Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/5/2014 (1135 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The current generation is constantly hearing about the importance of protecting our environment and with the threat of impending climate changes on the horizon, it's obvious why.
According to Statistics Canada, in 2008, 26 million tonnes of Canadian waste ended up in landfills or was incinerated. Sounds fine, right? After all, it will only take several hundred years for some of it to decompose.
Actually, there's even more to it than that. The decomposition of organic wastes produces a gas that is composed primarily of methane, a greenhouse gas that is found to be a large contributor to climate change. These gas emissions from landfills across the country account for approximately 20 per cent of all Canadian methane emissions.
With these statistics in mind, École secondaire Neelin High School is taking a huge leap in the right direction and striving to protect the planet with one of its new programs. After almost a year of research, planning and preparation, Neelin's Eco Club has finally launched a composting system for the school. The goal is to reduce the amount the waste produced by the school, utilize the resources at hand and show the world just how simple it can be to preserve our environment.
Likewise, a similar pilot program has taken place at Crocus Plains since the beginning of this school year, but without any certainty about when the project would be approved divisionwide, Neelin's Eco Club decided to begin working out the kinks on its own.
After receiving a monetary grant from Learning for a Sustainable Future, the group worked with school staff and other community members to find the most efficient and successful system that would suit everyone's needs. After much hard work and anticipation, the school is finally able to begin the program.
Additionally, starting in September, our cafeteria began using compostable plates. However, even in a school the size of Neelin, the amount of extra brown material that will be produced on a daily basis due to these plates will be far too much for either of our two large bins to handle. As a result, the school is prepared to collect the dishes separately and offer them to the public. After all, many home compost bins rarely have enough brown material to compensate for their food waste. The school hopes to receive support from the community in this way until a better solution is devised. Any excess material will have to be taken to the landfill.
In the long run, this composting strategy is merely a part of an even larger agenda that I and other members of the Eco Club have been outlining since the beginning of the school year.
During the summer, in an expansion of the staff parking lot, our school lost several trees and avenging them has always been a high priority on our list. On top of that, the group is working to organize a school garden that could be fertilized with our compost and from which fruits and vegetables could be used in our canteen. Furthermore, we plan to look into landscaping and making better use of the school's green space.
The group intends to spend the remainder of this school year finding creative ways to educate students and staff on the rules and benefits of composting in the hopes of making this project as sustainable as possible.

Although Alachua County is not on the coast, we are still very much at risk from tropical storms and hurricanes.
In fact during the last 30 years, inland flooding has been responsible for more than half the deaths associated with
tropical cyclones in the United States. Hurricane season lasts from June 1 until November 30 each year.
It is important to note that Alachua County will never be placed under a Hurricane Watch or Warning. Hurricane
Watches/Warnings are issued by the Nation Hurricane Center only for the coast. Instead, the National Weather Service

Money Wiring Computers Replete With Malware
According to the Spanish software vendor Panda Security, the business of wiring money with computer viruses is spreading wide. In its report that the firm released on December 11, 2008, it revealed that nearly 60% of the computers engaged in the 300 money transfers and under the company's survey contained malware of immense danger.
Besides, some malware that Panda Security found involves keyloggers that monitor every keystroke of the user and other kinds of malicious software that empower hackers with backdoor access to the infected systems.

Swift Surprise
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
"I was home alone in my room one day when I started singing Taylor Swift's "Love Story." All of a sudden I heard my new phone beep — I picked it up and realized that I accidentally had recorded myself singing. But even worse, I had sent it to someone! I had been texting this guy I had a crush on earlier in the day, and decided to text him again, saying "I think I just sent a recording of me singing to someone, haha, embarrassing." All he said was, "You sent it to me…" We haven't talked since!"

Nicole Cooke yesterday hailed the formation of a British professional team as "the biggest step forward in women's sport in this country for many, many years".
Twice a winner of the women's Tour de France and one of Britain's best hopes for Olympic success in Beijing this summer, Cooke, 24, leads a squad of 10 women and two men. They will ride bikes designed by Chris Boardman, a gold medallist in Barcelona in 1992. Dave Brailsford, the performance director of British cycling, will be the general manager.
"This will be the first-ever British professional women's team and I am very, very excited," Cooke said. "When I was younger, following my dream meant not being in Britain, but being based abroad – it certainly wasn't ideal. This is something I want to make the most of. I can train with my team-mates and, if I can help them to learn faster than I did, it will make for a very strong team."
Brailsford added: "There are 18 gold medals available in cycling in the Olympics and we have 13 realistic podium opportunities. For London 2012, we are aiming for 16 out of 18."

Auditions for Venus Written by Pulitzer Prize
winner and MHC alumna Suzan-Lori Parks '85 and directed
by Julia Whitworth, Venus is based on the true story of Saartjie
Baartman, a southern African woman who was lured to Europe in
1810 and exhibited nude in a London circus on account of her
(purportedly) sizeable posterior. Her keepers renamed her the "Hottentot
Venus." In
Venus, Parks does not simply tell Baartman's tragic story;
rather, she deconstructs the act of viewing itself in order to
examine racist and sexist acts of objectification and stereotyping.
The play's deliberately ironic tone and considerable humor
create a disturbing and thought-provoking political vaudeville.
Venus will be cast according to principles of diversity and multiculturalism.
People of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, and physical
disabilities are welcome to audition, regardless of formal theatre
experience. There are roles for 2–6 men and 6–10

On the surface, the Paddle In The Park Contest is a chance to find a hidden paddle in a park, somewhere in Ontario. But that's just a small, incidental aspect of this summer-long event. The contest was conceived as way to re-enforce the idea that being in Nature is truly a rewarding experience – or like what we call being "Out There". To do this, we listed at least 9 rewards then added another: a tangible representation of all those rewards in the form of a handcrafted Badger® canoe paddle and other gear and prizes.
People had a lot of fun following the contest and looking for clues, because when each paddle was found we drew a random winner for a prize package. 2013 was a huge success, with 2014 being even bigger and better with more paddles, and more paddle hiders. In 2015 we opened up the contest to even more outdoor enthusiasts by way of the Paddle Points Contest, where people uploaded camping photos for a chance to win a Nova Craft Canoe and even more gear and prizes. This year, we have even more rewarding surprises planned - all in celebration of nature. So grab your maps, your gear, and get "Out There" this summer. You will definitely be rewarded for it!

Want to know how popular Facebook likes are? According to new statistics we've collected (and will be rolling out shortly in an upgraded version of our statistics tools) just under 65 million Facebook users are liking things on a daily basis through Facebook. This is according to self-reported statistics from Facebook which until now have not been published. While more than 20 million users interact with Facebook for iPhone, this is currently the most active interaction on Facebook.
While Facebook has yet to reveal the number of users that comment on things daily, this statistic is the closest representation we've found to the total number of users which log in to Facebook on a daily basis. Facebook claims that "50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day", and given that the number of active users is rapidly approaching 500 million, that would suggest that approximately 26 percent of users are liking items once they login to Facebook each day.
As Facebook provides more insights into user activity through their self-reported application statistics, we are slowly learning more information about how users are interacting with the site. Given that the number of users "liking" items on Facebook far surpasses any other interaction on the site, it's not surprising to see Facebook's continued focus on the "Like".
We will be publishing more data over the coming weeks as we prepare to launch new statistics tools!

At Home
It's easy to dye at home if you do a single process, which covers grays, and you vary only slightly from your natural shade. For highlights or a dramatic change (from brown to blond, for example), see a professional. Before applying color, dab petroleum jelly around your hairline to prevent staining. Start a timer (set to the recommended time) when you begin coloring. When it rings, rinse hair all at once.

Employers here in SE Asia are either more than skeptical or down right rude when it comes to interviewing staff. First, they would insult you by saying didn't you know us before from the recent change in website? Second, they would say how would you improve the fortunes of our organization in terms of ranking in the world? Third, they would also scold you for coming for the interview and make you feel very small and uncomfortable. Really, they tend to forget when times get better they would be blacklisted by candidates and future business associates who went through the mill.

This week's AUTObiography features the first Eos we've seen in the pages of A/b.
Sweet ride! Wish there were more pics or at least some of the top up/down and the trunk closed.
Those quad tips look mean.
That looks great!
Bet it sounds awesome too!
Thanks to Vortex for featuring the car. Sorry we didn't have any pics with the top down. The day we took these it was raining. Made for a long day. We will try and post some when the weather gets better. Just put the 19's back on for the summer so we'll do it soon.
I like the exhaust and the wheels, but I am not a fan of the ground kit. Too busy IMO.
Overall though, great car!
Decent-looking car, but I really wish people would put as much effort into the bio as they have with their cars.
This seems like more of an advertisement for her husband's company than a bio.
Eos looks dope, although I'm not a huge fan of the front bumper but that exhaust looks bad ass
Nice ride. I'd love to see some pics of the sound system/trunk build...
That was far and beyond the worst interview I've ever seen featured in an AUTObiography.
does anybody know what body kit is it ?
I too would like to see pics of the trunk and maybe an audio clip.
Nice to see an Eos in the Autobiography section.
What more would you like to see as far as the trunk build out goes? The entire build out is in the picture we have shown. The goal was not to give up to much trunk space. She still gets groceries and halls two kids with the car. I don't know if I have any of the actual build. I look and if I do I'll post them
The one picture from the back with the trunk open does not really show what space is left in the trunk when the top is down.
I'll try and steal the car from my wife and get some more pictures for you. I can tell you the enclosure only comes out at the bottom 10-11" and about 8" on the top. The original goal was to have access to the spare tire but that's not possible due to the bottom of the tire well coming up into the center of the spare. The enclosure comes out over the spare so you can't lift up the tire. Other than that she still has enough space for luggage,etc. We took a road trip last summer after we finished with our two daughters and we had enough room for luggage with the top up. Even without the enclosure there wouldn't have been enough room for luggage we had with the top down.

Is cultural permission—- it's okay to have plastic surgery, it's okay to have sex, it's okay to flaunt your wealth—really just a transmogrified form of repression rather than the liberation it's purported to be? Are the forms of liberation consumerism promises typically "false" liberations, or is the experience of freedom always authentic in the mind of the person experiencing it? When retailers aren't promising you the opportunity to be an individual, they are often promising you some form of enhanced freedom—freedom and individuality being the twin pillars of post-war American ideology (just ask Milton Friedman). These promises often take paradoxical forms; they assuage the anxiety they simultaneousy provoke, like all successful ads must: stir up a dilemma and then offer the solution to it, a la Listerine's brilliant discovery of "halitosis." The idea of freedom, of individuality as well, are easily detatched from the experience of these things, especially when it's alleged to be available in reified form, with no active participation by the consumer required. These reified forms of the treasured values may function as their opposite in practice—an object that symbolizes freedom instead of freedom itself, a consumer choice that represents individuality instead of personal fulfillment itself. And pursiung these objects instead of the values keeps us searching in the wrong arena—in the buyosphere instead of the public sphere, in the mall rather than city hall. The effort it requires to realize freedom and individuality may in fact be beyond many of us who have been raised within a consumer culture: We are bred to prefer convenience and celebrate laziness and doing nothing rather than the difficulties that come with perpetually testing reality and questioning authorities as one must to realize freedom and individuality. Freedom at an individual level seems less a matter of entrusting to the magical invisible hand of the marketplace and passively reaping its reward than accepting that the absence of any mitigating factors hemming in the competitiveness unleashed by market worship requires one to be always alert, always defensive, always paranoid, always negating (being happy is not being free), resisting the attempts made to gull you or worse, cater to you and produce ersatz experiences for you. In the creepy marketing book The Experience Economy (which I don't recommend anyone read—it's about as exciting as a PowerPoint presentation and written in that deranged tone of bogus optimism that reeks of cynicism that is common to all management tomes) the authors encourage retailers and maufacturers to concentrate on pitching their products as experiences—the brand should conjure a lifestyle, it shouldn't be a mere guarantee of quality or distinctiveness—in hopes of extending the power of brands into consumers' memories and thus make anything we can remember a branded phenomenon. If people are going to remember things, someone should be able to profit from that and if memory is a form of media playing inside one's head, advertisers should be able to capitalize on it and embed promotional materials there. But these phony experiences, the latest manifestation of what Daniel Boorstin in >The Image dubbed pseudo-events, make the effort required to have any other sort of experience that mush greater. By packaging experience, the unpackaged variety becomes rarer, more elusive; it becomes more and more tempting to accept what is alreadt prepared for you whether or not it corresponds to your inclination. You are much more malleable than the world around you, so you change to suit what's there. Interaction with the commercial world of "experiences" thus pulls us further away from whatever ontological self might have existed while all the time promising to actualize that self. What happens instead is that the self most convenient to the operation of the experience economy is produced in all of us.

I love this company!!! We tried quite a few companies over the years. Then I found "Tweet Angels" on Linkedin. I love the photo of the CEO with his son, so I decided to contact him to see what they had to offer. Tom was very knowledgeable and helped us get a better understanding of the world of social media. Their prices are competitive and their responsiveness is second to none! Suffice it to say, we are very happy to have Tweet Angels run the whole gamut for us. It has opened up so many different avenues we would've never thought of. A sincere thank you to the Tweet Angels team, from our team at Z.E.N. Foods!

We Serve All Industries
We stay on top of our industry by being experts in yours.
With an estimated 2.67 billion social network usersexpected to be online by 2018 it's easy to see that social media is more than just a fad. Social media platforms have become the perfect place to advertise, engage, and introduce your product or services to a specific target audience. But more importantly, social media marketing helps you join in the conversation and stay connected to you followers.
The key to any successful social media management campaign is to post fresh, engaging content that will get your audience talking. However, each platform must be approached with a carefully crafted strategy specifically made for that platform. Businesses must understand their target audience and which social media channels are target rich environments.
How We Can Help
Our team can help you with all aspects of social media management like the following:
- Creating customized content for your brand. This includes designing sales images, infographics, running contests to increase engagement, posting about your events and the latest news in your industry and more.
- We can also help grow your audience with real and targeted followers on all of your social media platforms.
- Our team will help you set up social media ads and manage them to target the right audience for your business, increase visibility, web traffic and boost your best performing posts.
- On top of these social media services that we offer, we can also help you grow your client base by creating an email list and sending out monthly newsletters to your audience as well as give you monthly analytics insight reports to let you know what progress we've made, and how we can continue to help your business succeeed.
Below are just a few ways on how our social media strategies can be approached.
Facebook Marketing
There are more than 60 million businesses using Facebook today. Each with their own voice and target audience. Some engaging with current and prospective audiences and others merely existing without taking advantage of the multitude of people they could be interacting with.
You don't want to be the latter.
Facebook marketing allows you to laser target existing as well as potential clients better than any other channel. Engaging content and Facebook Ads are an easy way to increase page likes and website traffic if done correctly. Knowing how often to post and what content your audience is attracted to is a skill not everyone has the patience for, luckily everyone at TweetAngels has that skill. You also have to be willing to interact with your audience in a timely manner when they comment, ask a question or send you a message.
Twitter Marketing
Twitter is perfect for having 1-on-1 conversations with your audience. It can easily help your brand or business become personable in the eyes of your customers instead of just a business looking to sell. However, if Twitter for business is not done right you could find your business losing followers instead of gaining.
The goal with Twitter marketing is to present content that is intriguing, sharable and will get those conversations between you and your audience going. That way you can build new relationships with potential buyers and increase brand awareness without looking unapproachable.
LinkedIn Marketing
You may think LinkedIn marketing is only for business professionals and not their companies. Well, you're wrong. LinkedIn is a great way to create a presence for both you and your company while building credibility. A killer company page that is detailed without being too wordy, is updated frequently and has displays a great set of individuals who work for the company is sure to get noticed.
So many individuals are turning to LinkedIn when they're looking for a new gig. Which is why keeping up with your company profile is so important. LinkedIn allows your followers to engage with your company and in turn become brand advocates. This enhances your reputation and gets you noticed for when it's time hire a few new team members. You can even post job openings right on your company page!
Instagram Marketing
Instagram is more than just people posting pretty pictures. It's a chance to give your audience a look at your business through images. Having your weekly company scrabble tournament? Post a photo. People love company culture that excites and inspires them.
Using high-quality photos throughout the week with engaging, trend-worthy hashtags is the key to getting the likes, followers and views you want on Instagram. You just need the right team to get you started like us at TweetAngels.
The right content is sure to get noticed on any social media channel. Insightful, entertaining, informative posts are essential for any successful approach to social media. Without insights into what your audience is looking you can't expect to get the results you desire. Whether it's organic or paid advertising your focus on social media has to be your audience and what they want to see, hear, and read.

I yo my friend BOIBLOG about 15 times on the way to the train station.
It is "yo," the absence of reason, the sound of a simply occupying and desperate stimulus.
Congrats: YA got all the words that I wanted to teach YE And—yo!
I yo AIRGORDON and the rest of my yo friends when I wake up for no discernible reason, other than to assert my existence.
In the past several months, talk of a technology bubble has become more commonplace even as yo!
"yo' has plumb nerve to tackle a hold-up under them circumstances," he observed.
"yo' think I never had no orthodonture, whatever thet is," he said.
I rackon his life is as sweet to him as yours is to yo', Massah St. John.
"yo' am rich woman now, ma'am," he said in his thick, fruity voice.
I'm jes' mentionin' this to yo' to show yo' that thar's reason in my advisin' yo' to keep clar o' this district.
as a greeting, 1859, but the word is attested as a sailor's or huntsman's utterance since early 15c. Modern popularity dates from World War II (when, it is said, it was a common response at roll calls) and seems to have been most intense in Philadelphia.
A greeting or said to get someone's attention; hey: Yo, dudes and babes!
[1859+; even though yo and yoho are very old utterances, found by 1420, the recent revival of yo as a primarily black interjection has spawned comment; Ernest Paolino of Philadelphia, indignant because a New York writer had claimed the syllable for New York, recalls it from the 1930s as shortening of walyo; in the WWII Army it was the common form of here! used in responding to roll-calls]

Ancient sages believed that humanity had been cut off from the source and meaning of life. There is not a single ancient race or aboriginal culture that did not speak of a prehistoric age of gold, wise magi, dragon-slaying heroes, and high civilizations that eventually fell into oblivion due to moral declination and misuse of technological power. The elders and shaman make no bones about it. In their estimation man has fallen from a great height and lost his way morally and spiritually. The world's many myths and legends even go so far as to tell us why man became disconnected and unsane. They preserve information that speaks of terrible celestial and terrestrial cataclysms that devastated the Earth and shook the consciousness of human beings to its foundations.
Regrettably, obscure myths and legends do not interest most mainstream academics. Their strange accounts have not preoccupied the vast majority of prestigious western philosophers, regardless of whether they were Rationalists or Empiricists. Evidently, erudite scholars have more on their minds than a prehistoric age of chaos and confusion. They are not inclined to spend time considering how human consciousness was affected and altered after an age when men witnessed not only fire and ice raining from blackened skies, but the universal annihilation of millions of Earth creatures.
We cannot blame the intelligentsia for disregarding prehistoric upheavals and their effect on consciousness. After all, until very recently, the vast majority of people adamantly believed the entire creation to be a mere four thousand or so years old. Most "civilized" academic philosophers were ardent Christians or Deists. The antiquity of the planet was not a major intellectual concern for them, and neither was the lifestyle of miserable savages and semi-savages who, in the opinion of most moderns, eked out an existence before the gleaming angel of the Lord appeared unto Mary.
However, in our estimation, academic philosophers might have profited enormously by paying attention to the sagas of antiquity; given that they were preoccupied with the mysteries of human consciousness, and given that it was Plato's own father Solon, who, after hearing the dread testimony of Egyptian priests, brought to Athens and the West the legend of lost Atlantis, the continent supposedly destroyed in a frightful cataclysm.
…there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished; wherefore also the ocean at that spot has now become impassable and unsearchable, being blocked up by the shoal mud which the island created as it settled down – Plato (Timaeus)
It was not to be. Despite Plato's intriguing accounts of his father's conversations with Egyptian adepts, western clerics and patrons of knowledge paid only fleeting attention to the matter of prehistoric wreck and ruin. It had a similar significance for them as any fantastic bedtime story has for a dozing infant. From Plato's time onward, the message of tribal storytellers and medicine men has habitually been ridiculed and rejected by the vast majority of the western world's academics and laymen. The very few savants of science who have offered evidence to corroborate the declarations of "primitive" storytellers, such as psychologist Julian Jaynes – author of Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind – have also found mainstream academics dismissive toward their revolutionary findings.
Loud is the claim of the nineteenth century to pre-eminence in civilization over the ancients, and still more clamorous that of the churches and their sycophants that Christianity has redeemed the world from barbarism and idolatry. How little both are warranted…The light of Christianity has only served to show how much more hypocrisy and vice its teachings have begotten in the world since its advent, and how immensely superior were the ancients over us in every point of honor – Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

My headline is a little harsh on both companies. For one, Meizu didn't mimic Creative's ZEN - its 'Mini Player' range pre-dates it by over a year - and two, its latest offering isn't half the depth.... quite.
In what surely must be the final PMP/MP3 player announcement before Apple's 6PM iPod unveiling (let's call a spade a spade) Meizu has formally announced (I had a whiff earlier) the 'Mini Player SL' (stands for 'Slim') which features and improves the goodness of the original Mini Player before squashing it into an industry shaking form factor of just 79 x 48.2 x 7.3mm.
On top of this the player's screen size has also increased a teeny bit, going from 2.4in to 2.41in and the viewing angle has been enlarged. A new audio chip makes it onboard too and promises better sound quality along with the addition of APE lossless playback to complement the existing MP3, Wav, Ogg and AVI video.
An FM tuner, proportionately cracking battery performance (26 hours continuous audio/4.5 hours continuous video) and exponential capacities of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB round things off nicely.
China, naturally, gets the SLs first on 25 September but European importers have been pleasing the fans of this cult company for some time now.
RRPs work out as just $90, $110 and $150 (*swoon*) but expect to pay more on these shores.
Apple, over to you... no pressure!

Fundraiser for the National Alliance on Mental Illness Westside LA
Lauren Broidy
Saturday, May 4, 2013 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
The National Alliance on Mental Illness Westside Los Angeles (NAMI) is holding a fundraiser at the popular indoor cycling studio, SoulCycle. At SoulCycle, riders strive to change not only physically, but emotionally and mentally too. The endorphin rushes that riders receive during rides are unforgettable. NAMI provides free support groups and education classes for people who struggle with mental illness, as well as connect the consumers to free housing, therapy, and conservatorships. What makes NAMI so unique from other non-profits that help people that struggle with mental illness is that they also provide free education courses and support groups for family members and loved ones of people who are affected by mental illness, while most non-profits only help the consumer bring their lives back together, rather than helping the whole family unit reconnect and become one again. Many families are on the brink of collapse due to the hardships of having a loved one that is suffering from mental illness, but with NAMI's help, are able to mend their lives back together. Most people are not aware that 1 in 4 Americans have a brain disorder of some sort.
There is no difference between mental illness and a physical illness. Both tear families apart.
When & Where
SoulCycle West Hollywood
8570 W Sunset Blvd

posi unit for 1971 Camaro
Does it matter what ring and pinion is in the car to add a posi unit? Right now there is a 10 bolt. I am looking at a 8.5 GM 10 bolt posi unit 28 spline 8.5 positraction, that had 3.73 gears on it that are now removed. Will this work or what do I need to know?
You need to find out if it's an 8.2" 10-bolt or an 8.5" 10-bolt. Once you do that, you need to use a carrier that is compatible with the gears you intend to use. Here's a site with some pictures of various GM rear ends:
The 8.5" with 3.73 gears should have a "3-series" carrier, used with 2.73-up (numerically higher) gear ratios. It should have "410408N" cast into it. It will NOT work in an 8.2" rear end. Any 8.5" gears that are less than 2.73 will use a "2-series" carrier, cast 410409N.

Lose the budget. I hate to say it, but that is the hurdle you have to cross.
If you start with budget, you must compromise.
This is a discussion on Does this even exist? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'd like to know if this gun exists: -1911 -9mm -officers frame w/3.5 - 4" barrel -short GI style trigger -beaver tail grip safety -night ...
I'd like to know if this gun exists:
-officers frame w/3.5 - 4" barrel
-short GI style trigger
-beaver tail grip safety
-night sights (can be added later)
-Under $1000 (rules out the emp)
-NO ambi safety
-Either 30 LPI checkering on the front strap or smooth so it can be checkered later, meaning NO stippling or serations.
I've looked high and low and can't find a gun sold like this that fits this bill. If you know of one, please tell me
If you can recommend which gun to start with and them modify it later to "finish" it up, please let me know.
The Springfield EMP comes closes but I would have to change out the Ambi and I don't like the hammper on it. Plus I don't care for the 3" barrel; I think it looks too short. I'm also not fond of the night sights. I like the ones with the white rings around the ampules so they're good in the day too. The Springfield night sighs look like little crystals but with no outline. So if you start out with a $1,200 gun, change out the thumb safety, get it checkered and refinished, you're up to $1,500 or more.
Don't laught but I wish RIA made their compact in 9mm!
I've found a lot of guns that come close like Wilsons, Para Ordiance, STI, etc but there's always a number of things that are off. Para Ordinance has some that come close but I don't like the funky triggers.
I know I'm asking a lot but you folks know a lot!
Thanks in advance for you time!
Lose the budget. I hate to say it, but that is the hurdle you have to cross.
If you start with budget, you must compromise.
I'm not a lawyer or a LEO, just a pantload with a computer.
I think it does exist, but not for under $1,000 dollars.

Okay, you're hurting me. If you know of a gun that meets this criteria, please name it irregardless of price....
Kimber Ultra Aegis - the only 'compromise' from your requirements is a 3 inch barrel, but you can't tell by looking at it. The Aegis has a 4" bbl but a full-size grip
(But please - irregardless? How 'bout 'regardless'... [with love from the spelling & grammar Nazi])

That one looks very close to your specifications, at least to me it does. Of course, it is a lot more than you want to spend, and I wouldn't want something that says Ms. Sentinel on the slide.
I really think talking to a custom 1911 smith is the way for you to go, but it is going to be pricey.

How about the Kimber Pro Carry II?
I think it meets all your criteria (including price) except that it has a match grade aluminum trigger instead of a GI trigger, and uses fixed instead of night sights. However both of those can be easily swapped out to meet your specifications...
"In a world of compromise, some don't." -HK
Maybe you could build your own? IIRC I could have put together a Fusion for around 1K, but then again I get dealer pricing from Brownells and no gunsmithing fees.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
Just for poops and giggles look at a Star BM. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that you are looking for but it is a nice single stack 9mm that can be had pretty cheap.
Steven Camp does a great job evaluating handguns and here is his write up.
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
the Star BM is a well made handgun, but no backstrap safety. If I remember correctly (had a few of them) they do have 3.86" barrel and pretty nice trigger for a Spanish made police weapon.
STI has a new 1911 officers frame out in 9mm, .40sw, and 45.
ACT 235 Certified #45700
Recently in a hangun magazine that does not take advertising they reviewed 3 1911 9mm which fit your bill. The Kimber Aegis beat both the Springfield loaded and STI. The list is over $1000 but street price should be right. Be aware if not in stock I have been told Kimber is about 8 weeks behind and for this year it will probably only get worse.
Registration: A prelude to Confiscation and Anarchy.
I think the 9mm Colt Defender is your best answer. They list for under $1000, but I've seen them for in dealers for $875. Gunbroker.com is packed with them, many are even cheaper than that. The New Agent has lines down the front strap, but the Defender is smooth. I had mine checkered at 30 LPI last summer along with some other work to it. Put on some straight 8 night sights. Trigger could be switched out to a short GI, but when messing with a series 80/90, you should have a competent 1911 gunsmith do it as to not cause problems with the firing pin safety; it can take some finesse to fit it. The barrel is 3 inches though. Mine is a tack driver, but it is a .45. Never have shot the 9mm.

Thoughts on Excel Pocket Guide
By Joym
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Excel Pocket Guide:
This is an excellent little book -- small yet very useful. My students found it of great use during the past school year. One surprising omission (I thought) -- the lack of any entry on Absolute, Mixed and Relative Cell References and their uses, especially when copying functions using the fill handle. These are extremely valuable and useful tools, yet there's absolutely no mention anywhere in the book.

Globes debacle could boost other awards shows
By Steven Zeitchik
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - The de-glitzing of the Golden Globes has been a blow to everyone from movie marketers to caterers.
But could it lift award shows that aren't hit by the Hollywood writers strike?
The Spirit Awards, which honor art-house fare, and the Screen Actors Guild's SAG Awards could reap the fruits of a Globes downsizing in media attention, TV ratings and advertising revenue. Both have been granted waivers by the Writers Guild of America, whose two-month-old strike has forced the cancellation of the Golden Globe and People's Choice telecasts. A question mark looms over the Oscars.
The SAG Awards will be broadcast on both TNT and TBS on January 26, and the Spirits on IFC and AMC on February 23, the day before the Academy Awards. And with waivers in hand, both expect the full complement of celebrities that Sunday's Globes news conference will lack.
Whether the stars' presence at these shows will draw TV audiences remains to be seen, but if Tuesday's People's Choice Awards are an indicator, it's clear that star-less shows will struggle. In what had to be an ominous development for NBC and the Golden Globes, CBS' pretaped People's Choice Awards hit an all-time ratings low, averaging 6 million viewers overall, according to Nielsen data.
The presence of celebrities at the SAG and Spirits shows could keep ratings and viewer interest high, as movie fans with few other places to turn tune in to the show.
Organizers of the SAG Awards are expecting their usual attendance rate of 92%-95% of nominees, spokeswoman Rosalind Jarrett said. The broadcasts will include webcasts and other bells and whistles it implemented last year.
The Spirits are held on the beach in Santa Monica the day before the Oscars, and the smaller ceremony may find itself dependent on the fate of the larger one; if the Oscars are canceled or delayed, the Spirits could find themselves without some of the stars who come in expressly for the Oscars.

Jennifer Ann Meyer
JENNIFER ANN MEYER, 24 years old of Yellville, Arkansas, was arrested Thursday, March 15th, on forgery and theft charges following an investigation into altered checks issued on the checking account of a person MEYER worked as a caretaker for.
On January 30, 2012, the victim gave MEYER a check in the amount of $20.00. This check was presented later this same day at the First National Bank in Lakeview for $120.00. The victim stated the check had been originally issued for $20.00 but had been altered. On February 1, 2012, the victim gave MEYER another check for $10.00. This check was presented the same day at the same bank for $110.00. Again, the victim stated the check had been originally issued for $10.00 but had been altered.
On March 9, 2012, MEYER was interviewed by Investigator Drayton McDaniel. She denied altering the checks in question. However, upon inspection it was clearly evident that both checks had been altered and the amounts changed using a different type of pen.
Based upon the evidence, Investigator McDaniel procured a warrant for the arrest of JENNIFER ANN MEYER, which was served on her on March 15th. MEYER was incarcerated in the Detention Center and later released after posting bond in the amount of $10,000. She will appear in Circuit Court on March 22nd to answer charges of:
Forgery in the Second Degree (2 counts) – Class C FeloniesTheft of Property (2 counts) – Class A Misdemeanors

HUNTINGTON,WV A Huntington man fired a gun at a man attempting to break into his home at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
According to Sergeant John Williams of the Huntington Police Department, 34-year-old Houston E. McClung was grazed by the bullet. McClung had broken through a section of glass on the front door.
McClung was located at his residence in the 300 block of West 7th Avenue. He was transported to St. Marys Medical Center, where he was treated and released. He was incarcerated at Western Regional Jail at 5:35 a.m., which reported McClung as being held on one felony count of nighttime burglary.
The Huntington Police Department news release stated McClung also was facing assault and destruction of property charges.
The release states the investigation indicates the two men had been involved in an earlier altercation, at which time McClung had threatened bodily harm to the homeowner. Alcohol appears to be a factor in regards to McClung, the release states.
Michael Legg, who lives in the 700 block of Gill Street, has been identified as the homeowner. He is not facing charges.

Maxfield receives promotion
Sales representative Don West retired last Friday from The Anderson News.
West sold advertising for the paper for just over four years.
West said he enjoyed his time at the paper.
"Working at The Anderson News gave me the opportunity to know and work with a lot of really nice people around the county," West said.
"It has been fun."
The paper has interviewed a number of candidates to replace West, and is expected to make an announcement within the next two weeks, Publisher Ben Carlson said.
Well, you don't need a calendar to know it's July. The thermometer is telling us it's hotter than a firecracker.
If you do nothing else this week, please wash your cars and leave the windows down at night. Anyone knowing of a rain dance please feel free. We need rain.
Our gardens need 1 inch of rain a week to grow well. The high temperature increases that need.
When Amanda Neff met CASA volunteer Connie Riddell, she assumed Riddell only wanted to hear the same story about her past.
Neff was 15. A ward of the state. She had lived in a group home in Indiana, was living in a Frankfort group home with 14 other girls. Neff and her brother were in the middle of an extended custody battle.
She repeated the same narrative to the social worker. The attorney. The judge. The probation officer assigned to her case after Neff got physical with her stepmother while living with her father in Indiana.

Citation: Suryawan, A., Escobar, J., Frank, J.W., Nguyen, H.V., Davis, T.A. 2006. Developmental regulation of the activation of signaling components leading to translation initiation in skeletal muscle of neonatal pigs. American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism. 291(4):E849-E859. Interpretive Summary: Skeletal muscle grows at a very rapid rate in new-born pigs. This is due in part to higher sensitivity of skeletal muscle to make more proteins (protein synthesis) from substrates (amino acids) that are obtained after eating. The ability to make muscle protein is developmentally regulated. In this study, we found that the activation of signaling components of protein synthesis apparatus (mTOR, eIF-4EBP1, eIF-4G, S6K1, and rpS6) is higher in younger pigs (7-day-old pigs) compared to older pigs (26-day-old pigs). In conclusion, new-born pigs have higher ability to make muscle protein compared to older pigs which is due in part to higher activation of protein synthesis apparatus.
Technical Abstract: The rapid growth of neonates is driven by high rates of skeletal muscle protein synthesis. This high rate of protein synthesis, which is induced by feeding, declines with development. Overnight-fasted 7- and 26-day-old pigs either remained fasted or were refed, and the abundance and phosphorylation of growth factor- and nutrient-induced signaling components that regulate mRNA translation initiation were measured in skeletal muscle and liver. In muscle, but not liver, the activation of inhibitors of protein synthesis, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10, protein phosphatase 2A, and tuberous sclerosis complex 1/2 increased with age. Serine/threonine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate-1, which downregulates insulin signaling, and the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, were unaffected by age and feeding in muscle and liver. Activation of positive regulators of protein synthesis, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1), and eIF4E-binding protein-1 (4E-BP1) decreased with age in muscle but not liver. Feeding enhanced mTOR, S6K1, and 4E-BP1 activation in muscle, and this response decreased with age. In liver, activation of S6K1 and 4E-BP1, but not mTOR, was increased by feeding but was unaffected by age. Raptor abundance and the association between raptor and mTOR were greater in 7- than in 26-day-old pigs. The results suggest that the developmental decline in skeletal muscle protein synthesis is due in part to developmental regulation of the activation of growth factor and nutrient-signaling components.

However, LG does not reveal information about the profits that its mobile division accounted for during the quarter.
But what's significantly more interesting is the disclosed data about the amount of devices LG shipped during the quarter. We have a new record here, folks! The manufacturer revealed that it has sold more than 5 million LTE-enabled smartphones during the quarter – this is an all-time record for LG. As a side comparison, the company states that it had sold 79% less of these a year ago. LTE-enabled smartphones are now responsible for 41% of LG's smartphone sales, whereas back in Q1 2013, 4G-capable devices comprised just 27% of all phone shipments of the company.
As a whole, the tech giant revealed that it has shipped 12.3 million smartphones during the first trimester of the year. It's unclear if we have a record here, however, the company claims that this amount of smartphones makes no more or less than 75% of all mobile device shipments that LG is responsible for – hence, simple calculations reveal that the giant has sold roughly 16.4 million handsets for the said time period.
The current quarter, Q2 2014, is also expected to be record-breaking for LG. Some analysts expect LG to sell around 15 million smartphones during Q2, which will beat all previous records. Additionally, the company is anticipating increased revenues during the second quarter and the main reasons for these expectations are the release of the upcoming flagship, the LG G3, as well as a "wider roll-out of the mass-tier L Series III". You got that right, LG actually confirmed that the flagship will be released some time during the next quarter!
Hopefully, the G3 will help LG see even bigger operating revenues after it gets released. You can check out our rumor roundup of the anticipated flagship here.

If you're using advanced, or "rich" interactions in your web applications, then it's likely you have Bill Scott and Theresa Neil's Designing Web Interfaces on your desk, if not your bedstand. Published in 2009, it is perhaps the definitive tome on rich interactive design patterns for the web. Bill has dedicated a significant portion of his career to dissecting such interactions, creating the Rico JavaScript library, curating the Yahoo! Pattern Library and now overseeing UI engineering at Netflix—one of the first companies you think of when you think of Ajax-y web interfaces.
It's hard for us to picture talking about web apps without talking about Bill and his research into design patterns. His new book is full of examples where he slows down time to explore each micro-stage of an interaction. Our Jared Spool got together with Bill to discuss his ideas about the nuances of Interesting Moments.
Jared and Bill discussed,
- Bill's experience of aggregating successful interactions in the Rico JavaScript and Yahoo Patterns Libraries
- How his challenges at work lead to him writing Designing Web Interfaces
- How his interface research lead to better ways to capture interactions for documents and prototypes.
- Dancing Hamsters
- …and more
Bill speaks about both patterns—successful interaction models for common interactions—and anti-patterns. By showing what not to do, anti-patterns often provide insight on the right way to do something.
A good example [of an anti-pattern is from] the old Yahoo Photos site[…] dragging several photos into an album, there's no indication that the photos actually dropped into the album folder, and there's no feedback that says, "Oh, there was three, but now there's six items in the folder."
The designers had dropped in two extra "idiot boxes", which is a great anti-pattern. The first idiot box says, "Do you really want me to drop these items into the folder that you so carefully managed to use your mouse dexterity to get to?" Not quite that message, but that's gist of it.
Then there's another pop-up that says, "Hey! Guess what? We did what we said we would do. We actually put those items in the folder." It's sort of, as Alan Cooper calls it, "stopping the proceedings with idiocy." The missed moments were just those little, subtle feedbacks that could have been done, instead of the hammer approach, by having those boxes pop up and interrupt the user.
The take away for our work is that this interaction was backwards. It gave no indication that you were doing something successfully while you were doing it, and then penalized your time after completion with dialog boxes to confirm your success: "You did it!" After dismissing the dialog, you were left with an interface that didn't reflect any of your changes.
By adding clues that the move was happening during the action, and then reflecting the changes with interface cues afterwards, we can make the experience smoother while avoiding "idiot boxes" altogether. (This interaction is detailed in chapter 5, "Overlays" of Designing Web Interfaces)
There are many more pearls of Bill's wisdom available in the podcast, please tune in!
Don't miss Bill's full presentation, "Designing for Interesting Moments", at our Web App Masters Tour. He'll be with us in San Diego, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Seattle.

Total control is one product from Herbalife, that is very good added to the program. It will give you the jitters if you are not used to the caffiene. I only take one about 10:00 a.m. and that is it. It works for me. I love the product
This is NOT an Herbalife Diet but an individual promoting the sale of one particular product. To get the facts go the the official Herbalife site @ www.herbalife.com
Please cancel my order. The pills give me the jitters
