U.S. Capitol tree stops by state Capitol
OLYMPIA -- The Englemann spruce that was cut last week near Usk to serve as the national Christmas tree at the U.S. Capitol made a stop by the state Capitol in Olympia Friday afternoon.
Obviously, someone forgot to look at the map. Only something connected to Congress could decide to go from Usk to Washington, D.C., by way of Olympia.

Research Verified Raspberry Ketones Reviews
About Research Verified Raspberry Ketones
The Raspberry Ketone nutritional supplement by Research Verified is claimed to help you shed fat by increasing adiponectin levels within your body, which is a naturally occurring hormone that breaks down fat. According to the company, they offer "the best products based on verified research," and their Raspberry Ketone is no different.
As we mentioned in our original Research Verified review, the company is not listed with the Better Business Bureau, but claims to hold an A+ rating with QualityTrusted.org. However, based on our research, QualityTrusted and Research Verified have all the appearances of being the same company.
We also noted that one of the most common customer complaints relating to Research Verified was that is was very difficult to get in touch with a live company representative. However, since writing this review, a representative of the company reached out to let us know that their service department is now fully staffed and ready to take your calls when needed.
On top of this, more than 27 customer reviews have appeared for Research Verified Raspberry Ketone on Amazon.com since our original writing, resulting in a 5-star average rating. The most common compliment appears to revolve around experiencing positive results (we'll talk more about this in the final section).
How Research Verified Raspberry Ketone Works
According to Research Verified, "most Raspberry Ketone supplements do not live up to their claims," as they contain incorrect dosage and potency, and "do not come from the same source proven effective in clinical studies." Because of this, the company claims to manufacture products that are the best available, and that are based on "actual science."
Similar to Whole Body Research Raspberry Ketones, Research Verified Raspberry Ketones are claimed to be made from ketones extracted from real raspberries, and to be made without "fillers, binders or any other extra ingredients." With this in mind, this supplement is claimed to work by increasing your body's production of adiponectin, a hormone responsible for breaking down glucose and fatty acids.
See Also: What's the Deal with Raspberry Ketone? Is it Really a Good Weight Loss Supplement?
According to the Research Verified website, their Raspberry Ketone supplement is manufactured in an FDA registered, cGMP certified facility, and is third party tested for purity. Also, according to the product's label, the only ingredient is raspberry ketone, which is contained in 100% vegetarian capsules. In order to begin experiencing the claimed benefits, the company states that you'll just need to take two capsules daily.
Research Verified Raspberry Ketones Pricing & Refund Policy
Research Verified Raspberry Ketone is currently is priced as follows:
- $48 for a single bottle
- $98 for 3 bottles ($33 each)
- $142 for 6 bottles ($24 each)
Regardless of which option you choose, first class shipping will cost you $6.97, while FedEx Express shipping will cost $19.97. Unlike most other nutritional supplements manufacturers, you will not be enrolled in an autoship program after ordering Research Verified Raspberry Ketone.
Regardless if your bottle of Raspberry Ketone is empty, used, or unopened, all Research Verified products come with a no hassle, one-year money back guarantee. To begin the refund process, simply contact customer service at (800) 685-3330 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Claimed to help you lose weight by increasing adiponectin levels, which is a hormone responsible for breaking down fat.
- All Research Verified products are claimed to be based on "actual science."
- One-year money back guarantee.
- No autoship program.
- Information on the company's website is repetitive and vague, and seems to be based more on hype than actual information.
The Bottom Line
As we mentioned in our original Research Verified review, there are some things you should keep in mind, whether you're purchasing Raspberry Ketone or one of the company's other supplements:
First, although the company does a good job of linking to clinical studies, keep in mind that the 2004 Japanese study referenced on the Raspberry Ketone page was conducted on mice and rats, not on humans. In fact, as we outline in our article What's the Deal with Raspberry Ketone?, "While we can't say that raspberry ketone doesn't work as a weight loss supplement, there isn't enough clinical evidence available to support those who do."
In addition, their product descriptions are often very vague, and include much of the same information found elsewhere on the site. In fact, on Research Verified's Raspberry Ketone section, there is even repeat information within the same page. On top of this, even though Research Verified claims to "explain in detail the research we carried out and why each product we chose is the best in its industry," other than marketing hype, none of this information is listed.
Furthermore, although Research Verified's Raspberry Ketone supplement has a wholly positive customer reputation on Amazon.com, this flies in direct opposition to what the vast majority of consumers are saying about raspberry ketone supplements from other manufacturers. Based on our experience reviewing hundreds of nutritional supplements, it's our opinion that this means one of two things:
- Either Research Verified Raspberry Ketone defies science and actually provides real-world weight loss results, or
- Some of these reviews are mistruths.
Finally, Research Verified is not rated with the Better Business Bureau, but claims to hold an A+ rating from QualityTrusted.org. However, by all appearances, Research Verified and Quality Trusted seem to be the same company.
So what does all of this mean? With the plethora of raspberry ketone manufacturers available on the market, you'll likely be able to find one at a retailer near you, often for less money than Research Verified Raspberry Ketone. Regardless of where you purchase your raspberry ketone supplement or how much you pay for it though, remember that there is essentially zero clinical evidence showing that it can reliably provide you with any weight loss benefits, which is supported by thousands of online customer reviews claiming that raspberry ketone failed to work at all.

This review was first published in May 2000
You have to feel a grudging affection for a restaurant so resolutely old-school as Bertorelli's. This is a proper Italian restaurant complete with a long menu and waiters and waitresses who are not bright young antipodeans on working holidays, but rather seasoned veterans of many a restaurant skirmish. The atmosphere is formal but not too formal. The chairs are comfortable. The food is simple and well-presented. Things proceed at a pace that is at once efficient and unhurried. Starters are classically based - good Parma ham with warm figs, a salad of baby spinach with crisp bacon and pecorino shavings, buffalo mozzarella with tomato and fresh basil, or antipasto of salami, bresaola, and Parma ham, with mixed pickles - while at a nearby table a diner tucks into a bowl of minestrone with more enthusiasm than delicacy. Sometimes familiar food is good food. Go on to choose from seven fish dishes, seven meat dishes, eight kinds of pasta (including spaghetti Bolognese - when did you last see thaton a trendy menu?) and a risotto with smoked haddock. There are also daily specials - grilled black bream with clams, asparagus, fresh tomatoes and lemon juice. The fish may be fractionally overdone but is a very successful dish nevertheless. Or perhaps oven-roasted lamb, grilled aubergine, baby spinach, pancetta and olive tapenade? From the main menu there is also pan-fried sea bass fillet, braised fennel and saffron broth, veal cutlet Milanese, salsa verde, or grilled calves' liver that comes with parsnip mash and mustard jus. The liver is cut thinly and cooked agreeably pink, and sits atop a small mountain of sound mash. The wine list features some sound middleweight bottles and they are mid-priced too. For dessert you should look no further than the affogato al caffe which is a simple but delicious combo - into a glass goes an amaretto biscuit and then a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream finally you pour a hot espresso coffee over the assembly. Delicious. Old-fashioned, but delicious. Comfort food is a well-documented phenomenon, but Bertorelli's in Floral Street alerts you to the possibilities of there being a 'comfort restaurant', which seems like a pretty nice idea. All this cosy glow does not come cheap (prices at Bertorelli's lie in the upper middle zone) and it has to be said that to impose, as they do, a £1.50 cover charge is little short of greedy. It's the kind of thing a more modern restaurant could never get away with. Grit your teeth and enjoy the soothing service, the good antipasti and old-fashioned dishes that have been cooked with care. Bertorelli's may be the perfect antidote to the brasher kind of upstart eatery.

Jamie Newberg: I think the usual suspects will be there in the end - Southern Cal, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, FSU, Georgia, and Miami etc. The teams that could be interesting to watch are Notre Dame, Florida, South Carolina, Illinois or the teams that made coaching changes. Can Nebraska and Arizona continue to build off what they did recruiting last season? I think so. And to me, the big surprise in ALL of recruiting this year will be Pittsburgh.
Bob Lichtenfels:You have to be impressed with what Dave Wannstedt and company have done at Pittsburgh. Two-five star commits already, and Jason Pinkston who is one of the top DT's in the nation. Wannstedt has basically slammed the door shut on Western PA this year. My darkhorse is Penn State with the number of high profile kids they are in on right now, with a come-back season they could land a potential Top ten class if things fall right.
Miller Safrit: Clemson is on a tear right now and really looks poised to pick up some of the top talent. Picking up yet another four-star player this morning in DeAndre McDaniel, the Tigers have really started strong this year. However, Miami appears ready to take the torch in recruiting this year landing on the favorites list of half the players in the Scout.com top tenty.
Two schools to keep a close eye on this year in the Big Ten are Illinois and Indiana. Ron Zook has done a good job at recruiting the top talent in the Land of Lincoln. Terry Hoeppner has breathed new life into a Hoosier football program that was dormant for some time. Hoeppner has verbal commitment from some very talented prospects.
September 1 is the first day colleges can officially offer players in the class of 2007. Who is the one player you would offer?
Chris Pool: Jeremy Finch, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound, safety from Indianapolis (Ind.) Warren Central, is the young man that I would offer right away. Finch is a freak of nature. He has the size of a linebacker and hits like one as well but he has the speed and instincts of a defensive back. Finch is versatile and he could develop into a linebacker at the next level. Warren Central head coach Kevin Wright says Jeremy Finch is a "Oh and Ah" type of guy that just brings people to their feet.

Cole Hersee Company introduced its engineered LED Rocker Switch for electrical applications. Engineered with safety as a top priority, this low current input membrane switch is compatible with microprocessor-based electrical/electronic systems and offers high visibility and durability, no matter the time of day or weather condition. Its wide, wrap-around green and yellow colored lenses are working parts of the actuator, rather than being separate components inserted into the actuator. This increases the chance of seeing the illumination when viewed from an oblique angle, from a distance or in the bright sunlight, decreasing risks on-site. The company ensures that the LED Rocker Switch meets the IP66 standard, the highest level of dust and high-pressure water resistance. This switch will snap into standard panel holes, and custom order pilot lights for 24-V switches are available.

You Say Regulation, I Say Punishment: The Semantics and Attributes of Punitive Activity

Recent trends in crime control have given new energy to an age-old question, namely what kinds of activity qualify as punishment. In addressing this question, jurists and scholars have often employed a logic that either restricts interpretations of punishment to traditional forms (e.g., prison, probation, death penalty) and functions (e.g., deterrence and retribution), or expands them to include the broader forms and functions of social control. This paper examines these opposing logics and considers an alternative logic based in common stipulations in power theory. Within this particular framework, punishment is conceived as action that is necessarily relational, intentional, personal and coercive.

Melia is always a hotel I stay at. Being in their hotel makes you feel important, and like s VIP. 100% outstanding. From extra towels, turn down service or just getting breakfast they do it all. Very friendly!
Hotel was represented as a 5 star...it is a 2 star, very dated and dirty. Mold smell in lobby and hallways, understaffed and the main attraction (sky bar) was closed because they did not have a bartender. Spa was dirty and spartan and understaffed as well. Staff did try hard, but they don't have much to work with. This is a dying hotel.
The kids absolutely loved being able to go to the club area and have snacks and play chess. The breakfast was plentiful but the downside some things were (ie the tortilla espanola) was really not as tasty as I have had in little eateries around Barcelona -- though if it is there and "free" that is what people tend to eat. Loved the Loewe amenities. Very bummed we cannot buy the shampoo anywhere. The people working the Level Club were very nice and helpful. One night we asked for help from the general night person and he messed up our reservation for Parc Guell even though we asked him repeatedly about it because it looked, to us, like it was the wrong date. The bathroom area and it's open design is bizarre especially if a family is sharing the room. Overall though a very good time.
This is not a 5 star hotel! This is barely 3 stars. Hotels.com needs to tighten up its rating system before it loses all credibility. I saw the mixed reviews but took a chance because every negative review was followed by an explanation from the hotel management. It is a complete sham. The rooms are dirty, floors and counters have spots/stains, bathroom water closets are too small to use if you are over 6' tall or not in perfect shape. The showers and counters have mold/mildew. I was moved twice but in the end no matter the sincerity of the 'manager on duty" the hotel cleanliness, and stench of the rooms is impossible to get past. I checked out and went to the W - note to Hotels.com - If this Level is 5 stars then the W should be 15 stars. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra money and stay at the W, Hotel Arts, Pullman, Mandarin Oriental - these all are legitimate 5 star hotels.

On March 6th, President Trump issued a revised executive order that restricts entry, including re-entry, into the United States for citizens and nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. At this time, the Executive Order has been, again, temporarily suspended through the US Court of Appeals, and the situation remains fluid. Despite this ruling, the International Student Services Office continues to advise foreign nationals from those countries to exercise caution and seek out advice for any travel plans with an International Advisor from our office. We are monitoring the situation closely and we will sponsor informational forums to keep our community aware of any changes. As always, our doors are open and we welcome and encourage students who have any travel/visa/immigration concerns to visit our office for a private consultation.

No. 76530
She mostly talked to herself while she was alone or sang songs to be calm and keep distracted. A scientist would occasionally come and bring her elsewhere for tests or questions on how she felt, what she thought about, etc. She was there long enough for her hair to start growing longer, but every time it would reach past her ears, it would get cut again.
"No. 76530, it's time for some social interactions," The scientist standing before her was a wrinkly old man with hair like clouds. What are clouds? She mused as he guided her down the hallway. By the time they reached their destination, other test subjects in various colors of clothing where with her. Seemed like everyone from all different walks of life were gathered in a single rainbow. She couldn't find anyone else with white clothes though, like her.
The cafeteria-like room is where they put everyone in color coordinated chairs. She found where the white clothes people sat. There wasn't even 15 of them, most of them looking over 30. A woman with black hair, light eyes and wide hips came up to her and hugged her tightly, as if she were a prodigal child.
Feeling awkward, she held her arms stiff at her sides and her back straight.
"Welcome to the family," she said bubbly, "You can call me Rose!" The number tattoo on Rose's leg read 4583. Rose led her through to the others and introduced them. All of them seemed mutually indifferent to her and had different flower names.
"So, you must have been here a while for a smaller number like that," she commented after Rose sat down to decide her new name. Rose shrugged at the thought and replied casually, "I don't know how long I've been here, but I know I have had seven children since coming here, so I guess you're right!" She sat there for a few more moments, then quickly turned to her, "Your new name will be Cherry Blossom! But Cherry for short."
Cherry Blossom. I guess I could get used to it.
A man named Columbine sat next to her and whispered in her ear, "You know what they mean by 'social interactions', yes?" His Russian accent was heavy and almost not understandable. Cherry looked at him, confused. Rose shushed him and smacked his arm lightly, but he continued.
"It's a breeding program. They study you're social habits and what you are attracted to," he paused for a breath but Rose cut in.
"She doesn't have to worry about that, you can tell she isn't mentally ready for anything of the sort," Rose turned Cherry's face towards her, "You must be careful and don't let them get any leverage on you like they did me," her whole body began to shake almost uncontrollably from the memories. Columbine rested a hand on Rose's shoulder.
"They'll mostly pair you, when they think you're ready of course, with men from other colors."
Cherry folded her hands in her lap, accepting her future, and twiddled her thumbs as she thought out loud, "What do the colors mean?" And is there any way to fight the system?

A family of 11 have been left paralysed and fighting for life after unknowingly eating a deadly Pufferfish.
The Souza family served the fish at a family gathering, not knowing that it was one of the most deadly fish on the entire planet.
The pufferfish contains a toxin 1,200 times more lethal than cyanide and a drop of the venom can kill an average human within 24 hours.
Its poison slows the body's nervous system down and stops the person from breathing, while the victim remains fully conscious.
Even worse is that four toddlers were also fed the fish and are not expected to make it.
Each member of the family began to vomit violently after the first swallowing and their bodies started to shut down shortly after.
Cristiane Souza, who did not eat the fish, said the whole ordeal was "terrifying".
She continued: "My husband was the first to say he couldn't feel his tongue, then his face, and then his arms. Then his legs went dead and he couldn't stand up any more. It was terrifying."
"My brother-in-law was the same. He didn't even make it out the door. We had to carry them out and rush them to hospital in a car."
"We're praying for a miracle."

By The Start
The first thing that hits me about The Start is the female vocalist. She (Aimee Echo) has a very distinctive voice that you'll either love or find that it grates you, ever so slightly. What's more striking is the fact that she carries it off well, in places being melodic and sweet and in others being sleazy and Elastica-esq. 'Death via Satellite' opens the eponymous EP with feeding-back guitar and rocking drumbeats. Hooky choruses are complemented well by the introduction of analogue synths somewhere in the background rising and falling. The synths are used with moderation and don't rule the sound like an eighties pop record, which I can tell you is a good thing, but instead create an ethereal, dark sound behind the grungy, Glam rock guitars. In 'Los Angelos' the ethereal spooky sound is there again but is still quite upbeat. Building up to a major hook it peaks and troughs to a haunting conclusion, distorted vocals, reverb-laden guitars and scary synths while still managing to rock. The sixth and last track 'Trinity' is the obligatory 6-minute epic and is a good closer to the EP, if not a tad samey to the other material.
The Start certainly have the song writing ability and musicianship to potentially sell lots of records but to be honest none of these tracks pass the old grey whistle test, and while I haven't stopped listening to this CD, I can't remember any of the songs about 5 minutes after hearing the record. Their melodies and choruses are pleasing to the ear but don't stick around unfortunately for The Start, as this is a good record.

Ottawa, July 3, 2012—The Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of Industry, today announced that the Harper Government will put in place regulations exempting microSD memory cards from copyright levies.
"Our government is committed to building a strong and vibrant Canadian digital economy, the cornerstone of which must be the widespread adoption of cutting-edge digital technologies," said Minister Paradis. "Placing a new fee on devices with removable memory cards, such as BlackBerrys and smart phones, would increase costs for Canadian families and impact the adoption of the latest technologies."
MicroSD memory cards are removable memory devices commonly used in smart phones. The Minister of Industry will request that the Governor-in-Council introduce regulations this fall. The Governor-in-Council has the regulatory power to exclude any type of recording medium from the application of a levy under the private copying regime.
"Our government worked hard to strike the right balance in the Copyright Modernization Act, which ensures world-leading consumer and user rights while giving creators the tools to protect their work and grow their businesses," added Minister Paradis. "An additional fee on removable memory cards is not only unwarranted but unfair to Canadian consumers."

It's Not Like the Picture

Waiting at the fast food counter, my husband David and I were viewing the available choices. The pictures of some food items showed breads stuffed with meat content that would entice anyone. Wow, they looked so good we could hardly decide which one to buy.
After we each purchased one of those pictured items, we were seated and eager to devour our luscious sandwiches. David opened his six-inch sandwich and pulled off an inch or so of bread from the end. I wondered what he was doing when he said, �No meat is in the end at all. It�s not like the picture that showed this sandwich stuffed with meat hanging outside the bun.� It sure was a disappointment.
Deceptive advertisements are a false come on to persuade you to buy certain products. We have certainly seen countless television advertisements that pull us to respond showing excellent steaks, pastas, and other foods prepared to our liking. A few products may have lived up to their commercials, but skepticism should be high for many others, as our sandwich experience confirmed.
Here is another example. The scenes on television show liquor, ales, and beers as a wonderful and acceptable necessity. People are shown in a cozy atmosphere chatting and laughing and having a great time. Vulnerable individuals are enticed to think this is the way we should live.The assumed notion is left that everyone drinks�aren�t we having a great time? All want to be in the accepted, hip crowd.
The advertisers know the psychology of appealing to our searching appetites. The advertisement entices you to try the drinks. The scene says, try it, c�mon try it. A deceptive and false view is played over and over again. We become fooled by dishonest promotions. This time it�s not food, but products that may eventually destroy families and lives if you yield to them.
Misleading scenes for these drinks certainly don�t show pictures of people drunk, acting nasty and obnoxious, and not even able to drive home. They don�t show how drinkers beat their loved ones once they arrive home without even knowing what they are doing.
The next morning their head throbs, they are grouchy and miserable and everyone in the household feels the brunt of this life-style. These consequences aren�t what advertisements show the viewers. The sale of alcohol is a profit-making venture inspired by commercials. It�s all about their wealth, not about you.
Folks, commercials are pictures that may or may not be true. Recognize deceptiveness and don�t be gullible, but be wise.

The 2005 Mountain West Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship started today with the men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon. Sophomore Katie Lloyd finished fourth in the pentathlon with 3,777 points, which is a career-high and less than 100 points shy of the school record of 3,855 by Nancy Mallory in 1979 and is also an NCAA provisional qualifying mark. Sophomore Kevin Johnson is second with 2,967 points, trailing Air Force's Caleb Pelger by just 21 points. BYU sophomore Amy Menlove won the pentathlon with a Mountain West record 4,172 points.
Senior Cristina Gourdin finished seventh with 3,547 points, while freshman Emily Pearson was right behind her with 3,384 points. Freshmen Niomi Ridge and Ashleigh Morton finished 12th and 13th, respectively, with 3,217 and 3,200 points.
Johnson is the lone Ram competitor in the heptathlon. In the first event of the day, Johnson was fifth after running a 7.26 in the 60 meters. He then won the long jump event after leaping 22-9.75 earning 802 points, which moved him into third in the standings.

In the last event of the day, the high jump, Johnson cleared a personal-best 6-3.5 to tie for third in the event and score 731 points.
On the women's side, Lloyd was fourth in the 60 hurdles with a time of 8.79, which is a personal best for her, while Pearson was seventh in 9.12, also a personal best and Gourdin and Ridge finished 12th and 13th, respectively in 9.32 and 9.38, respectively and Morton ran a 10.23, competing in her first pentathlon for Colorado State.

The standings after three events had Lloyd in second with 2,482 points, while Gourdin was in seventh place, Pearson was in ninth, Ridge in 11th and Morton in 12th.
The long jump saw Lloyd leap 18-0.5 to earn 700 points, while Morton jumped 17-4, Gourdin jumped 16-9.75, Pearson jumped a personal best 16-7.25 and Ridge had a jump of 16-1.5.

Jumping inMature
I rummage through my book bag and impatiently decide to dump to contents on my bedroom floor, half a pack of cigarettes, a couple tampons, some clothes from when we had to stop overnight at the motel on the way down here, my mother's purple glass bead rosary and my composition book journal all tumble out.
I know it's unconventional or maybe blasphemous to wear a rosary around your neck, but since I won't be praying on it anytime soon it's the only way to feel my mother's presence, I breathe in her essence; a Faith Hill fragrance that still lingers on some of her items, or maybe I'm just imagining it.
I laugh bitterly at the thought of my mother becoming a beach bunny, her hands had callouses from barn work, and her hair was constantly thrown up in a messy pony tail. Even in her muck boots she was beautiful, but the thought of mom lounging around in this neighborhood with the gold digger wives in a neon bikini was hilarious. She was the real deal her beauty wasn't cookie cutter but natural, and she had far more class than money could buy.
I peer out my window to make sure the creeper neighbor boy isn't spying on me again and once I see he's not I change into my bathing suit. It's a modest navy blue one piece that screams farm girl. I'm still far from California bronze but I have a slight tan from working on the farm and riding Bruiser. Bruiser was my old Morgan horse. He was sold along with the farm. I'm still trying to let go of that grudge against my father, it's going to take some time.
I check my phone the sympathy texts have all died down. Yesterday, I texted my best friend Megan to let her know I got here safely, all I got in return was a smiley text.
I walk down the hall and knock on Noah's bedroom door. His music is turned way up. "Go away." He says. I take that as my Que to barge in. It smells like marijuana.
"Are you smoking pot?"
"No of course not." He croaks, with a grin.
-"Mom would kill you for that!"
"Mom's dead." He says bluntly, staring intently at a guns and roses poster, "Is that crooked?" He asks.
I storm out of his bedroom slamming the bedroom door behind me. Since Dad is at a business meeting with Jerry, who moved here a couple months before we did, and convinced Dad this was the place to be and Noah is being a jerk, I decide to check out the pool solo.
I climb down the wide marble steps into the pool and take in the lush sound of the fountain recycling the water. Until I'm drawn into a trance. I hear familiar laughter in the distance.
"Mom!" I cry out.
"On three." She begins to count down, I search frantically for her. There is nobody around. I hear a splash. So I dive under water and swim towards the deep end, where I heard the splash. I hear her laughter again , only it's fades until it's completely gone. I don't move even though I know I should come up from air. I'm compelled to stay under until..
I feel arms around me and that's when I black out.

Seriously dude. What gun could you POSSIBLY BE USING for you to ask tips about THE M9.
Well to be honest I find the AK easier to control/use than the M9, even without the accuracy mod.
Re: Need Help With Aiming
Use the G-Mal. Yes I said it, use the G-Mal. You will get better at aiming if you get used to using a weapon that has some recoil on it.
Re: Need Help With Aiming
Maybe the M9 will seem relatively easy after.
Re: Need Help With Aiming
Stick with the AK it has more Stopping Power than the M9, but its useless against an M9RoF, had a loadout with the M9RoF just in case, keep the default cam speed with fleet foot and adjust if ur not gonna fleet foot
you can always try the blindfire in maps with CQAreas, there i recomend the KAL+Micro n Weapons Expert or the Flynns M9 which has BF and its practicly = to the kal because it takes less bullets for a punch to work
, and remember the closer you are able to get to the enemy the better the BF gets

Millwall recorded another comprehensive away victory in a vital basement battle at the Keepmoat on Tuesday night.Early goals from Andy Keogh and Harry Kane put The Lions in the box seat, and from that point there would only be one winner.Darius Henderson bagged a third on 58 minutes and The Lions saw out the remainder of the game comfortably.The visitors took the lead on nine minutes when James Henry followed a great run down the right with a perfect near post cross that Keogh met with a downward header for his fifth Millwall goal.Kane made it 2-0 four minutes later with a 25 yarder, and could have had a third with a volley that fizzed just wide.Left back Tommy Spurr went closest for Donny with two efforts just off target before the break, but Maik Taylor didn't have a difficult save to make all night.Henderson wrapped up the scoring with a flick into the far corner from another Henry cross.Hendo had brought a brilliant save out of Carl Ikeme just prior to his strike, but at the other end Maik Taylor remained a virtual spectator throughout, fielding tame second half efforts from Barnes and Diouf.After the bizarre events at Elland Road on Tuesday night, Saturday's encounter with Leeds United at The Den should be interesting to say the least.Kenny Jackett deserves great credit for the way he has continued to motivate his side to play attractive winning football on their travels. How to transfer that form to The Den is the question he will be keen to answer this weekend.Doncaster Rovers: Ikeme, O'Connor, Spurr, Bird, Beye, Gillett, Hayter (Oster, 57mins), Barnes, Diouf (Robert, 78mins), Piquionne, Coppinger (Dumbuya, 77mins).

Adam and Paul go to a school in a remote area of a country, 3 hours from the nearest town. They are both troublesome characters who love getting into fights. Then one day a kid called Mark finds a new type of beetle, with a lovely shiny, silvery shell. He takes it to the Geography teacher, who organises a hunt of the school grounds for what might be a possible new species. Hundreds are found before someone gets bitten - first a kid, then the Headmaster. Quickly they become infected by a strange new virus that the nurse is at odds to cure. Quarantined, their flesh turns to silver circuits and their mind is slowly taken over by the virus. Then they are just a machine.
As the hunt is called off, more and more infected are discovered. Sheep, rabbits, mice and dogs all become machines, targeting the pupils of the school to infect them too. Gradually the sane pupil numbers diminish until only a few remain. With no sign of help, will they be able to survive and work together in this strange new world?
Silver was truly scary! It's one of the best modern dystopian novels I have read, certainly the type of book I would choose for myself! I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but in this case, I have to say, it does really accurately portray what the book is like – if you like the cover, you'll probably enjoy the story!
One negative comment I would make is that the characters aren't very believable – you can't really get into their heads, which is a shame, but the book is still really great!

Honestly, I wouldn't take out another loan. I would make minimum payments on the lowest rates, and put all the extra on the highest rate until paid off, and then domino it through the rest of the debts. The variable rate scares me, tells me you are going to end up paying MUCH more, and every time your interest goes up, your payments go up, so you could be in a real bind in a real hurry, your payments could double or more in a couple of months.
I WOULD only use a 2nd mortgage as a last resort, can't pay my bills at all, type of thing. I would also earmark X amount of dollars for savings until you get at least 2 months of bills in the bank. If you have read much of this forum, there are a lot of people who will tell you that a HELOC is the worst thing you can do unless you first cut-up and cancel all credit cards. Do not ever apply for another one until the HELOC is paid off. Why?
Glad you asked. You have done nothing to resolve the cause, just put a band-aid on the situation and within one year, you will be right back where you are now only with a HELOC staring you straight in the face along with the other debts. I am not the only one on this forum who found htis out the hard way.
Before a few others pipe in with 'think about your FICO score.' What is more important, your FICO score or getting out of debt and out from under the burden you are currently facing???

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Your question is backwards. While the Federal Constitution is an enabling document, meaning that the Federal Government only has the powers specifically granted to it, the State Constitutions are the opposite. The States generally have powers unless specifically limited by the State or Federal Constitutions. The state legislature has the power to make these laws, and the executive has the power to enforce them.Ask a similar question
The state has the authority to enact reasonable laws for public safety.
***Please be sure to mark if you find the answer "helpful" or a "best" answer. Thank you! I hope this helps. ******Ask a similar question
US Constitution--none. It is not applicable to state highways laws. Additionally, the US Constitutions is specifically designed to address certain issues, issues left unaddressed are lef to the People/states to decide (see 10th Amendment--Bill of Rights.)
Your state Constitution likely has some provision regarding necessary and proper laws for public safety. Check it at http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=constitution&submenu=3
If you are considering this as an argument against to fight a traffic citation, recommend you come up with an alternate theory. Best of luck to you.

When fighting a ticket, the best defense would be one that does not prove too much- one that tries to bring down the entire system of traffic control for instance. No judge is going to give that the time of day. It is not the case that all of society, and every constitutional scholar has missed the fact that there is no basis for traffic laws, but only this defendant in traffic court has the gnosis.

Meanwhile, their legacy MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI, continues to remain in fairly good standing, despite the rather dated graphics and what I'm sure is a clunky back-end after 8 years of content updates.
While last week saw both the release of the final Abyssea add-on, Heroes of Abyssea, as well as the final story portion of the now three-year-old Wings of the Goddess expansion, we have reviews ready for neither. Instead, we bring you a review of the second of three Abyssea add-ons, Scars of Abyssea, released back in September.
Hey, MMO coverage doesn't come easy!
Expect a very thorough review of Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess before year-end, as well as a review of Final Fantasy XI: Heroes of Abyssea sometime in January. To hold you over, feel free to send me love/hate mail for my opinions and generalized ranting after having spent way too much time in the [A] forms of Vunkerl, Misareaux, and Attohwa.

Aiden Finds OutMature
Chapter 3
*~*Aiden's P.O.V*~*
My eyes were slowly flickering open. There was a loud banging in the distance. As my eyes opened more, the noise got louder. God, what the fuck is that! My hand flew to my forehead, due to the throbbing pain. And that when I realized that I hed a hangover. I was getting random flashes from last night, as my brain was having issues deciphering what happened last night. A grin spread across my face, that was one sickass party. The best ones are the ones that you can't remember.
There was still a banging only this time there was a voice with it. "Aiden, wake up, and open this god damn door!" yelled my dad. Each sound above a whisper sending a fresh pang of throbbing pain through my head. I slowly rolled out of my giant bed, and literally dragged myself to my door. What the hell could be want this early?
Clad in just my boxers, I unlocked the door and swung it open. "Yes," I said.
"Were you still asleep?" he asked. I barely heard him though, I stretched one of those stretches that you hear a loud ringing in your ears.
Rubbing my eyes trying to see clearly, I looked at my dad. He was dressed in another one of his expensive black suits. Leaning on the door frame I asked, "What time is it?"
He gave me a quizzical look. "Quit slurring your words Aiden and enunciate!" he screeched.
"Aaahhhhh!" I said clutching my head. "Don't scream, it hurts. And I asked what time is it?"
"It's 3 in the afternoon," he stated. Damn I slept for a long time...I think. Wait, when did I get home last night? Whatever, I should probably listen to what he's saying. "Hurry up and get dress, and come straight to my study. You're having breakfast with Charles and I, we have to talk to you." With that said he just turned on his heel and walked away.
I unattached myself from the door frame I was using as support, and shut the door. God, he probably want to talk more business. I get it, I'm taking over the business!
I staggered over to my bathroom that I shared with an empty room. I quickly washed my face and brushed my teeth with cold water.
Okay, I'm a little but more awake. Slowly walking over to my dresser, I opened a drawer and pulled out a pair of skiny jeans at random, threw on a gray v-neck, laced up my converse. Standing in front of my mirror I ran a comb through my messy black hair. My emerald green eyes were visible just below my hair ended. I smiled to myself revealing my dimples. They were the many reasons girls loved me. My eyes, my dimples, and my smooth charm. I wasa triple threat, and every girl fell for it.
Walking over to my nightstand, I grabbed my phone and noticed a bunch of texts and voicemails from people about the party last night. One that caught my eye was Leo called three times. What the fuck could be so important? So I hit send and slowly made my way out of my room to my dad's study.
After two rings he picked up. "DUde, what the hell? You finally woke up?" he asked on the other end.
"Yeah, I probably would have slept longer but my dad woke me up. He want's to talk to me," I replied emphasizing the word talk. "So, what's up dude, why'd you call three times?"
"Yeah, do you remember what you were about to do last night?" he asked almost hysterically.
"Honestly man, I don't remember anything. But you know what I say, the best parties are the ones that you don't remember," we said in unison as I smiled to myself. What could I have possible almost done that was so horrible.
"Yeah, yeah," Leo said slightley annoyed. "No, but Susan tried to hook up with you And me being your best friends, and barely sober, but not quite drunk, I meddle and got her away from you."
I stopped dead in my tracks. Susan. My heart ached, but was slowly replaced with anger. What the fuck! "Whoa! That slut! Just because things aren't working our for the Jarred she left me fore, doesn't mean she can coming back to me when I'm drunk!"
"I totally agree," said Leo on the other end, equally outraged. "I believe thanks are in order." he said cockily.
Chuckling to myself, I thanked him. "Thanks Leo, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"No problem, and what are friends for?" he asked jokingly.
"Exactly this. Alright, anyway, I gotta go talk to my dad. See ya."
"Good luck with your dad," said Leo before hanging up.
Putting my ohone away, I knocked on my dad's oak door. "Come in Aiden," came his voice from the other side of the door. I quickly opened the door and walked in. Charles and my dad were behind his desk waiting for me. I sighed, walking over to an arm chair with with a coffee table in front of it, with food! There was toast, and marmalade, and scrambled eggs. And aspirin! God I need aspirin, my head is pounding.
Plopping down on the chair, and propping my feet up on the ottoman, I started to devour the eggs. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I saw the food.
"Aiden," my dad spoke ad I was halfway through the eggs. "We're not here to talk business, we're here to talk about your future."
I gave him a puzzled look as he got up from his desk and walked over to the sitting area and sat on the couch across from me. What the hell was he talking about? My future is business, I thought he made that very clear. Charles sat next to him, with a very thick manilla folder in his hands. "What are you talking about, I thought business was my future?" I finally asked sitting back in my seat after taking a sip of the water.
"Okay, Aiden," my dad degan, closing his eyes, and sighing. When he opened his eyes, he continued. "Look, son, there's no easy way to put this. So I'm just gonna come out and say it cause your my son. You're in an arranged marriage. Her name is Adelaide Trinity. I spoke to her yesterday, and she will be having dinner here on Friday wither her mother."
What the fuck!?!?! Did he just say what I think he said? No way in hell am I in an arranged marriage. So I said the only thing that came to mind. "No."
My dad looked at me, I was furious. I didn't want to marry some stranger I didn't even know, or even love. "You will marry her," said my dad. "If you don't, you'll be breaking the law, yes it's a legal document."
I sighed, I break laws all the time, drinking, drinking and driving, and bunch of other stuff. But there's no way I'm winning this one, it's me against my dad. "Can I meet her atlest?" I asked.
"You'll meet her on Friday. She's going to be staying with us until the wedding at the end of the summer. She'll attend Northern Cascade University with you," he stated.
I can't believe it, I'm actually letting my dad get me married. "What do you know about her?" I asked, finally giving in.
Charles handed me he thick folder he was holding. Damn. Either she was an over achiever, or a criminal, and I had a feeling it was the first one. God, I hope she's not ugly.
Placing the folder on the table, I flipped it open. The first paper of the pile was what looked like a college acceptance letter. It read:
Ms. Adelaide Trinity, you have been formally accepted to Juliard, School of the Performing Arts on a full scholoarship.
SHe's going to Juliard?" I asked aloud. But, then how is she going to NCU?
"No, she turned it down," answered Charles. Who the hell turns down Juliard? I read on, flipping through the sheets of paper. She dances, draws, sings, palys guitar, and piano. She maintained a 4.0 GPA thoughout high school and graduated valedictorian. She even ran for class president. And she turned 18 in November.
I flipped another page, and my breath caught in my throat at what I saw, she was....beautiful. I know that's weird for a guy to say, but she was hot! There was something about her that made her mesmerizing. Maybe it was her eyes, I don't know why, but I didn't want to look away. Flipping through the many pictures of her, some where of her walking down the street, others of her warking at what looked like Pac Sun. There was even one of her singing and shaking her head in her car with some other hot girl next to her doing the same. I chuckled to myself at how cute that was, but instead I asked "She works at Pac Sun?"
"Worker," answered my dad. "I told her to quit. She doesn't need to work, she's going to be a Norrington."
I looked back down at the way she held herself when she walked. She looked confident, yet shy and modest. I hope she doesn't think she's all that. I cann't deal with another girl like that. Especially not one that I have to marry. Well, all I have to do is get her in bed, and she'll be eating out of the palm of my hand. And I'd be able to do whatever the hell I want.
I glanced back down at her picture, looking her body up and down, pausing for a few extra seconds at her chest. At least I was going to enjoy this.
"Aiden," my dad said, snapping me out of my fantasy. "I hope you understand why I'm doing this. Adelaide will bring glory to our name. Not only that, but when you take over the business, you're going to need someone respectable, intelligent, and dependable at your side. And this is that girl."
Sighing, I asked, "Do I have a choice?"
"No," he said bluntly. "If you want to see her in person before Friday, on Thursday, she's performing at a local coffee shop. I'll take you, but you can't say a word to her. She'll be nervous enough on Friday. I personally want to know how well she sings."
"Why would I want to go if I can't even talk to her?" I inquired. Seriously, I need to start working my charm.
"Son," started my dad, "I'm giving you an advantage. You'll know what yo expect. For all she knows, you could be fat and ugly."
He's got a good point. Plus, I am curious to see how she sings as well. I mean, since I used to be in a band, and was lead singer, I'm pretty in tune with pitched. Nodding my head, I said, "Sure, I'll go."
"Great," said my dad smiling. "Be ready to leave by six, it's an hour drive, and she starts at 7."
This is really going to be interesting, hmmmm, maybe I could being Leo.

Mobius a great experience
I had the opportunity to visit the Mobius Science Center with my grandchildren over Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful educational and fun experience.
All of the adults we interacted with were enjoying the science center as much as their children. My grandchildren even elected to return to the science center after lunch.
Spokane is privileged to have the Mobius Science Center in our city's center. It offers a place for birthday parties, as well as one- or two-day camps during Christmas break.

Weston Ochse (born 1965 in Gillette, Wyoming) is an American author and educator. He has won the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel [1] and been nominated for the Pushcart Prize for his short fiction. His novel SEAL Team 666 is currently under development by MGM Films. Dwayne Johnson [2] has attached himself to the film to executive produce as well as act in a leading role.
Early life[edit]
Weston Ochse was born in Gillette, Wyoming. By the time he was ten years old, he'd lived in ten states including South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska, Ohio, New Jersey and Tennessee. He spent the greater part of his childhood in Chattanooga, Tennessee where he graduated from Tyner High School. He enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school and became an intelligence officer. He was stationed in the Republic of Korea, Fort Jackson, Fort Gordon, Fort Bragg, Fort Carson, Fort Huachuca, Presidio Monterey and Los Angeles Air Force Base. He retired from the U.S. Army in 2004 with an Honorable Discharge.
Weston began writing professionally in 1997. He won the Bram Stoker Award for his first novel, Scarecrow Gods, in 2005. His co-written collection of short stories titled Appalachian Galapagos, was nominated for the Pushcart Prize for Short Fiction. In 2008, his novella Redemption Roadshow was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Best Long Fiction. In 2009, his short story The Crossing of Aldo Ray was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Short Fiction. In 2012, his short story Righteous was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Short Fiction.
Weston's work has appeared in comic books (IDW Publishing), professional writing guides, magazines, anthologies, as well as his own novels. He has been widely reviewed and has been hailed by his contemporaries as "one of the few new writers who will help redefine the field of dark literature for the future" (Edward Lee (writer)).
In 2002, an independent film company attempted to create a feature film based on his short story "Catfish Gods" (appeared in Scary Rednecks and Other Inbred Horrors).[3] The film reached primary shooting before it folded[4].
In 2013, MGM optioned the film rights to SEAL Team 666 from MacMillan Films Division. Dwayne Johnson [5] has attached himself to the film to executive produce as well as act in a leading role. SEAL Team 666 and the ensuing books was inspired by the U.S. Navy SEAL take down of Osama Bin Laden and the idea of [6]What if there's an even more special SEAL Team that protects America from supernatural attack.
Weston holds a Bachelor of Arts in American Literature from Excelsior College and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from National University (California). He travels extensively to book signings and conventions where he has been Gross Out Contest bouncer, toastmaster and guest of honor. He is a frequent speaker at libraries and schools. He has been an adjunct faculty member for Cochise Community College and runs the online Guerrilla Fiction Writing Workshop.
He currently lives in Southern Arizona with his wife, and fellow author, Yvonne Navarro.[7]

I worked in the Tony Bros Ice Cream factory as a school holiday job in 1967 or 68. I vividly remember Tony Tedeschi, who chain smoked Benson and Hedges, Derek the gentle giant who took me under his wing and the lovely Yolande. It was hard work, but good fun and it's a shame it's all gone now. We definitely made the best choc ices in the area.
