308, 30-06 at 1500 & 1760
I was inspired by questions raised in this thread:
.308 Bullet Weight effects past 1,000 Yds
My basic premise- would i trust a 308 for man sized targets at 1500 yards? cold bore hits are priority, overall ability to make life difficult for a bad guy at 1500 secondary.
I'll start with conditions- about perfect. It was 40F, barometer said 30.15, 53% humidity, 2-5 mph winds, clear, sunny, cold- aka heaven.
I want to thank MontanaMarine for a few things- the load, the time, the preparation of the course (torture, right?), and for being an all around great guy to shoot with.
here are the rigs (and MontanaMarine's custom tactical shooting mat...)
my Tikka varmint 308 in a Mountain Tactical thumbhole tactical prototype, 20 moa rail, 10x SS, harris 6-9 swivels, duct tape & foam cheek. I modded the bolt stop & mag to feed 3.004" cases (still need to do something about the tilting follower, but Jason's on it- right Jason?). My loads are copied from MontanaMarine all the way- 48.5 gr R-17 under 208 amax's at 3.004" COAL
MontanaMarine's 30-06- i"ll let him fill in the details, because i'd likely get them wrong...
I recently switched triggers, so i took a 'zero check' shot at 100 & made my 3 clicks left to get it back to zero. Then i let it cool so i could honestly approach this from a cold bore perspective.
OK, we didn't have an actual 1500 yard target lined out, so MontanaMarine suggested that since he had a mile target already verified, why not just start there & work on the 1500 yard target after. Seemed like a good idea to me.
I'm a little sleep deprived (thanks to my 3 year old) & don't remember what MontanaMarine's first string looked like- sorry, man, you gotta fill that in, too. I do remember his first shot being low (and later realizing that his rifle was zeroed ~1"-1 1/2" low at 100), and we had some difficulty getting good splash to call hits & misses. We moved from the original .5 mil rock to a slightly smaller bush to its left & got good dust for spotting shots. Accuracy was better than I expected for a 30-06 at a mile.
Now we had a dependable target for spotting shots, so I slithered up to my 308 & consulted Shooter. My scope cap dope chart ends at 1500- which will be fixed soon ;) , so i went with the app.
1) I dialed 24.6 mils, & held left edge. First shot, cold bore- missed 1 mil low & .5 mil right.
2) held 1 mil up & .3 left- missed .5 right of target- elevation was on target, but lowish
3) held 1.2 mil up & .5 left- missed .2 mil right, good elevation
4) held 1.2 mil up & .7 left- hit at 3 o'clock on the edge
5) held 1.2 mil up & 1 mil left- hit near center
You could say that i was encouraged...
Our solution to not having a 1500 yard target was to move 260 yards closer to the mile target. The light had changed enough that we weren't getting good spots on MontanaMarine's first string at the bush from the mile setup, so I gotta ask you to fill in the details again... I should have kept notes on both...
My dope card goes to 1500, and has been verified out to 1200, so i was more confident about the 1500 yard round.
Atmospherics: 4330ft, 45F, 30.12, 56% humidity
I dialed 19 mils & fired- the first string of 5 was difficult to spot- we both think i hit most of them, but decided to shoot the original .5 mil rock that wasn't showing splash earlier. It was all good now. Of course, he had to go & shoot a chunk off of the right edge & make it smaller for me, but I didn't mind.
second string- much better visibility for calling hits & misses
1) held .5 right- missed .3 off right edge at 3 o'clock
2) held top third- hit, center
3) held center- hit 7 o'clock edge
4) held center- hit 4 o'clock edge
5) held top center- hit 12 o'clock on the top edge of the rock (double splash)
My 2 cents- if I could take handloads (or Mexican match some 208's into the mix somehow on deployment), I would feel pretty darned cocky with my little 308 taking 1500 yard shots.

Re: 308, 30-06 at 1500 & 1760
Rob, great day shooting for sure.
My first string at 1760 was about 1.5 mils low. I was shooting RL17, maybe it was runnig a little slower in the cooler morning, cooler air a little thicker, and my zero was about 1" low at 100 as I found out at the end of the day. I hadn't shot this rifle at paper in probably a year, and had pulled the scope off the Badger rail for cleaning at one point so that sorta opens the door to a zero shift.
The bush we shot at at 1760 we mil'd and estimated at roughly 20" tall, 30" wide.
At 1500 I was a tad low, adjusted, and went to hitting consistently on the rock that we estimated about 18"x 20".
Lighting was a little tricky in the overcast skies and shadows, but when the sun showed itself we were seeing very visible back-lit splashes, as we were shooting somewhat toward the sun (south).
We spent three or four hours working on targets. My data sheet was pretty much dead on out to 1200 yards or so, but was coming up a little short past that distance.
At the end of the day I wanted to verify my 100 yard zero, shot a three-shot group at 100 yards, it was .327", and about .75 moa low. That explained part of my low hits at distance.

Re: 308, 30-06 at 1500 & 1760
I can tell you there is a significant difference between shooting 1760, and 1500, with the 308/30-08 and the 208 AMax. 1760 felt to me like we were really pushing it, even in conditions that were about as good as it ever gets.
Closing the distance to 1500 yards made everything seem a lot more responsive regarding corrections, and hit repeatability. for comparison, with my 30-06, I was dialing 58 moa at 1500 yards, and 80 moa at 1760 yards.
When we pulled it in to 1125 yards, it was like child's play. I was at 34 moa.

Re: 308, 30-06 at 1500 & 1760
What speeds are you guys producing?
I have been thinking about digging my 06 out and installing my NF on it for some LR experience in this configuration. I have a friend who wants to build a LR rig but is gone for 6 weeks guiding. My thought is that he should use his 3006 and properly scope it. My rifle is currently shooting a 180 Nosler AB at 3/8 @100 and with a 3.5-10 I have shot several 1.25 to 1.5" groups at 300. I zero'd the rifle at 300. I have not chrono'd this load but I suspect it is around 2650 and the next best load is around 2750 and shoots 5/8th. I would probably take the higher speed load for LR. It is 2 grains stronger.

Re: 308, 30-06 at 1500 & 1760
My 30-06 has a 22.5" barrel (Douglas, #7, 1/10, stainless), and my load was 55gr RL17 in Norma brass, moly'd 208 AMax at 3.40" oal.
I chrono'd the load at 2720 fps in the summer temps about 80F. At that time I was hitting a mile at about 75 moa. On this outing the temp was about 40F and I needed 79 moa to hit. I suspect lower speeds, probabaly 2650-ish, and denser air were part of the equation.
Back when I was shooting a 26.5" bbl (same bbl before cut/brake) I was loading 60gr RL22 for 2800 fps in summer temps.

At the same time as standby player, Trevor Sinclair, was flying back to London, Murphy fell awkwardly on his left foot towards the end of training today. An X-ray revealed no fracture but the Liverpool midfielder will have a scan tomorrow because of fears of possible bone damage.
Murphy joins Ashley Cole - who missed training with a knee injury - Nicky Butt, Kieron Dyer and David Beckham on the injury list.
Murphy himself was a late replacement for Liverpool clubmate Steven Gerrard, who needed an operation on a groin injury, while captain Beckham is still recuperating from a broken bone in his foot.
The big problem for Eriksson is what to do if Murphy's World Cup is over.
He could ask Sinclair to turn straight around and fly back to South Korea or perhaps turn to Blackburn's midfield player David Dunn, who will play for the England Under-21 team in Switzerland tonight.
Sinclair had earlier asked to go home after Dyer was named in England's squad registered with FIFA last night.

This triggers calcium ion-dependent compound exocytosis of Muc2 mucin (show SLC13A2 ELISA Kits) from the senGC and generates an intercellular gap junction signal; in turn, this signal induces Muc2 secretion from adjacent goblet cells in the upper crypt, which expels bacteria.
HIF-1alpha (show HIF1A ELISA Kits) inhibition decreases MUC2 production and mucinous tumor growth, providing a preclinical rationale for the use of HIF-1alpha (show HIF1A ELISA Kits) inhibitors to treat patients with PMP
colitic Muc2-/- mice have reduced colon CD103 (show ITGAE ELISA Kits)+ CD11b (show ITGAM ELISA Kits)- dendritic cells and increased CD103 (show ITGAE ELISA Kits)- CD11b (show ITGAM ELISA Kits)+ phagocytes.
expression of MUC2 mRNA is found to be more expressed in Eimeria infected females than males
MUC2 silencing increases interleukin (IL)-6 (show IL6 ELISA Kits) secretion by colon cancer cells.
These results suggest that SAA3 (show SAA3 ELISA Kits) plays a role in host innate immunity in the colon by up-regulating MUC2 mucin (show SLC13A2 ELISA Kits) production, which builds a physiological barrier of colonic epithelia against bacterial invasion.
Alterations in the immune compartment due to intestinal bacterial breach in Muc2-/- mice, were investigated.
Meprin beta (show MEP1B ELISA Kits) is an endogenous zinc-dependent metalloprotease (show ADAMTS7 ELISA Kits) now shown to cleave the N-terminal region of the MUC2 mucin (show SLC13A2 ELISA Kits) at two specific sites.
These data suggest that the intestinal mucus layer (Muc2) and core 3 O-glycosylation play critical roles in controlling Salmonella intestinal burdens and intestinal epithelial barrier function, respectively.
Report regiospecific Muc2 O-glycan patterns in mouse stomach, small intestines and colon.
loss of MUC2 expression proved to be a predictor of adverse outcome, while the gain of aberrant expression of MUC5AC and particularly of MUC6 (show MUC6 ELISA Kits) was associated with favorable outcome in colorectal cancer, notably in intermediate stages II and III
This shows for the first time that transamidation is not only stabilizing the skin and the fibrin clot (show TXNDC17 ELISA Kits), but is also important for the correct intracellular processing of MUC2 to generate protective mucus.
Immunohistochemistry showed a reverse correlation between MUC2 and Notch3 or Jagged1 (P = 0.033 and P = 0.005, respectively) and between MUC5AC and Jagged1 or Hes1
Our results unraveled an important regulatory role for MUC2 mucin (show SLC13A2 ELISA Kits) in human beta-defensin2 mRNA and peptide production in a proinflammatory milieu
There was no significant difference in MUC2 expression between chronic rhinosinusitis patients with and without bacterial biofilm formation.
In ovarian mucinous tumors, MUC2 expression changes with the progression of benign to borderline and malignant tumours
The genetic length variants in the central repetitive region of MUC2 were not associated with meconium ileus in cystic fibrosis (show S100A8 ELISA Kits).
The expression of a subset of mucins (MUC2, MUC6, MUC5B) was also correlated with sialyl-Tn expression in LS174T cells.
There was no difference in the expression of deep MUC1 (show MUC1 ELISA Kits), MUC2, MUC5AC, or MUC6 (show MUC6 ELISA Kits) between the groups of gastric cancer and controls.
The results indicated that the DNA methylation (show HELLS ELISA Kits) status of MUC1 (show MUC1 ELISA Kits), MUC2 and MUC4 (show MUC4 ELISA Kits) in pancreatic juice matched with the mucin (show SLC13A2 ELISA Kits) expression in tissue.
identified a specific depletion of secreted MUC2 from goblet cells in Lawsonia intracellularis-infected pigs that correlated with the increased level of intracellular bacteria in crypt cells
The structures of purified soluble porcine gastric (Muc5ac) and duodenal (Muc2) mucin (show SLC13A2 ELISA Kits) solutions at neutral and acidic pH were examined using small-angle X-ray scattering and small-angle neutron scattering experiments
This gene encodes a member of the mucin protein family. Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins produced by many epithelial tissues. The protein encoded by this gene is secreted and forms an insoluble mucous barrier that protects the gut lumen. The protein polymerizes into a gel of which 80% is composed of oligosaccharide side chains by weight. The protein features a central domain containing tandem repeats rich in threonine and proline that varies between 50 and 115 copies in different individuals. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known.

Foodstuffs: Frozen Calamari – SeaQuest Brand
Squid are not easy to come by here on Baffin Island. About 5 months ago, one of our local stores had some boxes of whole squid and I bought some. In order to eke out the supply in fear of not seeing squid again for a long time I used them very sparingly and still have some left (although it really is high time I finished them off before they are no longer good). Anyway, just a few weeks ago, our other grocery store suddenly came up with a supply of SeaQuest Brand frozen Calamari rings at a pretty decent price. I bought eight bags…
SeaQuest also does a pretty nice seafood medley package that includes pieces of shrimp, squid, mussels and, I think, scallops. I have not seen any whole squid products from this company… so far, these frozen rings are all I have purchased. The rings in the bag are, for the most part, quite small. They are of fairly decent thickness, though, which suggests to me that the company does not merely use very small squid, but that, for this product, they confine themselves to using the portion of the body nearest the tail. Possibly the rest of the squid is packaged separately in a different product.
Personally, I much prefer to buy squid fresh and whole. There is a convenience to buying squid prepared like those in this package, but I find that once squid had had the speckled membrane removed and gets chopped up it begins to lose flavor. This is, sadly, a process that is not much helped by freezing. I tasted the raw squid from this bag, both still frozen, and once thawed, and I have to say that my general view remains unchanged by the result.
The best raw squid I ever ate was a squid sashimi served at a tiny Japanese restaurant in Banff, Alberta about four years ago. I have tried to find the same restaurant on the Internet but I don't remember the name and did not recognize it any current Banff listings. Anyway, the sashimi on that occasion was so sweet and delicate that it was comparable to the best of the freshest raw oysters. My taste experience with this package was, perhaps not unexpectedly, pale by comparison. While still frozen, the rings had very little taste at all. It was still possible to discern that one was eating something vaguely marine in nature, but that was about the extent of the experience. Once thawed, the rings were much tastier but still a bit watery. It was clear to me that I was eating squid this time but there was no sweetness or any hints of the sea that one gets from oysters in particular. I have no doubt that this product is quite suitable for cooked dishes but it really is not sashimi quality squid.
I actually used some of this first package in my Paella with Seafood and Chicken experiment a few posts back. In future posts over the next few weeks I plan to cover a number of recipes, beginning, perhaps with one of my favorite dim sum preparations…

Missing Columbia teen has family, friends worried for his safety
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A Columbia teen is missing and his family is concerned he could be in trouble.
No one has seen or heard from Brady Scott Brown in almost a week and those searching for him want answers.
Brown had just started a new job at Buckingham Smokehouse Bar-B-Que before he disappeared. Now, he's missed four shifts.
Those who talked with ABC 17 News say his disappearance is suspicious.
Family and friends are searching near and far to find him.
Taylor Huffman, Brown's coworker and the last person to see him, dropped the teen off at his friend's house on Aldeah Drive Tuesday night. She said nothing seemed suspicious at the time, and she thinks he might have just gone on a trip.
Another coworker said she suspects foul play could be involved because he didn't know the people he was hanging out with very well.
But his mother said all Brown had with him were the clothes on his back and $30 that Huffman had just loaned him. He did not have any debit cards or his contact lenses.
The day after he disappeared, Brown allegedly texted his mother saying, "I'm OK, don't call the police" and posted on Facebook. But neither his mother, nor Columbia police believe he actually sent the text.
The family will be hosting a search party on Tuesday.

Meow Meow! My name is Turnip, and I am a new member on Catster.com. I hope to meet a lot of new friends while I am here--Mommy made this account because she was missing me while on vacation. She has gone back home to visit her parents, so Pepper and I are staying with Daddy. We miss Mommy a lot, but she will be home in August!
I am a two year-old, orange-and-white Tabby cat. I live in California, with my Mommy, Daddy, and sister Pepper. I still remember the day Pepper and I adopted Mommy and Daddy. Back then, Pepper and I were only two months old and living with a host family. Our host family thought that it would be a good idea to give us to a family that needed a little excitement in their lives. So, Pepper and I said good-bye to our Mama, and we went off on our journey to find our new parents.
That day, Mommy had let her baby bird fly free. She was taking care of it after it had fallen out of a tree. She fed it and gave it a warm place to sleep, but apparently it wanted to go outside and live with other birds. Mommy was sad, but she knew letting her bird go was for the best. When she came to buy supplies with Daddy, our host family called out to them and they came right over! Mommy was oohing and ahhing over me, and when she held me she felt so warm and comfy that I fell asleep! And that was enough for Mommy to want to take me home--and well, where I went, Pepper would have to come along too. And Mommy and Daddy were perfectly happy with that!
I have been living with Mommy and Daddy at their apartment ever since. I used to be very naughty--I scratched up the carpet and chewed up Mommy and Daddy's computer cords. They spent a lot of money trying to replace their wires--but I don't chew them anymore. There is a weird, sour taste on the wires nowadays and I hate getting it on my tongue! I wonder what it is?
Nowadays I just spend my days sleeping wherever Mommy is, and eating. I love to eat! I eat when I am hungry, and I eat when Pepper is eating...and I eat when Mommy and Daddy are eating too! I can eat all day!
That's a little about me. I can't wait to meet you all!

BP crews were drilling Monday to finish a relief well that aims to permanently plug the oil gusher that has gripped the Gulf of Mexico for months.
BP was less than 100 feet away from the intersection of the annulus and drilling was to continue through the week, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen told reporters during a morning briefing. Then the energy giant will start the "bottom kill" process, which involves pumping drilling mud and cement into the well to completely seal it.
"They're in the process of going in about 30-foot increments of drilling, backing out, putting a wire down to measure the magnetic field around the casing, and moving forward," Allen said.
The oil is currently being kept in the underground reservoir after the pouring of mud and cement down the well during BP's "top kill" procedure proved successful last week. Crude has not gushed into the Gulf of Mexico since July 15, when a temporary cap was placed on the well.
Allen said they were watching the weather as a cluster of storms over Florida is expected to move across the state and along the Gulf this week.
"Obviously, there's an interaction there with the timeline for the relief well," Allen said. "The (meteorologists at NOAA) thought there was a 10 percent chance that this could develop into a system that would be of consequence to us."
Allen said at this point there are no plans to suspend drilling the relief well or cleanup operations, but they are watching closely.
An estimated 207 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers.

Mumbai: Kareena Kapoor's pregnancy rumors had triggered up some time back when she was spotted with a little grown up baby bump at the Mumbai airport. She had then turned down all the rumors. Well, they are rumors in actual. There was nothing like pregnancy. Now again Kareena Kapoor's pregnancy rumors made the rounds of the web and the media when film director of Heroine Madhur Bhandarkar posted the pictures of Kareena in which she was spotted with a tiny baby bump.
The pictures went viral on the web and when the viral spread hugely, Madhur then made the clarifications saying that it was a fake baby bump which was done for a scene for Heroine in which Kareena will be shown as pregnant. Well, what Madhur wanted by showing off the photos to the masses over on twitter was pretty clear – film's publicity. He succeeded in getting the same. Well, the micro blogging site and the social media work big time for instant and mammoth publicity for anything. And the Bollywood fraternity takes full advantage of the same.
Madhur is quite busy with his much ambitious venture titled 'Heroine'. Initially he had to shelve the movie after Aishwarya Rai got pregnant. It was shocking for Madhur since he was not informed that Aishwarya was pregnant when she signed the movie. He came to know when A,itabh tweeted to fans about Ash's pregnancy. But thanks to Kareena who said 'yes' to Bhandarkar and he then took the sigh of relief. Kareena too has been a bit of problematic for Madhur as she initially refused doing intimate scenes with Arjun Rampal, which were the requirement for the movie but later agreed when a five star hotel was booked and only few crew members were taken for the shot.
Kareena Kapoor got much impressed by Vidya Balan's performance in Ekta Kapoor's The Dirty Picture that she too now makes plans to doll up the risqué sequences in Heroine in which she plays a role of a much glamorous heroine.

Q: I'm in the midst of creating a photo slide show and would like to include video, but am not sure if/how I can properly transfer video to the PC from my video camera, which records on tape, for which I think I need to use a FireWire connection. The desktop all-in-one PC has no FireWire input, only USB ports. Is this still workable? A: USB and FireWire (also called 1394 or I.Link) are incompatible data-transfer standards. Over the years, there have been some adapters and converters advertised, but I'm not aware of a widely used one and have never tested any. I'd check the camera carefully to see if it has any other transfer mechanism built in, like a memory card or USB or Wi-Fi. If not, you can search the Web for adapters. But the best solution might be to see if you can borrow somebody's older Mac, most of which came with FireWire for years. You could then transfer the video to the Mac, copy it to a Windows-formatted USB flash drive or external hard disk (which the Mac can use) or to a cloud-storage account like Dropbox. Then, from one of these, transfer it to your PC. Q: What is your recommendation for a good and inexpensive laptop for use by a 9- and 12-year-old. The computer will mainly be used for writing school reports and Internet access. A: I'm unsure what your definition of "inexpensive" is, but you should be able to find a name-brand Windows laptop in the $400-to-$500 range that would handle those needs. It should do the trick for three to five yearsRead More
[ See post to watch video ] Watching TV shows, movies and other video via the Internet on your big-screen television has become all the rage. But the proliferation of devices and methods for doing so has made the whole thing mighty confusing. Should you buy a "smart TV" to watch, say, Netflix? Or should you make an older TV "smart" by attaching a box that includes Netflix? Or should you buy an adapter and just beam Netflix wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet? And then, should you stream a movie or download it? Do you have to pay to get TV shows and movies from the Internet, or can you get them for free? There's no one right answer for everyone, or every situation. To help sort out the choices, here's a primer for watching Internet video on a TV, legally. This isn't a review of any one product and it's aimed at average, non-techie consumers. Techies reading this won't find some of the more obscure products and methods. I've also chosen to omit the oldest, but most complex, method — hooking up a PC to a TV using cables. That's so 2008. Streaming vs. Beaming vs. Downloading First, let's sort out some confusing terms. Downloading, the method used by Apple's iTunes, usually means you are buying or renting a show or movie individually and typically storing it on your device. Streaming, used by services like YouTube or Netflix, generally means you aren't buying a program or film, but are watching it as it flows from the company's servers. Beaming simply means you're streaming the video from a smartphone, tablet or PC to the TV, usually via an adapter device plugged into the TV. But when watching Internet video on a TV, it isn't that simpleRead More
Smartphone cameras have improved a great deal since the birth of the smartphone, but photos captured in certain settings — people in dark bars or wedding reception halls, your kid across the soccer field, that deer out in the backyard — are still pretty mediocre. Nokia, the Finnish handset maker that in recent years has struggled to compete in the smartphone market, wants to change that. Yup, I'm talking about the Nokia Lumia 1020, the company's new, "notice-me" smartphone with a 41-megapixel camera. The camera is comparable to what you'd get with a simple point-and-shoot. [ See post to watch video ] Some of the technology in the Lumia 1020 actually borrowed from an earlier smartphone, the Nokia PureView 808. With the Lumia 1020, which runs the Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system, Nokia threw in two high-end features that are meant to make images look much better: A special backside-illuminated sensor, which helps in low-light situations, and optical image stabilization, which helps prevent blurry photos. There are also manual controls in the camera, for people who fancy themselves shutterbugs. I've been testing the Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone for the past week, and I was impressed by its camera. It took crisp, clear photos in low-light environments ("Oooh, can you send me that picture?" friends would say in social settings). Colors looked rich and saturated, although, sometimes a bit yellowishRead More
In just two years, one company has become the playbook distributor of choice for half the National Football League. Some 16 teams — including the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears – use its iPad app to share and annotate digital playbooks and game film. NFL teams pay $20,000 to $50,000 per year for the service. PlayerLync , the unlikely little startup with the flashy customers, hails from Englewood, Colo. and was founded by former telecom execs. It's just raised "a large Series A round" from the Denver-based Anschutz Investment Co lead by Phil Anschutz, the billionaire who cofounded Major League Soccer and owns stakes in teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Kings. PlayerLync co-founder and CEO Bob Paulsen posited in an interview today that his company's advantage has been focusing on the backend of its collaboration platform, where other competitors — an example is Hudl — have poured their effort into design. (Don't look now, but I think he just bragged about this product being ugly.) PlayerLync's tools include automatic content synchronization — so teams can load up everyone's apps with new tape before they get on the plane after the game — as well as annotation via screen recording, voice and text. There are also extensive security measures. In most cases, the teams are replacing burned DVDs and printed scouting reports. In addition to breaking into other sports, PlayerLync is now starting to sell into retail, media and transportation fields. It's also expanded from iPad to Windows 8 tablets, and plans to add Android soon.Read More
Last month security software company Symantec confirmed a significant round of layoffs , amounting to about eight percent of its total headcount. Today it starting adding back to that headcount with the naming of five new senior executives including a chief marketing officer, a chief communications officer, a chief security officer and two senior VPs. Announced in a corporate blog post earlier today, the five new execs are being brought on to execute a company-wide shift in direction instituted by Steve Bennett, Symantec's new CEO, who joined the company a year ago. The new hires are: CMO Manny Kostas , a former SVP of marketing and strategy at Hewlett-Packard who left after a shakeup last year . He's been working for Polycom since October; CCO Colleen Lacter , a veteran of PR agency Waggener Edstrom better known as Microsoft's PR agency. She was involved in many significant product launches including Windows 95, Internet Explorer, MSN and Bing; CSO Julie Talbot-Hubbard , previously chief information security officer at Ohio State University.Read More
Q: Has anyone found a way to transfer saved emails, saved calendar entries and saved memos from older BlackBerrys, like the Bold, to the new Q10? I am told by Verizon sales staff that only contacts can be transferred. A: The new Q10 and Z10 are based on an entirely different operating system and are a break with the past, so transfers are limited. According to a BlackBerry spokesman, a program called BlackBerry Link will transfer over memos and calendar entries saved to your old device, or your computer, but not locally saved emails. However, he said, emails stored in a cloud account can reappear when you link the new phone to that same cloud account. Q: You recently reviewed new Intel chips that greatly increased battery life in two laptops. Are these same chips likely to be showing up in tablets and smartphones? A: Most tablets and smartphones don't use laptop-grade Intel chips, but instead rely on chip designs from a competitor, ARM, which specializes in mobile devices. Various manufacturers produce ARM-based processors. The only tablets I know of that use Intel-laptop chips are Windows 8 tablets that are essentially hybrid laptops, like Microsoft's Surface Pro.

Gestures can be quite useful in many aspects of daily life, but how useful are they in front of a PC? This week, I tested a new way to get your hands moving at a Windows PC or Mac by using the Leap Motion Controller.

It works by detecting your fingers as they move above it, tracking up to 1/100th of a millimeter of movement.Read More
As expected , Nokia on Tuesday announced details on the Lumia 625 –a Windows Phone that packs a 4.7-inch screen along with otherwise modest specs. The phone is expected to ship to various non-U.S. countries in the third quarter and sell for 220 euros ($289).Read More
As part of its disappointing earnings report on Thursday, Microsoft noted that it is making more money from mobile phones. However, that doesn't necessarily mean Windows Phone is raking in the bucks. The company chose to lump together its phone software revenue with the patent royalties it gets from makers of Android devices. "Windows Phone revenue, reflecting patent licensing revenue and sales of Windows Phone licenses, increased $222 million for the quarter," Microsoft said in commentary accompanying its earnings statement . Indeed, it seems likely that Microsoft's gains are coming largely on the back of Android, as the company has now signed per-unit royalty licenses with much of the industry, save for Motorola and Google itself. Nokia, meanwhile, said it had its best-ever quarter for Windows Phones. But with total Lumia sales of 7.4 million units (along with a smaller number of phones sold by HTC, Samsung and others), the bulk of Microsoft's phone revenue appears to still be coming from Android. Microsoft declined to comment further on, or provide any additional breakdown on the figures to AllThingsD .Read More
While the same iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S and HTC One models are typically made available across a wide range of carriers, Nokia has been taking a different approach in the U.S. market. Since reentering the U.S. market with its first Windows Phone models a couple of years ago, the company has chosen to give exclusivity for each model to one of the major carriers. With Nokia's new 41-megapixel Lumia 1020 cameraphone, for example, AT&T will have the exclusive. Verizon, meanwhile has the Lumia 928, while T-Mobile is stocking the new Lumia 925, along with the low-end Lumia 521. Though not without its downsides, smartphone business head Jo Harlow said doing so gives carriers more reason to promote the Windows Phones than it might if the same phone were available at a rival. "Giving something exclusive or unique has been more of an incentive to support the devices in market," Harlow told AllThingsD in an interview after Thursday's launch of the Lumia 1020. Getting support from carriers — from subsidies, to advertising, to interest from in-store sales representatives — is critical in the U.SRead More

I've bought a lot of chips, cookies etc there. Spices a few times such as chili powder, garlic powder. No issues. Tastes the same as the ones in the regular grocery 3 times the price. Check expiration dates as suggested and don't think you will have any problems.Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck.

I love the Dollar Tree, though I usually have to bring DH with me because it's too easy to overspend because of the great bargins!
I've never had a trouble with a thing purchased there; my DH's (he's diabetic) sugar free candies for work are so much cheaper and taste the same as those from the regular market. The spices are comparable to those in the regular shops as well, so have no fear of trying them.03-20-2011, 07:34 AM #11

Pretty much going along with everyone else here. There are a few spices they carry that I can't get anywhere else. ("Memphis BBQ Rub" for example, not very tasty on ribs but is a great when you shake some in soup... and OldMan is from Memphis and says if anyone used that on their ribs they would be run out of town )
They don't carry many 'powders' like onion and garlic, but the onion flakes are good (they do carry salts but I don't use them so can't comment on how they compare).03-20-2011, 10:15 AM #12

With spices you get what you pay for. $1 spices usually aren't very fresh, and will lack flavor compared to truly fresh stuff. With things like garlic salt or grill seasoning that isn't usually a problem but if you want basil or marjoram or other green leafy herbs you are getting 2nd rate product. I have also noticed there are a lot more stem pieces and bits of browned or dead leaf in the discount bottles.Come on people now

Be careful of some of the dollar store spices. A lot of the mixes have MSG (I'm allergic to it, but beyond that artificial anything probably isn't that good for you). I know their steak seasoning and lemon pepper both list MSG (at least the one by my house does). However, I use the garlic and onion powder and it seems okay. Aldi also has spices for $1 each so I get cumin there. Chili powder is really different by each manufacturer so I tend to stick with a favorite name brand on that spice. I buy high-quality cinnamon at World Market or the health food store.03-20-2011, 12:02 PM #14

Hales Hundred Spurs Second Eleven
A sustained piece of fast bowling from the four fast men, excellent slip catching and a superb hundred from Alex Hales ensured that Notts had a strangle hold over Derbyshire at the end of day one of the Second Eleven Championship game at the County Ground, Derby.
The home side won the toss and batted first but collapsed from 98-3 to 155 all out with Paul Franks taking 4-22, Darren Pattinson 2-30, Andrew Carter 1-28 and Luke Fletcher 1-37.
Alex Hales took three catches at first slip, one an excellent reaction catch retrieving a dropped catch from his slip partner Kevin O'Brien who held on to two catches himself.
Jason Brown took 2-14, the last wicket being a stumping from young wicket keeper Alex Spence making his second team debut.
Only Chesney Hughes (50) and Tom Poynton (28) showed any real defiance to the moving ball and real pace of the bowlers.
The evening session belonged to the Notts batsmen and Alex Hales in particular. They tore into the Derbyshire bowling with Akhil Patel scoring 33 of the opening stand of 95 before being caught by keeper Poynton trying to pull Clare.
At this point Hales was on 60 having reached his 50 from 48 balls. His 100 came from 83 balls as he flayed the bowling to all parts of the ground. At the close, three overs early due to the notorious sinking sun, Hales had scored 144 with 21 fours and three sixes from 119 balls.
Bilal Shafayat was undefeated on 49 at the close having played his part with eight boundaries in a 136 partnership to leave Notts in a commanding position going into the second day.

Ohio child cancers confound parents and investigators
Every time his kids cough, Dave Hisey's mind starts to race. Is it cancer? Is it coming back? His oldest daughter, diagnosed with leukemia nearly five years ago when she was 13, is in remission. His 12-year-old son has another year of chemotherapy for a different type of leukaemia. And his 9-year-old daughter is scared she'll be next.
Mr Hisey is not alone in fearing the worst. Just about every mom and dad in this rural northern Ohio town gets nervous whenever their children get a sinus infection or a stomach ache lingers. It's hard not to panic since mysterious cancers have sickened dozens of area children in recent years.
Since 1996, 35 children have been diagnosed, and three have died of brain tumours, leukaemia, lymphoma, and other forms of cancer, all within a 12-mile wide circle that includes two small towns and farmland just south of Lake Erie. With many of the diagnoses coming between 2002 and 2006, state health authorities declared it a cancer cluster, saying the number and type of diagnoses exceed what would be expected statistically for so small a population over that time.
"All you think about is what happened to these kids," said Donna Hisey, 43, the mother whose family has been devastated by cancer. "Is it gone? Or is it still here? What is it?!"
After three years of exhaustive investigation, no cause is known. Investigators have tested wells and public drinking water, sampled groundwater and air near factories and checked homes, schools and industries for radiation.
They also set up a network of air monitors across eastern Sandusky County, finding cleaner air than in most places around Ohio, the health department said.
Nothing unusual was detected. Not even a hint.
"From the very beginning, we've said the vast majority of childhood cancer causes aren't known," said Robert Indian, the state health department's chief of comprehensive cancer control. He'll soon release yet another investigative report.
Without any answers as to what's attacking their children, parents are left to question whether living within a known cancer cluster area is endangering their kids. Perhaps surprisingly, only a handful have moved away.
"It's in the back of everybody's mind," said Scott Mahler, who has two healthy young sons. "Are you going to risk your children's lives by living here?"
Eight children were diagnosed with cancer in and near Clyde between 2002-2006, nearly four times the number that state health experts figure is normal.
Ohio health investigators converged on the town of just 6,000 people halfway between Cleveland and Toledo and home to the Whirlpool Corp.'s largest washing machine factory.
What they found was worse than anyone suspected. The cancers affecting victims age 19 and younger included neighboring townships and much of the nearby town of Fremont.
One in five of the cancer cases were related to the brain or central nervous system, matching national rates, according to the American Cancer Society.
The diagnoses peaked in 2006, when nine children were told they, too, had cancer. Since then, there have been four new cases. The most recent came in the spring this year, when a 7-year-old girl was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer of the body's connective tissues.
At first, investigators focused just on Clyde, where social calendars revolve around school, sports and church. Most families have been here for generations. It's the kind of place where teens can't wait to leave – only to find they can't wait to come back to start a family.
Seeing their children afflicted by unexplained illnesses has strengthened the bond among parents and neighbors instead of scaring them away.
"Even if it would've happened to my family, I can't imagine where else I would go to get the support I needed," said Melanie Overmyer, an English and journalism teacher at Clyde High School.
"People in neighboring towns say 'I can't believe you still live there,'" said the mother of two. "You can't pick up your life and move every time there's something that scares you."
Enrollment numbers at area schools haven't dropped and real estate agents say they haven't encountered anyone who doesn't want to look for homes in the area or is desperate to get out.
"Clyde is small enough that we would really know if that was happening," said City Manager Paul Fiser.
Ohio health and environmental regulators have speculated the cause was environmental and may have come and gone – maybe a chemical from a factory or a dump that polluted the air or water.
Air and water samples have not revealed any concerns around the Whirlpool plant or the Vickery Environmental waste site just outside town, where hazardous chemicals are injected into rock a half-mile below ground.
And in September, investigators said they found no radiation from homes, schools, or industries to link to the illnesses, ruling out the Davis-Besse nuclear plant, about 20 miles from Clyde, and Nasa's former nuclear reactor near Sandusky as a possible source.
Doctors also have been vigilant, making sure they're not missing any signs or symptoms in young patients. And parents are more likely to bring their kids in for checkups instead of waiting for an illness to go away.
"You still have to treat common things first," said Dr. Daniel Herring, who has a family practice in Clyde.
"But it's definitely one of the things we worry about more."
What's stumped investigators is the lack of any common threads among the children – all of them don't live in the same neighbourhood, go to the same school or drink from the same water. They don't all have the same type of cancer or even parents who work at the same factory.
State health officials have spent recent months asking the sick children and their families dozens of questions about their homes and health histories, hoping to find a link. A report due soon will reveal whether they found any connections among all or some of the children, Indian said.
Some parents think it's likely that investigators will never identify a cause.
In a way, it's not a surprise.
Pinpointing the cause of a cancer cluster rarely – if ever – happens.
During the 1960s and '70s, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated 108 cancer clusters around the United States, most of them childhood leukemia. But they found no definite causes for any of them.
The CDC has since allowed states to take the lead investigating almost all suspected clusters while still offering some oversight, as the federal agency is doing in Ohio.
The outbreak around Clyde is only 50 miles north of another cluster that Ohio health officials spent four years investigating. Beginning in the late 1990s, nine former students from River Valley High School in Marion were diagnosed with leukemia.
Tests found toxic chemicals in schoolyard soil and students were relocated to new buildings miles away. Investigators never definitively linked the cancers to the old school site, a former World War II Army depot where wastes and solvents were dumped and burned.
The nation's most intensive investigation ever of a cancer cluster began nine years ago in western Nevada and remains inconclusive. Hundreds of state and federal experts have spent millions investigating the leukaemia that sickened 17 children and killed three between 1997 and 2004.
Some parents of Clyde area's sick children question whether the state's inquiry has been thorough enough. They point out that there's been no soil testing or requests for experts from CDC to join the investigation.
"Why haven't they brought all minds to the table?" said Warren Brown, whose 11-year-old daughter, Alexa, died of brain cancer in August 2009. "Why not throw everything at it?"
Investigators insist they've ignored nothing. Soil testing wouldn't reveal any answers, they said, because the sick children come from a widespread area and all would have needed to come in contact with contaminated dirt.
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Christopher Korleski said the state has consulted with federal health officials throughout the investigation and that they've signed off on the steps Ohio has taken.
The investigation is his top priority.
"It is disappointing and frustrating to not know," said Mr Korleski.
Brown wishes there were somebody to blame.
He's been careful not to point fingers and doesn't want the town to suffer. But he also said he wouldn't hold back if something here was the cause.
"I'd be yelling at the top of my lungs to leave town," he said. "I can't do that."
Brandy Kreider, a mother of five children, said she and her husband spent an agonising week and sleepless nights wondering if they were making a mistake before buying a new home in town two years ago. In the end, leaving didn't feel right.
"Those things don't want to make us retreat," she said. "They bring us together."
The Hiseys faced the same question almost five years ago when daughter Tyler Smith, who's now 17, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Exploring the influence of vocal emotion expression on communicative effectiveness
Item TypeJournal Article
MetadataShow full item record
This study explores whether speaker emotion influences communicative effectiveness. Two hundred participants rated their current emotional state and gave a description of a route on a simple map. The quality of the linguistic content of the descriptions was assessed using Latent Semantic Analysis. Six hundred participants provided route drawings based on the map descriptions. Median route deviation served as a measure of communicative effectiveness. Eighty additional participants rated invariant parts of the descriptions for perceived speaker happiness. Path analysis revealed that while speaker emotion did not affect the linguistic content of the descriptions, it had an effect on communicative effectiveness both through the effects of vocal cues directly as well as mediated by perceived happiness of speech. Specifically, higher first formants were associated with higher reported and perceived happiness as well as higher communicative effectiveness. Jitter, on the other hand, was negatively related to the perception of happiness and positively related to communicative effectiveness. These findings suggest that mood-related modulation of phonation and articulation can influence the effectiveness of communication in addition to message content.

If you ask what's the problem with David Cameron's European strategy, a cacophony of voices strike up. But it seems to me that most of their complaints are tactical when the fundamental problem is strategic: what does Cameron actually want back from Brussels?
Some of those involved in preparation for the renegotiation tell me that this is the wrong question to ask, that what Cameron is seeking is a systemic change in the way the European Union works. But I'm still unclear on what their strategy for achieving this is.
One insider tells me that inside Number 10 they're 'terrified of detail'. One can see why. Nearly all Tory MPs can get behind renegotiation but they have very different views on how extensive it should be. But if Cameron is to have a chance of succeeding in this renegotiation he has to know precisely what he wants and what is too high a price to pay for EU membership.

Elementary economics considers the relationship between supply and demand.
But it can't be what Barack Obama considers when pandering to the masses with his recommendation that Congress mandate a higher minimum wage.
For example, the above-left figure shows a hypothetical free market at equilibrium: a quantity of 7 employees are demanded and supplied to employers for a price of $30 each.
Tending Toward Equilibrium
If the quantity of employees available in supply were reduced to 6 (with the level of demand remaining the same), then the supply curve would shift leftward, raising the price for each employee to $40 at the new equilibrium.
Likewise, if the quantity of labor supply were increased to 8 employees, the supply curve would shift rightward, resulting in a price of $20 that employers would pay for each employee at the new equilibrium.
But what would happen to the employees in our hypothetical labor supply if government were to intervene and mandate a price floor for them through a $50 minimum wage?
Loss of Balance
Theoretically, equilibrium would only exist naturally at the mandated price under two conditions in our hypothetical labor market:
- Employer demand a supply of 9 employees when only 7 are still available, thus shifting the demand curve rightward to meet the new equilibrium.
- Labor supply available decreases from 7 to 5 employees with employer demand remaining constant, thus shifting the supply curve leftward to the new equilibrium.
Otherwise, the government mandate for a price floor of $50 creates disequilibrium in society through new unemployment for 4 employees.
It's the difference between the quantity of 9 employees now available from the labor supply and employers only hiring the quantity of 5 employees that they're able to demand at the higher, government-mandated price (see above-right figure).
Mind Over Matter
"Help entrepreneurs and small-business owners expand and create new jobs," Obama said in the 2013 State of the Union, when he recommended that Congress mandate a higher price floor in wages. "But none of it will matter unless we also equip our citizens with the skills and training to fill those jobs."
None of it will matter, indeed, if Obama succeeds in mandating that entrepreneurs and small-business owners spend more to fill jobs with incentives for higher unemployment.

Brother's range of personal inkjet all-in-ones all look suspiciously similar, but the company manages to differentiate them by careful choice of features and prices. The MFC-J430W sits just above entry-level and is a little more austere than some of its pricier siblings. It still has all the essentials, though, including print, copy, scan and fax.
The top of this all-in-one is only very slightly curved and effectively hides its built-in Automatic document Feeder (ADF). The high-gloss centre panel of the device flips over to reveal a slimline, 20-sheet mechanism, which feeds from the machine's top surface upwards, so paper ends up on top of the feed stack. This makes it easier to remove scanned pages and it's no harder to load them.
The control panel uses only a standard width, 51mm LCD screen, rather than the double-width displays more common in Brother all-in-ones. This doesn't affect the operation of the machine much, as it doesn't include card readers or a PictBridge socket, so needs no facilities for displaying photo thumbnails.
The controls consist of a small power button and a pad of three mode buttons to the left of the display, with a navigation diamond, a numeric pad for fax dialling and Start and Stop buttons for copies and scans to the right.
The front panel of the machine has no sockets set into it, but the paper cassette pulls out from the front, to take up to 100 sheets of plain paper, or equivalent numbers of photo blanks. There's no separate tray for photos.
The USB socket is inside the machine and you have to hinge the scanner section upward and reeve the cable through to reach it. These days, though, most people will choose to connect the printer wirelessly and setup is very straightforward, particularly if your router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
The four ink cartridges slide in as normal behind a hatch to the right of the paper tray and once you've installed the software, which includes copies of PaperPort and Brother's own MFL-Pro Suite, you're ready to go.

Oblamer sends millions of U.S.$ to Mali, now al Qaeda is entrenching themselves with it, Good Leadership oblamer, 2013 looks great!
News Article
Deep inside caves, in remote desert bases, in the escarpments and cliff faces of northern Mali, Islamic fighters are burrowing into the earth, erecting a formidable set of defenses to protect what has essentially become Al Qaeda's new country.
They have used the bulldozers, earth movers and Caterpillar machines left behind by fleeing construction crews to dig what residents and local officials describe as an elaborate network of tunnels, trenches, shafts and ramparts. In just one case, inside a cave large enough to drive trucks into, they have stored up to 100 drums of gasoline, guaranteeing their fuel supply in the face of a foreign intervention, according to experts.
Northern Mali is now the biggest territory held by Al Qaeda and its allies. And as the world hesitates, delaying a military intervention, the extremists who seized control of the area earlier this year are preparing for a war they boast will be worse than the decade-old struggle in Afghanistan.

The Obama administration has cautioned against rushing into military action to reunite the west African country, whose Texas-size northern half has become the world's largest safe haven for militant Islamists following a military coup in March. Mali's neighbors and western countries are worried that militants from all over the region are setting up training camps there, including al Qaeda-affiliated groups linked to the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

I agree with your post with the exception of the free breakfast and lunch for childern who live in welfare homes! I am a Republican, and despise most all Democrat giveaway programs, except that one! Many kids wouldnt get a meal at all, were it not for that program! I also know that is the fault of their druged out worthless parents or mother in most cases, but that does not put the blame on a hungry child! They didnt choose to be born!

I know you will need help in deciphering this, so how about calling the pre-schoolers for help.

I agree with you, a child can't help it if they are not fed. Yet our gov. continues feeding the adults knowing they are taking the freebies for themselves and allowing the children to go hungry.
This doesn't work, they need another plan.
As for the free breakfast and lunches. There was a story about a couple years ago, how cities along the border were providing free lunches and breakfast to children at school which were the majority illegals, who left tons of food not eaten and millions in lost tax payers money. A few will be fed with all of these programs to insure the children do not go hungry but the money also feeds people who are adults and feeds their drug addiction and feeds people here illegally. Where does it stop. Soon I want be able to eat because most of my money is going to pay taxes for others to eat free, take drugs free, come here illegally for freebies.....who will feed me when too much taxation and not enough of your earned income is paid to you????

Why don't you tell us? Obama and the dems are getting all kinds of free money and wanting to give it to some but not others. You answers are in the form of questions. Sort of like the old "I know I am but what are you" type replies that add noting to the conversation. I get the impression from your lackluster posts that you are here for attention. Any ole attention. Good or bad. It doesn't matter to you as long as someone notices you. Maybe others will take you seriously if you stop answering with questions and actually researching what you are talking about. Most people can forgive your ignorance and ignore your ignorance but if you have any self respect at all please stop posting as if you are a 12 year old kid trying to burn somebody with a yo mama type putdown. Isn't there a free government sponsored New Year party that you are just dying to make your appearance at this evening? We will miss your goofy posts but we will survive just fine without you.

I know exactly how it works. If someone inherits money, they didn't work for it. They are just as much takers as those who get money via "entitlements". There is no difference except that the "privileged" takers tend to take a lot more from society for an equal lack of effort.
#70862 Dec 31, 2012
Does anyone else find it odd that the chosen one goes on television interviews and talks about how the republican Congress can't get anything done yet his democrat Senate hasn't been able to come up with a budget for our country in 4 years? One of the few responsibilities of our Senate is to produce a budget, a balanced budget, for our country each year. What's the messiah and his right-hand man waiting on? Going over the cliff so they can blame it all on republicans? Priceless shit! Didn't Obama make an half-ass attempt at a budget a few years ago and couldn't even get one of his yes men democrats to vote for it? Hmmm. Sounds like Obama is the mac daddy of not being able to get things done. But in all fairness Obama is an ace at blaming others for his failures. He should get the Nobel teeny bopper meltdown award...for sure! LMAO

Really? Well that just proves that you don't know jack. My family worked every day after school helping my father keep the farm going. When other young people were out cruising with friends my brothers and I were working on our family farm. When my father died he left the farm/land to those of us that worked hard to keep that farm going. We didn't inherit anything. We earned that farm and worked hard on that farm. POS lazy slugs like you believe that your pill popping welfare family should "inherit" pieces of our hard work and dedication. The only thing you deserve is exactly what you are going to get here in a few months thanks to your savior. Work or starve. hahaha Don't stress about it. You can become a super model.

A promotional stall handing out free electric toothbrushes to commuters at Waterloo station was forced to shut down amid safety fears today after hundreds of people overwhelmed staff and caused "mayhem" on the concourse.
Rail bosses ordered the closure of Colgate's "brushswap" event amid safety fears.
The Colgate offer, due to run from today until Friday, gave people the chance to swap any make of old, electric toothbrush for a new £169.99 ProClinical A1500 product.
But they apparently underestimated demand for the deal, with some commuters arriving at 5am to claim their toothbrush. By 7am frustrated consumers were being told that there were no more available as the 150 allocated products had been handed out.
By 9.30 Colgate had posted a tweet saying: "Due to crowd numbers we have been asked to close down the stand. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
"We are planning the best way to open this week." The promotion was also due to run at Victoria Station next week.
Bargain hunter Rob Myers said he queued from 6.50am until 8.20 before being sent away and told to return at 1030, when he found the stall had been closed.
He tweeted: "They made a huge mess of it. Lots of disappointed people - very poorly handled!"
Commuter Maria Jose, from Clapham, called the event a "fiasco" and said Colgate had failed to respond to her complaint to their customer service line,
She added: "It was just a shambles. It was such a good bargain - how could they have underestimated the demand so badly?"
Other passengers reported seeing "staff looking scared" as the concourse filled with people.
Reports that the police had been called were denied by the Met and British Transport Police.
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "Waterloo often holds promotional events but the demand for the Colgate stand exceeded everyone's expectations.
"To accommodate passengers and those wanting to take advantage of the offer, we are working with Colgate to try and rearrange the promotion to take place on another day outside of peak times."
A spokeswoman for Colgate said: "The unprecedented interest has caused significant congestion within the station and resulted in the closure of the stand for the day.
"We are currently working to resolve the issue and will provide further information as soon as possible."

Craig and Lindsay's Wedding
"What an amazingly unique venue! Having moved recently to Newburyport, we were looking to keep our wedding as local as possible. Harborside Catering has an outstanding reputation and we were not disappointed. The level of flexibility from the menu, libations, and the timing of both the ceremony and reception for New Years Eve was precisely what we were looking for to celebrate with our friends and family. Our New Years Eve wedding included approximately 65 guests. While not a large venue, it was perfectly intimate. Working with the staff was exceptional."

You can't wait any longer. Your infrastructure is still clinging to the 2003 x86 server architecture but with every day that goes by, you worry more and more that the other shoe will drop. You know you have to bite the bullet and get these critical services over to more modern hardware paired with the current supported revisions of the server platform. These are the services that keep the lights on, the servers running and most importantly: the users happy! This demo-intensive session covers how to migrate essential services like DHCP, DNS, File/Print, Certificate Services and more. But migration is only half the battle. In order to not leave you hanging - this session wraps up with how to manage and maintain these services using the new remote administration tools and Windows PowerShell v2.0. If you have customers stuck in the x86 to x64 migration frontier - show them the path to x64 2008 R2 nirvana.

They say that "close" only counts in horse shoes. This time it counted in arteries too. I guess his survival was a birthday present that he'll remember.
#3 Aug 7, 2006
Sing along with me now:
"Happy Birthday to you..."
That has to be the suckiest birthday he's ever had.
I knew there was a reason I hated horseshoes!!

I can't pull up the article. Please tell me he didn't sit on it. I wouldn't suggest yard darts at next year's celebration.

I happened to read it the other day and while they didn't provide exact details they did say that it missed the Iliac artery by millimeters which supplies blood to some areas in the lower digestive region. Kinda makes me queasy just to think about it.

Makes my butt hurt thinking about it. About two weeks ago this football kid on his way to practice jumped over an old iron fence, slipped and speared is forearm. Picture in the paper and all, gave me the willies too.

I was an army medic and saw some horrible stuff but I never did get over the queasies when I read stuff like this.
#8 Aug 7, 2006
Yeah, impaled flesh is something I don't think I could stomach. Medic? That's interesting. I want to ask why you're not in the medical field, but can guess you've seen enough gore to last a lifetime.
#9 Aug 7, 2006
I actually did work as a med tech for several years after the army and the main reason I changed professions was money. I got laid off and started driving a truck for extra income and it had a CB in it which I "tuned" up and that started an interest in electronics and bada bing ....next thing I knew I was a test tech here at Ford. Life has some odd turns.
#10 Aug 7, 2006
Bada bing? You lived in Joyzie? Yes life takes you on some trips. Do you miss the medical field?
#11 Aug 7, 2006
Actually yes I do but my wife is a Veterinary Technician so I keep an interest through her. I must admit that I'd be a bit nervous around "bodily fluids" today. Thing are certainly different now than they were in the 70's pre AIDS days.
#12 Aug 7, 2006
I'm not cut out for the medical field. I have a weak stomach. AIDS for-getta-bout-it!! That alone would make me want to quit. I'm a chicken.

My eldest daughter is doing her Ba Vet Science Degree at Uni,which is great as I have a whole menagerie of animals here hahahahahaha (I LOVE animals), but she reckons if she treats any of my animals she is still going to charge me for it :( aw what a bummer huh, my own daughter and all! maybe I should remind her of all the years I gave to her and all the shitty nappies I had to clean etc hee hee :)
#14 Aug 7, 2006
Matilda, I absolutely love reading your posts. "shitty nappies" that kills me.
#15 Aug 7, 2006
hahahaha another Aussie slang saying I guess!:)
How are you anyway JT I hope you are going ok!:) have a great day :)
#16 Aug 8, 2006
OK Matilda, you just keep the Aussie slang coming and I'll keep smiling. Everything here is great lately. It's almost scary how well everything's going. I signed off yesterday before you posted your reply. I've got another 6 or 7 hours to kill today so I'll be around off and on until the boss unlocks the door and lets me go home. I'll look forward to seeing you here. I read somewhere on these threads that Fosters is not too popular in OZ. Is that true? I like it anyhow but I'd be surprised if the rumors are true. I started my drinking while I was in Germany and developed a taste for a good strong beer. I even brew my own at home from time to time.
#17 Aug 8, 2006
Hi JT, my hubby brews his own ALL the time (I reckon it tastes revolting but no one dare tell him that ha ha ha!). Carlton beer is very popular over here now rather than Fosters, but there are so many different sorts now to choose from, VB (Victoria Bitter) was very popular too but most people think it tastes like gins piss ( I often wonder how they would know that though?), so they pass on that one! I am glad everything is going great for you. Cheers :):)
#18 Aug 8, 2006
Cheers and say G'day to the hubby for me.
#19 Aug 9, 2006
Will do mate! He may even send some of his brew to you huh! lol although I can't see it making the distance :)
