St. Mirren were very impressed with Newcastle loan players Paul Dummett and Conor Newton last season, and it looks like Conor may be returning to the Scottish club for a season long loan deal, and he could well be accompanied by 18 year-old North Shields born striker Adam Campbell.
Conor Newton in action for St. Mirren last season
Adam impressed in his substitute appearance at St. Mirren last Tuesday night, and after the game there were reports that St. Mirren manger Danny Lennon would try to get him on loan.
This is what Lennon has told the Evening Chronicle:
""Yeah, there's a conversation taking place there. Adam's a player we're very much aware of. I've seen a couple of videos of him and I saw him live the other night."
"He's very dynamic and very quick and he handles the ball well." "I know Alan Pardew thinks a great deal of him."
"Conor's a player of high quality and I would love to have him back here."
Newton joined St. Mirren in January and played 20 times with 3 goals for the Scottish Premier League side, and he scored the winner in the club's 3-2 win in the Scottish League Cup Final against Hearts.
Newton has signed a new one year deal at Newcastle, and we'll have to see how he does next season, but the 21 year-old Newcastle-born youngster hasn't been able to make the breakthrough to the first team squad this summer.
Of course the 21 year-old has some very strong competition in the central midfield position at the moment with Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko and Anita vying for those positions.
Adam Campbell – in action at St. Mirren on Tuesday night
We'd be surprised if Adam Campbell goes on loan for the full season, maybe just though January, when there would be a decision about whether to bring him back to Newcastle.
But Adam should be able to score a lot of goals in Scotland, and it will do him the world of good.
What do you think.

Ms. DUCKWORTH. Mr. Speaker, the Ryan budget once again places the burden of deficit reduction on working Americans while failing to stop the frivolous spending of subsidies for oil and gas companies that cost the American people billions of dollars every year.
I'm especially concerned that the Ryan budget will end the guarantee of Medicare for hardworking Americans who have paid into it. Medicare was created precisely because the private market failed to provide seniors with affordable and quality health care.
Even if senior citizens are able to find decent health insurance, they would still have to pay $1,000 more a year for prescription drugs after the Ryan budget reopens the doughnut hole. Overall, their budget will force seniors to pay $59,500 more in health care costs during their retirement. My neighbors, who work so hard to pay their mortgages and send their children to college, can't afford to spend another $59,500.
Rather than ramming through a partisan budget that will never become law, I encourage Congress to work together on a budget that can preserve Medicare, reduce the deficit, and grow our economy.

Use the operator "/." to perform the substitution. For example, let's say you

Trent Murphy and his Stanford teammates walked off the field at Oregon State on Oct. 26 with a variety of emotions. They were happy they'd won, but their 20-12 victory was not terribly impressive, at least on the offensive side of the ball. Further, disappointed Beavers fans quickly reminded them of the bigger birds that lay ahead.
Murphy, who is battling UCLA's Anthony Barr for Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, really didn't need to be reminded. As soon as the clock hit zero, his mind switched focus to the game upon which the Cardinal's season will be measured: Oregon.
"It was almost immediate for me walking off the field," he said. "Even the Oregon State fans as we walked off the field were going, 'OK, well at least go beat the Ducks.' You couldn't help but go right to that."
The same could be said for Stanford coach David Shaw, only his mind turned to what it was going to take to beat the unbeaten, No. 3 Ducks. He didn't see it on the field of Reser Stadium.
"Coach Shaw got on us after the game a little bit, saying that effort, making mistakes, won't be good enough to beat a team like Oregon," Murphy recalled. "We didn't have too much room for excitement after that game playing the way we did."
Monday afternoon, after a bye week to cogitate over the matter -- Stanford players do not merely think, they cogitate -- Murphy tweeted his thoughts on the Thursday night matchup: "Oregon is a good football team. But this week game plan is simple -- Hard Work, Trust, Discipline, and one mean S.O.B. attitude."
That about sums it up. It sums up the way Stanford approached the 2012 game, a shocking 17-14 overtime victory in Autzen Stadium that would be the Ducks' only defeat. And it sums up Murphy.
Murphy, an AP third-team All-American and first-team All-Pac-12 pick in 2012, leads the Pac-12 in sacks (9.5) and tackles for a loss (13.5). He also has six quarterback hurries, an interception returned 30 yards for a touchdown and a blocked kick.
The 6-foot-6, 261-pound senior is playing his way into the first round of the NFL draft this spring. Mel Kiper ranks Murphy 25th on his big board, noting, "Murphy has shown me a little more quickness this year and I think it translates into a potential Round 1 selection. He can play standing up or with his hand on the ground, and can attack defenders with his eyes up, so he doesn't lose run leverage and will knock down passes. One of the country's top sack artists this season."
Shaw has several years of NFL coaching experience and he's fielded plenty of calls from former colleagues about Murphy.
"They are intrigued by his versatility," Shaw said. "Some of them are looking at him as a guy who can play open defensive end. Some of them look at him as a strong-side base end on the outside shoulder of a tackle. And some of them look at him as a 3-4 outside linebacker, like what we are doing, strong side or week side."
But first things first: Oregon.
The No.5 Cardinal are a 10 1/2-point underdog at home. The general feeling is the Ducks are looking for some style points against a highly rated foe in order to keep Florida State at bay in the BCS standings. Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, who played his only poor game last year against the Cardinal, also could cement his status as the Heisman Trophy frontrunner.
Hardscrabble Stanford isn't adverse to dipping into the "disrespect" reservoir for a motivational angle when facing their flashy North Division rivals. After all, it worked last year when the Cardinal were a three-touchdown underdog.
"It's not a strange position for us to be in, having people betting against us," Murphy said. "We feel more comfortable when everyone writes us off."
Murphy almost certainly will play a key role if the Cardinal are going to duplicate last year's surprising result. Last year, he had two sacks against the Ducks, leading an inspired defensive effort.
Stanford even forced Mariota to throw an interception. That's notable because he hasn't tossed one since then, as he's set a new Pac-12 record with 293 passes without an interception. Mariota had a 77-yard run last year, but even that became more notable as a positive for Stanford, which caught him from behind and then held the Ducks on fourth down.
Of course, Mariota is a much more refined, mature player as a second-year starter. The Ducks passing game is significantly better, too. Mariota passed for 206 yards per game in 2012. This year, it's 285 yards per game.
"You have to respect Mariota and his ability to make plays," Murphy said. "He's a phenomenal athlete. It's typical Oregon. They have great athletes who can make big plays. They will crease you. The thing is you've got to limit the big plays and tackle the football."
Shortly before last year's game, Stanford defensive coordinator Derek Mason cryptically referenced "deep water" to the Pac-12 blog, which had no earthly idea what he was talking about. After the game, he clarified.
Deep water is the screws tightening in a high-stakes game late in the fourth quarter. Stanford is accustomed to deep water. It is willing to be uncomfortable because it believes its opponent is more so. Deep water is something Oregon rarely encounters, mostly because it blows opponents out.
Of course, part of that is Ducks swim well. Washington and UCLA got the Ducks into a close fourth quarter this year, trailing by just a single touchdown. They ended up losing by 21 and 28 points, respectively.
Still, deep water is where Stanford thinks it has an advantage.
"Deep water is always the plan," Murphy said. "We feel comfortable in close games, dragging our opponent into deep water in the fourth quarter. If we can get into that position again, we're in a good place."
Then maybe that "mean S.O.B. attitude" can take over and again stun the nation.

Location: Soil and Water Management Research
Project Number: 5062-12000-008-05-T
Project Type: Trust Fund Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: May 1, 2008
End Date: Apr 30, 2013
The fertilizer industry and the USDA-Agricultural Research Service's (USDA-ARS) GRACEnet project need scientifically sound N2O emissions data from field research plots treated with various N sources across the U.S. The USDA-ARS GRACEnet cross location project has (1) a research network in place; (2) established cross location protocols for greenhouse gas sampling; (3) the facilities and personnel; and (4) the initial instrumentation required to expand its collection of this type of data. GRACEnet objective 2 includes the collection of CO2, N2O and CH4 greenhouse gas data, in addition to soil carbon sequestration. This research project will evaluate the effects of controlled release and stabilized nitrogen sources on nitrous oxide emissions in rainfed and irrigated cropping systems at several ARS research locations compared with the commonly used urea and urea-ammonium nitrate fertilizer sources.
Nitrogen source studies will be conducted at two sites in Becker, MN and one site in Rosemount, MN to collect greenhouse gas emissions data from corn and potato cropping systems. A controlled release polymer-coated urea (ESN) and/or a stabilized urea source (SuperU) and Urea as a conventional source will be applied to each cropping system at each location. Except for the irrigated site at Becker, all sites are rainfed cropping systems, with either conventional tillage or no-tillage management practices, or both. Nitrogen rates at each location will include at least a near optimal N rate (for greenhouse gas data collection) for the crop and cropping system. The N sources will be applied using normal farming practices at each location. Nitrous oxide emissions from each N source treatment and a check (zero fertilizer N applied) treatment will be monitored several times each week during the growing season. Methods used for greenhouse gas measurements will follow those established for the ARS GRACEnet program. Crop yield data, needed soil water and temperature data, and other necessary data needed to interpret the greenhouse gas emissions results will be collected. A scientifically sound experimental design with a minimum of 3 replications will be used at each location.

There are plenty of good camping options to be found within three or four hours of the metroplex, but few of them offer the kind of scenery, wildlife and rock climbing opportunities you'll find in Western Oklahoma's Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. With a large herd of bison, the refuge is your best bet in the region for a true, in-the-wild glimpse of the beasts that used to roam this part of the country by the millions. It's also home to more than 240 species of birds, several prairie dog towns and more than 800 head of elk, all of which you might run into as you hike the many miles of nationally recognized hiking trails. So pack a tent, head out for a long weekend and get some fresh air in those lungs, city dweller. And make sure to stop in Meers for the world famous Meersburger—just don't ask for mayo, or they'll call you a sissy. It's Oklahoma, after all.
Randy Galloway has a prominent radio show and Tim Cowlishaw a gig on ESPN's Around the Horn, but nobody in this market spins an ink-stained tale like Gil. Case in point: Who else could piss off not just a fan base, but an entire country? LeBreton's February 28 column was 1,235 words, not a one of which was "Nazi" or "Hitler" or "effyouhosers." Why, then, did seemingly all of Canada show up with fire and pitchforks, demanding an apology? Because Gil made a clever, daring—albeit controversial—analogy comparing the superfluous spirit and unbridled jingoism of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics to those held in Berlin in 1936. While LeBreton compared and contrasted a spirit, he reminded us all that the whole world has grown oversensitive, wholly oblivious to common sense yet simultaneously in detailed tune with the smallest speck of political incorrectness. Kudos.
Can we retire this trophy already? The giant German is pushing our policy on term limits with his unprecedented streak of consistent greatness. Again last season he was good; his surrounding cast not quite good enough. His critics call him soft and a playoff choker, but we call him the best player in Mavs franchise history. And it ain't even close. Last year he surpassed 20,000 points, set a franchise record with a dazzling 29-point fourth quarter in a memorable win over Utah, made his ninth NBA All-Star team and led the Mavericks to the playoffs. But the moment we all finally appreciated Dirk was in July when—if only for a day—we pondered life in the lottery without him after he opted out of his contract via free agency. Typical Nowitzki, however, he re-upped in Dallas. For less money.
The Mavericks traded for Caron Butler and the Cowboys drafted Dez Bryant, but no local athlete made an immediate and lasting impact like Texas Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee. Acquired in a July trade with the Seattle Mariners for a handful of prospects, Lee's first four starts were the stuff of legend. He came within two outs of pitching four consecutive complete games while striking out 25 and walking only one. Lee's command of the fastball is dazzling, as if he is placing marshmallows atop a cake. His emergence provided the Rangers with the pitching ace they coveted for, oh, 40 years and prompted them to bury their American League West foes. With Lee on the mound, for the first time in a long time the Rangers felt like a real, live Major League Baseball team.
Love him or loathe him, you watch him. Whether he's unplugged in the Channel 8 studios or underdressed in a funky Hawaiian shirt down at Dallas Cowboys training camp, what Hansen says matters. The other local sports talking heads deliver the highlights and insights, but Hansen shapes opinions by voicing his. He's got the ego to chastise Jerry Jones and the balls to ask this question of Cowboys' offensive coordinator Jason Garrett: "What does it say about a coaching staff that it had no idea what it had in Miles Austin? There's this talented guy right under your nose, but if it weren't for an injury you would have never given him his chance." That, my friends, is Hansen-style.

Sports and Recreation
Best Fly Shop Well, anglers and river-run-through-this types were of divided minds, apparently, so we have a rare official tie in this race. King Fisher and Grizzly Hackle have to share the honors, but we're sure they'll be nice about it, because after all fishing is such a soothing obsession. Hobby-we mean hobby.
Best Store for Skis Missoula is a town very enamored with the white stuff, as evidenced by the huge turn-out in this category. Gull Ski won by a whisker over Bob Ward and Sons. Three cheers for Gull, and for the other dozen or so shops that nabbed votes. Now, mush!
Best Store for Outdoor Gear A fierce duel. Three contenders with impeccable cred took it to the mat for the honors in a heavily voted category. Finally, the Trailhead emerged victorious, but check this out-Bob Ward and Sons held on to second, just two votes behind the winner, and Pipestone Mountaineering took third just two votes behind B-Dubs.
Best Bike Shop Three cheers for our old friends at The Bike Doctor, who, uh, shredded in this category. The Bike Dox know what cycling is all about, but they don't take it so seriously that they won't rehab your Schwinn cruiser. That makes 'em cool in our book, and apparently with our readers as well. Pretty much every two-wheeler shop in town garnered some support, proving once again that the 'burg that rides together, stays together.
Best Gun Shop Sportsman's Surplus got its mack on for serious in this race, and with their vast array of hunting weaponry, it's not hard to see why. Bob Ward and Sons, a pillar of the community for decades, did well too, as did the scrappy folks at The Axmen.
Best Ski Hill We have to say that we saw this one coming: Snowbowl by a landslide. Honorable mention goes to Discovery, Lost Trail, and The Big Mountain.
Best Bowling Alley This one is always close and makes for one of the most fascinating races to watch. But for the third year in a row, the undisputed champion of local keglers' hearts remains Westside Lanes. We've got some hipster pals that hit Westside every Thursday night, and they sing its praises loud and long. Rock 'n' rollers, old-school bowlers, cowboys, cowgirls, families out for fun-now, ain't that America?
Best Health Club Once again, all our votes for "Missoula Club" fell fallow, as sporty types carried the day. In fact, Missoula Athletic Club rolled to victory. The YMCA, Montana Athletic Club, Women's Club and Gold's Gym all posted highly respectable showings.
Best Day Hike Well, our personal choice ("Between Charlie B's and Al & Vic's") didn't seem to generate a lot of momentum in this outdoorsy category. In fact, the Rattlesnake stood head and shoulders above the crowd here. The Rattlesnake's claim to fame is that it's closer than any other wilderness in the country to an urban area. We are truly blessed.
Food & Drink
Best Breakfast With all of the breakfast choices in Missoula, it should be no surprise that this category was one of the most highly contested. Defending 1998 champion, The Old Town Cafe, emerged victorious once again. Valiant efforts by The Shack and Paul's Pancake Parlor for second place should not go without notice.
Best Lunch Under $5 Having returned from a winter's trip to the motherlode of Cajun food, New 'Awlins, I was happy to find that the Dinosaur Cafe could serve it up with the best of them at half the price. Last year's winner, Tipu's Tiger came in a close second with a variety of curry and rice tasties for under five bones.
Best Power Lunch Talk about a close call! Missoulians gave Marianne's Hob Nob the nod for best place to schmooze your boss or prospective clients for the second year in a row by five scant votes over Red Bird. Either establishment provides ample atmosphere for using lunch as an excuse to work nine hours instead of eight. Hopefully, the fellow who voted for Sizzler can finally figure out why he is still working in the mailroom.
Best Romantic Dining The way in which Shadows Keep buried the competition for top romancing honors hasn't been seen since Bush steamrolled Dukakis in '88. This makes it three years in a row now that the castle-like structure atop Whitaker Drive has garnered top honors for its swoonability. In a Truman-Dewey like battle for second place, Ray Risho's Perugia nudged out The Bridge.
Best Place to Eat Alone I'm one of those guys you see at lunch hogging a whole table that seats four all by himself. And there's no place I'd rather do this with my books spread all around me than Tipu's Tiger. If you're lucky enough to get a window seat, it doubles as a great place to spy on the guys at the Missoulian.
Best Mexican Food Despite a strong 11th hour surge by El Topo Azul, Casa Pablo's held on to its reign as Missoula's best Mexican food for the fourth year in a row. Perhaps their excellent margaritas are one reason they are able to have such a strong showing year after year.
Best Chinese Food Like Morton Anderson's last minute field goal to lift the Falcons over the Vikings in this year's NFC Championship, Hong Kong Chef stole victory from the clutches of the Mustard Seed to claim top honors by a mere three votes. One may wonder if Gary Anderson could have won the thing in regulation for the Vikes if he'd just eaten some of HKC's crispy tofu during half-time.
Best Thai Food Who would have thought that the battle for the Garden City's favorite Thai restaurant would be as heated as traveling on Highway 93 at rush hour? Thai Spicy played the part of tow-truck, cleaning up the demolition derby debris between The Thai Deli and SaWaDee, who duked it out for second place.
Best Seafood If the contest for best Chinese was like the Falcons and Vikes, then Best Seafood was more like the 1975 NCAA tournament when the Griz almost felled mighty UCLA. Last year's champion, The Depot, escaped defeat by one mere vote to stave off a furious rally by Joey's Only in the closing minutes.
Best Vegetarian Food Best Journalist winner and Indy staffer Zach Dundas secretly sneaks away from the office to enjoy the best damn cup of Chai in town at Tipu's Tiger, which is also the winner of this year's best veggie restaurant. Bipin and the fellas at Tipu's have been cleaning up since winning Best New Restaurant and Best Lunch Under $5 last year. 1998 winner, The Black Dog, put up respectable numbers as this year's runner-up.
Best Hamburger Talk about Populism in action! Fuddruckers pulled off what was once thought to be impossible by defeating the incumbent Missoula Club, who had dominated this category since its inception in 1995. The Dinosaur Cafe battled for third, narrowly escaping from neighborhood favorite Del's Place.
Best Sandwich A new category for 1999, best sandwich honors go to the folks out at Friends, who make great grub to pick up before those rowdy fall Griz Soccer games at South Field. Staggering Ox made some noise in second place with their assortment of cleverly named sandwiches.
Best Pizza This battle was so epic it was like the conclusion of the Iliad with MacKenzie River cast as Achilles and The Bridge as Hektor ... and the mighty MacKenzie River emerging victorious outside the high walls of the Garden City. Maybe that whole reconciliation feast at the end of Homer's masterwork was with take-out.
Best Ice Cream Last year after being beaten out by Goldsmith's for Best Ice Cream, the owners of Big Dipper launched an initiative codenamed "Operation Cream Team" to capture this year's prize. The details are sketchy, but a recent investigation has uncovered ties between Big Dipper management and Wisconsin dairy Mafia leader Jimmy "The Udder" Schlemke.
Best Milkshake Inquiring about the dominance of the Uptown Diner in this category, a source close to the situation divulged their secret for success: "It's all about bringing that stainless steel shake thingy to the table with all the leftover shake stuff in it." Apparently Big Dipper's "Operation Cream Team" was not able to gather enough reconnaissance on the Uptown to push them over the top in this category, coming in second again.
Best Steak It takes a lot to impress my dad when it comes to someone grillin' up a steak for him. You see, he's been in the meat packing industry since I don't know when, and usually complains about something or other when he orders steak from a restaurant. Maybe it's the taxidermy, but for his money, Guy's Lolo Creek Steakhouse is the first thing on his mind when he thinks of Missoula.
Best Bagels We may have to vote on term limits for Bagels on Broadway, for they have won this award by a landslide each year since they opened their doors. However, their location across from the courthouse probably insures them getting off on a technicality if any such restriction was enacted.
Best Bakery Bernice's has been kicking out the best pastries and decadent goodies long before most of us even knew where Missoula was, and the coffee is potent enough to wire even the most caffeinated connoisseur.
Best Delicatessen There was a period in my life where Worden's Market was the closest eatery within bikeshot of my job, and as a result, I think I have consumed every salad and sandwich that they have. Surprise second place honors go to the Broadway Market, which is considered by many Missoula's best kept secret for pasta, cheese and wine, not to mention that owner Alfredo Cipolato is perhaps the most colorful proprietor in town.
Best Coffee One afternoon I had to restrain my roommate who, instead of his very quiet self, was acting very peculiar, rambling on and on about the "quad-shot mocha" he had consumed hours before at this year's winner Break Espresso. Butterfly Herbs narrowly defeated the Catalyst for second place.
Best Wine List It appears that our voters are not too sure what exactly a wine list is, as most people voted for Worden's Market in this category. People! Listen up! Worden's might have a mighty fine wine selection, but a "wine list" is what restaurants make available to you for consumption during your meal. With that in mind, it would appear that The Depot is this year's winner.
Best Microbrew It was a year of controversy for Missoula's microbrewers in 1998. First, this year's champion, Big Sky Brewing, was hassled by the corporate goons at Moosehead for "infringing" on their brand with Moose Drool. Secondly, this year's third place brewery, Kettlehouse, was hounded by the ATF for its "incendiary" Olde Bongwater ale. Come on Bayern! Just because you came in second doesn't mean you can't garner a slice of the media spotlight!
Best Supermarket Just when you thought that Missoula was safe, lo the Behemoth cometh in the form of the new Super Albertson's on Russell. Maybe the well-lit parking lot and the soft neon din were just enough to mesmerize the two voters it took to put them ahead of Tidyman's for this year's award. Must ... vote ... for ... Albertson's.
Best Fresh Produce The fact that we grow less of our own food at home and rely on technology to provide it for us proves that Americans have evolved from the Agrarian age to the Silicon Age. And when our voters want fresh produce these days they rely on the Good Food Store to provide it for them.
Best Beverage Prices One of the first things I did when I turned 21 was head to Orange Street Food Farm where I had discovered that buying several cases of "beverages" provided one with the same amount of beer as a 16-gallon keg for two cents cheaper on the gallon. Unfortunately, I crashed my bike on my way home sending a few dozen cans of PBR to their doom in the middle of Higgins. That's what you get for thinking too hard.
Health & Beauty
Best Men's Clothing Mass uniformity beat quirky, slightly worn uniformity when the Gap overtook Goodwill in this hotly contested race. Eddie Bauer just barely lost to the Gap, proving that Missoula is urban enough to handle the presence of both stores. Most of Missoula, that is, since Quality Supply and Army Navy also got shout-outs.
Best Women's Clothing Everybody knows girls love shopping! It's true! There were tons of stores nominated, but in the end ladies just prefer the spendy elegance of The Bon. Once again, the Gap was a strong presence and Meridian also proved popular.
Best Thrift Store With a local glut in the second hand market, readers had a hard time choosing their favorite purveyor of distressed rags. However, Goodwill managed to send the others crying back to their vintage bowling shirts. If you have the time to sift through the racks, I highly recommend you check out Bargain Corner, in my opinion the cheapest of the bunch.
Best Lingerie I realize it's shocking, but the winner is Victoria's Secret! Two people voted for (gulp!) Goodwill and a few perverts preferred Fantasy, but I'm with the visionary who put Go Free, Man.
Best Jewelry Folks, this one was ugly. It seems readers couldn't decide whether to disregard their pocketbooks, but I believe it was with value in mind that they selected Rockin Rudy's as the gold-medal winner. Painless Steel came in second, presumably for their selection of body accoutrements. Barney Jette got the bronze.
Best Cosmetics When we want to find the finest in trampy face paint, the majority of us head for The Bon. Basically the only other place that was a contender was Dillard's. Mary Kay, that marauding collective of feminine sensibility, picked up four votes.
Best Bath Accessories Whether it's enormous textured sponges or delicately scented bath beads, voters agree Repose is the cat's ass. Bath & Body Works in the mall was a fave, but both of these places should watch for the increasingly popular Body Basics, home of the "special lotion."
Best Beauty Salon Whew, this category was a real cat fight, but in the end, Studio 2 had the sharpest claws. Sorella's and Tangles received plenty of votes as well. For my money, I visit Travis at Regis, who provides sparkling conversation to go with quality cuts.
Best Barber There were so many different nominations in this category, it's amazing a winner emerged. Main Street gains the title, but Indy distribution guru and all-around overseer Jeff Seaton got a healthy handful of votes too, probably because of his willingness to accept PBRs as payment.
Best Tattoo Parlor Altered Skin and Painless Steel scrapped hard in this very close race, so in my book they're both winners! (However, Painless Steel got more votes.) One gape voted for Jail, ha ha.
Goods & Services
Best Florist I hear they prefer to be known as "floral designers" now. Whatever. I'm sure they've been called a lot worse. But the fact of the matter remains, Bitterroot Flower Shop was once again the runaway favorite in this, um, field. Garden City Floral and The Flower Market also won some votes for Missoula's best "designer."
Best Hotel So your old battle-ax of a mother-in-law is coming town and you don't know where to stash her? My vote would be the basement. But enough about me. You folks opted for the DoubleTree as your favorite in-law storage facility, trailed rather predictably by Holiday Inn.
Best Bed & Breakfast It's recent remodel didn't keep Goldsmith's Bed & Breakfast from once again grabbing the gold as the Garden City's favorite B&B. As for some of the other suggestions we received-um, I don't think "B&B" stands for what you think it does. Look it up.
Best Antiques Missoula has a wealth of places to go cruising for hidden treasures-Antique Mall first among them. They nudged last year's contender, Third Street Antiques, into second place this time around. For our part, we voted for The Rolling Stones.
Best Tobacconist Nonsmokers be damned. Missoulians overwhelmingly sided with Bell Pipe & Tobacco Shoppe when it came to taking a bit o' smoke, with Worden's Market and the minimally named Cigarette Store pulling up the rear. I can hear them mewling for help already, them little clean-air advocates.
Best Tailor Heading up the Blowout Department this year was Custom Fashions, which tore ahead of other nominees and left their bobbins spinning, much like last year. Angelo's, for the record, was one of the few viable competitors.
Best Bookstore Fact & Fiction mounted a strong attack on standing champ Barnes & Noble, but, in the end, the chain store kept its top rank. The Book Exchange and The Bird's Nest also made respectable showings in the minds of local bibliophiles.
Best CD Selection Try to act surprised when we tell you that Rockin Rudy's swept the survey among music fans. There was much to be said for Ear Candy and Budget Tapes and CDs, too, each of which got plenty of votes among those who dig the rock 'n' roll music.
Best Shoe Store/Shoe Repair If anything exciting has ever happened that was in any way remotely connected to shoes, it was definitely this race. By the margin of one measly vote, Hide and Sole edged out Ogg's as your favorite place for footwear. Conversely, the contest among cobblers was somewhat less contentious, with Grizzly Boot kicking Lloyd's and Hide and Sole into submission as 'Zoola's favorite shoe repair shop.
Best Department Store Did you know that Missoula's The Bon is the longest-running department store this side of the Mississippi River? True story. It's been in business since 1865, mostly as Missoula Mercantile, but it's been around long enough to become something of an institution. Which is probably why they ran away with this year's Best Department Store award, leaving several mall and Reserve Street establishments in the dust.
Best Sporting Goods Did you vote for skis? Granola bars? Those fingerless gloves like the ones Bob Cratchett wore in A Christmas Carol? Well, we were looking for sporting stores, you quislings, not gear, and Bob Ward and Sons greased by Sportsman's Surplus as the best place to grab the goods. Sheesh.
Best Store for Home Electronics Tons of stores out Reserve Street way got mentions under this heading, but Future Shop walked away with the title. And, for the eight people who voted for Radio Shack, I have a question: Do they still make those orange, donut-shaped transistor radios that I had when I was a kid? And if I pay you, will you go in there and buy one for me?
Best Store for Home Appliances Vann's inaugurates this brand-new category by taking the prize as your favorite place for meeting those washing, drying, baking, spinning, slicing and dicing needs. 'Nuff said.
Best Hardware Store Quality Supply made a strong showing among Missoula's handyfolks, but in the end, Tremper Center's Ace Hardware cinched the deal, as usual. And one person voted for Fantasy Video here, and I think I know who it is. Go home, Mom, you're drunk!
Best Car Dealers-New/Used Jolly Wholesale retained the mantle as the best shills in the business. Fast on their tracks, though, was Bitterroot Motors, which got their own honors as Missoula's best new car dealership.
Best Auto Repair Always trust your car to the men who quote William Wordsworth in their ads. Kent Bros. kept an iron grip on their long-standing claim to being the Garden City's favorite garage. Auto Clinic puttered across the finish line minutes later to claim second place.
Best Furniture Wagners Home Furnishings took the gold as the best folks for filling your apartment, but The Living Room wasn't lacking for spunk this year, taking a nice, shiny silver.
Best Financial Institution Mighty franchises collided, as corporate banks battled to the death. But none of them won. In Fact, none even came close. The home-grown Missoula Federal Credit Union won the vast majority of votes this year. Millenium paranoiacs were also at work, though, since the matress and the mason jar in the yard both made a fair showing.
Best Travel Agency This town wasn't big enough for the two of them. In a close match last year's winner, Budget Travel, was unseated by the upstarts at Wide World of travel, making them your new preferred place to go, when you want to go outta town.
Best Pawn Shop Damn the tuxedos, full speed ahead. When you're going low-rent, you gotta do it right, and this year, like many others, you said that Liquid Assets is the best place to go for hocking and such.
Best Toy Store The difficult-to-say Pufferbellys rallied close to the top, but ut was beaten out by the difficult-to-say-with-a-straigth-face Joint Effort, which retains its years-long reign as the kingdom of fun. And then of course there was Fantasy Video making its foreseeable strong showing. You crazy kids

Baby's first routine.
The title of this video is Leon Discovers His Eyebrows. He also discovers that his parents are big fans of physical comedy, as well as the art of working a room. Or at least a bathroom. His newly discovered eyebrow gag kills for a solid 35 seconds. He loses the audience around the 40-second mark, but by then it's clear that the bit is solid.
The most impressive thing about Leon's routine is that, unlike a lot of other babies who do eyebrow material, Leon works clean.

Spider communities as tools in monitoring reclaimed limestone quarry landforms

Spider communities are sensitive to a wide range of environmental factors and are potential ecological indicators which may be effective in the assessment and monitoring of restored ecosystems. One restoration technique of disused limestone quarry faces, landform replication, attempts to create landforms and ecosystems similar to those found on natural dalesides. Vegetation surveys indicate that communities developing on landform replications are more closely allied to natural dalesides than are those of naturally recolonised disused quarries. Assessment of the spider communities of three landform replication sites, a natural limestone daleside and seven naturally recolonised disused limestone quarries, using DECORANA and TWINSPAN, produced differing patterns of sites than those observed through the assessment of the vegetation communities. DECORANA assessment based on vascular plant species composition highlights the similarities between daleside and reclaimed site communities. The sensitivity of spider communities to vegetation structure and extent of bare ground highlights differences between sites and provides evidence of important differences in vegetation community development particularly in relation to cover and structure. Implications for the assessment of reclamation and restoration techniques are discussed.

All Aboard the Huskies Train
University of Connecticut basketball fans will have a train of their own.
The men's team is slated to play Iowa State at Madison Square Garden this Friday, marking the first time in over 50 years an NCAA tournament game has been played at the Garden. (The proximity of MSG to U Conn fans is pushing ticket prices through the roof — the Hartford Courant reports Huskies tickets are being listed at $3,000 on one site.) Wisely, New York's MTA — no doubt predicting trainfulls of rambunctious fans heading into the city — will be running an extra New Haven Line train to accommodate them.
According to the MTA, the train will depart New Haven at 4:15 p.m., make a stop in Bridgeport at 4:36 p.m. and arrive in Grand Central Terminal (GCT) at 6:00 p.m. — in plenty of time for the 7:27 p.m. tip-off. In addition, extra cars will be assigned to several trains departing New Haven between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., especially the 3:50 p.m. train from New Haven. The MTA says it's adding 1,050 seats to New Haven Line service on Friday.
"Both UConn Huskies basketball teams are again taking the NCAA tournament by storm and gaining the nation's attention. There will no doubt be a large contingent of Connecticut fans traveling to New York City to cheer for the men on Friday," Connecticut Governor Malloy said. "It's time to turn MSG into a home game for our Huskies."
After the game, Metro-North will add cars to New Haven-bound trains, where possible, on trains departing GCT between 9:30 p.m. and 11:22 p.m.

Is sugar bad for your heart?
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., January 29, 2010 - 9:57am
Sugar is OK in and of itself. As long as you are eating lots of other stuff. I was introduced to vegetarianism from a friend who was almost scientific about it but young vegans in Orlando pat themselves on the back for an unhealthy diet If you are eating 850 calories from sugar and eating only 1600 calories then that leaves 750 calories left. This comes to 35 grams of protein using the beans and rice(maybe). Unfortunately, pregnant and nursing females need 70 grams of protein. Hairdressers must notice when their 18 year old clients end up with hair falling out. Even if they are "partiers" and not pregnant alcohol provides calories like sugar does and zero protein. Some might consider 1600 calories low calorie but a five foot two female with a deskjob can sometimes gain weight on more. http://bit.ly/5jARKt (or put in eating on $1 in amazon) for actual costs,calories and nutrition

The logo for Star Wars Weekends 2010 has just been released...
The logo for Star Wars Weekends 2010 has just been released...
I think its pretty awesome! I'll bet the kids are gonna love it! and thats what it is all about.
Love it! Great to see Boba getting top billing.
Blasphemy!! ESB with spats??? BLASPHEMY I SAY!!!!
I don't think it's ESB. The cape, besides being on the wrong side, is more of a dark green and the left gauntlet has a boxed flame thrower. It looks more like a stylized mash-up.
Despite the "imperfections" it's a cool logo! I love it!
Cool Logo. I might be seeing things or does he have four fingers on each hand?
I dig it, thanks for posting Rev

Winter tires sticky thread for 2012-2013 winter season
--The basics :
Get snow tires appropriate to your climate and driving style. If you don't see much snow during the winter, and you like to drive/corner fast on cold dry roads then look into the H-rated or V-rated "high performance" winter tires like the Bridgestone Blizzak LM60, Dunlop Winter Sport 3D or Michelin PA3.
If your area gets heavier snow then look into a more aggressive snow tire. Among the best of this type are the Blizzak WS-70, Michelin XIce XI2, and Continental Extreme Winter Contact. Winter tires like these will offer the best in snow and ice traction, but will give up some dry road responsiveness over the more performance - oriented H/V rated snow tires to get that additional winter traction.
You may want to lean towards one of the more aggressive snow tires like those listed above if one or more of the following are true :
-Your geographical area gets heavy snowfall and/or lake effect snow
-You are often driving on packed snow and ice
-You are just willing to give up some dry grip and steering response for maximum safe winter traction
-These tires are for a newer driver or for a driver who needs much more confidence when driving in winter conditions.
Choosing between these two categories may be difficult and is mostly a personal preference choice for the trade off between snow traction versus dry road handling. However it is important to keep in mind what your worst conditions will be as that is the time when you'll need the traction the most! Driving on a dry road is pretty easy, it is when the weather gets rough that things get more challenging.
--New/Updated this season and reminders from last season :
It was been an another uneventful pre-season this year with very few new models of winter tires being released. In some sizes , the Michelin XI3 is replacing the Michelin XI2. The tread pattern appears to be very similar between the two. There are a bit more independent tread blocks so I would expect a modest improvement in snow/ice traction from the previous model with a slight step down in dry road handling. The Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 will be phased in to replace the Pilot Alpin PA3 in a few sizes this season. For this year, due to a shortage of Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tires in the 225/40R18 Dunlop has substituted their new SP Winter Sport 4D that is now available in Europe. While its a one-off size this winter season, we anticipate receiving more SP Winter Sport 4D sizes in the 2013-2014 winter season for next year. Available in 225/40R18 only for this winter season.
Like last year, we are also seeing some winter tire models being discontinued or simply not being produced this season. If we a more severe winter (unlike like last year) then we could lead to some early shortages in some sizes. Of particular concern is size 225/40R18 which is down to just a handful of options.
A couple seasons ago the new Blizzak LM60 replaced the old Blizzak LM25. In the past the older Blizzak LM25 and the popular Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tires were considered very equal to each other in snow traction and in dry road handling/cornering and were the tires of choice in this category. The redesigned LM60 is moves the balance closer to the snow traction side of the equation by using the more aggressive tread pattern of the WS60 but with a compound and construction of a high performance snow tire like the LM25/Michelin PA3. The end result will be much improved snow and ice traction over the LM25/Michelin PA3 with only a small sacrifice in steering response and dry cornering. This tire will be an ideal choice for someone having trouble deciding between the high performance snow tires that sacrifice a lot of snow traction and the Q/R rated snow tires that trade off too much in handling and dry grip. I feel the LM60 ideally suits many drivers needs in this forum well for an ideal balance of snow/ice traction while still keeping acceptable dry handling and grip for the non-snowy days.
Two new colors of two very popular winter wheels are now available. The European made Rial Salerno wheels can now be had in anthracite (silver is still available as well). The cost effective Sport Edition A7 will soon be available in black. Note that we do not yet have these but are hoping to see them by the end of October.
Will 17" wheels fit over the brakes on my 335i? What about Sport or M-Sport models?
While most 17" wheels do NOT fit the 335i, there are some models of wheels we carry that will clear the brakes and work well. Two of the more popular choices have been the Sport Edition A7 and Rial Salerno. View the complete list of 17" that fit, and current prices here : http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=BC5&...nter/index.jsp . Just enter the year and model of car, select 17" packages.
Do I have to buy runflat winter tires or can I use non runflat tires? What about TPMS sensors?
Its completely up to you. You can use either run flat or non runflat tires for winter. The runflat versions tend to cost more and ride a bit more stiffly, but not to the point where most would find them harsh as these are much softer riding than summer tires. Keep in mind that the vehicle has no spare tire. You can search the forum for possible solutions like a spare tire kit (we don't sell one, sorry), but most using non runflats either simply run without a spare or use one of their summer wheels/tires in the trunk, or a can of fix-a-flat.
Sensors are available through us, roughly $50 per corner including valve stems as of this post. If you purchase them at the same time as your tire wheel package, we will mount them in the wheels for no charge. You can activate your sensors by following simple instructions in your owners manual. Please note that due to liability issues and recent NHTSA documents, if you do not purchase TPMS sensors with a tire and wheel package you will need to answer 'yes' when asked if you plan to purchase sensors locally.
Which 17" winter wheels accept BMW center caps? How can I get BMW caps added to my order?
The Sport Edition A7, Elbrus I08 and Rial Salerno are the three most popular and readily available winter wheels that accept BMW center caps. I can include BMW center caps on your order for $15 each - simply refer to "Gary/add caps15" as your previous contact at the end of your online order, or call in the order to me directly.
I'm just going to mount tires on my factory 18" Sport wheels because I have aftermarket wheels for summer or just don't want to buy another set of wheels. Can I use 225/40R18 on all four wheels even though the rear is now 255/35R18?
Yes, you can use 225/40R18 on both the front 8" wheels and the rear 8.5" OE wheels with no problem. This is actually very common to do. Eliminating the stagger in this way works very well for winter and results in better winter traction.
There are so many choices it is overwhelming! What are most doing? What do you recommend for a good package?
I would recommend 17" for winter use on the 335i using a 225/45R17 tire size on all four corners. There are handful of wheels we carry that will clear the brakes and work well. Three of the more popular choices have been the Sport Edition A7, Elbrus I08, and Rial Salerno. For maximum winter traction, consider the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-70 or Michelin XiceXi2. For more of a balance between winter traction and dry road handling/cornering check out the Bridgestone Blizzak LM60, or the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3.
--A final word of advice : Don't wait too long. Ordering early when most products are still available lets you choose what you want to buy rather than being forced to settle for what is left over. Best to be ready with products in hand before it snows so that you can put them on when you are ready rather than waiting for a shipment to arrive after the first snow. We should have most inventory available in early October. Tires and wheels purchased together are mounted and balanced at no charge to make changeover easy.
Here is a direct link to the winter tires area :
Don't forget to refer to 'Gary/Fanatics' when you order online so that I can look over the order and get the forum credit for the sale.

Fun times.
A cookie and/or candy jar that makes perfect sense.
Love cupcakes, but need something bigger?? Use this large cupcake pan to make one big huge cupcake!!!
I actually just got this as a hostess gift and I FREAKING LOVE IT.
Turn the boring morning and nightly routine into a party. That's right! A party in your mouth with Cupcake Floss! Be careful though, the delicious frosting flavor might turn you into a flossaholic!

Use these to avoid a sticky baking disaster. Nothing is more devastating than sublime looking cupcakes that will only come out of the tray in pieces. Tragic.
Another great ice cream maker because who doesn't love ice cream??? Comes with a recipe book and a built in cone holder!
if there is someone you should trust when it comes to chocolate, it's the South Americans. start stocking up on comfort foods and drink for winter now. yum!
While I don't like this quite as much as the girl in the picture seems to, I do think it will be a cute addition to my 7-yr-old's room. Available in Vanilla and Strawberry.
I simply cannot buy these. I would not be able to resist the temptation to taste one.
I LOVE cupcakes! And if you don't there's something seriously wrong with you

Vintage trailer
I guess this would be the ultimate secondhand purchase. I'm looking at a '59 Terry trailer, 15'. It's pretty much all original and in working condition, the marker lights are in tact, the interior is fair-good. Outside is faded, but dh can paint it. Hassome warping in the interior roof where there was a leek at one time...not leeking now. Dh thinks I am nuts. I NEED a project. It's cheap and right up my alley as far as retro redo. And it was born in 59, just like me. For some reason I am enamered with this thing!
Anyone have a vintage trailer??? I'm not talking total rehab and restore. More like, clean it up, make it kitchy and fun to MY tastes.

Those are all so cute!! Would you use it for travel? I can see why this would be a perfect project and not too overwhelming!! Let us kknow how it goes!!08-26-2010, 06:41 AM #6
We have a 15' travel trailer but it's not a Terry, it's a Sunline. We paid around $1500 for it but the inside was well kept and it all worked. Even the "bathroom" section. The little stove and fridge have come in handy when my larger appliances have gone on the blink. And believe it or not, we've used it as a guest room! LOL It sleeps two perfectly. And we hook it up for water and electricity and our guests can have cold drinks and food and also make their coffee and such in the mornings.They still need to use our bathroom tho. LOL Shoot, I even leave all the camping stuff in there and if they want to cook eggs and stuff they can!
We have another small one that is from the 60's that we've practically gutted to remodel. We did leave the original sink and stove area. That one is called a Scotty Travel trailer. I'd really like to get that one finished so we can have another guest house LOL!
Seriously stink, they don't make stuff as well built now as they did back then. If we had the oportunity and didn't already have the two we do, we'd be jumping on buying one that old. The stuff now-a-days they make don't compare. Pretty and shiny can hide a bunch of poor craftsmanship.08-26-2010, 07:07 AM #7

We bought a little Scotty also, for 100 bucks! It was a 60's model, and had been lived in. We got it because the fellow owed one of those payday loan companies and they were after him!It was a scream getting home- we had to wire the door shut, the tires were paper thin, we had a flat, it was all over the road! I will NEVER forget it. It was one of our hare brained schemes, gonna fix it up.Yeah, right We wound up trading it for a summer of weekly lawn service, so we came out smelling like a rose.

Waiting for Lefty and Other Plays
by Clifford Odets
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Clifford Odets was a well-regarded communist playwright of the first half of the century, whom I believe was blacklisted in the McCarthy era. These plays are colored to an extent by his political leanings, but on the whole they are compassionate and sympathetic portrayals of the common people of the land struggling to find happiness and prosperity in a system geared against them. "Rocket To the Moon" is probably his most mature and successful play here, with an unlikely hero emerging at the conclusion. "Golden Boy" is also quite good. The others are more strongly flavored by Odets' politics, somewhat to their detriment.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802132200, Paperback)
Book jacket/back: Clifford Odets is considered the most gifted American social protest dramatist of the thirties and certainly one of America's great playwrights. Odets was born in Philadelphia in 1906 and raised in the Bronx, New York. After joining the Group Theatre in 1931, he wrote his six best and most famous plays, included in this volume.

new Ruud 5 ton furnace, red LED on - normal?
I recently installed a Ruud furnace model #RGPR-12EARMR 125M (2STAGE W/ICM 80%) It replaced a long running 5 ton furnace in the same system. I haven't tested the gas burning parts yet, just using the blower for A/C. The installation manual is here:
It has been operating for a week or so without problems. When the power is on, there are two greed LEDs lit on the control board. When the blower is running, a red LED (labeled CFM on the circuit board trace) is mainly on and winks off about once a second. I cannot find any documentation about the red light, and Ruud/Rheem tech support gets huffy when I call to ask.
Another HVAC tech mentioned that a red light is normal on some units and a sign of problems on other units, so you just have to look it up to know the answer. Does anyone know the meaning of the red CFM LED on this Ruud furnace?
Thanks a lot!
Check this link....
Thanks for that reference! The other trouble light patterns are in the installation manual under troubleshooting, but I couldn't find that CFM LED pattern at all.
Now I know it's not going to self-destruct on me...

Harry Kitten and Tucker Mouse (1986)
by George Selden
No current Talk conversations about this book.
George Selden introduced Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse to the world in A Cricket in Times Square. I read the book back in elementary school, years before I started keeping track of my reading. I can remember borrowing every single book my school library had that featured these beloved characters.
Recently I saw a copy of Harry Kitten and Tucker Mouse by George Selden on display at my local library. Feeling nostalgic I brought it home.
This one tells of the first meeting between Harry and Tucker, when Harry is just a kitten. They are both trying to survive in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan but haven't found their special place yet.
It's a cute fill-in-the-blanks type story. Anyone who has read A Cricket in Times Square will see how things have to end. Nonetheless, it's interesting to see how they got there and why it ended up being perfect for them.
Do you have a friend who lives on the edge? Well I do. Hi I am harry kitten me and my beast friend tucker mouse get stuck in the empire state building if you want to know if I make it out our not you have to read Harry Kitten and Tucker Mouse.
#66, 2006
This is a sweet book, one which I don't think I read as a child. It's a "prequel" to "The Cricket in Times Square," which tells the story of how Harry the Cat and Tucker Mouse met, and came to be friends. My son and I read it together today, taking turns doing the character voices.

But more important than caliber is the quality of the gun.
I know which caliber to use is very controversial, but what I've been wondering is which caliber is least likely to failure to feed. I have a hypothesis that the smaller round (being the round it self would be responsible for the failure) is the least likely to jam. Than again this is just that a hypothesis. I was wondering if anybody has some insight that they could share on the issue. Thanks in advance guys
But more important than caliber is the quality of the gun.
My Kimber .45s ran super, my Kimber .40s were horrible, My 5" 1911s have been flawless, my Llama MiniMax .45 was a jam-o-matic. All of my Paras ran ultra reliably in three differnent sizes in .45 and .40...
I could go on and on (too late) but to reiterate "the smaller round (being the round it self would be responsible for the failure) is the least likely to jam" is incorrect.
What's your hypothesis based on?
I have had more FTF's with a 22 than any 9mm or 40 that I have used.
Also VAMarine and JamesNM make a good point - I purchased a new black rifle 6.8mm and tried to run some rounds through it standard Remington and FTF's. Come to find out the rifle was set up to fire military rounds which is OK, a little hotter than commercial stuff - I changed out the buffer spring, reduced the buffer from an H3 to an H2, and no more problems.
Point is it is not always the ammo or the caliber that can lead to FTF's.
FTF's can also happen if you're not used to a gun's recoil. For example, the first gun my girlfriend ever shot was a Sig. First shot was fine, next shot the gun jammed. Cleared it, fired, first shot good then another jam. This went on a few times...she figured it was the gun, so she switched out to the Beretta 92 I was shooting, which was bigger so the recoil was not quite as great. She didn't have any issues with it.
What happened was as the Sig was kicking back, it kicked so much that the slide was being prevented from going all the way back (due to being tilted back and hitting her wrist), therefore it wasn't charging the weapon properly and the next round jammed. So, it wasn't anything to do with the ammo or the gun itself, it was just that she couldn't handle the recoil.
Hopefully I explained that good enough that y'all understand what I'm talking about
Ok, so I'm wrong. I never said I was right. If I thought I was right I wouldn't have asked for insight. I wanted to know what you all thought. Thanks Thanatos
I don't think there is a size vs. reliability equation that will stand up. Other than most all 22 pistols are picky about what they like to shoot and even that wont stand up by brand of weapon or ammo.
The type of weapon will though. Any weapon built to really tight tolerances will have reliability issues. This is why target models make bad carry weapons. Tighter fit means less places doe dust, dirt to go and that will more often than not cause a problem. Combat weapons are built more loose and therefore can be more reliable.
So when looking for less FTF type issues it's much smarter to look at the type of weapon and what it was built for. Where caliber comes into play is more of a what you as the shooter are comfortable shooting. Or what you shoot best. Some don't like the snappy 40 round because..well..it's kind of a snappy recoil. It's a higher pressure round and it gets moving pretty quick. A 9mm is also higher pressure but not as snappy. The 45ACP is not a high pressure round and moves pretty slow in comparison and it's recoil is a good bit different than the 9mm or 40. I think the 357 Sig round was built more for better feed being it's bottle necked case. But is is a bit more to hold on to than any of the other three mentioned.
So find the caliber you like best. Then look for the model of weapon that will suit your needs. If you want it to work no matter what then you will be looking for a combat weapon. If you want to make raged holes at 50 yards then a target model is more up your alley. But that target model will not be able to push as many wounds through it in one outing than the combat model will. There's just more places for the crap to get into.
It's neither size nor platform... it's both. I'll break it down.
If it were simply that smaller was better, try threading a needle someday with speed and repeatability. The size is just part of the problem. There's the little bugger of a problem that arises call GEOMETRY. Take something that has a small diameter but is long in comparison to that diameter, like a broomstick. Now, take the broomstick by the end (like the base of a bullet is pushed into the chamber) and try to poke that broomstick into a hole in the wall that is juuuuust a little bigger than the broomstick. If you have a steady arm and plenty of distance available between you and the wall to maneuver the broomstick, you shouldn't have a problem. If you shorten the distance available between you and the wall, you have more change for error.
Same thing goes for large diameters in comparison to their overall length. Once you try to move something long and skinny or fat and short, the geometry becomes more on an issue. 9mm is about in the middle, it feeds well in longer actions, shorter actions, pretty much anything (why did Glock have so much initial success with the 9mm still viewed as the pinacle of their pistols).
Sure, size matters, the radio reminds us all of that every day. On the other hand, the platform has a whole lot to do with the issue as well. Mainly on the length of the action. Longer action pistols have less worries as the rounds are stripped from the magazine at nearly parallel to the bore, whereas shorter action pistols have to get 4 monkeys and a girl with small hands to get a round into the chamber. The rounds come out of the magazines at such a steep angle that they have to have a lot of force behind them (recoil spring) in order to heave them into the chamber. So a big fat .45 round in a short action pistol (3") is going to have to do some serious geometric gymnastics to get those rounds into the chamber. That's why people who train defensive pistols don't recommend the 1911 pistol in anything but 5" for the most part. Sure, other can be made to work, but the 5" works best. Same goes for Kahr's. You wanna carry a Kahr, get it in 9mm, they got that one correct right out of the box. Their .45's seems to be too short to reliably feed with hard use.
I hope I didn't cause more confusion there, but it has more to do with geometry AND size than it does just size alone... ask your wife.

Space Siege - Review @ ActionTrip
by Dhruin, 2008-08-29 00:08:50
5.8/10 is the score for Space Siege in ActionTrip's review:
To my disappointment, Space Siege falls short as an action RPG, failing to deliver the kind of entertainment we expect from a talented team such as GPG. The action remains repetitive throughout most the game and the RPG elements, quite frankly, feel unsatisfactory. You continue to blast your way through hordes of similar-looking enemies. Through it all, you collect an endless amount of material needed to upgrade weapons. In short you'll be bored after you've finished the first few chapters and things are likely to stay that way later on.

Stocks lost further ground on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Wednesday, hurt by selling on the back of the yen's early strength and a fall in crude oil prices, with investors sitting on the fence ahead of a U.S. monetary policy decision.
The 225-issue Nikkei average fell 142.62 points, or 0.83 percent, to end at 16,974.45. On Tuesday, the key market gauge sagged 116.68 points.
The Topix index of all first-section issues dropped 11.58 points, or 0.84 percent, to 1,360.50, after falling 7.87 points the previous day.
Tokyo stocks met with selling from the outset of Wednesday's trading, affected by the yen's ascent against the dollar and lower crude oil futures in New York.
After the initial selling ran its course, however, the Nikkei average trimmed losses thanks to buying on dips on hopes for a further rebound in stock prices, brokers said.
A wait-and-see mood intensified in the afternoon before the results of the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting come out later on Wednesday, brokers said.
Selling was limited in the afternoon thanks to some buyback of beaten-down issues, reflecting a halt to the yen's strengthening.
Investor sentiment was also supported by expectations that the Japanese government may postpone again the planned consumption tax hike from 8 percent to 10 percent, now scheduled for April 2017, after a renowned U.S. economist indicated a negative stance toward the tax hike at a meeting in Tokyo on Wednesday of a government-appointed panel to discuss global economic conditions, brokers said.
Meanwhile, most analysts believe that the Fed will put off an interest rate hike at the latest meeting in view of the recent lackluster economic situation in the United States.
"Investors are paying close attention to (Fed Chair Janet) Yellen's news conference and the FOMC statement. They want to know the pace of expected interest rate hikes," said Hiroaki Hiwada, strategist at Toyo Securities Co. Yellen is slated to hold a news conference after the meeting.
