BeschreibungThis book presents a unique range of interdisciplinary work on questions of language development and evolution. It makes visible the significant contribution which meaning-oriented linguistics is making to debates about the origins of language - from the perspective of language evolution in the species as well as language development in the child. As well as linguistics in the systemic functional, or Hallidayan, tradition, the book offers contributions from primatology, psychiatry, sociology and education.>

PressestimmenThis book's major themes are highly integrated across the various contributions, reflecting faithfully the rich complexity of such a holistic model of language as SFL. The methods of study (naturalistic and contextualized), the major concepts - system and semiosis, function as metafunction, dimensionalism, and the role of context in relation to meaning and the individual - and the applications of these notions to domains like education, primate studies and psychology, are all woven together into a satisfying and challenging whole. The book is stimulating without being over reliant on arcane terminology, and it also keeps open the possibilities for further development and modification of this approach to language.' W. N.

Inversics is one of the three power branches in the Lumiverse, and can arguably be considered the opposing force, the counter-balance, to psionics. However, it goes beyond direct opposition. As the name implies, inversics is the inverse of psionics- it's reflection if you will.
In order to better understand the principles for inversics we need to look at the simplest way you can summarise it as a whole. For example, Lumi Faraday stated that you may summarise the entirety of psionics, as vast and complex as it is, in these words:
- Connection
- Information
- Manipulation.
Any psionic power can be basically defined by one or more of these words. Knowing this, through her observations, and the observations of others, of Nita Flores' inversic powers, Lumi attempted the same idea. It's not as elegant or simple, but the following is what she came up with:
- Cancellation
- Corrosion
- Descension
- Destruction
- Disconnection
- Distortion
- Invert
- Negation
- Reversion
Psionic Mind
As explained in the Fundamentals of Psionics, every being has three parts, the Body/Form, the Mind, and the Spirit/Soul. The Mind is comprised of the Physical Brain and Psionic Mind. The Psionic Mind exists to enhance and aid the Physical Brain, and even the Body and Spirit, and allows for that individual to use psionic powers to begin with.
However, when born an inversic, the psionic mind becomes and inversic mind.
Inversic Forces
In regards to the fundamental forces, it appears that, like psionics, inversics possesses inversic energy, and an inversic equivalent of telekinetic "force". Unlike psionic forces however, inversic forces are inherently poisonous to life, causing Inversics (psychics with inversic power) to die young, or die before birth.
Inversic forces cause severe psychic attacks from simple "contact", and through studies by Lumi Faraday, flesh-to-flesh contact with an inversic is enough to trigger one of these attacks. Such contact causes the contacting flesh of the non-inversic being to rot and die immediately as well.
Run Down
So, you're one of the lucky, precious few living inversics, who hasn't been killed by their own inversic mind. What can you expect from this point on? Well, the first thing to expect is that inversics are heavily homogeneous. Unlike psionics, which has seven distinct areas, and a rainbow-like plethora of abilities, powers, e.t.c., in each of those areas, inversics, at best, can be described by three of four dubiously homogeneous areas.
Now, before you might even discover you have a power, there are a few things which comes as standard with the Inversics Power Pack. Firstly, your mind and flesh are now a danger to all non-inversic beings. Those that have flesh-to-flesh contact with you will first notice a subconscious discomfort while doing so.
As you develop as a being, and as your powers develop, this effect will become much more dangerous, developing from inducing discomfort into potent psychic attacks- possibly lethal, and causing the flesh of those that touch you to die, ruining plenty of dates.
On the bright side, psionic powers and abilities have to put in a lot more work to affect you at the start of your development, but after so long, basic and advanced psionic powers and abilities will cease to affect you altogether. Using some of those powers on you, especially telepathy, will become dangerous to the psionic. With a decent amount of development, and possibly awakening, psionics as a whole will become less threatening than a mildly annoying house fly, as your mind automatically shoots bug spray at it every time it tries to land on you.
Basic Skillset
You've now realised you're inversic, and have begun training your powers. You, and every other inversic, will all start in the same place- "Invekinesis" and "Invepathy". These are the most basic and fundamental stages of inversics, and every inversic starts at this point. To understand them, we'll need to look at Telekinesis and Telepathy.
Telekinesis is about manipulation- forces and phenomenon that control other things. The inverse of this is, well, to not manipulate, to be hands off, to abandon, to misguide, to remove the manipulate entirely- to "leave alone".
Invekinesis, when applied to the target, at it's fullest, removes the affects of all physical things from that target. As a simple example, if it's applied to a brick, the affects of invekinesis would cease energy transfer to and from the brick, the laws of physics would go wibbly-wobbly, or break down entirely, within the brick, atomic bonds in the brick would sudden cease- and the brick would just vanish, as the atoms, or even subatomic particles, break apart.
Powerful enough invekinesis can even "nullify" the properties of things it targets.
When powerful enough invekinesis is applied to a target, only telekinesis which can overpower the invekinesis, and can control matter at a subatomic level, stands a chance of saving the target. However, invekinesis can completely destroy a target within nanoseconds if trained well enough. To summarize (but not limited to):
- Atomic Cancellation
- Death Inducement
- Destruction
- Disintegration
- Explosive Negation
- Field Negation
- Friction Negation
- Pain Inducement
- Physical Law Erasure
- Physics Distortion
- Portal Negation
- Property Negation
- Spatial Distortion
- Telekinesis Negation
- Temperature Immunity
Telepathy is telekinesis' mental counterpart, and is about the manipulation of the mind and mental forces, as well as the communication and reading of minds. Again, the inverse of manipulation comes into play.
Invepathy, when applied to the target, at it's fullest, removes the affects of all psionic and mental things from that target. While applied to a target, their mind stagnates, as it ceases to develop, and psionic powers and effects stop functioning. That individual will be "frozen", as they no longer take in new information, process no thoughts, record no memories, feel nothing, and create no new connections.
Those affected by Nita's invepathy during the Psychic Wars were called zombies, or statues.
Psionic and mental powers and affects no longer affect that mind, unless it can overpower it. Powerful enough invepathy can even regress the target mind through its development- removing memories and mental connections. Of course, this is all incredibly painful to non-inversics, but their mind can't even process pain under the affects of invepathy.
Invepathy can also cause instant death by straight up ceasing all mental operations. To summarize (but not limited to):
- Brain Drain
- Capability Suppression
- Death Inducement
- Intelligence Reduction
- Memory Destruction/Erasure
- Mental Age Reversal
- Mental Breakdown
- Mental Shield Erasure
- Mental/Psionic Stagnation
- Mental Growth Negation
- Neurocognitive Deficit
- Pain Inducement
- Psychic Torture
- Sensory Deprivation/Removal
- Stupidity Inducement
- Telepathy Negation
- Thought Inhibition
Advanced Development
So, you're now pretty skilled with invekinesis and invepathy. You've had some fun, possibly even killed a person or two. What now? Well, now we can get to the good stuff. From this point on, there are no neat titles for things, and now any diversification in your powers will start to appear.
Even at this stage, there are a lot of things which are still included in the Inversic Power Pack. Quite a lot, actually. They're all listed here:
- Anti-Psychic Presence
- Astral Cancellation
- Astral Energy Destruction/Removal
- Bond Destruction
- Consciousness Grounding
- Control Negation
- Death Inducement
- Decomposition Manipulation
- Destruction
- Effect Reversal
- Emotion Energy Destruction/Removal
- Emotion Locking
- Emotion Negation
- Emotion Removal
- Force-Field Penetration
- Intangibility Cancellation
- Inversic Energy Manipulation - An energy that acts in every way like psychic energy, but annihilates with normal psychic energy. Inversic energy is like a poison to psionics and nonpsychics alike.
- Invisibility Cancellation
- Life-Force Destruction/Removal
- Panmnesia
- Panmnesia Negation
- Psionic Attack Cancellation
- Psionic Deactivation
- Psychic Energy Destruction/Removal
- Psionic Blindness Inducement - Inversics can "blind" those with Divination, Extrasensory Perception, Precognition, Prescience , Psychic Navigation, Psychometry, Retrocognition, and Awareness, Sense and Perception Abilities, rending
- Psionic Drain
- Psionic Energy Conversion
- Psionic Growth Negation
- Psionic Invulnerability Negation
- Psionic Negation Field
- Psionic Power Destruction
- Psionic Power Erasure
- Psychic Blindspot
- Psychic Construct Destruction
- Psychic Feedback
- Reflex Dampening
- Reincarnation Denial
- Resurrection Negation
- Severing
- Soul Destruction/Removal
- Spiritual Force Destruction/Removal
- Stagnation
- Telekinetic Force Destruction/Removal
- Teleportation Negation
- Variable Inversion
- Variable Collapse
- Will Theft
- Psionic Immutability/Psionic Immutability Inducement
- Absolute Empathic Shield
- Absolute Psychic Shadow
- Absolute Psychic Shield
- Astral, Emotional, Psychic, and Telekinetic Energy Negation
- Illusion Awareness
- Oneiric Immunity
- Panmnesia
- Paranormal Immunity
- Possession Immunity
- Pre/Retrocognitive Immunity
- Soul Anchoring
- Telekinesis Immunity/Negation
- Telepathic Negation/Immunity
- Teleportation Negation/Immunity
If you become a really powerful inversic, you'll gain access to incredibly frightening powers (but not limited to):
- Distortion Manipulation
- Immortality Negation
- Irreversible Destruction
- Nonexistence
- Phenomenon Elimination
- Transcendent Negation

There are two ways to greet the announcement from SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. that it has hired one of the world's top corruption fix-it specialists as its chief compliance officer.
The good news is that Andreas Pohlmann led a successful clean-up effort at Siemens AG after the German-based industrial giant was embroiled in a nasty global bribery scandal in the 2000s. He's a big hire by new SNC chief executive Robert Card and will oversee the introduction of "the type of world-class compliance system that he helped install at Siemens," Mr. Card said.Report Typo/Error

Aerial photo of Syrian reactor (archives)
VIDEO - A warning to Syria: US Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Gregory Schulte says Syria has three months – until the United Nations nuclear watchdog's next governors' meeting in March – to start cooperating on its nuclear program, or it will be punished. A failure to do so, he warns, will lead to "punishment measures".

In an interview published Saturday with the London-based Arabic-language al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper, Schulte said that "the Damascus authorities must decide whether they wish to follow in Iran's footsteps or cooperate."
Schulte also noted that North Korea has neither denied nor confirmed its involvement in the construction of the Syrian nuclear reactor allegedly bombed by Israel.
China, Russia object to 'political interference' in agency's aid program for civilian nuclear energy development, while US, France, Canada and the EU say Syria's bid for UN aid in planning nuclear power plant while it is being probed over proliferation concerns 'inappropriate'
"I hope the Syrians reach the conclusion that they should cooperate, for the sake of their own interests," he said.
According to Schulte, if Damascus failed to cooperate "this would lead to a negative response, and serious questions would be raised".
Schulte refused to discuss the sanctions which would be imposed on Syria if it continued its policy, saying that the IAEA's goal at this time is to convince Damascus to cooperate.
"No one is talking about sanctions today. The only thing we are talking about is a probe. The international agency is giving the Syrians an opportunity to cooperate, and they have an extension until the next meeting to cooperate."
He added that this was not an official extension, but a date on which the nuclear watchdog would reexamine the Syrian nuclear issue, after the matter was discussed in the council's latest meeting two weeks ago.
Despite his reservations, Schulte added that "Syria is engaging in a tactic used by Iran in recent years – the failure to cooperate. This is not the road we want Syria to take. We hope Syria cooperates fully with the agency in regards to what happened in the Syrian desert. If they fail to cooperate, there will be consequences."

Only two weeks ago, the IAEA decided to provide Syria with technical support as part of its efforts to develop a nuclear reactor for peaceful purposes. This decision was a serious blow to the United States and Israel, who have been working in the past year to thwart this move, claiming Damascus is trying to develop nuclear weapons.
The UN nuclear watchdog has been probing Syria since May, following American intelligence reports which stated that Damascus was close to completing the Pyongyang-supervised construction of a nuclear reactor for the production of plutonium, at the site bombed by Israel.
According to reports published last month, IAEA inspectors discovered uranium traces at the secret site attacked by Israel in September 2007. Syria denied claims that it had tried to attain nuclear energy for military purposes, violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty it had signed.

The British No 1 took the first set in 20 minutes with breaks in both the second and sixth games and then broke Voinea twice more in the second to win in less than 44 minutes.
Throughout Henman hit the ball with authority, but the most impressive thing was his serving. Last week, despite reaching the final of the European Community Championship in Antwerp, his service below par.
Today 67 per cent of his first serves were successful and Voinea, whose head went down very early against his opponent's crisp hitting, had no answer.
Henman now faces the Czech Petr Korda in the second round and should be confident of another success, having beaten Korda in the Australian Open 13 months ago. Henman, No 14 in the world, is now looking for a place in the top 10.
The defending champion, Goran Ivanisevic, relied on his powerful serve to beat Cedric Pioline 7-6, 7-6 and reach the quarter-finals . Ivanisevic served 22 aces as he took an hour and 37 minutes to overcome the unseeded Frenchman, ranked 27th in the world. Ivanisevic is seeking his second title of the year after winning the Croatian Indoors in Zagreb earlier this month.
The world No 5 seemed fully fit after pulling out of last week's Antwerp tournament with shoulder tendinitis.
Sergi Bruguera and Daniel Vacek also earned quarter-final places. Vacek, who defeated Bohdan Ulihrach 7-6, 6-3, now meets Ivanisevic. Bruguera advanced with a convincing 6-4, 6-0 victory against his fellow Spaniard Javier Sanchez

"BODY WORLDS Vital:" Ticket
Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall Marketplace • Boston, MA
December 2-19 and January 6-17
What you get
- Choice of One or Two Tickets
- See the Inner Workings of Real Human Bodies!
Making its Boston debut in the iconic Quincy Market in Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS Vital brings viewers up close to the human body in all its different forms. Prepare to have your mind blown between December 2 and 19, or between January 6 and 17.
As the original anatomical explorations of their kind, BODY WORLDS exhibitions offer an amazing view into the workings of the body via real bodies that have been willed by donors for the express purpose of serving BODY WORLDS' mission to educate the public about health and anatomy. In the BODY WORLDS Vital exhibit, you'll be inches from real human specimens showcasing how both healthy function next to those that have succumbed to a host of illnesses and medical conditions -- for example, you can see a normal, healthy lung next to that of a smoker.
Choose from the following offers:
• $13 ($23 value) for one ticket
• $22 ($45 value) for two tickets
BODY WORLDS Vital's Website
the man behind the bodies
These extraordinary exhibits wouldn't be possible without physician and anatomist Gunther von Hagens' invention of plastination -- a ground-breaking process of preventing decomposition of the body after it is deceased -- and, of course, the many forward-thinking donors who gave their bodies to help educate the public about human health. Stripped of their skin, each body represents a different "interior face" through position, size, shape, and structure of skeleton, muscles, nerves, and organs.

Beer Steamed Mussels
May 21st, 2008
Steamed shellfish are one of my favorite ways to entertain guests. It is a true delicacy that any home cook can easily prepare and execute, and do so at a very reasonable price.
To celebrate the completion of our gardening project, we made some steamed mussels last night. The beer drinker that I am, I prefer my mussels steamed in beer over the more traditional mussels in white wine broth. Steamed clams are a different story entirely, but I will save that for another post. Continue Reading »
The Ultimate Shrimp Cocktail Recipe

Shrimp Cocktail Recipe
Last modified 7/27/08
Shrimp Cocktail is an appetizer that is simple to make but highly rewarding. Yet there are some gawd awful shrimp cocktails out there. Take for example the prepared ones you see at the grocery store in the seafood isle. Shrimp neatly arranged in a perfect ring, but tasteless, rubbery, overcooked, and the sauce is artificially red and bland at best. Only if looks could kill. Then there is the frozen shrimp at the Chinese buffet...piled high on your plate you think that it's going to be better than the greasy beef broccoli but, that too, turns out to be a major sodium bomb. I wanted to resurrect this tasty grub, because when done right it is definitely something special.
How to Devein Shrimp

How to Devein Shrimp
Keep in mind that you can eat shrimp veined or deveined. Even better yet you can have your local fish monger devein them for you.
Make an incision along the backside of the shrimp using either a pair of scissors or a serrated knife. Just follow the intestinal track the length of the shrimp (yes, it is what you think it is). Remove the 'vein' and rinse shrimp under cold water leaving shells intact. That's it!

Salmon and Leek Pot Pie Recipe
Recipe last modified 1/24/08
To say that Sunday was a disappointing day at my house would be, at best, an understatement. In this household there lives a Packer fan and a Chargers fan, who were so desperately hoping for a Packers vs. Chargers Super Bowl. At the very least we were hoping that one of us would end the season with a Super Bowl showing, and if not that, then at least an admiral effort...we got neither. Football fans that normally would watch a Super Bowl regardless of participants we have decided that this year we will hit the slopes and do some snowboarding instead. What can I say? We have zero desire to watch Tom Brady or Eli Manning, besides I can't see it being that great of a game, although you never know. Call us sore losers - I don't care! Despite our disappointment, I will be sure to share some great party appetizer recipes over the next week and a half to help you prepare for your Super Bowl get-together.
Grilled Red Snapper with Avocado Sauce
January 28th, 2006
I like to eat this over brown rice.
the formula
2 red snapper fillets (tilapia is a great substitute)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon prepared wasabi
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon of minced parsley
1 ripe Haas avocado peeled and diced
the procedure
1. Place fillets and wine in a shallow dish and marinate for an hour.
2. Remove the fillets, set aside wine.
3. Pat dry the fillets with paper towel and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle each side with paprika.
4. Grill (or broil) 4~5 minutes or until cooked through.
5. In medium skillet sauté onion in the remaining butter until tender.
6. Whisk in the flour and seasoned salt.
7. Add the wine slowly and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream and wasabi.
The sauce should have a gravy-like consistency. If necessary adjust sauce
consistency by adding small amounts of water.
9. Return the skillet to low heat and warm sauce until heated through, add
the lemon juice.
10. Spoon the sauce over the fillets and sprinkle with parsley and avocado.

If in season, throw in some diced tomatoes at step 5. The heat of the pasta and sauce should be enough to warm it through. The tomatoes will add nice color and bring more flavor to the party.

Big changes are underway here. First of all, our first child is now 18 months, and we're expecting another boy in September. My wife just graduated college. I became SharePoint certified around the beginning of this year and have been working on several projects using that technology.
First is the subversion viewer that I've already posted about. Then there's an Exchange calendar viewer that I'm releasing as open source. I also have another project in incubation that I may discuss later. However, this is probably the last time I will mention those projects here. I have rebuilt paradoxlost.com and will be doing most of my "professional" posting there. Here I will post personal things, any writing that I do, and anything game related.
My Decal projects are currently suspended while I decide what i want to do with them. They haven't been rewarding for some time, but I don't want to completely abandon them. New code is randomly thrown into Decal, but nothing is polarizing the team to get a new release out. Our primary server being down doesn't help any either. Perhaps Turbine's recent acquisition by Warner Interactive will breath some life into AC. If Decal picks up again, I will pick up my plugins again as well.

Ray Farmer made his first roster move as general manager of the Browns, signing defensive back Royce Adams, a South Euclid native.
The team announced the move this evening.
"A Dream come true to have the opportunity to play for my home town!" Adams wrote on Twitter. "Truly a blessing."
The New York Jets signed Adams as an undrafted free agent from Purdue University in 2012, when new Browns coach Mike Pettine served as the Jets' defensive coordinator. Adams spent the 2012 season on injured reserve with a knee injury. He also spent training camp with the Jets last summer.
The 5-foot-10, 187-pound Adams spent his first three seasons at Purdue playing cornerback before converting to wide receiver for his senior year. In 2011, Adams played for the Arena Football League's Pittsburgh Power before making a leap to the NFL the following year.
Adams transferred to St. Edward High School as a senior from Glenville High School.

In comparison to many others, Australia is a country that gets so much right in the workplace: a high minimum wage, an emphasis on safety, and a "fair go" culture. But one specific group of workers has not been invited to the party.
Australia currently has an arrangement with 29 countries allowing people between the ages of 18 and 30 to come to Australia for a year. Last year, a record number of working holiday visas were issued.
A few weeks ago, I realised I was seven months into a one year Australian visa and was not ready to head back to the UK just yet. Fear not! I thought. If you're willing to do 88 days worth of rural work, then the department for immigration and citizenship (DIAC) will, in most cases, add 12 months to your working holiday visa.
I left my job in Sydney and was put in contact with an organic farmer in Queensland. She has been very kind, and the work is not too strenuous. It is nice to be outside, working with animals in a tropical climate. After this stint, my host will sign the form that I need to present to DIAC, and provide her Australian business number. Done.
Seems straightforward, so what is the problem? Well, not everyone will be as lucky as I have been. If the employer decides after 88 days that they are unwilling to sign the worker's form or they treat them unfairly, there is not much recourse.
Rural workers rarely get a contract, and rules compelling employers to pay them a minimum wage or adopt any kind of safety policies in the workplace can be easily ignored, despite it being illegal to do so. Some find they end up being paid considerably below what they should be. Workers in fruit picking roles are often paid per volume of fruit picked, which seldom amounts to an acceptable salary, despite the fair work ombudsman stating that this should not be the case.
As such, a race to the bottom has been created. Employers know that foreign workers can be hired for next to nothing, and adjust what they are willing to pay accordingly. Not only is this unfair, but it also means that local people wanting to fill low skilled jobs will find themselves unknowingly undercut by backpackers.
At this point, I run the risk of you yelling at your computer screen: "Stop moaning, if you don't like it, you can always leave the country!" However, in practical terms, over 38,000 temporary visa workers complete rural work each year. Taking these out of circulation would cost the economies of rural areas an immeasurable amount of labour, not to mention subsequent money spent by backpackers locally.
Another poorly conceived part of the arrangement is the scope of the work that backpackers are permitted to undertake. As many are expected to be almost volunteers and do this willingly, then why not harness that spirit of altruism to benefit areas that really need it? If, for example, assisting in remote schools as a care volunteer was permitted as a choice, then you would have an endless stream of foreigners keen on the possibility of volunteering and living in the outback.
I'm grateful for the right to stay an extra 12 months in Australia, and am glad to be able to access a working holiday visa. Nonetheless, this is a practice that requires better regulation to safeguard workers and to ensure employers, and Australia, gets the most out of backpacker employees.
A standard contract and notification to DIAC when work commences and when it is due to complete would guarantee the rights of both parties. Weekly timesheets completed by workers, verified by employers and forwarded to DIAC would safeguard against discrepancies and subsequent disputes. In the interests of fairness, payment of minimum wage to employees on working holiday visas should be better enforced.
Take note Tony Abbott and the new Coalition government: migrants are important to rural Australia. We can really make a difference to businesses and local communities. Is it not fair that we get the same deal as everyone else?

What happends when you cross on Finnicks bad side!

In early 1994 I bought a Norinco AK47 for $400, just before the AWB was passed. Took it to a gun show and before I got 20 feet in the door I had 3-4 bidders on it. I left with $1725.

So, even though I don't like the AK platform (no offense to those of you who do), I bought what I believe to be the last two AK's in the Kalamazoo area today. One was an entry level bare bones model, the other a nice Hi Cap PAP model.
Neither will get fired, I'm just gong to wait this whole scare thing out a bit, and turn around and sell em both for a profit. Bought plenty of mags as well-- they'll probably be more profitable if the twit out in Kalifornia gets her way.
See, there's those who say their beer is half full. Those who say their beer is half empty.
I say there's room now for more beer.

there's no such thing as an assault rifle..
and to be clear pscipio3, did you buy 2 AK-47s.. or did you buy the semi-auto versions?
Ummmm ok......I am afraid the English Language Dictionary may disagree.there's no such thing as an assault rifle..As far as I know there is not a specific designation for a semi auto AK-47, as compared to the M4/AR-15 categories, they all fall under the same moniker. Semi auto versions of specific AK type rifles even keep their select fire brothers model designations i.e. the AMD-65. Select fire or semi only still an AMD-65.An assault rifle is a select-fire (either fully automatic or burst capable) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. It is not to be confused with assault weapons.[1] Assault rifles are the standard service rifles in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge.
To the OP congrats on the purchases. When all the panic dies down and the sky does not fall completely, enjoy shooting the rifles.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
I ain't touching the grammar lesson. I bought two rifles that look damn near exactly like the ones the Ruskies have been using for decades.
If that clears up the confusion.
Except if it passes, it will not be legal to sell....
Play your cards right and if there is ban, sell one with three mags and demand alone should drive up the price. My experience is that there isnt much profit in guns unless your running a penny auction where each bid to drive the price up $0.01 cost's you $1.00. Insane profits there.

Afford? Brother-- do you have a credit card? If so, float that 'loan' for a couple months then pay it back and keep the extra when you sell it for 3x the value.
If you can't afford the gun, or don't want it on your credit card, buy up every high cap mag you can find. Even if you don't own the gun it goes to. I bought 25 different mags from Brownells and Gander. I don't even own an AK-74 or a Ruger Mini 14-- but I got the mags.
My AK-47 30 round mags I just bought for $36 will be $100 within four months. Actually, I hope I have to eat my words and the mags are worth exactly $36 in four months. Because that means the ban didn't pass.
But, alas, I don't have enough confidence in the intellect of my fellow American to believe that.

Going to Battle Exhausted Leaves One Drained...Mature
Amarian felt so drained… so exhausted. His mother just held him firmly –didn't ask anything, just waited for him. He was barely aware that the two women left and his father was outside as well at that point.
"You want me to take you to the hospital, son? You think you'll be alright?"
He nodded feebly, "Let's… just eat… see how I feel afterwards. I'm just… tired…"
His parents gave each other a look but took him back inside. They order their meal and assured the waitress not to worry about their son. While they were waiting, his eyelids crept towards each other. His mom wiped his face with a wet napkin. He didn't protest. His eyes would jerk wide open again ~ he wondered why because he wanted to rest within the impending darkness. Yet something, rather some one implored him to stay awake –some more intriguing angle he's never thought of, never tried to really, [wanted him to consider something...] about his future. He faintly wondered who and why he even listened to that voice. Where was it coming from? It didn't matter –he soon heard another voice and realized it was his father.
"… … … hospital?" concerned threatening tone.
"?! No! No. Just…I'll be fine… food… Oh. Yeah… there it is." He fumbled for a bit but managed to take a few bites of his rice pilaf. Hmm. Was this how the earth tasted? He giggles to himself. Alertness struck him like a bolt of lightning ~color began seeping back onto his epidermis [ha!] and he ate with his usual gusto. It was like nothing happened. His parents gazed at each other, confused,
"Not that I'm not glad you're better, but what just happened?" mom questioned.
He laughs exuberantly, "You're hilarious! What do you mean?"
"You were quite sick. What happened?" his father repeated.
Without guile, "Everything's fine dad. Nothing happened.
They were perplexed ~ he spoke as though he believed what he was saying. It didn't seem like a cruel joke ~ only that he simply forgot what transpired a short while ago.
Mom pressed, "How are you feeling?"
He stops eating, finally understanding how concerned they were. He puts down his silverware, looks them in the eyes –he hopes in a reassuring way –and says, "I'm fine, really. Stop worrying ~ your food is getting cold." He starts eating again.
Mom narrows eyes suspiciously. Only somewhat jokingly, "Who are you and what have you done with my son?"
The father thought that was a bit odd to ask, so in defense, "Whoa ~if he says he's fine, he's fine." He glances at his son but Amarian was eating again, disregarding them both.
"You can ignore these signs all you want, but I won't. That wasn't… normal."
The father opens his mouth but thought better of it. First of all, she spends more time with him so she would know. Second, he knew, rather should know, better than to question a mother's judgment [especially] if the first condition was true, leading up to the third point: a woman's intuition is rarely wrong. Maybe his son was right that all he needed was sustenance… but he didn't know what was ailing his son to begin with... he could possibly feel better after eating something but to be instantly 'cured' like that on top of 'forgetting' how sick he was seemed a bit dubious to him now as well. But he wasn't sure what he could ask that wouldn't upset his wife or his son.
"What?! Of course I'm your son, mom! Or have you forgotten?" His hazel eyes flashed.
"?! [Where's that light source coming from? Wait, what color are his eyes, again?] Even I know you don't speak like that. Who the hell are you?" His father asked with unhidden alarm.
Expressionless face, monotonous tone, "You know who I am. Your food is getting cold."
Dad looks helplessly at his wife who gazed back at him in distress. What could they do to help him? They had no idea what was wrong with him or how long that went on. His eyes started closing again but they would open suddenly. He seemed very frustrated every time this occurred… like something was keeping him here… so their son must be trapped… 'there'? Where's there?
Soon he finished eating and looked expectantly at his parents who still haven't even touched their meals.
"I'll wait."
"…Thanks." Dad mumbles an auto response. Slowly their son's face drains of color and he starts breaking out in sweat. His mother goes back to wiping his face with another wet napkin again. The father begins eating because that's all he could do. … He motions for his wife to do the same. His son-not-his-son was just sitting there –still and well mannered. Granted, becoming ill right before their very eyes was most likely a part of that reasoning but still that was uncharacteristic for him. While mom and dad ate, he did indeed wait but was visibly becoming sicker with each passing moment. He was angry he was trapped in this world, this vessel. Both minds were closed to him –the waking mind and the dreaming mind. He could traverse through the subconscious mind but he wouldn't have a way of leaving. He needed the unconscious mind but Amarian was staying awake ~ wouldn't keep his eyes closed no matter how ill he was becoming. He was WEAK but something prevented, PREVENTED him from taking over. He never wanted to speak as himself in the physical world but he had no choice since the teen's subconscious mind was the only venue that was available to him. He would have to locate a new vessel soon since this one was questioning him as well –questions so many questions ALWAYS questions!! He was enraged. He vowed revenge on those who dared hindered his progression. Since keeping Amarian ill proved futile, he removed his toxins again.
Amarian's parents were relieved at the return of health but were still concerned [understatement] about his mental state… especially since they did not know what in the world possessed him.
"You haven't answered our question!" The father demanded.
"You had many."
Dad conceded, "Ok, well the most important one: Who are you? What are you doing with our son?"
"Two questions in one are still two questions. Who are you that I should tell my name?"
"[The mother carefully speaks] You're right. You're not important enough for me to know your name. What did he know that you needed?"
"… … …Nothing. He is merely a vessel."
"Then you should leave."
"Your insolence is noted."
"You've done nothing to earn my respect."
"I'm not one to trifle with." The voice was strong, threatening and not Amarian's. She was terrified but kept her face impassive. What kept her going was his anger –he could possibly make a mistake and she would have to take advantage of that. … But there would be no room for error on her part.
"Yet you're not omnipotent."
"…Heh, heh… No, because this physical shell is not powerful either. I cannot do what my minions cannot do."
She nearly reacts, instead responds quietly, "Whatever the case, He's of no use to you now…"
"I do what I desire whenever and however I please."
It was a standoff. The atmosphere at the restaurant was thick and charged. The dad had no inkling what just occurred but he was elated that she handled everything. He would remain silent and ask her later. The only thing he was certain of during that brief exchange was that this dangerous creature was somehow trapped in his son's body and that they would just have to wait ~ it seemed that she had that method of gathering information ~making him answer implied questions not direct questions… it doesn't answer directly because it's a deceiver… Something else became clear to him as well… He remembered that his son reacted strongly at the time he saw the two women. He hadn't made that connection at the time –he hadn't needed to, of course. The one told him with such confidence that the college she attends was perfect for him. What wasn't evident was whether she cursed him or not…'Don't be silly!' he admonishes himself silently. 'He was unwell before they arrived at the restaurant. She could have simply known about the monster within his son. After all, the other woman looked frightened when she looked in their direction. Terrified. They must have seen the monster. He did faint after that so maybe one of them [the fearless one] did keep the monster trapped in his son.'
Continues thinking, 'That monster did say that Amarian is a vessel so he could most likely use others as vessels…' If so, he was both relieved and upset he'd be trapped in his son for an indefinite amount of time. But for the time being all they could do was deal with the deceiver… staying silent would be the best way to not reveal any weakness. They don't have to interact with it –only keep watch on it…although they might not even have to do that. It seemed preoccupied and angry [read helpless] enough to stay put on its own. He hoped that whatever or whomever trapped it would release it soon. He just wanted his son back.
Miwa was at what appeared to be the outside of the mansion. She imagined she could physically feel time slipping from her and silently cursed her imagination for being quite keen. She had no clue where she could begin searching for Dark Brown Hair. Well… she had a hunch about the room but not its precise location ~ at any rate she charged ahead and headed towards a staircase.
"Bottom's up!" she thought cheerfully. And why not? If she built her own mansion she'd store all her valuables underground as well...
The voice startled her. It filled her very core with terror. She could feel its pure malice cutting physically through her. But she pushed on. She had to. She hurried down the stairs and down a dark hallway. She was hyper aware of her surroundings ~she had to be ~ she had no flashlight yet the hallway was dimly illumined… by what? Fairies? No electrical wirings down here. Up there somewhat kept with the times but down here was all the trappings of imprisonment… or torture… or both –doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. She thought she heard something. She paused and focused her attention on it. Sounded like crying and feeble pleas for help. She rushed towards the sound and came upon a locked room. The door had a grated bar window –it seemed rusty. Movement. That teenager appeared at the door. He looked like death. She tried kicking the edges of the door [where the 'knob' would be if there was one] it gave a little. Hmmm…
"Stand back! No time for keys, I'll break you free!" She rhymed at him for no other reason than it just seemed appropriate. She visualized its pressure points and kicked at those with all her might. It loosened and finally burst inwards.
"How long were you there?"
"I don't know…"
"That's ok. We have to find someone and leave together."
She shrugs.
"Well…if that person is looking for secrets, I know which room to go to… but I don't know that she or he will already be there or not."
"You don't look like you're fit enough to go exploring. Dark Brown Hair will make it there, we'll have to… avoid the woman…"
"?! What woman?"
"I don't know. I just saw her in my dream-nightmare so I assumed she was an underling of Feral Eyes."
"Underling? Feral Eyes…?" He's only heard voices ~ well… maybe he's heard one at least… but the more he tried thinking about it, the more confused he became. He's never before seen anyone or thing but he felt that she wasn't entirely off base.
"LEAVE!" She recoiled but pushed on.
"You're bleeding!"
"Tis only a flesh wound ~we have to go!"
"Why is it affecting only you?"
"Am I one too?"
"… …Oh crap! I hope it's just us three I have to worry about!"
He looks at her confused but doesn't press. Instead, he continues to lead her to the room. She kept searching her surroundings, for what, [Amarian] he didn't know. But they make it to the room. He leans against the wall, exhausted.
"You okay?"
"Y-yeah… just drained. I don't hear anything –is it still talking to you?"
"Thankfully no, but… I don't know anything about this… body less voice…"
She inspects the room. He tries to think again about when, if he's ever, heard a voice but couldn't remember… he thought it was weird when he became obsessed with wanting to [re]obtain the mansion and… there must have been a 'voice' then, right? But he hadn't heard anything other than his own thoughts… his own, but it wasn't really his…
He was startled by a crashing noise –she was collapsed on the floor. He panicked and tried gently shaking her awake. She grimaced.
"I'm… ok… keep an eye on the door… please…"
He nods and helps her to a chair and then takes sentry position by the door.

Don't get too many of those to the pound
God bless Brazilian footballers. They can't even score own goals without using more technique and panache than we could ever dream of. Take Cicinho of Roma, for instance. Here he is scoring a 91st minute equaliser for Bologna at the weekend. An outstanding diving header to give his keeper no chance.

I spoke with Andrew Fryer yesterday via e-mail when I noticed he was also covering some of the same information we're looking at here on the Standard Reports in SQL Server. I think that's great – I had been wondering if there were many people using these reports. From what I've been learning, more and more of you are in fact using them.
So I have a question – are you using the standard reports? And, are you making or using any of the custom versions as well?

Packers' front office gets high praise
The front office of the Green Bay Packers is ranked third-best in the NFL by Jason La Canfora, who covers the league for CBS Sports.
He puts the Super Bowl champion Ravens in the top slot, followed by the Patriots.
"Ted Thompson is so low key and so patient that you sometimes forget he's even there, which is what he loves," La Canfora writes. "But man, what a tremendous front office when you can lose a John Schneider - the best young GM in the game - to Seattle and just keep on winning."
La Canfora contends "this front office doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves."
The 11 NFL front offices that La Canfora says "get it" are: 1. Ravens; 2. Patriots; 3. Packers; 4. Giants; 5. Seahawks; 6. 49ers; 7. Steelers; 8. Falcons; 9. Saints; 10. Texans and 11. Broncos.
Blue skies?
What Vander Blue has working for him is his athleticism and ability to guard multiple positions.
What Vander Blue has working against him is his jump shot.
But both Chad Ford and Fran Fraschilla of ESPN said Wednesday that the former Marquette guard has a good chance of being taken in the second round when NBA teams pick their 60 players during the draft June 27.
"I think he is one of the best athletes in the draft," said Ford, referring to Blue. "I always thought he had potential back to when he was with Team USA U-18. You saw it there. I think he blossomed this year. That started in Maui and culminated in a great run for him and Marquette in the tournament.
"To me he is an NBA player because he has NBA athletic ability and he can guard multiple positions," Ford said. "That's what he will hang his hat on at the next level. As an offensive player, he is still a work in progress, though we have seen a lot of improvement. I was really surprised he was not on the original combine list. I thought he deserved to be there. I was really happy when the NBA came back and added him as one of the three players that they decided to bring in. Could he have used another year at Marquette? Of course. Especially offensively, he still has a lot to work on and get consistency on that jump shot and continuing to improve his handle.
"As far as whether I think he will get drafted this year - I actually think he will," Ford said. "I think he is one of the best 60 players in the draft and I think he is a guy who could stick in the league."
Fraschilla said he has talked to NBA teams who have said they are struggling to find 45 players they would draft.
"Vander is one of those guys with the athleticism of an NBA guard," Fraschilla said. "He is one of about 30 guys who I think can make a team or end up in France. His range, I think, is there. If you told me next November he stuck with the Utah Jazz, it would not shock me at all. He's been in a work culture . . . with Buzz Williams. So I would hope he has matured over the three years he has been there.
"The biggest concern I have with Vander, quite frankly, and you have seen it for three years, he's just got to make an open shot. But as far as athleticism, ability to get to the rim - I'm sure the work ethic at Marquette has rubbed off on him. (He) easily could be drafted in the second round, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he makes a team."
Regime change
Bears offensive lineman Gabe Carimi, the former Wisconsin star, missed the first two days of organized team activities at Halas Hall.
His absence at the voluntary OTAs raised some eyebrows because Carimi might not only be in jeopardy of losing his starting spot, but according to the Chicago Tribune, he might be fighting for a roster spot.
Coming into last season, Carimi was the team's starting right tackle.
According to the Tribune, Carimi has spent the off-season in Arizona training in a program designed by former NFL player LeCharles Bentley.
The Bears are installing a new offense under coach Marc Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer. The offensive line is in for a major overhaul.
Mixing traditions
Pittsburgh and Syracuse have moved out of the Big East Conference, but they want to bring one of its traditions to their new conference, the ACC.
Pittsburgh basketball coach Jamie Dixon said that, at a meeting of ACC coaches on Tuesday, the site of the ACC men's tournament was discussed. Dixon and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim pitched the idea of moving the ACC tournament to Madison Square Garden. The ACC tournament is often held in Greensboro, N.C., home of the league office.
"Obviously, coach Boeheim and I are excited about New York, but I also know that Greensboro has a strong, strong presence here at these meetings," Dixon told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I think (Madison Square Garden) would be the best thing for the conference. I hope that's the way they're headed, but I don't know that it is."

Anyways, back to my point. I don't see a huge difference between drinking and driving, and drinking and carrying. If you're under .08%, then you're not legally intoxicated. We trust people to stay below the legal limit when they drive, why can't we trust them to do the same thing when they carry?
Like I said before, I don't believe in carrying and drinking, but I think that's a personal choice as long as they stay below a legal limit. I don't like the government babysitting every decision I make. I don't feel 1 beer with dinner is going to make someone carrying turn into a crazed gunman.
Regardless of how I feel, I think we have so many more important issues to address before we tackle drinking and carrying.

On Monday, February 15th Adam was busy once again singing to a small gathering of his biggest fans at the IHeartRadio concert, sponsored by Clear Channel radio and PC Richards and Sons. To start off the night, Adam was oh-so-close to finishing his first take of Whataya Want From Me but he had to stop the show in order to ask a lady to stop talking on the phone!! "Really?" was Adams initial reaction. Yes Adam, really.
Once that distraction was taken care of, he put his heart and soul into these 5 beautiful songs. Granted, he could sing me the phone book acoustically and it would melt my heart, but still. It is such a rush to just be able to listen to that pure, beautiful voice. I will warn you ahead of time, in some of the videos it is hard to hear him over the band. He makes up for it though because there are other times when he is just talking with the crowd and he will have you laughing out loud. He has such a way with his audience, sometimes funny and sometimes flirty!! It just makes you want to be in his audience for every single show that he does!!… One can always dream…ENJOY!!

Whataya Want From Me 1st try (Girl in the audience talking on the phone distracted Adam)

Albert Étienne Jean Baptiste Terrien de Lacouperie
|Albert Étienne Jean Baptiste Terrien de Lacouperie
|23 November 1844[1]
Ingouville, Le Havre, Normandy, France
|11 October 1894[2]
Fulham, London, England[2]
|Oriental studies, specialising in philology
Albert Étienne Jean Baptiste Terrien de Lacouperie (23 November 1844 in Ingouville, Le Havre – 11 October 1894 in London)[1][2] was a French orientalist, specialising in comparative philology. He published a number of books on early Asian and Middle-Eastern languages, initially in French and then in English.
Terrien died in London at his residence, 136 Bishop's Road, Fulham, leaving a widow.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Biographical detail on Terrien is scant, some notices drawing on Royal Asiatic Society records and prefaces. He is sometimes noted as born in 1845, although his date of death is firmly established.[3][4]
He was born in Normandy, a descendant of the Cornish family of Terrien, which emigrated to France in the 17th century during the civil war,[clarification needed] and acquired the property of La Couperie in Normandy. Some bibliographies append "Baron" to his name.[5] His father was a merchant, and he received a business education.
In early life he settled at Hong Kong, where he soon turned his attention from commerce to the study of oriental languages, and he acquired an especially intimate knowledge of the Chinese language. In 1867, he published a philological work, Du Langage, Essai sur la Nature et l'Étude des Mots et des Langues (Paris, 8 volumes), which attracted considerable attention. Soon after, his attention was attracted by the progress made in deciphering Babylonian inscriptions, and by the resemblance between the Chinese characters and the early Akkadian hieroglyphics.
The comparative philology of the two languages occupied most of his later life, and he was able to show an early affinity between them. In 1879, he went to London, was elected a fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society, and began to write works in English. In 1884, he became professor of comparative philology, as applied to the languages of South-Eastern Asia, at University College, London.
In the 1880s, he was also employed on several short-term contracts to work on the East-Asian coin collection at the British Museum.[6] In 1892, he published his Catalogue of Chinese Coins from the VIIth Century BC to AS 621 including the Series in the British Museum, for which the Académie des Inscriptions, France, awarded him the Stanislas Julien Prize, worth 1,500 French francs, "for the best work relating to China".[7][8]
His last years were largely occupied by a study of the I Ching, or Book of Changes. Its meaning had long proved a puzzle both to native and to foreign scholars. Terrien demonstrated that the basis of the work consisted of fragmentary notes, chiefly lexical in character, and noticed that they bore a close resemblance to the syllabaries of Chaldaea. In 1892, he published the first part of an explanatory treatise The Oldest Book of the Chinese (London, 8 volumes), in which he stated his theory of the nature of the I Ching, and gave translations of passages from it. The treatise, however, was not completed before his death.
In recognition of his services to oriental study he received a Doctor of Letters degree from the University of Leuven. He also enjoyed for a time a small pension from the French government, and after that had been withdrawn an unsuccessful attempt was made by his friends to obtain him an equivalent from the English ministry. He was twice awarded the prix Stanislas Julien by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres for his services to oriental philology.
Evaluations of Terrien's theories[edit]
Terrien's translations and theories that the origins of Chinese civilisation lay in Mesopotamia impressed the public but were criticised or dismissed by sinologists then and in following years. James Legge, whose translations of the Chinese Classics appeared at the same time as Terrien's and are still considered standard, questioned Terrien's sinological competence. Legge's review of Terrien's translation of the I Ching charged that only "hasty ignorance" could have led to the mistakes, which included failing to consult the basic reference, the Kangxi Dictionary. Another reviewer at the time labelled Terrien a "specious wonder-monger." But the final decline of Terrien's comparativist theories of the origins of Chinese civilisation was marked by the attacks of University of Leiden sinologist, Gustav Schlegel. Schlegel and following Orientalists insisted on the independent origin and growth of Chinese civilisation. In particular, these scholars pointed out that monosyllabic Chinese characters could not be equated to polysyllabic Chaldean words; that in any case, Assyriological knowledge was "dangerously uncertain" and too unreliable to make such claims; and that it had not even been established that Babylonian civilization was earlier than Chinese.[9]
Terrien's theory on the Babylonion origins of the sixty year ganzhi cyclical calendar system has fared little better, as the two systems differed both in concept and function: the Babylonion decimal system was used to count up to 60, where the cycle started again, while the Chinese system combined a cycle of twelve and a cycle of ten.[10]
Lacouperie's ideas received attention from some Chinese intellectuals and nationalists, in support of anti-Manchu racist theories (founded on those of Herbert Spencer and the Yellow Book) that were current at the beginning of the 20th century.[11] His theory of a Western origin of Chinese civilisation had reached Japan around the same time, the academic refutation did not stop it becoming a prevalent and populist notion.[12] The idea for a mythical script, native to Formosa, was founded on a formulation of the author, though he also noted the paucity in quality of information from that region.[13]
A more durable contribution to scholarship was Lacouperie's identification of the ancient names of the Indian Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts from research in Chinese sources.[14]

My first interest in finding out about workers' perceptions on illness and workrelatedness while suffering from work-related problems. Other than you might except not much research is done on this particular subject.
From September 2005 until July 2009 I have been working as coordinator of knowledge dissemination at the Netherlands Center of Occupational Diseases since 2005. I am responsible for several websites aimed to disseminate information on occupational diseases, on infectious diseases and work and on hearing and work. Besides that we give information in publications, presentations and education. We have a helpdesk through which professionals in the field of occupational health can ask questions on complex problems. This service is used by other stakeholders as well. We have several networks of experts on occupational health subjects (infectious diseases, allergies, reproduction and work and skin and work). I try to coordinate all those activities to inform professionals and public on this important topic.
