Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: mack
Nothing compares to the thrill of creating my own web sites, on which I "talk" to thousands of visitors every single day. I get an opportunity to explain my opinions, viewpoints and share information which may even be helpful. My words are not changed by any editor or boss; every article (with a few exceptions) has been written by me to help others understand some issue, data or topic.
My web site has a guestbook, which individuals can use to tell me what they think of my writings and opinions. In the 3 years since I began creating my sites, over one thousand people have left entries thanking me for my words, expressing praise for the effort or informing me of how my editorials help them somehow.
These thouands notes of kindness outweigh a million-fold the dozen or so entries which ridiculed my efforts or attempted somehow to belittle me or my opinions. With so many positive comments, it's become very satisfying to hit the delete keyu on those evil little bombs left by people with nothing better to do than tear someone down.
When I arrived home from work on September 11th, the first thing that I did was begin writing about the attacks. Before long, I had started a website, and began posting other articles by hundreds of individuals with their thoughts and contributions. I included graphics, photos and articles from all over the world; eventually the site expanded to over a thousand pages. The effort of putting this together, researching and writing, helped stabilize me in what appeared to be a very unstable and hostile world.
When my wife became very ill and it became apparent that she would be unable to travel outside our apartment for months or even years, I turned to the internet for help. I showed her how to create a website, how to use Paint Shop Pro, and how to communicate with others. At first she used the internet only enough satisfy me, but before a month had passed, she was creating her own web site which informed others how to survive asthma and it's side effects. She wrote about her struggles with that terrible disease, as well as the five days she spent in a coma and the many different techniques tried to handle her condition. Thousands of people have signed her guestbook, and she has expanded her horizons and created a dozen different websites on many different toptics. In fact, my lovely wife now is working to become a professional webmaster herself, and I think she will soon be even better than I am at this trade.
I believe that these efforts have expanded my horizons to the entire planet, and I have no doubt that the internet saved my wife's life. It enabled her to communicate with others, even provide a helping hand now and then, even though she could not leave the house for physical reasons.
And, of course, the internet changed me beyond my wildest dreams. I now write one article (minimum) every single day, something that would have been unheard of years ago. I communicate regularly with people I have never (and will never) meet. The internet has enabled me to feel better about my fellow man and has gone a long way to convince me that man is good, and that evil is not normal.
And that's what the internet has done for me.

one young lady i met online in 96 moved in with me in 97 - in 2000 she met someone else online and moved in with him instead. last year i met another young lady online and she moved in with me this year (maybe i'll get to keep this one??)
>>The web changed my life because it means I can work for myself and
>>not have to have awful people bossing me around who know very
>>little about the Internet
yep, same here.

Bathroom Lighting For Makeup Application
When it comes to choosing bathroom lighting for makeup application there are several factors to take into consideration.
The Best Lighting For Applying Makeup
These factors include the type of lighting you select, the fixtures used, the amount of lighting in the bathroom, and the location of the lighting.
Considering these four factors will ensure that your makeup application will look flawless and will appear as if a professional performed it.
The choice of lighting will have a direct impact on your finished makeup result; you will need to select your light carefully to avoid complications. Natural lighting always provides the best results and makeup should be applied in natural lighting when possible.
Bathroom lighting should include windows and possibly skylights to ensure that there is plenty of natural sunlight entering the room.
When natural light flows into the bathroom first thing in the morning, your bathroom will be inundated with a soft glow. If you feel that natural light is not enough, then you might want to select a combination of light sources.
Artificial lighting tends to consist of overhead fixtures and fluorescent lights. You can use a track system, wall fixtures, or chandeliers. These lights can be harsh, however, as well as cast shadows, and make it difficult to apply makeup by obscuring the true view.
If you are going to use artificial lighting in your contemporary lighting scheme, then select natural daylight bulbs.
These will prevent additional yellow light from being cast and will give you an excellent lighting source. Natural daylight bulbs in artificial light fixtures are an excellent way to get perfect results when applying makeup.
For those who find that they need additional bathroom lighting for makeup application, there is always the option of adding makeup mirrors to the bathroom. Makeup mirrors are easy to install and can be placed on vanity tables.
They are available in a wide variety of sizes and lighting options, and can also include magnification mirrors to give you a better view while applying makeup.
You can rest assured that every makeup application will be perfect when using makeup mirrors. Another option is to add strip lights to your bathroom mirror and create you own makeup mirror.
Strip lights can be placed around the perimeter of any mirror fixture in your bathroom, making it the choice do-it-yourself project for your makeup application and shaving needs. When choosing lighting, make sure that you have the ability to lower or dim the lights as well.
Since you will be wearing your makeup in a variety of different light settings, it is good to have the option of previewing your makeup before going out. You can select from a variety of strip lighting kits that can easily accommodate your makeup application needs.
It is important to realize that fluorescent lighting is harsh and never flatters the face. In fact, applying makeup in fluorescent lighting gives a poor result. It magnifies imperfections and makes colors appear as if they have a blue tint or base.
This color imperfection isn't visible in natural or soft lighting. By taking these factors into consideration, you can make certain that you select the best bathroom lighting for makeup application.

My sweet friend Bridgett of Perideau Designs is stopping by to share something super sweet…welcome Bridgett! Thanks for the back to school printables and ideas!
I can't believe the new school year is already upon us! And this year, it's especially near and dear to my heart because my not so little one, Kendall, is going to kindergarten. She's been in daycare since she was 4 months old but entering the school system is a whole new ball game. So I wanted to send her out on the right foot.
Every day, we tell her how special she is and how much we love her, but a few goodies snuck in her book bag can't hurt, right? So I whipped up this adorable, if I do say so myself, DIY pillow boxes that you can easily fill with your child's favorite candy like smarties or starbursts.
Each pillow box dons a positive affirmation: You Got This, I'm Proud of You, You're Amazing and Don't Quit in bold graphics. I don't know about you, but if I saw this unexpected note in my backpack, that would be the added oomph I'd need to get through the day and know that my parents love and care about me.
Download your templates now and have a blast hiding them in their backpacks or lunchbags. Also, they work great on your big kids too. I hide them in my husband's briefcase all the time. We all need a little encouragement every once in awhile."
I'm Proud of You + You're Amazing & You Got This + Don't Quit

[Letter to Paul Springer]
June 1956
Dear little bodybuilder,
The weirdest weather: three days ago the Springer Thermometer and Hygrometer registered 107 and nine resp. in the office, and the next day the mountains were covered with snow! The worst is the assorted pollens that crowd the air and get everybody snuffling and spitting and tweezing. I revert to my former thesis: IS this a habitable planet? Marginal at best.
It seems that the former and still owners of our house had planted an around-the-year catalogue of bulbs and whatnot, so that every morning we get up to find some new botanical confection throwing off waves of passion; it is like living in a forcing-house or the late Dr. Fu Manchu's conservatory. We dare not stop watering for a minute lest our neglect blight some floral rarity found only in the steaming depths of Sumatra. At the same time phone beats out the canonical hours with urgent requests from restless committees wondering where the next two lessons are or what became of pp. 74 and 103 of the footnotes.
Don Decker dashed off to Alaska to make some money over the summer and his family plumped in on us on Friday – only for a short stay, but now it is 8 (eight) 8 kids around the house, all but one under seven (7) seven years of age, though the presence of a couple of gabbing dolls (their parents) does keep things somewhat in hand. Just the same I know now what it used to be like, even barring the Edwards [sic] Act, and you can have it! [Probably refers to the Edmunds Act of 1882.]
Then there is a little matter of bills. It is true, everybody in California is loaded and certainly deserves to be happy as that is the law in California. But it is also true that some poor suckers are paying for it. I never knew there could be such a difference in standards of living. All in all, S.F. Seems like something that happened in the preexistence or before the Fall – very far away and too good to be true. Here we are prepared for the worst because we already have it. The days since I got home have been an unbroken series of interruptions, the nights and unbroken festival of footnotes. We decided against taking the family to Seattle: I am taking Paul alone instead. The reasons for this great decision are painfully obvious. The baby has been having the measles but never for a moment gave up enjoying himself – the picnic is for him the life, especially after 2 A.M. …
Along with that, though poverty keeps me off many a sucker list, the nature of my writings has brought me into direct and heated correspondence with every crackpot in the country. I do take the kids out into the canyons and the sagebrush for overnight jaunts, but it always Ends with Mikey howling his head off if he doesn't go, and then crawling into my sleeping bag in the middle of the night to kick the stuffing out of the bag and me. Still it is the one advantage of living here that one can escape into real wilderness without any difficulties at all. In spite of the furiously hot days the nights have been very cold (all last week the humidity stayed below 20) so we have been searching out the red-rock country and the pink sands, where nobody goes in summer and nobody can go in winter, even to hunt for lost cattle. I am beginning to acquire a perverse love for unwashed vagabondage in colored dirt – a touch of Bedouin defiance, you might say, that could lead to serious results. There is no danger of desertion here, since the kids are getting it worse than I am, but what if I we should sever all ties with society? That would be like having no TV – you might as well be dead.
What brings me back to earth is the good old B.M., the book that really tells you what goes on in the world. At this very moment without any preliminary roar or even the slightest trace of foreboding sultriness the frame of my glasses has suddenly and quietly come apart, broken right in two. That Means 8 bucks in the morning. That is what I get for writing letters on the Lord's day.

Principals and City Reach Impasse in Bargaining
City officials and the principals' union have reached an impasse in their negotiations over a new contract, the union announced on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the state's labor relations board formally declared that the city's Department of Education and the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators had made no progress in their contract negotiations, which have been going on for more than a year.
Chiara Coletti, a spokeswoman for the union, said that Ernest A. Logan, the president of the union, asked for the Public Employment Relations Board to intervene and declare an impasse in October. With that accomplished, the state will appoint a mediator to oversee talks.
"It's been about a year and a half since the contract expired, and we have gotten nowhere," Ms. Coletti said. She would not say what issues, whether of salary increases or changes in working conditions, stand between the two sides and agreement.
According to Ms. Coletti, the city opposed the declaration of an impasse. The Department of Education has not issued a response to the board's decision.
Principals, assistant principals and other school administrators — about 6,500 of whom are represented in contract negotiations by the council — have been working under the same contract since 2007. It expired in 2010, but its provisions remain in place until the union and city reach a new agreement.
The union sent the following message to its members:
C.S.A. filed for impasse with the N.Y.S. Public Employment Relations Board in October over the city's failure to negotiate a new contract with the union. On Nov. 1, PERB agreed with C.S.A. that negotiations with the city are, indeed, at an impasse. By declaring an impasse over the city's objections, PERB concurred with C.S.A.'s position that the assistance of a neutral third-party mediator would be beneficial to advance the collective bargaining process between the parties.
The union will keep you apprised of meetings with the assigned mediator and looks forward to continued negotiations to deliver our members a fair and equitable contract. The last contract expired on March 5, 2010. The 1982 Triborough Amendment to the state's Taylor law mandates that the terms of an expired contract remain in force until a new contract is approved.

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this, but here goes.
Has anyone gotten the "Multi-Shield" protection package from the dealer? Does the coating they apply on the paint and the interior actually help any? The cost was $878 and it included a windshield replacement, small dent and ding and chip fix, and wheel repairs or replacement due to damage on the road for five years. The interior cover is supposed to be stain resistant and the exterior is supposed to keep the paint from fading and resist chips. I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts who have gotten this before.

On the 19th of October we left for our "beginning of the year field trip†to the Columbia River Everyone was excited and in a good mood. The ride took us about six hours with a few bathroom breaks. About four hours into the ride we stopped at Beacon Rock which is 850 feet above sea level. Lewis and Clark used it as a landmark for their exploration of the area. Later it was bought for a dollar in 1915. We decided to hike to the top where we saw some amazing views of the Columbia River and surrounding area. After that we drove for another two hours until we arrived at our campground on Horse Thief Lake.
We set up camp and had a late dinner. Then we played a game of sardines in the dark, which is basically the opposite of hide and go seek. The next morning we had an easy morning and ate breakfast. Then we went to the Maryhill museum.
There we saw a lot of interesting things, like a royal gown that had a twenty inch waist! We saw Exhibits from Auguste Rodin, Theatre Da La Mode, orthodox icons and some native art. Everyone enjoyed the museum and a lot of us took pictures.
While at the museum we met Elise's dad, David, who has been a historian and naturalist on the Columbia River for over a decade. Ha shared some information and was a great guy to be around.
When we all returned to the campground we were all relaxed and wrote in our journals and before got dinner started. Some of us also played some football before dinner. After dinner we played another game of Sardines before we went to bed.
The third day of our trip was upon us and we were going to see some ancient Petroglyphs and pictographs near our campsite. The native art had been removed from its original place because when the dams were built they would have been submerged, so they removed them and placed them in a viewing area near the campsite. The camp host, who was named Tangela, talked to the group about the Petroglyphs and Pictographs. David also got to talk to us a bit about them too.
After the Petroglyphs, we drove to Horse Thief Butte. We hiked up onto the butte and played around on the rocks. We then got to see some more Petroglyphs that were on the butte. All of us had a good time that the views were spectacular.
When we got back to camp we had some writing time then made dinner. When we had eaten and cleaned up, we went over to David's camp site to watch a movie called Whale Dreamers produced by Julian Lennon. The movie is about a group of Australian aborigines who center their culture on whales. The whales are sacred to them and even their creation story is centered on whales. We all enjoyed the movie and had s'mores after.
The trip was almost over and there was still stuff to do. On the fourth day we went on a hike up the Dalles mountain where saw some amazing views of Mt. hood and Mt. Jefferson. We headed down the mountain and went to a historical farm with lots of cool old machinery. We got some pictures then went over the Columbia River into Oregon to go to the Oregon discovery museum. There were lots of interesting exhibits including, the ice Age, Lewis and Clark, The Oregon trail and some on the Columbia River. Some of also watched a movie about the Oregon Trail which I thought was very interesting. When we got back to our campsite we had an early dinner and went to bed.
The next day it was time to head home so we had a quick breakfast, packed up our stuff and we were on the road by ten o'clock. The drive home was easy and everyone was happy to be heading home after a fun week of camping. We stopped in Ellensburg and had a really good Mexican lunch; we even got to practice ordering in Spanish. The lunch filled every one up including Jonas and we continued the last stretch of drive home. When arrived at school there were lots of parents glad to see their kids and we all unloaded our gear and headed home. The trip was an overall success and every had fun time and we learned lots to!

Up to 180,000 firefighters in Russia are battling to put out hundreds of wildfires that are spreading across parts of the country.
Special planes are being used to drop water on top of the blazes.
Thousands of people have lost their homes and at least 40 people have died.
The fires have been sparked by a record heatwave, which has left much of the land bone dry.

If the USD crash, it will crash against other money currency. What I mean is in case of the USD crashing, which money currency will stay strong? Yes the CAD is linked to the enconomy of the US but also to the price of oil. I think pretty much the crash of the USD will coincide with the oil price skyrocketing. This means the CAD will stay up until we can feel the bad impact of the US economy here i.e. a few months. I think if the CAD crash, we will see it coming and will have time to react (gold).
Is the Canadian Dollar Any Safer than the USD?
If you're interested in the Canadian situation take a peek at Garth Turner's (former Liberal Member of Parliament) blog The Greater Fool.
The site has a different tone but some of the commentary is quite interesting and actually led me to the Crash Course which I'm undoubtedly greatful for.
The $75 billion mortgage backstop, the $30 billion stimulus and the
$4 billion to the big 3 total $109,000,000,000. This was just another
massive number to me until I looked up the 07/08 federal expenses,
these totaled 233,000,000,000. Now I see that this represents a
possible increase of 47% (if the mortgage backstop is to be fully taken
advantage of).
Now it's not just another meaningless huge number to me, it's a potential 47%
increase so far. If there's a cushion between America and Canada I think it's
getting thinner.
getting thinner.
No doubt!
I sit here in Ottawa nearly begging family and friends to start paying attention to the economy (besides mainstream media) and watch the Crash Course or at least have them hear me out with a 5 minute explanation with no avail. The standard responses:
- It's not going to affect us like it will in the States
- Our banking system is much safer here
- It's only gonna be a short little recession
- Like anything else it's just a glitch and the market will correct itself
- Canada is huge and has a lot of resources and little population (I do agree with this as long as desperate US expatriate don't start flooding the gates)
Yeah well if our government jumps on board our neighbour's sinking ship we're going down too.
Our parliament recently prorogued and won't be seated again until late January. I'm certainly not with the Conservatives but sure as hell didn't want to see a coalition government with separatists. I breathed a sigh of relief when the Governor General accepted the prorogation simply to stop the current or coalition government go into a bailout spiral into deficit.
What would I do? I know going into a deficit is ineviable but ...
Maybe instead of bailing out the auto industry they could try relieving student debt (only gov loaned with a clause that they remain in Canada for the next 5yrs). All those students paying $450 a month could be stimulating the economy with that extra income, buying homes/condos and cars. Hell maybe they'll even buy from the big 3 but let's let the market sort that out right.
Maybe an infrastructure project protecting our sovernty in the north and heavily beefed up border to the south (see last point above but take no offense)
Maybe make serious investments in renewable energy projects and public transportation. I feel this one now as Ottawa is currently in a bus strike and snow and cold are really crippling the city.
No doubt we won't be as bad as the US but our dollar won't be too far behind if our gov spends us into oblivion by throwing money into black holes.
I'm just glad I've got a stable gov job in Ottawa and a decent camp on a clean river far away from major urban centers. If only I could convince others to start building community around there but all they're worried about now is getting their giftmas shopping done.
Interesting piece in the NY Times on Saturday.
Do I believe the Canadian economy is better off than the southern economy? Yes, to some degree, but time will tell.
Over 40 percent of Canada's current GDP is from U.S. consumption. With Americans consuming less, Canada's GDP falls.
However, with CAD being linked to oil, then the CAD is a much better hold than USD.
No! why...
US 77.7%, UK 2.7%, Japan 2.3% (2008)
When the US has a cold the CDN's will suffer! This is NOT FACT?
Got Gold?
Hi All, I'm new here and would like to see the facts and this is one of THE best places I have seen on the WWW...
I will post more about "FacT" in do time. :)
God Bless.
Rob. The Me$$anger.
1. Just looking at the canucky buck's performance over the last five years shows it has outperformed all the major currencies except the yen. It has even outperformed the Swiss franc.
2. Revenue is greater than 90% of expenditures vs. about 50% for the US. Debt is 72.3% of GDP, much better than the US. Exports almost as much as it imports. Has maintained higher interest rate than in US and recently increased rates. It's hard to see how any of this is bad for Canada.
3. Canada has oil, water, etc. as many have noted. A huge plus.
4. Obama is not the President. A huge plus.
5. Canada's banks have a much better reputation. Perhaps it is not entirely deserved, but perception counts for a lot here.
6. Although 77% of Canada's exports go to the USA, some of that surely could be put on boats and shipped elsewhere to economies stronger than the US economy.
So, yes, I'd say that the canucky buck is a lot safer than the US$.
Canada's main problem is if the US decides to pull an Anschluss on Canada to get control of its natural resources, but don't worry yet, the coming perhaps-not-so-civil war in the US will have to be resolved first.
Is the Canadian Dollar any safer than the USD? of course not, Canada is just a small tugboat attached to the US oversized sinking ship. One would think after the first bailout not helping the least bit why a second would do any better. As far as bad mortgages go. You dont see it on the news that another 400 mortgage defaults today up from the 350 yesterday comes across the screen. NO, its all GREENSHOOTS. Try and explain that to the 8.5% of canadians who are on employment insurance trying to cover their 40 year CMHC mortgages they all got with zero down. One can only wonder just how bad it can really get.... got gold? I bet if PM Harper where to tell everyone where all F**ked unless you have gold bullion under your bed there would be people running.. Government alright.. Tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to be told.. Crash course Canadian Edition? excellent idea
Bank of Canada and Gold.
Same path then US Finance !!!!!!!! For friendship, Canada ready to dive.
Dr. Martenson made the remark in one of his blogs about a year ago, that all currencies are skydivers. Having, said that, he said that he felt the Can dollar was one of the better currencies. I wonder what he would say today. I drove up to Canada and opened a bank account in Canada just as a hedge for me. But then again, the wise Homer Simpson once said, Canada is just America Jr.
There are numerous reasons why the Canadian dollar will not survive a US dollar collapse:
- The Canadian economy is very tied to the US economy
- The Canadian Government is intent on devaluing the Canadian dollar alongside the US
- The Bank of Canada has virtually no gold backing the Canadian dollar
- All that does back the Canadian dollar is the US dollar and other fiat currencies
- The Canadian dollar is not used globally

BANGOR, Maine – A ribbon cutting will take place Friday, Aug. 10 to officially open the recently revitalized St. Joseph Hospital Critical Care Unit waiting room
Donations from friends and family of the late Frank J. Soucy Jr. as well as in-kind donations from local businesses made the project possible. "The family was so moved by the love and care Mr. Soucy received from the CCU nurses that they felt compelled to deliver a gesture of love in return," said Kassie Zeigler, Executive Director of Community Networks and Foundation for St. Joseph Healthcare.
With input from the family, the waiting room has been refreshed with a cool and calming color palette, new lighting, wood-like flooring, a flat-screen television and granite-topped coffee bar. The room is intended for use by those waiting to hear news of a patient in the Critical Care Unit, and includes comfortable new furniture for up to 10 visitors to rest while awaiting news of their loved one. A custom-built coffee table is topped with granite donated by Stone Masters of Bangor.
Father Roland Nadeau will bless the room and the family will cut the ribbon at 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 10. Friends of St. Joseph and members of the public are all welcome to attend.

I think my filler is too soft...
After glassing over my quarter skin seam, I started skimming with some Marson Platinum, with about a 6 inch spread from top edge of skin down. Some parts of the bottom feather in very nicely and smooth...looks like a cloud to me. Other parts are scratched and jagged...can't get that nice smooth transition. These parts are probably from a different mix. I can actually scratch it off along that edge with my finger nail. Can't do this along the pillow soft edge.
I'm thinking I didn't quite get enough hardener in the mix. I'm ready to take it off and redo. Unfortunately I have a pretty nice level cut. Should I redo or am I overreacting? I applied it over epoxy sprayed two days previous.
RE-DO for sure. There is a good possibility you also didn't get the surface scratched well enough for it to stick.
Or clean enough, you don't want any dust in the scratches,
especially for filler transitions.
I learned that the hard way too.:thumbup:
Re-do fer shure! If you can scratch the surface with your fingernail the problem is just rearing it's ugly head, Paint will be a nightmare and you will be kicking yourself later, it's much easier to do this now. :thumbup:
Get it off and redo it ...
It's come off. In fact before I even had any answers here I wasn't right with the fact that I could scratch it away so I started taking it back off. I think I obviously mixed it a little too lean. It was a hot day when I was applying and everything was kicking so fast.

Annual Alumni Picnic - 09/09/08
On Tuesday, September 9, members of St. Tikhon's Alumni Association sponsored the Annual Alumni Picnic, welcoming faculty members, staff, students and the families back to the campus for another fall semester. The evening was enjoyed by all over a common table of hamburgers and hotdogs. Seminarian families visited with faculty members and staff, while the children were undeterred by earlier rains from playing outside. Alumni, to the encouragement of new students, gave edifying reminiscences of their own days at seminary. We offer our gratitude to the alumni for their generosity and thoughtfulness, and we ask their prayers as we embark upon the new school year.

The Box O' Truth #41 - The Taurus Judge Vs. The Box O' Truth - Page 1
some sort of evidence as to why not to choose a judge for HD. Its not super scientific but better than just an opinion
This is a discussion on Judge 45Colt/410 or Bull Dog 44SP within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I would go with the Bulldog for sure, I am just not convinced with the really usefulness of a 410 out of a handgun…....

The Box O' Truth #41 - The Taurus Judge Vs. The Box O' Truth - Page 1
some sort of evidence as to why not to choose a judge for HD. Its not super scientific but better than just an opinion
Quote Leon Harrison: "If you have to shoot somebody, don't use an ugly gun." E.G., "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defendant chose to use 'THE JUDGE' against that/this poor innocent young misled man, who had planned to marry the mother of his child/ren and stop being wild, and was going to get a job and go to church before he was murdered/hurt."
I also have the Judge.
1. Home defence; The 44 spcl round or the 45 long colt are both very good rounds. The difference in them is negligible in the real world.
I know that we can throw numbers around all day but 5 rounds of 45 colt com will do the job. Like others have said I'm not sold on 410 for home defence.
2. CC carry; The 44's I have are much easier to conceal then the Judge due to the cylinder length to accomodate the shot shells. That being said the judge is no heavier then my 1911 Government 45.
3. Range gun. I have always held that my 44s' are to be carried alot and shot a little. That is the way I feel about the judge as well. Don't buy either one with the thought that you can shoot them like a 22. They won't hold up.
4. Back up for hunting; 44 or 45 will do well in that respect. Thais is the area the judge shines. Squirrels or rabbits, the 410 does well. Something heavier go to 45.
5. Hedge aginst gun laws; Either one in my opinion.
I use my judge for a farm gun. Rats, snakes, squirrels, rabbits. But at night loaded with 45 colt I have no doubt if called upon it will do the job. If a man could have just one pistol, the judge could come in handy.
We will be much better off when we learn to deal with things as they really are, instead of how we wish them to be!
I really really like the Charter Bull Dog best but when I found one in a large gun store near here they had no 44SP ammo. It is hard to buy a weapon that ammo is a problem before you even put down your money.
Bull Dog hands down!!
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
I have the "Original" 3" stainless steel model. It is superb! My Mrs. uses her 2006-vintage for a "nightstand revolver." I carry my revolver regularly, and shoot it now and then to "keep a hand in it." It works VERY well.
Buy the Bulldog. You won't regret it.
Between the two, another vote for the Bulldog, hands down.
As stated above, the difference between .44spl and .45C are negligible. I'm also with the group that thinks the Judge is a novelty pistol...just don't see the .410, buckshot or other, being a great performer out of a 4" barrel. And I don't like the freebore that .45c bullet is going to have, rattling down the cylinder before it hits the forcing cone...

Very bad approach to estimate the value of the designs here.
Please go ahead and tell the criteria to estimate the value, it will really help many new guys like me.
webTypo said
FinalDestiny is right. This doesn't show the value of the design. A decent design in good hands can go a long way here. Don't let the $ 10 price tag fool you.
... and who decides which is a 'decent' design'? To me, many of the top selling designs are far from decent, but they are getting lots of sales, some design I think are decent but they don't have many sales.
You all are here to sell the stuff, do you create items which you think will get sales or you only create the 'decent' design? If that would be the case then every second template design would not look same.
Just my 2c.
A reasonable price for a decent design is somewhere between $ 1000 – $ 2000 if the designer decides to sell it for a fixed price.

Hollande asks French voters to judge him in five years
By Mark John and Elizabeth Pineau
PARIS (Reuters) - President Francois Hollande, grappling a sickly economy and dismal ratings, vowed to make France more competitive and urged voters to judge him on his long-term success in reviving growth and jobs, not on short-term mood swings.
In his first formal news conference after six months in office, the Socialist leader asked to be measured by his ability over five years to revitalize the country's ailing industry and halt a relentless rise in unemployment.
He brushed aside talk of strains with Germany over his economic policies, after German government sources told Reuters Berlin is concerned that measures announced last week to bolster industrial competitiveness do not go far enough.
"We speak to each other frankly, the chancellor (Angela Merkel) and I, but we don't teach each other lessons because Franco-German relations aren't based on lessons, except perhaps on the lessons of history," Hollande said.
"We in France more than others have to prove our seriousness and our competitiveness, more than Germany, and that's what we are doing. And Germany... has to prove its solidarity, which is not easy when a country has made such an effort to become what it is today."
In the only policy announcement of a marathon 143-minute performance, Hollande said France recognized a new opposition coalition formed to topple President Bashar al-Assad as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people and would consider arming the rebels if they form a government in waiting.
Stressing that low French bond yields showed that markets believed his economic policies were credible, he said a move to fund tax rebates for companies with small rises in sales tax should bolster output while preserving consumer spending.
"Decline is not our destiny," he said, shrugging off a sharp fall in his approval rating. Continued...

Next week my parents are bringing home the newest addition to our family.
My new baby sister. Her name is Gracie Allen. She will be 12 weeks when we go get
her. She is an English Bulldog. Mommy says I'm going to be big sister to Gracie,
which means she will be following me around. For a change I won't Be the one always chasing. Grace will chase me back. Sometimes the older dogs don't want to
play chase, now I will have a buddy to play with 24-7. We are all excited!!!
I Have a feeling a little jealousy might set in, but it will take some adjustments,
and I know my parents will give us equal attention, but I'm not use to sharing
my parents for longer than a day. I sure do love to play though, so I think I'll get through it quite quickly. I think everybody suffers from it now and then anyway.
In the long haul I'm quite happy about the whole thing. Plus my best friend Miley
and I are celebrating our birthdays together the end of next month. There is a whole lot of things to look forward too. Woof, Woof
The rain is such a drag. It really messes with my walks. When I need to go outside and do my buisiness and it's raining; I instantly think oh dog poo, now
there goes my walk. Now I have to be extra naughty and I hate to have to do
that to Mommy, and Daddy. Especially Mommy because I know she knows
what I'm thinking. She's scary; the way she reads my mind. She sure does know me well. I love her so much! At night I just love to snuggle her. I really
love to give kisses, especially Daddy because he lets me kiss his face for many,
many minutes. Daddy loves to pick me up when I'm sleeping, and I love to
wake him up with my kisses. For every puppy, and grown dog alike put up a
stink on rainy days. The naughty thing seems to work very well. Believe me
Mommie's know us well. It's a good thing that spring is near. Now that is real
good news. We are talking walks two, three times a day. I will be able to make
more friends and bask in the sun. These are some of the things I do best.
Woof, Woof, Woof. Harley

A Question about Expression Simplication
Hi MathGroup,
I am a beginner to Mathematica. Please help me solve the following problem.
I am trying to manipulate expressions like:
Sum[x_i, {i,1,T}] - x_2 or Sum[x_i, {i,1,T}] - Sum[x_i, {i,1,2,T}]
I want to keep the upper limit as T, not any specific numeric value. I
tried to use Simplify as in
Simplify[Sum[x_i, {i,1,T}] - x_2]
But the x_2 term doesn't get cancelled out. I also tried:
Simplify[Sum[x_i, {i,1,T}] - x_2, T>2],
but it didn't seem to work either. So I am wondering if the simplication
only works when I specify the value for T. Any advice, please?
Thank you very much!

Update. It's been almost a year since I bought the old girl. And correction, she's a 91Trooper. I am completely remodeling my house so I have almost no time for her, or my wife, but I did get it running. Cylinder 2 and 3 have bent valves. I plan to do a Johnny 5 overhaul on it in a couple weeks and simplify a few things. I am on the lookout, I'm sure everyone is, a brush guard and 86 or so grill and headlights. Hope all is well with all of you.
Thank you.

Planetary Resources wants to mine asteroids
SEATTLE – Can bold entrepreneurship, backed by a few tech billionaires with cash to spare, launch human commerce to the far reaches of the solar system?
The answer is a rousing yes, according to backers of an astounding asteroid-mining scheme unveiled Tuesday by Planetary Resources, a Bellevue, Wash.-based start-up.
The idea: Land robots on selected asteroids in orbit between Mars and Jupiter; figure out how to tap water and minerals as fuel for long-distance spacecraft; and bring home platinum and other precious materials to make it all a profitable venture.
"Since my early teenage years, I've wanted to be an asteroid miner. I always viewed it as a glamorous vision of where we could go," Peter Diamandis, the visionary behind Planetary Resources, told a news conference at Seattle's Museum of Flight.
The project is on a fast track. By 2014, the group plans to launch the first of a series of laundry-basket-size private telescopes that would search the asteroid belt for high-value targets.
Eventually, mass-produced robotic ships will routinely squeeze fuel and minerals from asteroids, becoming fueling depots not unlike the outpost in film director James Cameron's hit movie Avatar. Cameron is listed as an investor in the asteroid project and an adviser.
Scientists not involved in the project have confirmed the technical viability of mining asteroids, but noted how difficult and expensive it would be to make it a reality. Planetary Resources co-founders Diamandis and Eric Anderson successfully introduced the idea of selling rides into space for tourists, including one wealthy repeat customer, former Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi, one of Planetary Resources' financial backers.
Other key investors include Google CEO Larry Page and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Page is No. 15 on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans, with a net worth of $16.7 billion. Schmidt is No. 50, with a net worth of $6.2 billion, much of that from Google stock awards.
Anderson described how asteroids can be mined for water, the linchpin to deep space exploration, and how extracting precious metals could help drive costs down.
"A depot within a decade seems incredible," said Andrew Cheng at John Hopkins University's Applied Physics Lab, who was the chief scientist for a NASA mission to an asteroid a decade ago. "I have high hopes that commercial uses of space will become profitable beyond Earth orbit. Maybe the time has come."
Diamandis and Anderson declined to say how much getting the first pieces of equipment into space will cost. But without a big bureaucracy and with private funding, they expect to operate more quickly and cheaply than NASA.
Harvard's Tim Spahr, director of the Minor Planet Center, said getting drilling equipment into space and operating safely sounds "expensive and difficult."
While acknowledging that failure would not be a surprise, Anderson noted: "We do understand that the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, if it's successful, will be big."

The producer and multi-instrumentalist Davor Devcic aka D3 writes: I started to listen funk'n'soul records when I was 15 years old back in 1981. I was seduced by the rich harmonies and arrangements of Quincy Jones, Kashif (producer of Melba Moore and Evelyn King), Jay Graydon (Al Jarreau), Tommy LiPuma (George Benson), Earth, Wind and Fire and many others.
My musical taste grew not only from mainstream funk'n'soul, but, more importantly for my house music foundations, from what is called the "Disco Underground. Those rare grooves founded on funk, soul and jazz left a big mark on my musical knowledge. Alphons Mouson, Shakatak, Light of the World, George Duke, early S.O.S. band, Eumir Deodato, to name but a few. My whole musical biography is in fact a constant search for that fantastically creative sound.
Right in the middle of creating Classic Disco I made one or two slower construction kits and thus the idea for the next sample library naturally evolved in my mind: to make similar project with a down-tempo feel, with bpms from 60 to 100bpm, in the smooth style that is so familiar to me - the funk 'n' soul from that great 1977
1987 period. I have listened to these harmonies and grooves for decades and I think that I have given You that spirit and sound."

Looking through my gallery and seeing old artwork or photographs that are very outdated. -w- Such a joy. It's been quite some time since I've done a journal update. Longer than it's been for an art update. Any who, when I attain some time to scan some things there will be an art update.
But for now here's a rundown of how my life has. (In some short bulletins)
- I'm obsessing over Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, and some other shows.
- I've signed up for the Air Force Reserves, and will be shipped out June 12th this summer.
- Meaning I'm doing a bunch of agonizing running to get ready for it.
- My father passed away this last November, so a lot of spare time I've had has been spent with my mom.
- I got a fairly good collection of Copic Markers so I'm getting more into traditional art. Not like I already wasn't.
- College and high school work is killing me. I'd much rather sleep for 5 years than continue with it.
- We just finished publishing this years Art and Literary magazine at my school, which I am the editor for. I got to publish some writing, a small comic, and create the front and back cover for it. God do I love working with MAC computers. They're so lovely.
- I'm about to open up commissions, so if you would like one hit me up with a note up there. ;D
That's all I can really think of that may be important for now. Thanks for reading! Buh bye!

The vineyard, with an average age of 35 years, is characterised by its soil diversity: rather loamy soil around the château itself and more gravelly and clayey on the best blocks near the church.
Farming the property since 1962, Ets. Jean-Pierre MOUEIX brings the usual care and expertise to the vineyard - entirely replanted after the 1956 frost - and to the cellar. After a gentle fermentation in concrete tanks, the young wine is aged in 33% new oak barrels. View all Chateau Latour A Pomerol Wines
About PomerolView a map of Pomerol wineries POH-mehr-all
It's a tiny region, and it has no classification system. But the wines produced from Pomerol can be sensuous and life-changing. Here lies Chateau Pétrus, one of the most expensive and sought-after wines of the world – many vintages commanding prices higher than the first-growth chateaux of the Médoc. The area is all vines, with no real town center, just roads connecting the lands and small, farmhouse style chateaux.
Notable Facts
Soils in the area are primarily gravel based, intermittent with a clay subsoil, which is a factor in the rich flavors of the wines. Like its right bank neighbors, Pomerol sticks mainly to Merlot, with at least 2/3 of the land under vine growing the variety. Cabernet Franc makes up most of the remainder, with some Cabernet Sauvignon and a spot or two of Malbec. Vines are old and yields are extremely low – add those factors to the soil, and it's a recipe for an elegant, distinctive wine, with typical descriptors of intense aromas, ripe fruits and supple tannins. Quality can be vintage-dependent - in a good vintage, expect melt-in-your-mouth wine.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Selby crash driver guilty
The motorist accused of falling asleep and causing the Selby train crash has been convicted of 10 charges of causing death by dangerous driving.
Gary Hart's Land Rover plunged off the M62 motorway onto the East Coast main line on 28 February.
A southbound GNER express train collided with the car before being deflected into the path of a fully-laden northbound coal train.
Ten men, six of them commuters, died as a result of the crash at Great Heck near Selby in North Yorkshire.
Outside the court, police described Hart, who had spent the night before the crash chatting on the phone to a woman, as a "mobile catastrophe waiting to happen".
Speaking after the announcement, relatives of people injured and killed in the crash spoke of their relief that the case was over.
Many said it was now time for them to start trying to rebuild their lives.
Rachel Spadoney, who husband Jain was seriously injured in the crash, said: "There is nothing I can say that can make anyone appreciate exactly what our family has been put through."
The families thanked the police, emergency services, medical staff and Railtrack for their support since the crash.
Medical reports
Mary Dunn, whose husband Steve died driving the coal train involved in the crash, said she was relieved it was all over.
As the guilty verdicts were read out, Hart held his head in his hands. He then slumped in the dock and stared intently at the floor.
Immediately after the verdict, the defence team recommended that a psychologist's report on Hart be drawn up before he was sentenced.
Hart, 37, from Strubby in Lincolnshire, had denied the 10 charges of causing death by dangerous driving.
'Hectic' lifestyle
But the jury at Leeds Crown Court heard evidence Hart had fallen asleep at the wheel after the night spent on the telephone to Kristeen Panter, a woman he had met via an internet dating agency eight days before the crash.
The self-employed building contractor was on his way from Lincolnshire to Greater Manchester when the tragedy happened.
He was driving a Land Rover pulling a trailer which was carrying a Renault.
Hart claimed he was helpless to prevent his vehicle veering off the motorway because it had suffered a mechanical fault or hit something lying in the road.
Clear evidence
Teams of experts spent three weeks examining the crushed vehicle looking for the smallest detail which would point to the cause of the crash.
It became apparent that there was nothing wrong with Hart's vehicles.
Speaking outside Leeds Crown Court, Detective Superintendent Peter McKay from North Yorkshire Police said: "Gary Hart was convicted on the clearest of evidence.
"He could have avoided these deaths, he did not, he alone was responsible."
A documentary, 'I did not fall asleep', The inside story of Selby, is being shown at 2235 GMT on Thursday on BBC1.

hi all.
i'm a complete noob to ffxi. i played at launch but had no friends to go at it with, so i put it away.
well, last week i had the undying urge to pick it up and start at it again, so i did.
i've mostly been trying out the different jobs and such but i was wondering if there are any noob friendly link shells out there that i could get in or if anyone would be will to take me under the wing. :] i'm finding it extremely hard to do just about anything at the moment.
i've mostly been re-creating characters to get a feel but i'd honestly play anything if i had a purpose.
currently i'm trying my luck as a mithra thief. my ign is Rakamishu.

The Saguaros dropped Monday afternoon's game after coughing up five runs in the top of the ninth inning. Although Surprise lost the contest, all four Rangers prospects in action played relatively well.
Fresh off Saturday's appearance in the Arizona Fall League's Rising Stars Game, first baseman Chris McGuiness (.306/.405/.516) drove home three of the Saguaros' five runs while going 2-for-3 (both singles) with a walk.
Shortstop Hanser Alberto (.378/.408/.489) doubled for his only hit in four trips. He also committed a fielding error, his fourth of the Fall League campaign.
True to form, Alberto has flashed an impressive hit tool with an aggressive approach but a high contact rate this fall. He's walked just twice but struck out only three times in 13 games.
Lefty reliever Jimmy Reyes (0.00 ERA/.167 BAA) worked around a single in an otherwise clean, scoreless two innings. He fanned one.
According to the Surprise Stadium pitch f/x data, Reyes showed an 89-92 mph fastball to go along with an upper-70s, low-80s slider and a low-80s changeup. He threw 15 of his 20 pitches for a strike and induced five swings and misses during the short outing.
The 23-year-old Reyes has some intrigue as a left-handed middle relief prospect due to his decent-but-funky stuff that includes some life and deception. He's pounded the strike zone in seven AFL appearances––10.0 ip, 6 h, 0 er, 0 bb, 7 k.
Submarining righty Ben Rowen (5.19 ERA/.206 BAA) got a groundout and a strikeout to finish the top of the ninth. He flashed an 80-83 mph sinking fastball with a slider at 74 mph.
Licey leadoff man Leonys Martin singled twice and struck out twice in his four plate appearances on Monday. The centerfielder also picked up an outfield assist by erasing a runner at second base.
Through his first 14 winterball games, the 24-year-old Martin is 14-for-54 (.259) with two doubles and two home runs. He's drawn seven walks, struck out 11 times, and stolen four bases in five attempts.
Left fielder Engel Beltre, batting ninth, struck out twice in three hitless plate appearances. Despite the rough outing, he's hitting .364 in 11 games.
Mike Olt sat out of the lineup for a second consecutive day. He was forced to leave Saturday's contest after being hit on the head with a pitch.
The LVBP was off on Monday.
Caimanes centerfielder Diego Cedeno highlighted the day for Rangers prospects in Liga Paralela, as he went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, and three runs batted in. The club's leadoff hitter currently sports an impressive .324/.444/.405 slash line through 45 plate appearances.
First baseman Tomas Telis (1/4) and shortstop Edwin Garcia (1/4) both singled once in four at-bats for Caracas. Telis drove home a run.
Versatile Magallanes youngster Elio Castillo got the start at DH on Monday and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Although Castillo was an impressive performer in the Dominican Summer League during the regular season, he's just 8-for-44 (.182) without an extra-base hit in 14 Liga Paralela contests.
The Tiburones/Navegantes box score was not available on the Liga Paralela website.
There were no games in Mexico on Monday.
