- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
This is very difficult to do on your own. If you do not have the assistance of a animal welfare organization, find one in your area and ask them for help. If you can find the kittens, you can place them on a blanket or towel inside a trap. Mom will come to get them. But this must be done under constant surveillance. Under no circumstances should the kittens be place inside a humane trap and then left by themselves. If the kittens are mobile, this should not be done and cat food should be used instead. Trapping a mother who is protecting her babies can be dangerous and if you don't know what you're doing, even though you may be well intentioned, she could very seriously injure you. Enlist the aid of people who have experience. Good luck.

Deep Thoughts
- I love that most shirts are now made without tags. What an innovation! There is no greater nuisance in the world than the itch created by an annoying tag on the back of one's neck.
- It just took about 32 attempts to spell something closely resembling 'nuisance' for spell-check to fix for me.
- I believe that the bargain bins/ shelves in front of bookstores are urging people to steal the books from them. --- Why else would they be outside of the store?
- I just started reading Infinite Jest ... and I generally (and by generally I mean, never) don't read big books ... this one resembles a phone book. I hope to finish it one day.
- I am so ready for the Spring ... enough with the cold weather.
- Finger knitting is fun.
- I am addicted to American Idol.
- John McCain looks like a grumpy old man ... and he looks like he could die at any moment.
- I have been working on being less jaded.
- I do not think I am making progress.

Serenity in Tennessee
Lately I have been fed up with life, so this past weekend I fled to Tennessee to hang out with Gavin. I had an awesome time. Knoxville provides such a contrast to the hustle and bustle of Fairfax. Highlights included:
- Cheap brews
- Seeing the white trash of America at the place where Gav got a haircut
- Meeting Gavin's Tennessee friends (they don't fall into the white trash of America category)
- Getting a tee shirt with a smiling taco on it from the thrift store
- The weather! It was pretty much in the 60's and sunny the entire time I was there
- The tour of the ghetto, and then the tour of the upper class parts of town
- Being away from the TV and internet the entire weekend … talk about detox
- Knitting
- Developing the stoplight theory for my friends: Green means we're cool; Yellow - watch yourself; Red - it's over
- The used bookstore --- it's basically the Mecca for all used bookstores
- Reading about how the Japs feel about my personality

Reading Rainbow
I started a list (haha, who would have thought?) back in November about things I wanted to accomplish during my 25th year in this crazy world --- I keep tinkering with it, hence why I have not gone public with it. At this rate by the time I am done with it I will be 26. Anyway, one of the things on the list is to keep a detailed log about the books I read this year ... and thanks to an idea from CollegeGrad, also track the number of pages I am conquering. You can catch the tally to the right. Below are the 4 books I have read so far ... I have been very pleased with all of them.

Bizarre Lunch Encounter
- I was getting out of my car to grab lunch today, when I was almost hit by a pimped out, rimmed out, tinted window-ed out flashy BMW.
- As I scowled at the tinted glass, I was able to clearly hear, "I'm a gangsta, I'm a gangsta, I'm a gangsta" blaring from the stereo.
- The thug mobile parked, and I was surprised to see a small 16ish looking Asian kid, with perfectly trimmed eyebrows hop out ... check that, roll out.
- Then he went to Starbucks.
- Since when do gangsters drive BMW's (clearly paid for by Mom and Dad) and drink Starbuck's? --- Only in NOVA.

Quotes From a Dumb Roommate
Just to follow up with my previous rant about my roommate that is driving me nuts, I decided to compile a list of dumb/ obnoxious/ incorrect claims she has made/ makes constantly about her boyfriend. Also, when you read the quotes (I swear I'm not making them up) --- the statements are equivalent to that of an obnoxious 5 year old shouting at you ... repeatedly.
- Disclaimer: She lies about how long they have been dating
- Disclaimer: they've been dating approx. 4 months Disclaimer: She lies about the fact they the met/ found each other on an online dating service
- Disclaimer: He hates beer, and only drinks bitch drinks ... I'm talking strawberry daiquiris and appletini's
- Disclaimer: They only smoke when they drink … what are you, 17?
- Disclaimer: They are both dumb
- "I want to be engaged just so I can wear an engagement ring"
- "He buys good gifts, I wonder what he's getting me for Christmas"
- "My laptop sucks, maybe he'll buy me a new one for Christmas"
- "I found the perfect engagement ring, it is $30,000"
- "If I marry him, I'll be rich!"
- "He's skinny!" ... this is true, he is extremely skinny and equally gross ... he is also about 1/4 of the size of her
- "He's cute!" ... this statement could not be further (farther?) from the truth ... he is 23 and resembles a frail old man ... he has dark circles around his eyes, has horrible posture and looks at the ground all the time ... I think a 5th grader could take him down
- -- basically she constantly references that he is 'cute' and that has money ... this is the extent of their relationship ... BARF.

Roommate Rant
As much as I enjoy living with one of my roommates, I equally despise living with the other one. I do acknowledge things could be worse, but whatever. I think we could hang out and get along great if we did not live together ... but living with her is pure torture. I have had amazing luck with roommates in the past ... I guess we all have to pay our dues with the duds.
- She has never met a door she can't slam. It doesn't matter the time of day, the weather, her mood ... every door she touches, she slams - including, but not limited to the following:
bedroom door
front door
closet door
bathroom door
shower door
refrigerator/ freezer
kitchen cabinets
dish washer
washing marching
- She can't walk without stomping
- She leaves lights on constantly
- She can't manage to turn off (1) the TV (2) the cable box and (3) the speakers. Usually, you can bet on her leaving at least one of them on
- Usually if you get home, and she's been there it looks as if she's evacuated a burning building
--- there will be lights on, kitchen cabinets open, and dishes on the counter
- When she is around, the TV is on, and by on I mean it is at max volume; who cares if nobody is watching it.
- I have witnessed her stay on the couch for nearly 3 days ... doing nothing but sleeping, watching TV, and eating
- She eats all the time
- She usually leaves a trail of dirty dishes
- She also hoards them in her room
- She is ridiculously over dramatic
- She lies
- She is quite possibly the most inconsiderate person I have ever met
- She'll stay up all night doing nothing ... except making noise
- She is her own biggest fan - surprise, surprise
- If she's on her cell phone, she's yelling
- She and her crony boyfriend spend more time in the bathroom (separately, thank goodness) than anyone I have ever met in my life
- Speaking of bathrooms, she has bought toilet paper once since we moved in back in August
- Did I mention she stomps?
- And tonight, she broke the garbage disposal
- She is also quite dense

Hallmark, HallWrong
Unfortunately I had to go to Hallmark the other day to buy a card. I was overwhelmed with the amounts of dumb card categories. Whatever happened to the basics? Card topics included:

- Death of a pet
- Congratulations on becoming a minister
- Encouragement for a recent divorce
- (they should make congratulations for your recent divorce … you know, look on the bright side)
- Support for a recent diet

Internally, Samsung has the done the typically thorough job it normally does. At the heart of it all is an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 running at 2.26GHz with a 1,066MHz front side bus and 3MB L2 Cache. This is backed by 3GB of 1,066MHz DDR3 RAM and a 5,400rpm 250GB SATA hard drive. Graphics, meanwhile, are provided by an nVidia 9300M GS with 256MB of memory. This offers enough graphical grunt to run TrackMania Nations Forever at medium detail at around 40 frames per second. Even adding a couple of samples of anti-aliasing didn't make the frame rate dip below 30, so World of Warcraft, The Sims or Spore would pose no problems, nor would Football Manager 2009 for that matter.
Besides these basics you'll find all the usual stocking fillers, including Draft-N Wi-Fi courtesy of Intel, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR. There's also TPM 1.2 (Trusted Platform Module) and this is paired with a fingerprint reader to offer secure authentication and encryption.
This, combined with the docking station port on the underside of the machine, means the X460 has some business credentials; making it ideal for the executive, entrepreneur or home worker who fancies something a little more interesting than your regular business notebook.
Even if you don't use a docking station the X460 shouldn't let you down. There are three USB ports, one on the left, one on the right and one on the back, while all the basics, like a 34mm ExpressCard slot, VGA, headphone and microphone ports, are present.
On the front there's a 7-in-1 memory card reader, supporting MemoryStick, MemoryStick Pro, SD, SDHC, MMC, MMC Plus and xD card formats, while an HDMI port can be found at the back. As with the X360 the lack of an e-SATA port is a little disappointing, but we're not about to pillory it just for that; just gently growl our disapproval…grrrrr.
Perhaps most importantly there's also an optical drive in the X460, making it an obvious port of call if you fancied an X360 but couldn't quite reconcile yourself to the loss of an integrated DVD drive. We should add, too, that it's a very well integrated one. On some thin and light machines the optical drive can wobble around like it's not really meant to be there, but there are no such problems on the X460. Apart from this it's a pretty ordinary DVD Re-writer, though it does have LightScribe label burning support.

You Are Enough
If I were to ask a room full of 100 people to complete this simple fill-in-the-blank, "I am not ____ enough" I can guarantee that every single person would have it filled out. Whether the answer would be I'm not thin enough, or I'm not smart enough or I'm not nice enough—every single person would fill it out in some way. This problem stems from one simple issue in our society: the constant reminder that we are not enough.
Whether society tells us that we are not pretty enough or thin enough or smart enough, society endlessly reminds us that there is some essential piece of the puzzle that each one of us is missing. Society then goes further by instructing us to find that piece, whether we have to spend tons of money trying to buy the thing we are missing or simply endlessly work towards an unachievable goal, we must fulfill that missing element. This whole notion is not only mind boggling, but incredibly worrisome.
The very notion that we somehow don't add up to be enough is the first problem. If we are told we are not enough in some way, we will believe it. Not only will we believe it, but we will also become fixated with it. This fixation can turn into an obsession and this obsession just leads to unhappiness. Now I'm not trying to tell you to not work towards bettering yourself, because I definitely try doing that every single day. However, you need to first, and foremost, appreciate who you are and learn to love yourself for everything you are at this very moment before you can take a step in the direction of becoming a better you. You are enough as you are right in this moment.
You can note an area you need improvement on, but you cannot degrade yourself by waking up every morning fixed in the belief that you are lacking in some way. Instead of doing that, wake up every morning and go to sleep every night reminding yourself that you ARE enough. You are not only enough, but you are worthy of love, praise and happiness. Maybe we are missing a piece, but maybe the missing piece is just simply this: we are missing the piece that tells us that we are enough just as we are, that we can accept ourselves as who we are right in this moment, that there may be no missing puzzle piece after all.

For those of you in the Eurozone or a DVB-T country, the Tizi Go is a tempting mobile television solution
In the U.S. mobile terrestrial television pretty much doesn't exist. A number of other countries, particularly South Korea and Japan, have enjoyed true live mobile television for a decade. Here in the U.S., until recently, we've been stuck with proprietary non-live content solutions (I hate you VCAST). Well, iPad users in Europe now have a truly mobile DVB-T television solution.
Tizi Go is the non-Wi-Fi version of the Tizi television transmitter developed by Munich bases company Equinox. The Tizi Go is a simple dongle that attached to the dock connector of the iPad and is capable of receiving over the air DVB-T signals when used with the tizi.tv app.
The tizi.tv app allows users to pause, record, and rewind live television. Recordings can even be transferred to iTunes when connected to your PC. The app also has an electronic program schedule that doesn't require an internet connection, all the information is gathered from the DVB-T signal.
The Tizi Go does require a small battery to operate, but a micro USB cable is included to charge the small Lithium-ion battery inside. The device will be available internationally from Belkin, but as it stands would be useless stateside as the U.S. doesn't use the DVB-T standard to broadcast over the air television. Paired with the tizi.tv app, the price of 99 Euros doesn't seem too crazy.
U.S. users who want mobile television are stuck with proprietary apps from their cable/satellite provider (all only work over Wi-Fi) or setting up a Slingbox. Not bad solutions, but not plug and play or truly mobile like the Tizi Go.

You're OK. The "short barrel" Gold Dots use a different powder load that burns more completely in short barrels, but they give up nothing in longer barrels. If you're a "numbers person" like I am, you can confirm this by Googling "Ballistics by the Inch". Your Gold Dot SB ammo was compared with 10 other .40 S&W loads, and its performance is consistent with the others.
If there indeed is a .40 pistol out there with a two-inch barrel, if you compared the standard GD with the "Short Barrel" load, you would likely see more muzzle flash from the standard load, and a slightly lower velocity than the SB load.
Gold Dots in any formulation are good stuff. Go forth in peace and once you verify this ammo's function in your gun, carry it with confidence.

Book Review: You can draw Star Wars
So Bonnie Burton (of StarWars.com fame) put together her first Star Wars book (although not her first book) on how to draw Star Wars called You Can Draw Star Wars. It's from a series called "You can draw…". So I decided to see if the claim held true.
Y'see. I can't draw. I'm fairly limited to stick fingers or flowers. (Really ugly flowers.) So I pulled together a couple of friends (some of whom have actual talent) to see if we could follow along with the instructions.
I'm pleased to say that despite ignoring all the real artistic instruction included in the book, we were able to dive in and attempt Yoda. And even though mine came out looking like a wax figure left too close to the fire, you could honestly say that all of our attempts looked like Yoda.
Even if you're not into drawing, the book is a pleasant read for the various facts and thoughts about Star Wars art. You'll need to be diligent in finding it on the bookstore shelves, though. The drawing sections of most bookstores are usually a bit of a mess and it took me and two sales people to figure out where her book was. But it was worth it!

Information Everywhere – How to Find and Leverage It
Contact center managers operate in a high-paced, stressful environment. Perseverance and skill are required to deal with upset customers, frustrated agents, continuous staff turnover, management reporting demands, and other operational and human resource issues. Motivating team members to higher levels of performance in times of dwindling budgets and high customer expectations is a huge challenge managers must overcome.
Agents want to provide good service and accurate answers, but routinely struggle to quickly and efficiently assemble relevant information to engage the customer. With data and information scattered across disparate systems, pulling together the right contextual information for an excellent engagement experience is like finding a needle in a haystack. There has to be a better way. And there is!
A Tool for Transforming the Game - It's About Time!

Keeping pace in mobile won't be easy, or inexpensive. Feeling smug about that shiny new iPad app? Great, but are you ready to support iOS upgrades, Android, and other platforms or the inevitable onslaught of new devices? And then there's the complication of integrating all that with multiple back-end systems.
The good news is that leading browsers and mobile platforms are embracing the maturing HTML5 standard, which promises the ability to build reliable and functional mobile applications that can be developed once and deployed across a range of devices. Many enterprise app suppliers (including Microsoft and Salesforce.com) are hedging their bets by supporting both native apps and HTML5 Web apps and development platforms.
Enterprises venturing into mobile development take note: HTML5 apps won't give you the ultimate experience on each device just yet, but HTML5 looks like the way to go if you can't control what devices customers and employees will use.

A Nevada judge, siding with Chanel in counterfeit cases, has ordered major search engines and social media sites to "de-index" hundreds of domain names, and awarded those names to Chanel.
Everyone knows luxury goods are illegally copied (dialog in many TV shows and movies based in New York: "Look, a Chanel bag for ten dollars! I'll take two."), but have courts completely forgotten about due process when the Internet is involved? Chanel "investigated" counterfeit-dealing websites by buying three products that were deemed illegal copies from three sites. After a Web search, Chanel added 225 more names in their most recent filing. The same Nevada judge that approved the seizure of almost 700 website names earlier then ordered the 228 names seized. Going further, Google, Facebook, Google+, Bing, and Yahoo were ordered to remove those names from any future search results.
So a judge in Nevada now controls the global Domain Name System? Can courts use such flimsy evidence to demand search results be unilaterally doctored? It appears that waiting for Congress to enact draconian new Internet law (SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act) is too slow, so intellectual property owners are going to the courts. And at least a few US judges have no clue how the Internet works.
Mind-boggelingly bad
This is amazing... and just like that, bye bye freedom!Killwize on arstechnica.com
The precedent here is terrifying. They're shutting down entire businesses on some private dick's say so.andrewfelix on news.ycombinator.com
Judges are cheap these days.blitherer on wired.com
How can a judge possibly be so daft as to put a judgement against companies not even party to the lawsuit? If we find out these counterfeit goods are also coming over from China, should we tell UPS and FedEx they can no longer fly planes out of there?stellar678 on news.ycombinator.com
Time for civil disobedience
I posted a few sites on my facebook page, I'm waiting for the US to take it downZarathrust on news.ycombinator.com
The countdown to an alternate DNS hierarchy based outside the US can now begin. How long before there are court order for US ISPs to block it?Matty on arstechnica.com
We need a method for locating hosts on a network graph which does not have a central point of failure and which cannot be easily disabled.angersock on news.ycombinator.com
Controlling the Internet
This is insane. Google and the other search engines aren't a party in this case -- how can the judge command them to do anything if they haven't broken the law or violated a regulation?DyDx on arstechnica.com
Simple solution. Just take any mention of Chanel off of the internet, and watch it disappear from history.Aaron Smith on wired.com
Why wouldn't they at least redirect the bad URLs to Chanel's real site? That would make sense and be less work all around.ronelson on arstechnica.com
Practically, this ruling won't have much effect. There's a team of people at Google already dedicated to removing results like these from the index, as they aren't that great for users.kevinburke on news.ycombinator.com
What's the over / under for the time it takes for the legal system to catch up to global networking? 50 years?

This is an old Big Chief soda pop bottle that my grandson found in an old shed and he wanted me to list it for him. It is green with embossed letters of Big Chief. The bottle is bubbled out on each of the four sides and then becomes square with tiny embossed squares with an indian chief on the four sides. It is then bubbled out again toward the bottom ring which reads PROPERTY OF COCA COLA BOT CO 9 FL OZ. Underneath it has a 9 some kind of symbol 2. Then it has CROME CLINTON, MO. The bottle weighs 1 pound. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. If you have any questions please contact me.Thanks for looking!

- Forum: Pastries & Baking
- Thread: Old pastry called "Chop Suey"
When I was a kid, around 40 years ago we used to buy these pastries at a local bakery. I think the people who ran the bakery were Portuguese. They were little loaves that had raisins, nuts, mollasses and a thin ribbon of fudge that went across the top of them. They were delicious!! I can't find them or a recipe for them any where.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Kari, I made a new zine. I'd love to send you a copy, could you message me your address? Thanks!
Good¡ I'll like to taste yrs in yr Zine.
Blessed be¡
Woot! Thanks Kari, for saving the day for "We Make Zines" with ning. You are awesome.
Hi Kari,
I haven't received the Sex and September issue but I will not shy away from asking you to send it my way. Don't have anything new at the moment but there is a zine in the works. Have a mystery zine package. Would you like to trade for it instead?
Thanks for getting in touch!
Are you still on here ? Comment me back if so ( : I need your zines in my life.
This is very exciting !!! Do you have any copies of your collage zine left?
Hi Kari,
I'd love to trade for your art zine Sin & The September Issue. Let me know if you want to trade!
Kari, thank you so much for the kind words.
I thought I'd sent you the latest JND Ads & Contacts but I see I don't have a record of it, so i guess it was one of my many false memories. I'm dropping that in the mail this morning along with a few other zines.
Maybe you sent the envelope to my old POB, 292, in Malden. Sometimes, when the regular postmistress is on vacation, my mail sent there will get through, but most of the time she's strict with the rules and sends it back. I've been at:
James N. Dawson
P.O. Box 950
Spokane, WA 99210
for the last couple years.
I'm fine with e-mails and use them too, and I'll be happy to print your message as a LOC. I used e-mails and the Net, but I don't just totally give into it like most people. I just think it's addicting and has a tendency to fritter away time that's best spent on more substantial pursuits. I'm just trying to give the Papernet its due and build it up a little more. Jerianne finally gave in and started accepting Net-only addresses for Zine World, thinking it'd keep it going, but it went under soon after. I don't know the exact mechanisms involved, but it just seems like the Net has an insidious tendency to totally take over the Papernet, to shove it to the margins and off the cliff, and the conversation, if you can call it that, gets shallower and shallow.
Enough of that rant. Looking forward to your zines
Got your zine and it made my day funnier. as always, i enjoyed your sense of humor and enjoyable graphics. thank you for including me in "read these zines" i appreciate the support!! i look forward to the next issue<3
Hey there! Feel free to PM anytime :D
Hey Kari! I just saw your comment on my wall from last year, I have some free zine grab bags so I'll be sending some your way! Please direct message me your address if it has changed since last year :) thanks!! -Tina
So glad you enjoyed nhnb #18. Thanks for the awesome review ( : And for future reference, all my zines are free ( : Looking forward to SHARDS when it comes my way! I never thought about not being able to fold it back together lol sorry about that.
Shards #13 RULES!!
You're most welcome :) Glad it moved you. It means a lot. Thank you for sharing it with your colleague. The purpose of the zine was to reach out to those who are grieving and those who wish to help and support them.
Looking forward to the latest Shards. Thank you for sending it my way. Can't wait to read it!
Hey Kari, I got New Hearts New Bones #18 sent your way. Looking forward to the new SHARDS ( :
Kari! Did you ever get Pet Rat 2? I sent it out +- 1-2 moths ago
Pls note I changed my address:
Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan 143-4
3582XW, Utrecht Netherlands
Pls alwayz specify my name as 14 other people have the mailbox key!
Thanks for the encouragement! Your blog sounds awesome! I'll definitely trade with you when mine is done!
thanks for that warming message. perfect timing for the holiday seasons and all that ( : i'll be sending out the newest issue of new hearts new bones as soon as i get it finished, planning to have copies by Jan. can't wait for more laughs when the new shards is out (: cheers

These are cranky times in Boston. The Red Sox were terrible; the Patriots got knocked out; and Rajon Rondo is gone for a long time.
Now add to the mix this piece in Boston Magazine. Writer Alan Siegel basically torches the folks who normally do the torching. Note: This is one of the unflattering photo-illustrations that ran with the piece.
Siegel writes:
To put it bluntly, "The Lodge"—as Fred Toucher, cohost of the 98.5 The Sports Hub morning radio show, mockingly refers to the city's clubby, self-important media establishment—is clogged with stale reporters, crotchety columnists, and shameless blowhards. Their canned "hot sports takes" have found a home on local television and talk radio, but do little but suck the fun out of a topic that's supposed to be just that. And we haven't even gotten to Dan Shaughnessy yet.
I don't live in Boston and don't follow the sports coverage on a daily basis. I know many of the writers from sitting next to them in the press boxes through the years. They are some of the best in the business.
However, Siegal's piece implies the coverage has become lazy. He cites national media beating Boston beat writers on stories on their beats. It also has become predictable.
Siegel writes:
As forward-thinking as that sounds, the newspaper's core approach to sports coverage—which still relies on boilerplate game recaps, columns, and weekly "notebooks" offering bullet-point takes on the happenings from the various sports leagues—hasn't changed much over the years. In fact, not much in the Boston sports media has—not even the photos on the wall.
Siegel concludes:
Were the Globe to stop publishing sports tomorrow, how much loss would readers feel? Certainly some, but much less than even a decade ago. That's because Boston fans have gotten increasingly used to following the ups and downs of their favorite teams in national outlets rather than local ones.
The message to The Lodge is clear: Change, or die the death of utter irrelevance.

Alot of individuals will take guns to the shows to sell them as well. Many times you can get a better deal finding the right individual at gun shows than you can buying from the dealers at the tables.
This is a discussion on Going to my first gun show within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Will be attending my first gun show this weekend. What should I expect to see other than tables of things to buy ? Are gunsmiths ...
Will be attending my first gun show this weekend. What should I expect to see other than tables of things to buy ? Are gunsmiths usually available ? I would think that CC is allowed. A little help please.
Alot of individuals will take guns to the shows to sell them as well. Many times you can get a better deal finding the right individual at gun shows than you can buying from the dealers at the tables.
In part, it depends on the size of the show. I had been to a few in CT which were quite modest, with mostly collectors selling off stuff in order to trade up.
Then I moved to AZ. The first gun show I went to - at the fairgrounds in Phoenix - had five enormous buildings filled, and although I started out like a kid in a candy shop, at the end of the day it was sensory overload. I had a headache and just didn't feel right.
I quickly learned to go with specifics in mind. One time is was an SKS, another time, I was looking for a good used Single Six. More recently, I go to buy bulk ammo if the price is right.
It seems when I'm focused on just a couple of things, I am more likely to come across "serendipitous" finds... but that's nothing you can count on.
In general - and I'm painting with a very broad brush here - there are better deals to be found on guns in the gun stores and sometimes pawn shops. Those vendors count on the large number of untutored buyers showing up at the shows and getting their wares in front of the largest number of eyes possible. Occasionally I've found some good deals a couple of hours before the show ends, especially if sales have been slow.
My advice for your first show is to bring your eyes and ears and not a lot of cash, unless you are on a quest for that one specific piece for your collection and you've done your research to know in advance what the going prices are. Beyond that, soak it all in and enjoy yourself!

My experience is that they really vary from state/region to state/region. We had fun at them in Florida, but not so much in other places.
A good place to look for collectible stuff and military memoribilia. (not my thing)
If you are looking for something specific be sure to research prices online to have an idea as to what to pay, also be prepared to dicker with the seller offer at least 10% to 20% less than the asking price, unless it is already a fair price I rarely pay the asking price.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
Hóka-héy! Crazy Horse
they really vary from state/region to state/region. most that i have been to in the last several years were a waste of money. high prices on everything, lots of knifes, socks, and beef jerky. but i would go so you can see for yourself. you can have fun just walking around watching the "rambo's" and "know it all's".
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
Red State State of Mind
I quit going to gun shows about 6-7 years ago...total waste of my time.
But you can get a deal on 'badges'...

What I love about gunshows in my area is that I can by 7.62X54R of all kinds really cheap, find all sorts of cleaning supplies, and other misc parts, some hard to find, some not and other stuff cheap also. However, there are a ton of idiots to be had. Some well meaning, and lots not so well meaning. Oh, and lots and lots of bad advice, too.On the plus side, you can meet some really nice, knowledgeable people as well.
deal with em if you want to buy...in our area it seems the prices are higher at the shows than in the local gun stores...but i have gotten some of my best deals by flashing cash and telling em what i'll pay for what i want...the worst they can say is no...its not like you have to sit at the dinner table with them...
Ooooh! Beef Jerky time!!!
A lot of shows will have politically incorrect publications for sale. There will be jerky and some leather goods and sometimes coin dealers as well.
If you are looking for a great deal, don't hold your breath. As others have said you might do better buying from another shopper than from one of the vendors. Know exactly what you want and how much you can get it for elsewhere. When you factor in the admission and parking and gas you might well do better shopping on line or at a local shop. Also you usually get a better deal if you have cash instead of using a credit card. If a vendor wont knock off the 3% or so they have to pay to the credit card companies when you offer cash I would just walk away.

text: My moms Chrysler Sebring just returned from the garage, they changed the oil level sensor since the oil light always kept going on at idle (and yes there was enough oil). The oil light still goes on one week after the repair which was 250$ by the way for a 40$ sensor. Its going back to the dealer this week.

Sauvignon Blanc Bundt Cake
Wine is an unusual ingredient when it comes to baing, though it is often used in savory cooking. But add a little sugar and wine can easily turn from something "dry" into something sweet.

Wine is usually paired with savory items.

Research Overview
Broadly speaking, I am interested in the relationship between culture and crop genetic resources (i.e. agrobiodiversity). My past work has explored the ways in which policy, technology development, and economic change impact the in situ conservation of maize landraces in Mexico. I have also been involved in cross-country comparisons of informal markets for landrace seed.
In my dissertation research, I am examining the relationship between agricultural biodiversity, household nutrition and food security, and changing food culture in Bolivia. In particular, I am interested in understanding how native and traditional Andean crops function as culinary resources at the household level. How do these foods figure among the array of options that Bolivian food-preparers (primarily women) employ to create meals that are satisfying to their families, friends, clients, or other publics? And how, in the context of contemporary political and social change in Bolivia, does the consumption of native and traditional foods dovetail with wider public discourses surrounding indigeneity, cultural heritage, and national belonging? These are the questions I seek to answer in my dissertation fieldwork, to be carried out in 2012 and 2013.

Junior Ben Meyer allowed just two hits in seven innings as the University of Minnesota (6-3) baseball team beat Louisiana Tech (3-6) 6-1 in Ruston, La., Sunday.
Meyer retired the Bulldogs in order in every inning except the second. He gave up one run on two hits and a walk in the second. He struck out four batters during the longest start for any Gopher pitcher so far this season.
Minnesota scored the first three runs of the game. The Golden Gophers put two runs on the board in the second inning. Right fielder Bobby Juan reached on an infield single, then shortstop Michael Handel singled and catcher Austin Athmann walked. Juan and Handel scored when left fielder Tony Skjefte hit a double.
The Gophers then added a run in the third. Center fielder Matt Fiedler led off with a double and then scored on a single by third baseman Mark Tatera.
Louisiana Tech's lone run came in the bottom of the third. Nichols hit an infield single and advanced to third on Thomas Simoneaux's double. Johnson's sacrifice fly plated Nichols to cut the lead to 3-1.
Both teams were then scoreless until Minnesota's three-run outburst in the ninth. Athmann was hit by pitch and advanced on a Jake Bergren sacrifice bunt. After second baseman Connor Schaefbauer was intentionally walked, Jordan Smith drove in Athmann with a pinch hit double. First baseman Dan Olinger singled to score Schaefbauer. Then Chris Schaaf hit a sacrifice fly to score Smith.
Schaefbauer hit 2-for-4 in Sunday's game and 6-for-12 in the series. He stole five bases over the weekend, including two on Sunday.
Lance Thonvold pitched the last two innings and earned a save for the Gophers, while Meyer got his first win of the season. Starter Jared Keating took the loss for Louisiana Tech.
Minnesota will next travel to Myrtle Beach for Coastal Carolina's Chanticleer Classic March 7-9.

Since 1985 we have been designing Couture weddings and parties throughout the Pittsburgh area. Let us turn you weddings dreams in to lifetime memories! The biggest problem facing most brides, is that they usually only have a vague idea of what they want and where to get it, which is obviously a problem for all concerned. Brides don't want to waste time going to the wrong florists and professional florists certainly don't want to waste time on brides who are not really looking for what they have to offer. So the first step for a bride is to decide how much they want to spend on their wedding flowers. As with everything to do with a wedding, prices vary greatly. To understand why there is such a wide range of prices, it helps to appreciate the difference between off- the- peg or bridal packages and design- to –order couture wedding flowers. There are floral shops that have wedding packages that have been designed with the wedding co-coordinator at the bride's chosen venue. They have set prices for every aspect of a wedding. This works very well for many florists and often goes hand in hand with the catering, photography, music companies and hotel or country club. Couture is where the wedding is designed to the customer's own specification and, of course is more costly but at the same time is designed with the bride in mind. This is where the we come in to our own—we have the expertise, know the trends, and can advise the bride on what will suit her personality and dress. We have security in our ability to deliver and can convey this to the bride. When she leaves the consultation she knows that we are the right person and has total confidence in our skills.

Florida beach town tries to tame spring break without killing the party
By Letitia Stein
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - A tradition of around-the-clock spring break partying has drawn Lance Granata to this small Florida Gulf Coast town three times. But this year, his antics landed him in jail - twice.
The Michigan student ran afoul of a new community effort to tamp down on the debauchery that comes with being a leading collegiate spring break destination, without breaking up a lucrative party.
"They want the underage drinkers, but they don't," said Granata, 20. He was arrested for smashing a window at a Subway store and for underage drinking, which he considered "beyond ridiculous."
Like previous Florida spring break hot spots Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach, this Panhandle town is facing a crisis of conscience over the trade-offs involved in hosting a binge for some 300,000 students who arrive through mid-April with coolers, beer funnels and credit cards.
Unwilling to evict spring break, a crucial season in a community where tourism brings in more than $1 billion annually, the city has passed new rules to counter the worst excesses.
Bars must stop serving alcohol at 2 a.m. in March, two hours earlier than before. Partygoers must have a valid ID to drink on the beach, and the practice of digging deep holes in the sand for drinking games and sex is banned.
"We're a very conservative area," said Bay County Commissioner Mike Thomas. "We've got more churches than we do bars.
"When you get this many people together being rowdy, it shows our community in a bad light." Continued...

It's 'snake season' in the Middle East, and an Israeli man just got a painful reminder.
While relieving himself in a Northern Israel toilet, the man reportedly felt a strange stinging sensation on the tip of his penis.
A man was rushed to a hospital after a snake bit his penis while he was relieving himself in a toilet, according to hospital officials in Israel.
According to the paramedic, despite the location of the injury, the man managed to stay calm and even had a laugh with workers at his own expense.
Fortunately for this man, he was bitten by one of the few non-poisonous snakes in the area. The area is home to a host of deadly vipers, including the notorious desert cobra. Have we learned nothing from Indian Jones movies?! There are snakes all over the Middle East and whipping your johnson out is just tempting fate.

for now, I think making it optional is okay. but splitting it up in text, logo and footage placeholders will be the way to go.
Agreed.Placeholders should be listed by type instead of amount.
Not so sure about the "Uses Plugins vs. Requires Plugins" either.I do understand that using Plexus there will be a certain look to the project,but overall i think it just adds confusion.

kainxtheory saidThanks a lot. After reading your comment I read some reviews on this book and I just purchased audio version of this book.
If you're struggling with laziness you should read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. Really insightful book.
Seems like a very interesting book.Definitely ordering this one asap.

Seriously ill passengers may miss out on life-saving help
Page Tools
People who suffer a heart attack during a Qantas flight may be deprived of vital medical attention because the airline is forcing senior flight attendants to use up long-service leave.
The Flight Attendants Association said the move by Qantas to scale back the 1200 years of accumulated leave for its 4000 international flight attendants meant some flights were leaving Australia without trained cabin-service managers or supervisors on board.
Qantas said the impact was minuscule. "We operate more than 2000 international flights a month, and three services have been affected in the past month," a spokesman said.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority said the change did not raise any serious safety concerns. All flight attendants needed to be trained in onboard emergency procedures, it said.
"Everybody is trained the same in terms of [meeting] our regulations," said an authority spokesman, Peter Gibson.

Daddy-Daughter Love
Anyways, back to my point. I actually have one today. Which is, I understand, an unexpected treat for my readers.
I didn't realize it was possible to love Adam any more than I already did. I mean I already admire and respect who he is as a teacher and the way he loves his work, and the way the kids he teach love him. I love his leadership and confidence. I love his willingness to step out in faith into the plans God has for him. I love his goofiness and I even love his corny dance moves. Including the "wash and rinse."
But seeing him with Jayci? It's like falling in love all over again.
This picture is especially close to my heart because I have a nearly identical picture of me with my dad.
She just loves him so much.
Excuse me while I go get a mop and clean myself up, because now I am a puddle on the floor.

Hi Becca! I got your comment but couldn't find an email for you! We do have another blog (I keep it relatively private) and a ministry page, if you'll email me I will send you the links!!! Your daughter is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
We are originally from Charlotte so Atl is close to home!
I know exactly what you mean Becca!I love watching Liam with the girls and it is also so much fun to see them doing something one on one like when Lilly helps Liam fix something or they go on dates together someplace. My favorite moments are the giggle wresling fights where Lilly and Abigail attack Liam on the bed and laugh their heads off!ReplyDelete
They love him so much and cry every morning when he leaves for work!
Becca, I know what you mean!! I love my husband SO MUCH MORE now that we're parents. He's an amazing dad, but also, he's become a better husband. I don't know how - I chalk it up to a Marriage Miracle! :)ReplyDelete
Isn't being a parent the best. And these blogs are so therapeutic. Just us girls, chatting. A place that men would never go and invade. I love to see Bryce with his dad. They are the best of pals. Dads can play with their kids different than us. Just you wait until she walks to the door when he gets home and calls him. Talk about a puddle. Everytime it is an EVENT! lol Love your pics. Glad to see you so in love. The friendship part is so important!ReplyDelete

There is nothing more attractive then to see a man just beam at his children... it just reflects the love in them...ReplyDelete
beautiful pictures as always!
That is SO sweet!!! I feel exactly the same way about my hubby and boys.ReplyDelete
Too, TOO sweet! What a great husband and daddy...little Jayci has him wrapped around her tiny finger already. Definitely divine daddy-daughter devotion! :<)ReplyDelete
Those are precious!!!!!! There is nothing like seeing David with Allie....I thought I had seen it all until she was born and he held her in his arms.ReplyDelete
Isn't that the truth! I fall more in love with my husband as I see him with our children!ReplyDelete

Airlines Hit Hard as Flights Resume
Planes are gradually reentering the skies over Europe today. The Associated Press reports that Germany's air traffic controllers have said they are reopening the country's airspace. London's Heathrow airport, Europe's busiest, has also reopened, delivering rays of hope to stranded travelers.
Now that flights are back in the air, the airline industry is looking at how to deal with over 100,000 flights that were canceled in the past week due to ash from an Iceland volcano. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) told The AP that airlines have lost at least $1.7 billion due to travel disruptions.
"For an industry that lost $9.4 billion last year and was forecast to lose a further $2.8 billion in 2010, this crisis is devastating," Giovanni Bisignani, the head of the IATA, said. "Governments should help carriers recover the cost of this disruption."
At least 15,000 of Europe's 28,000 flights are expected to go into the air today, but with severe delays.
UPDATE SINCE THIS STORY WAS FIRST POSTED: This story was updated to include an increased number of canceled flights.

The missing piece at the Wegman hearing
Again, red is the original MBH98 multiproxy+PC analysis, green is if the raw data are used directly (with no PC analysis at all). (This comes from Rutherford et al (2005) and uses a different methodology – RegEM – to calibrate paleoclimate proxy data against the modern instrumental record, but that doesn't make any difference for this point).
Why doesn't it make any difference? It's because the PC analysis was used to encapsulate all of the statistically relevant information in the N. American tree ring network and so whatever patterns are in there they will always influence the final reconstruction.
So what would have happened to the MBH results if Wegman and his colleagues had been consulted on PC centering conventions at the time? Absolutely nothing.
Can we all get on with something more interesting now?

Technicians use laser light to target follicles, thereby reducing the growth of unwanted hair. Although a few treatments can be effective in permanently reducing unwanted fuzz, optimal results typically require at least six sessions due to hair-growth cycles and laser-absorption rates.

#1: sunscreen & sensitive skin
I am having trouble finding sunscreen for my sensitive skin. I have been trying to use Olay Complete with SPF 15 and Banana Boat Sport SPF 85. Both sit on my sweat and make me sweat horribly. I live in Philly which has brutal humidity. Compared to how bad I feel in sunscreen, I rather go without even though I know I shouldn't. Looking for advice.

Ms. Smith asked her friend Chris, a soldier in Afghanistan if we could meet him on Skype. He said yes and stayed up late to talk with us. We had lots of questions for him and we loved talking to him. You can watch and listen to some of the things we talked about.
After our skype call with Chris, we read a book by Phil Cummings and Owen Swan about an Australian soldier from long ago. He was far away from his family and in a war. His wife and daughter made Anzac Biscuits (cookies) and sent them to him.
Anzac Biscuits were baked for soldiers, especially the Australian and New Zealand soldiers because they were nutritious and could last the journey to the other side of the world. They reminded the soldiers that the people back home were thinking about them. Anzac Biscuits have now become a common cookie in Australia.
We decided to make some Anzac Biscuits for Chris to remind him that we are thinking about him. We also drew pictures and wrote stories to send in the package.
These are the pictures we made for Chris.

Bought my son this phone. Locked up after downloading 3 apps (games) & wouldnt do anything! Went back to Carphone Warehouse who were brilliant & exchanged for a new one immediately which did exactly the same thing aaagh! Also has a memory card in it so dont understand it! Thought I would ring LG direct to discuss bt £1.50+ per MINUTE for help I dont think so!! Very disappointed!
thinking of whether to buy or not is it worth 40quid?
right, the one issue if you look into it is that this phone has a horrific internal memory issue which causes it to only be able to have a few updates on it. It isn't meant to be a gaming phone at all, try looking for a different phone entirely if this is what the phone will be used for
Guys guys guys why u all are upset about this phone. Its a very good phone if can operate properly with the right stuff. Just root the phone and use link2sd app and it solves all the memory problems. I have rooted it and installed more than 100 of apps in this phone and it supports most android games like Flick Rugby Flick Soccer. I agree LG should have used 16M color display screen instead of 256k display but other than that its an ok phone better than Samsung Galaxy Y
my L3 is not rooting :(
Im interested in this rooting thing. can you send me some links where I could learn this stuff?
