NEW YORK (rushPRnews) 09/14/09 — Country darling Taylor Swift appeared visibly upset after rapper Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech at MTV's 'Video Music Awards' Sunday night
Irate rapper interrupts teenager's acceptance speech
By Matthew B. Zeidman
Earlier this year, rapper Kanye West promised an end to his ego-driven antics after being skewered on an episode of animated comedy "South Park." That promise went unfulfilled Sunday night, as the popular musician interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at MTV's "Video Music Awards" because he thought Beyoncé was more deserving of the award for Best Female Video.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you," West began, as he walked out on stage and took the microphone from the puzzled country singer. "I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time…one of the best videos of all time."
West shrugged and left the stage to boos from the crowd. Though audience members stood up and cheered for Swift, the 19-year-old was unable to recompose herself in time to finish the speech. Beyoncé invited Swift back onstage while accepting a different award and allowed her a second chance to address the crowd.
West later posted an apology on his official Web site, claiming that he met Swift's mother backstage after the incident and was treated to "the same thing my mother would have said."
Swift received the award for her "You Belong With Me" music video, in which she played the role of a bookish girl with a crush on her next-door neighbor, as well as the role of a catty cheerleader vying for the same object of affection.
Beyoncé was up for Best Female Video for her "Single Ladies" music video. Other nominees included Lady Gaga for "Poker Face," Kelly Clarkson for "My Life Would Suck Without You," Katy Perry for "Hot N Cold" and Pink for "So What." The winner was chosen based on viewer votes.

This was one of my "budget" purchases when our old one failed and we had little cash, however I have not been disappointed.
As I say it was not the most expensive, but unless you are the sort of cook that likes to do a whole roast dinner or wedding cake in your microwave (can you tell I am not big into cooking?), this is a sound machine.
Good Bits:
Easy to use controls and clear display
Door opens nicely - have had one before where the door was so stiff you almost pulled the unit off the worktop or spilt your food inside.
Easy to clean - nice wipedown surfaces, everything inside can go in dishwasher after explosions.
Easy to see stuff cooking - some have such opaque screens you have to keep opening up to look, but this one is OK.
Bad Bits:
Beep is piercing and actually frightens me at times! However, you won't miss it.
Defrost function is a bit complicated - you have to work out how much something weighs - what you would expect from an "entry level" machine I guess.
Overall, a good machine that has not let us down yet.
In my house the microwave is seen as one of the essential appliances within the kitchen.. however bad this may sound that is a fact that cannot be helped :) So when a couple of months ago the microwave made its last ping I knew I had to replace it as soon as I could before everyone could complain about it.
Now normally I dont spend much on the microwaves I buy normally about £20-£30 and normally within somewhere like sainsburys or tescos where you can pick one up easily. However I thought I'd better get one a bit more expensive in the hope that it would last a lot longer then the other one. I brought this microwave from currys at £70 the chrome finish looks especially nice in my kitchen as it goes with the rest of my appliances, I found I didnt even need to read the instructions on how to set it up and start using it as it is so self-explanatory from the buttons. Its a great microwave that gets foods cooked very easily and quickly, would recommend to anyone to spend that little bit of extra money as in this case money does give you quality.
A microwave is something that is seen as standard in most houses these days, in the same way that you would be surprised to see a kitchen without a washing machine in the past, I think a household without a microwave is a minority these days.
We were however, one of those households, not from my part but from others who deemed them not necessary. However, when last year, the oven broke, we knew we needed something to do hot food.
And so it was on the recommendation of Which magazine that we got this microwave. I imagine that a newer model has been released by now but I am sure that with a bit of searching you would still be able to get this, either from Amazon or maybe from end of lines from places like Comet where this was originally purchased for around £80.
I am well aware that you can get microwaves from as little as £20 but they tend not to be so reliable so I feel that it's worth spending a bit more on something that you can trust.
First to the looks of the microwave and the obvious word to me is very smart. It is a stainless steel model and would like right at home in any modern kitchen. Some cheaper microwaves can look kind of cheap and plasticy but this looks solid and dependable. The door opens to the left. It's quite heavy and you need to be quite firm with it to close it, I've tried to 'bat' it closed before and it just sprang back on me and almost knocked my food to the floor.
The panel on the side of the machine has the normal buttons. At the top is a digital display which counts down the cooking time remaining in clear blue numbers. When it's waiting to be programmed, it says 0 but after a bit of inaction, it turns itself off, very green.
There are settings for Auto Cook, Auto Defrost and normal cooking. You can choose to change the power level of cooking, say if you just want to warm something rather than heat/cook it by altering the power level, it defaults to 100W, i.e. full power each time, so you would have to change it each time you wanted it changed.
One of the most annoying things is microwaves with analogue time wheels. When you're doing something like heating mini pancakes, a 20 second job, you need it to be precise. With a digital wheel you can be, as this will count up in 10 seconds, then after 5 mins, it counts up in 30 second intervals and then after 10 minutes it counts in whole minutes. Simply spin the wheel to get the time you want, the faster you spin, the faster and higher the time increases.
Inside it's pretty standard, there's the 'prongs', then a good size plate. I have yet to have the plate unlevel itself and come of the prongs unlike other ones I have used which is good because that can lead to the food spilling out all over the microwave which is such a mess to clean. As with all microwaves, it does get a bit messy but a soapy cloth and then a wet cloth to finish and leaving the door open to dry sorts that out.
I am yet to have issues with cooking food, at 800W model, it's not slow and cooks evenly. Everything I have done so far, and that's quite a bit, has come out as it should, i.e hot and cooked all through right the way down and around.
So far, so good...

Hand Me Another Basket (6 of 7) by Jeff Schreve
This content is part of a series.Hand Me Another Basket (6 of 7)
Series: Unleashing The Power Of God
Jeff Schreve
John 15:1-11
We are finishing our series today that we've been in for the last several weeks called, "Unleashing the Power of God." Today, I want to share a message from John chapter 15 called, "Hand Me Another Basket."
If you have your Bibles, turn to John chapter 15 and I want us to stand together in honor of the Word of God. Would you do that with me? Stand as we read His Word. Jesus said this just hours before He went to the cross: "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up, and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Abide in My love. If you will keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full." You may be seated.
In the wonderful, masterful little book, Secrets of the Vine, written by Bruce Wilkinson, he takes the reader on a little journey to a vineyard. And he says to picture going in the vineyard at harvest time. And suppose you and I were to go in the vineyard at harvest time. I' ...

Bulldog Baseball Recruiting Class Grows By Six
Nov. 16, 2010
ATHENS---The University of Georgia baseball recruiting class added six more signees Tuesday, and this latest group includes top rated players in South Carolina and Tennessee, according to coach David Perno.
Pitcher Jarrett Brown, outfielder Hunter Cole, pitcher Luke Crumley, catcher/infielder Nicky Delmonico, outfielder DJ Smith and pitcher David Sosebee, all have signed a national letter-of-intent to attend UGA.
A 6-3, 180-pound left-handed pitcher, Jarrett is the son of James and Misty Brown of Conyers, Ga. He attends Salem High School where he plays for coach Chad Kitchens. Brown is a multi-sport star for the Seminoles, earning letters in baseball, football and basketball. As a junior on the diamond, he went 6-3 with a three saves, a 3.24 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 54 innings. He helped the Seminoles to an 18-10 mark and a second place finish in the region and the Class AAAA state playoffs. He earned the team's Cy Young Award and was named All-Region and All-County. Also, he was an All-Region 8-AAAA selection as a defensive back.
"I'm extremely honored to be considered by the University of Georgia, and in the end, it came down to feeling the most comfortable with the coaching staff," said Brown. "I look forward to the challenge of competing in the SEC."
"Jarrett is the best athlete of the bunch and very unique that he chose baseball for college because of his many talents," said Perno. "He's an old-school all-around athlete, playing quarterback, wide receiver, defensive back on the football team, the point guard on the basketball team and ace left-handed pitcher for the baseball team. He is definitely a guy that can contribute right away."
A 6-1, 185-pound right-handed hitter, Hunter is the son of Jack and Cheryl Cole of Moore, S.C. He is the top-ranked prep player in South Carolina and 28th in the country according to Perfect Game's national rankings. He batted .458 with nine home runs and 31 RBI as a junior for the Dorman High School Cavaliers and coach Benjamin Waddle.
"Hunter might be the best hitter in the country, he's a really good baseball player and an outstanding student," said Perno. "We're going to take a hard look at him as a centerfielder, but he can play anywhere. He has a great approach as a hitter and has the ability to put up huge numbers in college. When you combine his academics and his athletic talent, he's an exciting prospect."
A 6-5, 190-pound right-hander, Luke is the son of Landry and Cindy Crumley of Cleveland, Ga. He attends White County High School where he plays for coach John Brown. He helped the Warriors post a 19-8 record last season as they advanced to the GHSA state playoffs. He is rated the number eight prep player in Georgia by Perfect Game. He was named to the 7-AAA All-Region squad and All-Area team after going 5-3 with a 2.98 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 47 innings pitched. Also, he batted .416 with 10 home runs and 31 RBI. As a sophomore, he led the Warriors with 48 strikeouts in 34.2 innings pitched and had a 3.63 ERA.
"Luke is a tall right-hander with a good arm who projects well," said Perno. "His best baseball is ahead of him, and we're glad he will be at Georgia where we can help him develop."
A 6-3, 210-pound left-handed hitter, Nicky is the son of Barbara Delmonico-Courtney and Rod Delmonico of Knoxville, Tenn. He has helped lead Farragut High School to three straight state Class AAA titles under the direction of coach Matt Buckner. For the past two summers, he has played for the USA national team and won two gold medals for Team USA at the Pan American Junior Championships. He was a member of the 16U team in 2008 and the 18U squad in 2009. Also, he participated in the Under Armour High School All-American game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. He was featured in an August issue of Sports Illustrated for best up-and-coming prep athletes. He is rated among the top prep players in the country by Perfect Game. He has two older brothers, Tony who is in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization after a standout career at Tennessee and Florida State, and Joey, a junior catcher on the current Bulldog squad. Nicky's father Rod served as the University of Tennessee baseball coach from 1990-2007.
"Nicky is one of the highest rated prospects in our class and is a very versatile player," said Perno. "Catching might be his future. He is an excellent left-handed hitter who also plays shortstop and first base. He comes from a very talented family and has been around the game his whole life. We're thrilled to have him choose Georgia."
A 6-2, 185-pound right-handed hitter, DJ is the son of Dave Smith and Sharon Riddick of Woodstock, Ga. He is an honor student at Sequoyah High School in Canton, Ga., where he plays for coach Joseph Jones. He batted a team-best .403 with 25 RBI in leading the Chiefs to the state playoffs as a sophomore. They went 16-12, and he earned first team All-Region and All-County honors as well as offensive MVP. As a junior, he hit .317-2-7. Also, DJ has lettered in football and has earned academic honors including the Lamp of Knowledge.
"The history and reputation of UGA and the baseball program is second to none," said Smith. "It's a dream to have the opportunity to compete in the SEC."
"DJ is an athletic outfielder who can really play a number of positions around the diamond," said Perno. "He has tremendous offensive prowess. He can hit, he has some pop, he runs well, he is a solid baseball player."
A 6-1, 180-pound right-hander, David is the son of Todd and Rena Sosebee of Cleveland, Ga. He is enrolled at White County High School where he plays for coach John Brown. Sosebee helped the Warriors register a 19-8 record last season as they advanced to the GHSA state playoffs. He was named to the 7-AAA All-Region squad and All-Area team after going 7-1 with a 0.76 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched. He led WCHS in wins and ERA.
"David is a strike-thrower, and his stuff has been getting better each year," said Perno. "He has the right mentality and is a great fit for our pitching staff. He is a high school teammate of Luke (Crumley), and we're looking forward to having them both at Georgia."
The early national signing period continues through Nov. 17, and the Bulldogs will announce additional members of their recruiting class throughout the week.

"I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Route 66 was always a part of my life. But it wasn't until I became an adult that I started to appreciate its history. When I moved to Los Angeles as a young actor, I used to drive back to Oklahoma on I-40 because I felt like I had to get there fast. In the last ten years or so, though, I've found myself wanting to slow down and enjoy the experience. I had never driven the entire length (it's around 2,400 miles), but since I'm a spokesperson for the World Monuments Fund, and Route 66 is one of the sites the WMF wants to protect and repair, I flew to Chicago with my son and we took the trip of a lifetime together.
"On a two-week drive, you really begin to understand America's vastness: from the lushness of Illinois to the plains of Texas, the mesas of New Mexico to the cacti of California. The most beautiful driving is around Sitgreaves Pass, in Arizona. It's like going back in time, through winding roads and rock formations. My son just kept looking out the window. Whenever we stopped, people wanted to talk. 'Where are you going? Where are you coming from?' The journey doesn't end."
Jeanne Tripplehorn stars in the HBO series Big Love, as well as in Morning (in theaters spring 2010). The World Monuments Fund has partnered with American Express (T+L's parent company) to provide funding for Route 66 projects.
"The Ariston Café (
lunch for two $20) opened in 1924, and it's never really changed. It's the oldest restaurant on Route 66."
"We stopped at Pops (
sodas from $2), which has a 66-foot-tall pop-bottle sign out front and sells over 500 types of soda."
"Cadillac Ranch (
free admission) is a truly American art installation. Ten grafitti-covered Cadillacs are buried halfway in the ground."
"I picked up a silver belt buckle and Indian turquoise bracelets at Richardson's Trading Co.
Great Value "Rooms at La Posada Hotel (
doubles from $99) are named for famous guests. We slept in the Amelia Earhart suite."

Wherever there are chemistry finals being taken, there is prayer in school.
They (the congress knows) that a full all out Civil War will commence if they ban anything. I do not expect this to pass. That is inevitable looking at the tensions of everyone who values liberty, freedom, right to life and happiness and property, and more importantly those who take an Oath to support and defend our Constitution seriously and even to the grave. NO matter how pessimistic you might be that we are all loon bats for saying this history comes around full circle.
Take a Gadsden flag snake emblem for a visual adventure with me for a second:
1.The Snake lies peacefully slumber in his ways. (American's in general)
2. Someone comes along and gets too close and encroaches on the snakes personal space. (Gov't taxes us heavily, regulates everything we do, and then tells us they are going to ban assault rifles, and pass nearly 23 unconstitutional draconian executive orders)
3. Snake coils up and sounds a full speed rattle, warning if you come any closer, if you put one foot closer to me than you already are, if you decide to put any pressure on me more so than you already are, if you "tread on me" I will strike with all my power and use all my venom to stop you. (American people arming up to the teeth, not buying guns to try and get that last chance at a nice hunting rifle, but arming up getting ready to fight for liberties where and when and if needed - look at the MASSIVE gun and AMMO buying frenzy going on).
4. Snake gets stepped on, warnings were not heeded too. Snake strikes with full ferocity and venom is used, victim is seriously hurt and maybe killed, snake might die in the process but snake fought with all his might and he died a free snake fighting for his life and liberty from being stepped on, probably defending his children and home, and did so fearlessly and with a just and moral cause. (what might happen if the government steps on our rights and liberties any more, the rattle is already sounding a warning, and any further infringement of our most beloved 2nd amendment will be taken seriously and violently, free men have everything to fight for and will do so to the bitter end, this my friends is 100% historically accurate).
So in summary, "Don't tread on me"
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan

A poll for those who carry a SA/DA gun w/decoker

A poll for those who carry a SA/DA gun w/decoker
Are you talking about a safety/decocker lever, like on a Beretta or a Bersa?
Some Da/Sa's only have a de-cocker that does not act as a safety (think sig). For my Sigs I de-cock the hammer, and carry it as is.
I have a decocker both on my HK USP Compact and my Walther P99 pistols. I carry both pistols with a round in the chamber but "decocked" into Double Action mode. Therefore, my safety is the trigger.
On my 4566, the decocker automatically returns to the"fire" position. It does not operate as a "safety." On my CZ-82, the safety won't engage unless the hammer is cocked, so off in DA mode. The Glock is, as always, ready to rock.
The decocker on my Berettas, also serves as a safety , but I rarely use it as such.
My CZ P-01 and P-06 are both de-cocker models and do not have a manual safety. Both are designed to be carried hammer down. First round fired in double action mode, subsequent shots fired in SA mode.
My 24/7 has both a safety and a decocker. I carry it in SA mode with just the safety on.
I have thought about carrying it decocked with the safety off, basically DA, but everything else I carry besides revolvers are SA with safety on, so I stick with at common form of carry.
Oh, and the last option, cocked with the safety disengaged is probably not the best way to carry.
There should be an option for cocked with safety engaged, that is what I would vote if it was available.
P64 has a decocking safety... blocks the hammer when engaged, decocks if cocked. At~20-24# pull DA, that's plenty of safety from a ND for me. It's almost as easy to cock the hammer.
CZ82 as mentioned above... safety only works on a cocked hammer... I carry it uncocked and safety off.
When I carried a S&W 5906 on duty and 6906 off duty it was hammer down, safety disengaged, double action first shot.
a decocker is not a safety, double action should be carried hammer down.
When I did carry my p89 it was "Hammer down with safety disengaged" and progressed to "one inthe pipe". At first it was "Hammer down with safety engaged with one in the pipe."

The filling of the fuel bowl is controlled by a needle and seat arrangement that is sensitive to pressure and although Holley carbs can stand just a little more pressure than, for instance, the Carter AFB/Edelbrock design, you can still introduce only about 6 1/2 psi MAXIMUM PRESSURE into the carb inlet before you overpower the needle and seat and blow raw fuel into the intake manifold. I generally recommend a maximum of 5 psi just to be on the safe side. With carburetors, you need to concentrate on high volume, not high pressure.
What you'll want to do is to tee off at either of the carb inlets and run a small copper line back to the firewall, then up past the hood lip and to the cowl. On the cowl, temporarily mount a mechanical 0-15 psi liquid-filled fuel pressure gauge so that you can monitor the pressure going into the carbs by reading the gauge through the windshield as you drive. The better the quality of the gauge, the better the resolution you will get from it. The mounting system for the gauge won't have to be fancy unless you intend to make it permanent. You can make do with duct tape and tie wraps just for getting the pressure under control, then removing the line and gauge. Personally, I would want to keep it there permanently, but that's just me.
thanks for the reply . i have done all of this and i have just installed a red top holley electric pump . then pressure reg and a fuel pressure guage. i am showing 6psi and will take your point and lower it to 5.5psi just to be on the safe side . whats your thoughts on the jets and timming ? cheers

Matt Damon Kidnaps Jimmy Kimmel
Posted on January 25, 2013In the funniest Jimmy Kimmel Live episode ever to air, Matt Damon took his revenge on Kimmel for all those years of Kimmel cutting Damon out of the show with the excuse that he was out of time. Matt kidnapped Jimmy, tied him up and made him watch helplessly as he hosted the entire show, replaced Guillermo with Andy Garcia, the band leader with Cheryl Crow, and interviewed Oscar winner after Oscar winner with style and panache. Here is the opening sequence, which is a little scarier than it normally would be because Matt is such a good actor. Take a look:

LeWeb Startup Competition Winner, Beintoo CEO, Antonio Tomarchio talks with mobiSights about startup growth, the competition, China plans and even, incompetent Italian politicians.
Apparently, I'm not the only one that thinks Beintoo is innovative. If you saw my post a few days ago on the most innovative mobile apps and services, you might have noticed that I put this relatively unknown Italian company on the list. Yesterday, that same company just won the startup competition at LeWeb. Guess they're not so unknown anymore.
A few weeks ago, the CEO of Beintoo, Antonio Tomarchio along with Rosella Dacoma and Shirley Lin dropped by The Great Wall Club and we spent some time chewing the fat and brainstorming about Beintoo's current and future business in China. Though it took a few minutes to fully understand their model, by the end of our meeting I was convinced that Beintoo's unique gamification platform improves both the user's experience and the developer's monetization ability.
To clearly explain why I (and now the rest of the world) think Beintoo is so innovative, check out the below interview that I did with Antonio last week.
What is Beintoo?
Beintoo is the first do-it-yourself mobile gamification and rewards technology that creates a true gamification layer. Developers can use a set of SDKs or our APIs to easily introduce cross-platform game mechanics such as leaderboards, social graph and social network elements, contests, challenges among users, achievements and cross-apps missions, location-based features, and more. Beintoo's technology also enables users to compete for in-app rank and reputation. Beintoo provides all the SDKs for free and offer to developers innovative "monetization game mechanics" to monetize the engagement of their users. Gamification becomes a new revenue channel. Developers can deliver sponsored rewards, such as real mobile coupons or branded virtual items, to users who achieve goals in the gamified experience, enabling developers to introduce a new, innovative monetization channel that is fully integrated in the app user experience.
Beintoo just started in January 2011 and already has over 20 million users. How are you growing so fast?
Our fast growth is due to the fact that our product is attractive for everyone: developers, consumers and brands. In the Beintoo apps-economy, you have advantages whatever your point of view. Beintoo reaches the needs of promotion and monetization of game-studios increasing engagement and loyalty, creates an innovative, very effective brand promotion and the end-users finally have a real reply to virtual successes, they get benefits and opportunities in the real word according to their virtual achievements and apps loyalty.
What is the "Apps-economy"?
Real offers and branded virtual items from brands, local retailers and other developers are distributed as rewards for virtual achievements in the gamified apps. This creates a network where developers can promote apps and monetize, brands become users-friendly and they reach customers in a playful way and players get real economic opportunities by having fun and by using their favorite apps. This is a true apps economy that creates value for the three actors: developers, advertisers and end users.
There seems to be a growing number of gaming platforms such as Openfeint (Gree) and Kiip. How does Beintoo differentiate?
We think that our approach is strongly innovative. First of all, we are a true cloud gamification service: it means that developers can use our SDKs and APIs in a completely white label way, fully integrated into their user experience, without exposing any external brand. This allows us to support the needs not only of mobile games but of all mobile apps where it is essential to integrate the game mechanics inside the app graphics and in white label. That's a major difference with products such as Openfeint.
Another differentiation is in the technology: the background of founders is in performance advertising and real time bidding marketplaces and we brought this experience to Beintoo. Beintoo monetization platform is able to aggregate several providers of rewards and engagement ads and make them compete with a real time auction mechanics. We are aiming at building a true exchange marketplace of promotion offers. This allowed us to offer monetization already now in more than 20 countries.
Developers implement a single SDK and they get dozens of monetization providers and we take care to optimize them and to put them in competition. KIIP, for example, could even be interested in working with us to become a demand partner on our inventory. So we are not in direct competition with them.
Beintoo was founded and is still headquartered in Italy. Do you feel disadvantaged as a tech startup in Italy? What are the advantages of being based in Italy? Do you feel a push to move major operations to Silicon Valley or elsewhere?
Italy is actually a country with lot of talented human resources, who often unfortunately decide to move abroad to have better opportunities. The country has lot of positive forces in technology but it does not have yet a startup ecosystem able to give support to entrepreneurs and innovating companies. This is mostly due to the high level of incompetency of our political class that ignores completely the digital economy even if it is growing at a pace of 10% per year while the rest of the economy is nearly in recession. But things are changing and a new generation of startuppers is contributing to create an international credibility for our tech industry and a positive ecosystem.
There are several advantages of being based in Italy. In particular, you can recruit very talented people at much better conditions than in Silicon Valley, and the turnover is really much lower. You can also enjoy a very good quality of life in our cities. Our plan is to move major business operations in a bigger hub in Europe, such as London or Berlin, but to keep engineering operations in Italy. We already established business operations in Silicon Valley and they will be expanded too.
You recently took a trip to China to explore opportunities. What are the 3 main things you learned?
The trip to China was very useful and let us discover many things about China and Chinese people. First of all we learnt the significance of human relationship in business, quite different from the meetings in companies in Sillicon Valley and even in Italy. It's important to remember, especially in business, that you are interacting with a human being, not only a business partner. By this way, really conversing with the other, we discovered how key is a focused localization, concerning not only the language translations but a true adapting to cultural context. Moreover, we have been able to find out and meet lots of game-studios really high-talented and skilled, successful not only in China but worldwide but unknown in the western world.
Why did you decide to begin to explore China and take this trip?
The idea to come and explore China came early, when we built the company, because we immediately realized the potential of Chinese market. For our business, it's important to reach the highest number of players using smart phones and skilled with mobiles apps and games. It was also important for us to meet China and Chinese people, and understand how to enter in the Chinese market.
What are the next steps for your growth into China?
The first goals we want to reach for our growth in China are to open a technical office there in order to support all the developers based in China in a very localized way. That's possible thanks to expansion of our developers-base and advertisers-base in China; we aim a setting of operation base in Shanghai in 2012.
What is your message to developers in China?
Our message for the developers based in China is to take part on the App-ecosystem we are building because it's a good opportunity for their apps promotion and monetization not only in China but all over the world.
Thanks and congrats to Antonio and the Beintoo team!
If you are an innovative mobile startup like Beintoo, you should apply to compete at our Global Mobile Internet Conference G-Startup Competition in Beijing in May. It's the best platform to launch your startup in Asia. Applications will open soon.

After three years in the Second Division, Yorkshire are finally mounting a serious promotion challenge, and it is starting to look irresistible.
They came into this game in the top three after consecutive victories at Worcester and Scarborough, and a dodgy weather forecast for the next two days represents Derbyshire's only realistic hope of denying them a hat-trick.
Despite another rearguard action by Michael Di Venuto, who followed his double century against Durham last week with 79, they still need 174 more to avoid following on for a fifth time this season, after Yorkshire's bowlers demonstrated that this is far from a 570 pitch.
The seven wickets have been shared between five bowlers, among whom Richard Dawson was certainly the scruffiest but probably the best.
With his unkempt blond hair and shirt flapping untucked around his waist, the 24-year-old looks more like a university student idling through the summer holidays rather than a former England off-spinner.
But the scalps of Di Venuto and Luke Sutton provided further evidence that Dawson is recapturing the confidence that brought him seven Test caps. Di Venuto left lbw to an arm ball, after two appeals had been turned down in the previous over, and Sutton was deceived in the flight and caught by Joe Sayers at short leg.
Chris Silverwood marked his return after a few weeks in the seconds by having Hassan Adnan caught behind and Graeme Welch taken one-handed at midwicket, again by Sayers, after a stubborn 42 to go with his earlier two wickets for 68 from 26 overs.
Steve Stubbings gloved a lifter from Deon Kruis, Travis Friend played round his first ball from Tim Bresnan, and Anthony McGrath underlined his all-round value by tempting Jon Moss into a loose edge to slip, breaking a third-wicket stand of 99 with DiVenuto.
Phil Jaques had gone for 219 to the day's third ball when Yorkshire batted on but with Ian Harvey biffing 17 fours in his 83 they still reached their highest Headingley total against Derbyshire.

HINTON, W.Va. – State officials plan to spray three southern West Virginia rivers this week to suppress the black fly population.
The Department of Agriculture tells media outlets that it will conduct aerial treatments Wednesday on the New, Bluestone and Greenbrier rivers, weather permitting.
The department sprays a naturally occurring bacterium called Bti on the rivers every year. The bacterium kills black fly larvae.
The black fly program began in the 1980s.

Disgraced former Olympian Oscar Pistorius broke down in tears and wailed uncontrollably on the witness stand today, forcing the judge to adjourn his murder trial for the day. The dramatic moment happened when he was recalling the night he shot and killed his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, at his South African home last year.
"I was afraid someone was going to start shooting," he testified about the moment he thought that he heard an intruder. "I heard a noise from inside the toilet. Before I knew it, I'd fired four shots at the door." Three of the four shots struck Steenkamp, killing her instantly. "That was the moment everything changed," he said. (Watch a video of the testimony below.)
"I sat over Reeva," he said while sobbing and shaking, "she wasn't breathing." This wasn't the first intensely emotional moment of the trial — Pistorius previously broke down in the courtroom when postmortem pictures of Steenkamp's bloodied body were shown.
The trial will continue tomorrow. --Jordan Valinsky
Fox News is facing mounting accusations that it is acting as a kind of "state media" for President Trump, claims that are not going to be assuaged by the president's early morning retweets. On Tuesday, President Trump shared four different Fox & Friends tweets without comment:

…And — why not — took a shot at CNN, too.
— Jeff (@JeffTutorials) June 26, 2017
On Sunday, CNN's Brian Stelter argued that Fox & Friends acts as an "infomercial" for the president. "The show is pro-Trump, anti-media, and remarkably repetitive," Stelter said. "Watching for an entire week, we saw lots of the president's friends, but almost no dissenting voices. It's all about showering Trump with positive attention and burying his perceived opponents with negative attention."
New York Times reporter Mike Forsythe was blunter. "Anyone who has reported in authoritarian countries recognizes this style of 'interview,'" he said of a recent Trump appearance on Fox & Friends. "This is state media. This is Xinhua America." Jeva Lange
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is apparently unaware of the widely cited internet adage that the person who first brings up Nazi leader Adolf Hitler automatically loses the argument — or maybe he just doesn't care about Godwin's Law. On Tuesday, North Korea's state-controlled Korean Central News Agency argued that President Trump's America First policy "is the American version of Nazism far surpassing the fascism in the last century in its ferocious, brutal, and chauvinistic nature," and "Nazism in the 21st century," comparing Trump to Hitler.
The KCNA specifically cited U.S. sanctions against North Korea tied to its nuclear weapons program, calling them "an unethical and inhumane act, far exceeding the degree of Hitler's blockade of Leningrad," and compared Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement to a violation of international norms worse than Hitler's concentration camps. "Satellite imagery shows that North Korea operates a network of prison camps, which a United Nations report in 2014 compared with 'the camps of totalitarian states of the 20th century,'" The Wall Street Journal notes dryly. "North Korea denies their existence."
Pyongyang frequently deploys belligerent language about the U.S., but this kind of verbal attack on Trump is new. "The coarsening language toward the administration, and toward the president himself, seems to reflect a slowly sharpening discussion within the regime," Robert Carlin, a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation, writes at the site 38 North. The Nazi references also come a few days before South Korea's new president, Moon Jae-in, travels to Washington to meet with Trump, and follows the death of American student Otto Warmbier, who died shortly after North Korea released him from 18 months of captivity.

As a sharp American social critic once said, "truth is stranger than fiction." Television writers are learning that the hard way, though, as the real-life drama in Washington, D.C., dominates — and entertains — the nation. "I'm very jealous," Veep showrunner David Mandel jokingly confessed to The Associated Press. "We work very hard on our scripts. They seem to be better at the job than I am."
"We are in extremely unusual times," agreed Homeland executive producer Alex Gansa, "and sometimes it feels like nothing we dramatize on Homeland can be nearly as scary as what's actually happening on the world stage."

House of Cards showrunner Frank Pugliese said: "Our job is to research and explore what's possible, then take it to the extreme to entertain and grab attention," adding: "But it's concerning when a politician feels they have to do the same thing for themselves." Melissa James Gibson, also a House of Cards showrunner, noted that watching Washington "engenders a sick impulse — 'what's he going to do today?' — where we're looking for our drama from the real-life president, as if THAT were a show."
You can't say Mark Twain didn't warn us: "Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities," he explained. "Truth isn't." Jeva Lange
On Tuesday morning, the European Commission ordered Google to pay a larger-than-expected $2.7 billion (2.42 billion euros) fine over its comparison-shopping service and ordered the search giant to change how its shopping results are displayed to end what the EU antitrust regulators have deemed illegal anti-competitive behavior. It is the largest anti-competition fine the EU has ever imposed, and more than double the $1.2 billion fine it levied on chipmaker Intel in 2009. (Intel appealed, and a final ruling is expected next year.) The European Commission gave Google 90 days to acceptably end its flagged behavior or face a penalty of 5 percent of the daily average global earnings of its parent company, Alphabet — or about $14 million a day.
"Google's strategy for its comparison shopping service wasn't just about attracting customers by making its product better than those of its rivals," EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said in a statement. "Instead, Google abused its market dominance as a search engine by promoting its own comparison shopping service in its search results, and demoting those of competitors. What Google has done is illegal under EU antitrust rules. It denied other companies the chance to compete on the merits and to innovate." Google disputed the EU's characterization of its shopping service and said it may appeal the ruling.
This is the latest EU salvo at U.S. tech giants, following punitive actions against Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook in recent years. "European regulators — whose countries have lost the game of tech, pipes, and content — are getting aggressive in trying to constrain the behemoths," suggests Axios. Though $2.7 billion is a record, "Alphabet can afford the fine," BBC News notes, as Google's parent company "currently has more than $172 billion of assets." It also has $92 billion in cash, The Associated Press says, adding that "the penalty is likely to leave a bigger dent in Google's pride and reputation than its finances." Still, Vestager said she may use the EU ruling as a template for similar complaints about Google Maps, local business listings, and flight ticket prices. Peter Weber
Pentagon memo suggests scrapping program for foreign-born recruits, exposing 1,000 to quick deportation
The Defense Department is looking into canceling enlistment contracts for 1,800 foreign-born military recruits, about 1,000 of whom no longer have valid visas, opening them to the risk of deportation, The Washington Post reports, citing an undated Pentagon memo prepared for Defense Secretary James Mattis. The memo cites what it calls heightened security threats from the immigrants in the program, Military Accessions Vital to National Interest (MAVNI), launched in 2009 to fill crucial medical and language staffing gaps by offering foreign-born recruits expedited U.S. citizenship in return for military service.
Since its launch, MANVI has brought in more than 10,400 mostly Army recruits to jobs deemed critical for military operations, though the Pentagon stepped up security screenings for recruits in the program last year. Along with canceling the contracts of the 1,800 foreign-born recruits who have yet to be given orders for basic training, the memo suggests canning 2,400 part-time troops in the MANVI program who have yet to attend basic training, and submit another 4,100 — most of them naturalized U.S. citizens — to "enhanced screening," if the Pentagon can navigate the "significant legal constraints" of monitoring U.S. citizens without cause, the memo says.
The 1,000 recruits at risk for deportation have seen their visas expire while waiting for the Pentagon to send them to basic training, and canceling their enrollment would remove their protected status, not just their pathway to citizenship. Also, "the recruits are on government rolls detailing their addresses, phone numbers, and legal statuses, making them prime targets for removal," The Washington Post notes. "It remains unclear if military officials would hand over that information to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"It's terrible," retired Army officer Margaret Stock, who helped set up the MANVI program, tells The Washington Post. "You trusted the Army, who delayed the process, and now they're going to cancel your contract and have you deported." Pentagon spokesman Johnny Michael told the Post on Monday that the Defense Department is reviewing the MANVI program requirements, but declined to elaborate or confirm the authenticity of the memo. You can read more at The Washington Post. Peter Weber
Stephen Colbert teases his Russia trip with a pretty gutsy clip of him on Russian late-night TV
On Monday's Late Show, Stephen Colbert reiterated that he was extremely happy to be back in America after his visit to Russia last week. "The whole trip was supposed to be top secret," he explained. "I'm serious. I wanted to get over there and get back before anybody knew. And some traitor leaked that I was over there. Luckily, after an exhaustive search, we have found the leaker — it was me." He showed the tweet he sent to President Trump showing himself in Russia, apologized to himself, then gave some context: "That's me in front of St. Petersburg's Winter Palace — or as they call it, Czar-a-Lago."
While in St. Petersburg, he was the guest on the late-night talk show Evening Urgant — "It's hosted by the very talented Ivan Urgant," he said. "Ivan, I presume, is Russian for 'Jimmy'" — "and while talking to Ivan, I accidentally made some news on purpose," Colbert said. He showed a bit of his interview, and it included some jokes about Russian election meddling that demonstrated some intestinal fortitude, or perhaps comedic foolhardiness. "Now, to be clear, all I said in that little clip there was that I was considering a run" for president in 2020, Colbert explained. "If I decide to run, obviously I'm not going to ask the Russians to help my campaign, okay? I'd have my son-in-law ask them." He ended with some descriptions of his trip that made his late-night jokes in St. Petersburg seem all the pluckier. Watch below. Peter Weber
Stephen Colbert, just back from a trip to Moscow, apologizes to Trump over Russia's election hacking
Stephen Colbert was in Russia last week, he revealed on Monday's Late Show.
His audience may not have been aware of his travels, but "you know who did know I was in Russia?" Colbert asked. "Russian intelligence — hard-core fans, evidently, followed me everywhere." He explained that he and his crew returned from Moscow Sunday night, that he was still on Russian time, and that he would show some of the several segments he shot there in coming weeks.
"But while Russia was fascinating, it is sincerely wonderful to be back in America," Colbert said. "Let's see what everybody's talking about here. Oh that's right, Russia." He walked through the big Washington Post report that former President Barack Obama knew about Russia's specific plot to tip the election to Trump back in August, but eventually did little to stop it. "President Trump is a well-known Russia-hacked-the-election denier," Colbert said, showing video evidence. So he appeared surprised that Trump went all-in on the idea that Obama did nothing to prevent Russia hacking the election in his favor.
Colbert adopted his Trump-tweet voice and paraphrased: "That's right, there was no Russian hacking, period. #FakeNews. Wait, it was Obama's fault? Russia stole our election and Obama let it happen! Thanks, Obama. No, seriously, thanks, Obama. I'm president now. Thanks!" He read the rest of Trump's tweetstorm, stopping to marvel at Trump's new self-adopted nickname, and his chutzpah. "Hold on, nobody is accusing Obama of 'colluding or obstructing,'" Colbert noted. "That's your deal." Trump also demanded an apology over the Russian hacking, and Colbert agreed: "Look, I'm a big enough man to apologize. And I think I speak for the majority of Americans when I say, 'I'm sorry you're president.'"
Colbert ended his monlogue by noting that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is no longer letting his press briefings be recorded. "Evidently, while I was in Russia, we turned into Russia," he said. Watch below. Peter Weber

We own 2 of these, one for a ball python tank and one for a leopard gecko tank. They both have Zoo Med night time bulbs in them. There are 2 switches controlling each light which are on the back. The bulbs do not touch the screen top which we were having a hard time finding one that didn't. The ball python is a screen rubber so I actually have Velcroed fabric on the inside of the screen and it does not get hot enough on the top to be worried about it catching on fire. I do have them both on light dimmers, with 2 bulbs on it was to hot but with 1 not hot enough, the dimmer solved the problem perfect. It has a nice sleek design that looks good too. I have had them both for well over 6 months and they are still going strong.

Love this. Fits perfect on top of my chameleons cage and the bulbs don't touch the screen. I was having problems with other products & bulbs touching the screen which can burn my Cham. This works great. Will buy more for my next cage set-ups

This is an excellent product and provides UVB light for my reptiles especially on those rainy days. The only CON I have is that the description did not say that it can't fit two of longer bulb but that is a small CON. Other than that I am happy with my product.
|by Enfields Mother
|Date Added: Sunday 17 March, 2013
this unit is nice. it has 2 switches: one we use a day heat bulb in to mimic daytime temperatures and one we use at night for visibility and low heat. This unit would be better if each switch had it own power cord so that we could set timers for both lights when we aren't here.

I love this hood. It has separate switches for each side which is so convenient for day/night configurations! It still fits well on my 18 Exo Terra terrarium too.

Brad and Angelina In & Out of India
After an entire month of shooting Michael Winterbottom's A Mighty Heart, the Pitt party finally is over in India!
Angelina Jolie (carrying baby Shiloh, almost 6 months) was spotted leaving India early Sunday morning with assistant Holly. Assuming that's a pilot's shoulder, it looks like they spotted at the airport. Not far behind was Baby Zahara (sporting an oh-so-cute hairstyle) and 5-year-old Maddox (sporting sleepyhead hair and cute motorcycle PJ's) being carried by Brad Pitt. Maddox is going to be a biker boy like his dad Brad!

a' vs a and a vs a' looks different in streamplot
Consider the following.
a'[t]= -a[t] -kr -b[t]
Let us plot the vectorfields of a' vs a. (or a vs a' for that matter)
as follows.
Manipulate[{StreamPlot[{a, -a - kr b}, {a, -10, 10}, {b, -10, 10},
FrameLabel -> {a, a'}],
StreamPlot[{-a - kr b, a}, {a, -10, 10}, {b, -10, 10},
FrameLabel -> {a', a}]}, {kr, 0, 10}]
Why do the plots of " a vs. a' " and " a' vs. a " look so different?
They aren't just 90' rotation of each other.
Shouldn't they be?
Thanks for any insight.

I have gotten that feeling on here more then once. Threads that have nothing to do with bite work all of the sudden have someone making a comment about it. I tend to ignore threads that even remotely look like it will favor one type of dog. I have no interest in IPO and yet I took Robyn for an evaluation. Why? I felt that I had to prove something and I'm still not even sure to who. She passed, whoop d do. After she passed I told them no thanks and moved on to agility. I have a Craigslist GSD and a shelter GSD and they are perfect. My focus is enjoying my dogs and to do what's right by them with diet, exercise, and veterinarian care. I'm not going to let science decide that because my dogs come from a breeder that they might or might not get ill. I also have nothing against breeders that put everything they have into producing the GSD, whether it's a show dog, therapy dog, agility dog, or police dog, etc. No one can predict what will happen no matter where they come from. It's the same with kids, we can only hope they will be healthy and we certainly aren't going to give them up if they get sick, we just don't know. They all need a home and they all deserve one. At the end of the day I know I have very stable good temperament dogs and I don't care if they would protect and I don't need them to bite a sleeve to prove it one way or the other. I go to sleep at night feeling blessed to have them in my life and I feel safe. I can only hope they know how much I love them and what I would do to keep them safe. I don't have anything against people who do the sport, but I don't think those dogs are any better then the rest and that is the feeling I get from some(not all). I just don't let it bother me anymore and I enjoy what I have and they can enjoy what they have, so everyone is happy.

Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP Summer Reading List
Having recently shown her fans and GOOP newsletter subscribers how to cook a chicken, Gwyneth Paltrow is now turning her attention inward.
The movie star's most recent contribution to her website includes a list of must-read books for the summer. For this task, Gwyneth enlisted the help of some friends, who advised their buddy what novels she should be reading.
I'm shocked to hear she might actually have some leisure time to sit down with a good book. Did someone tell her reading burns calories?

I am just starting a dedicated theater build along with finishing my basement.
Yep I've been spending the past several nights since finding this forum reading until my mind is spinning.
I have a basic question and I'm not sure where to ask so if this isn't the place please redirect me.
Currently I'm getting ready to start running speaker wire and all the other wires needed for my theater.
I am going to have a separate closet for all my a/v equipment and want to make sure I run all the needed and maybe future expansion wiring now from the closet to the space behind the AT screen.
What do I need to run other than speaker wire and power? Do I run Cat5 for an IR extender and how many of them should I run?
Also what wiring other than power and HDMI do I need to run for my projector? I've never installed one before. Does it need some sort of cable for IR also since it will be above my head when watching movies?
btw I love this forum.
Thank you,
You'll get some great advice here. Think about if you'd ever want to run additional speakers for NEO:X or one of the other surround formats that add beyond 7.1. Do you want multiple subs? I'd run a smurf tube to the front and back of room for future needs. Also, you'll want a cat5/6 to your projector.
College Park 4K Cinema
Can someone please tell me why use cat6 over cat5?
I currently have a spool of cat5 from past projects and would like to use if possible.
For instance if you end up with active speakers or subs that changes the wiring requirements beyond speaker wire. If you think you might go for a 4K projector that is a higher standard of wiring than 2K.
For the projector I like to run an outlet on the ceiling to a power inlet in the equipment stack area and run the projector off a UPS/line protector unit. If your area is prone to power outages you don't want to have the power fail and not be able to cycle the unit through a cool down cycle.
My place PROJECTS:Bacon Race, Ohio, Bethesda, Swizzle Stick, Summer Fun, Curve Frenzy, Staggered Walls, Rawlinsway, Lemonade,
Looks like another trip to home depot for some conduit as this sounds like a good idea to have in place.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
My place PROJECTS:Bacon Race, Ohio, Bethesda, Swizzle Stick, Summer Fun, Curve Frenzy, Staggered Walls, Rawlinsway, Lemonade,
Got my conduit tube installed today, about 20ft worth. Used the 2" pvc conduit that is specifically designed for this purpose with the large curves.
Maybe I will start a build thread although it will be slow since I am also installing a security alarm and finishing the rest of the basement at the same time.

Marijuana legalization advocates say decriminalization works well in many states
02/13/08 7:49AM By Mitch Wertlieb
| Download MP3
Debate resumes today in the Vermont Senate on a bill that would lessen penalities for possession of marijuana.
Under the legislation, people caught with small amounts of marijuana would have the choice between a fine or a court diversion program if caught.
There are 12 states in the country that have some form of marijuana decriminalization laws. In past weeks we've spoken with Vermont law enforcement officials about the effort, including Vermont�s new Public Safety Commissioner Tom Tremblay, who spoke out against it.
Today we hear from Keith Stroup, founder and legal counsel for NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Straup says there's strong evidence that decriminalization has worked well in states that approved it:

Welcome to Throwback Thursday with everybody's favorite throwback experts, Streaker Sports. For the next six weeks ILGear and Streaker Sports are teaming up to bring you throwback apparel, photos and stories from the glory days.
Today we give you an inside look at some notable teams' traditions - on the field, on the sideline, off the field, in the locker-room, etc.
On the Sideline: Bryce Chase, a former US Marine and Princeton Class of 1963, has been a mainstay on the Princeton lacrosse sideline since 1971. When Chase missed the 2008 Hopkins game due to the flu, it ended a streak of 536 consecutive Princeton games attended.
Music: Since the 90s, the team has played "Return of the Mack" in the lockerroom after every home win. No one is sure what year it started, or why this song stuck over all the other "gems" from the early 90s, but all former Princeton Lacrosse players know when it's played, the Tigers won.
(Photo cred: Jay Loy)
In the Locker room: "Be the Best" is a saying after breaking every huddle. Additionally, It's on team uniforms, locker room walls, and some alums still use it to sign off on emails with other former Terps. It's existence can be confirmed as far back as "The Big Man" Coach Edell days in the 1980s.
(Photo cred: Larry French)
In Game: The Tar Heels used to paint the entire goal crease Carolina Blue until the early 2000s when it was deemed illegal. Rumor is the team was forced to start the game man-down vs. Navy because of the infraction.
(Photo cred: Bill Jones)
Harvard - (Before the Ivy League Tournament)
In practice: just before the first game in May, usually Dartmouth, and to coincide with the Kentucky Derby, they would host the "Run for the Dandelions." Unlike the Run for the Roses, this race was to see who the slowest guy on the team was. It was quite involved, including 12-16 entries and elaborate racing forms. Of course, the slowest runner was deemed the "winner."
On the sideline: Since 2003, Darren Artuso (head athletic trainer's son), has been on the sideline of every lacrosse game. Darren was born with a genetic condition called Williams syndrom, that entails learning disabilities and delays. He is easily Loyola lacrosse's biggest fan. Read more on Darren here.
Off the field: Back in the day it was tradition for the seniors to put together a scouting report... on themsleves. Except this scouting report wasn't as much about the players lacrosse tendencies as it was about the dirt they all had on each other. What gets said in the scouting report stays in the scouting report.
(Photo cred: Jay Loy)
On the field: For 94 Years, at each home game, there has hung at one goal a service flag with three gold stars. That flag, presented by the lacrosse team of 1919, commemorates the loss in World War I of the three Hopkins lacrosse players: W. Brown Baxley, Warren B. Hunting, and Theodore Prince.
A second service flag bears eight gold stars that pay tribute to eight former Hopkins players who lost their lives in the second World War and int he Vietnam War: Frank Cone, Walter J. Farenholz, David H. W. Houck, George D. Penniman III, Edward A. Marshall, Peter W. Reynolds, John I. Turnbull, and Charles E. Aronhalt.
Johns Hopkins captains are given the honor of hanging the flags.

Been meaning to seeing Boondock Saints, just never get around to it for some reason. Good movie i presume?
This is a discussion on Best (good) gun movies where CCW has been used.. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; anyone see ???...
Been meaning to seeing Boondock Saints, just never get around to it for some reason. Good movie i presume?
Yeah it is... I enjoyed it. pretty interesting take on vigilanteism (sp). the movie would be ownable if they used 1911\'s :kay::rock:
My gf says I have to see Boondock Saints. She\'s seen it and loved it.
Our kids are addicted to Monk on the USA channel. One episode I caught involved a shooting by a detective of a supposed mugger. The detective was off duty and had a lady friend close at hand to defend. Although the detective was eventually found to be having an affair with the mugger\'s wife, the mugger was sort of a Bill Gates. The gun and his having it concealed was hardly a factor. He was a LEO, had a license, therefore he was fine and the gun did not \"kill\" the first BG, the other BG did.
I liked \"Open Range\", but I also liked \"Unforgiven\".
May have to check out \"The Boondock Saints\"...Thank God for the \"Movie Pass\"...:D
