Read and good luck fellow rip off buddy. One sure way to stop payments would be to cancel / change your credit card number. Otherise call the better business bureau and explain your situation which is what I did to stop the subscription with no further payments.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I never posted the aftermath to this issue but since someone replied recently I received an e-mail notification and thought maybe I should. Going from memmory I called the publisher's magazine company one final time and pleaded for a resolution with peace of mind that my next phone call would be to the better business bureau. Again I was talked down to with a rudeness and attitude that simply should not exist in any business shady or otherwise.
Simply put, I called the better business bureau who made the magazine company cease and dessist in a sense. I received a letter confirmation in the mail some weeks later confirming the cancellation of the account. I never received any of the paid funds back, but the good news is I wasn't paying any more to them with the account closed.
My only regret to this reply is that I dont have the actual letter confirming the cancellation, it was rather laughable in itself. The letter read something along the lines of "we realize that sometimes our customer's change thier minds".

I don't have to write the whole story all over again, since Justin has done a great job in gathering all the details and it's 99% identical to the ordeal that I have been going through. However, I was about to just pay the collections company off because I was fed up and luckily I stumbled upon this website.
They collected payments from me as well for quite a while and then when I checked my credit card statement I was shocked cause I never received any magazines or watch or anything at all from them. I received a billion calls from them though to pay the remaining amount. Every time I told them that I hadn't received any magazine, they were so rude and heartless. The worst people that I ever had to deal with.
At this point I am just frustrated and I'd rather pay them off than let them eat up my peace. I have a balance of $287.50 and it is just pathetic that consumers are allowed to go through such harassment. Unbelievable!

Information South west coast path
The South West Coast Path is a long distance National Trail covering 630 miles from Minehead on the edge of Exmoor to Poole Harbour in Dorset. It receives 8.6 million visits per year in addition to its use by local people and dog walkers.
The East Devon section spans approximately 26 miles, and runs from Exmouth to Lyme Regis, forming part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
The National Trust is a significant landowner along this stretch of coastline, and maintains the path on its own land. The remainder, which is in private ownership, is looked after by the East Devon District Council Countryside team on behalf of Devon County Council.
This includes sections such as the highly popular walk along the river Otter in Budleigh Salterton, and the visually stunning Underhooken between Beer and Branscombe.
Work undertaken includes regular path clearing during the summer months, maintaining viewpoints, upgrading steps and gates and ensuring the route continues to be well signed, helping the South West Coast Path to retain its position as the UK's favourite walk.

SW dropped out of slopestyle
Did anyone not see this coming? I honestly think it's the right move for him. Superpipe is by far the best known event in snowboarding by the casual viewer and SW is probably the only rider most of them can name. His name and brand are based off of dominating that event. There's little for him to gain by competing in slopestyle. He wouldn't be the favorite and there's a very good chance he wouldn't win gold. SW dropping out of slopestyle is hardly a story, but it would be a story if he didn't medal.
Read the Sochi thread. There are pages of posts about this already.
isnt slopestyle the first event? considering that the fave for the event is mcmorris, i can understand dropping out to avoid risking injury for the pipe
horgmo is out, white is out, its basically the battle of the canadians now
It's the Olympics, and SW is there because he wants to win gold. I think it's the right move for him to focus only on the super pipe if he doesn't feel that he can win the Slopestyle. Making the decision at the last minute isn't really that much of a dick move, but I think hogging that slopestyle spot in the first place is probably somewhat of a dick move? :dunno:
USA should replace white with another member... if thats even legal this late
by the time the new guy flew in he would have no time for practice before qualifiers.

Slimming Beauty Bitter Orange Slimming Capsules is actually this kind of weight reduction supplement.

Among the most popular types of handrails that are utilized in homes today, as well as outside on a porch or a deck, are a design of railings called wrought iron. They are made from a special product just like cast-iron, with the noteworthy exception that there is fibrous product merged within the metal that provides it a rough appearance when observed close-up. For this reason, it can quickly be replaced, relying on your decoration, for wooden rails that are used on steps, staircases, decks, fences and pool guards as well. What many individuals do not comprehend is the benefit of just making use of quality wrought iron railings over lesser made alternatives, something that we will certainly now provide.

Two Extremes
Jayden awoke strapped to a metal table. There were wire attached with suction cups all over his muscled torso. He felt dizzy from the tranquilizer dart that had brought him down. His vision was still blurry. He was completely immobilized.
Then he smelled the terrible cent of lilacs. It made him want to retch. "Good morning." purred Malta. Malta. The name made him want to spit. On one of the most major raids Black Steel had ever attempted on the Zeldae. Major Malta Richards had warned the Zeldae in advance. The whole thing was a trap. Just like this raid he thought bitterly. Malta herself had stabbed Commander Rutter in the back just before she stepped inside the Zeldae lines. The memory of seeing that black blade glistening with red blood was emblazed into his mind forever. In the bloody battle to escape more then a fourth of their force had been lost.
The site of the traitor now filled him with so much hatred he wanted to scream his loathing. Perhaps she could see it in his eyes because she smiled a terrible taunting smile. She embodied everything that he fought. "I have a few questions for you." She said sweetly. Jayden didn't deign her worthy of a response. "I see." said Malta and she nodded to the Zeldae soldier at the control panel.
Nothing could have prepared Jayden for the rush of raw electricity. He let out an involuntary scream. Malta giggled with the pleasure of causing another creature pain. "You see I need, to know where the pitiful group of soldiers that call themselves 'Black Steel' are hiding." she enticed him. Jayden smiled. He knew the second word of his capture reached the resistance they would relocate. But there was no need to tell Malta that. Malta sighed, "There is no need to waste my time with this." She looked at the Zeldae at the controls. "Fry him for a few more minutes then leave him in his cell. I shall return in an hour to see if he's had a change of heart."
The Zeldae nodded and turned the machine on. As hard as he tried Jayden couldn't stop the blood-curling scream that passed his lips. It was one long ulation of sheer pain. Finally the pain stopped. Two burly guards carried his quaking body into the holding cell. Even worse then the pain was the fact that he couldn't control his body. He couldn't stop the shaking. Panic threatened. But he had a plan. The Zeldae had searched him thoroughly but they hadn't taken his boots, big mistake. He reached down with quivering hands and pressed a hidden button in the sole of his boot. The sole popped in two revealing a pen sized laser cutter. Captain Jayden River of the Black Steel resistance began to cut.

Further development and properties of the spectral analysis by least-squares
- Received:
- Cite this article as:
- Vaníček, P. Astrophys Space Sci (1971) 12: 10. doi:10.1007/BF00656134
The concept of spectral analysis using least-squares is further developed to remove any undesired influence on the spectrum. The influence of such a 'systematic noise' can be eliminated without the necessity of knowing the magnitudes of the noise constituents. The technique can be used for irregularly spaced as well as equidistantly spaced data. The response to random noise is found to be constant in the frequency domain and its expected level is derived. Presence of random noise in the analyzed time series is shown to transform the spectrum merely linearly. Examples of applications of the technique are presented.

Another Canadian's Wimbledon run came to an end today.
Daniel Nestor and French partner Kristina Mladenovic were dumped in straight sets by an American duo in the quarter-finals.
Nestor is one of this countries greatest athletes. Ever. We don't see him a lot because he plays doubles, men's or mixed, generally on the back courts at pretty much any time of the clock during tennis tournaments.
You might remember his big moment in singles play. At 19, he defeated then Aussie Open finalist from Sweden, Stefan Edberg here at the Agridome in Davis Cup play. The left-hander came from behind to win in five sets. At the time Vasek Pospisil was 20-months-old in Vernon.
In men's doubles at the All England club, the Canuck and fellow 42-year-old geezer Leander Paes lost in the third round.
To show how remarkable Nestor is, here are some of his achievements. He has earned eight Grand Slam men's doubles titles. He has at least one of each, and has triumphed at Wimbledon twice. Nestor has cashed a winner's cheque 87 times, with nine different partners.
Since turning pro in 1991, he has banked almost $12 million in career prize money.
Nestor has an Olympic gold medal in doubles from 2000 in Sydney and would like to play for a sixth time at the five ring circus.
Hopefully the now 25-year-old Pospisil, who has credited his elder for some of his doubles success which includes a Wimbledon title, deems him worthy to play, sporting the maple leaf in Rio de Janeiro next summer.

Female Trio With "Big Booties" Suspected In Break-In That Netted Flat-Screen TVs
A trio of women with "big booties" is suspected in a weekend burglary that netted them a pair of flat-screen televisions, according to South Carolina cops.
The break-in occurred Saturday at the home of a deceased Spartanburg man, according to a police report.
A neighbor told cops that she spotted two vehicles at the late man's home, adding that the cars's occupants were "three black females with 'big booties.'"
The neighbor said that she saw the amply-assed women enter the residence, but did not see them depart.
The neighbor said that she later spoke with the dead man's girlfriend, who told her that the home had been burglarized Saturday (police noted that the window in a rear bedroom had been broken).

News: Female Trio With "Big Booties" Suspected In Break-In
2 comments:
Well, good luck rounding up the suspects based on that description! HA!ReplyDelete
I'm a little confused by the police report. The broken window was 5 1/2 to 6 feet up off the ground? Were these big-bootied women extra agile to be able to get in or out of the house through that window? Did they bring a ladder or step stool with them? Did they haul the TVs out that window too? Where did the neighbor see the women enter the house--through the broken window or through a door? If they went in through a door, why would they need to break a window? So many images, so many questions. =D
Big booties FTW!ReplyDelete

This company also charged me the fraudulent $79.00 charge on 12/5/09. After numerous calls, messages, etc., I too got the reply that it would take 30 to 60 days to refund and that this was all a computer goof? They said I was a customer last year (not), and their computer system accidentally charged old customers a new membership fee? Whatever, I don't get 30 to 60 days to pay my debts or fix an error that I made...This compay needs to reverse these charges immediately or pay interest for every day that I don't have my money.

Great Reciever 11/23/2013
This review is from: Pioneer SC-1222-K 7.2-Channel Network Ready AV Receiver
High Quality, Sounds Great, Very Affordable on Sale
Network & Serial Control is perfect in my Remote Setup; Very Fast Response.
Pandora still Plays out Zone 2 (outside) when you Switch Zone 1 back to the TV.
Auto Calibration works perfectly.
Wish it had a Volume OSD Overlay, I live without it just fine though.
No Bluetooth Audio Input/Output (default)
Of course after years of holding back I buy in and 4k resolution peeks its head out; good thing its still a long way out from being adopted for my home theatre use.. Have a feeling it'll be the only reason I upgrade this; one day.
Other Thoughts:
I didnt have an IR Repeater when I first set it up; Since the remote didn't reach to the basement I did the initial setup all via telnet.. Was slow and painful but it worked.
It took a while but its fully integrated into my home theatre and automation systems, can hide the OEM remote and use a slim Apple TV Remote and Menu Options to do everything that needs to be done..
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

dome light
OK, here's a weird one: I need to rewire the dome light in my '56 Chevy stepside. I don't want to wire it to the headlight switch, instead I'm just going to put a basic toggle switch on it. Problem is, I ran mechanic's wire as far as I could through the hole where the original wiring came through on the light fixture, and I can't make any progress--in other words, I can't figure out where to run the wire to power. I assumed it snaked down behind the driver's leftshoulder (more or less) and under the running board and up into the firewall. But I can't do it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
dome light
An addendum: I still have my gas tank behind the seat, so there's no way to access it by dropping it straight down behind the driver's seat.
You can always go with a grommet through the floor , under the cab and then back into the cab if you can get to the floor? Of course you will want to use some plastic wire wrap to protect the wire from the elements and whatnot. Remember that if you want to use door buttons to activate the light, the buttons are the ground side of the light. That way there is no positive power at the door button, it just makes the ground for the light when doors are opened. Your power can be from a full time fused positive terminal, switched or unswitched, or like you want, a toggle. If you are just going with a positive and a negative two wire install then passing the wire through the back of the cab will have to be basic wiring 101. Hope this helps. Jmac
dome light
Thanks for the reply. I did just as you suggest--ran it under the floor, drilled a hole, put in a grommet and put a toggle in line right where my left hand falls behind the driver's seat.

Braeden's Story
Braeden stared as blood began to seep through
the man's robes.
"Please don't hurt me! I didn't want to be part
of Virtue! Please don't kill me like you killed father!"
Whimpered Braeden.
Sienna assumed that Braeden meant 'father' as
in the term for a priest. But Keir grasped the meaning of the word.
"He was your father."
It was more of a statement then a question.
Braeden nodded.
Keir's grip on the gun loosened.
"Tell me everything he did. Sienna, I think
maybe you should fill in Desiree's grave. You too, James. I want to talk to
Keir said gently.
Braeden started his tale in a sorrowful,
shaking voice.
"When I turned twelve I started to doubt my
religion. It seemed strange, even scary. It began to torture me until I would
wake up screaming at night…"
Braeden paused, closing his eyes. Tears seeped
from underneath his eyelids. But he continued with his tale.
"I wanted to talk to father about it, him being
a priest and all-"
Keir interrupted.
"If he was a priest then he couldn't get
married, so how-"
"I'm getting to that bit."
Snivelled Braeden.
"When I told father that I didn't believe in
the faith, he was furious. He tied me to a roasting hot radiator and left me
there all night. Every time I screamed he would come over to me and cut my
burnt back. Permanent scars. Twelve of them. Father had three wives, all
married illegally to him. But he killed my mother when she tried to protect me
from his abuse. He killed her as a sacrifice, just like all the other people in
those graves. Everyone in those graves has done something considered evil. When
I was born, I was named Braeden because I apparently look like a child of
Satan. Braeden means 'of the dark valley.' My father became convinced that my
mother must be sent from Satan. He abused both of us. Then, when I broached the
subject of my beliefs, he took me to this 'graveyard' to see what happened to
people who didn't believe in god. He takes me here with his victims every time
he went from that day on. It's so horrible!"
Braeden had learnt young that crying didn't get
you anywhere but a lifetime of uncried tears, unexpressed shock and disgust
were surfacing today.
"That girl your father just killed, Desiree,
did your father say anything about her?"
Keir called Sienna over before Braeden spoke.
"He was saying how he knew she'd taken the
school bible from her school. He wanted to lure her into a false sense of
security. So he positioned teachers at the school to listen closely to her
conversations with friends, try and follow her to places after school, find out
who she was hanging around with. He wanted to find kill another girl as well,
Sienna, who you must be."
Braeden told them, nodding at Sienna.
"They found out about a bible-burning. But when
they looked for Sienna the next day, she was gone."
Braeden finished his story, feeling a sense of
releif. He'd finally told someone about his childhood of abuse.
Sienna felt like the puzzle in her head had
been solved. Desiree had found out that she was grave number 666 and let her
know in case she came by the graves and guessed their use. She had sent her
away to escape a horrible death.
Desiree's life had ended as she became a
sacrifice to a god she didn't even believe in, a more severe indignity couldn't
be found.


text: My friend has a 2005 325i. He was driving on the highway yesterday in 6th gear. He wanted to downshift to 4th to get some passing power. Instead he downshifted into 2nd and began to let the clutch out. When he saw the RPM's jump to the redline, he immediately put the clutch back in and shifted to 5th. The car had no power. He shifted carefully to 4th and the car was still losing power, and began to die. He pulled over to the side of the road and the car wouldn't start. He tried for half an hour. What could he have done?

Anjua Loeak
Anjua Loeak is the current iroijlaplap (or paramount chief) of Ailinglaplap, and one of four paramount chiefs in the Marshall Islands. Loeak's domain lies in the Ralik Chain and is shared with the iroijlaplap of Kwajalein, currently Imata Kabua.
Loeak has been a staunch supporter of community-based organizations, such as the Women United Together of the Marshall Islands.[1]
In May 2011, Loeak and Kabua signed, along with president and fellow chief Jurelang Zedkaia, an agreement amending the terms to the United States' lease on the Reagan Test Site on Ebeye.[2] The agreement, termed the Kwajalein Land Use Agreement, extended the lease until 2086 and raised the annual cost by US$3.7 million to US$15 million. The annual payments are divided among some 90 landowners; being one of the largest landowners in the country, Loeak receives 11.3% of this.[3][4][5]

Open up Services. You can get to Services from Manage My Computer. I find the easiest way to open it is right click on the My Computer icon, and select manage.
Services will be under Configuration in Server 2008 R?. In Server 2003 R? it is under Services and Applications.
Here, you can scroll down to File Replication Service and double click it to open up its property page. There, you can try starting it and check on the Dependencies. The next step is to check the dependent services to see if they are running and if you can start them if they are not. This should help you diagnose.
What Windows Server versions are you using?
What Windows Server version are you using?
On my Server 2008 R2 with SP1, I see that File Replication Service (NtFrs) depends on the following system components:
- Active Directory Domain Services
- Com+ Event System
- and Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
RPC depends on DCOM Server Process Launcher and RPC Endpoint Mapper.
All of those need to be running before NtFrs will start. Server 2008 and 2008 R2 without SP1 would be the same or similar.

Two people were being questioned by police yesterday after a 16-year-old boy was killed near his family home. Friends and neighbours claimed the teenager, identified locally as Bradley Whitfield, a keen sportsman who had ambitions of becoming a PE teacher, had been attacked with a bottle.
A 14-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl were arrested in connection with the attack, which happened in the early hours of New Year's Day in Leicester. A 31-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man were also being questioned.
In a separate incident, an 18-year-old man was stabbed to death following an argument between two groups of youths in Edmonton, north London. The teenager was chased after getting off a night bus yesterday morning and police have appealed for witnesses. The stabbing was another reminder of the problem of knife crime. A spate of high-profile attacks last year made knife crime a hot political issue. Last year 27 teenagers were murdered in the London area.
In Manchester, one man was killed and three injured in two shootings on New Year's Eve. The 26-year-old man who died was taken to North Manchester hospital with two injured friends in a car which a lone gunman sprayed with bullets in the suburb of Crumpsall. The car was driven by a fourth man who left the trio - another of whom was seriously hurt - with doctors. After the second shooting, a man found slumped on a pavement in Trafford was taken to the same hospital, where his condition was described as serious but stable. Police are not linking the two attacks.
Norman Brennan, director of the Victims of Crime Trust, warned the public to take the level of crime seriously.
"The New Year is barely several hours old and two teenagers are lying dead on our streets," he said. "Britain has to wake up to the violence now exhibited on our streets - often committed by children," he said.
"These murders must shock us into addressing the problem rather than shocking us into giving up."
When Leicestershire police were called to Fosse Road South, about 400 metres from Whitfield's home, at 5.16am yesterday they found the 16-year-old lying fatally wounded in a pool of blood.
A large area around the scene, near a row of shops and takeaways, remained cordoned off last night as forensic science experts combed the area.
Shane Faulkner, a close family friend, said: "I am just shocked it has happened to him - he's definitely not that type of lad.
"He was looking forward to a career as a PE instructor and everyone will tell you the same thing about him - he was never in any kind of trouble. He would never have caused anything or provoked anything."
Tributes were left at the edge of the police cordon, where forensic science experts were searching the site. One of the notes, signed by Liam and family, read: "Brad. We had some great times mate - can't believe you have gone. We will miss you always."
A postmortem examination was being carried out yesterday. Police sources suggested that Bradley had not been stabbed with a knife, but with a broken bottle.
Another murder investigation was launched after a woman was killed in house fire yesterday morning in Kingsthorpe, Northamptonshire. Detectives confirmed the fire was being treated as suspicious. Firefighters carried the body of Mavis Clift, 73, from the burning house and she was certified dead by a police surgeon. Police forensic officers are scouring the woman's house for signs of how the fatal fire started. A man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Police were also investigating a possible link between a fight outside the Park Lane hotel, central London, in the early in hours of the morning, and the discovery of a man nearby who had collapsed and later died. Officers came across two men attacking another who was on the ground. They then found the other man around the corner. He was pronounced dead on arrival at a central London hospital. The two men thought to have been involved in the attack were arrested on suspicion of assault and the victim was taken to hospital and later discharged. The fourth man's death was being treated as unexplained and police said they were keeping an open mind about a possible link.
Death toll
· Bradley Whitfield, 16, was stabbed to death in Leicester and found by police in a pool of blood about 400 metres from his family home

New Delhi, May 11 (UNI) The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and Sri Lanka, which was implemented in March this year, has increased the bilateral trade between the two countries four times since 2000, a study said today.
The total bilateral trade has increased four times in the post-FTA period to 2.7 billion dollars in 2006-07 from a mere 685 million dollars in 2000-01, the study conducted by industry body Ficci revealed.
The FTA implementation period for India was from 2000-2003, whereas for Sri Lanka, the implementation period was eight years that is from 2000-2008.
India has taken a lead over Japan in the post-FTA period in terms of share in Sri Lanka's global imports.
In 1999, India's share was 9.5 per cent in Sri Lanka's imports and it was the second largest importer after Japan.
But in 2005, India achieved a share of over 17.3 per cent in Sri Lanka's imports and became the largest importer.
Prior to the FTA, the bilateral trade between India and Sri Lanka grew by just 10 per cent per annum in the seven years period that is from 1993-99, the study said.
However, the FTA really accelerated the trade flow between the two countries and it grew by over 27 per cent in the post-FTA period that is from 2000-2006.
Sri Lanka has also improved its presence in Indian market in the post-FTA period. In the pre-FTA period, it was ranked at 61 position in India's global imports, observed FICCI study.
Although, the share of Sri Lanka in India's global imports was not significant but its position improved from 61 to 34 by 2006-07.
In terms of composition of bilateral trade, some important changes occurred in the post-FTA period, the study revealed.
In 1999-2000, cotton, automotive, vegetables, pharmaceuticals and machinery and appliances were the top five items of Indian exports constituting around 50 per cent of our total exports to Sri Lanka.
However, in 2006-07 mineral fuel and iron&steel replaced vegetables and machinery, in the top 5 items of exports to Sri Lanka.
About 30 per cent of our exports to Sri Lanka constituted mineral fuels in post-FTA period. Exports of mineral fuels registered an unprecedented increase from almost nil in 1999-00 to 702 million dollars in 2006-07 to Sri Lanka.
Similarly, iron&steel increased by more than four times in the post-FTA period.
Imports also witnessed a change in composition in post-FTA period. Vegetable/animal fats&oils became the largest importing items of imports from Sri Lanka replacing tea and coffee in the post-FTA period, highlighted FICCI study.
The study added that not only trade but even investment flows also increased significantly as a result of FTA. FTA provided an opportunity for Indian investors to export from Sri Lanka to India at zero duty and also to import raw materials in Sri Lanka at zero duty.
From April 1996 to March 2002, India's total FDI in Sri Lanka was only 62 million dollars. It ratcheted up to 450 million dollars as a result of FTA by 2004, observed the FICCI study.

Living in the US
A silly question from someone in Europe. Is a salary of 36k USD a year something you can live with in the US (say in one of the middle cost of living states). I surfed the job websites, but nothing interesting I can find here. I am not planning on immigrating thought, just curious since I earn my salary in USD instead of the local currency.
I just moved back here from Germany, and although I'm on the East Coast, I think it would be difficult to make it on 36k per year, unless you were (a) in a very low-cost area, or (b) getting some help with your housing costs. I'm sure some people do it -- actually, I know many such people -- but usually only while they are early in their careers, in training, or waiting for a better job.
I guess it all really depends upon how well you want to live, if you are raising a family (and whether you will be a two-income household), and what you think your future earning potential might be over time.
36k is good money here (Poland), thought its still not enough to not worry about housing etc. The average people earn is 3 times less here. And here is the kicker:
- 1989 YJ - 4-5k (average condition, usually after extensive repairs, hauled from Germany)
- New JK - 30-40k (depends on the version, 2 doors)
- Gas ~4.3 USD per gallon.
Being tired of all the problems the politicians and other low-lifes choose to throw at me I am really thinking about moving out.
You could say I am early in my career, still 26, but did manage to accomplish a lot I think. But the thing I do now is not satisfying enough. If I did not start a family already I would move, work for a Green Card and join the Marines. Looks like this would give me a lot of more job satisfaction, then the desk job I got now :)
As it is for now my family is the most important thing for me, but I am still looking at options on finding the best place to raise my daughter. When I am thinking on the amount of BS you are exposed with even the most simple things down here... bleh.
Household income in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guess I am looking at better money if I am employed by a US company on the same position. The company I am working for is based in UK and is on the US stock market, so the experience and work time gained there should prove useful. Hopefully my English proves to be sufficient.
Thanks for the info, it really helps.
$36K in the US is definately OK for a single person in the US. When I got my first 'real' job making $28,800 w/ a company car 10 yrs ago I thought I made it big. I couldn't go back to that now that I've adjusted to a higher salary, but I could still do $36K if I watched my budget. At $36K you won't be rich, but you can be comfortable.
Also, where you live can make a HUGE difference in what I'm saying. The above is true for NE Ohio.
I wish I made 36k, I'm making 29k before taxes and their already planning another 2.5% pay cut
35k after taxes is like $20...most people in the US make less than $20 an hour. It definitely depends on where you live, the taxes here in Vermont a relatively low but the standard of living is high.
Here in SoCal, it would be a bit of a stretch even for a single person on $36K per year . . . at least in the areas that you'd feel comfortable living in.
In the mid west you can do fine on 35maybe not house
buying good but rent and still
have nice toys around 10 grant
Even better if you can live in the boonies

Will a man born in the marathon kingdom of Kenya be the one to save the sadly depleted Japanese marathon scene??? On April 4 Benjamin Ngandu (25, Team Fujitsu), well-rememberd for passing 12 people on the way to winning the Hakone Ekiden's ultracompetitive Second Stage his senior year at Nihon Univesity, revealed that he is exploring obtaining Japanese citizenship. Speaking about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics during an interview in Chiba on the occasion of his joining the Fujitsu corporate team, Ngandu, a longtime Japan resident, said, "I'm thinking about whether to run for Kenya or the Japanese team." He plans to make a final decision by 2018. If he chooses Japan he could become a totally outside-the-box catalyst that nobody could have foreseen for the revitalization of Japanese men's marathoning.
Translator's note: With the Project Exceed million dollar bonus for any Japanese citizen who breaks the 2:06:16 national record having been in place for over two years now, the only surprise here is that it has taken this long for this to happen.

May be they are not concentrating while doing their homework. They have no interest in studies. Therefore , we should teach them in such a way that studies seems interesting and fun for them.
A lot of students just do their homework to get it over with and don't see it as an extended learning assignment to take seriously.
If the student routinely does their homework and succeeds at that, yet also routinely fails the tests, then it could be any number of things. Could it be test anxiety? Are his parents helping/doing his homework for him? Are the tests accurate measures of what was covered in the homework?

Anatomy: How do birds fold their legs in flight?
Today's anatomy lesson was inspired by Michelline who asked why she sees only peregrines' neatly folded talons when they fly. Where do the rest of their legs go?
The bones in birds' legs are of nearly equal length and the hinges are opposite like an accordion. This has two advantages: They can lower themselves straight down to sit on their eggs without tipping over and they can retract their legs to a nearly flat position in flight.
To illustrate this I've highlighted the legs in red and numbered the joints:
- From the body to joint #1 is the thigh (femur)
- Joint #1 to #2 is the shin (tibiotarsus) and calf (fibula)
- Joint #2 to #3 is the foot (tarsometatarsus)
- Joint #3 to the end are the toes.
On peregrines it's rare to see all those segments. Their legs are much longer than we think!
The blue arrows show how birds fold their legs when they fly. In step (a) the thigh and shin fold up flat to the body and are hidden in the body feathers. In step (b) the foot and toes can do several things:
- They can extend straight backwards as shown by arrow (b),
- They can hang down in a slightly open position,
- Or they can retract up to the body just as the thigh and shin were retracted.
When you see only a peregrine's yellow toes in flight it's because his feet (which we call "legs") are extended backward and covered by his body feathers.
Aeronautical engineers learned from birds. Watch a jet take off and you'll see it retract its "legs" under its wings.
(bird skeleton by W. Ramsay Smith and J S Newell, 1889, via Wikimedia Commons, altered to illustrate the leg. Click on the image to see the original.)

I would like to be able to do that; tuck my legs under & soar for awhile; have to walk today as always ; at least sun is out, but the cold reminds me that we will be having less & less warm days but it is always a treat to see who is singing & trying to find seeds to eat. Thanks for much for the blog and I feel so lethargic today; too much good good food yesterday!!!

When SHTF, .223 Ain't gonna cut it.
I own several rifles in .223. They are fun to shoot. I would not shoot a deer with one. I would always choose something larger.
So, I ask myself (after TEOTWAWKI) why would I stake my life and the lives of my loved ones on a round with the following limitations?
- Marginal kill power for humans
- Poor penetration of cover
- Limited range (2-300 yds)
I figure the vast majority of threats after TSHTF will be armed with handguns, shotguns and CQC carbines like .223 or 7.62 X 39. When I'm shooting these bad guys, do I really want to be close enough to them for them to shoot me back? Do I really want to be S.O.L. the minute they duck behind cover? Do I really want to have to shoot them multiple times for a kill?
In Vietnam a sniper and his spotter (one with a .308 and the other with a 30-06) were able to keep a large group of enemy at bay for many days (killing most of them). Why? Because the enemy could never get close enough to shoot back at them with their carbines.
If someone comes barreling up my driveway, guns blazing, I want something that will penetrate the truck and send a clear message "you got the wrong house boys".
I don't mean to offend any AR-15 junkies, as I said I own several .223 semi-autos myself (for my wife and kids and for fun) but I think we'd be well advised to stop playing with plinkers and get some real rifles to do the job when the day comes.
I recently bought an M1A Socom and a .308 bolt action. They're less fun to pack around, more expensive to feed and I can carry less ammo than my .223s, but I think those are compromises we'll have to make to really have the power to do the job if and when the day comes.

Seems to kill just fine in the hands of our Marines..... not sure why you dont feel its a good round.... you hit anything you point it at. .308 and bigger gets a bit tricky in a fire fight under stress. Trust me.

well, a rifle in .223 would is good enough to hunt deer with, heck, my dad has hunted deer with his 22 mag rifle and succesfully down a couple with one shot. but to the point. the U.S. military has been using the round for 40+ years. i understand what you say about stoping power and wanting to knock them off before they get to to.
But, do you live in an area where you have 600-700+ yards of open land around your house? if so, not in my opinion, a good BOL. Most likely, anything post SHTF will be close quarters combat. where you'll wish you had that lighter. high capacity fire arm.
however, the choice is yours and i'm not trying to change your mind, just voicing my opinion.
That "weak" round won't do any damage huh, just bounce off? You freakin' people, 5.56/.223 is just fine for it's job, which is killing bad guys.

I'm fine with my 5.56 with either 55, 62, 69 or 77 grain bullets. If you don't think the 5.56 can kill or take out a car then maybe you should up that to a good old .45 ACP that has more than enough power to kill or stop a car.
As for range if you can't hit **** with a 5.56 past 200-300 yards then you can't hit **** with anything else either.
I can shoot mine well past where others can and if I want to up the anti then I'll pull out the .308 or .30-06 with AP rounds. They don't extend the range so much as the down range power.
For day to day carry my AR 15 is just fine. Well the 5.45 one.
Carry what you want but don't crap on other people because you can't shoot for ****.

Big guns
You forgot the 50cal sniper rifle. That's a BIG gun and was popular with the military for long shots.
The Russians liked the 7.62mm sniper rifle. NATO seems to like the 7.62mm ammo. Just remember that a caliber has different flavors.
Up close the M16 is fine or a 12ga shotgun with 00 buck. The military used shotguns in Viet Nam. M16's were used for sniping as well.
9mm Luger is used in carbine rifles; Kel-Tec makes a folding carbine. So that would be a good choice since you could use it in a pistol as well. Ruger Blackhawk comes in a 30cal carbine pistol which works good for the M1 Carbine rifle.
It just depends on what you want to do with it. I'd stick with something that uses ammo that is plentiful & affordable.
Right now I see a lot of empty shelves and backordered stuff. People are really stocking up right now and I see the government getting really nervous about it. It won't be long before either guns are outlawed or the ammunition is. Ammunition only has to be declared a hazardous material under OSHA and it will be gone.
|The Following 14 Users Say Thank You to mtncharlie For This Useful Post:
As with any caliber, the ammunition is the key element.
Standard Military Ball ammunition MIGHT be marginal, depending on what you envision your need. However, Nosler Ballistic Tip .223 ammunition can be devastating.
Granted, it won't perform or have the effectiveness of a .308 or 30-06 round. But, the Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet is much more effective than military ball rounds.
There are certainly pros and cons to the .223 cartridge, but for civilians, there are more options than the standard military ball cartridge.
As for "limited range", exactly what threat do you envision having to contend with past 300 yards? I don't know where you are or what threats you are planning to contend with, but if you think you will need to take shots past 300 yards, I would agree that a .30 caliber rifle would be better suited to the task. Although I think that shots past 100 yards hardly qualifies as a "self defense" situation. But that's just my opinion.

As for the question of the 5.56 round: if you limit yourself to the full metal jacket round, then you are correct. The Geneva Convention on projectiles was an effort to make them LESS lethal, the thinking of the day was "a wounded man takes more men out of the fight to take care of them than a dead man does", really kind of silly when a high explosive shell can turn you into a red mist, but, oh well.
If the proper rounds are used, I can guarantee a one shot kill with the 5.56. Body armor? there's not many that will defeat a 5.56 round, none that will defeat a round with a tungsten penetrator.
As for shooting deer with one, if you get a properly expanding bullet into a vital area they will go down like a pole-axed steer, and you won't have the bloodshot meat that you get from some of the bigger slugs.

As many of the people who haunt these boards have a very good grounding in firearms, clearly including some of the replies you have received already, let me just tackle a couple of points.
As part of your argument you have made reference to the following incident:
"In Vietnam a sniper and his spotter (one with a .308 and the other with a 30-06) were able to keep a large group of enemy at bay for many days (killing most of them). Why? Because the enemy could never get close enough to shoot back at them with their carbines."
I believe your basic facts are straight as they have come to be reported about this incident. I am among those who don't believe it could havre happened that way. I am not even sure that there is any proof that the sniper team ever reported it that way themselves. But if it did, it wa sa unique situation where a couple of precision shooters caught a force that was less than professional at long range and pinned them down in a rice paddy area. That situation is too unique to be used as an argument for heavy long calibers over the 5.56X45.
Carried to an extreme we would be best served carrying .338 Lapua Magnums but I can tell you that I would shoot better with a rifle, sight, load combination no heavier than 7.62X51. As for even heavier rounds forget it for me, and I have done a lot of shooting over a span of many years, and had the benefit of some terrific shooting instructors and world class ranges.
There are many people that would not be particularly effective with a .300 magnum or a .223 on burst fire. And there are many others who I would not consider engaging even if they only had a .22 magnum bolt gun.
In the end it comes down to the human factor.
But if you get a good shootist behind a top grade. 308, watch out, Katey bar the door.

Just having a "larger round" is never enough. If you think that you can use a .308, .338 Lapua, .300 Win Mag, .416, or .50 BMG and hold of a force of superior numbers and not have the proper training to do so, you are kidding yourself.
SNIPERS are very highly trained and know how, when, and where to shoot - exactly and precisely - not just in round placement, but what effects it will have overall to the force being engaged.
Without training, I dare to to take one shot with that "larger" round at any well trained unit, especially at anything less than 600 meters. Your ass will get screened, suppressed, flanked, and filled with little .223 caliber holes.
FYI: All Marines MUST qualify with their 5.56 rifles, with distances out to 500 meters (546 yards). The round most certainly has a range well beyond 300 yards.

Modern military thinking is now going backwards in terms of the trend to decrease the caliber of standard infantry rifles. Experiences in Afghanistan have shown that for more open terrain the 5.56 simply isn't good enough.
A trial is currently being conducted by British forces with 7.62 caliber assault rifles in Afghanistan as they feel there is a need for the average soldier to engage hostiles at longer distances.
One of the main reasons for this is that they are facing, almost exclusively, AK fire. While the AK is inherently less accurate it has the potential to cause more damage at larger distances.

The only thing I fear is the .223 resistant bad guys!
The AR seems to be a precision rifle - just put a .223 where it needs to go.

No offense, but most folks won't be in a situation where armed shootouts will be a norm nor be in a position for long range shots. I can't think of any situation where long range shots are even justified......if you find yourself in a firefight, you have more problems than what caliber you have.........same with a truckful of armed folks, barreling up the road shooting. How do you know they didn't just break into a NG armory and have RPGs or grenades, etc. Shooting from your house puts you at a disadvantage. They can surround you and burn you out or worse.
Nope, PSHTF, my plan is to lay low and look empty.......I will keep the shooting to a minimum and avoid folks at all costs.........any shooting will most likely be at close range, with a SG.

i dont see how you could possibly pick a fight with someone in a shtf situation from 400 yards away unless you are the bad guy and are offensively attacking individuals in order to raid their provisions.
The "enemy" isnt going to be wearing an enemy uniform, and the good guys arent going to be wearing good guy uniforms.
I think people with this mentality are going to be the biggest hazard in shtf situation. I definitely dont want to be shot by some overzealous sniper waiting to shoot the first person who crosses their line of sight.

I don't want anyone to have the impression that I believe the .223 can't be a very effective weapon in many scenarios. As I said, I have several and love them. I think they would be very handy in a number of applications. A mini-14 or AR-15 can make a 12 year old or small-frame woman lethal and that's really saying something. The round is light, inexpensive, and accurate and it can, in fact, kill bad guys.
I'm just suggesting that the round has some serious limitations for many very possible scenarios (ie..bad guys behind trees or cars or bad guys at long distance).
Also, the military's choice of .5.56/.223 and 9mm (before anyone gets all excited, know that most of my handguns are 9mm) may not be the best criteria for making our own choices. The military's ends are best met by wounding enemy combatants not by killing them. It costs the enemy more resources to deal with a wounded soldier than a dead one.
I appreciate the points many have made and don't disagree. I'm just suggesting that those commited to survival ought to have more than one tool in their gun safe and ought to be familar with its use so that when the need arises, you'll have the tools you need to protect you and yours.
I worry about the prevalence of the idea that .223 will be "all we need". My hope is that some will consider the limitations of their current tools and consider acquiring other tools that may help to save them should their .223 fail to match their needs.
I have been much influenced by Boston's Gun Bible. I recommend that anyone interested in this question refer to that resource. Boston knows a lot about guns. He says, in no uncertain terms, that if you're only going to have one rifle it ought to be a semi-automatic .308. He, like me, also has several .223s but they aren't his "first and only".
Be safe,
