DPS allows publishers to send / schedule Text as well as Background Download Notifications.
Using text notifications from DPS, publishers can reach their specific set of readers with a targeted message. A segment of readers can be created in Adobe Analytics based on various criteria like readers that have downloaded a specific issue, readers that have viewed a specific article, readers that have previewed a specific issue, etc. If DPS publishers are using Adobe Analytics for their analytics needs they can segment their readers, export the list of these readers and then upload this list in the Text Notifications section of the DPS Portal to target notifications to these specific segment of readers.
Publishers can schedule Background Download Notifications after they have published an issue. If publishers are scheduling a publish of an issue, then as a best practice they should put some buffer time between scheduled publish and scheduled Background Download Notification.
This article gives you an overview of Text notification and Background Download notification features. It also explains how to send Text Notifications to specific segment of readers.
Publishers can create text notifications:
The Text Notification service allows publishers to customize the reader experience when the reader taps on the Text Notification with these options:
Background download notifications
Publishers can create and schedule Background Download Notifications for published folios. This notification informs the reader that a new issue is available, or it can trigger a background download of the new issue if the app is in the iOS Newsstand. The Background Download Notification feature is available only for multi-folio apps, not for single-folio apps.
Here is what the reader would see when their device receives a Background Download Notification:
Target and Schedule Text Notifications
A new Text Notification can be sent to targeted readers:
As a best practice, if in the prior step a publisher has specified that a reader should be taken to an iPad specific article after the Text Notification is tapped; then the targeted readers in this step should be "Readers on iPad" only. In this case, if "Readers on iPhone" or "All Readers" or "Readers that have not logged in the past month" is selected as a target reader and the Article name does not exist for an iPhone reader then the reader will get an error when the Text Notification is tapped by the reader. This is not a good reader experience. A new Text Notification can be created to be sent immediately or can be scheduled to be sent in future. The service also allows for scheduled Text Notifications (that are not started) to be cancelled. The timezone used for scheduling is extracted from the timezone set on the local machine.
View Notifications history
Publishers can create new Text / Background download Notification and view history of previous notifications that were scheduled/sent. Background Download Notification sent via Folio Producer will be shown in the history. When a new Text / Background download Notification is created / sent , a Text Notification could have various statuses as follows:
Each publication app on a device that recieves push notification has a unique Push Notification Token associated with it. If a reader has opted-in to receiving push notifications, the Push Notification Token associated with the reader is available in a DPS SiteCatalyst report suite. Refer to fig. 1 to understand how to access these tokens. These Push Notification Tokens in SiteCatalyst are Base64 encoded.
Here are three basic reports that publishers can begin with:
To learn more about tracking these Text Push Notifications sent, please refer to DPS Analytics Report Guide .
06/11/14: Updated to reflect new features added in the June 2014 DPS release, including push notification deep linking options and scheduled background downloads.
03/14/14: Updated to reflect new features added in the March 2014 DPS release, including addition text notification features, scheduling notifications, and viewing notification history.

And then along came Jones, slow-runnin' Jones
As it turns out Jarvis Jones was just slow enough.
The 4.9 40-yard dash Jones ran at his pro day got Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert excited.
That unsightly number suggested some teams might back off and the Georgia outside linebacker might fall to the Steelers at No. 17 overall in the first round of the NFL
Draft after all.
Jones hadn't run at the scouting combine and "we didn't talk to Jarvis at the combine," Colbert confirmed. "When he ran the 4.9 the first thing I did was talk to his
agent and set up the visit."
Jones had pretty much sacked everything in sight the past two seasons while playing in the monster SEC.
And at that visit the Steelers learned Jones is also a Steelers' kind of guy.
"He plays the game with a certain disposition we value, with a demeanor we value," head coach Mike Tomlin said. "He'll fit in with our guys."
And the Steelers didn't even have to trade up to get him.
They watched in Round One as three OLB candidates went off the board in the first six picks, including LSU's Barkevious Mingo, a player the Steelers would have taken over Jones.
But in the end they were more than happy to settle for what they got.
"Very, very pleased," Colbert assessed. "We're honored to have this guy join our team.
"We're really excited."
The departure of James Harrison suddenly doesn't hurt nearly as much.

text: UK 19 January 2011 How the Tories broke their promises on the EMA In January 2010 Cameron said: "We don't have any plans to get rid of them." Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The Liberal Democrats' decision to break their pledge to vote against higher tuition fees means that Nick Clegg's party is rightly derided for its dishonesty and mendacity. But if anything, the Conservatives' long list of broken promises is even worse. It was David Cameron who said that he had "no plans" to raise VAT (before increasing this regressive tax to 20 per cent), who promised that he wouldn't "change child benefit" (before abolishing it for higher earners) and who called for an end to the "top-down reorganisations of the NHS" (before announcing the biggest reforms since the health service was founded). Ahead of today's vote on the abolition of the Education Maintenance Allowance, it's worth remembering that this is another area in which the Tories have broken their election promises. As the video below shows, at a Cameron Direct event in January 2010, the Conservative leader said: "We've looked at educational maintenance allowances and we haven't announced any plan to get rid of them." Challenged to firm up his pledge, he added: "I said we don't have any plans to get rid of them . . . it's one of those things the Labour Party keep putting out that we are but we're not." Cameron wasn't the only prominent Conservative to come out in favour of the EMA. In an interview with the Guardian just before the election, Michael Gove said: "Ed Balls keeps saying that we are committed to scrapping EMA. I have never said this. We won't." The abolition of the EMA, which paid up to £30 a week to 16-to-18-years-olds living in households whose income is less than £30,800 a year, is likely to lower working-class participation in education and decrease social mobility. Gove may argue that there is little proof that the EMA makes more pupils stay on, but the National Foundation for Educational Research estimates an extra 10 per cent do. That may not sound like many, but at a time of high youth unemployment it prevents up to 60,000 more from joining the dole queue. There is also some evidence to suggest that the EMA benefits the economy as a whole by increasing the productivity of those who would have stayed on anyway (EMA recipients are required to attend 100 per cent of their lectures). In a recent piece for the NS, Gavin Kelly noted that while the removal of the 10p income-tax band had cost the average household £232, the abolition of the EMA will cost pupils as much as £1,200. Taken in conjunction with the large cuts to tax credits, this could be the closest the coalition comes to its own "10p moment". › Morning Call: pick of the papers George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver has a different vision than Gov. Chris Christie of where New Jersey is headed.
In a column posted on the Hall Institute of Public Policy website, the Essex County Democrat responded to the governor's State of the State address by saying that because of Christie's policies "families are paying more for less and systematically being forced out of their way of life."
Christie, in his State of the State, said that New Jersey is "improving — getting better every day." He ticked off a list of accomplishments, including slashing state spending, lowering state taxes and getting businesses interested in locating in New Jersey again.
But Oliver sees the flip side. State spending may be down, but that is at the expense of "thousands of working class women" who have "lost access to critical healthcare."
State taxes may be down, but "property taxes are going up all over the state as the effects of the Governor's record cuts in state aide play out. The result has been reduced services, and widespread police, firefighter and teacher layoffs."
The governor talks about education reform, but Oliver said his actions indicate that "education was not a priority for the Governor in year one either."
The speaker wants to governor to focus on jobs, specifically the 30-bill package the Legislature sent to the governor earlier this month. The governor has said he is weighing the bills' cost against the impact on the state budget.
"If Governor Christie truly cares about turning New Jersey around, he will sign this package into law and he will do it quickly," Oliver writes.

Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
The advantage of a trailerable is flexibility- if you like trying different venues every week, or the option of driveway docking, then it's viable- the downside is that you tend to be less impulsive in your sailing. Because it takes time to prep the boat, launch the boat, step the mast, etc., (and if you forget one thing at home like the rudder, gas for the outboard, the goosneck pin, etc., you're not sailing) you're less likely to simply sail on a whim when you get home from work...
which is why probably 99% of all trailer sailors end up with a mooring or slip within three seasons. So, you can cut out the middleman and sail more often now with less frustration by just getting a slip. You can satill pull your boat out and drop it on the trailer for those times you want to try someplace else by going to windward at 60 mph, and you're boat is always ready to go when you are. yeah, it's more money, but it's still cheaper than golf, divorce or couples therapy.
Rather than focusing on a specific boat, style or brand to buy, focus on your specific needs and a specific budget. then, simply find the very best boat you can find that has most of your needs within your budget.

Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
My husband and I currently live aboard. I am 40 and he is 47. before we moved aboard, we contemplated the same sort of things that you are right now. This is what we did:
Since we were not experienced with larger boats, (my husband has sailed sun fishes, like you, and I was a novice) and din't know for sure how we were going to like spending alot of time aboard one, we decided that it would be best to start out with something small that we could learn on safely without having to take any type of classes, so we got a trailerable Chrysler 22 and took it to a large lake near our house. The marina there helped us step the mast and once up, we didn't have to take it down again because we decided to store it in their dry storage area. When we pulled it out of the water and onto the trailer, we towed it to the fenced in area with the truck and left it there on the trailer until the next weekend, with the mast up. The dry storage rate was cheap, about $50/month, so it made sense. It would cost more to tow it back and forth than to store it there, plus we didn't have to worry about the mast each time. The 22 didn't have an engine or GPS, but we were on a lake, so it didn't matter. We learned how to sail on the 22 and once we decided we did, in fact, like sailing, we sold the 22 and got a Chrysler 26 and took it to the coast. It did have an engine and GPS, since we were going to do coastal cruising. We lived about 2 hours from the coast at the time and every weekend we would go down and sail around the outer banks of NC. We did this for about a month or so and once we were comfortable, we decided to take a vacation and sail the boat down the intercoastal waterway from northern NC to southern SC. We had to go thru locks and drawbridges and learned how to properly operate the VHF radio. Talk about cackling....mess up on the VHF where everyone can hear you! Anyway, the trip went well and we decided that we wanted to live aboard. However, I decided that the 26 was not quite big enough if we were going to live on it full time so we began looking for a larger boat. We had to go thru many lemons before we found our peach. I can't stress enough how important it is to get a survey done before you spend tens of thousands of dollars! That is how you are sure you really are getting a sweet deal. We found a Endeavor 32 in Charleston, SC that was in pristine condition, one owner, and already had a refit (modern wiring, plumbing, nav. equipment, etc.) and all of the equipment already with it (paper charts, emergency kits, life jackets, flags, even a dinghy with an outboard). It was a turn key deal. We didn't need to purchase one thing before we could move aboard and leave.
Since we made the decision to move aboard (after the ICW trip), we had been making arrangements to sell our business and house, so that was taken care of. I purchased the boat on October 30 and we provisioned that same day. We left for good on Halloween and haven't looked back since and that's been years ago.
However, we do know some couples that lease or rent out thier homes "just in case" they decide they ever want to live on land again and that also gives them extra money to either pay the mortgage or if the house is paid for, to live off of, and that works for them.
I hope some of this helps. We only paid $500 for the Chrysler 22 and $1,000 for the 26, so for a $1,500 investment, we were able to decide that this was the lifestyle we wanted.
I wish you guys all the best and hope to see you soon on the water!
Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
Many fruitless hours spent looking at boats later...
What do you think about trailerable vs moored? I am still waffling.
Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
Actually - the cushions don't have to be that moldy - and the outboard doesn't have to be absent. Check out this post with an example of a >$2K boat and a link to YW for boats under 30'...
Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
Thanks Smack - that is the other way to go... spend 1500 on something in rugged condition and learn to dock properly by..."feel"
I do have a brother in law who is an accomplished national racer, but he doesn't like it when I get Brie on on his tiller. (translation... we have a very different idea of what sailing should be.)
This is why we are doing circles. I get all ready to sign up for the class and then say "wait a minute - that is the price of a 27 footer (sans outboard, moldy cushions). I could spend the $$ to put a reliable screw on her and be sailing tomorrow."
I like your perspective. What to do, what to do!
Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
I'm definitely no salt - but you can do it on the cheap. I bought our C27 before really knowing anything (we had paid for 2 1-hour charters where the captain showed us a bit about sailing). Our boat was such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up. She was in pretty rough shape (and picky salts would have probably advised us to keep looking) - but she was in the water and ready to sail.
My take is...don't drop a ton of money on training, etc. Find a cheap boat that can sail - and find a friend that knows something about sailing. Take them out and let them teach you. It's not that hard.
Just make sure the conditions are right, the area is forgiving (not much to run into), and you have a reliable motor to get you out of a jam.
You're gonna have a blast.
PS - Though I personally did virtually none of the stuff on the list (and my boat would have failed most of the checks anyway), check out is thread for an exhaustive list of stuff to look for when buying a boat:
Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
Thanks for the tip Caleb!
Re: Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
Wow! You know what you DO know, and you know what you DON'T know, so you must know everything! :G
Actually, you do sound quite level headed and clear eyed in your approach to getting into sailing. That fantasy scenario of yours just might work out too.
You might meet your aging benefactors if you get out to some sailing club and join their 'informal' races as crew members. It is a good way to meet people and go sailing at the same time.
Nice 1st post!
Newbie seeks salty dog(s) for some sage advice
Wow - where to start...
* I am slowly figuring out how to navigate this forum so please be patient and redirect me if this is in the wrong place or if this is a topic that has been flogged into the ground in the past
*My wife and I are considering buying a boat. (Did I just hear some cackling?)
*I have pretty extensive dinghy sailing / windsurfing experience and a bit of keel boat crew time in, but no skippering and no systems maintenance experience at all. I am fairly handy though. (More cackling?) My wife is a complete novice.
*We are in our late 40s with 4 kids who are mostly off to college so we have some time to play. We are trying to see if sailing / cruising is going to be a small part of our lives or THE thing.
*We have the space in our yard to store a trailerable boat if we go that route.
*We have some capital to devote to this project, and the ability to pay moorage and expenses. But I work(ed) hard for that money so I want to be smart about this.
*We live in Seattle, near (but not on) lake Washington.
We are trying hard to anticipate what kind of sailing we will ACTUALLY do as opposed to the dreaming that is rampant in this endeavor, and our thought process is going around in tight circles.
Some thoughts:
Does it make sense to drop what looks like $1000 on US Sailing skipper certification? My gut is yes (safety & confidence), but this is a big chunk of the cost of some of the boats we are looking at.
Do sailing clubs make sense? Again - they seem to, but it is a lot of $$ for no ownership when there a lot of $5,000 - $10,000 sail ready boats out there. (Would you stop cackling!)
Trailerable or moored? I was first looking at a west wight potter 19 that I would store in the yard, tinker with on the trailer, launch with the small SUV we already own and keep this simple and cheapish. Then I started contemplating the ass-pain of stepping the mast each time we want to go sailing etc...and started dreaming bigger.
Partnership? We have varied interests so we are not going to be on this thing every day... I know that most boats get used VERY little so this might be a reasonable approach.
We are pretty sure that we will be "cocktail cruisers" at least for a while. Evenings on the lake with another couple or two, but as our confidence grows we are dreaming of some weekend trips around what seems to be one of the premier (yet somewhat challenging) cruising areas in the world.
Some things I know:
There are A LOT of boats for sale around here.
I have close to zero ability to assess the condition of these "sweet deals"
There are almost no "great deals" in life and certainly not in boating!
Like many hobbies, the boat itself is probably the cheapest part of this adventure. The condition of the boat and the ancillary gear, stuff and things that is included / excluded add up extremely fast.
We are in the prime position to do something extremely stupid.
Some things I don't know:
Basically every thing else!
I guess my fantasy would be to find a nice sweet older couple who have a well maintained and outfitted older boat that they are not using as much as they used to. Partner with them, learn from them, sail with them some, and maybe eventually buy them out of the boat. (Do I hear laughing again!)
Willing to sport a few rounds of drinks if you are local and willing to set me straight.
Thanks in advance - Greg & Ruth

TrueCall the Nuisance Call Screener
TrueCall – what does it do?
TrueCall enables you to get rid nuisance callers quickly and politely. It checks each call that you get before your phone even rings. Family, friends and white listed callers get straight through – but the device stops nuisance calls such as marketing, telesales, call centres, silent calls and wrong numbers.
In addition, TrueCall is easy to use straight out of the box – just plug it in. It also has an answer machine, and all options are configurable so that it will work in the way you want it to.
People you want to talk to get a "star". People you don't want to talk to get a "zap". You can also use the Whisper feature that enables you to decide whether to take the call.
For example:
Your phone will ring, and when you answer trueCall will say:
"You have a call from (for example) Sharon from Best Financial Services – Press 1 to accept the call, hash to 'zap' the caller, or just hang up to ask the caller to leave a message. Press star to accept the call and 'star' the caller".
If you press hash to "zap" Sharon, and you don't want to hear from her again, Sharon will hear the message: "I'm afraid that we're not interested in your call – please hang up now and don't call us again".
If Sharon is a cold caller then her company is legally obliged to not cold call you again. If Sharon's caller ID is available, this also automatically adds her to the "zap" list. If you don't know whether or not you want to speak to Sharon, you can just hang up. This will route Sharon through to the trueCall answering machine. If you want to listen to the message you can – and if you decide you want to speak to Sharon, pick up the phone and you will be connected.
If you start to talk to Sharon, but she starts to annoy her, you can "zap" her at any time. She will then hear the message: "I'm afraid that we're not interested in your call – please hang up now and don't call us again".
You can use trueCall's built in zap message or record your own if your prefer.

[/quote] that's all? how long have you been having these?? do they ever have locations in them? have any of them ever come true? [/quote] yep multiple dreams of tsunamis hitting tourist locations a year before the Asian tsunami. i didn't know the exact locations in the dreams, I just knew tourist locations would get hit. they actually scared me because we went to Lanzarote on Hols just after they ended in early 2004, and I was convinced an offshore volcano, that I could plainly see, was gonna collapse or something. spoilt the holiday a bit for me it did. also had loads of mega tsunami dreams, 700 feet the height of the wave that hits the UK. I've actually gone out and measured the height of the locations hit in my dreams the day after. One i didn't even know was a river valley the water came up. that is what you would expect. that one scared me a bit. sort of confirmed this WILL happen, you know? where I live would be protected from a direct hit from a tsunami, even a very large one, but the BACKWASH would flood back up the river valleys. I have only recently started having tsunami dreams again, of a wave hitting a tourist location again. In the last one I got caught on a beach, close to the hotel, and could see something was wrong with the sea, so started running back to the hotel, which was quite close, but a wave came from the other direction and I ended up running into it, and the last memory I have in the dream is of desperately trying to swim to the hotel, but the really strong current just dragging me out. also the water being VERY warm. [b]these dreams concern me, they really do, but what can I do bar tell you all about them?[/b][/quote] that is what this thread is about....to warn others if the dreams so merit a warning. But also to know that our time isn't in our hands.....it is in GOD's hands. The best place that we can be spiritually in 'under the shadow of HIS wings.' Last fall, I asked the LORD where was the safest place to be...as I was about to move and wasn't sure about the move. I immediately heard back, 'in the palm of My Hand.' Our safest place to be isn't physical, it is spiritual. [/quote]
Original Message
I thought I would start this thread since there seems to be a lot of people here that are also having dreams and visions.
It really seems as if we are living in the last days....there are signs all around us:
wierd signs with the sun
bizarre weather
strange strains of viruses
WWIII on the horizon
New World Order
have I forgotten anything??
Remember what the Word says?
'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams
Acts 2:17
Well, this really seems to be happening. It is really cool, but also very sobering.
Why would we be getting these dreams, visions and words? To sound the alarm for ourselves, our loved ones and whoever else will listen. These are warnings and wake up calls.
SO, the purpose of this thread
is for people to report all that they are seeing and hearing from GOD. That can definately include any
that has meant something to you! (EDIT: Share from a Christian perspective, please)
I'll start by giving the dream I had 2 nights ago that really, really shook me up:
I was with a bunch of people in the woods and we were indoors in a lodge-type building. We knew there was some danger, but it seemed far off and nothing to worry about. However, there was one person who was concerned and said he would be the watchman outside while we slept. No one was concerned.
Right away it was the next day. I went outside to see the watchman and he seemed very alarmed. He had a geiger counter and showed it to me. It was in the danger range. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and thought it might be a false reading. Therefore, he gave it to me and I started testing all over the place. When I went inside the lodge it registered normal, when I went anywhere outside it registed in the yellow/orange danger zone.
The next thing I saw in the distance marching down a hill was an army of cloaked/hooded entities. I say 'entities' because you could not see any faces and they sort of floated down the path. There was a sense of real evil with them and I quickly ran inside where I felt safe. Then I woke up.
The 'entities' looked like the 'grim reaper' and my first sense about them was they were angels of death.
P.S. I want this thread to be open to discussion and any questions that I can possibly answer!! Peace!

Reflections of a Virginia
country boy
How much longer will Senators Kaine and Warner and fellow Congressmen allow the gross over reach of the President and his Executive Departments?
President Obama is fond of reminding us he is a constitutional law scholar yet it appears, by his actions, he cares little for following the letter and intent of separation of powers as established in our bedrock founding document. This disdain and abuse of power by the Chief Executive has easily surpassed the imperialistic actions of Andrew Jackson and Richard Nixon. Why has the legislative branch, Democrats and Republicans, ceded their Constitutional powers, duties, and responsibilities to the Executive Branch? Senators Kaine and Warner should execute their Constitutional powers and do their elected job by reclaiming the letter and intent of the powers that the Founders placed into our Constitution and the voters entrusted in you. Let that be their legacy. The arrogance of this President and the complacent inaction of our Congress is an affront to any American with pride in our Federal system and democratic heritage. How can Senators Kaine and Warner and fellow Congressmen of either party support the behavior of the Executive Branch?
Will they take action or quietly watch while the band plays on and our ship slowly sinks? When will they hold the President accountable for obeying the law as every other American is required to do? We know our individual and national interests are best served by a government that fully operates within the designed framework established by the Constitution. We know the rights of the people are best served by elected officials that are Americans first and members of political parties second. We know that our nation would and will be better served by citizen legislators instead of professional politicians. We know no person is above the law. We know our nation is best served by independent self reliant citizens that are unencumbered by the excessive regulatory shackles of an overly powerful Executive Branch. … We that have spent our lives quietly building and defending this exceptional nation will not silently wait forever for a return to the founding principles outlined in the Constitution.

My test has data from 35gr to 90gr jacketed bullets and every commercially available cast bullet mould I could find that would fit and function in an AR15 magazine. I thought about organizing the data in a more presentable format and making it available to the public, but I've got other priorities. I will say this: the old wive's tale about lead bullets in AR15s plugging up the gas port is complete poop.Quote:
I would *love* to see that data. I've seen two other tests that show no measurable differences between the two with 55gr and 62gr bullets. If you have something proving the contrary, I would love to publish it for others to see.
Depends on the ammunition used and how much coffee I had that morning.Quote:
At what range do you see the shift of POI/POA? 300 yards? 400 yards? 500 yards?
That may be the case in some, but I've been on ranges where the castle nut has loosened. Your quoted torque spec unit is wrong. That was a misprint in the TM and was later corrected.Quote:
I suspect your customers have loosened their castle nuts. I've never seen a properly seated nut back off -- ever. None of my rifles have them staked these days because I remove the staking to swap stocks out and I've never seen one back off. If it did, I would restake it. At 40 inch/lbs of torque it's not coming off.
I thoroughly inspect each weapon I bring in before it's put on the shelf for sale. I wouldn't expect anything less from a dealer I buy a firearm from.Quote:
...and you checked every one for slight ledges. Uh-huh. I'm having a hard time swallowing that particular pill.
Brownells sells a lot of tools that aren't necessary for gunsmithing jobs. Lee Precision also sells trimming tools for pistol brass, though it is entirely unnecessary. Brownells main objective is to make a profit by selling tools and equipment for gunsmiths. Key word being profit. If they can sell something and make money doing it, they will. It doesn't have to be necessary, but that's the job of the marketing department.Quote:
I guess that's why Brownells sells this tool, because it's only used by poor assemblers? Curious.
AR-15/M16/AR-STYLE .308 GAS TUBE WRENCH | Brownells
So they modified a set of pliers to do the same thing, I fail to see the issue here.
What do I use to install or remove the gas tube on ARs? My hands. Never ruined a gas tube.
Colt 6920 street price is $1,050 (though I sell them for $999). There's a $251 difference between a quality weapon and a hobby weapon. Would you rather buy a weapon from the same company that make/made the US military's weapons 50+ years or from a company doing it for half that time for the civilian world?Quote:
I'm quite familiar with MSRP. I also know that Windham rifles sell for $799 and Colts sell for $1,100 on the street, a concept you should be acutely aware of being "in the business".
I'll give you that. I apologize for jumping your stuff about that. I don't like being accused of something not factual.Quote:
I didn't lie, I made a mistake given the nearly verbatim post you made both in content and in structure to a M4C post. That post was made by a guy who has been following me from M4C to other forums and my channel making the same comments. For me to *lie* I would have to tell an untruth intentionally, at least according to the dictionary.
I apologize if the M4C poster isn't you.

What the Acer executive said about Finnish handset manufacturer Nokia is quite interesting, though. According to Burnes, Nokia is being held back by having to build their own brand as well as Windows Phone. He goes on to add that if Nokia decided to drop Windows Phone for Android, the OEM would be "dangerous" in the Android market.
Moving back to Acer's decision to stick with Android for now, Burnes says that Acer is not happy with the idea of having users pay for apps on Windows Phone that they can get for free on Android. But an Acer branded Windows Phone model will eventually come. "We're expecting Microsoft to do some more consumer-related advertising about its OS, I think as the pull comes, we'll deploy with the handsets because the OS is good," said Burnes.

Censorship or Common Sense? Protests Spark First Amendment Debate
Published December 7th, 2011
Loading Video...
It's a fine line and they're walking it. Protesters in Gainesville have rules for their freedom of speech...sparking a First Amendment debate with a lot of gray area.
On Monday, three people protesting biomass outside of Gainesville Regional Utilities headquarters were given trespass warnings. Occupy Gainesville protesters have been jockeying with similar regulations for weeks.
So are these rules censorship or common sense? We asked an expert.
There have been no recent incidents with Occupy Gainesville protesters and police. The three GRU protesters say they are talking to a First Amendment Attorney about their options.

Suave Everlasting Sunshine
Smells so good!!! I was looking for a slightly thicker, less runny, better smelling alternative to VO5, and I found it! And I think my hair likes it even better because no proteins :-) It plays nice with KCKT, which I've been using as a leave-in, then blasting cold water over it. I used to think my hair was too fine for leave-ins and that it would make it too producty, but it just sucks it up, maybe it was thirsty and I never realized it ;-) Happy happy! Highly reccommend both of these products: Everlasting Sunshine and Kinky Curly Knot Today :-) Also, the smell of Everlasting Sunshine LASTS. It still smells beautiful on day 2 hair :-))
Love this conditioner. I always keep 3 or 4 bottles of this and Coconut in the cupboard. Great stuff and smells fab.
I totally agree, I absolutely adore Everlasting Sunshine! It's so fantastic!!!! I was running VERY low on time this morning, so in the shower I recalled your thread and just co-washed w/ Suave ES and then used some KCKT as my leave in. Wow, wow, wow, you are right, they play beautifully together!!
I'm addicted to that stuff. I have five bottles stashed away. My hair smells, looks, and feels beautiful.
STAPLE product over here.
Yay I'm so glad!!! I tried Deva No-Poo as the suggestion of my hair stylist, and I actually love it. Always thought it would be too thick, and the lack of lather scared me haha. But I must say it's the only thing that's ever given me 3 day hair, much less 2 day hair! Wooo! After that I thought I should try One Condition as well, and I love that too. I still have the ES, of course, and I use that to mix things up, especially when I start to miss the fragrance :-)) The thing about ES is I feel like my hair looks better day one, but I tried using it with the No Poo to see if I could get multiple days w/o washing instead of the One Condition, but I don't feel like it plays as well with the No Poo :-( Boo. I use it with the Low-Poo about 1x/wk to clarify/detox (I start to miss the lather of the Low-Poo and the smell of the ES lol).
I'm curious to know if it's similar to Suave naturals refreshing waterfall mist conditioner. I just purchased this after looking for a protein/silicone free conditioner that I could buy at a local store. I'm loving this stuff. It's great as a 2nd day styler. It works wonderfully with Aubrey organics Mandarin Magic!!!! And I'm still amazed at the $1 price!!!! And it smells oh so good!
Sent from my Droid Razr using CurlTalk App
3B Live Curly Live Free Analysis: Texture = Medium Porosity = Normal Elasticity = Normal
I just found this stuff yesterday as I was looking for a base conditioner to add a bunch of oils and butters to and use as a deep conditioner to beat some moisture into my hair. Somehow I came home with the shampoo and had to go back out and get the conditioner lol. I used the shampoo to clarify and then used the now beefed up conditioner after. It may have been all the junk I added, but there wasn't much trouble getting a comb through it...I'm letting it sit now and I'm hoping for great results...I ended up mixing too much of the deep conditioner for the bottle I had, so I just added it back to the plain conditioner so maybe it'll work for a cowash or leave-in. I kinda like the smell; I was intending to get the Coconut, but the smell was kinda womp-womp. It's a fruity-vanilla thing, but it doesn't come off as candy or pastry-like to me...I don't get down with smelling like a pop-tart...that's where I draw the line...LOL

But the stories she heard and skills she learned there inspired her to quit her job at a bank and pursue her dream of opening a fashion business. She used her savings to buy two sewing machines and rent workshop space, and she set up a business making leather bags and accessories. Today, her companyWazawazi (a combination of two Swahili words meaning "open mindedness") employs 12 people at a fair wage, exports to countries around the world, and continues to grow.

Lupita Nyong'o, Trevor Noah, their meaningful roles
The most intriguing stars seem to appear from out of nowhere.
Take Lupita Nyong'o, the Mexican-Kenyan actress who had not even graduated from Yale School of Drama before landing her star-making role as Patsey in "12 Years a Slave," for which she won an Academy Award for best supporting actress in 2014.
Ms. Nyong'o, 32, has since appeared in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and lent her voice to "The Jungle Book," which will open in April. She has also acted on stage in an Off Broadway production of "Eclipsed," about the struggles of a group of women during the Liberian Civil War. ("Eclipsed" will open on Broadway next month.) Ms. Nyong'o quickly became a fashion darling, too, as the first black face of Lancôme. She has appeared on the cover of Vogue twice.

Rise of the Innovation-Oriented City
City Momentum Index
The current cycle of globalisation, urbanisation and technological advancement is leading to a shake-up of the global urban hierarchy and creating sweeping changes to the geography of commercial real estate opportunity.
In this new era of city competition, success is no longer purely about size or inherited attributes, but revolves around innovation, liveability and a city's ability to transform and adapt to a constantly changing socio-economic landscape.
JLL's City Momentum Index (CMI), now in its third year, tracks the speed of change of a city's economy and commercial real estate market, identifying those cities which have the most dynamic urban economies and are adapting most rapidly to the imperatives of technological and infrastructural transformation.
Key Highlights of 2016
Nairobi's (11th) impressive demographic and economic momentum is necessitating the creation of infrastructure and real estate to support the city's expansion as it registers among the highest levels of office and retail construction and absorption of any city in the CMI. Nairobi is also pushing to become the centre of technology in Africa, with a growing number of tech incubators and venture capital funds opening in the city. The start of construction on Konza Techno City, an innovation hub including space for higher education and technology firms, is laying a solid foundation for the future.

5 things we learnt in Cape Town
Kenya nearly made their first final since 2013, but their presence in the semi-finals was a joy to behold. Shades of Kenya's march to the final at the 2013 Wellington Sevens, Benjamin Ayimba's side were the only team to beat eventual winners South Africa. They drew with England, beat USA, and were a conversion away from taking their semi-final into extra-time. Always entertainment when they play and I hope tey'll be playing more like this all season.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I believe the fuel pump/sending unit is mounted on the top of the gas tank. You have to drop the gas tank down to replace the fuel pump I don't think there is any other way. At least thats the way it is on my 2000 focus lx.
|Ah found a how to for it HERE. This is just for replacing the pump. When you buy a new assembly it should come with instructions for putting them in the older models or at least mine did. Oh and on these instructions I didn't cut anything I just unbolted the bent the heat shield out of the way.
|You'll have to cut the tabs on the bottom of the tank off. It's not that hard, some just break them off or use a razor and cut them off. I'll see if I can find a how to for it.
|I was thinking that may have been the case but I was sure hoping it would have been something else. So now my questions is, with a fuel pump assembly from an 03-04 does it just bolt right in or do I need to mess with anything else, like different connectors and stuff?
I moved your thread to the General Technical chat area so you can get some better help.
Sounds like your fuel pump is going out to me judging from your symptoms. The early models like yours were known for doing this. You need to upgrade to the newer style pump and assembly.
Intermittent stumbling/surging issue HELP!
Hello all, first I'd like to start off by saying I've been doing a lot of lurking and searching on this forum to try and help figure out my problem. I've probably spent about 6-8 hours searching trying to find an answer, and so far haven't gotten much of anything.
So anyways onto the problem. Now I have noticed this is very intermittent, and not gear dependent meaning it happens in almost every gear but at different rpms. For example; in first gear I can rev to about 5k - 5.5k without issue most days, but second falls flat on its face at 4.5k and wont go past 5k. Third usually falls on its face at 4k and doesn't go much past that, haven't really tried fourth and fifth. Now I've search high and low and so many different things came back like the coil pack, DPFE sensor, bad cat, etc. So far I've replaced new plugs, wires, coil pack with wiring harness, DPFE sensor, fuel rail pressure sensor, and replaced the cat with header(cat was definitely bad) and in the process of doing the header I deleted the EGR with the work around where you plug the vacuum line into the hi port on the DPFE sensor and haven't gotten any codes for that. But the car still runs like general crap and isn't smooth in the slightest. I'm just trying to get the car to run correctly, but I haven't the slightest clue as to what the issue is. Now the only check engine codes I get are for the rear 02 since it's not hooked up currently(waiting on MIL eliminators atm) but I don't have a CEL for EGR since I did the work around.
I bought the car about a month ago, it's a manual that has about 176k on the clock and I have no idea how well its been maintained. I picked it up as a winter car, and just want it to run reliably with its full power, and maybe come spring time start playing with it mod wise. But for now I really just want to fix this problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Two ideas for the first problem:
FlattenAt[f[q, {{a,b}, {c,d}}],-1]
MapAt[Apply[Sequence@@#]&,f[q, {{a,b}, {c,d}}],-1]
The second problem is a little trickier, since you need to make
FindMinimum evaluate the last entry before checking that the input
is as expected. Here is one way
FindMinimum[x[1]^2 +x[2]^2, Evaluate[Sequence@@Table[{x[i],1},{i,1,2}]]]
{x[1] -> 1.332267629550187*^-15,

So are you saying that there is not such thing as a federal government per se? Then is there no such thing as a federal judge? If not, then what are they? National judges?
Have y'all seen this Ron Paul interview from 1988 ?… i have seen quite a few but had never seen this one up until today-
Damn Scott! You're taking the place over there today or something. 😀
Have you tried getting Arthur Silber on the show before? I've been reading his blog lately and it's always interesting.
Think I know what you mean. thanks m
Because the subject of our honorable public servants in local law enforcement comes up pretty frequently here, I'll float this…
Copteria, n:
A police officier's (aka cop's) criteria by which he approaches and stops/molests random persons. That is to say, it's arbitrary and completely made up like the word copteria.
I've wondered if there was a word for the "reasons" the local police pull me over while driving and stop me while walking. They always have some "reason", but they and me both know that it's false and just dreamed up as an excuse for the police stop. (Or utterly ridiculous like the chief of police stopping me because he "didn't recognize" my car.)
There apparently isn't, so I've created one. Use it. Spread it. Love it. 🙂
Scott, you're completely right about the war on drugs. And it's hugely important.
Prohibition is obviously unconstitutional.
Prohibition is obviously a violation of your natural right to self-ownership.
Prohibition is obviously a shoehorn into increasing violations of our financial and personal privacy.
Prohibition is obviously a means of selective incarceration against dissidents and blacks.
Prohibition is obviously a massive government price support for drug smugglers and kingpins
… and hence the corruption of police, judges and elected officials.
… and hence the support of terrorist organizations and black government operations
Whoever supports prohibition is either consciously evil or a damned fool.
Hey did ron paul come 2nd in Vermont ?

Microsoft on Wednesday released a lean, muscular new Internet Explorer crafted to spotlight slick websites and beat back competition from Firefox and Google in the Web browser arena.
"The browser is the stage and the websites are the stars of the show," corporate vice president of Internet Explorer Dean Hachamovitch told AFP.
"Microsoft has over a billion Windows customers," Hachamovitch said of the software giant's ubiquitous computer operating system. "We want the browsing experience on Windows to be great."
The test, or beta, version of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) made its public debut with theatrical flare at the San Francisco Design Center Concourse.
IE 9 taps into more of the processing power in computers, especially the capabilities of graphics chips that excel at seamlessly rendering videos or videogame action.
"IE9 is using more of your personal computer," Hachamovitch explained.
More than 70 partners including Amazon, Twitter, MySpace, Hulu, and Yahoo! are capitalizing on IE9 with faster, richer features at websites.
"We think that sites should be the most important part of the browser," Hachamovitch said. "This is actually the beauty of the Web. The real celebration is around the websites and what the partners have done."
While Microsoft doesn't charge separately for IE, the browser is included with Windows software and it is in the technology giant's interest to keep users happy and devoted to its products.
"As long as there is a browser built into Windows, Microsoft wants it to be as good as possible," said analyst Matt Rosoff of independent firm Directions On Microsoft. "It is also a platform play; as IE goes so goes the Windows platform."
IE has been losing ground in the browser market during the past five years, with its share of the market dropping from more than 85 percent in late 2005 to about 60 percent in August of this year, according to industry statistics.
The new browser lets people "pin" websites or applications to a tool bar at the base.
Once a website is reached, the browser seems to step out of the way and almost vanish to spotlight the content.
Alternative hip-hop band Gorillaz used IE9 to infuse its website with HTML5 audio and video as well as computer games.
Business Architects built a graceful touchscreen Japanese calligraphy program into its website combining IE9 with the latest Windows 7 operating system.
Developers at software firm Cynergy showed off a computer game in which moths flitting about the screen had to be lassoed with circles quickly drawn using the cursor.
"In IE8 you would never have had the native hardware acceleration to move pixels around the screen fast enough to do this," said Tim Sneath, who runs Windows and Web evangelism for Microsoft.
A Rough Guides travel website lets visitors flip through Flickr photos from destinations, move content about like virtual Post-It notes and dig into topics at will.
"It feels genuine," Hachamovitch said while showing off the site. "This is what developers couldn't do before."
Open-source browser Firefox had been gnawing away at IE's dominance, but that eased as a new rival arrived in the form of Chrome by Internet titan Google.
Chrome's share of the browser market has grown to slightly more than seven percent since the initial version of the software was released in September 2008, according to recent figures from Net Applications.
"Google Chrome has gone from zero to not much less than 10 percent pretty quickly," Rosoff said. "Google is one of Microsoft's archrivals and they can't like to see Google gaining share there."
Firefox remained the second most popular browser with just shy of 23 percent of the market, but its share has ebbed in recent months, according to Net Applications.
"Once people stop using IE and use a different browser they might stop and ask themselves why they are using Windows," Rosoff said. "It could be the same with developers designing websites."
Microsoft seems to have hit the mark with IE9, according to the analyst.
"It looks like they are taking a smart approach, which is to take you where you want to go and then get out of the way and fade into the background," Rosoff said.Reuse content

Ciarelli Helps U.S. To Fifth Place Finish At Pan American Games
Oct. 30, 2011
USC senior outside hitter Tony Ciarelli helped the U.S. Men's team to a fifth place finish in the 8-team Pan American Games Oct. 24-29 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The U.S. went 3-3 overall, with 5 of those matches extending to 5 sets during the 6-day competition. The U.S. beat Canada in 5 sets in the fifth place match.
Former Trojan Tri Bourne (now playing professionally in Puerto Rico) also was a member of the U.S. team, while current USC assistant Jeff Nygaard served as an assistant on the U.S. squad.
Held every four years in the year before the Olympic Games, the Pan American Games--featuring teams representing countries in North and South America--are the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games.
The U.S. opened Pan American Games play by coming back from a 12-9 deficit in the fifth set to defeat Puerto Rico, 22-25, 25-19, 20-25, 25-16, 15-13 in its opening pool play match on Oct. 24. Ciarelli had a match-high 19 kills, three blocks and two aces.
In the next U.S. match in pool play on Oct. 25, Canada fought off 11 U.S. match points in the fourth set and went on to win, 21-25, 25-23, 37-39, 35-33, 15-12 in a marathon contest. Ciarelli led the U.S. with a team-high 24 kills and five blocks.
The U.S. then became the first squad at the Pan American Games to take a set off Brazil, however it fell, 18-25, 25-17, 25-14, 25-18 on Oct. 26 in its final pool play match.
In quarterfinal play, all of Argentina's experience with five-set matches at the Pan American Games paid off on Oct. 27 as it defeated the U.S., 25-17, 19-25, 25-18, 17-25, 15-11. Ciarelli had eight kills, eight digs and three blocks.
On Oct. 28, the US had to play the first match of the day after losing a five-setter the evening before, but the U.S. defeated Venezuela, 21-25, 25-17, 21-25, 25-18, 15-13. It was the fourth five-set match of the tournament for the U.S. Ciarelli had seven kills, one block and one ace, and he scored the pivotal points in the fifth set. With the teams tied at 11-11, he scored on a kill and then an ace for a comfortable 13-11 U.S. lead.
In the fifth-place match on Oct. 29, the U.S. fought off two match points to defeat Canada, 22-25, 25-15, 25-19, 21-25, 19-17. Ciarelli had with 14 kills.

Last week at work we had school kids come in and sing carols for the office and you would be so proud...I didn't cry. (I have some strange pavlovian response to children singing live carols -- tears, everywhere. It actually has not happened in years, but I was in Borders about three weeks ago with my sister and I was crying in the store like a freaking crazy person. I was actually laughing and crying at the same time because it was so absolutely ridiculous. Think sunshine in the rain.)
Anyway, the kids who came in to sing, sang the most catchy Christmas tune I have ever heard, "Children, go where I send thee." When searching for this song on You Tube, it is apparently very popular. I guess 12 years of Catholic school does not teach you gospel music. I searched for probably 30 minutes to bring you guys the perfect rendition of this song, but this will have to do. I am sure the rest of you have already heard this.
I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Baby, it's cold outside. Especially, when they sing in the movie Elf. I also cried the first time I watched this movie. Tommy still makes fun of me. I think there is something wrong with me.
My third favorite modern Christmas song is My Grown up Christmas List. I love it when Michael Buble sings it. However, You Tube doesn't have a version with him, so Kelly Clarkson will have to do.
I also love anything Carpenter's, O Holy Night, and I have always thought the Little Drummer Boy was very sweet to play for Baby Jesus. What favorites am I missing?

The ROlympians are...
I was curious who the other ROlympians are. So I dug a little bit. Found the info on the website of the Romanian Cultural Institute in Bucharest. I can't figure out the criteria they used to pair them, but there should be one.
Angela Gheorghiu, Ruxandra Donose, Sergiu Celibidache, George Enescu, Dinu Lipatti, Alina Cojocaru and many, many others. Take a look!
In pursuit of the athletic and cultural ideals of the ancient Olympians, Evanghelie Zappa (1800-1865), a Romanian merchant and philanthropist of Greek origin, established both the Pan-hellenic Games, the precursor of the Olympics, in 1859, and the Romanian Academy.
Nourished by the veneration for the Grecian formative model, the vision of Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937), creator of the modern Olympic movement, was best encapsulated in his own words: "The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle, the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well".
With the election of Prince George Gh. Bibescu (1834-1901) as member of the International Olympic Committee in 1899, Romania became one of the first Olympic nations in the world.
With princely silent grace and endless effort, sculptor Constantin Brâncuşi (1876-1957), one of the pioneers of modern art, urged the muses to sleep and the matter to fly.
George A. Plagino (1878-1948), sports shooter in Paris in 1900, is the first Romanian to ever participate in the Olympic Games.
International glory, won early in his life, did not preclude prolific musician George Enescu (1881-1955) from setting himself the most demanding moral and artistic targets.
The bronze medal won in Paris in 1924 by the rugby team, which included Dumitru Armăşel, Ion Gârleşteanu, Soare Sterian, Gheorghe Benţia and Mircea Stroescu, was Romania's first Olympic distinction.
"The Generation of 1927", formed by brilliant young writers and philosophers such as Mircea Eliade, Emil Cioran, Petru Comarnescu, Mihail Sebastian, Mihail Polihroniade, Alexandru Cristian-Tell, Constantin Noica, Eugen Jebeleanu, Zaharia Stancu, Haig Acterian, did not make a less impetuous entrance in Romanian, and later world culture.
At the 1936 Munich Games, against all odds, Henri Rang (1902-1946) won the first Romanian Olympic silver medal for individual showjumping, riding his horse Delfis.
Rather than jumping fences, the DADA movement founder Tristan Tzara (1896-1963) defiantly cavalcaded against taboos and aesthetics, putting on a show of iconoclastic avant-garde art.
Before losing his sight, sports shooter Iosif Sârbu (1925-1964) became the first Romanian to win an Olympic gold medal, in Helsinki, in 1952.
The genius of Dinu Lipatti (1917-1950), a pianist of sublime purity and a refined composer, was muted by death at a young age.
In Melbourne in 1956, Nicolae Linca (1929-2008) courageously fought with a serious injury to his right hand, to become Romania's first Olympic boxing champion.
In every page he wrote, on the heights of despair, the philosopher Emil Cioran (1911-1995) punched with the same skill and devastating effect.
Despite competing with a sprained ankle, daring Leon Rotman (b.1934) won the first two Romanian Olympic gold medals for canoeing, at Melbourne in 1956.
Jean Negulescu (1900-1993), the film director who taught the world How to marry a millionaire, is the only Romanian to have found gold in Hollywood.
Dumitru Pârvulescu (1933-2007), nicknamed Little Hercules, was Romania's first Greco-Roman wrestling Olympic champion.
Trained as a mathematician, famous conductor Sergiu Celibidache (1912-1996) saw music as a religious experience and rejected recordings as precarious in comparison to live performances.
Double Olympic champion Iolanda Balaş (b. 1936) dominated the high-jump world competitions for almost a decade, breaking 14 records.
Novelist Gabriela Adameşteanu (b.1942) aimed high with her unforgiving depictions of banal monsters that formed the backbone of the Communist social experiment.
Competing at six Olympic Games, Lia Manoliu (1932-1998) was Romania's most enduring Olympian. In 1974, UNESCO acknowledged her commitment to the ideals of fair and loyal competition by awarding her the prestigious Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play Trophy.
From her Parisian exile imposed by the Communists, no less tenacious Monica Lovinescu (1923-2008), media broadcaster and literary critic, fought and won all the battles to unchain the imprisoned minds of her fellow Romanians.
Mihaela Peneş (b.1947) was only 17 years old when she became the Olympic javelin champion in Tokyo, in 1964.
Poet Ileana Mălăncioiu (b.1940), "an Antigone with the soul of an Electra", found her way to the truth of life by piercing the deceitful veils of reality.
Viorica Viscopoleanu (b. 1939) broke the Olympic record and emerged as the victor at long jump in Mexico, in 1968.
Lena Constante (1909-2005), visual artist and essayist, left an inestimable account of the inferno of Stalinist detention, which she lived through with dignity and stoicism.
Ionel Drâmbă (1942-2006) fended off all his competitors and won the first gold medal in fencing for Romania, at the Mexico Olimpics, in 1968.
For Victor Brauner (1903-1966), a surrealist painter of Romanian-Jewish descent, art, rooted in the deepest apprehension, was the only meaningful reality: "Painting is life, the real life, my life."
With their bronze medal for bobsleigh, Ion Panţuru (b.1934) and Nicolae Neagoe (b.1941) are the only Romanians victorious at the Winter Olympics.
One of the greatest moral consciences of the 20th century, writer Mihail Sebastian (1907-1945), a consummate and passionate skier, bitterly witnessed his friends descent into the abysses of moral abandon.
In Munich in 1972, colossal Nicolae Martinescu (b.1940) burst into tears at the news that he was the new Olympic champion of Greco-Roman wrestling, the heavyweight class.
Protean talent, Liviu Ciulei (1923-2011), one of the most influential theatre directors of the 20th century, is also the first Romanian to have received a directing prize in Cannes, in 1965.
His lightening acceleration brought sprint canoer Vasile Dâba (b.1954) a plethora of medals, including the Olympic gold in Montreal, in 1976.
Intransigent and uncompromising, Lucian Pintilie (b.1933), the greatest Romanian film director of all times, has revealed the pervasive evil of a wounded society.
Nadia Comăneci (b.1961), the undisputed queen of Romanian Olympic history, redefined perfection and grace in gymnastics.
Triumphant on the most important opera stages, soprano Angela Gheorghiu (b.1965) is now the best known Romanian living artist in the world.
Gheorghe Berceanu (b.1949) transcended his diminutive constitution and won the gold for Greco-Roman wrestling, light flyweight class, in Munich, in 1972.
Novelist and essayist Norman Manea (b. 1936) has wrestled with the hypocrisy and the brutality of dictatorships, succeeding to break up the pinfall with each new book he published.
Nowhere did Corneliu Ion (b.1951) perform better than in Moscow in 1980, where his artful shots brought him the gold medal for rapid-fire pistol.
Paul Neagu (1938-2004), Romanian-British artist and professor, spent all his life exploring the metaphysical dimension of sculpture. According to Anish Kapoor: "His intellectual clarity was refreshing in an era when 'making' seemed to be more important than thinking."
A son of the magic Danube Delta, "Admiral" Ivan Patzaichin (b.1949), multiple Olympic champion, reigned the world's canoeing competitions for decades.
Theatre director Andrei Şerban (b.1943) has won world-wide praise for his daring and innovative interpretations of classical works on the stage.
Toma Simionov (b.1955) teamed up with Ivan Patzaichin to conquer the liquid circuits of the Olympic Games for many years.
Elusive and profound, Ion Grigorescu (b.1945) has transformed his body into the most revealing and unsettling artistic tool.
With her rich crop of gold medals, Ecaterina Szabo (b.1967) made history as one of the most awarded Romanian gymnasts.
A versatile writer, mastering with equal ease all literary genres, Mircea Cărtărescu (b.1956) has become the towering figure of Romanian letters in the recent past.
Multiple weightlifting champion Nicu Vlad (b.1963) has inspired a whole generation of gifted athletes competing under his guidance.
With his films, Cristi Puiu (b.1967) has single-handedly reinvented Romanian cinema and has shown the way for a generation of award-winning Romanian film-makers.
Greco-Roman wrestler Vasile Andrei (b.1955) found gold in California, in 1984.
Admired for his grandiose and colorful style, theatre director Silviu Purcărete (b.1950) has marked the world stage with his flamboyant take on reality.
Her famed speed and tactical brilliance helped Doina Melinte (b.1956) brake record after record and win the gold medal at the Los Angeles Olympics, in 1984.
Mezzosoprano Ruxandra Donose's superb voice and dazzling stage presence have brought the audiences of the greatest musical theatres in the world at her feet.
Beautiful and dangerous, Laura Badea (b.1970) is the first Romanian female fencer to win an Olympic gold medal, in Atlanta, in 1996.
In his novels, which have been translated all over the world, Filip Florian (b.1968) skilfully duels with the shadows of Romania's past.
In praise of the unique style of Marius Urzică (b.1975), multiple Olympic champion, some of the most acrobatic elements on pommel horse and parallel bars bear his name.
Always vigilant and sharp, the drawings of Dan Perjovschi (b.1961) humorously capture the essence and immediacy of a wide variety of contemporary moral, social, and political subjects.
Triumphant at Sydney in 2000, Diana Mocanu (n.1984) was the first Romanian to win a gold medal at swimming.

Having the musketeers as role models, Mihai Covaliu (b. 1977) took home a gold medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
For his disturbing depiction of young people's life in the terminal phase of the Communist regime, Cristian Mungiu (b. 1968) has received the greatest accolades ever to grace a Romanian film-maker.
After a breathtaking race, Constantina Diță Tomescu (b. 1970) brought Romania the first victory at the marathon, winning gold in Beijing, in 2008.
With Herta Müller (b.1953), the Nobel Prize for literature was awarded to an author born in and haunted by the memory of communist Romania, who chose to disclose the moral abysses of political repression.

Google's next poster child for Android Ice Cream Sandwich is to indeed sport a 720x1280 pixels 4.5" screen, which should be a sight unseen, considering the Super AMOLED technology. Utlization of the PenTile matrix means details won't be as distinct as they would be with a normal RGB one, but there will be more than enough pixel density to compensate.
The Korean source also regurgitated the rest of the info we've already heard about the Nexus Prime, like a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and October release. Considering that all these numerous sources point to Samsung as the manufacturer of Google's next reference Android phone, it will be interesting to see how the rumored powerful TI OMAP 4460 chipset is implemented.
Another interesting tidbit is that the Korean SK Telecom allegedly also plans to launch the Nexus Prime in its portfolio, which seemingly confirms the rumor that the phone might come to multiple carriers, instead of the usual boutique availability.

The Club Fix Mission
The main purpose of The Club Fix is to educate golfers about equipment and to help them find what works best for their swing. We help golfers of all levels achieve thier maximum performance by fitting them to the clubs that match their swing. Too many golfers try to fit their swing to their clubs. We use the latest and best technology provided by Trackman Golf to measure every aspect of the golf swing and flight of the golf ball. Using this technology and providing thousands of club head and shaft combinations from all the leading manufacturers in the world allows us to be exact and unbiased in determining which equipment works best for each golfer…
The custom club building service we provide is the most important aspect of our company. Buying clubs "off the rack" will almost never help a golfer get the proper equipment. After testing thousands of golf clubs from leading manufacturers (we test shaft flex, kick point, torque, loft, lie angle, length, and face angle), we have found that only 1 of every 10 golf clubs is actually what it is labeled to be. The other 9 clubs do not match the specs that are painted or engraved on them. This means that most golf shafts and club heads perform differently than they advertise. These tests allow us to identify the exact specs of each golf club. We then take the care to build each club to match the produced results from the fitting sessions. We are dedicated to providing the most accurate information and the best results for every golfer.
The Club Fix Advantage
There is no question that custom fit golf clubs will improve your game. Here at The Club Fix we are confident that with our new technology, nobody can fit you better. Custom fit golf clubs make the game easier to play because the golf clubs are built to your playing style and ability.
• Advanced players are able to tweak their golf game with custom built and fitted golf clubs.
• Average golfers will benefit because custom golf clubs will allow them to consistently hit the ball more solidly, with the proper direction, distance control, and proper trajectory.
• For beginners, custom golf clubs suited to their skill level have increased playability, providing a measure of confidence from which players can better learn to play the game.
You can get the most appropriate setup for your skill level, playing characteristics, gender and age. You will love golf even more after playing with a custom set of clubs. With clubs that fit you properly you will have confidence with every club in your bag. With consistent ball striking, properly fitted custom golf clubs will bring about noticeable improvement in your golf game.
Bronson Wright: Founder & CEO
Bronson accepted a sponsorship from Bridgestone Golf while playing on the mini tours in Southern California. A short time later he was asked to join the Bridgestone Golf Research and Development team in Orange County, CA. Working first hand with the Chief Club Engineer/Designer, Mike Nguyen, he learned the art of designing and building clubs and balls. He was also the head of the testing and development team. This provided an extensive knowledge of the technology and performance of golf club heads and shafts as he tested hundreds of shaft and head combinations.
He has worked personally with some of the top players on the PGA, Nationwide, Champions, LPGA, and other professional tours… Fred Couples, Stuart Appleby, Charles Howell III, Will Mackenzie, Brandt Snedeker, Nick Price, and more. LPGA Tour players include Paula Creamer and Ai Miyazato. Many of the top players on the collegiate level have also benefitted from his expertise in club fitting and building. His experience includes over 1000 fittings for professional and amateur golfers. This experience and his abilities allow him to give golfers at all levels the best education on golf equipment. He strongly believes that the right equipment can help ANY golfer to play better and more fully enjoy the game of golf.

Plan for low upkeep
"Out back, our top priority was a no-maintenance exterior," says King. He clad the addition in white cedar shingles knowing they would turn a silvery gray. "We didn't paint any of it. If you paint it, you have to maintain it," he says, noting they might eventually go all-shingles out front too. He also used highly durable copper gutters.

1932 National Duolian in Frosted Grey/Green Duco in a no reserve auction. Seller says it is either a '31 or '32 so we'll just call it a '32. Seller notes the neck was reset at some point and the fretboard and the frets are newer. Seller adds the tuners are original and the biscuit and the cone appear to be original. We like the 12 frets clear of the body. Nice looking guitar. Ships with a cheap non-original case. Cool.

My dog has had a pink wart-like thing on her eyebrow above her left eye.
It has been slowly growing, and is very prominent now. When we touch it even just a light touch, she whimpers.
Should i be worried? She is a 10 month old pure bred springer spaniel

Chase had a small bump on the corner of her eye at the beginning of January. When I noticed the bump it was the size of a small pea. I took her to the vet and was told not to worry because it was so small and it didn't seem to be bothering her. He said to watch it, and if it got any bigger to bring her back in.
If your dog has a growth you should ALWAYS see a vet about it. Always. Especially since it's continuously growing, and because it hurts her.
Luckily in our situation it turned out to be nothing and it was gone within a couple of days. But when she developed another lump six weeks later (this time on her hindquarters) we were right back at the vet because you just never know.
Please take your girl to the vet.

Hot Fuzz
Tongue-in-cheek Brit action flick, conceived by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg (who had previously collaborated with Bill on Spaced, and Is it Bill Bailey?). Featuring a host of British comedy talent, this film would of course not have been complete without Bill in the role of the West Country accented, grumpy desk sergeant(s), with a penchant for Iain Banks novels.
Official Website | Guardian Review
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Adaptation of Douglas Adam's cult sci-fi novel directed by Garth Jennings with an all star cast including Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Bill Nighy, Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman. Bill lends his voice to the iconic role of a Sperm Whale who is suddenly catapulted into existence above a large planet and must come to terms with his life in the short time before he reaches the surface.
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy Website | IMDB (Hitchhiker's Guide)
Mini Adverts
A series of adverts narrated by Bill with the tagline "It's a Mini adventure". Mostly shown in cinemas, although some made it to television. The adverts Zombies, Frying Pan, Warning, Martians, Ad Hop, Backwards and Lost City all featured Bill's sardonic tones.
Saving Grace
British comedy about a middle-aged woman who grows cannabis to pay off the debts her dead husband left behind. Written by Craig Ferguson & Mark Crowby, and directed by Nigel Cole, it also stars Craig Ferguson, Brenda Blethyn and Martin Clunes.

Kesha Reveals Cover of Her New Book, My Crazy Beautiful Life
Posted on October 16, 2012
Singer-songwriter Kesha has released the cover art for her book, My Crazy Beautiful Life, which arrives in stores on November 20, 2012 Kesha also has a new album, Warrior, coming out in December. The book follows Kesha Rose Sebert's journey from a terrible waitress in L.A. to the pop singer known as Ke$ha. Kesha describes herself as the very worst waitress in Los Angeles. The transition from awful waitress to popstar does sound interesting. We think she could have found a better photo for the book cover.
Here is how Kesha describers her book: "In less than three years, I've gone from being the worst waitress in LA to living out my childhood dreams of singing my songs to people all over the world. Sometimes, it feels as if the last few years have encompassed a few decades... You might have heard my voice on the radio, seen me onstage and on the red carpet, or in a music video, but that's only a part of the story. In these pages, I'm revealing a more complete picture of what my life is really like. It's not all glamorous and it's not all pretty, but it's all real... I want you to come on a whirlwind journey with an all-access pass to My Crazy Beautiful Life."
