Try the New Albany shooting range on St Rt 62.
It is a bit expensive especially to rent however they have a great selection of rentals.
Gun Ranges -
Anyone have advice for gun ranges in Columbus. I work in worthington and live in GC, so it could pretty much be anywhere I go. I'd like one that has range guns to rent so I can test by using than just holding. (sounds like I'm wanting to date a future wife)
Try the New Albany shooting range on St Rt 62.
It is a bit expensive especially to rent however they have a great selection of rentals.
Headover to the Powder Room. Located in Powell off of 23 near polaris.
Great place and cheap. 50' handgun range, $10 per half hour range time.
Its been a staple in Powell forever.
Hope this helps !!
Hey thanks... everything helps when you're new to it. Where I grew up in SC we just went out in the backyard and shoot, this city living is messing me up.
+1 for The Powder Room in Powell. New Albany and Blackwing are OK, but the Powder Room is a more friendly environment. Not to mention cheaper. I think their website is ..EDIT: here it is: http://www.powderrm.com/
Big Darby shooting range in West Jefferson. Been around since 2006. They advertise a 300yd rifle range but I have not seen it/shot on it. NO guns for rental. $12 for non member range time. The "public" range has a range officer on it and their rules are good and safe. You have to buy a cardboard "target mount" at the range but can use it as much as you like for return visits. You will have to map quest the directions or just go to the website or google big darby shooting range. I would say its a nice place to shoot and certainlt beats going to Delaware or Deer Creek. Powder Room has been my standby for 10+ years and I think its cheaper than New Albany. New Albany is VERY nice but you pay a price for beauty. I would never buy a gun there but they have an extensive line of rentals (not cheap) that covers just about any major handgun caliber. There is a place out east called Dalton but I have not been there. Could be good, could be.....not worth it. Just my .02
There is a place on Bethel Rd called LEPD Firearms & Range. They have an indoor range, 12 booths. Nide place, large, clean and friendly but I have not shot there....yet.
999 Bethel rd. It is between the Micro Center shopping center and the train tracks to the west.

" Italian Restaurant / Address: 92 Albion Street / Glasgow / G1 1NY / Scotland / Tel: 0141 552 3186 "
One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow is the Italian Caffe in Albion Street in the Merchant City in the heart of Glasgow. It is the sister restaurant to the Italian Kitchen with is located on a block away on Ingram Street.
the Italian Caffe is a classy, modern and relaxed restaurant which is situated on a corner with floor to ceiling windows on 2 walls. The restaurant prides itself on fine, fresh foods and superb wines in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and it delivers on every aspect.
The wine list is extensive and is one of the main draws with over 50 wines available most of which are very reasonably priced. But for me the food is simply spectacular and very socialable. One of the restaurants specialties is it small plates and it provides diners the opportunity to choose a selection of small dishes to share and taste (kind of like italian tapas - but way better). The variety to choose from is extensive with dishes split into various categories:
Meat & Poultry
One of my favourites is the Homemade Meatballs in Tomato Sugo (I am not a meatball fan but these are divine and the flavours are amazing)
The list here is extensive including pork, beef, chicken, veal, duck and lamb. Plenty of yummy options.
this section contains dishes like grilled asparagus with hollandaise sauce, sweet pepper and onion ragy, roast potatoes with onion, thyme and balsamic vinegar, and of course the italian classic and one of my faves mozzarella with roasted vine tomatos and peppers.
These include mozzarella, tomato and basil, or rocket, cherry tomato, red onion and parmesan as well as many more.
Fish & Seafood
This takes up a whole page on the menu and is a seafood lovers delight. One of my favourites is langoustines baked in butter and garlic or the king prawns in a spicy sweet savoury sauce, but there are loads to choose from including salmon, oysters, swordfish, anchovies, tuna, mussels, sardines, sea bass and squid.
Pizzette (small Neapolitan Pizzas)
These are cute small pizzas probably the size of a side plate and a great addition to the feast and come in four varieties - a traditional margherita (wow, simple but lush), wild mushrooms, italian sausage and the final one plum tomato.
There are also daily specials that are always very tasty and worth trying.
In addition to the small plates if that is not your thing there are pasta dishes too which always look lovely but i have to admit i have still to try them as the other dishes are always so good that i prefer to have a mini feast.
The desserts are also something special the affogato (homemade ice cream with a shot of espresso is amazing) is a particular fave but again there are chef's specials which again are worth trying, I once had the most amazing brownie I have ever had with ice cream here.
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough the food is simple yet delicious and the wine is very very good.
The atmosphere in the Italian Caffe is very relaxed and buzzy (in a good way). The service is very good just the right amount of friendliness withour being too much, they can't do enough to help and are always there when you need them without being too intrusive.
With a bottle of wine, plenty of dishes, desserts and coffees the bill normally comes in around £25 - 30 a head, which for city centre eating of this quality is great value.
To book you can call 0141 552 3186 (it is better to book to make sure you have a table as it is very busy) Check out the menu and restaurant at www.theitaliancaffe.co.uk

Have a happy new year
Well another year has passed and as always it seems a little quicker than the year before.
For us fans of teams from Michigan it has been a pretty good year. Really, it has been a year to remember.
The Detroit Red Wings, Tigers and now the Lions all qualified for the playoffs this year. Michigan and Michigan State both made the NCAA basketball tourney and have double digit wins on the gridiron.
Success was abundant for most teams except the Detroit Pistons. Although, they did get a new owner so hopefully the tide will turn.
My last column of the year is typically reserved for new year wishes for myself, various sports teams and athletes.
Before that, to my family, friends and all of you I wish for a healthy and happy 2012. With that being said, a quick toast… Here's to the Mayans being wrong! Happy New Year.
I wish for a quick and mild winter, preferably, with as little snow as possible.
For our area athletes, I wish for success on and off the field. Remember, hard work does pay off.
For Lions tackle Ndamukong Suh, I wish for controlled aggression of the football field. That means no stomping, punching, tearing or anything else that gets the yellow flag in the air.
For new Pistons coach Lawrence Frank, I wish for a team of professionals that will listen, work hard and do what is asked of them. The last few years have been ridiculous.
For Red Wings defensemen Nick Lidstrom, I wish for one last skate around the rink with Lord Stanley's Cup high above your head.
I wish for a complete opposite spring than the one we had in 2011. That means less rain, which in turn means less high school cancellations.
For Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, I wish for the media to find someone else to focus their attention on and to allow you to just play football. It has been long enough.
For Miami Heat forward Lebron James, I wish for at least one team that is better than the one in South Beach. I was trying to be nice.
For Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, a Commissioners Trophy to sit between the four Stanley Cups you already own. Ilitch will turn 83 this year.
For former Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya (an annual wish), I wish for a full season of health, regardless of the uniform you will be wearing.
I wish for a Tigers opening day (vs. Boston) with temperatures in the 60s and sunshine. It's been cold and rainy the last few years.
For former Tigers shortstop Alan Trammell, I wish for an increase in Hall of Fame votes if not enough for election. Your numbers are as good, if not better, than some shortstops already in Cooperstown.
For Michigan football coach Brady Hoke, I wish for a streak-snapping win against the team from East Lansing. Yes, that also qualifies as a personal wish for me.
Last and certainly not least, for the Detroit Lions, I wish for a trip to Indianapolis in early February. If Arizona can make it there is no reason the Lions can't. Then again, a Super Bowl win might just prove the Mayan calendar to be right.

The Bulldogs in 2007 got out to a 17-3 first quarter lead against Auburn and won 45-20 in a top-20 matchup.
"It was kind of a perfect storm for us that day," Richt said Wednesday night after practice. "Just the emotions of the fans, the excitement of the fans, the emotion of the players when we kind of sprung that thing on them. They were just at an emotional peak. We had something big happen early and it snowballed for us that day."
Richt said he didn't think Georgia was that much better than Auburn back then.
"This game was a little bit like that for South Carolina," Richt said. "We had opportunities that might could have made a difference. The first pass of the game if (Bacarri) Rambo squeezes it a little tighter and comes down with it, that's a big momentum play for us. Maybe we turn around and score, I don't know."
Auburn rallied in that game to lead 20-17 in the third quarter. Georgia never made a similar charge Saturday.
"It's just like I told the team whether you lose by a point or you lose by 28 points, it's only one loss, it's not five losses," Richt said. "It feels like three or four losses, but it's only one."
Richt was asked to assess the coaching job done this season.
"Overall, I think we've coached pretty well," he said. "A lot of really good things have been happening, but when you lose a game the way we did, you start to evaluate everything."
Reeling in recruits from Texas?
While Georgia's players are getting a chance to regroup halfway through the season and get reenergized for the games to come, coaches will be mixing in recruiting this week along with practices.
Recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner said assistants would be on the road this week Monday, Friday and Saturday.
That includes plans for stops at junior colleges, with receivers coach Tony Ball going today and Garner on Saturday.
Georgia has switched up some of its recruiting areas among its assistants and will be going more into Texas now that Texas A&M is in the Southeastern Conference.
"We want to be able to go throw a hook in the water and see if we can get a little nibble," Garner said.
Georgia, of course, landed quarterback Matthew Stafford from Dallas.
Garner recruited defensive lineman Dale Dixson from that area.
Texas produced the second most players on NFL rosters on opening weekend, according to USA Football with 200, seven behind California. Florida was third with 189 and Georgia was fourth with 92.
Jones out of practice
Georgia can take it slow during the bye week with linebacker Jarvis Jones after he sprained his right ankle against South Carolina.
Jones missed his second straight day of practices on Wednesday when the Bulldogs had a physical, full pads workout and he may not go today, Richt said.
"We just want to get him rested up 100 percent," Richt said. "He probably could have played this week. It's just that time of the year where we're allowed to let a guy get to the point where hopefully he's not even sore anymore. …He's definitely one where we're going to allow to get as healthy as possible before we get going again on Kentucky on Monday."
Georgia treated the practice "like spring football," Richt said with "live" scrimmaging.
That was taking a risk doing it midseason, Richt said, but there were no major injuries.
Richt said one player got the back of his foot stepped on but thinks the player will return by Monday. Another player dislocated his finger.
"It was not a quarterback," said Richt, who did not want to identify either player. "It was not a receiver. He's a guy that usually doesn't catch the ball."
This and that
Defensive end Garrison Smith is likely to get more playing time because he's been productive and to give other players more rest, Richt said. "Garrison's been playing but I think we believe he should play more snaps," Richt said.
Richt will attend his son Jon's homecoming game for Mars Hill (N.C.) College against Catawba Saturday afternoon. The senior quarterback has thrown for 1,400 yards with 15 touchdown passes with 10 interceptions in six games for a team that is in first place in the Division II South Atlantic Conference.
Georgia commitment Tramel Terry from Goose Creek (S.C.) was named Wednesday to the South Carolina team for the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas that will play a team from North Carolina on Dec. 15 in Spartanburg.

When a buyer purchases real property, the title to the property is subject to rights and claims that others have in the property. These rights and claims, such as mortgages, leases, and easements, may come with financial consequences. In fact, certain defects and encumbrances interfere with more than the buyer's use and possession of the property; they also may call into question whether the buyer is the rightful owner. A mortgage lender's lien in real estate is similarly subject to various interests in the property. Title problems and liens can jeopardize the lender's ability to collect if a foreclosure is necessary. For these reasons, there is title insurance.
Title insurance is an indemnity contract between the insurance company and the owner of some type of interest in real property. Like more conventional insurance products, title insurance is intended to protect real estate buyers, mortgagees, and other insured parties by shifting the risk of loss surrounding title matters from those parties to the title insurance company. The title company then spreads the risk among all of its insureds.
Usually, the real estate interests insured are fee simple ownership or a mortgage lien; however, any interest in real property can be insured, including such things as easements, leases, or even life estates. If a monetary loss results from a title defect or lien on the insured property, the title insurer will defend the insured against any attack on the title or pay the insured for the money lost up to the amount of the policy, provided the defect is not excluded within the coverage exceptions.
Most insurance provides contractual coverage, indemnifying or guaranteeing the consumer or business against certain types of losses at some future date. Title insurance covers past occurrences, not potential events. It is designed to eliminate or reduce risk by assessing the public record and other matters known to or disclosed to the title company. Title companies are able to minimize those risks by establishing the chain of title and identifying the potential for any adverse claims. Once the title exam has been completed, a title company typically provides a title commitment, which involves a promise of insuring the title, restricted by the terms of the commitment. At that point, potential defects can be either corrected before the issuance of the title policy or excluded by the express terms of the policy.
The two most common title policies are the Owner's Policy and the Mortgagee's Policy. The Owner's Policy details the coverage as of the policy's effective date and provides a litany of exclusions to coverage that the title company refuses to insure, known as "Schedule B Exclusions." Typically, the policy limit is the purchase price of the property, and coverage lasts as long as the insured maintains the covered interest.
A Mortgagee's Policy (or Lender's Policy) insures the enforceability of the lender's mortgage lien. Just as a lender will demand that the property has casualty and hazard insurance to protect the lender's investment, the first lienholder also will require title insurance as security for its investment in the real estate, protecting against defects and liens. This protects all lenders up to the amount of their loans. Lenders do not want to be standing behind any other interest holder if they are trying to collect on their collateral. Title insurance for lenders makes sense as an investment, but it is also a legal requirement for many regulated mortgage lenders and has contributed to the proliferation of the secondary mortgage market in this country.
Title insurance now plays a critical role in this U.S. economy. Without title insurance, real estate buyers would be subject to the problems of prior owners and to devastating costs in defending property rights in court. Title insurance offers reliable protection to buyers of real property and to the lenders who make the purchases possible.
Ask the Mentor
Query: Who are the officers of the Section, and how does the advancement process work? Does the Vice-Chair of each Division automatically become the next Chair of the entire Section?
Although the Section Council serves in a "corporate governance" role similar to a board of directors, the Section's Executive Committee, which comprises the Section officers, is responsible for managing the business of the Section, in conjunction with Section staff.
The officers of the Section are selected from among the many hard-working volunteers who have dedicated significant time and effort on behalf of the Section and have demonstrated leadership and vision for advancing the mission of the Section. The Section's Nominating Committee recommends a slate of officers for each bar year, after consultation with members of Council, standing committee chairs, and past Chairs of the Section. The office of Chair-Elect alternates each year between the Vice-Chairs of the Real Property and the Probate & Trust Divisions, who succeed automatically to the office.

G. Janardhana Reddy
|Gali Janardhana Reddy
|Minister in the Government of Karnataka
|In office
31 May 2008 – 3 August 2011
|Member, Legislative Council
|Assumed office
18 June 2006
|Personal details
11 January 1967
Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh
|Businessman (GJR Group CMD)
|Legislative Council Page
Gali Janardhana Reddy (born 11 January 1967) is an Indian politician formerly with the Bharatiya Janata Party and one of the richest politicians of Karnataka. He has subsequently been implicated in the illegal mining scandal in Bellary and the related Belekeri port scam.[1] In 2009, a Supreme Court of India-appointed central empowerment committee recommended action against Reddy-owned Obulapuram Mining Company.[2] An FIR in the case was filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Also, Santosh Hegde, the Lokayukta or ombudsman of Karnataka state, had indicted Reddy and his two brothers, all of whom were cabinet ministers in the Bharathiya Janata Party ruled Karnataka state government at the time, in the mining scandal.
After being arrested and sent to judicial custody, all three Reddy brothers (and the then CM B. S. Yeddyurappa) were removed from their ministerial positions. Subsequently, they broke away from the BJP. While Yeddyurappa formed the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP) party, the Reddy brothers joined up with B. Sriramulu to form the BSR Congress party.
Janardhana Reddy and his brothers G. Karunakara Reddy and G. Somashekara Reddy were born into the Telugu speaking family of police constable Chenga Reddy, in Chittoor district Andhra Pradesh and grew up in Bellary. He and his brothers transformed themselves in less than a decade from industrialists into political bosses who dominated local government in the Bellary district, which holds the state's richest iron ore deposits.[1]
Janardhana never had a college education. He came into the limelight during the Lok Sabha elections in 1999, when the Reddy brothers worked in the campaign for Sushma Swaraj after she stood as a long-shot candidate in Bellary, against Sonia Gandhi. Though Swaraj lost, she remained a patron of the Reddys, and was known to visit Bellary frequently. However, after the mining scandal broke out and the Reddy brothers were indicted, chargesheeted and sent to judicial custody, Swaraj distanced herself from them, and all three Reddy brothers were expelled from the BJP's state government in Karnataka as well as from the party itself.[3]
Business history, growth of influence and wealth[edit]
In 1998, Janardhana Reddy's finance company, Ennoble India Savings, collapsed, leaving unpaid debts of over Rs. 200 crores.[4][5] However, by 2008, he and his wife declared assets of Rs. 1.20 billion.[6][6] The Reddy brothers obtained their first lease for an iron mine in 2004 when the Indian National Congress party led the government in Karnataka state. Since then, their rise has been meteoric, driven by soaring commodity prices, primarily due to demand for iron ore from China.[1]
Involvement in Karnataka politics[edit]
The state government headed by B. S. Yeddyurappa of the BJP, requiring the support of a group of legislators aligned with Reddy, was in a precarious position in mid-2009.[7] In a compromise with Yeddyurappa, the Reddys forced the removal of Karnataka minister Shobha Karandlaje and chief secretary V.P. Baligar, and obtained ministerial berths for themselves.[7][8]
Sushma Swaraj is said to have stepped in to prevent the removal of the Reddy brothers from the Karnataka ministry in mid-2010, after uproar due to the mining scandal.[9][10]
In August 2011, D. V. Sadananda Gowda of the BJP succeeded Yeddyurappa as chief minister of Karnataka and did not include the Reddy brothers in his cabinet of ministers. Subsequently, Yeddyurappa broke away from the BJP to form his own party, the KJP. The Reddy brothers broke away to form BSR Congress with B. Sriramulu.
Involvement in Andhra Pradesh politics[edit]
Born into a Telugu-speaking family, Janardhana Reddy also wields considerable influence in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. He was close to former chief minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and his son Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. It is alleged that it was this influence that he wielded with the Congress party that enabled him to obtain the iron ore mining license in Bellary from the Congress state government in Karnataka in 2004.[11][12][13] Jaganmohan Reddy is also reported to have a business interest in Brahmani Steels.[14] The loss of political support resulting from the death of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy has increased the scrutiny of Janardhana Reddy's mining activities.[15] The CBI is running two parallel investigations in Hyderabad into the illegal mining activities of Janardhana Reddy and the allegations of corruption against Jaganmohan Reddy.[16]
Implication in 2011 Lokayukta report on Illegal Mining[edit]
In July 2011, the Lokayukta of Karnataka, Santosh Hegde, published a report on the illegal mining activities in the Bellary region. Janardhana Reddy was accused of completely rigging the iron ore mining in this area and defrauding the government. Directorate General of Income Tax Investigation officials had clues to tax evasion and found that Reddy had entered into a MoU with a one-dollar company of Singapore to camouflage the company's income suppression. They raided the place along with other investigative agencies and formed a report which was the basis of the report on illegal mining. Reddy is said to have designed a "Zero-Risk system" of iron ore mining, where he seamlessly provided protection to unauthorized and unaccounted mining, with active connivance from government officials at all levels. The rule of the iron ore mafia under his command was called the "Republic of Bellary" in which no external control or governance mechanism had any effect.[17][18]
Janardhana Reddy was arrested on 5 September 2011 by the CBI, and taken to Hyderabad, the capital of the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh.[19] He is accused of being involved in illegal mining of iron ore in Bellary in Karnataka and Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh. This investigation is the culmination of a recommendation to Income Tax Department and CBI by the former Andhra Pradesh chief minister K. Rosaiah and not directly related to the findings of Karnataka Lokayukta Santosh Hegde.[20] After the CBI court heard his lawyers representations, he along with his brother-in-law, B. V. Srinivas Reddy was remanded to judicial custody and sent to Chanchalguda Jail.[21] The CBI in its ongoing investigations also arrested senior officers of the IAS and IRS.[22][23][24] A CBI court on 4 August 2012, extended the judicial custody of Janardhana Reddy and four others arrested in the illegal mining case till 7 September.[25] SC grants bail to mining baron Janardhan Reddy on 21st Jan 2015.
Allegation of Judicial Bribery[edit]
The CBI is also investigating the alleged bribing of Hyderabad Special Court judge T.Pattabhirama Rao to secure bail for G. Janardhana Reddy in the Obulapuram Mining Company case, by his family members (G.Somashekar Reddy & H.Suresh Babu).[26] Further investigations by CBI implicated others, including a retired judge T.V. Chalapathi Rao, in the "Cash for Bail" scandal.[27][28]
Daughter's Lavish Wedding[edit]
Reddy was criticised over lavish spendings of his daughter's wedding which was held in Palace Grounds, Bangalore. He spent 500 crores for his daughter wedding.Married to a 23 year mba graduate who hails from a family operating gold mines in south Africa, Tanzania and granite marble businesses in Turkey.

This past summer the Ottawa Senators decided to make a statement in the free agent market by signing Martin Gerber to a 3 year, $3.7 million per year contract hopefully ending all of their goaltending issues they seem to have always had. I didn't like the deal at the time and next summer we will all find out why. The Senators have about $34.5 million in salary cap space already committed to 13 players. If we assume that the salary cap remains at $44 million (it may even drop), that leaves about $8 million to spend on 8-9 players and approximately $1.5 million in buffer space that every team wants.
Now the problem is that one of the players that needs their contract renewed is Ray Emery. Emery has not only clearly been the Senators best goalie, but he has been one of the better goalies in the NHL. Last season at times he showed he can be one of the better goalies in the NHL. So, is it unrealistic to epect that if he continues performing like he has that he doesn't deserve at least what Martin Gerber is making? If that is the case Ray Emery is going to suck up half of that $8 million leaving $4 million for 8 players. That means those 8 players will have to be close to league minimum ($475,000) players. Problem is, only 3 defenseman (Redden, Corvo and Meszaros) are signed for next season and trust me, that will be a pretty horrible defense with 3 league minimum players playing on it.
So where does that leave the Senators? It leaves them in desperation to free up some salary cap room sometime between now and the free agent signing period of next summer. The obvious choice will be to try and dump Gerber on someone but as of right now, who would want Gerber with the way he has played and with other better goalies like Nabokov, Toskala, Bryzgalov or even Biron all potentially available. The only team in dire need of a goalie is Phoenix though Philadelphia and a few other teams might be looking to upgrade as well. But the way Gerber has played he wouldn't even provide them with an upgrade. So if the Sens are to be able to trade Gerber between now and next summer they will need to play him and hope he can show that he can be at least a second tier starting goalie. Problem is, with the poor start the Senators have had to the season they don't have a lot of room to play at the moment to let Gerber work through his game. To me it seems highly unlikely that they will be able to trade Gerber.
So, what are the other options? They could at some point demote Gerber to the AHL taking his salary off the salary cap books but the Senators aren't a money making organization and I am not sure Melnyk would want to take that financial hit. They could buy him out resulting in a cap hit of approximately $1.23 million for the next 4 years but one has to wonder if that is a vialble option too because Melnyk would still be on the hook for paying him close to $5 million for not playing with the Senators. They could demote him to the AHL, recall him and hope someone takes him on recall waivers saving the Senators half his salary and half his cap hit. This seems to be the somewhat more vialble but still not ideal. since by the time you pay for half of Gerber's salary and at a minimum $500,000 for another backup goalie you are still forking out $2.35 million for goalies after Emery saving just $1.35 million from the keeping Gerber option. You are still not going to sign any quality defensemen for that amount of money.
The only other option to free up cap room for next summer is to keep Gerber and trade another high priced player. I wonder who that could be.

The Everybodyfields
In 2004, the group released their debut album, Half-Way There: Electricity & the South, which appeared on their own Captain Mexico label. The Everybodyfields' second album, Plague of Dreams, was released by Captain Mexico in the fall of 2005, but in 2006 Richey parted ways with the group to pursue a career in bluegrass music. Andrews and Quinn added Josh Oliver (on guitar and keyboards) and Tom Pryor (on pedal steel) to their regular lineup, and the new version of the Everybodyfields attracted the attention of Ramseur Records, an independent label that had been enjoying great success with the Avett Brothers, who had often shared stages with Andrews and Quinn. Ramseur released the Everybodyfields' third and most ambitious album, Nothing Is Okay, in the summer of 2007. Two years later, however, the bandmates announced their decision to split up, with Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn both going on to launch solo careers. ~ Mark Deming

Prescription and Illicit Drug Abuse
Frequently Asked Questions
9. Which types of prescription medications do older adults abuse the most?
The prescription medications most commonly abused by people of any age are opioids (painkillers), depressants, and stimulants.
Doctors prescribe opioids to relieve pain and, sometimes, to treat severe coughs and diarrhea. Common opioid prescription medications include the following:
- morphine (MS Contin®, Kadian®, Avinza®), which is used before and after surgical procedures to treat severe pain
- codeine (Tylenol with Codeine®, Robitussin AC®), which is prescribed for mild pain
- hydrocodone (Vicodin®, Lortab®, Zydone®), which is prescribed to relieve moderate to severe pain
- oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percodan®, Percocet®, Tylox®, Roxicet®), which is used to relieve moderate to severe pain
- fentanyl (Duragesic®), which is a strong pain medication typically delivered through a "pain patch" and prescribed for severe ongoing pain
For more on opioids, see "What Are the Possible Consequences of Opioid Use and Abuse?"
Depressants are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. The types of depressants that are most commonly abused are barbiturates (Secobarbital® ,Mebaral® and Nembutal®) and benzodiazepines (Valium®, Librium®, and Xanax®).
For more on depressants, see "What Are the Possible Consequences of CNS Depressant Use and Abuse?"
Stimulants are used to treat narcolepsy (a sleep disorder), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and depression that has not responded to other treatments. These medications increase alertness, attention, and energy. Stimulants include methylphenidate (Ritalin® and Concerta®), and amphetamines (Adderall®).

Did you ever resolve this issue?
My '05 X3 with 115k miles was fine, but after a recent state inspection where they changed the rear
and replaced several emissions related components (to the tune of $2100) my car is now experiencing the same issues. 2 or 3 hard jerks between 1-2 and 2-3 and a shudder (like driving on rumble strips) in higher gears. Seems normal from a cold start but gets worse as it warms up. Also, hitting a bump seems to start the shuddering and I have to let off the gas to smooth it out again.
I had the shop who did the work flash a new shift program based on a SIB but it didn't fix it. They don't seem interesting in tracking this issue down. Based on other posts I'm thinking its either an alignment issue or coil packs (given that it happens more when warmed up).
Any insight would be great. Thanks.

Sony reveals cloud-based streaming, rental service PS Now
Sony has announced PlayStation Now, the Gaiki-powered streaming service that will use cloud technology to allow players access to PS3 games on their PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and Bravia TVs.

Sony plans to eventually expand the service further to include non-Sony products, allowing gamers to "enjoy instant access to a game wherever there's Wi-Fi connectivity" along with seamless transition between devices. The service will feature the ability to rent specific titles or subscribe for access to the library. There will be online multiplayer and trophy support. For those curious about the system's integration with the current setup, the PS Blog responded to a community question that the PS Store will continue to offer downloadable titles in addition to PS Now's streaming services.

Depression is an area I have focused on for more than a decade. I help people to gain a deeper insight about themselves, thereby improving their ability to make better decisions and decrease their depression. I've recently heard a statistic that ~1/3 of American women have taken medication for it at some point in their lives. If true, that is an astounding figure. Unfortunately the medicine does not cure, but only supresses the symptoms. For long-term success, therapy is an essential component.

State Environment Chief In Hot Seat Over Fracking
Department of Environmental Conservation Chief Joseph Martens submitted to nearly three hours of intense questioning by members of a New York State Assembly committee on an issue that has inflamed passions like few others: high volume hydraulic fracturing, otherwise known as 'fracking.'
A mild-mannered former leader of a conservation group, Martens kept his cool, but must have felt some discomfort, playing the part of fracking's defender. Even as he assured Assembly members his agency could force the gas industry to drill safely, Martens was repeatedly interrupted by angry members of the public. As Martens took his leave, one yelled, "God have mercy on your soul!"
Outbursts of incivility notwithstanding, several issues came to the fore that will likely continue to draw scrutiny during the review process:
Health Impacts
Many of the questions around fracking are connected with public health impacts, such as recent "such as the potential contamination of private water wells" in Pennsylvania. Martens said DOH is very much involved in the regulations DEC is writing. The agency may come under pressure in the coming weeks to show that it is preparing to meet the challenges of fracking.
Economic Impacts
Assembly members criticized DEC's Socio-Economic Impact Analysis (done by an outside firm), for relying industry-provided statistics, and failing to fully examine potential job losses caused by fracking - in addition to the economic benefits of gas drilling. Martens responded by saying that the report deliberately offered both high-end and low-end projections. Members did not seem impressed with his statement that it would be harder to assess likely job losses (in areas like tourism and farming) than job gains (in areas like well servicing.) Jeanette Barth, a former economist for the MTA, has raised a number of questions about the way the Socio-Economic Impact Analysis was conducted.
Paying for Oversight and Remediation
Some of the biggest unanswered questions about DEC's fracking plans center around funding — for day-to-day oversight and for disaster response and remediation. Martens estimates DEC will need to hire 140 new staffers just to process the early drilling applications. A panel has been appointed to examine various options, including a severance tax and/or bonding. Martens said he expects to have recommendations in early November. However, he may have provided an early clue about his intentions by repeatedly mentioning Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's bonding plan, without specifically endorsing it.
Clarification: WNYC originally stated that there were reports of links to barium poisoning in Pennsylvania. That is not entirely accurate. There are concerns about potential contamination in wells in the state.

China moves to protect great rivers
Page Tools
China is to protect the sources of three of the world's great rivers to put on an international green face.
Dammed and polluted in China's rush to economic development, the Yangtze, Mekong and Yellow rivers, which all rise near each other on the Tibetan plateau, are in such a poor state that China has become worried.
Floods that kill hundreds every year on both the Yangtze and Yellow rivers are blamed on erosion, while outside the rainy season the Yellow River, on which northern China has historically relied, often dries up in parts altogether.
The situation has given a new credibility to the State Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), which has been backed by Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.
It was announced on Wednesday that the agency was to spend $A1.2 billion creating a nature reserve around the rivers' sources.
Environmentalists welcomed the plans, but are concerned that a string of orders to save China's rivers might fall victim to the Communist Party's infighting and opaque politics.
Last month, the agency ordered 30 major construction projects to be stopped because they had failed to carry out environmental impact assessments. Two were power stations for the giant Three Gorges dam, whose first phase opened in 2003, while a third was the subsidiary Xiluodu dam in the mountains of Yunnan.
Even the state news agency Xinhua admitted this dam would flood some of the world's most spectacular canyons and gorges.
But state media have since confirmed that eight of the 30 have defied the order, including all three Three Gorges projects. The manager of the company responsible said he refused to accept he was doing anything wrong.
What the media have not pointed out is that two of the country's leading power companies, one of which was named by SEPA, are controlled by children of Li Peng, the former prime minister. Mr Li played a major role in pushing the Three Gorges dam through in the face of huge opposition.
The case of the Mekong raises even more complex issues for China."
Jim Harkness, China representative for the World Wide Fund for Nature, said the row raised concerns that the new reserve would not be part of an integrated strategy for preserving the rivers.
"What this basically shows is that China's Government is not a monolithic structure," he said. "There are people in government who support building dams in upper stretches of the rivers and some who oppose it."
The case of the Mekong raises even more complex issues for China. South-east Asian countries such as Cambodia and Vietnam are increasingly worried by falling water levels due to China's dams.
These are the very same countries to whom China is currently trying to prove that its new status as a regional power does not present a threat.
Few doubt that party leaders are genuinely concerned about the environment, but many analysts say the stress on economic growth remains key, particularly for provincial bosses and special interest groups.
"The people around Li Peng are still around and still powerful," said one Western diplomat. "And people might not want to take on his son.
"There is a whole debate now about how to judge officials. Everyone is talking about moving away from measuring GDP growth to include things like the environment."

After a 2011 outbreak of P. aeruginosa, investigators at Beaumont Health System near Detroit, Michigan determined contaminated ultrasound gel was the source of bacteria causing the healthcare-associated infection. The findings emphasize the need for increased scrutiny of contaminated medical products. This study is published in the August issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, the journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.

I guess I forgot the first ps3 was only 20Gb.
That's funny since the Last of Us is 21 gigs all by itsself.
I'm going to assume games will be smaller on the PS4 now that it has the compression stuff on a chip. Things can stay compressed on disk easier.
They're already compressed like crazy. Games are only going to get bigger.
I just upgraded to a 1 tb internal on my PS3 and I pre-ordered a PS4 on day 1. Just cause PS4 comes out doesn't mean PS3 won't have any games. Quite the opposite probably, since the free games for PS+ are always over a year old, there won't be much free offerings on PS4 for awhile.

Yup, just buy a PSN card or PS+ sub from Best Buy, Game Stop, or Amazon (digital codes sent via email).
After the network breach I've decided to not store my CC with them again, even though it's probably now safer than most places. But why bother when digital cards are avalible?

You can also add funds to your wallet via PayPal. That's how I do it . So any money a client pays me now on PayPal instantly becomes PSN mad money.

I don't think you can use PayPal directly from the PSN store on the PS3. You can go to this link on your PC, log in, click Account Management and you should see a PayPal option there.
I didn't know a PP method was available using that site!! That's awesome, saves me the hassle of buying PSN card codes, I'm not from the US so I even had to pay a few more dollars extra because places like Amazon will only accept US credit cards for such digital purchases.
Thanks man!
Arghh I need to stop. Just got Arkham Asylum, Shadow of the Colossus, Deadspace, and the Ratchet series last week now I got the Prince of Persia classic trilogy plus The Simpsons and Xmen arcade games today. I missed out on the free Simpsons deal awhile back so I figured why not for less than 5 bucks. Still, man these sales are too good to pass up now that I've dedicated myself to digital only. I see no reason not to continue that route with the PS4 and it sucks there won't be compatibility to keep them there locally (not a big fan of streaming games). With digital games I seem to be converting over to the backwards compatibility camp a bit more.
Once you go digital it's hard to go back. A few months ago, I started running out of room in the cabinet I stored my video games, so that coupled with the PSN sales for Plus members has gradually pulled me to the digital side. So nice not having to change discs any more.
I'll definitely grab Sorcery and Datura, though I may drop a game I was planning on getting in this week's sale that is expiring today.
Staples has a My Passport Studio for Mac 500GB portable hard drive for $22.50 on clearance, in store only ..... it's just a regular 2.5 hard drive inside, you can just pull the drive and throw it into you PS3 from a nice and cheap hard drive upgrade and throw the the drive you pulled from your PS3 in the case for a bonus portable hard drive.
Earlier this year, I shopped for several months to get a highly rated 500 GB HDD for around $50, and then when I was just about to pull the trigger on one, I saw a highly rated 1 TB on newegg.com for $75 and knew I would be better off in the long run, even if I end up putting it in my PS4 down the road. It's nice not having to think twice about anything I'm downloading, or worrying about quickly beating a free Plus game so I can delete it to make room for the next game I want.
It is to me, I don't think anyone wouldn't want US to get the same quality games Euro does.
That said, does anyone have any theories why games like RDR, ME3, and Arkham City were added to Europe's IGC and not North America's? Sony offers game publishers some fee for the right to put the game up for free; presumably the publishers feel it's worthwhile to do so in the European market, but not in the American one. Why? Is it because the game is still selling in America but not in Europe?
No. I've been more than happy with the U.S. giveaways so far.
I suppose theres a few titles there that stand out....but they also pay significantly more for the service than we do. 50 Euros is like 65 dollars. Not to mention they get hosed on EVERYTHING video game related. I'd hardly want to trade places with europe when it comes to gaming...so I say let them have this one little thing. And I know this sounds strange but....I kind of prefer not have so many 80+ games on plus. I'm more likely to just buy or own those games....any time we get one, I'm always like "oh wow, thats free? Cool...too bad I have it already." That would have gone for almost every single title the EU has over us. What I really like it for is the smaller, lesser known games that I'd probably never give a chance if I didnt get them for free.

In the end, Tiger Woods did not have to throw a punch to settle his conflict with Sergio Garcia. The Spaniard knocked himself out to gift Woods the Players Championship and a third win from his last four events.
Garcia, playing in the final group, had just birdied 16 to draw level with Woods at 13 under par. The middle of the green at the island par-three was calling him but he was not listening. He went for the Hollywood finale instead and drowned his ball. Twice.
Woods does not need any help to win a tournament. On he went to par the 18th to secure his 78th PGA Tour victory by two shots, leaving him just four short of Sam Snead's record. Having won four times this year in six stroke play events, Snead's mark does not appear long for the record books.
Woods last won the 'fifth Major' during his formidable peak 12 years ago. The stats are pointing to another flowering every bit as towering. The second Major of the season, the US Open, is one month away. A 15th Major victory at Merion, a course he is yet to play, is what it will take to convince the purists that he is back after the nadir of the 2009 sex scandal.
Garcia believed he had his measure here after picking a fight during their third round. If Woods did misbehave by drawing his club from his bag when Garcia was about to play at the second hole on Saturday, he had nothing to do with Garcia's implosion at 17 yesterday. "Maybe I was a little too confident. At 16 I hit a great shot with a six-iron. I felt like I was back feeling good. If I had hit it a bit farther left it would have been fine," said Garcia who moved up two places to 13 in the world rankings despite his bad finish.
The response of the galleries told Woods all he needed to know. "There were a few well-influenced [merry] people on the 18th tee who were telling me what was going on behind us. So yeah, I knew," he said.
The day could not have ended better for Woods, who returned at first light with Garcia as one of four groups still to finish their third rounds following the overnight suspension forced by bad weather.
After completing the final four holes, Garcia expressed his delight at not being paired with Woods in the last round. "I'm not going to lie. He's not my favourite guy to play with. He's not the nicest guy on tour," Garcia said. "You don't need to be a rocket engineer to figure out we don't get along."
Garcia denied that the contretemps had any effect on his performance, adding he had no regrets about his role in the escalation of bad feeling between the two. He said: "It sounds like I was the bad guy here. I was the victim. I don't have any regrets. It really distracted me at the time then after that you kind of move on and try to figure things out."
Woods refused to be distracted. "I had an opportunity to win the tournament. I thought I handled the situation well and played well when I really needed to," he said. Garcia followed the quadruple-bogey seven with a double at the last to fall into a seven-way tie for eighth place, alongside Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood, a downward spiral that cost him an estimated £975,000.
Scot Martin Laird topped the British effort on 10 under par and a share of fifth spot. Luke Donald closed tied 19th on five under par.

Video: When zany geniuses collide
posted at 3:46 pm on October 31, 2012 by Allahpundit
Something to cleanse the palate on a day when the biggest news story in all the land, per Drudge, is Joe Biden offering to give people his "load."
Side note to fellow Whovians: I was bitterly disappointed at the end of the Amy Pond storyline. Two and half years of falling in love with the character, up in smoke in in a five-minute sequence tacked on as an afterthought to a run-of-the-mill episode about the weeping angels? They owed her a two-episode story arc at least, ideally ending with her returned somehow to her childhood in Scotland. That was always the core charm of the Doctor/Amy pairing — watching a little girl get to have adventures with her imaginary friend as an adult. Instead she ends up choosing to live out her days in 1930s New York because she can't bear to be apart from … Rory, the biggest cipher in sci fi? C'mon. "The Girl Who Waited" would have been an elegant finale. Sad to think they couldn't rise to that level one last time.

The ULI Foundation Governors are a select group of members united in their commitment to ensuring the future of the Urban Land Institute.
Governors distinguish themselves and their profession by making a significant philanthropic investment in ULI. Each governor contributes $50,000 or more to ULI's endowment, generating income in perpetuity for the Institute and securing its ability to deliver top-quality research and programming on sustainable land use and community development.
"Being a governor helps to support the core of ULI's future success and stability," said Mark Kehke, president and chief operating officer of DMB Pacific Ventures LLC and a ULI Foundation Governor since 2004. "Those who truly believe in ULI owe it to themselves, the organization, and the industry to go beyond their initial contributions."
Launched in 1982, the ULI Foundation Governors program is designed to be a stable stream of funding to support ULI's core research and education programs. The benefits of joining the campaign are significant, as governors have unparalleled opportunities throughout each year to network, socialize, and expand their knowledge and influence in their professional spheres and beyond through exclusive events, retreats, and travel opportunities exploring global land use issues. Governors are also prominently recognized in widely distributed printed and multimedia materials in association with the ULI programs and projects they support.
Governors who contribute $100,000 or more can join the Foundation's Board of Overseers, which advises the Foundation's chairman and board of directors on fundraising and other matters.
ULI Foundation Governors also provide substantial thought leadership by participating on Governors Advisory Panels, multidisciplinary teams of experts who help communities to address important land use and real estate development issues. Most important, GAPs are provided to communities free of charge.
"It's a privilege to be a ULI Foundation Governor and to be able to give back to an organization that has been so important to our business and the real estate community," said John Ropes, founder and president of Ropes Associates Inc. and a governor since 2007. "Through relationships made in ULI, I can call on members around the world who are willing to share their experiences to help meet today's challenges."

When I noticed late last year that the Council on Foundations' annual conference would focus on climate change, I was delighted. For The Fund for New Jersey and other place-based funders, climate change has been a daunting challenge.
The Year in Review highlights the scope of the Council on Foundation's work in 2015.
As I've read and watched others' reflections on the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's destruction of a great American city, I'm compelled to tell some of my story.
With the American Business Act on Climate Pledge, Walmart saw formally supporting it as meeting all five of these tests, and therefore being a prudent decision for our business. It was a natural extension of our decade-long commitment to reduce emissions, and make our business more efficient.
Council on Foundations Q&A with Ann Sewill, Vice President of Housing & Economic Development, California Community Foundation
The San Diego Foundation and Climate Education Partners Provide Leadership on Regional Preparedness for Climate Change
Picture your favorite childhood escape or a vacation destination you frequented with loved ones. Now, you are surprised by a child tugging at your sleeve asking, "What are you doing to address the impacts of climate change?"
As we celebrate and ponder a century of Community Foundation impact in our society, the convergence of community and climate is increasingly relevant. In just a few days, EGA, the Council on Foundations, and Funders Network for Smart Growth are bringing together community foundations who have led the field in incorporating sustainable communities and resilience into their work with leaders in climate science to have more dialogue on how environment, communities and community foundations connect and need to connect as we face increasing challenges to our neighborhood and world.
In our tornado-, flood-, drought-, ice-, you-name-it belt of the Midwest, we live by the maxim that it's not "if," but "when" the next natural disaster will strike.
oes it seem to you that we are hearing more about wildfires? There's a reason: they are increasing in frequency and intensity and occurring over a longer period of months.
When Community Foundations Convene, Collaborate and Connect - The Artificial Reef Project at the Community Foundation of Collier County
The problem was as vast as the ocean – or in our case, the Gulf of Mexico, floor. Over time, the reef system in the Gulf waters bordering Collier County in SW Florida had been destroyed by hurricanes and shifting currents. For fish and other marine life, there was nowhere to run – or hide – and the impact on Collier County's environment and tourism industry was significant and growing more severe.

I think I have a little crush on Lulu. We have a lot in common and I think she's dreamy.
It's my 6th birfday! I've had six happy years of bitting meowmie! It's been good times.
OK, kitties. I don't want to upset any of my furriends who might have a different opinion so I want to make it clear that the following diary entery is based on what my meowmie thinks- NOT me!
If you live in the US then I want you to know some things before November about Sarah Palin. I've known the name for a while now as I am very into wildlife and care a lot about the protection of habitat and the lives of all animals. Sarah Palin has placed a "bounty" on wolves in Alaska. Even baby wolf pups are killed. She also encourages the government to drill in Alaska in places already designated for wildlife. I'm thinking of moving to Canada - can I? I cried when I found out McCain picked her. Are we in the dark ages? Here's more info:
"As governor, Sarah Palin...
Proposed paying a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf.
Approved a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to promote aerial hunting.
Introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears." (this is from Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund)
Does any of this make anyone else want to cry? What is wrong with this person? Planes make animals easy targets. Sorry, Sarah. It doesn't make you a "tough, gun- totin' American." It actually makes you just as sad as whoever shot the poor stray cat (laying in my spare room right now - paralyzed) with a pellet gun. Hurting animals for fun isn't cool, Sarah - serial killers start out doing that. Are you doing it for food, Sarah? Do you eat wolves and bears, Sarah? If so, I could understand that. Alaskans have to eat, too. Although, I seriously doubt you're eating them - maybe just putting their heads on your wall for decoration?
I am so proud to be an American. Our forefathers worked so hard for what we have today. People's children are dying overseas for this country - a silly war started by a silly man that people here fought and gave their lives for us to have the right to elect. So we, the majority, made a mistake. That's alright. But isn't it wrong not to learn from our mistakes? Are we going to repay the founders of this great nation for our right to vote by making another mistake and electing another moron (or, at least, someone who isn't bright enough to know they are choosing a moron to run with them?)
I know a lot of people will have a problem with what I just wrote. I do not want to offend anyone. I'm sure everyone reading this is, in some way, an "animal person" (or else you wouldn't be on this site!) I might just be a little more of an animal person then most and I want anyone who does care a lot about animals to know these little facts before election day.
I apologize if I said anything too mean or if I made anyone angry. However, I have just as much of a right to think it and say it as anyone else has to disagree with me. I'm lucky to live in this country and have that right. I wish we had advanced so far as to say that the animals who make their homes here had the right to live their lives without any added troubles as well - life can be hard enough for any animal, human or otherwise, without us going out of our way to make it worse.
You can see more at:
(it's graphic and it actually shows the aerial hunting of wolves)
Anyway, Speedbump in no way endorses this message, so don't be mad at him about that. (there are many other reasons to be mad at the 'Bump such as, "Ouch! That hurts when you bite me, you big jerk!")
Everyone take care. Oh, and use the information in this rambling for good and not for evil!

I've had a few folks in my office recently discussing their budgets and one of the common problems is debt, being overwhelmed about it, not knowing how to tackle it. Here are some tips if you are facing a similar thing.
Understand the situation – There is no need for fancy software or mad technical skills to grab hold of your money situation. All you need is a pad, a pen and the bills. Write the lender's name, the balance due and keep a list of minimum payments. If because of divorce of other transitions you aren't sure if you are receiving all your bills- and you want to FULLY understand your debt situation – get a copy of your credit report, for free, at www.AnnualCreditReport.com
Make calls – Things aren't going to accidentally get better by inaction. The only way to take control and face your debt problems is with action. And in this case, that means phone calls. You need to call each lender and discuss terms to get back on track if you behind on repayment. You owe these people. You signed paperwork to pay them. You have not paid them. I'm sure there are good reasons for that, but you now need to see if there is a way to right this. Ask. Explain. Be mature and frank. Be polite. The person on the phone is working to pay their bills and is not out to get you. So be polite.
And a plan – Now that you have a handle on your debt condition, you will need to rearrange your spending so a repayment plan can be reliably met. You'll need to have a careful handle on your budget for food and other variable expenses. Variable expenses are the money spent that is not the same every month, such as food, entertainment, clothing expense, etc. You need food, but you don't need to eat out. You need clothing, but you can find that at Goodwill and shop significantly less often. You need to relax, but that doesn't mean going to the movies every week followed by bowling and other activities that cost money now needed for debt repayment.
Don't make things worse- Whatever you do, don't add to the problem in despair or immaturity. This is not the time for feeling sorry for yourself or acting as if you deserve a better lifestyle. You will HAVE a better lifestyle when the debts are paid off.
Celebrate – And speaking of a better life, every bit of progress you make is cause to celebrate. You are being responsible and digging yourself out of trouble. You have reason to be happy. So make sure you cheer for your good effort because this is awesome!
Good job!
