Stag Arms Complete Lowers
AR type semiauto lower receiver assemblies completely finished and ready to go. Come with your choice of M4 adjustable or M16A2 fixed type buttstock assembly installed.
Marked 5.56mm but compatible with AR type uppers in many other calibers and configurations. These lowers come in a dark gray/black finish that is the same as used by Colt, FN, Bushmaster and others. It will darken when oil is applied to the metal surfaces. Discriminating builders and shooters will appreciate the uncompromising quality of these completed receivers. All brand new GI specification parts (apart from the semiauto fire control group) are used in the construction of these units. No surplus and no imports. Proudly made in USA.
Cannot be shipped directly to most customers. Must ship to FFL for buyers outside of Oregon. Oregon buyers may arrange for pickup in person on PREPAID orders only at many local gun shows. These are stored with a local FFL holder and are not available for pick up at my place so don't ask.
|Introductory special.
$250 each shipped. Discounts available on orders of five or more.
Contact email@example.com to arrange puchase.
Most shipments will go by priority mail to the FFL holder AFTER we have a signed copy of the FFL on file.
Stag Arms M4 Uppers
These are set up with a 16" chrome lined barrel with M4 cutouts and semiauto bolt carrier assembly. Fat M4 handguards, steel side sling swivel assembly, numbered flattop upper, and standard charging handle. The quality on these is superb. These are 100% US made by a company located in Connecticut that has been a long time contract parts manufacturer for several well known firms and government contracts.
These are currently available in 5.56mm and are compatible with most quality lower assemblies with little or no fitting required when used on Stag, Colt or Bushmaster lowers. Minor fitting may be required with other brand lowers, but usually it is a "snap on and go" build up.
These are not the cheapest upper receiver assemblies available on the market, but they are arguably the best civilian M4 type uppers on the market and are competitively priced when you consider the free shipping, the included ARMS rear sight on the upgrade version, and the availability (usually in stock ready to ship).

AR15 type (semi) spare parts kit
Includes all commonly lost or worn out small parts for AR15 type rifles. Only one of the parts is specific to the semi-auto AR, so most of this kit is relevant to the M16/M4 series weapons also. Contains numerous pins, springs and detents that are most likely to ever be lost, broken or worn out through normal use.
Made and packaged by DPMS
Contains pins, springs, detents and disconnector for AR15 type
rifles. This kit is a must have for users of AR type
weapons. Have a minimum of one kit for every two
AR15 Type (semi) lower parts kit
This kit includes all of the internal mechanical parts for completing an AR15 type lower receiver. DOES NOT include butt stock assembly or stripped lower. The trigger group with this kit is specific to the semi-auto rifles. This is the kit you need when building a working lower from a stripped lower.
Made and packaged by DPMS
Does not include buttstock assembly.
AR15/M4 type Buttstock assembly
Standard specification adjustable buttstock assembly for AR15 type carbines with M4 updates. Fits all standard AR type lower receivers. Included stock, buffer tube, spring and buffer and all necessary hardware. Requires spanner, castle nut or stock wrench to install. GI specification 6 position adjustment on the buffer tube. Includes standard carbine buffer and spring, basically everything that mounts behind the receiver.
CAR-15/XM177 type Buttstock assembly
Old style collapsible buttstock assembly from the pre-M4 era. Brand new production and the same model found on some early M4 rifles. This is built to the same specifications on the same machinery as the collapsible buttstocks on the early Colt carbines. Includes standard carbine buffer and spring, basically everything that mounts behind the receiver.
M16A2 Buttstock assembly
Standard fixed buttstock assembly, complete with buffer tube, spring and buffer. This is a very solid stock assembly and still arguably the best fixed stock available for the M16/AR15 type rifles. This one is 100% GI specification with the trap door in the back and a compartment for a cleaning kit (not included).
Norgon Ambi Mag Catch for AR15/M16/M4
A very clever device that does little to alter the appearance or function of the M16 mag release, but functionally gives left handed users the ability to quickly release magazines the way right handed people can do with their trigger finger. Vastly speeds up the tactical reloading process for the left hand user without taking away any function for the right handed user. Easy to retrofit onto any AR15 or M16 rifle.
AR type Ambi safety lever
This ambi safety/selector lever works in AR type semiauto rifles and some other guns designed to use AR parts.
Specops Brand HAZ-Mat drag bag / shooting mat.
The Specops Brand HAZ (Hold Approach Zip) mat is arguably the largest, most versatile and heavy duty drag bag in use by US military forces. Large enough to hold a Barrett M82 without breaking it down, or any of the medium machineguns in US inventory (with optics), this is the king of drag bags.
You can configure the bag as a backpack, drag bag, shooting mat with or without a blast mat and of course, as a regular gun case.
There are attachment points on the inside and outside of the case for additional pouches. Best of all is a panel on the back side of the bag which allows for the attachment of most tactical packs.
The blast mat is a a removable extension of the HAZ-mat which extends far enough forward to reduce the dust signature caused by muzzle brakes on the more powerful sniper rifles. It also helps to reduce the dust signature of just about any bipod mounted weapon like the M60, M240 and M249. Incidentally, the HAZ mat will hold any of these machineguns WITH the spare barrel bag. For use with a tripod mounted weapon, remove the blast mat or leave it folded. For more information, click on the link to the right.

Tac-Force Drag Bag
This drag bag is size and built primarily for 7.62 NATO type sniper systems, to include extra pockets for the full loadout, like the spotting scope, tripod, bipod, rangefinder, spare mags and ammo. Following several popular designs, this drag bag is functional, yet ads a few subtle innovative features. The storable shoulder straps have quick release buckles all around. The main compartment can close with snaps or the zippers. The front/top has multiple drag handles for different styles of stalking. The build quality is evident throughout the material selection and construction of this quality bag at an amazing price considering the professional quality of this item. This is part of a new generation of fully professional quality field items put out by Tac-Force for the real world market.

Wolf Hook Sling/Tether
While lots of people have what they consider "tactical slings" which are rarely compatible with other field equipment an operator wears in the field, the Wolf Hook is specifically engineered to integrate with all current US issue load bearing systems and vests. It is the only system that allows full retention of the weapon while firing one handed and offers the hands down fastest means of deploying an M4 or CAR15 type rifle from a rest mode to aimed fire from the shoulder. Not to be confused with the "tie you up and choke you" police style tactical slings or some improvised para-cord arrangement that can come untied (or impossible to untie).
I personally give this item my highest endorsement and consider it to be the best field sling system that anybody has come up with in a long time. This is readily compatible with conventional slings and nearly all assault and load bearing vests. Highly recommended for use with most assault rifles and fully ambidextrous with minimal alteration for use with some rifles. Very easy to install with or without removing your standard issue sling. The Wolf hook is compatible with most rifles, shotguns and submachineguns that have a rear sling attachment. Highly recommended for use with the M4 carbine
Available in Black, tan and OD green.
|Available in OD green, Black, and tan. Recommended
for left handed shooters.
$30 each
Mamba Tactical Sling
This is a deluxe sling engineered specifically for assault rifles like the M4 and M16/AR15. It is the best tactical assault sling currently on the market - bar none. It offers more adjustment and versatility than any other assault sling currently in production by anybody.
After testing some of these slings on a few rifles, I have concluded that this is not readily usable by left handed shooters without modification of the rifle and sling. I cannot recommend this type of tactical sling for left handed shooters, but in fairness to Spec-ops, it was the best sling of its type that I have tested, therefore I will still carry these as a stock item. Spec-ops will be coming out with another sling that lacks some of the features of this one, but should prove simpler and more compatible with left handed shooters and a wider variety of rifles.
Also, for those who understand the difference between operation in a field environment and operation in a tactical environment, note that tactical slings are generally not used in the field environment because they interfere with other gear.
|Long M16 model - Fits full size M16/AR15, HK91 and FAL/L1A1
Short M4 model fits M4, Mini-14, CAR-15
Colors are Black and OD
All Versions - $35.00
Rail Mount Grips
These grips mount to any USGI/Picatinny compatible rail. You have the choice of two variations, heavy and light. Both come with a full warranty and are easy to install or remove. The light model is made of a Zytel like plastic material and is very strong but light. The heavy model is made of a heavy alloy and is coated with rubber for a sure grip. Some people like the extra weight to stabilize the rifle, others prefer to have the lightest weight package possible. Both preferences are valid, so I am offering both grip options with no difference in price. The light model is marked the same as those issued with the USGI SOPMOD kit. Adds stability and handling to any rifle, shotgun or submachinegun with a rail handguard. Readily compatible with Knights, GG&G, ARMS and most similar rail systems and clones.
KAC marked Polymer $55
Milspec (sterile) polymer $35
Metal with rubber overmold gripping surface $25
Ready-Fire Mode.
This is basically a really good pouch for keeping a spare loaded mag with your rifle at all times. It also incorporates a nifty top sling loop and suspension system that is guaranteed not to slide around or come off, or interfere with the charging handle on an M16/M4/AR15 type weapon. The Ready fire mode will fit USGI and similar 20 and 30 round magazines with ease, but the Ribbed Thermold mags fit pretty tight.
I Highly recommend the Ready-Fire for the Cav-Arms type rifles that don't have a rear sling swivel and you want to ad a rear sling attachment without having to drill or cut your stock.
Now available for larger .308 caliber magazines. Specifically made for the AR10, but will also work with M14, FAL, HK91 and similar rifle stocks and mags. Will NOT work on sidefolder stocks that fold to the right. Shown here on an M14 stock.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/7/2014 (1060 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — A Canadian hero is about to have a day in Manitoba named after him.
The Manitoba government has proposed that the August civic holiday be known as Terry Fox Day to honour the Winnipeg-born Fox who was just 22 when he died in 1981 during his attempt to run across Canada on one healthy leg and a prosthetic leg in his Marathon of Hope to raise money for research to find a cure for cancer.
Premier Greg Selinger made the announcement on Wednesday.
The new name won't be in place this year, as Selinger said an enabling bill will be tabled in the Manitoba legislature this fall. The premier said he expects it to pass unanimously.
"Terry Fox embodied hope, courage, commitment and strength in the face of adversity," Selinger said in a media statement. "Naming the civic holiday after him is a way for all Manitobans to honour this great Canadian for the hero he was.
"He spent his first 10 years here and he always had a special connection to Manitoba. And I think Manitobans feel a kind of special connection to him."
Selinger said naming the August holiday after Fox is appropriate given its proximity to the marathon runner's birthdate of July 28.
Selinger said Fox's family supports the holiday designation, but wants to ensure Manitoba continues to promote cancer-research funding activities such as the annual Terry Fox Run. The premier assured the family that it would.
A press release Wednesday said the province made the decision after "a grassroots movement emerged on social media" calling for the change.
In an interview, the premier said there has been "a lot of buzz in the media" about making such a gesture to Fox's legacy.
"Citizens are very supportive of it," he said.
While Fox's Marathon of Hope run was cut short, the annual Terry Fox Run has continued and raised hundreds of millions of dollars over the years for cancer research.
"We are truly thankful and proud that the Premier wishes to acknowledge Terry's legacy, his place of birth and where he spent his early years," Judith Fox-Alder, Terry's sister and the international director of the Terry Fox Foundation, said in an email statement.
"We look forward to hearing more about the province's plans to name the August civic holiday after our son and brother."
Terry's aunt, Nancy Wall, who lives in Winnipeg, called the news "wonderful" and a real tribute to "a great Canadian boy."
"I'm very pleased, naturally," Wall said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. "He was a wonderful young man. I used to think he could walk on water."
After running 5,374 kilometres in 143 days in 1980 from St. John's, N.L., to Thunder Bay, Ont., Fox was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope in Thunder Bay on Sept. 1, 1980 when it was discovered the cancer had spread to his lungs.
"Terry Fox did so much in the global fight against cancer. He was not only an inspiring individual but a true pioneer," Selinger said. "Now when people are enjoying a holiday with their friends and family, they will remember the amazing man who inspires so many."
Fox was born in Winnipeg on July 28, 1958, and lived in Winnipeg, attending Wayoata School in Transcona, until he moved with his family to British Columbia when he was eight years old.
A natural athlete as a youngster, he excelled in soccer, rugby and baseball. He also did some long-distance running in junior high and high school. He was a kinesiology student at Simon Fraser University, where he also played on the junior varsity basketball team.
In 1977, he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. A malignant tumour was found in his right leg, which was amputated 15 centimetres above the knee.
Just two years later, he completed a marathon in B.C., and then started on a plan to run across Canada and raise millions for cancer research.
During the first Marathon of Hope, Fox ran an average of 42 kilometres every day for 143 days.
"He was always a good standup kid, and when he had this horrible thing happen to him, he didn't want people to feel sorry for him," Wall said. "He got sick, but he was already this extraordinary person. The door opened for him to help people out.
"He wasn't out for publicity. He didn't do any of it to get his name out. He sincerely wanted to help out."
Wall said she's still overcome by emotion when she thinks about her nephew.
"I have a good cry still when I think about him."
The Manitoba government previously announced that it would honour Fox by designating a portion of the Trans-Canada Highway between Winnipeg and the Ontario border as Terry Fox Way. A spokeswoman for the premier said Wednesday the necessary road signage is now being prepared.

Hello puzzlers,
I haven't been updating the blog this year, but I have kept playing iOS puzzle games, and giving brief heads up on Twitter. It's now time to pick the best, for the customary end-of-year top 10 list.
While I must say that I felt 2015 was, for puzzle apps, a worse year than the preceding ones, there were still many excellent games released, and it was difficult picking just ten of them.
#10 Kaodoku
A variation of Sudoku which is a lot more difficult and interesting. Excellent hint system, which gently points to the logic deduction needed to proceed. The puzzles are randomly generated, favoring the ones that remain interesting until the end.
#9 Patchmania - A Puzzle About Bunny Revenge!
This could very well be the final word in "path finding" puzzles, extending the mechanics in several ways and putting cute animations on top. I think it might even have too many levels, so it can get a bit repetitive after a while.
#8 Divide By Sheep
I like the dark humor of this one. Don't be put off by it being pitched as a "math puzzler": the math is elementary. There's a lot of variety, because the mechanics change in many ways as you progress. Easy to play through if you don't care about earning 3 stars, but if you want to find the perfect solution to each puzzle you have a lot of thinking to do.
#7 [the Sequence]
A "visual programming" game with novel ideas and very good level design. You essentially need to put together an assembly line of different robots, then watch it run as they move items from start to finish. Unlike other games of the genre, it doesn't leave much freedom to create your own solutions, because you have a limited number of elements in each level.
#6 Good Fences
This game oozes mathematical depth--in a good way. The aim is to completely surround a shape with identical copies of itself, which gets complicated as the shapes become irregular and difficult to tightly pack together.
#5 Inch By Inch
A rare instance of a single-tap puzzle game, where timing is essential, but isn't everything: to ensure that your worm doesn't die a violent death, you need to carefully plan your moves. At the beginning you might think that you are just timing your moves wrong, but eventually you realize that you are doing the wrong moves.
#4 Manowar
One of the best physics puzzlers ever. While physics do play a major role, the core of the game actually requires a lot of logical thinking. In some cases you also need good dexterity and precise timing, but more often than not, the main difficulty is figuring out the right sequence of actions to do.
#3 Test Chamber - Mind-bending Puzzles
A "block pushing" puzzle set in a mysterios "wraparound" world. Clever mechanics and doubly clever level design. with many surprising solutions. Takes a while to grasp, and is well worth it.
#2 A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build
Another "block pushing" puzzle which features some incredibly simple mechanics used in creative ways. One of the best examples of videogames as a form of art. It might seem short, but there's a hidden meta-puzzle after the end which raises everything you did previously to a different level.
#1 Tetrobot and Co.
One of the largest collection of "a-ha!" moments in a puzzle game. Great mechanics, explored in lots of different directions by making all kinds of variations to the world. Large, very well designed levels. The basic solutions are reasonably approachable, but requires careful thought in order to achieve the 3 "stars". And after you've done that and think you're clever, you need to bend over backwards if you want to unlock the extra achievements.

The 10 Best Puzzle Apps That You Haven't Played in 2015
1 comment:
- Glenn Westmore said...
If you like these games, check out Thwart. It is a really challenging game, designed to promote mathematical and problem-solving skills. Random play or other simple approaches are not sufficient; it requires different strategies to solve the puzzles. It requires thinking through many moves in advance, so it forces systematic thinking, while still being fun to play.

Chancellor George Osborne will deliver his 2012 Budget statement to the House of Commons today, amid speculation that the statement will include significant announcements on personal tax allowances and the 50p top rate of income tax.
The personal income tax allowance is due to rise from £7,475 to £8,105 next month, but some experts believe that a significant further increase could be announced, bringing the threshold at which individuals start paying income tax to more than £9,000.
Meanwhile, some economists are predicting that the Chancellor will announce a reduction in the top tax rate from 50p to 45p, to take effect from April 2013.
The Chancellor has already confirmed that the Budget will include 'aggressive' new measures to crack down on stamp duty avoidance, and there is speculation that a new higher rate of stamp duty could be applied to properties...
worth in excess of £2m.
Mr. Osborne is also expected to clarify the situation regarding the Government's planned changes to child benefit, following concerns that some families will be unfairly penalised as a result of the withdrawal of the benefit for higher rate taxpayers.

Just a junior, quarterback Taylor Martinez has established himself as one the best statistical signal-callers ever to wear the Nebraska jersey. He is the school's all-time yardage and passing leader, with many more records bound to fall before his time in Lincoln is up.
But one thing eludes Martinez. A piece of hardware needed to be considered one of the greats at a school with as much tradition as Nebraska – a conference championship.
As a freshman in 2010, Martinez and Nebraska squared off against Oklahoma for a Big 12 title. Down 17 points at one point, the Sooners would come back to defeat the Huskers in their last game affiliated with the conference. Martinez was just 12-of-24 in the game with an interception and -34 yards rushing.
"This time I'm healthy, which I'm happy about," said Martinez. "We started out fast against Oklahoma and we need to do that again."
On Monday, Martinez was named by the conference's coaches first-team All-Big Ten. An honor that shows how far the California native has progressed the last three seasons.
In 2012, Martinez has thrown for 2,483 yards and 21 touchdowns, with a completion rate hovering around 63 percent. In addition, he four game of 100 yards or more rushing, finding the end zone seven times on the ground.
Against Wisconsin earlier in the year, he combined for 288 total yards and three scores.
"A guy that, I think, earned the respect of all of our players after our game, just about how well he could execute the throwing game," Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema said of Martinez. "We all know he's a good athlete. We know he can run. But he's very, very clean and precise in his throws, his reads, his reactions, and ultimately on his throws."
Running backs
Sophomore Ameer Abdullah was selected second-team All-Big Ten by the coaches on Monday night. He won't be starting in Saturday's championship game.
The honor will go to Rex Burkhead (7.5 yards per carry), who missed a total of six games in 2012 with a MCL sprain. Burkhead has just recorded 63 carries in 2012, compared to his 284 the previous year. The former first-team All-Big Ten running back is finally healthy and hopes to bring fresh legs to crowded Nebraska backfield.
"I hope it gives a burst of energy to the team," said Burkhead. "Just being able to finish off things, finish off runs, fight for those extra yards and just help the team where I can."
Many wondered whom Nebraska would turn to next season when Burkhead graduated and in 2012 Abdullah provided he was ready to carry the load.
Making eight starts on the season, he rushed for 1,071 yards and eight touchdowns, racking up 5.0 yards per carry. He might have found the end zone more, but true freshman Imani Cross established himself as a goal line threat.
The true freshman, who checks in at 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, found the end zone six times, registering 54 carries on the year. Despite his larger frame, Cross averaged 5.4 yards per carry.
Last but not least, sophomore Braylon Heard should be nicknamed "first down." On 45 carries, he averaged 7.0 yards per carry and has big-play threat capabilities.
"I anticipate Rex starting. He's going to play a lot and Ameer (Abdullah) is going to play a lot," said Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini. "You'll see Braylon (Heard), you'll see Imani (Cross), you'll see them all."
Wide Receivers
Led by second-team All-Big Ten standout Kenny Bell (44 catches, 789 yards, eight touchdowns), Nebraska might have the most talented wide receiver group in the Big Ten.
Junior Quincy Enunwa has 35 catches for 408 yards and a score. He also brings superior blocking on the outside in the running game.
Rounding out the top three is sophomore Jamal Turner, a threat to score a touchdown every time he touches the ball. Turner season started off slow, but the sophomore has become one of Martinez's favorite targets over the last four games.
Offensive Line
Nebraska's offensive line will come into Saturday's contest with no seniors up front, as center Justin Jackson is out for the remaining part of the year after hurting his leg against Iowa.
In his place will either be junior Cole Pensick, or Saturday's replacement Mark Pelini – nephew of head coach Bo Pelini. The two will be battling it out in practice this week to determine the starter.
"I've said all along that I feel good about the center position," said Bo Pelini. "Just like any other position, if someone goes down, somebody has to step up."
The Huskers finished the regular season No. 29 in the nation in scoring and No. 8 in total rushing yards.
Junior offensive guard Spencer Long was a first-team selection by both the coaches and the media, the only Nebraska player to receive first-team accolades on both teams. Long was a second-team All-Big Ten selection as a sophomore in 2011. A former walk-on, he is just the second Nebraska offensive lineman to earn first-team all-conference honors since 2003.

This won't necessarily protect you against litigation, but it will show that you *did* make an attempt to prevent copyrighted material from being posted. As such, you're more likely to be treated as a third party to copyright violation, instead of being partly-responsible for that copyright violation.
Also, be sure that you as the Webmaster are easy to get in touch with, so that copyright violations can be easily reported to you for action. I have had the situation come up before where the Webmaster had hidden behind private domain registration and had provided no on-site contact information. I looked for 20 minutes, and then sent e-mails to "webamster@", "postmaster@", and "admin@", hoping that one or more of these "customary" e-mail addresses would work. Seven days later, having received no reply, I gave up and submitted the DMCA claim to have the offending pages removed from the site and from search...
However, eventus has it right -- Consult with an attorney if you need legal advice.
Within this documented framework you can cover issues such as copyright.
A good example of a 'terms of service' user agreement can be found right here on Webmasterworld. Look for the link at the bottom of every page.
In order to get a user agreement of this type in place you really are best advised to do it in conjunction with qualified legal counsel.

Then let Mitty, with his usual golden touch, note that the owners have their points, too!
She was older than Mitty and Mrs. Alcock, and Mrs. Evans of the shop, and quite different, very awful to look upon.
Mitty was just the right sort of a Mitty for a little frontier girl.
Mitty took him to the door, opened it, and pushed him gently in.
Nan glanced at Mitty and the washerwoman who were eating their breakfast.
We must do something, girls, and look 'how it do rain,' as Mitty would say.
Miss Mitty raised her eyes to mine, and Miss Matoaca did likewise.
"She gwine speak loudah an' quickah nex' time," said Unc' Landy, shaking his hoe-handle at Mitty.
It was all chronicled on Mitty's faithful heart, but nowhere else.
How to keep Mitty in comfort seemed of far greater importance to-day—how to provide a home for her with a little kitchen in it.
"adventurous daydreamer," 1950, from title character in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," short story by U.S. author James Thurber (1894-1961) first published in the "New Yorker" March 18, 1939.

text: Quintiles announced today that it has been recognized as one of Europe's Best Workplaces by the Great Place to Work ® Institute, finishing in 8th place in the Best "Multinational Large" Workplace category. Quintiles was also recognized this year in several individual European countries including Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Great Place to Work Institute annual ranking is the most comprehensive study in organizational culture in the world. More than 2,100 companies representing 1 million employees participated in the 2012-13 Best Workplaces study in Europe. This year's recognition marks Quintiles' third appearance on the European Great Places to Work list. Quintiles Chief Administrative Officer and Head of the Europe, Middle East and Africa Board, Mike Mortimer said, "We are incredibly proud of our teams across Europe, who have made this possible. We have a passionate workforce that applies its unique knowledge and expertise everyday to help solve the issue of patient health around the world." The Great Place to Work launched the first Best Companies to Work For list in conjunction with Fortune magazine in the United States and Exame in Brazil more than 20 years ago. Great Place to Work now recognises workplaces in nearly 50 countries. To be recognized as a "Multinational Large" Workplace, a minimum of 1,000 employees worldwide must complete the survey, the company must have been recognized as a Great Workplace on at least three national lists, and at least 40% of the company's employees must work outside the country where the company is headquartered. "Companies in this year's ranking are developing organizational cultures dedicated to building trust and camaraderie among their employees," said Robert Levering, co-founder and global CEO of Great Place to Work. "Inclusion on this list reflects companies' commitment to continuously improving the quality of life of employees and setting new standards for organisations in the future."

DSEF recently launched a new round of research projects to address the emerging educational needs of our membership. Based on input from direct selling CEOs and senior industry executives, the DSEF Research Program Task Force identified four research priorities:
In addition, DSA members can access our archive of research papers (link to archive) and case studies (link to archive).
Active Research
DSEF's Research Program funds academic research to provide knowledge that is applicable to daily direct selling operations while supporting the research interests of academics who are shaping our future industry leaders.
To continue providing relevant knowledge to DSA member firms, DSEF's Research Program Task Force—with input from direct selling CEOs and senior industry executives—identified four research priorities.
DSEF invited scholars from across the nation to participate in our newly focused research program. Following is a summary of the research projects funded in support of the four research priorities.
Research Priority 1: Consumer Behavior Topics Relevant to the Direct Selling Industry
Project Title: Developing an Immersive 3D Environment (Virtual World) for the Training & Support of Representatives in Direct Selling
Michael Solomon, Ph.D., Professor of Marketing, Director, Center for Consumer Research, Erivan K. Haub School of Business, Saint Joseph's University; Professor of Consumer Behaviour at the Manchester School of Business; Natalie T. Wood, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Erivan K. Haub School of Business, Saint Joseph's University
Project Description:
This research project explores the capabilities of an immersive 3D environment (a.k.a. "virtual world") for training and supporting independent representatives in a direct selling environment. The goal is to provide a highly cost-efficient and engaging way to enable participants to role-play sales presentations in a risk-free environment prior to conducting actual sales calls. This virtual program uses the best of technology and current sales training to yield real-world benefits.
Research Priority 2: Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability as Part of Ethics
Project Title: Advancing Environmental Sustainability in Direct Selling
Mark Starik, Ph.D., Department Chair and Professor of Strategic Management & Public Policy, George Washington University School of Business; Interim Director, GW Institute for Sustainability, Research, Education, & Policy; Director, GW Institute for Corporate Responsibility, Environmental Sustainability Program
Project Description:
This research project assesses the "ecological footprint" of the industry by focusing on the environmental sustainability goals, strategies and operations of the organizations and individuals involved in the direct selling of goods and services in the United States. Mounting evidence suggests that firms that practice sustainability experience stronger customer relationships and loyalty, especially among members of Generation Y and younger. The purpose of this project is to recommend initial strategies that would advance effective organizational environmental sustainability and provide high value for direct selling firms.
Research Priority 3: Selling and the Management of the Selling Function
Project Title: Organizational Identification and the Social Network Phenomena in the Field of Direct Selling
Michael Ahearne, Ph.D., Professor of Marketing, Executive Director, Sales Excellence Institute, Marketing Department Ph.D. Coordinator, Department of Marketing and Entrepreneurship, C.T. Bauer College of Business, University of Houston
Project Description:
This comprehensive study evaluates the levels of organizational and job identifications among large samples of independent representatives connected to an established direct selling firm. The goal is to design managerial techniques and guidelines that improve independent representatives' job satisfaction, in-role performance and organizational commitment.
Considering that informal networks play critical roles in the direct selling context, the study focuses on determining how these networks form among direct salespeople, and what factors determine the growth and strength of such networks in the long term. The findings will provide insights for managers in designing strategies to enable independent representatives to build and maintain more productive and efficient social networks. Ultimately, direct selling firms will gain through a better understanding of how to promote social networks to strengthen relationships, enhance retention, and possibly impact performance/productivity.
Research Priority 4: Women's Entrepreneurship/Leadership
Project Title: The Influence of Family Orientation on Direct Selling Entrepreneurs
Teresa Nelson, Ph.D., Elizabeth J. McCandless Chair in Entrepreneurship, Director of the Entrepreneurship Program, Simmons College School of Management
Project Description:
Background: The direct selling organizational structure is noted for the relational aspect of its sales process. In addition to the direct person-to-person sales interaction that is the hallmark of the industry, about two-thirds of all direct sales representatives in the United States also generate income from the network of distributed sales representatives that they have built and also take some role in managing on an ongoing basis. These networks, in concert with but largely independent of the parent source firms, manage a sales flow-through of products and services that generated $30 billion in revenue in the United States in 2008.
Current Project: How social capital ties, as expressed in the theoretical concept of "familiness," impact the structuring of the above-mentioned relational, distributed networks among sales representatives is the topic of this research. This exploration has important implications for direct selling firms. In focus is the role of relationships in growing and maintaining a sales force of entrepreneurial independent representatives and, by extension, sales and profits for both the entrepreneur and the direct selling organization.

Volcanic eruptions are one of Earth's most dramatic and violent agents of change. Not only can powerful explosive eruptions drastically alter land and water for miles around a volcano, but tiny liquid droplets of sulfuric acid erupted into the stratosphere can change our planet's climate temporarily. Eruptions often force people living near volcanoes to abandon their land and homes, sometimes forever. Those living farther away are likely to avoid complete destruction, but their cities and towns, crops, industrial plants, transportation systems and electrical grids can still be damaged by volcanic debis (tephra, lahars) and flooding.
Even with our improved ability to identify hazardous areas and warn of impending eruptions, increasing numbers of people face volcanic danger. Clearly, scientists face a formidable challenge in providing reliable and timely warnings of eruptions to so many people at risk. The best preparation is to simply heed the warnings given by scientists who specialize in this arena. Evacuation is the best way to protect yourself and your family.
A general term for fragments of volcanic rock and lava that, regardless of size, are blasted into the air by explosions or carried upward by hot gases in an eruption column. Such fragments range in size from less than 1/10 of a millimeter to more than one meter in diameter. Large tephra falls back to the ground on or close to the volcano, and progressively smaller tephra are carried farther away by wind. Volcanic ash, the smallest tephra fragments, can be carried hundreds to thousands of kilometers from a volcano.
An Indonesian term that describes a hot or cold mixture of water and rock fragments flowing down the slopes of a volcano and/or river valleys. When moving, lahars look like masses of wet concrete that carry rock debris ranging in size from clay to gravel to boulders more than 10 meters in diameter. Eruptions may trigger lahars directly by quickly melting snow and ice or ejecting water from a crater lake. More often, lahars are formed by intense rainfall during or after an eruption; rainwater can easily erode loose volcanic rock and soil on hillsides and in river valleys. No matter how a lahar forms, as it flows downstream, it will always change its speed, size and relative amount of water and rock debris.
Streams of molten rock that either extrude quietly from a vent or are fed by lava fountains. Lava flows destroy everything in their path, but most move slowly enough that people can move out of the way. Fluid basalt flows may extend tens of kilometers from their source, and the leading edges of basalt flows can move at velocities as much as 10 kilometers per hour on steep slopes. Basalt ('bA-"'solt) is a dark gray to black, dense to fine-grained igneous rock. The flow front of a basalt flow on a shallow slope typically advances less than one kilometer per hour. Where basalt lava flows are confined within channels or lava tubes, however, velocities can reach over 30 miles per hour. Viscous andesite ('an-di-"zIt) flows move only a few kilometers per hour and rarely extend more than 8 kilometers from their vent. Viscous dacite and rhyolite flows often form steep-sided mounds called lava domes right over an erupting vent. Andesite, dacite and rhyolite are all very acidic volcanic rock.
High-density mixtures of hot, dry rock fragments and hot gases that move away from the vent that erupted them at high speeds. They may result from the explosive eruption of molten or solid rock fragments, or both. They may also result from the non-explosive eruption of lava when parts of dome or thick lava flow collapses down a steep slope. Most pyroclastic flows consist of two parts: a basal flow of coarse fragments that moves along the ground, and a turbulent cloud of ash that rises above the basal flow. Ash may fall from this cloud over a wide area downwind from the pyroclastic flow.
Large masses of rock and soil that fall slide or flow very rapidly under the force of gravity. These mixtures can move in a wet or dry state, or both. Landslides commonly originate as massive rockslides or avalanches, which during movement disintegrate into fragments ranging in size from small particles to enormous blocks hundreds of meters across. If the landslide consists of enough water and clay particles, the landslide may transform into a lahar as it travels down a river valley.
All magmas contain dissolved gases that are released into the atmosphere during and between eruptions. Water vapor is the most abundant gas released, followed by carbon dioxide and sulfur gases (predominantly sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide). Magma also releases minor amounts of others gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid. The two most hazardous volcanic gases to people, animals, agriculture and property are sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. Sulfur dioxide gas can lead to acid rain downwind from a volcano. Large explosive eruptions that inject tremendous volumes of sulfur dioxide gas into the stratosphere can contribute to global cooling. Since carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air and collects in soil and low spots, people and animals walking into these low areas may suffocate and vegetation may die. Also, a few historic eruptions have released sufficient fluorine-compounds gas to deform or kill animals grazing in areas of ash fall; the fluorine compounds tend to be concentrated on fine-grained ash particles.

As I said, apart from its WiFi capabilities the S50c is a fairly simple camera, with a very limited set of features. Shooting modes are limited to automatic, high-ISO mode for low light shooting, video mode (VGA 30fps) and scene mode, which has 15 scene programs, including most common ones, such as portrait, landscape, sports, fireworks etc. In normal shooting mode menu options are limited to image size and quality, white balance, sensitivity, Best Shot Selector, a limited palette of colour options, and drive mode, which includes continuous shooting, 16-in-1 burst mode and an interval timer. The only other two noteworthy functions are the VR optical image stabilisations system, which provides a reliable 2-3 stops of extra stability at low shutter speeds, and the face detection system, which is useful for portrait shots.
For such a simple camera the S50c is surprisingly slow. It takes around four seconds to start up, which is a long time considering it has a non-extending lens. In continuous shooting mode it can manage approximately one shot a second with a decent memory card, but in single-shot mode the shot-to-shot cycle time is approximately four seconds a shot, which is much slower than most comparable compacts. The main reason for this, and to be honest I'm getting sick of saying this, is the bloody awful AF system that Nikon has for some reason decided to inflict on all of its compact cameras. Even in good light, with a high-contrast stationary subject and at medium range, the S50c took well over a second to focus, hunting backwards and forwards through the focal range at least twice. Zooming in slowed it down even more. In low light the focusing is helped by an AF assist lamp with a range of about three metres, but the focusing slows down even more still, taking as long as four or five seconds to focus.
Image quality was average at best, with image noise visible on shots even at the minimum of 100 ISO, and visible compression artefacts in pictures even at the maximum quality setting. While exposure was generally accurate, colour reproduction was a bit under-saturated and generally lacked contrast. The overall level of detail was also quite low for a 7MP camera, but while the lens wasn't the sharpest Nikkor glass I've ever seen, it was at least consistent, providing reasonable sharpness from edge to edge, albeit with a lot of barrel distortion at the wide-angle end.
The CoolPix S50c is an attractive and well-made camera, and the WiFi capability is both useful and easy to use, but its sluggish performance, unimpressive picture quality and very slow AF system are major problems. Considering the price, unless you really want that wireless connectivity it's a hard camera to recommend.

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Yesterday I was informed by the Department of Social Services that my husband is required to take his Social Security Retirement income of 1149 a month "now" rather than "wait" until later when he is 68 and get 1500 a month. He can wait, but he can not get welfare from the state taxpayers, while sitting on income that he could be taking. Thus, he can make that choice of NOT taking his retirement income now, but it will be a "countable" source, which will likely put him over the threshhold of low income, making him ineligible for some or all welfare benefits.
We have been receiving benefits such as Food stamps (SNAP), Medicaid (Husky C for him and Husky D for me) ......based on our income without social security retirement income. The rule is that once we turn 62 and are eligible to collect SS, that amount will be imputed to our numbers, when determining if we are destitute enough to take the welfare.
The Social Security administration (SS) confirmed that medicaid eligibility is based on "available" income. Correct.
Therefore, because it is "available" ..... are we forced to take the 1149 and don't have a choice to wait. Is this right? No, you can wait, you can even wait until age 70 so your benefit will be 32% greater than the amount you'd take at 66, but you will lose whatever benefits you are not entitled to by virtue of having that money sitting there for you, akin to having it sitting in a bank account - it is definitely counted as such. By analogy, let's say we are the beneficiaries of an annuity that pays us $1100/month - we are not permitted to give up that money and send it elsewhere, while expected not to be credited with it as income we could be getting so we don't have to take welfare (which is limiting others from income, in theory, as it can only stretch so far).
Already Tried: I googled the issue to death and all I could find was SSI issues for people with disabilities. I wanted to check with you because Medicaid might have different rules than SSI. DSS said that if we ignored the letter and didn't put in for retirement, my being the wife of the applicant, "a deemer" my Husky D might be safe. Medicaid is different in some ways, in that the income maximum can differ, usually higher, than the SSI limit, which is low.
However, because your husband will lose his welfare benefits if his available income is too high, if he really wants to avoid taking the reduced SSA retirement amount if he is under 66, and especially if he wants it to be 32% HIGHER than what the "full" amount would be, if he can work, even PT, enough to replace what he is missing, he can earn those SSA 'delayed retirement credits' and really provide a great benefit for later, when he likely needs it more. That is, of course, presuming he is not confined to a bed or otherwise severely disabled. Just an idea! I know it is hard.
I hope this helps! My goal is to provide you with excellent and accurate service – if you feel you have gotten anything less, please reply back, I am happy to address follow-up questions. Kindly rate me "excellent" when you are done. I look forward to assisting you in the future, should you have legal questions.

Getting the Best Accident Attorneys
As a victim of an accident, you are advised to get an attorney that will provide you with the best representation. It is important for you to take caution when accepting referrals from people that you do not know since they could be trying to help the attorney get a client without taking his or her performance into consideration. Normally, referrals provide you with a good way of getting the attorney you need. This is especially is an attorney has provided people you know with quality services in their cases. It is important that you consider the experience of the attorney. The experience of accident attorneys should be relevant to accidents.
You need to make sure that you choose a qualified attorney to take care of your case. There are different types of complex and technical issues involved in accident cases, and it is important for you to get an attorney that has the experience and the expertise of dealing with such issues. Many cases involving accident are usually settled out of court. However, some cases can be settled in court. If your case is more than likely going to go through trial, you need to make sure that you hire an attorney that will provide you with quality representation and one with trial experience. Go!!
A percentage of the settlement that clients are awarded in these cases is usually used to pay accident attorneys. This is usually known as the contingency basis and it comes after the completion of the case. While there are attorneys that might work well on their cases because they are motivated by the contingency fee, there are those who might be more concerned about the number of cases they have since they are trying to make more money. Find out more about this when you review the site at http://www.ehow.com/info_8163194_questions-accident-lawyer.html. In such a case, the attorney might have many cases and you should make sure that you choose an attorney who has a manageable caseload.

An attorney can have the legal expertise and the ability to advice you, which should not stop him or her from allowing you to make the final decision. If the attorney is not after your interests, you need to make sure that you get another attorney. It is important that you get an attorney that is willing to work with you.

Payday Loans aren't particularly favored, however they do offer cash for those who really need it. It is important to have understanding about Payday Loans. This article contains many ideas to use when it comes to payday cash advances.
When trying to attain a payday loan as with any purchase, it is wise to take your time to shop around. Different places have plans that vary on interest rates, and acceptable forms of collateral.Try to find a loan that works in your greatest interest.
Before taking out a loan, always check the lenders reputation over the BBB. There are many sketchy companies that scam people who need help. It is worth your time to check out the company and verify actually reputable.
Many payday cash lenders will advertise that they may not reject the job due to your credit history. Many times, this really is right. However, make sure you look into the interest rate, they are charging you. The interest rates will be different according to your credit score. If your credit score is bad, get ready for a higher interest.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
If you get injured in any type of accident, it's only natural that you will feel compelled to talk about it. And that's fine if you trust who you are talking to. You need to limit those discussions to people you trust.
If you have a lawsuit, or are thinking of filing one, to recover against the person or company that caused your injury, do not to talk about the lawsuit with anyone other than your lawyers. It's fair to ask, "Why can't I talk about it?"
Let me try to explain:
First, you don't want anything used against you in court. You've heard the phrase (hopefully just on TV or in the movies): "Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law." That's the warning suspects are told by when they are arrested. The same sentiment applies in the civil realm. Remember "anything you say" truly means anything. Notice that the warning does include the following provisos: "…provided that what was said is offered to the court within in the proper context."
Second, you do not want to waive your privilege with your attorney. Remember that discussions between you and your attorney are privileged and confidential. Meaning, no one is entitled to learn about what is said in these discussions. This even applies to any discussions you have with a potential attorney that you are considering hiring. If you tell others what you talk about with your attorney you just might waive your privilege to confidentiality. Do not do that.
Additionally, you do not want your lawsuit to change the relationships to people you know.
The only time you would ever want to talk about something you and your attorney spoke of is if you believe that attorney breached his or her duty to you and you are speaking with a different attorney about the first attorney's misconduct. We'd like to think this is a rare event, but we know that attorneys are capable of negligence and misconduct, and in the proper circumstances are a proper defendant when they've mishandled your case. So here is the general rule of thumb: Don't talk about your personal injury lawsuit with anyone except your lawyers.
To learn more, read this article that talks about ** the four main things you need to do to win your case**.

Cedar City • "Love's Labour's Lost" might be called the problem play of Shakespeare's comedies.
When Don Adriano's page, Moth, says, "They have been at a great feast of language and stolen the scraps," she identifies a principal challenge in staging this early comedy.
Although this play offers the seeds that will flower and bear fruit in comedies like "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Much Ado About Nothing," it is talky, and much of its wit and wordplay are either highly intellectual or rely on out-of-date allusions.
The production that opened recently at the Utah Shakespeare Festival deftly sidesteps these pitfalls through the animated, playful performances of its ensemble cast and the straightforward vision of director Laura Gordon, who trimmed the excess verbiage so that the play firmly focuses on the adventures and misadventures of its young lovers.
The youthful king of Navarre and his courtiers have taken a vow to renounce all distractions, especially women, so they can concentrate on their studies. When the princess of France and her ladies suddenly arrive, the young men discover their impulsive decision may not have been a good idea.
After a series of encounters featuring the familiar Shakespearean devices of disguise, mistaken identity, overblown poems and misdelivered letters, the men decide to take a different direction. As the articulate Berowne puts it, "Let us once lose our oaths to find ourselves, or else we lose ourselves to keep our oaths."
The play's peripheral characters give Shakespeare the chance to poke fun at a pedantic schoolmaster and "a fantastical Spaniard" and stage an entertaining play within a play.
Intensifying the play's romantic atmosphere are Robert Mark Morgan's ornate garden set with its formal staircase and fountain; Donna Ruzika's warm, natural lighting; and Rachel Laritz's stylish Regency-era costumeswith their array of whites, blues and browns. Stephanie Ivers contributes some clever choreography for the Muscovites' dance.
The cast members play off one another smoothly and perceptively. Quinn Mattfeld and Melissa Graves are attractively matched as the idealistic king and spirited princess. Melinda Pfundstein and Matt Mueller manage to make their barbed bantering simultaneously pointed and affectionate, prefiguring Beatrice and Benedick in "Much Ado." Matt Zambrano's Don Adriano is zany and full of himself, and Melisa Pereyra's hilarious facial expressions as Moth create an entire comic subtext. Jeanne Paulsen's Boyet is motherly and fun-loving. Henry Woronicz infuses Holofernes with an infectious love of learning that keeps him from becoming overbearing. Chris Klopatek's Costard is mischievous and inventive, and Thomas J. Novak's Dull is a delightful dolt.
In her director's notes, Gordon says, "I'm very drawn to the theme of balance within the play … head and heart, wit and wisdom, joy and sorrow, love and loss." This charming production achieves that balance, revealing that you can't always control what happens in your life; you have to be open to suggestions.
'Love's Labour's Lost'
Utah Shakespeare Festival's charming production demonstrates that staging a problem play doesn't have to be a problem.
When • Reviewed July 1; continues in rotating repertory with two other productions Monday-Saturday at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees through Aug. 31.
Where • Adams Shakespearean Theatre at the Utah Shakespeare Festival on the campus of Southern Utah University, 300 West and Center Street, Cedar City. Matinees are in the Auditorium Theatre.
Tickets • $23-$72 with discounts for groups, students, and seniors. Available at 800-PLAYTIX (752-9849) or www.bard.org

Most of the Club's on-loan players are heading back to Emirates Stadium now the Premiership and Championship seasons are over. However, Arturo Lupoli remains with Derby County as the Rams continue their promotion quest via the play-offs. Read on for the latest news...

Arturo Lupoli
Southampton 1-2 Derby County, May 12
Arturo Lupoli did not feature as Derby took a big step towards the play-off final at St. Mary's. The Rams fell behind after seven minutes when Andrew Surman netted from 20 yards but Steve Howard turned the tie on its head. The Derby striker equalised with a looping header nine minutes before the break and fired the visitors ahead just before the hour mark with an emphatic penalty after Stephen Pearson had been fouled. Derby welcome Southampton to Pride Park on Tuesday night needing just a draw to book a place at Wembley.

Banana Pecan Dacquoise
The appeal: Silky caramel, ripe bananas, creamy vanilla custard, all oozing from a stack of crunchy meringue layers: You want only certain people to see you get this messy
Baker's tip: Dacquoise ― a cake made of crisp meringue layers ― works best if you pair it with soft, fluffy, or creamy fillings. This dessert is all about contrasts in texture.

Sounds like a simple question..., but I can't find a straight answer anywhere!
I'm looking for a 4WD, and would love to go back to Honda, whom I've always had good luck with!
I'd like to find a front wheel drive vehicle that can switch to 4WD. Do they even make such a thing?
That brings me to the CR-V. After doing some research on it, it looks like the CR-V may be front wheel drive and be able to switch to all four!
However, I can't confirm it.
So do any of the 3 generations do this?
Are there any members here that have front wheel drive - that can switch to 4WD with the driver pressing a button or something?
PS: I'm not looking for full time all wheel drive. I think some CR-Vs are like this, or is it all of them?

Meagan and John's Wedding
"I got my dress at the Washington, DC location and I can't say enough about the ladies who work there. They truly want you to find the dress of your dreams (and beleive me, they have it) and are not just out to sell you an expensive gown. They worked with my rushed schedule and had my dress ready to go in less than 5 months. Bridesmaids dresses are also beautiful and reasonably priced."
Chattanooga Wedding In October
"LOVED my dress! They were so nice and the selection is amazing."
Cara and Drew's Wedding
"I got my dress and veil from the Vienna, VA store. I give my shopping experience 5 stars, working with the lovely French sales associate, Danielle, to find my perfect dress. Her recommendation for my veil was right on too. It is a bit pricey (my veil was ~$3,000) but I found a beautiful dress that was simple and elegant for just under $2000. I went during the week I, my mother, and maid of honor had the whole store to ourselves. The dressing rooms were large and comfortable, and Danielle did not try to force anything upon us. I give it 3 stars for the five star buying experience combined with my alterations experience, which I will give 2 stars. I do NOT recommend alterations done from here. It was far to expensive (near $500 to hem my dress one inch and bustle it) and it was not ready until two days before my wedding. It was supposed to be ready a month before but the seamstress forgot about my order. So, in short, totally recommend buying your dress from here but get it altered some where else."

"Loved my dress. But the price does not come cheap. Try to get Alterations done somewhere else"

"From the moment I saw this Melissa Sweet dress in a magazine, I knew it was "me". It wasn't sold everywhere so I went to the Wynnewood location in PA. The staff there is so nice and helpful. My dress fit so perfectly when they were finished and it was just gorgeous! I would recommend this shop to anyone. The location was on Wynnewood Rd and it was very small, but I believe they just moved to a larger location in Ardmore, PA on St James Place."

Ringing in their first new year as a family, Molly Sims and her hubby Scott Stuber relaxed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with their adorable son Brooks on New Years Day (January 1).
The international supermodel looked beach casual in a floral print cover-up and black sunglasses as the proud parents doted over their six month old little man.
Speaking of the holiday, Molly took to her official website to dish about her resolutions for 2013.
"I also wanted to share my resolutions for the coming year. I figure if I post them here on the site, then you guys can hold me to them," Miss Sims wrote.
Her list of hopeful accomplishments included fitting sit ups into her daily schedule, drinking more green juice, being grateful everyday and cutting back on her cursing.
