Unexpected surprises
"What am I supposed to do with this?" The shock on Clayton's face was clearly evident as his gaze followed Jay around the room.
"Can he even use it?"
"He will be just fine." Checking his gun one last time Jay was oblivious to Clayton's struggle to keep the gun steady in his hands.
"Yeah but a loaded gun, is this really necessary?" Looking back at Clayton, still struggling to get the magazine clip out, her irritation gave in. "O, just give me that already!" Grabbing the gun from his hand she expertly loaded the gun for him before returning her attention to the conversation. "What? I grew up with three brothers. It was inevitable."
Outside Alex found himself wishing for the warm comfort of his bed as he slowly sloshed forward through the rain. The house before him seemed to be abandoned as the rain kept pouring before him. Stepping in from the rain Alex had no time to react as the gunshot rang out through the room. He could still see the flash behind his closed eyelids, still smell the gunpowder and age. In that instance the burning pain, as the bullet tore through his flesh, forced him back against the wall. Shock flowed from him as the sounds around him slowly came drifting back. He knew that he had been shot as the smell of gunpowder and age still lingered in the air. Heavy, deliberate footsteps echoed in his head as Alex tried his hardest to force his eyes open again.
"Jay, it's late. Can't we conclude this in the morning?" Stirring slightly in recognition Alex had only enough strength to stay awake long enough to hear Jay grumbling something incoherent as the room once more fell into darkness.
"You know he is going to kill him. Why prolong his suffering?"
"Clayton, I can't stay here. I need you to help me on this, alright?"
"You're leaving? After all this? You are going to leave me with his death!"
"I'll plant the idea in his head, you just need to keep him on track."
"Jacque is coming to fetch me in the morning, I'll keep the law off your trail while you focus on keeping them alive."
"Why don't you just say it like it is? Keep him calm. I have no desire of ending up like Leo." Their conversation was cut short as Jay re-entered the room with some left over rope and a satisfied grin on his face. "Make sure everything is quite tonight. We don't want to be disturbed."
"I really did not need to know that." Still grumbling about the injustice Clayton lifted an unconscious Alex from the floor before dragging him from the room.

Light My Fire FireSteel 2.0
Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, the legendary Swedish FireSteel is the original fire starter. Being the best, however, means always having to push the envelope. The result is a new generation with an improved striker that makes it even easier to build a fire in any weather, at any altitude. This second generation Swedish FireSteel 2.0 also features a new design, a color matched lanyard, and a built in emergency whistle. The Swedish FireSteel's dependability and intense, close to 3,000degC 5400degF sparks, have long made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen, and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a foolproof way to light stoves and gas barbecues.Light My Fire FireSteel 2.0 Features: Durable lasts approximately 3,000 strikes. Improved stainless steel striker and ergonomic handles. Built in emergency whistle. Produces a 3,000degC 5,400degF

Published: 30th Jun 2011
VoIP remains the most popular service currently being deployed over the protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), a new study has revealed.
Excerpts from an Infonetics Research survey also showed a surge in interest for mobile products in 2011, following interviews with those who have IMS core equipment in their networks.
Diane Myers, directing analyst for VoIP and IMS at the organisation, said that 35 per cent of respondents currently have VoIP systems and other mobile options running over 3G, adding that this is expected to rise to around 78 per cent by 2013.
According to the figures, there remain few impediments to IMS deployment, with only a small number of those polled rating factors as 'definitely a barrier'.
However, the most cited problem was difficulties in integration with existing back-end systems.
Writing for Billing & OSS World magazine, Dan Baker recently described VoIP as one of the telecommunication sector's greatest success stories.

Mascenic: $1.6M cut from budget at deliberative
Free Staters took over the Mascenic deliberative session and cut their $19M budget by about $1.9M. Are other towns and contracts next?
As reported by the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, voters approved a $1,630,000 cut of the proposed Mascenic School District budget, which school officials say would be devastating to the operation of the district if it passes at the polls in March.
During Saturday's deliberative session, New Ipswich resident Bentti Hoiska, seconded by current Select Board member Woody Meiszner, moved to lower the proposed budget from $19,295,348 to $17,665,000.
Hoiska and Meiszner both spoke of the need to control taxes, particularly in New Ipswich, as a justification for the proposed cut. Meiszner pointed to the rising delinquency in tax payments as a result of inability to pay, saying, "Without being overly dramatic, is it worth it to have a school system with all the whistles and bells at the expense of having people put out of their homes?"
Corrine Joly, a New Ipswich resident and Mascenic teacher, spoke against the amendment, saying, "I can't envision the devastation," if the proposed amendment were passed and adopted at the polls. "That kind of cut is going to be devastating."
Hoiska's amendment passed in a 164-84 vote.
As educators, we owe it to our students to stay engaged in the deliberative and electoral process.
Education is our calling. And while students may not understand that passing the wrong budget or electing the wrong candidate could mean fewer programs, larger classrooms, and less access to technology, we do. We have a responsibility to our students to keep protecting their interests.
Town Meetings and elections have consequences for educators, students, parents, and public schools. Budgets, contracts, school boards and elected officials, at all levels, make decisions that directly affect school funding, class size, and the length of the school day.
The voices of educators matter in every community and every election. With more than 16,000 members across New Hampshire, NEA New Hampshire is the state's largest union. Educators are trusted members of their communities with the power to shape the conversation. We live in every legislative district and ward in New Hampshire. Our efforts and influence can make education play a critical role in many campaigns this year. It's our job to ensure our collective voice continues to drive the conversation.
We need to stay very involved. We are in a unique position to define what is required to provide the schools and educational experience our students deserve.
Voting is the easy part. It is imperative to educate outside the classroom too. Engage your family, friends, and colleagues in conversations about the qualities you want to see in our schools, our budgets and our elected leaders.
We can't wait. As we have already seen, those opposed to public education are already taking action. Are you ready to make a difference for education? Contact your local president or UniServ Director to find out how you can help today.

Unfortunatly i found this installment of Desperate Housewives to be abit boring and abit of a disopointment. The storylines in this episode had potential but Desperate Housewives just didnt take advantage of them. Lynettes storyline this week was pretty bland I thought the whole Renee/Tom storyline was boring and unorignal anyway but i am glad that the secret is out and we can move on and hopefully give renee something more intresting to do. I was hoping that in this epsode lynette would be abit more sympathtic to the neighbours and her friends considering it was her fault the riots escalated the way they did and the fact that she didnt even apoligies to susan or anything i felt that was pretty lazy!
Gaby's boring baby swap story continued this week and once agian i wasnt excited by it i think that Desperate Housewives could have really made this storyline intresting now that Juanita knows the truth but instead it felt boring and unorignal, However it is nice to see Eva longoria get some more dramatic scenes other then just physical comedy. Bree's storyline was probably the most enjoyable this week only because it was nice to have orson back i thought the food fight between Orson and Keith was pretty funny, I like that Bree explianed that keith has changed her because she is definitly not as uptight as she used to be, however the unfortunate thing about this story was that it reminded me of how well Orson and Bree worked together they are a much better relationship then boring old keith but oh well im still hooping bree and keith will br over by season's end. Susan's storyline was ok this week it was nice to have Teri hatcher playing something more serious and im intriged to see what happens next for susan and her kidneys. The mystery this week was probably the biggest let down of the episode, Know one even seemed to care that Paul had been shot, there was no talks about the halfway house which caused all the riots i felt that was agian very lazy writing, however i was suprised by the revelation that mike is talking to felica, and i am looking forward to see what paul is going to do with Beth,
Overall a pretty unimpresive episode of Desperate housewives i hope this isnt a sign of things to come.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › 8×8 Pyramid
@dirtbagclimberLocale: Pacific Northwest
Perusing Oware's website I see that they have an 8×8 Pyramid listed. I know a lot of people here have designed and changed and experimented with every size and variation of the pyramid shelter and I'm wondering how practical this size really is.
My experience with this sort of shelter is that you really need enough space to be able to not have your sleeping system touch the walls at all, even with some moving around. I'm thinking 8' of length probably isn't enough for this to be practical for most of us medium-sized people.
I have also been looking into a pyramid shelter. Oware, MLD both have similar shelters. I came across the Black Diamond Beta light shelter which uses 2 trekking poles. Its a tad bit longer than 8 feet. The trekking poles are set up at the ends so it looks like the material isn't angled tight as a pyramid shelter on the sides. Black diamond's website claims its only 19 ounces. I think I am going to try it. Oh yeah its made of the same 30d silnylon as the other pyramid shelters as well. Just thought I'd share this with you. Only thing I dont like are the colors.

Medically speaking, an early-term clinical abortion is a minor procedure. If performed early enough, treatment may be done via medication (usually a combination of mifepristone and prostaglandin) or day surgery. The vast majority of late-term abortions occur, of course, as the result of medical concerns about foetal viability or the mother's health.
Even so, there remain doctors who cite religious reasons against pregnancy termination treatment. As the Hippocratic oath states very clearly "I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone", the refusal of such doctors to perform a procedure always sought in a patient's best medical interest can be confounding. In my home state of Victoria, section 8 of our abortion legislation merely obliges these "conscientious objectors" to provide referrals, and does not compel doctors to perform the medical task at hand or risk their medical accreditation for failing their oath.
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) vigorously defends the conscientious objection of anti-abortion doctors, yet the same association is paradoxically committed to a recognition of women's bodily autonomy (the association has, for example, opposed Zoe's law in New South Wales).
The "best practice" standard advocated by the AMA is that conscientious objector doctors both advertise their unpreparedness to provide abortion services as well as dispense information locating alternative practitioners well in advance of any consultation. This is already the practice of some doctors in Victoria, who declare their refusal to perform certain services on signs displayed in their clinics in line with the provision of section 8.
For pro-choice advocates, this position may appear hostile to the notion of safe and legal abortion on-demand. And yet, those advocates would do well to consider the greater implications of the AMA's position, because the maintenance of a conscientious objection mechanism within present abortion legislation actually validates and strengthens the cause of pro-choice rights.
There is no question that doctors who hector patients, deny them referrals or refuse treatment in a life-threatening medical emergency should be struck from the register and face sanctions, but what the the AMA's "best practice" position amounts to is the recognition that the state does not have the right to enforce political or religious beliefs over doctors in the provision of care. In the paradoxical world of pro-choice politics, a defence of the right of doctors to deny abortion services without state interference must therefore be a necessary commitment of those whose cause is the autonomy of women to decide their own medical treatment without state interference, too.
The precedent and principle extends far beyond the present abortion wars, of course. Conscientious objection is what enables doctors to fight for Australian standards of care for refugees in Australian detention at Manus Island, for example, while the policies of immigration minister Scott Morrison are to standardise refugee medical care to that of the external practice of Papua New Guinea.
The abortion issue is one of immediacy in my home state of Victoria, where the procedure was decriminalised only a mere five years ago. The campaign for a final removal of abortion from the Victorian criminal code took 35 years, but passed both houses of parliament with a conscience vote.
There has been much in the media recently about the threat to this hard-won recognition of female bodily autonomy in Victorian law, as independent MP Geoff Shaw is seeking to change the state's abortion laws to which would further restrict access to the procedure. Premier Denis Napthine was a member of the lower house that passed the legislation in 2008, and voted against. Shaw has made no secret of his willingness to trade his government-making allegiance to whichever side of politics delivers the opportunity to recriminalise abortion and restrict what is now a right in law for Victorian women to acquire safe, legal terminations of pregnancies to 24 weeks, and past 24-weeks with medical support.
What is rumoured to be currently on offer between Shaw and the governing Liberal party – whose membership he renounced – is a specific repeal of section 8. And in the topsy-turvy world of abortion politics in Australia, both feminist columnists such as Amy Gray and Susie O'Brien from the conservative stable of Murdoch's Herald-Sun have come out as one mind in opposition to any retrogressive changes to the 2008 bill. This is a flashpoint issue in Victoria given recent medical board investigations of anti-choice doctors who, despite retaining their right to conscientiously object to performing the abortion procedure, flouted the legislation and further refused to refer abortion-seeking patients to others.
The principle of respectful autonomy is what is threatened by the "deal" supposedly being negotiated by the Victorian government. The rumoured repeal of section 8 must be fought for the political horse-trade that it is, as the respect of a provision to conscientious objection demands that services be referred so no patient is ever exposed to harm. To exploit women's health for one MP's single-issue zealotry and a party's political convenience is a disgrace and a shame that should rightfully have dire electoral repercussions for all involved.

God, it's difficult to keep your resolutions going as 2014 gets into its stride. I'm supposed to be running, but today's was a real wrench. I've had a difficult few weeks motivation-wise, so it was my first of the year, and it's left me breathless and bent double, barely able to talk, smoke or remove my headphones.
I should say, too, what happened just now wasn't really running. Not really. It was a slow, loud jog. The sound of my massive feet slapping in the mud. The bagpiping yelp of my lungs struggling to cope with my resolution.
Occasionally, my red-raw lips fired out an expletive-riddled grunt. Ugly. But at least I was out there doing something. This was 11am. There would have been some people still not yet awake, or awake but eating white toast or bacon or curry. I was doing the right thing. I was turning over a new leaf.
Up there on the heath, the thin rain blew into my eyes and stuck my forelock to my face. The cold wind danced up my shorts and I found myself crying as I moved between the puddles. I was not alone this morning. Some humans are still sticking to their plan. Through the mist I saw many big units, still with turkey feathers hanging from their chops, brandy butter smeared on their chins. Terrible apparitions, gowned in bright, new tracksuits, chugging through mud, struggling up hills, trying to wobble off a few ounces. Occasionally they fell. Their velour became sodden, drinking in a puddle. More joggers stepped over their broken frames. Cursing, knackered. No one wanted to be there.
I know how they feel. January's such a stupid time to make resolutions. A part of me wants to run, it really does, but look at the weather, man. Rancid, icy drizzle. So unappetising. Lying in bed, the condensation weeping down my windows, the wind clattering my wind chime, the last thing I want to do is swap my warm nest for that horseshit. Recently I slept with a girl who had such soft, comforting sheets, I got the details and bought a set. Wrapping my body in those seems a far more appealing AM prospect than exposing myself to the elements.
But I'm taking this seriously. I've reinvested the money I earn as a columnist into scientifically appropriate footwear. On New Year's Day I went to a shop where someone filmed me running so I could be fitted with trainers that matched my feet. A 25-year-old man observed me as I stripped to my sports underwear and ran while he videoed me. Occasionally I would hear him say the word "splayed" as he observed my duck-like technique. But I must have been doing something right because I danced away with a £95 pair of yellow and white Asics.
What is the end game? Surely it can't be to haul my sorry frame through the shitty elements week-on-week. I think I'm trying to recapture former glories. I've run a marathon (4:04:05). I've run a half marathon (1:36:35). I used to be thin at school. And now I'm reduced to this. A 14-stone writer, crawling past ponds and struggling up hills in a headband. That is what I did this morning. That is why I need a pint of Ribena so bad.
I reached Parliament Hill and squinted down to where I had come from. Sunshine made the wet grass sparkle. The panorama was peppered with citizens plodding gallantly. I gulped in the fresh air of London and threw my hands into the sky. This is worth it! I hurtled down the hill at breakneck pace, got a stitch, slowed to a walk and ambled home wincing.
The stairs up to my flat were too much, and I sprawled upon them, pointing vaguely with my key in the hope that the door would open. Then I hauled myself in and lay in my bathroom like a prawn. It's doing me good. It will get easier. It isn't natural. But I won't be defeated.

Since 2005 we have specialized in authentic, original, rare and collectable vintage, antique and estate jewellery from around the World. All vintage jewellery on the website is genuine and authentic and not modern replica''s or reproductions. To keep vintage jewels in their original condition you will find most antique and vintage jewellery is purchased by serious collectors and usually the pieces are not worn for everyday wear as some precious designer and unsigned pieces are now considered museum quality. Estate jewellery does not necessarily mean that a piece of jewellery is old, only that it is pre-owned. Collectible and rare jewellery usually means a piece that is no longer in production and antique period jewellery is a term that broadly covers jewellery from a specific chronological era.
Although our main focus is selling antique and vintage jewellery we decided to expand our product range with collectibles and memborabilia because sometimes it's the least expected place to find your treasure. We often come across some wonderful finds when we venture out on the search for jewellery and like to think 'Maybe our customers will like this and have tried to find this exact item', it's good to know we can give our customers a nice eureka moment!

Oil Falls Below $90 for First Time Since Mid February as IEA Announces Release of 60M in Oil Reserves, including 30M from U.S.
While Wall Street hates lower oil since it signals growth slowdown, recent action in oil continues to become a net positive for American consumers. (as does the bounce in the dollar) Today we have oil down below $90 for the first time since mid February, as the International Energy Agency announced the release of 60M barrels of oil from strategic reserves. 30M of this comes from the U.S. - the first such release since 2008.
- "Today, for the third time in the history of the International Energy Agency, our member countries have decided to release stocks." IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said. "I expect this action will contribute to well-supplied markets and to ensuring a soft landing for the world economy."
- The IEA said it would release 2 million barrels per day (bpd) over 30 days onto the world market to fill the gap in supplies left by the disruption to Libya's output. Libya was exporting about 1.2 million bpd.
- The Energy Department said Thursday it will release 30 million barrels of oil from its 727 million barrel reserve, about half of the 60 million barrels to be released globally. The U.S. release would be equivalent to about a day and a half of total U.S. oil consumption.

INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP) are an uncommon cause of chronic cough. Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is a very rare diagnosis, found in only about 1% of biopsies performed for interstitial lung disease. LIP is manifested as a lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the alveolar spaces and interstitium. Though the etiology of this process is unknown, it is most commonly associated with connective tissue disease and immunodeficiency. We present a case of LIP in a 43-year-old male presenting with chronic cough.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 43 year-old non-smoking male presented to our clinic for evaluation of a chronic, dry cough of two months duration. He denied sputum production, fever, allergies, gastrointestinal reflux, and wheezing. Previous treatment included multiple courses of antibiotics, with no improvement in symptoms. Vital signs and physical exam were normal. Chest x-ray showed no acute cardiopulmonary process. Initial spirometry revealed a mild reduction in FVC without bronchodilator response. He was started on empiric treatment for chronic cough including an antihistamine and proton pump inhibitor. He returned six weeks later for follow-up with no improvement in his cough. Repeat spirometry included lung volumes consistent with a moderate restrictive pattern. A high-resolution chest CT scan revealed basilar subpleural interlobular septal thickening and ground glass opacities. A bronchoscopy, with transbronchial biopsies and bronchoalveolar lavage, was performed. Pathology showed a focal lymphoid follicle, with nonspecific, mixed inflammation on BAL. The patient was referred for surgical lung biopsy, which revealed prominent lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates with lymphoid follicle formation, consistent with lymphoid interstitial pneumonia. The patient subsequently developed symptoms consistent with an autoimmune myositis, though definitive diagnosis of his rheumatologic disease is pending at the time of this submission.
DISCUSSION: Lymphoid Interstitial Pneumonia (LIP) is a rare condition that has a variable clinical course. It was first described in 1969 and classified as an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. LIP falls within a spectrum of disease ranging from follicular bronchiolitis to malignant lymphoma. LIP is characterized on pathology by diffuse, polyclonal lymphoid cell infiltrates that invade the interstitium and surround the airways. CT scan commonly shows thickened bronchovascular bundles, nodules, cysts and ground-glass opacities. It is most frequently associated with autoimmune disorders, with Sjogren syndrome being the most common. Systemic immune deficiencies are also known causes, specifically HIV infection and common variable immunodeficiency. LIP tends to be female predominant with a mean age at diagnosis of 52-56 years. There is no race predominance, although most HIV-positive adults with LIP are African-American, and most HIV-negative adults are Caucasian. LIP is common in HIV-infected children, (16-50%), and is considered an AIDS-defining condition. While evidence of LIP can be seen on transbronchial biopsies, open lung biopsy is required for definitive diagnosis. It is typically treated with high-dose oral steroids, however the response is unpredictable. The clinical course is highly variable, ranging from complete resolution to death. Older studies showed a high transformation rate to malignant lymphoma (approximately 30%), but subsequent studies suggested that the number was likely closer to 5%.
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic cough is a common presenting symptom evaluated by pulmonary physicians. Though cough is most frequently attributed to conditions such as asthma, gastroesophageal reflux and upper airway cough syndrome, other less common etiologies should be considered if initial therapy for these conditions is unsuccessful. Using an algorithmic approach, additional testing, targeted by history, exam and spirometry findings, may be useful. In the case of our patient, a chest CT was performed to evaluate cough in the setting of progressive restriction. An interstitial abnormality not appreciated on chest x-ray was found, which prompted biopsy and ultimately led to the diagnosis of this unusual interstitial process. The exact incidence and prevalence rates of LIP are largely unknown, as it occurs so infrequently.

In the Page Layout lesson, we introduced the following simple CSS reset:
* { margin:0; padding:0; border:0; }
As we noted there, this effectively does away with all margin, padding and borders for every element. This includes form controls. However, resetting form control styles has some undesirable effects. Eric Meyer covers this in detail in his article at http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/15/formal-weirdness. The big takeaway is that different browsers have different default displays for form controls and that it is not possible to reconstruct those displays using CSS, so it's generally better to leave form controls alone.
Meyer provides a more detailed reset at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/index.html that avoids resetting form controls. You'll find a copy of this file (reset-meyer.css in your CssForms directory. And we will use it in our code here.

Shaw / McPike mystery
Nicholas Counts born about 1801 - 1802 married Louisa Shaw in Madison county MO April 8, 1833
I think William Counts who married Malinda Tongue june3, 1828 is Nicholas' brother.
The 1830 St Genevieve county census shows a George Counts, Gainum? Counts and a Nicholas Counts living near one another along with neigbors William Shaw and James Shaw.
The 1850 census of Madison County lists
Nicolas Counts age 49 b. Tenn with wife Louisa age 46 b. NY
son Adeniran ( Adoniram )age 17 MO, Nicholas J. age 12 MO, Edmond age 10 MO, Mary age 8 MO and Sarah age 7 MO
(This family is in the 1860 and 1870 Madison County census also)I think Nicholas died 1877, not sure when Louisa died.
nearby live William age 26 b MO and Sarah Counts family and Wm D age 23 MO and Mary A Counts families.
I'm trying to find the parents of Louisa Shaw. I have no record of her father. Her mother's name is Thurza or Thursea (maiden name unknown to me) b 1775 in Massachusetts. I find them in Ostego county New York early 1800s before settling in Missouri. Thursea lived her later life in Sharp County Arkansas with her sons Adoniram and John Shaw.
Louisa was born about 1806 in New York ... probably Ostego County. I know she has a brother named Adoniram a sister named Mariah. Mariah married and lived in West Virginia or Maryland ... I believe she also has a brother John L. Shaw and maybe William.
Louisa's sister is my great great great grandmother. This is my Shaw / McPIke mystery.... my ggggrandmotheris known only to me as "miss" Shaw of Missouri who married Haley McPike in MO around 1820. I know her siblings names and her mother's name is Thurzy, but what is her first name?
My great great grandfather George Washington McPike buried in the Street family cemetery in Calamine had a son named Adoniram also.
Please if anyone doing research on Shaws or Mcpikes in Arkansas. Please help me solve my genealogical mystery. :) Thanks, bill pittillo
