional credit card like a MasterCard or VISA.
Cards for People with Bad Credit
There is a whole category of credit cards for people with bad credit. Most of these are secured by cash as prepaid cards, although some of them are full-fledged cards. The danger is that you may pick the wrong plastic, one that charges exorbitant fees, or picking a prepaid card that won't help you build credit at all. That could lead you back into messy debt as you unnecessarily spend lots of money that you cannot afford through monthly maintenance charges, ATM fees, and so forth. Searching for the most reasonably priced plastic can, however, be a real hassle. One of our bloggers recently explained that she had to search through more than 5,000 words of small print just to locate the fee schedule of one particular card. That's roughly equivalent to reading 20 pages of a really boring book.

End-of-year party precautions and the top tips to manage this risk - .PDF file.
By Allan Drake-Brockman and Elizabeth Moran
The season of workplace social functions is upon us, for better and for worse. An office party that goes off the rails is not just the subject of water cooler gossip; it's a real source of employee complaints, workers compensation claims, damaged collegial relationships and even litigation.
If the anticipation of your office party is keeping you (or your HR director) awake at night — and not with excitement — we hope that our top tips offer some practical ways to navigate the festive season without turning into Scrooge.
Employees often regard the end-of-year party as a type of private social function where normal workplace behaviour does not apply. The legal position could not be more different…

The Greater Sun rose, the Lesser sun eclipsed as it sank down below the horizon. The light filtered through tinted glass, made of a mineral indigenous to Zebes. The light illuminated a once-regal building that had clearly seen better days, its facades crumbling and plants growing in between the cracks. Yet it still held strong and stable, giving vital shelter from the planet's harsh solar storms.
As the light touched the folds of a thin blanket, laid over a mattress made of woven plant fibers, a small girl squinted against the sun. She rolled over, once, twice, then slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes.
The room was quite bare, save for the girl and the bed. There were no toys, no personal items. She had collected a few pretty shells and other odds and ends to decorate her room, but ever since a poisonous spiny-shell snail had pricked her finger, she'd stopped. She'd had to spend so much time in the room recovering from the poison, all she could do was stare at the bits of shell until she hated the sight of them. She learned quickly that the most beautiful things were often the most deadly.
Carefully she lowered herself down out of the bed, designed for someone much bigger than she. Trotting quickly to the other room, she used the toilet and turned the faucet that ran water into her makeshift bath. The pleasant splash of cold water competed with the cries of the morning birds and other fliers that hunted in in the morning outside.
After a brief wash, she carefully dressed in clothing that bore the same style she had worn for years, for no one in her home knew how to make anything different. They did not wear her kind of clothing. They also had no hair to brush, but had given her a little comb that she pulled through a shock of short blonde hair. None of them shared this morning ritual, which she had been instructed to follow out of habit, for the time when she was to return to her own people.
Her living quarters had been designed for one person, but for an adult, not a child. She did not dwell on this disparity. Dragging a small stool to one of the cabinets, she took out the food that her guardians kept for her. There were two melon-like fruits, a small cup of grain, and a tiny roasted lizard-like creature. She smiled upon finding that last item; Bamy must have left it for her. Although she got all the food a young girl needed, the fact that her guardians rarely ate meat meant that she hardly ever got any, either.
In a drawer she found a knife as long as one arm. Holding the melon carefully with one hand, she brought down the knife with the other in a startling show of strength for someone her size. The melon split clean in half. She sliced both melons and then brought the food to the worn stone table. She ate alone, her legs swinging from the high chairs. Once she finished her meal, she cleaned up and opened the door to the outside.
For Zebes, it was a pleasant day. There were no storms, the wasp swarms had abated, and while the sun was hot it did not burn has fiercely as it usually did. The small girl trotted down a worn stone pathway that led past other crumbling buildings. Already their inhabitants were awake, giant shapes moving slowly about, some of them greeting her as she ran by.
It never occurred to her to do anything else but go to Minah's study. There were no other little girls to play with. There was no place to go that was not dangerous. Every morning she went to Minah's, and Minah would ensure that nothing bad had happened as a result of the Long Sleep, now over a year ago.
As she entered, Minah smiled as well as someone with a beak can. "Good morning, Samus."
"Good morning, Minah." The little girl climbed up onto the chair that Minah always provided for her.
Minah's hands were gnarled and old - all the Chozo were old - but she still had a delicate and exact touch. She picked up a small metal scope. "How are you feeling today?"
"No nightmares last night?"
Samus shook her head.
"Well, that's good to hear. Any trouble sleeping?"
The little girl fidgeted in the chair as Minah checked her ears, her nose, her eyes, her mouth. "The scissor flies were singing last night."
"Yes, I heard them. A frightfully loud noise they make. But you got to sleep, didn't you?"
"Uh huh."
"All right. Here, Samus, take this and see if you can bend it for me." Minah handed her a small metal bar with markings on one side. The little girl grabbed it eagerly; she liked this part of the tests. Seizing it in both hands, with several grunts and puffs she bent it into a U shape until her face turned beet red. She held it up in triumph. "Look, Minah! Look how far I got this time!"
"Very good," Minah said with a smile. Taking the bar back she said, "That's all for today. You can go see Old Bird now."
Samus left Minah's study and made her way through the city, an ancient structure battered by time. Machinery from an age ago sat rusting; the Chozo had long since abandoned most of it for simpler means of living. Several of the dwellings were empty and shuttered, vegetation claiming some of them. Here and there the Chozo stood in twos and threes, passing the time with each other's company. They did not have much time left, but they saw no need to rush.
Besides, they were still needed, if only for a short time.
Old Bird stood waiting for her at the training grounds. His real name was Armenius; but ever since Samus had called him "the old bird" in an attempt to distinguish him from the rest of the old birds, the nickname had stuck. "Hello, Samus. Ready to start?"
"Uh huh." She kicked absently at a small rock as he fastened something to one arm. A laser blaster, weighing at least thirty pounds, but she lifted it easily.
"All right. We'll start with stationary targets first. Fire when ready."
She aimed with one arm at the series of targets several hundred meters off and just a few inches wide. The laser hit its mark with frightening accuracy. The little girl turned and smiled at her instructor, taking pride in having become so good at the game.
He nodded in acknowledgement. "Very good, Samus. We'll go right on to moving targets then." He turned a switch and the targets moved slowly back and forth across the field.
Samus scrambled back and forth, a few misses interspersed with the hits. Regardless, Old Bird noticed that her movements had become much more deliberate, much more graceful, much more powerful. In no time at all she had taken down the rest of the targets as well. Before he could speak, she demanded, "Old Bird, when are we going to use the targets that shoot back?"
He smiled gently. "I don't think you're quite ready for that."
"Please?" She showed just the smallest trace of an ordinary child's impatience. "We've been doing these for weeks!"
"Oh…" He pondered for a while. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try…"
"Watch, Old Bird," she ordered, as if he wouldn't. "Watch me." She weaved back and forth, firing at the targets as they hurled hollow, ceramic balls at her. Samus fired at both with a determined, excited expression on her face. Old Bird watched with considerable surprise. At this rate, there was no telling how far she could…
"Ow, ow!" Samus's head jerked back as one of the ceramic balls hit her square in the eye. Old Bird hurriedly turned off the machine and ran over to pick her up from the ground. "I'm all right," she grumbled, trying to push him away.
"You don't look all right," he said as he gently examined her face. A black eye bloomed darkly. "I think we'll end training for today and focus on history instead."
"But Old Bird…" Samus did not much care for Chozo history, though she tried to hide it. She gave no indication of knowing that the ball would have crushed her skull before she had gone through the Long Sleep.
"No more training, Samus. You can push your body to its limits, but no further," he said sternly. "Part of being a warrior is knowing when to rest."
"Fine," she grumbled.
"All right. We can continue this tomorrow. I'm sure you'll have healed up by then."
A/N: Old Bird's name is the only thing that will follow the canon set in the manga.

I arrived at the ball after everone else had on purpse of course, I stared at my reflection in the lake, My Black in its normal messy way, my Black mask with gold swirls wich contrast well with me crimson eyes.
but of couse I decided to wear somethings different, Pin striped black trousers, wich matching waist coat, a crisp white shirts, over I wore my cloak and down one side in gold held my symbol a pentergram encircled with swirls. and for the fun of it I carried a walking stick the head Gold engraved with my symbol.
I walked in to the hall standing at the top of the stairs looking down on everyone enjoying themselves, holding false smiles hopeing people would not notice. But of course I did.
"Intrudicing,Than God of the Underground and God of Dark Gods" I nodded and walked straight to the centres of the stairs. I inwardly groaned knowing people would want a reason for my many absence's
"Good evening God's, Godess both from light and dark realms. I am pleased to say how wonderful you look tonight, I apologise for my many absences, it seemed I had a lot things I needed to take care of in the Underground, but all is well now. Please continue" With that I bowed and conversations roared back to life.
I saw Nyx talking to Thantos, I walked smoothly behind her wrapping my arms around her waist. She jumped slightly but when she realised it was me she leaned into me slightly.
"I must say how breath taking you look tonight my sweet Nyx" I whispered into her eye, she blushed slightly but smiled. she stepped out of my arms to and turned to me.
"I can say the same to you, it isnt what you normally wear, but it still looks good on you" I smirked and winked at her. from side of me Thantos cleared his throught shootings daggers at me from his eyes.
"well well well if its isnt Than him self decided to do your duty and attended a Ball" I growled and stepped towards him.
"or have you come to hurt Nyx more by vising a close friend"
I growled at him and put my hand around his throut "I would never hurt her on purpose you Hell hound" I growled my eyes glowing red.
I felt some put their shaking hands on me "Than please please stop this" I looked down at Nyx's eyes pooledwith tears I calmed down in a instant. I put hands on either side of her cheeks and wiped away her tears.
"Why didn't you tell me I was hurting you, I would do anything for you to make sure you were safe and happy" my voice was soft, I pleading her with my eyes just to look at me instead of the floor.
"I erm I need some fresh air" withthat she ran outside. I went to go after her but Thantos blocked me. " Dont you daye, shes the last person she needs right now" He growled and ran after her.
I stood their stunned like the rest of the people around me, people were whispering about what just occoured. I stormed over to the glass doors leadning the balcony. I shut the door and leaned against it. I sighed and looked up the sky.
Then I heard it sobbing, I looked to the floor to see Primerose curled up in a ball crying her hair not in its neet bun but a swirling defiant mess it used to me. her dress ruined.
"Rose" I spoke softly but she didnt notice or didnt want to, I kneeled beside her stroking her hair.In her own time she looked into my eyes.
"Your right you are all right, Im not what I used to be. I dont want to be taimed I hate it I hate it all. But what to do I do Than?" she grabbed my hand as if it was sacred her life line to safety" I picked her up bridal style, her clung to me and hid her face in my neck.
"Your coming to stay with me for a while Rose, not the light or the Dark realm but the human. there you shall rest and Ill teach some fighting skills ok. I will make sure you are what you once were, I promise" I spoke softly I used my wind to blow the door wide open, People stared at us in confusion. Whispering and staring.
I walked past them all ignoring and headed outside. I saw Nyx in the arms of Thantos.
"Nyx Im going away for awhile, I will attend the meeting and such. But I hurt you way too much it isnt fair, and Im going to make sure Primerose is back to her fiery self" I paused and opened a portal. I looked over my shoulder "Good bye, my love" I stepped through without anyone telling me not to.

Do you have good circulation in your legs? Are you at risk for PAD?
Start the year right — know your risk for peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
People have PAD when the arteries in their legs become narrowed or clogged with fatty deposits or plaque. When leg arteries harden and become clogged, blood flow to the legs and feet decreases. Less blood reaches the muscles in the legs, which makes them hurt. This is like angina, which makes the heart muscle hurt.
PAD is often ignored since many people think the pain or aching in their legs is related to aging or arthritis. As a result, many people with PAD do not know they have it and do not get treatment. It is important to discuss any leg or thigh pain you may be having with your healthcare provider. If you have PAD, your risk of suffering a heart attack can be six times higher than normal, even if you don't have leg symptoms. Finding and treating PAD early can help keep your legs healthy, lower your risk for heart attack or stroke, and save your life and limbs.
Take a moment to answer these PAD screening questions:
Are you under 50 years of age, have diabetes and at least one other cardiac risk factor—history of smoking, abnormal cholesterol or high blood pressure?
Are you:
- Aged 50 years or older and have diabetes?
- Aged 50 years or older and a former or current smoker?
- Aged 65 years or older?
Do you have one or more PAD symptoms?
- Fatigue, heaviness, tiredness or cramping in your leg muscles (calf, thigh or buttocks) that occurs during activity, such as walking, and goes away when you stop and rest.
- Foot or toe pain at rest that often disturbs sleep
- Skin wound or ulcers on your feet that are slow to heal (or that do not heal for 8–12 weeks)
If you answered yes to any of these risk factors, you are encouraged you to attend a FREE PAD screening at Parrish Medical Center. The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test takes 30–40 minutes, and you are only required to remove your shoes and socks. You will be screened by a cardiovascular healthcare professional.
Call Parrish Medical Center (PMC) at 268-6150 to make an appointment. FREE ABI testing for PAD is performed on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at PMC, , 951 N. Washington Ave., Titusville, Fla.; and Friday afternoons at Parrish Health & Fitness Center, 2210 Cheney Highway, Titusville, Fla.
Don't wait until it's too late! It's not just your legs — it's your life!

This is just a little story of how my life changed over the course of 2 years.
Waves crashed against the shore creating noises that were peaceful unlike how it was in the daytime. People would scream and yell running around the place their feet leaving foot prints in the sand. I sat on a big rock near my little house. My red converse were right next to me along with my book 'Keeping Faith' . I was waiting for my mom to get me for dinner which is usually noodles in corn since we first moved in. My older brother, Owen, and older sister, Anna, were still in Iceland since they were both 18 and live in an apartment in the nordic country.
""Eyjalín! Illallinen!" 'Eyjalín! Dinner!" My mom's Finnish was kinda sloppy since speaking Icelandic for years. Being only six, it was hard to leave most of my family behind knowing it was going to be a while before I see them again. I grabbed my shoes and book as I heard my feet make a soft thud against the stone ans I walked up the wooden polished stairs. Many boxes were inside the house with two beds pushed up against the wall. A steel gray rack hung above my bed with some of my stuffed animals on it. The blue fluffy blanket was falling off the corner from not making it in the morning. My mom's bed was all made up neat with a quilt home made by my grandma. She placed both of our bowls on the granite counter with a clank. My mom's name was Jaylen. She had her blonde hair pulled back using bobby pins and hair ties. Her eyes were glossed over like she was going to cry. Her blonde hair was different from my dyed brown hair with the ends teal and purple. Yes, my mom let me dye my hair at age 4. I wanted to be different from most people. I couldn't help but notice how her hand trembled when she ate and how the house seemed gloomy. Deciding to ignore it, I went upstairs to the study room. The study room's floor was a white carpet and the walls were white to. A polished light wooden desk was there with multiple books about The Finnish language and Finland's history. A picture of e and my friends all wearing winter jackets was there with me in the middle since I wasn't exactly the tallest person. I sat down on the white painted chair and began studying for my first day of school tomorrow.
When I got to school, I had to introduce myself to everyone which was a problem because when I was in Iceland I feel off the stage while singing a song. "Nimeni on Eyjalín. Islannista ja odotan että ystäväsi." 'My name is Eyjalín. I'm from Iceland and look forward to being your friend.' I had made friends pretty quickly but with my shy nature I ended up pushing them away. That's how the first week of school went.

Little food truck in big food fight
The owners of an Indianapolis food truck feel like David taking on Goliath.
When Chea and Rob Carmack began their food truck business three years ago, they never envisioned winding up in a food fight with celebrity chef Mario Batali.
But that's what happened when attorneys for Batali learned the name of the couple's food truck. It's Little Eataly.
Batali is co-owner of Eataly, a gourmet food market and restaurant center in New York City and a newly opened location in Chicago.
In August of last year, the Carmacks received a letter from Eataly's attorney saying their use of the Little Eataly is an "infringement" on Eataly's trademark rights. The letter accused the couple of "unfair competition and cybersquatting."
"At first we thought it was a joke," Rob said. "But the more I looked at it, I thought, 'No, this is on the level.""
The Carmacks hired a trademark attorney and the food fight escalated.
"They threatened to take our food truck and seize our assets and seize our domain and kick us to the curb," he said. "We feel bullied."
Rob said prior to naming their business they searched did a trademark and domain search for Little Eataly. They also checked Facebook and Twitter and he said it was all available.
"No one had it, so we went with it," he said.
The Carmacks' attorney has called the claims "without merit," noting the couple did the research and purchased the domain in good faith, saying it's "extremely unlikely" Little Eataly will create any confusion with Eataly.
While the couple's attorney tells them they have a very strong case, neither has the appetite for a long and costly battle.
"They don't have to be right. They just have to have money, which they do have a lot of," Rob said.
Chea, who always dreamed of owning a food-related business said, "It just breaks my heart, but what can I do? They're huge and it's crushed me because we've worked so hard to get where we are."
She and Rob say changing their name and everything it's on is a costly endeavor for small business owners. They say just changing the wrap on their truck will set them back $6,000.
Plus, Rob pointed out, "We're already marketed and branded. People know who we are in town. To change our name, we will lose some of our customer base because people won't know where we went."
Reached Thursday afternoon, Duane Byers, the attorney for Eataly said there was no compromise. Byers said his clients have the registered trademark for Eataly and "you can't just tag on to it," with little, big or anything else.
He said it was like opening a new restaurant and calling it "Little Pizza Hut."
Byers said letting the Carmacks continue using Little Eataly "harms our trademark and increases the likelihood of confusion" and a business "never wants to confuse consumers."
He said if the couple was selling "umbrellas" it wouldn't be an issue, but since they're selling food, it is.
Eataly's actions against the Carmacks come as Eataly expands into Los Angeles, Boston and Philadelphia.
"It makes me mad. I have a temper. I'm Sicilian," Chea said. "But more than anything, what can I do about it? I'm nobody. It's just little ole me."

The electoral register is used in the following ways:
- election staff, political parties, candidates and holders of elected office use the register for electoral purposes
- your local council and the British Library hold copies that anyone may look at under supervision - a copy is held by the Electoral Commission, the Boundary Commissions (which set constituency boundaries for most elections) and the Office for National Statistics
- the council can use the register for duties relating to security, enforcing the law and preventing crime - the police and security services can also use it for law enforcement
- the register is used when calling people for jury service
- government departments may buy the register from the local registration officers and use it to help prevent and detect crime - they can also use it to safeguard national security by checking the background of job applications and employees
- credit reference agencies can buy the register - they help other organisations to check the names and addresses of people applying for credit, they also use it to carry out identity checks when trying to prevent and detect money laundering
It is a criminal offence for anyone to supply or use the register for anything else.

Intuitive Concepts Gets a Major Website Face Lift
New comprehensive Feng Shui website with dual purpose - part Feng Shui university and part consulting
The development team included marketing strategist, Sue Corbin, and Rajesh Kanumury of GniYes, whose design and services far surpassed what Garber envisioned. "I want a website that has a dual purpose -- part Feng Shui university and part consulting firm," Garber said; thus, ICLC (Intuitive Concepts' Learning Center) was conceived. ICLC is a members-only area for Feng Shui knowledge seekers and private clients.
Master Garber sought a propitious day to launch her new web site, and chose May 1st. 2012 is the year of the Water Dragon, the same as Diana Garber. The Water Dragon represents optimism, success, and celebration, and Garber believes the new website reflects those properties.

QASymphony and Doran Jones Partner to Resell Best-in-Class Software Testing Tools
Strategic technology partnership marks Doran Jones the first U.S. reseller of QASymphony products into the financial services sector.
Doran Jones offers test process consultancy that includes Agile adoption, tools implementation and process advisory. Test management, execution and training round out their Software Testing services. Effectively, the partnership makes Doran Jones the first U.S. reseller of QASymphony products, providing a sales channel into the firm's established relationships with several tier-one banks, hedge funds and other global financial institutions.
Most recently, Doran Jones appointed a former Barclays executive, Keith Klain, to the role of COO and to run the firm's software testing practice. Klain most recently ran the Global Test Center for Barclays and was responsible for implementing new testing strategies including context-driven testing principles across the bank.
"We're excited to partner with QASymphony, as they reflect the revolutionary new approach to testing that we feel is necessary for our client's success -- especially those interested in Agile software development methods," said Keith Klain, COO of Doran Jones. "Their on-premise and cloud-based testing tools were designed by experienced testers and offer enterprise-level features suitable for both small and large-scale organizations with in-house software development needs."
"We're pleased with the potential a partnership with Doran Jones offers. We have worked with Keith Klain in the past and highly respect his perspectives and vision. Our organizations are well aligned in our belief that the value of testing extends well beyond the QA department,"
Most recently, QASymphony announced general availability of their qTest test management platform. qTest is an enterprise test management platform that fully supports agile testing. qTest eXplorer, an add-on to qTest, automatically captures a tester's actions in both text steps and screen captures. Together these integrated tools comprise a test management platform that offers complete support for Agile testing and provides the only consolidated testing platform to support both scripted and unscripted testing.

Whether you are making the initial move from manual processes and need basic management help or you have processes and tools in place and are looking to enhance productivity, our test management and agile testing solutions can help you test more effectively. With HQ in Atlanta, GA, presence in Dublin, CA and operations in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, QASymphony is a software company built to revolutionize how software is tested, adopted, and supported.

5 Guidelines in choosing an Auto Shop
With today's busy schedules of work, school, sports activities, and recreation, folks have little or no time to visit an auto shop to find the right one for their vehicle's service and repair work. However, as you may have experienced, it's even more difficult to make do-it-yourself auto repairs in today's newer vehicles. That's why it is so important to make time in your schedule to find the right auto center.
Do you need some guidelines to help you? Choose an auto center based on the standards outlined below for a minor service or repair. Here are a few easy-to-follow tips to save you time:
Find an auto shop that you feel comfortable with before you actually need one. First, use it for minor auto repairs or service, such as an oil change or tire rotation. If you are satisfied with the work performed on small jobs, you will more likely use them again for more extensive auto repairs. If you can do this, you can avoid being rushed into an unnecessary, and probably expensive, auto repair with an auto shop that you don't know very well.
Ask for referrals from your friends for their recommendations. If necessary, call the Better Business Bureau and ask if there are any complaints; what were they about, and how were they resolved.
Choose an auto shop for more than just a convenient location (although that would be an added bonus). Sometimes driving a little further can mean better service, and may even save you money.
Visit the auto center to see if it is kept clean and well-organized. Look at the service bays to see if the equipment is modern and well-maintained.
Make sure it is professionally run with courteous and trained staff. Look around the lobby for any community-service awards, Better Business Bureau endorsements, ASE certificates, or plaques for civic involvement.

If you're looking for lyrics online, you have a new legal option as of 3pm pst today: music.yahoo.com, which just augmented its market-leading music website with a lyrics search licensed through Gracenote. You can search for a given song and click on lyrics, or Lyric Search to find a song based on a known snippet of lyrics, which gives users a new way discover music based on a few words — sort of like asking a record store clerk if they have the one that goes:
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
"And we don't care about the young folks /
talkin' bout the young style /
and we don't care about the old folks /
talkin' 'bout the old style too."
This sounds like it will be helpful, and could give lots of people a new reason to visit Yahoo Music.
The deal includes music from the top five music publishers plus some indies: "BMG Music Publishing, EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing,
Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner/Chappell Music, and dozens ofprominent independent publishers." One possibly pitfall that could result from people knowing that these lyrics are legally licensed is that the feature could be perceived as some sort of sellout by music fans who have learned to associate "legal" with "lame."
Yahoo rightly points out that the unlicensed lyric sites wereriddled with pop-up ads and inconsistencies, inferring that itsoffering will give users a less intrusive experience (it launches here in about two hours). In addition, the announcement adds additionalindie cred by including an audio clip of Mike D talking about lyricsand a blog post that will cite one of Yahoo Music GM's Ian C. Rogers' earliest online experiences: posting Beastie Boy lyrics on Usenet.
You'll be able to read Rogers' blog post and listen to what Mike D has to say here at 3pm pst. For now,though, Yahoo might want to look at removing its directory of unlicensed lyrics sites.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

"For the 15 years that we have had PBI accompaniment, we have been able to …become more respected in judicial and other spheres of our activity, a very important prevention mechanism. I believe that PBI's presence and accompaniment in Colombia has saved many lives and prevented many attacks against human rights defenders, especially human rights lawyers"
Jose Alvear Restrepo Lawyers' Collectve (CCAJAR), Colombia
Since 1981, Peace Brigades International has worked in thirteen countries on five continents. On request, our projects and country group have provided protection, recognition and support to human rights defenders working in areas or repression and conflict.
The work of Projects integrated with the work of Country Groups focuses on:
- physical presence of our volunteers alongside human rights defenders
- dialogue with government authorities and armed forces
- advocacy and outreach work with the international community
- building and activating emergency support networks to prevent or respond to human rights abuses
- raising the profile nationally and internationally of the organisations we accompany
Please help us to continue this vital work by making a donation today.
In 2015, 16 international volunteers accompanied 88 defenders working on a range of issues such as human rights violations due to economic interests and enforced disappearances. Volunteers are based in Bogotá, Barrancabermeja and Apartadó.
In 2015, eight international volunteers accompanied 82 defenders working on the environment and land rights, impunity and globalisation. Volunteers are based in Guatemala City and travel to other areas of the country.
In 2015, five international volunteers accompanied 24 defenders working on business and human rights, land rights, indigenous rights, freedom of expression, support for victims, women's rights and LGBTI rights. Volunteers are based in Tegucigalpa.
In 2015, three international volunteers carried out around 70 accompaniments with 15 grassroots defenders in the informal settlements of Nairobi. These included attending court cases, community forums and police stations. Volunteers are based in Nairobi.
In 2015, ten international volunteers accompanied 100 defenders working on forceful disappearances, impunity, indigenous rights and environmental protection. Volunteers are based in two field teams in the north and south of Mexico; covering the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Oaxaca and Guerrero and a coordination office in Mexico City.
Two international staff worked on PBI's new project in partnership with the Indonesian human rights organisation ELSAM. Twelve Papuan defenders were supported through intensive, four-month training programmes in Jakarta in 2015.
NepalMonitor.org was officially launched as a COCAP protection and conflict prevention initiative, supported by PBI in February 2015. Since the end of 2014, 3,342 reports about security and human rights incidents have been mapped in total. One international volunteer, based in Kathmandu, works on this project.
