This past spring, ICANN, the international group that oversees all domain names, announced applicants for a whole raft of new .coms. Unlike previous top-level domains, like .com and .org, these would be privately owned and controlled — which proved to be a huge incentive for big brands to pay the $300,000 application fee to lock up their desired domains. However, it's more than just ".kleenex" that is up for grabs; as MIT's Technology Review put it, the whole thing reeks of "boondoggle." With things like .sex, .art., .music, .porn and more on the table, the community comment period has yielded over 6,300 responses.
With so much feedback to wade through, ICANN has extended the comment period for an extra 45 days, through September. They are taking the comments seriously: Internal evaluators are reading them and the number and strength of the comments will go into the applicant's score. (Laid out in the online guidebook.) It's particularly important for high-value domain names like .Art, which have become the center of vicious fights — like over whether DeviantArt is the best shepherd for the portal to the art world. Other debates have more to do with whether a domain should even exist, especially in the case of porn-y names like .porn, .adult and .sex. The proposed .gay appears to have a campaign going against its existence, also. Others support the domain but have concerns about one company owning rights to online property exclusively: lawyers for Fidelity, for instance, commented on Countrywide administering .insurance.
This one is pretty clear-cut: fleece-producing outdoor apparel company Patagonia has requested its own domain name. Unfortunately, it's also a place.
Numerous people have weighed in that .stroke should not be owned by the American Heart Association as strokes are not just America's issue.
Seemed pretty irresistible to avoid calling "WTF" on .WTF.
Like .porn and .adult, .sex was the focus of a concerted protest effort. Also, people wrote in their own, more personal objections.
The fight around .Art is being fought on three fronts — those who don't want any private control of art, those who don't want DeviantArt in private control of art and those who can't wait for DeviantArt to be in control of .art.
This person basically wrote this comment on every child-related domain name.
In addition to many who howled about the porn possibilities of .sucks, this person pointed out the legal ramifications of such a domain. Like, libel.
Not surprisingly, there was much discussion, some in Arabic, about this domain. Many came out against it, saying that such a domain would need full support from the billion-person Muslim community. Others said they were satisfied with the policies listed by the applicant.
As with the porn, a plethora of comments with the same subject line ("not acceptable in our community"), reflecting an organized campaign. In this case, it seemed to come from a Muslim rather than Christian group. But a strong defense was also mounted.
Seems pretty straightforward.

thats a good one brim, also ,I have two carbide cutters for wallowing (?) out holes one is a straight barrel thats 3/8 "wide with a 1/4" shaft the other is a taperd one ...if I was at the shop I'd get a pic of it. already posted one...the previous pic of some grinders on my table ...it's the third one from the right.but basicly the thing to remember is : where theres a will ...theres a way,so if you think something might work for fixing a unique problem...try it ...you just might come up with something new...some of us simply dont think like the others...whether thats good or bad is up to you,but it is the truth.the point is ...if you dont know something is impossible ,you just might do it.... so never stop thinking for yourself and trying new things,keep an open mind..

Here's a youtube video that I thought was pretty helpful. He's tig welding but the rest is reasonably relevant even if one is mig welding. This is how I've been grinding down 80% of a bead, with a thin cutting wheel on a 4.5 in angle grinder or pneumatic cutoff tool, then use a roloc disc on anangle die grinder to finish it off. If you get enough shrinkage of your weld so that it buckles inward, you have to use a hammer and dolly to push it out a bit first. Otherwise you cutoff wheel hits metal you don't want to hit.
There's alot of metalworking stuff on YouTube. I found a short series by John Kelly that has quite a bit of techique footage. The internet is a great tool. It beats the hell out of driving all the way to Georgia to see deadbodyman or to Texas to see shine. Of course if I ever get my car in paint I think I'll be wanting to make that drive to thank these guys.
Getting some tools in the mail tomorrow. It should be a real hoot watching myself try to figure out how to use them.
I have an old kodac digital camera that takes vids...I joined "streetfire .net" at my boys request so he could see progress on his 48 ply. why dont you guys do the same? then we can really give you guys some techniques tips.I got the same user name over there....kinda like a custom made how to vidio made just for you...we can watch you work and help with your technique also .......I just hope you guys lke I.C.P. and Chillie peppers LOL..
being able to laugh at yourself is very important.we cut up all day long at my shop just last week I screwed up the clear ratio (I forgot it) we had a good laugh the guys got me all day long....asking me if I'd like them to do my mixing from now on......calling me Al...(short for alzazimers) and then there was the time we sprayed fart spray in the booth intakes and watched the painter lift his feet ,checking the bottoms of his shoes,smelling his arm pits oh boy that one had us ALL on the floor ....and after the painter came running out of the booth (we may have over did it ,half a can)and saw us rolling on the floor laughing he got madder and matter ...I wish I had a vidio of that ,you guys would be rollin too...dont take life so seriously....enjoy life like its a hobbie...I've been on the serious side of life and this ways much better...I no longer want to kill anybody and nobody wants to kill me as soon as you guys get to my profile it will start showing my collection of hotrod art in the upper right hand corner it takes a minute to boot up but take a minute to watch.and if you'd like to add to it ...let me know its a work in progress

You can imagine what it looks like when an electrician gets a body hammer, slapping file, and some dollies in his hands. Metal does move and a little bit at a time seems to be the method. I did wind up with a high spot in the rear upper part of the quarter panel. Also have an oil can working in that same area. Was thinking that a shrinking disc might be a good gadget to have. Seems more convenient than the heat wrench. I'm reading that the high spots need a bit of shrink. I like the idea of using Skype in the shop. It would allow me to be in your shop real time and you to watch real time what I'm doing. All it takes it a laptop or PC with a camera and an internet connection.
So back to the origin of this thread. The area that I mangled, which is the door handle hole, is not easliy accessible and I'm having trouble getting in there to tap it out. I really can't see cutting out the door jamb or inner door structure to get to it. Any suggestions anyone? Thinking about looking for another door or maybe skinning it. Kinda letting it lay while I work on the other areas...........hoping a solution will pop up.
Okay it's finally tomorrow. The first photo is the original subject of this thread. It was meant to be......................ah crap the upload just popped up and said my photo files are too large. Back in a few minutes (famous last words)
It was meant to be a plugging of the door handle hole. It's at the opening edge of the door and the inside of the door wraps around it........closing up access to back side if the depression. The 2nd and 3rd pics are the "bad" quarter panel. The 4th is of the "good" QP and the profile it should have.
The 5th is an overview of the project.
DD, If you cant gain acess from the inside and you dont have a stud welder you can weld a sheetmetal pulling plate to the body line then weld a pair of GOOD vicegrips to your dent puller,clamp them to the plate and pull it out that way or use the screw and puller then weld the holes up but back the holes up with aluminum or copper before welding it'll help a lot....as far as the 1/4 goes you should be able to gain access from the back side fairly easily.work the bodylines out first with a wide masons chisel 3-4".....posting pics can be a bit*h at first....ayy?

Could school gate politics replace mommy porn for women readers?
By Belinda Goldsmith
LONDON (Reuters) - A British writer whose debut novel about mothers at the school gate sparked a seven-way bidding war between publishers has attributed the overnight success of her book to striking a chord with women used to negotiating the politics of female groups.
The hype around "The Hive" led to Gill Hornby being described as publisher Little Brown's "most important new author of 2013" and NBC Universals' arthouse Focus Features snapped up the film rights even before the book's release on May 23.
Hornby said she was slightly bemused by all the attention for her book which hit the top 10 bestselling fiction list in the UK in its first week, drawing comparisons to the huge success of EL James's "Fifty Shades of Grey" series last year.
After all it is Hornby's first novel although she is far from new to publishing. She is married to Robert Harris, best-selling author of thrillers like "Enigma" and "Archangel" and her brother Nick Hornby wrote "High Fidelity" and "Fever Pitch".
Hornby, who has four children aged 12 to 22, said the book took her two years to write but was in her head for years.
"I've always been very conscious about the groups girls and women make but I was too busy living the life to write about it," Hornby told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"This book is based at a school but really it is about women and their relationships .. about ordinary, domestic life."
"The Hive" is based at a fictional school, St Ambrose Primary, in a smart English rural town, which has a new headmaster and a group of mothers committed to raising funds for his plan to build a new school library. Continued...

Franklin Co. Man Indicted in Fiancee's Death
By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
A Franklin County grand jury has indicted Brent Shubert for the murder of his fiancée, 33-year old Bonny Anne Cooner.
According to court documents released Tuesday, Shubert was indicted on one count of malice murder, one count of felony murder and one count of concealing the death of another.
On the first count, the grand jury concluded that on January 28 Shubert did, unlawfully and with malice of forethought, strangle Cooner.
Count two of the indictment alleges that Shubert did, while committing the felony of aggravated assault, strangle Cooner with a wire, which caused her death.
Under count three, the grand jury said Shubert intentionally concealed her death.
Cooner went missing in late January from the home she and her 12-year old son shared with Shubert in Canon.
An intensive search was launched to find Cooner that involved Franklin County Sheriff's Office investigators and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, as well as friends and relatives.
At one point, Shubert told CBS Atlanta that Cooner had been moody and acting strangely just before she disappeared.
On Friday, February 8, Franklin County Sheriff Stevie Thomas and GBI Agent in Charge Mike Ayers announced they had gathered evidence that led them to believe foul play was involved in Cooner's disappearance.
That, Thomas said later, produced tips that led investigators to discover Cooner's body the following evening down an abandoned well near her home.
Shubert was arrested several hours later in Anderson, South Carolina and returned to Franklin County.
He was denied bond and remains in the Franklin County Detention Center.
So far, no trial date has been set.

By the time the police realize what's happening, three people are dead, and with 17 more murder scenarios available online, there are 17 more potential victims. While the authorities scramble to find the killer in a city paralyzed by fear, the Monkeewrench staff are playing their own game, analyzing victim profiles in a frantic attempt to discover the murderer's next target.
In a thriller populated by characters both hilarious and heartbreaking, a rural Wisconsin sheriff, two Minneapolis police detectives, and Grace's gang are all caught in a web of decades-old secrets that could get them all killed.

"It's not bad, but I had some problems with it."
It's interesting enough to pass the time if you like murder mysteries. This book was recommended to me by a minister's wife. There are a few religious symbols and ideas which I suspect delighted her. Although I am surprised that she didn't complain about the volume of vulgar and religious swear words.
This is a long and complicated process of slowly uncovering clues about a killer. It kept my interest. There's a curiosity urgency of when are you going to call this guy, or when are you going to figure this out. There is no suspense other than during the final climactic scene with the killer.
There wasn't much police work or evidence. It was mostly conversation and speculation. And then in the ending climax, the killer explains everything in a ten minute monologue. I would have preferred learning motivations and evidence along the way rather than have the killer tell all at the end. I also would have preferred some cool police work or investigating.
I was annoyed with three stupidities during the ending climax. A cop did something stupid. The good guys were stupid to split up. And then a good guy did something stupid. It's the kind of thing that's typical and overdone. It reminded me of made-for-TV-movies. I would have preferred something different - unusual - unexpected.
I would have liked more showing of how the killer lured victims, talked to them, killed them, and then got away - especially the one in the store. I had a hard time figuring out how the killer could do what was done without a store clerk seeing something suspicious.
Straight mysteries are not my first choice in reading. But I enjoy them if there is something special, unique, or fun. This did not hit me that way.
I have never loved a book that was written by two people. But I try to be open to it. This book was written by a mother and daughter team.
Genre: murder mystery. Ending: reasonably happy.
I'm sorry but I did not like the narrator's accent. I'm used to and prefer generic TV anchor speak. The narrator Buck Schirner used a long e sound instead of a short i. For example: detecteev, talkateev, collecteev, Wednesdeey, hees (his), heem (him).
Excellent listen. My first experience with this author. Good police procedural that did not get bogged down with too many details. Good character development. Lots of plot twists without getting to confusing. I suppose ending was predictable (aren't they all) but just off center enough that I did not guess it completely. Would not have known the gender(s) of the authors if I had not been told. Only my second experience with this narrator and he did an excellent job this time.(my first was more forgettable) Will definitely add the sequel to my wish list.
I loved it. the characters are hilarious. the mystery is good. figured it out but it took a long time. Def recommend
I am excited to have found a new series. I didn't want to stop listening until I finished. Very suspenseful story and I enjoyed all the character development and how they came together in the end. I just bought the second in the series and hope to find it just as good.
"Liked the cops... didn't like the climax..."
More than a 3... not quite a 4. I thought the police characters had good development... and the plot had the makings of something really good. I felt like it didn't come together with the pizazz that I expected after 7-8 hours of building you up to something. It fell a little flat compared to what it set you up for. Worth the listen but I was left wanting a little more substance to the end.
"Great Book!"
Love the way they are written... great series... laughing out loud with the humor... at the edge of my seat with the suspense...

After returning from Senate President Pro Tem, Phil Berger's, press conference to reveal the Senate GOP Caucus's agenda, someone said to me, "Hey, it's amazing how two people can hear the same words from the same press conference and yet hear different things." I'd never thought about it but had booked two interview guests to come to the Legislative Week in Review TV studio - Rob Schofield of NC Policy Watch (they're liberal/progressive - pick your term) and Francis DeLuca, the president of Civitas Institute (Conservative group yet not affiliated with a political party). Yes, both gentleman heard the senator's words and YES, one sees trouble in the political agenda and the sees reforms long overdue to North Carolina.
The Senate Republican leadership is promising reform - reform for the North Carolina tax system (rumors float and rhetoric indicates possible proposals to eliminate state personal and corporate income taxes while expanding sales taxes and a business franchise tax), public education reform (especially changing teacher tenure policies). The federal health care law gives the state an option to operate a health insurance exchange, allow the federal government to operate it for the state or operate an exchange as a hybrid state-federal venture. Senator Berger says GOP senators don't agree to involve the state in health insurance exchanges. The health care law allows for the expansion of Medicaid but the Senate GOP says it does not have the support expand Medicaid (as they say the state can't get a firm number on the current Medicaid program's cash flow).
Well, Francis DeLuca of Civitas Institute held a 5-minute interview w/ us. His perspective:
Rob Schofield argues the NC Senate's proposals on tax reform will "take the state back to the 1920's." He's technically correct because the state's current tax structure was created in the 1930s, during the Great Depression.
If you're "into" state politics, these two interviews are worth ten minutes of your time. In the 2013 NC General Assembly legislative session, the Democratic party doesn't have the numbers to defeat legislation; super-majority Republican strength sits in both the state House and Senate. But, there are numerous ideas for tax reform from all the different Republicans. Right now, you'll hear those opinions, unofficially, in the legislative cafeteria and in the halls of the General Assembly building. Who knows how many of these ideas will receive official attention from legislative Republican leaders who control how bills will flow through the legislative process.

Confused about framing
I am enclosing a pole barn. Slab is down, electricals done, sill plate and studs this week.
Here is my problem:
I am putting in 2 garage doors. There are 2 end supports and a center support in place right now. Total width is 24 feet. Originally I wanted to get 9 foot wide doors. Each opening is 136 inches. So a nine foot door means I need to enclose 14 inches on either side of each door. I had considered bolting together either 4 4x4 or 8 2x4. Either way I am concerned about flexing even with a header attached.
I had considered just a small framing on either end but framing a width of just 14 inches sounds odd. I would than have to attach a stud and a piece of siding.
Now if I go to a 10 foot door I am looking at filling 8 inches on either side.
This seems more plausible. 2 4x4 together with bolts or lag screws gets me to 7 inches and from there maybe a 1x and trim.
I even considered block but not going that direction.
Any help is appreciated.
How can the wiring be done if the walls are not up yet?
Got a picture of what you have there now?
Not going to need to use lags or bolts to just frame in a wall, jack and king studs. Just nails is all you need.
A 14" wide wall in no problem. Just going to need at least 2, jack studs, 3 would be better.
3 Attachment(s)
I know I could frame the sides but didnt want to deal with 14 in piece of siding.
Any problem with my idea of 2 4x4 on either side.? Saves me the siding issue
The picture shows the center support. So I am looking to add 8 inches on either side. Again I thought that joining 2 4x4 and the header would do it.
I should mention that I will be adding a 4x4 behind the one pictured. In other words there will be a setback or else the door would close right on the dirt. I thought a nice apron (threshold of 4 inches would be wise.
Is the frame method preferred for any reason aside from less wood?
How do you plan on anchoring 4 X 4's to the slab?
4 X 4's just love to twist, and curl when they dry out.
I'd bet your going to regret installing the wiring the way you did and not having any wall or outside outlets.
What do you do now if you plan on installing a simple work bench or build something in there?
If someone decides to insulate and sheetrock or sheath at some point all the wirings going to have to be redone.
Why not do ALL your adding, no matter what size doors you choose, on either side of the center support? Leave both outer sides alone. The way you have it now, your two cars are going to be almost on top of one another.
Regarding the 4x4 twisting i would imagine that a good size lag screw at the bottom would work, no?

the outside looked nice and i'm sure some rooms are nicer than the one we booked. the furnishings in our room were tatty with chips stained and cracked. we ended up with lots of bites from the bed. thought it was a bit overpriced for the industrial area it is situated and the room itself. only stayed one nite of the three.
well appointed cottage offered relaxing surroundings; recption staff were very helpful with excursion bookings Dreadful liaison between hotel and restaurant; latter did not understand the package we were on, leading to embarrassing arguments about a dinner bill. I particularly objected to being cross-questioned about which member of staff had given me what information; I do not ask the names; I do expect to be trusted.
It was all good
Really nice, it was a good surprise to get a small house (2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room) for the price of a comfortable room.
rooms are very intime and romantic; the restaurant is really excellent; property is very well maintained and managed, in a beautiful environment. Rooms are a little small (but really just a bit)
A dream resort. No lift for the upper floors
The accommodations were great. The room was clean and everything worked. But what makes this property shine is the staff. The reception desk was extremely helpful. Even loaning us towels for the beach after we checked out! I would gladly stay here again.
Very clean, spacious, quality fittings. Good central city location. Pleasant helpful reception.
The room was big enough to be an apartment with a fully operational kitchen. It was the nicest accommodation on our month long trip to Australia and New Zealand. The innkeepers were very nice and helpful and welcoming. Very good value for the money.
Central location Front of office did not make eye contact with the people waiting to be served at check out time. An acknowlegement "I will be with you soon" makes clients feel that they are at least in the system.
The concierge/front desk helped us plan a cruise/ tour of Abel Tasman N. Park which was the highlight of our trip to nz. Great last minute planning. There was no room safe.
Proximity to city centre. Room facilities. Helpful staff in breakfast room. Availability of parking. Large fee for late checkout. Glass shower screens leak causing water to pool on bathroom floor.
if you have to stay at this hotel, request a room with a view of the church. Also, the hotel was clean and had nice shampoo. In the 2 weeks that we spent traveling throughout NZ, we have had wonderful accommodations with the Rutherford being the exception. This hotel does not belong in the luxury category, although by the decor and age of the bedspread (yes, I said bedspread) and bed linens perhaps it once was. The lobby is stale and lifeless even in high season. Customer service was poor. And the very worst part, THEY RATION WIFI DATA!! Good luck browsing the internet to plan your activities, email friends and family back home or share your photos on social media!!
The complimentary dressing gowns. Poor quality buffet breakfast. One view was enough to move us to other providers close by in town.
I liked our dinner at Miyazu Teppan Yaki Restaurant. Our Chef was from Phillipines (Alvin?) (sorry I can't recall his name) but he was really friendly and gave us a great experience.
It provided a great "home base" for our stay in Nelson - good location, comfortable, good facilities, helpful (mostly) staff. We had to go to the Visitors' Centre to arrange an afternoon arts and wine tour. Restaurant menu a bit limited.
the location and excellent room for 3 people. we were there over a long weekend and their feature Japanese restuarant was closed!!
The convenience - close proximity to shops, cafes, etc. Only one bathrobe in room; difficulty of filling jug from bathroom tap.
The recognition of having stayed before and the personalised message and gift. Quiet, warm and comfortable.
the convienence of the accommodation - we could walk everywhere - also very clean and friendly
We did enjoy our stay very much, was perfect
The room was great- large and had a well-equipped kitchen. There was also a carport for our car. The owners were very friendly.
This Motel was very good value for money. It was everything we needed for a short stay in Nelson. The owner was very friendly and eager to be of help and the rooms spacious. A little dated but this didn't bother us as it was perfectly clean. 5 minute drive (20 minute walk) from Nelson Town but again we had our car so was not a big issue.
Free internet connection
I enjoyed my stay at the Arcadia, the service was excellent. They helped me find activities to do in the area, and helped me booking those activities. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
Lovely and well-decorated Victorian style house.Stayed at a few B&B before, but this one has the best cooked breakfast and interior decor. Walking distance to restaurants and NZ center(a lovely hiking trail for an overview of Nelson).Welcoming hosts. Nothing at all.

Actually, it is rocket science
There are jerseys, and then there are Giordana jerseys. And when staying warm dictates whether or not you're going to make it out for a ride, putting your faith in Giordana is the sound decision. With the new Giordana FormaRed Carbon Long Sleeve Jersey, you don't have to compromise race-day fit for warmth. Even better, the jersey is highly breathable, stretchable, and beyond comfortable. Stay warm and get riding.
To make the FormaRed Carbon a jersey that's both warm and breathable, Giordana constructed it from its new Dual Fit Strong fabric. This material employs what Giordana calls its Reduced Point of Contact technology. Sounds pretty self-explanatory, right? Well, you're kind of right. Like the name suggests, the fabric minimizes the points of contact between the skin and the jersey, but how this is achieved is the true magic. Dual Fit Strong uses a dual-weave for this reduction. On top of this, the fabric is spun into a spiral shape and given an Interpower treatment. Now for the explanation. The dual-weave is more open than typical weaves. It promotes elasticity and stretch while generating greater micro-circulation of air between the jersey and the skin. Additionally, the spiral shape funnels moisture away from the skin, so you stay dry and warm throughout heavy efforts. And needless to say, the less contact that your skin has with any material, the more that the possibility of abrasion and chafing are minimized.
For storage, Giordana covered all of the bases. The jersey comes equipped with three rear cargo pockets and zippered security pocket. There's also a hidden pocket for your media device that's been mated with internal routing for your headphones. For on-the-fly ventilation, the jacket has a full-length, reverse Camlock zipper. And to protect you from cold air infiltration, the jacket uses Aerofix at the tall collar and cuffs.
To heighten your visibility in low-light conditions, Giordana has included reflective accents throughout the jersey.
The Giordana FormaRed Carbon Long Sleeve Jersey is available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the colors Black/black, Red/black, and White/black.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
great jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: large
This jersey really worked for me. It's all about fit; all the manufacturers make nice products; just have to find one that fits right. I'm 6 feet tall with a 39 inch chest and a size large fit perfect. A little breathing room but that's how I wanted it. I think this Forma Red line runs a little tight. Only wore it a couple times, but have been very pleased. The zipper is easy to work one handed while riding and the collar isn't too high. The zipper pouch is a nice touch for comfort. The fabric is soft and comfortable. For the price it's a real nice jersey. I've used it in temps in the high 50's with wind and seemed to be perfect. very soft and comfortable fabric next to the skin.
Comfortable and Warm
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I wear the long sleeved FormaRed jersey regularly on cold day. Extremely soft and comfortable fabric that is form fitting and doesn't flap in the wind. Perfect jersey for temps in the 50s to upper 40s (with a vest). I prefer this jersey for my longer rides because I forget that it is even there.
Its not the most stylish jersey out there but it performs the way I want it to. The zippered pocket is an added bonus for storing keys and other important items (like ID).
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Beautiful Italian design and handmade in Italy quality.
I road this jersey for most of last winter, about 1500 miles and I personally never experienced the problems mentioned by Greg M. in his review. Your mileage may vary. I have a muscular trim body builder type physique and usually, the race fit FRC jerseys are way too tight and uncomfortable for me to wear. This jersey is the one exception. I wear this jersey with either a light weight short sleeve base layer or a Craft long sleeve base layer and the fit is very trim body hugging snug but not race fit uncomfortable tight. The fabric is soft, breathable and very comfortable for So. Calif. dry winter temps in the 50's to low 60's. With a light weight pack-able windproof jacket like the Sportful Ultra Light WS, I can ride in just about any weather conditions down into the mid 40's and I'm very comfortable. I've even worn this jersey comfortably in a light rain. I haven't experienced any problems with the fabrics or seams and the Giordana pockets hold there shape well. When it's time for long sleeve jerseys, I usually wear this Giordana FRC jersey or the Assos IJ Tiburu4.
FYI: 5'8.5" 161 lbs, 32" waist 41" chest. Wear size large in this jersey
Try something else
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Usually Giordana is one of my favorite mfg's for cycle products, not this one. The seams are large and bothersome and it binds under the arm pits. Tried it on and sent it back, my hope is this was just a one time anomaly.
I want everything in this fabric
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Perfect for a sunny 50 and change degree day. Pack a vest and you're golden. The fabric has a fantastic face, the zipper is quality and the fluo is bright. What more can you ask for?
Fit is definitely Euro- size up if you're used to american sizing.

Canadians Feel Cheated After Gold Cup Semi
by Soccer America
Unsurprisingly, the Canadian press is irate that Atiba Hutchinson's goal in the last minute of the CONCACAF semifinal against the U.S. was disallowed. The Americans, 2-1 winners, can argue they were the better team, but Canada really deserved more from its comeback, which began in the 75th minute when Iain ...

May 14, 2009
I had it two weeks ago (lap and hysteroscopy)...I bled for 5 days after (light) and now I have no idea what to expect of my cycle. I am on CD 19 and still no positive ovulation on my predictor kit. I usually ovulate late if I am not taking drugs (femara was what I was but not this month) so am I just going to ovulate late or am I just totally messed up. When will I get my period?

I was just wondering how most people carry their ccw. Do you keep the saftey on and flick it off as you draw or have the gun in the holster with the saftey off. Personally I have trained myself to flick the saftey off on the draw..

I was just wondering how most people carry their ccw. Do you keep the saftey on and flick it off as you draw or have the gun in the holster with the saftey off. Personally I have trained myself to flick the saftey off on the draw..
Guns with safeties, the safety is on.
I prefer to carry the guns that do not have safeties, but I have both.
Some, like the PPK (I hear), must have the safety on to prevent drop-discharges.
My S&W .40c doesn't have a safety other than the trigger. My .45 is always carried cocked and locked.
Brought up on 1911s and as such, always use the safety.
I prefer to have no manual safety including grip and/or trigger safety.
If you carry a gun with a manual safety, USE IT!!
My carry gun is equipped with a decocker, no safety, just draw and squeeze the trigger.
I keep mine cocked and locked. I like the SA pull better than the DA pull......
If it is designed with a safety and to have it on, yes. If it is designed to not have a manual safety, then no. I have both. I would always carry my Springfield loaded cocked and locked. My glocks and M&P don't have a manual safety.
Hey aglaser: Think you got all the right answers. My kel tec P3AT has a very long and hard trigger pull and no safety--can't really see a need for one. Firearm is in holster, trigger is covered, I'm aware of its design. No problem. I would think that unless the trigger is really very soft and not in a holster that covers the trigger, common sense says to use the safety. Ask Plaxico Burris how he performed his near manhoodectemy.
I don't have a safety on any of my carry guns but I am looking at getting a full sized M&P that will have a thumb safety and I will carry it with it on.
No safeties unless it is a SA, which I carry cocked and locked.
Safeties are for single action autoloaders. Were I to carry a double action autoloader with a safety, it'd be off.
Always carry a 1911 cocked and locked, love the SA trigger, but would carry any other gun the same way if available.
My two main guns are a little different from each other. The pocket gun has a safety and it's on. The reason is if I even sense increased danger, I put my hands in my pockets. I can look and move normally, but I've got the safety off and the handle in my hand. The gun can be drawn quickly if needed.
My bigger gun is a 1911 style .45 with a decocker and a safety. I find that carrying it decocked and unlocked is very safe, yet allows a fast draw with the DA trigger on the first round. I practice that way and feel that it's a more secure first round than maybe missing or forgetting the safety on a quick draw.
But that's just me.

Go MAD and Make A Difference
I think one of the main concerns in my life today is ecology.
I think one of the main concerns in my life today is ecology. Our Planet is being ripped apart by corporate giants that could care less about anything other than their next Dollar and it's killing us slowly but surely.
Im not going to go on and on about what's happening or how bad it is, I think we all already know how bad it is, or at least have a very good idea. No, instead I'm going to spend my time giving solutions and building awareness, as well as helping others that can actually make a difference. At the very least I hope I'm able to connect those that are wanting and willing to help and have the resources or financials to do so, with the people that know what to do and how to do it, but are lacking in public awareness and capitol.
And one really good team I've found is, Earth Water Foundation.
The EWF is a Non Profit organisation and was founded after several partners from the Water Industry wanted to MAKE A DIFFERENCE, knowing that EVERY DROP COUNTS.
I'm not sure if everyone is aware of this in the Cape, but we're running out of fresh water to drink in the Western Cape, Plans have already been talked about to convert the sea water into drinking water…which isn't exactly the kind of Fresh Water Drinking I had in mind.
EWF have decided to establish the Earth Water Foundation to:

Beer-Braised Rabbit
This recipe is equally delicious with chicken.
Slideshow:Great Comfort Food Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces thickly sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 rabbits, 3 pounds each, cut into 6 pieces each
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed and thinly sliced
- One 12-ounce bottle amber ale
- 3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Toasted bread for serving
How to make this recipe
In a large, enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the olive oil. Add the bacon and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Season the rabbit with salt and pepper and add half to the casserole. Cook over moderately high heat, turning once until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the rabbit to the plate with the bacon. Brown the remaining rabbit and transfer it to the plate when done.
Add the onion, carrots, garlic and jalapeño to the casserole and cook over moderate heat until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Return the rabbit and bacon to the pan. Add the beer and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cook partially covered over low heat until the rabbit is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the rabbit to a platter and boil the sauce until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 2 of tablespoons water and whisk into the sauce. Cook over high heat until thickened and no floury taste remains, about 2 minutes.
Pull the meat from the bones and return it to the casserole. Simmer just until heated through. Serve the rabbit over the bread in shallow bowls.
Make Ahead
The braise can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.

How to Access Blocked Websites in Austria?
Following the European trend, Austria has blocked access to major torrent and streaming websites. According to a report in Austria's Future Zone Technology News, four Austrian ISPs have received formal letters, ordering them to block some of the most important file sharing and streaming sites. The letters were sent by VAP (the Association against Piracy); the Hollywood studio-backed Austrian lobby organization intended to prevent movie piracy.

Lloyds Banking Group, which is partly owned by the taxpayer, was today fined £4.2 million by the City regulator for failing to pay tens of thousands of customers compensation in time.
The Financial Services Authority found that over an 11-month period Lloyds failed to send compensation to more than 140,000 customers who had been mis-sold payment protection insurance within its promised 28 days. Some had to wait for more than six months for their payment.
Lloyds has had to set aside
£5.3 billion to cover handling and paying compensation for PPI mis-selling.
The taxpayer owns 39 per cent of Lloyds after it and HBOS's £20 billion bail-out in 2008.

Kelly Clarkson Glows in the Dark While Performing 'People Like Us,' Gushes Over Mariah Carey on 'American Idol'
Kelly Clarkson is an American original, and not just because she was the Season 1 winner of 'American Idol.' The girl doesn't care about anything but belting out songs and as a result, she is super cute and without an ounce of pretense. She returned to the stage that launched her career on tonight's (April 11) results episode. She performed her new single, the rockin', uptempo 'People Like Us.' She also wasn't shy about being an uber fan girl for Mariah Carey.

Being in the service business, there's a lot that can go wrong. It's in my nature to worry about anything that doesn't go as planned, but as we continue to grow, that's just not feasible. I'd end up worrying all day long, every single day, and not actually getting any work done. There has to be a good way to cull this down so that I only worry about the things that really need my attention.
In our business, notifications can be sent out at the wrong time, or even not at all. Our concierge could miss a customer request or just not respond quickly enough. We could also accidentally fail to give updated information from time to time. Things change very quickly, so that's not completely out of the realm of possibility (thought it's incredibly rare). In a high touch business like this, it's easy for the experience to not be perfect, even if ultimately it's just a very small blemish that the customer might not even really care about.
As I mentioned, it's my nature to completely obsess over anything that goes wrong, but I just can't do that. I need to find a good way to separate what's really an issue versus what's a minor blip. Part of that is having the right people on the job. I know that if something goes wrong, my concierges will let me know. I can't have people working for me who try to cover up mistakes. I need people to tell me when something happens and then we can decide what to do about it, if anything. The concierges know that if it's just a slightly late email or something else tiny, then I don't need to be bothered.
But even then, I hate knowing that a client has had an imperfect experience. I've learned over the years what tends to be a big deal and what's not, but much of it also depends on knowing the client. Some clients are more critical of small issues than others. On the flip side, there are larger issues that will be a problem for any client. For that reason, I have to push myself to rely on client feedback more. Our clients will let us know when something goes wrong that bothers them.
If it's a large issue, then I'm worrying about it and getting involved. That's how it should be. But if it's small, then I need to rely on my concierges to handle it or for our clients to let me know that there's something bothering them. The hardest part there, of course, is knowing where to draw the line.

It looks like it will be able to. According to the ATmega2560 data sheet, the temperature range is -40C - +85C, which is typical for most industrial ICs. I would go through the BOM and check the temperature ranges on each component. The smallest ranged component will be the weakest link.

Germany's interior ministry said the three were police officers deployed to Afghanistan in order to protect the German embassy.
The Taleban said recently they were targeting Kabul and the city has seen many lethal bombings in recent months.
The British embassy has also confirmed that a UK national has been shot dead in Kabul.
Police bus
The convoy was reportedly 10km (six miles) south-east of Kabul on the Jalalabad road and travelling to a shooting range when it was hit.
One of the vehicles was blown onto its side.
Helicopters arrived at the scene and took the bodies away, witnesses said.
A fourth German officer was wounded but his injuries are not life-threatening.
Germany's Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble condemned the "underhanded attack".
German investigators were being sent to investigate the explosion, he said.
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: "I learned of the deaths of three employees of the German embassy in Kabul with deep sadness and horror.
"Those behind this attack must be investigated and dealt with as soon as possible."
The Taleban have been stepping up bomb attacks in the capital.
In June, a police bus was bombed there killing up to 35 people, the most devastating attack in Kabul since the Taleban were ousted in 2001.
The Taleban kidnapped two Germans last month in Wardak province. One was found shot dead on 21 July, the other is still believed to be alive.
Germany has about 3,000 troops in Afghanistan.

They had a steampunk inspired wedding styled by the amazing Anne Kelley of Atrendy Wedding and the team at Capital Decor and Events. It was lovely. Not only was the wedding decor beautiful, but the couple, surrounded by family and friends, married their best friend. I hope you enjoy sharing the day through these photos as much as I enjoyed watching these two get married. Congrats!
Ceremony and Reception: Carnegie Institute of Science
Wow, this cake was amazing:
The couple had an outfit change at the end of the night:
And a donut truck was available at the end of the night:

When Alison and Eric mentioned the term steampunk in their first meeting, I was clueless. But the term kept coming up- on TV: CBS News Sunday Morning, on Etsy, in movies including Hugo (OH my, the light in this movie is just stunning), and Sherlock Holmes. I was especially excited to hear that Anne from Atrendy Wedding and the team at Capital Decor would be on hand to make this couple's steampunk inspired wedding come to life. I never had a chance to blog this couple's engagement photos, so I'm going to include a few of my favorites to get us started and tomorrow I will post the wedding photos and all the details of their big day!

Have you heard about Dazzling Details? It's a unique event I am co-hosting with Carla David of Carla David Designs. We are gathering all the final details a couple needs for their wedding in one place. It's a shopping experience for the bride-to-be. I don't want to give away all the surprises, but there is going to be some serious SWAG going on at this event including a getting ready kit and luggage tags. Check out the website and get your ticket. VIP tickets get you breakfast and extra swag. General admission is a steal, too with all the goodies you'll take away. I hope you can join us on April 22nd at the Historic Manor House in Savage, MD! Dazzling Details Website

Kate Walsh Promotes "Private Practice"
Kate Walsh has been enjoying her time hanging out in Sydney since arriving at the Quay Grand Hotel on Wednesday morning (February 27).
Accompanied by hubby Alex Young, the Private Practice babe is Down Under to promote her show, along with her new movie, One Way to Valhalla.
Meanwhile, it was recently announced that "Kate won't be performing in Good Medicine, a musical benefit at UCLA's Royce Hall on Friday to benefit crew members who were affected by the strike."
To this regard, Kate apologized to fans, writing:
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry and I am sorry I have to be so sorry but still, I do, because I am writing to let you know that despite my initial commitments, I won't be able to participate in 'Good Medicine.' I wanted to come, I really, really did — but I can't. I have a prior commitment that I tried to get out of and couldn't. I am so sorry. And so so so bummed. I am so bummed not only that we can't be there for you and our crew, but because I hate to miss what promises to be an unbelievably great evening. Audra McDonald, Sara Ramirez and Loretta Devine (known to you as the chief's wife, Adele. She played Effie in the very first Broadway Production of Dreamgirls) are singing! Not to mention T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson, Amy Brenneman and Paul Adelstein, Tim Daly and Chris Lowell… they're all going to sing! And so are Chief Webber and his real-life wife Gina, also a Broadway veteran. Aside from all the music, there will be appearances by Katherine Heigl, Brooke Smith, Sandra Oh, Justin Chambers, Chyler Leigh, Eric Dane and Taye Diggs. Basically everyone's gonna be there. Except me. I cannot believe I have to miss this. Crap. Our crews are the people who make all of it possible. I am so excited this evening is happening to raise money for them and so so sad I won't be there. I hope you forgive us and I hope you have a wonderful time.
With Love and Regret,
Kate Walsh"

Enjoy the pictures of Kate out and about Syney on Wednesday (February 27).

Groups meet throughout the year for seminars, discussions, and other activities. These groups are a part of CATL and TLT's year-long program offerings to enhance teaching and learning.
Course Design Working Groups (CDWG) involve a small number of faculty (typically 4 per group) who are designing a new course or rethinking an existing course. Some groups share common themes (such as faculty developing GST seminars), but most groups are made up of faculty who individually express interest in joining a group. Groups meet four times during the semester, for about two hours per meeting. In these meetings, the group discusses each participant's course -- with group members responding to the questions/topics that most interest the person who is designing the course.
During the group process, you will focus on a single course of your choosing; you might concentrate on a new course that you will teach soon, or a course you've taught before but that you would like to rethink.
Many Elon faculty have joined a course design group since the fall of 2005. Most have found the process to be productive and collegial; for example, one person in a summer 2006 group recently wrote: "I had a look at student evaluations of the course you helped me revise during our design group last summer. They were hands down the best evaluations I've ever received. I owe all of you a debt of thanks and give you lot of credit."
The group meets four times, for no longer than two hours per meeting. Meetings are scheduled at the convenience of the group members, occurring typically every-other week. If you are interested in joining a course development group this semester, please contact Deandra Little.
The New Faculty Coffee Program emerged in 2006 during a faculty meeting vote in favor of informal peer mentoring on teaching and from focus groups and surveys with new faculty who expressed a strong desire for informal opportunities to talk one-on-one with colleagues about teaching and learning.
Modeled on the "take a student to lunch" program, the New Faculty Coffee Program works like this – one new faculty and one other Elon person get coffee together at Irazu. During coffee, they talk about teaching and learning. When it is time to pay, they tell the server that coffee is on the New Faculty Coffee Program. The server will swipe both diners' Phoenix Cards, but there will be no charge on either card. CATL pays for the coffee.
The program's goal is to create new opportunities, ideally across departmental lines, for informal conversations around teaching and learning. Please use the program for that purpose. The program exists only during the fall semester, so don't wait to have coffee with your new colleagues. Contact Deandra Little if you have questions.
Research suggests that small mentoring groups (rather than 1:1 relationships in which one person is the "expert") can be powerful and effective for professionals like faculty, especially when members of these groups set their own goals. This approach has been coined "mutual mentoring."
CATL's mutual mentoring program is open to full-time faculty. If you volunteer to be part of a mutual mentoring group, you and a few faculty colleagues (typically 4 per group) will meet together roughly four times each semester, with meeting times established by group members. During each of those meetings, every participant will identify a specific goal or issue which she or he wants to discuss with the group. Other group members serve as mentors by listening, asking questions, and offering either support or challenge, as appropriate, to help each person achieve her or his goals. (See the following document for more details of how the groups work.)
Each group will have access to a small budget for the academic year to use as they see fit to cover expenses of food, coffee, etc., for group meetings.
Questions? Contact Mary Jo Festle or Deandra Little.
How can you evaluate the effectiveness of your own teaching and your students' learning? What is the impact of a new pedagogical strategy on your students' learning? How might you turn your classroom research into published peer-reviewed scholarship? If you are interested in pursuing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project, consider joining the SoTL seminar. Each meeting will focus on a specific aspect of SoTL, starting with refining your research question, designing your study, and completing your IRB application. Later sessions will explore methods for collecting & analyzing data, and approaches to going public with your results. This program spans the entire academic year.
Viz Cult at Elon is an inter- and multi-disciplinary body of faculty and staff interested in how visual culture shapes what we do, how we think, and how we learn. This year we will be hosting a series of "brown bag" lunch talks sponsored by faculty and staff from across the University. We will also continue to discuss the role that visual culture and visual pedagogies play in a liberal arts curriculum, as well as develop our virtual presence for Viz Cult @ Elon, and serve as advocates for more, and more appropriate, spaces for image-centered teaching and learning. For more information, visit the Viz Cult website or Facebook page.

Approximately 60% of Americans use social media, and an overwhelming majority of these (93%) say companies should have a social media presence, while 85% of social media users believe these companies should not only be present but should interact with consumers through social media, according to research from Cone.
Among social media users, 59%� interact with companies on social media websites and one in four interacts more than once per week. Some 56% of social-media users feel both a stronger connection with and better served by companies when they can interact with them in a social media environment.
When social media users were asked about specific types of interactions, they said:
"The news here is that Americans are eager to deepen their brand relationships through social media," said Mike Hollywood, director of new media for Cone. "It isn't an intrusion into their lives, but rather a welcome channel for discussion."
Other findings:
"All of this is great news for marketers," Hollywood said. "Men and younger consumers are traditionally the most challenging to reach, while the highest-income households are typically very desirable; here they are saying 'come market to us and interact with us online.' This is really a license to put more energy and resources into this medium and do it effectively."
About the study: The 2008 Cone Business in Social Media Study was conducted online, September 11-12, 2008 by Opinion Research Corporation. It surveyed 1,092 adults comprising 525 men and 567 women 18 and older.

Yosemite Creek Campground
Other Nearby Campgrounds
Tamarack Flat
Get your copy
The Yosemite Guide contains information about camping, trip planning, activities, scheduled events, and hours of operations for different facilities and services.
- Denotes which shuttle stop when you see this icon.
Yosemite Creek campground is the most difficult campground to get to in the park. Located a little over an hour from Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Creek Campground is a great place to camp to avoid the crowds of the valley. It is also a first come first served campground and if the other campgrounds are full, this one may have sites open. Expect a slow ride in as the unmaintained paved road full of potholes, bumps and turns leads the way down to the campground. It will take you at least 20 minutes to drive the 4.7 miles and quite a bit more if you get behind a few cars. For those of you who read this, when someone comes up behind you, pull to the side and let them pass.
RV's and trailers are not recommended at this campground, the drive in is just to difficult.
Cost per night is $10 per person per night. There is a self pay station at the entrance to the campground.
The rough granite landscape and high elevation makes for some really nice stargazing.
Each campsite includes a fire pit, a table and a bear proof food locker [33"(D)x45"(W)x18"(H)]. Storing all of your food items, toiletries and coolers is required for the protection of the bears in the area. DO NOT LEAVE FOOD IN YOUR CAR OR RV. Please dispose of all trash immediatly in the bear proof trash cans located around the campground. Restrooms are vault type and are located throughout the campground.
Yosemite Creek has 75 campsites and is open from July to Early September.
Groceries are either 45 minutes west at Crane Flat or 45 minutes east at Tuolumne Meadows.
Showers are in Yosemite Valley at Half Dome Village or Housekeeping Camp. See details below.
Pets are permitted in the campground, but must be on a leash.
Yosemite Valley Information

The country store at Yosemite Village is well stocked with groceries and has an excellent gift shop.
As with all of the campgrounds in Yosemite Valley, space is cramped and campsites are very close to each other.
Half Dome Village (click for a fantastic map from the National park Service), a bit farther east, offers several restaurants including a Pizza Deck (some of the best Pizza I have ever had and should be a stop on everyone's trip to Yosemite), Ice cream shop/ coffee bar, A Taqueria, a Dining Pavilion (Buffet style), A small bar that serves an excellent local draft selection located next to the Pizza Deck. Also at Half Dome Village is a mountaineering shop and mountaineering school, a store and gift shop, an amphiteather, a public pool, showers and a Lounge that has open WIFI access.

Anglican plan won't alter celibacy for most priests
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican said on Monday its plan to allow married Anglican priests to convert to Catholicism does not signal any change to its age-old rule of celibacy for the overwhelming majority of Catholic priests.
The Vatican stressed its position in a preface to Pope Benedict's Apostolic Constitution "Anglicanorum Coetibus" (Groups of Anglicans) regulating the admission of Anglican converts to Catholicism, including married priests and bishops.
"The possibility envisioned by the Apostolic Constitution for some married clergy within the Personal Ordinariates (the structure for ex-Anglicans) does not signify any change in the Church's discipline of clerical celibacy," it said.
The Vatican announced last month an initiative to make it easier for conservative Anglicans who feel their church has become too liberal to convert to Catholicism. This stirred widespread speculation on what it could eventually mean for the celibacy rule in the Roman Catholic church.
There was also speculation about whether men who had left the Catholic priesthood to marry and later became Anglicans could return to the Catholic priesthood and remain married.
The constitution ruled out this possibility and also said unmarried Anglican priests who convert must remain celibate after their conversion and ordination as Catholic priests.
When the initiative was announced on October 20, some Catholic dissidents described it as important ammunition for supporters of a married priesthood.
The constitution says that "as a rule" only celibate men will be admitted to the Roman Catholic priesthood but that the admission of married Anglican priests will be decided on a case by case basis after a petition made to the pope. Continued...

Is It Really 12 Degrees In Atlanta?
I saw this on the news and couldn't believe it. Anyone in that area, is it true?
Yes it is.01-16-2009, 12:21 PM #3
Wow, that can't happen very often. Hope you don't get any precipitation!
I lived on the piedmont in NC for several years and they practically closed the roads when it frosted. And any little bit of snow had them completely demoralized. I can understand their attitude since I'm sure their road crews aren't prepared like those in the frozen north (-17 here today).
Good luck and stay warm.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements01-16-2009, 12:32 PM #401-16-2009, 01:50 PM #5

We're not in Atlanta, but here in middle Tennessee, we were -3 degrees here yesterday.
The weather person said it was the coldest day they've had in 6 years, it figures it would happen the first year we moved here after living in Florida for the last 6 years.
They cancelled schools yesterday just because it was so cold, they didn't want the kids having to get up and go outside to catch the buses.
No snow whatsoever, just frigid cold, brrrrrrr.................................

Description: An Agatha Award Best Novel Nominee Named One of the Century's Best 100 Mysteries by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association From "New York Times" bestselling author Laurie R. King comes the book that introduced us to the ingenious Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes mysteries In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles into his lap on the Sussex downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protegee, and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. This first book of the Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes mysteries is full of brilliant deduction, disguises, and danger.

Why is hunting neccessary?
I don't like hunting and don't understand why some people think its needed some like myself disagree with hunting.
It's a sport for some and for some it may be part of survival? I don't like it either maybe because I'm a girl soft at heart.

Game management, theres no more predators and if we dont kill the animals theyll overpopulate and then crash.:p
If it's done legally, responsibly, and humanely, and you eat what you kill, I have no problem with hunting.
Lobo, how do you feel about predators? They hunt, kill and eat other animals. Is that wrong?
I was a very poor single parent that relied on food banks to get through the week. I made friends with a family that hunted and used the meat to supplement protein. She could cook venison and elk beautifully and the sausage and jerky that they had made was rich and delicious. It was better than the cheap, nasty meat that I could buy.
I don't hunt and I dislike hunting for sport but if you are going to eat meat, it's best to know where it comes from.
I agree that as long as you do it legally, humanely, and you eat it then there is nothing wrong with it. To me it is better than farming animals, then herding them up and slaughtering them en masse. At least with hunting they have a chance to escape and such.
Unless you're a vegetarian, I think it's a bit hypocritical to be against sustenance hunting. Now sport hunting is another thing entirely, and I think it is stupid. Killing for the fun of it or to be able to brag about the animals you killed seems like a waste of life.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Let me preface with I've never personally hunted an animal.
At the same time, SW PA had and still has a horrible White Tailed Deer problem. I can't count how many car wrecks were caused by deer just darting out into the road, or just being in the middle of the road. The deer were also human aggressive. I can't count how many times during my 24 years in Pittsburgh I was chased back into my house by deer who just didn't give a darn when trying to go to school, or walking my dog. There's nothing like trying to go to your car at 5 am...and then having to call your boss and tell them you are going to be late because there were five deer standing around your car and all the yelling and screaming in the world did nothing but irk them and make them come after you.
Hunting was the only thing that kept the numbers down. I'd rather a hunter take the animal and use it for meat to feed their family and friends than Fish and Game doing night hunts in your back yard and not giving the meat to needy families. The minute my neighbors got permission for cull hunting (higher tag limits due to nuisance deer and permission for out of season hunts) the problem deer went away and it wasn't so crazy. During rutting season and during any deer rushes (seasonal movement) we didn't have to worry as much about getting caught by a deer. It extended to other animals.
Personally, I love wild game. There's not much wild game that I haven't sampled, but I only eat off of what was being used for food, not sport. Sport hunting does nothing for me and I wish it was outlawed. I feel, unless you are using the entire animal, you shouldn't be able to take it.
I don't understand how or even why someone would kill a lion or tiger or elephant, what is the purpose?
I dont hunt. never have. But I do receive large quantities of deer meat from friends. Saves me money on meat during the winter. As everyone says as long as its legal then I have no problems with hunting animals for sport or survival. People fish too, killing animals..but we have to rely on the laws to protect the animals as well from illegal killings
Being soft is not the same as being weak.
Being cruel is not the same as being strong.
Being clever is not the same as being wise.

Intel, I'd start getting worried if I were you...
Continuing the relentless push of ARM-based chipsets into the smartphone market today is Marvell, which has joined Qualcomm and Nvidia with a Snagpdragon and Tegra 2 beating chipset of its own.
The chip maker has announced the latest addition to its Armada series and the '618' is a doozy. Using an ARM v7 design, the Armada 618 matches its rivals with a 1GHz CPU and courts the gaming sector with 3G graphics capable of 45m triangles per second rendering, a complete floating point pipeline and unified vertex and fragment/pixel shading. It is also compatible with DirectX, Open GL ES 2.0 and Open VG 1.1.
From here things get even more interesting with support for Full HD 1080p video playback, 533MHz DDR2 memory, integrated 802.11n WiFi and HDMI. Furthermore, Marvell claims the Armada 618 operates at up to twice the speed of Snapdragon in real world tests giving it "PC-class performance", and also says it will deliver superior battery life. Marvell didn't put any figures behind these statements, so we'll just have to wait and see.
We're waiting on Marvell to announce design wins for the Armada 618, but the company has already said it is compatible with Linux, Android, Windows Mobile and full Adobe Flash so expect interest to be high. Next generation smartphones and smartbooks, here we come!
