Last time I was in OC a month ago we stumbled on a wedding off the boardwalk. Was really pretty.
Also, last year sucked! No offense to Tania or anyone else really. It was just hot and dusty and really not so great. Morning is so much better.

Essex we provide an extensive range of Quality Summer Houses which are ready to upgrade to into
Garden offices, Providing you with a building that is not only very strong 'as we use structurally graded
framing' but once insulated they are very warm as well, infact once they are lined & insulated they become
approx 99mm thick 'with higher thermal values than a compariably thick Log cabin'. This make them
suitable as Games Rooms, Home Offices, Hobby Rooms, Extra Dining space or Guest bedroom... Not only do
we offer very pretty Garden Rooms at Great Prices but our buildings are manufactured to a higher standards than
most companies but still remain at reasonable prices. We offer two specifications The 1st option is our High
quality summer house/basic office spec which is listed as 'DIY' this is our standard garden
room that is ready to be lined & Insulated at a later date by the customer, don't worry the
building it's self can still be installed by our team OR our 2nd option is our Full Office
Specification which includes all Lining and Insulation which has been pre-cut in the workshop,
this also includes the skirting and all the interior edging & double glazing. This can either be fixed
on by you the customer or you can have the install team do it for you.
Summer Houses
Bespoke Buildings
Our Summer
Houses.. Select from one of our
quality exclusive buildings manufactured by us
Garden Offices.. Our Garden Offices are
built in our own workshop and supplied at fantastic prices
Our Bespoke
service.. We can build to your
requirements at a cost you will find hard to beat
"I guarantee you
will be impressed by our New Upgraded
We have upgraded
our Summer Houses so they are more like Garden
Offices... Please see
our product pages for prices & new spec, then read this page for what makes
these upgrades so great.
What makes our buildings superior to other suppliers in our price bracket
including Log Cabins... We provide our customers with Extremely STRONG
Buildings as we use Structual CLS framing which is used in houses and on our larger buildings
we also provide Roof trusses. It is a fallacy that the thicker the T&G/Cladding/Log the
stronger the structure as what goes unmentioned is, that Log cabins only have thicker
logs as they have NO structual framing, so all their strength is in their Logs/cladding. Bare
in mind alot of houses use Structual graded framing in their stud walls and Timber
frame extensions, So I think it speaks for it's self which method is
Our Summer
houses are actually more like a standard Garden office, as they can easily, at any point, be
turned into a fully lined & insulated
office. See our
specifications on our product pages it's like No
other... All of our Standard Summerhouses are easy to Line & Insulate which will
achieve Approx 99mm thick walls/roof, giving you higher thermal values than a single skin
logcabin. This can either be done by us as an added extra or this can be done by yourselves
once your building has been installed. You can even upgrade to thicker framing with thicker
insulation if required.
buildings also provide alot more anti rot
pretection than a pine log
cabin... Log cabins can easily rot and
decay if you don't paint them with a wood preserve regular enough. To avoid this
we now use Pressure Treated (TANALISED) timber as standard on all of our
Exterior Walls and Floor Bearers. Our floor bearers are also coated in a damp course for extra
moisture resistance. Which gives our buildings excellent anti rot protection through
We are now adding 'Breather Membrane' to all inner
walls.. Breather
membrane is a soft fabric type material which is Not made of plastic but does pocess the same
moisture resistant qualities without making your building sweat. The one we use is genrally grey in
colour. However oonce your building arrives if you do not like the breather membrane on the
walls it can be easily
removed at a later date to reveal the internal view of the Tanalised wall cladding or you you can
line the inside of your building to hide the membrane. If you choose to remove it, we recommend
painting both the external and internal cladding to ensure maximum moisture proofing, this can
be done with a quality wood stain or a clear preserve if prefered. If you are unable to
paint the exterior fence facing panels once the building has been installed, ask us for a
quote if you would like us to give your fence facing panels 2 coat of paint before delivery, see
'painting service' found under Extra's on our product pages. Once you have painted the
exterior walls of your building you can remove or keep the breather membrane in place.
We recommend keeping the breather membrane on especially if you are wanting to line and
insulate either now or at a later date as it is an essential part of the lining
procedure. (Please see our Garden Offices page for more details and benefits of Breather
Our Quality Windows and Doors give you the best of both
worrlds.. We now Provide Quality pre-painted wooden windows &
doors with 4mm glass as standard or you can upgrade to Toughened glass double glazed units
available with wooden Georgian bar or a PVc Georgian bar that is concealed inside the glass for
easy maitenance, or you can now choose Leaded or Plain style double glazing as well the
choice is yours...
Garden Offices on a
Budget... All of our buildings are designed to be ready for lining
& insulating, either now or at a later date, by us or by you. Giving you a Garden
office on a budget...The
specifications and quality of our Garden Offices that are manufactured at our workshop,
we think, you will find hard to beat. We use 25mm x 125mm Tanalised Cladding, Double
Glazed Windows and Doors, 50mm Insulation to the walls roof making them approx 99mm
thick and 50mm under the floor. All of our buildings come with Breather membrane to the
walls and if you choose us to line and insulate for you get a choice of Internal linings,
plus all internal edging & skirting to finish. The skirting can be left off so
your electrician can easily run cables up and around the small cavity walls
(Please don not book an electrian for the same day your building is being
Garden Storage Add
on...You can now buy our
storage add on's to enhance the functionality of your garden room. We can supply any size to
suit all of your storage needs, From bikes, tools, filing cabinets, or even an out door loo
for your garden office (Please note: We do not fit
toilets). Storage add on's can be
fitted to all of our buildings including Summer Houses and Garden Offices you
can also choose between single or double doors and even specify exactly where
you want the storage positioned. For example on a side wall with front facing doors or you
can have it hidden away behind your building so from the front no-one would even know it was
there. Or you can have an internal store inside your building with an internal or external
door or we can now do a hidden door to the front of our Contemporary
summerhouse/office where the cladding is vertical as seen in the
Our Summer Houses... are built to under 2.5 metres ridge height so in most cases planning
permission is not
Understanding Tanalised/pressure
Treated Timber.. Tanalised also known as Pressure
Treated is a process where Timber is impregnated with a
water based wood preservative which protects agains rot and decay, offering the
wood brilliant protection for many years against Rot. Which is great for those hard to
reach places. However although this is
a fantastic treatment which aids against rot, it is not a waterproof barrier for any
wood, which is naturally porous (sponge like) so unless wood is treated with a high
quality stain/preserve be it coloured or clear & conatins a water repelling
substance/barrier then the wood can still absorb moisture. However even if it does
externally absorb water, Tanalised cladding will not Rot
and as mentioned above all of our buildings are internally protected by the moisture
proof barrier which we now install between the framing and the outer wall cladding. Which
helps to Keep your internal space cozy and dry until it's painted.
We Recommend Bedec
Barn Paint...To waterproof any
exterior wood you will need to paint it with a protective Quality wood preserve/stain,
such as Bedec barn paint this doesn't only repel water but will add even more anti rot protection;
giving you years of protection. We recommend painting your building when the weather permits and
the pressure treated wood is thoroughly dry to avoid trapping moisture inside the wood. Always
follow the instructions on the tin and if you choose to remove the internal moisture proof barrier
we recommend painting the inside as well to maintain maxium
Base Installation... Is somthing that our
recommended Installers has started to offer as an added extra, please ask us for
our installers details to get a price.
Direction... If you are building a frame base
your self please note that on most of our buildings the BEARERS RUN FROM SIDE TO SIDE
our bearers are genrally 2.5m long so may they come in more than one length per section so
this join will need to be supported, we genrally space our bearers at 40cm, if you are using your
building as a gym with very heavy equipment you can purchase more bearers if
We can build almost
anything to order... so if you do not see exactly what you want please call us
and we will be happy to discuss your requirements. The Summer House designs
can also be altered to suite your needs for example windows and doors can be
added, removed and placed where you require them.
We have also supplied the inventor of Green and Blacks chocolate
with a French Corner summerhouse and had one of our French corners appear in Vogue....
can build garden offices, garages, porches, games rooms, music studio's, stables and Timber frame house
extensions from a basic lined and insulated building to a building that meets building regulations covering
every aspect of the build.
If you require
something that isn't mentioned please contact us as we can still probably help, Our staff have many years
experience in the building trade and work to very high standards, we also have a fully qualified electrician so we
can handle every aspect of your build or if you prefer we can supply any building in kit form so you can use your
own builders.
All our Summer House are available with
Modern Plain or Georgian Style Windows and Doors plus we can remove or add windows from the
Summer Houses Essex is part of County Garden Buildings

Spice Girls Hit Milan Fashion Week
He's already one of the most successful and recognizable icons in the fashion industry, but even Roberto Cavalli benefits from a Spice Girls appearance.

Benefits of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding Benefits You and Your Baby
Scripps follows the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines to encourage new mothers to breastfeed immediately after giving birth and continue breastfeeding for at least the first year of the baby's life. Breastfeeding not only gives babies a healthy start, but also provides numerous other benefits:
Breastfeeding offers an unmatched beginning for children.
Providing infants with human milk gives them the most complete nutrition possible: human milk provides the optimal mix of nutrients and antibodies necessary for each baby to thrive. Scientific studies have shown that breastfed children have a lower incidence of diarrhea as well as gastrointestinal and respiratory infections.
Mothers who breastfeed may reap health benefits.
Recent studies show that women who breastfeed have a lower risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, anemia and osteoporosis.
Breastfeeding enhances bonding between mother and newborn.
Both mother and baby enjoy the emotional benefits of the very special and close relationship formed through breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding saves money and hassle.
In addition to the fact that breast milk is free, parents don't have to worry about milk spoiling or running out of supplies.
Breastfeeding helps the environment.
Since there is no waste in breastfeeding, it cuts down on our pollution and garbage disposal problems. Breastfeeding uses none of the tin, paper or plastic necessary for preparing, packaging and transporting breast milk substitutes.
The rental of hospital grade electric pumps may or may not be covered by your insurance company. Please check with your insurance company for details about coverage for breast pump rental.

What games are you playing now?

easy on my homegirl there, Mag!
Mavis is caring, but firm ='.'=
I'm getting better, but I aint 40 WPM yet, which is what she's pushing me to get before I advance to the next level.
Besides that, I havent been playing any video games lately, playing PnP instead. Studying D&D books (just got Player's Handbook II and Complete Divine) and making up chars, and doing "dry runs" vs creatures and each other and such, making up dungeons, geeking out on cool pc utilities, etc. Spent most of yesterday night messing with
Hero Workshop
. By no means a necessary thing, but I just love this kinda stuff. Helps me check new chars I make of advanced level. Been playing mostly on the weekends, have a game with a new group this weekend. I'm totally into the "divine" classes, Paladin, Cleric, etc.
Totally tearing into my pc gaming time, but it's worth it, I'm having lots of fun, totally rediscovered the joys of this game. The books can actually be gotten unbelievably cheap on Amazon. Got Complete Divine for like 15 bucks, and a couple weeks ago got Unearthed Arcana for 9.99! Perfect condition. No joke!

Re: Have you been Prairie dogs hunting yet
Redbone : just got back from S, Dakota. Weather was dismal for first two days , so I just scouted the back roads and nearly got stuck twice with just a fwd car . Next 4 days were as good as anything I've seen in over 25 years of Trips to SD , Wyoming , and Montana . I just blundered into some Ranchers who had great shooting Fields and I think took pity on a dumb Easterner who drives a car Pdog hunting . You should have seen the look on some Ranchers faces in the 80s when I drove way back in with a HO Camaro . It's really surprising where you can go when it's dry , and you go slow and straddle the ruts . Sorry no Pics ( I still use film ). Pretty tired yet , but I did count the first good day ....about 400 Rounds . Lots of WIND , lots of rain , lots of green grass , lots of Dogs . And did I ever have to keep an eye peeled on the storm clouds to beat a hasty retreat to hard roads . My favorite rifle was a Rem 700 with Hart heavy Barrel ( 1:14 ) shooting 40 Gr. Vmaxs and topped with a Leupold 16X . With that Wind , I didnt even bring out the CZ 17 HRM except to let a Rancher try some 25-50 Yard shots . He actually sat in his new F150 and spotted for hours for me . I also took a 1:8.5 Swift with 30 inch Barrel . I should have had a Brake installed as I could not see hits very well . The Smith who also did the work ( out of business now ) did not Throat it the way I wanted . I supplied a dummy Round loaded with a 60 Gr. Vmax , but he Throated it so I have to seat the 60 so the Bullet Base lines up with the Neck base . If I had it to do over again , I would pick the long 700 Action ( or a Custom ) , and a heavier Contour with a brake . I put together the Swift to shoot 60s , but it grouped the 40s in the 3s with no load development , so I think I will only put on a Brake and leave well enough alone . I also had knee replacement surgery a while back , so I wanted to see how I would walk . My favorite Dog Town is roughly Rectangular ....about 500 X 700 Yards , and by the time I walked out-and-back both ways ( sorta looking like a gimpy stick-man )..... I was beat . My favorite shooting is off a stand-up Tripod , and I'm pretty good out to about 300 Yards . Trip started out bad , but it sure turned out great . Sometimes it just pays to hang in there for awhile . Oh , those 40 gr Vmaxs sure don't like grass !

Re: Have you been Prairie dogs hunting yet
Wanted to add a couple of things : Poisoning on the Rosebud is supposed to start this week according to those I spoke to in the Area. Locations , amount , and poison supplied by the US Gov't. .....so check ahead if you have planned to hunt Pdogs in that part of SD . I also picked up a bullet for my Collection . It is a 100 Gr. 224 manufactured by Hornady . Lots of strange stories about when these were made and why no one can get more now . It measures 1.144 inches OAL .

Re: Have you been Prairie dogs hunting yet
Recheck the diameter. P O. Ackley built a 228 to get around the ban on hunting deer with a 224. Unpleasant surprise for the unwise if you load it up in a a normal barrel.

Re: Have you been Prairie dogs hunting yet
Had a spur of the moment hunt Saturday. Buddy stopped friday and wanted to go shoot PD,s Wouldn't you know it I didn't have a single gun ready except for my .300 Rum. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Talk about getting caught with your pants down. Friday night after work I grabbed 4 rifles and started putting scopes on them and getting them boresighted. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] All I had on had was some old scopes I had been given and which worked pretty good but none of them did I trust to do more than hold a zero [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Oh well were going to go kill something. What more did I need. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
1st rifle
Kimber K22 SVT .22 LR. It got a Simmons Pro Hunter 6X18X40AO Bought it new in the late 80's I think. Needed a cheap scope and I got it. Holds zero really well though. You have to focus the AO each time as its never focused where it should be according to the range finder. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Was using a brick of Remington Target Green/Blue box ammo standard volocity. Sighted in it was shooting into 1" at 100 yds. Good enough for PD's to start with anyway.
2nd rifle
Ruger 77/22 Mag Walnut/blue. I mounted an old Bushnell Sportview 6X18X40AO on it. Also holds a zero well but if you add clicks it has to be taped with a screw driver to make it move. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] This was the shocker. All I had for ammo was a brick of HSM .22Mag. After getting it on paper the darn thing settled down and started shooting 1/4" groups at 100 yds. Scope was pretty clear in the center but [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] the edges were bad enough that you couldn't make out a PD with it. Still [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Its holding a zero.
Third rifle.
Remington 700 VS I had picked up new in the box a week ago. Traded in my 700 Light Varmint for it. Wouldn't stay on target to watch the pink mist. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] That one I mounted a Cabela's 4X12X40AO Cabela's Alaskan guide premium on it. Great scope, just wish I would of had a 6.5X20X40AO on it instead. Worked very well out to 500 yds though. I didn't have time to reload any ammo for the .223 but had 200 rnds of Ultra-Max Nosler BT's in 50 grain bullets on hand. Another shocker. It shot those into less than 3/8" with that stuff. Volocity is only 3100 for it but I think that gun likes the NBT's. Trigger had to be 7 lbs at least. Couple times I reached up to click off the safty and found it was already off. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Got thats a bad trigger. Its getting a Jewel today. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
4th rifle.
Remington 700 VFS. .22-250 with Cabela's Alaskan Guide 6.5X20X44 AO
It was already to go. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Fired a couple of shots to check zero and done. Get this, it loves Federal Blue box 55 grain sp. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I bought a case of this stuff as it shot so well I figured that what the heck, don't mess with perfection. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] I'm going to have to figure out a load for it sometime when I get that stuff shot up. Too many other guns to get loads worked up for. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Shoots under 1/2" all day and sometimes 1/4" Keeps me happy. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Got finished sighting in by dark and headed home to pack spotting scopes, binoculars,ammo,and everything else I needed into the Expo. Finally got to bed and couldn't sleep. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Got up about 5:00Am and headed out to pick up my buddy. He had only two rifles to pack. His Bushmaster Varmint S.S. And a Ruger 77V in .223. And his shooting bench. Didn't take long. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Headed north over along the Nebraska Wyoming border to find a dog town to shoot. Did I tell you we didn't have a plan for where we were going. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I thought he had some places lined up and he thought I knew of a couple. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Well I did sort of but hadn't been there or talked to the guy since last year.
Driving north we happened upon a small dog town along the road and get this. It had sign's all the way around it stateing that there was public access. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] It also had sighns stating no vehicle access but there were parking areas every so far around it. Well my buddie had a semi-portable shooting bench and I had a folding chair. What more do you need. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] OH, did I tell you that the wind had started blowing about 30 MPH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Well we sat up and to begin with there were PD's all over in front of us. I started shooting with the Kimber K22 but quit that very quickly as the only place we could set up without having a house or cattle in front of us was a place where we were shooting into a cross wind. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Oh well, were PD hunting. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I was sitting in a low folding camp chair using my knee as a rest. I would try to get onto a target and about the time I would be ready to pull the trigger the wind would blow me off target. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] You could fire about every 4th time you got on target. My buddy with his shooting bench was doing a bit better and was shooting my .22Mag but neither of us were conecting with much. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] We finally gave up and put the .22's away and grabbed out .223's Me the 700 VS and him his Bushmaster Varmint. Thats when things began warming up for the PD's. We started shooting and were getting about 25% of the dogs we shot at out to 300 but past that it was getting ridaculus. We shoot for about 2 hrs and by that time we wern't getting many that would poke their heads up. I had shot proably 50 rounds and my buddie probably double that as I had been spotting for him on most shots. Thats was ok as watching a PD flip into the air and do 3 360's before making it back down is fun also. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I did have one at about 150 yds that did come unglued at the seams when I shot him. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] But for the most part neither one of us had many PD's that did that. Most just Bang/Flop and lay there. Only a couple crawlers out of the bunch. Good time but not long enough. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
We then headed north again along the border and about 75 miles from the NE/Wy/SD border where the guy I knew had invited me to come shooting PD's any time lived. We found his house but when driving up we didn't see any PD towns. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Well we stoped at his place and were informed that he had poisened them and plowed up the town. Why would someone do that [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] He did know of a town that we could shoot about 2 miles away though and we headed there and talked to the owner of that property who informed us that yes we could shoot but there were some requirements. We could not quit till we had gotten at least 100 PD. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The property was a full half section with a road on two sides. One on the South and one on the east. Shooting south would put you shootin towards the guys house. Shooting west we were fine. Except we were again shooting into a cross wind. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Well he also didn't want us driving around in the pasture so again we set up just inside a gate about halfway between the South road and his place giving us a good field of fire without worrying about bullets. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Oh he also said we probably shouldn't walk about much as what wasnt' cactus and wasn't PD mounds had snakes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] That or be real careful. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I think he is still laughing about the look on my face when he told me about the snakes. Rattle snakes that is. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Again we tried that Rimfires but man a 30MPH wind can raise hell with a bullet. We both got a couple before we quit but that got really rough trying to hit one at 100 yds and boring from the misses.
We again switched to the .223's At least you could connect once in a while. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I was sitting on a wooden chair about 8"s off the ground using my knee as a rest for my elbow and the wind would literly blow my gun sideways. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Sometimes it would take two or three tries to get a steady rest before you could fire. Something must of been working though because it wasn't long before we were connecting. One I was real proud of was a 450 yd shot (using the range finder) with no clicks on the scope just Kentucky windage [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] and one shot Bang/Flop. I had held about one PD high and somewhere between 2.5 and 3' to the left. My buddie says he can tell when I get one as I always giggle when I do. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I didn't even notice the fact.
Well we didn't get 100 PD's there but I bet we got close to that. Might of got more but with it being in the mid 90's and the wind blowing 30MPH plus we were getting wore out and then a storm came in and it started raining. I didn't care but my buddie must melt in the rain as he was more than ready to quit by that time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
All in all a good day and like fishing, my worst day doggen is better than my best day at work. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Have you been Prairie dogs hunting yet
Four times, so far.
Savage Model 12FV, repeater, in 204 Ruger. Nikko Stirling 6-24x56
Savage Model 12FV, single shot, in 223. Nikko Stirling 6-24x56
Rem 700 in 17 Remington. BSA 8-32x50.
Rem 722 in 243 varmint barrel. Nikko Stirling 6-24x56
Been concentrating on making the shots count due to the cost of ammo. I reload, but it is still in the 20 cent per round for the 17 Rem, 204, & 223!
Longest shot this year, just under 500 yards. Hoping to stretch the 204 and 223 to 600.
The 243 is new to me this past month. Purchased a used 722, removed the barrel & installed a new takeoff Rem varmint contour in 243. Just beginning load development.
Hunting in Nebraska with one other person.
Will post pics at a later time.

After delaying our trip to Eastern Montana the first of June because of daily rains, we finally made it July 26. Glad we waited because temps were in the range of 103 to 106 the week before we arrived. Plenty of targets for the full three days spent. Together we had three Savages two were model 12 LP version, one a standard model 12. I was shooting my .223 the other two were using .204 Ruger.
The first two days we were all over the board with regard to ranges. The last day we agreed to work on dogs that were five hundred plus. The best for all three of us turned out to be 600 plus yards. That's not to say we were making one shot kills at these ranges but when we had a steady wind for any length of time it took fewer shots to come up with the needed sight picture. I was using nosler 40 gr. BT, the 204 shooters use hornady 32 grain V-Max.
Just back an looking forward to the next time.

[AFRICAN NATIONS CUP/VIDEO] Dribbling seems to be a lost art these days, but Salomon Kalou put on an extraordinary display of magic on the ball to score the only goal in Ivory Coast's 1-0 win over Nigeria in a battle of giants Monday at the African Nations Cup in Sekondi.
The Chelsea forward won the game when he picked up the ball outside Nigeria's
penalty area, slalomed through three Nigerian defenders and slotted the ball past charging keeper Austin Ejide from close range.
In beating the
second and third defenders, Seyi George Olofinjana and Joseph Yobo, Kalou pulled the same trick, drawing the ball
toward each player, then pulling it away and heading in the other direction.
In other action, Morocco came within one goal of tying the African Nations Cup record for goals in a game when
it beat Namibia, 5-1, in Group A. Soufiane Alloudi led the Lions of Atlas with a 28-minute hat trick.
Mali beat Benin, 1-0, on a Frederic Kanoute penalty shortly after halftime in another Group B match.

What You Need to Know to Find Scholarships for Education!
Finding scholarships and resources can be a time-consuming task. But it's worth it! Scholarships and grants can help alleviate a student's college expenses. The cost of a higher education can be daunting for some students. However, it should never prevent a student from getting an education.
Many adult students, military personnel, parents and their high school students are trying to figure out how they'll afford college expenses. Before resorting to student loans, students should seriously research scholarship and grant opportunities. There are thousands of scholarships and awards out there for all ages and levels of education. Let the research begin!
Internet Research
One way to find scholarships and grants is to do research on the Internet. Most of the online scholarship search engines will require you to register for the site. In some cases, when registering, it will ask you many questions which may take time to complete. This is done to find scholarships that will be specific to you, so fill out the information completely and in detail. There are numerous scholarship search engines out there, but be aware if a site asks you to pay a fee because it may be a scam.
Some of the top free scholarship search engine sites are www.fastweb.com and www.scholarships.com. Scholarships listed on these sites serve the general population of students by helping them to find grants based on a wide variety of factors, such as personal interests, abilities, hobbies, activities, involvement in various organizations and, yes, also military involvement. Sites that cater specifically to military are www.military.com, www.moaa.org/education, and www.finaid.org/military/.
High School Counselors/College Advisors
If you don't know where to start, students can always get help from a high school guidance counselor or a financial aid advisor at the college the student plans to attend. For high school students, many guidance offices have a list of scholarships either on a bulletin board or on the school's web site. Additionally, if you need help applying for scholarships, guidance counselors can help you put together the information you need, such as a resume or essay. Making an appointment to discuss financial aid with your guidance counselor can never hurt.
Need more help? Make an appointment with a financial aid advisor at the college you plan to attend. Financial aid is their specialty; they will be able to answer most of your questions and can be a great resource for finding scholarships. Be sure to ask if the college you are attending has any in-house scholarships that you may be eligible for.
Many public libraries compile a list of scholarships available in your region and have librarians willing to help you with the search. Also, local organizations often support students by offering scholarships and awards. It is a good idea to check with your employer, a parent's employer or other organizations you have had experience with. If you volunteer with an organization, be sure to check with them, too. When you are talking to organizations, it is good to have a resume on hand, along with a clear outline of your educational goals.
Some career college state associations offer scholarships. A list of state associations can be found here.
Finally, don't forget the Imagine America scholarship and award programs for students attending participating career colleges!
- Imagine America for graduating high school seniors
- Military Award Program (MAP) for military personnel
- Adult Skills Education Program (ASEP) for adult students age 19 and above

Why It's Difficult For Your Library to Lend Ebooks
By Tammy McMillen
June 27, 2014
The licensing argument doesn't just hold true for ebooks. It's also the terminology used for digital copies of music, movies, and more. What they reflect, more than anything, is that U.S. copyright law is still waiting for a makeover that would put it better in line with the realities of the digital age, says Mitch Stoltz, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
"New technology tends to reassign rights and privileges," Stoltz says. "Then (regulation) has to catch up."

Engendering Men: A Collaborative Review of Evidence on Men and Boys in Social Change and Gender Equality
Request for Proposal: Movement Building through the Engagement of Men and Boys to End Sexual Exploitation
The US organisation Demand Abolition is circulating a request for proposals to address men's and boys' demand for commercial sex.
The text of Demand Abolition's invitation is as follows. Please also see the two attachments.
Request for Proposal: Movement Building through the Engagement of Men and Boys to End Sexual Exploitation.
Men, gender, and HIV prevention - Articles by Erin Stern
The following collection of articles is based on a narrative study conducted with 75 South African men and women to yield more nuanced, diverse and contextualised understandings of men's sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in order to provide a basis for addressing the gendered aspects of HIV prevention. The narratives highlight the diversity and fluidity of men and women's lived experiences while also demonstrating the range of social and cultural norms that structure sexuality and SRH.
Bro-Choice: Moving Men From Passive Allies to Vocal Stakeholders in Ending Oppression
Until now, we've been far too comfortable with men occupying a lethargic role in the sexual and reproductive rights movement: that of passive allies. And while it's imperative that communities and individuals most marginalized by reproductive oppression lead the way in building a new future, it's also critical that we situate an analysis of masculinity in the reproductive justice framework, and equally important that men are enlisted to participate in that analysis.
"Penetration is the woman's role"?
For millennia, men and women have clung to the archaic attitude that sex is all about establishing and reinforcing boundaries. One of the most rigid stereotypes about sex is that men should always be the penetrators, and any man who gets penetrated is either gay or a "sissy." Dr. Charlie Glickman and Aislinn Emirzian examine some common stereotypes about gender, sexuality, and penetration in
Something I Want Men To Know Before Flirting With Women
There's been an important shift in several different communities and scenes lately. In the kink world, in atheism circles, among feminist folks and their allies, in pagan communities, I've been seeing more people than ever before talking about the effects of sexual coercion, assault, harassment, unwanted attention, and other related topics. Of course, none of this is particularly new and women have been talking about it for years. But what's different is the nature of the dialogue.
Lingerie Football League: What is it really about and do we want it in Australia?

Hey all! I'm a long-time lurker who's finally (FINALLY) starting work on a Boba costume. I recently acquired an Asok CC bucket and have started prep work. Working with these materials is pretty new to me and I'd like to avoid damaging my helmet right out of the gates because I was impatient and did something foolish.
That being said, the helmet has resin in the T-visor where the green welding mask will eventually go. It's decently thick to boot. Is there any method of removing this resin that you'd recommend? I have access to a hand-held cast saw (hooked up to an air compressor) at work which would probably do the job, but those things are a bit squirrely IMO. What do y'all think? For any of you who've removed that portion before, how'd you do it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Convert PDF, Illustrator and EPS Files to Native QuarkXPress Objects
Say goodbye to time-consuming projects (think rebuilding logos and reconstructing PDF files sent by your clients). QuarkXPress is the first layout application to import PDF, Illustrator and EPS files and convert them to native objects. Look forward to fully editable Bezier versions of vector graphics, real text and automatically extracted colors and font information.
Copy and Paste Objects from Illustrator, PowerPoint and Others to QuarkXPress
Simply copy items from other applications such as PowerPoint, Illustrator or even InDesign and paste them into your QuarkXPress layout as Native QuarkXPress Objects, allowing you to easily complete or reuse them up in QuarkXPress 2016.
Multi-Color Gradients
Some things are worth waiting for. With the new Multi-Color Gradients you have all the flexibility you've yearned for when designing color blends. Create as many color stops as you like, use sliders or numeric settings, opt for the full radial setting or set the aspect ratio. Unlike other layout software, you can even set different opacity levels for each color stop.

HTML5 Publications displays pixel-perfect layouts on all modern desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers, providing an easy and effective online experience.

Support for OpenType Stylistic Sets
Typography lovers - it's time to get excited. With modern digital fonts, font designers can group related alternative characters into OpenType Stylistic Sets, which may be switched on together. Stylistic Sets give users the ability to quickly apply these sets with one click. For example, Vollkorn, a free body typeface by Friedrich Althausen, provides two stylistic sets that you can easily switch between. One is a more standard "old-style" set for body text and another "plainer" stylistic set is better suited for headlines while preserving the look of the whole body text. QuarkXPress adds support for Stylistic Sets to its OpenType support and allows you to quickly make use of this powerful feature for automating typography.
XTensions Interface Consistency
If you have already invested in a publishing system or third party software that integrates with QuarkXPress 2015, there's good news. You can continue to work with QuarkXPress 2016 without disruption. As the plug-in interface is the same between QuarkXPress 2016 and QuarkXPress 2015, your XTensions will work in the new version uninterrupted (provided the XTension does not conflict with any of the new functionality).

Danish prostitutes are infuriated at websites set up by the Social Affairs Ministry which makes negative remarks concerning the ancient and noble profession they pursue. The government program seeks to discourage young people from purchasing sex but the Sexarbejdernes Interesse Organization insists the government campaign spreads malicious information that is not accurate. The prostitutes were particularly upset at website claims they suffer from "shell shock, lack of sex drive, low self-esteem and physical handicaps. In retaliation, the organization of prostitutes has placed on the Internet their own website which they argue offers a more balanced view of prostitution.
The battle of the sexes regarding prostitution goes back hundreds, if not, thousands of years. In olden times, it was one of the few occupations open to women. If the issue is does an occupation result in lack of sex drive, low self-esteem and physical handicaps, one can certainly cite several business organizations in which men and women both suffer from these maladies.

Dr STONE (Murray) (11:22): I move:
That this House:
(1) celebrates the success of Rural Clinical Schools (RCS) around Australia, commenced in 1999 by the then Minister for Health, the Hon. Dr Michael Wooldridge MP, and continued by his successor, the Hon. Tony Abbott MP;
(2) notes that:
(a) RCS were designed to overcome the maldistribution of all doctors including general practitioners across Australia, which left country regions short of general practitioners and other specialty doctors;
(b) students undertaking training in rural locations have academic results that are equal to or better than their metropolitan counterparts;
(c) published data from public universities show high rates of RCS graduates working in, or intending to work in rural areas; and
(d) the information gathered through an independent project tracking all Australian and New Zealand medical students—Medical Schools Outcomes Database—demonstrates that long term placements in a rural setting through RCS have a significant impact on the vocational choice and intention to practice in a rural or remote setting as well as future career specialty focus; and
(3) calls on the Government to:
(a) continue its support for these excellent initiatives; and
(b) examine opportunities to increase intern and postgraduate training places in rural locations to enhance the future of specialty medical service delivery with a focus on general practitioners in rural and regional Australia.
I rise to commend this most important motion to the House. I believe this motion will have bipartisan support, given that the previous government continued to support and encourage rural clinical schools following their establishment nearly 14 years ago. I thank all speakers to this motion, including members of the opposition. Ensuring there are adequate medical services in rural and remote areas in Australia is beyond party politics.
The 2013 fact sheet of the Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand reported that there were 18 medical schools in Australia, which doubled the number of commencing medical students from 1,660 in 2000 to 3,469 in 2010. Despite these numbers and their steady increase, peaking and plateauing in 2014, when it is expected there may be 700 unemployed doctor graduates, most people will tell you there is shortage of doctors in Australia. But this is not true. The reason some country patients have to wait weeks for a GP appointment or hours in an accident and emergency centre is that we have a chronic maldistribution of medical practitioners across populations.
The very good news is that things are dramatically improving due to our rural clinical schools. In 1999 the then Minister for Health, the Hon. Dr Michael Wooldridge, introduced the concept of rural clinical schools. These were bold in concept. They required medical students to spend a significant amount of time out of the cities training in rural settings. Today, in places like Shepparton, Wangaratta, Ballarat and Alice Springs, we take this rural training situation for granted. But in in 1999, students, mostly born and bred in our cities, had to be gently nudged out of their comfort zone into rural hospitals and clinics. They were exposed to life in country towns and to work in small communities and larger regional centres. Impressive amounts of Commonwealth capital built state-of-the-art rural clinical school campuses and accommodation in these regional settings. Leading academics were attracted from the metropolitan medical schools or from overseas to lead in the establishment of these new clinical schools.
On 5 August 1999, John Howard turned the first sod for the building of a rural clinical campus at Shepparton. It poured rain that day and then failed to rain for another 10 years, pretty much, but no-one regrets that momentous sod-turning on that very wet day. Today there are 17 rural clinical schools associated with 16 universities, funded by the Commonwealth in every state and territory but with significant state collaboration and cross-university and health service cooperation. It is not just general practice that is involved but all of the specialties. Every Australian medical student now undertakes a rural clinical placement, while, as a consequence of the rural clinical schools, at least 25 per cent spend a year or more training and experiencing the culture and different health perspectives of a rural population.
Although it takes 10 to 13 years to produce an independent practising doctor, there is now good data to show that these rural clinical schools have succeeded beyond expectations. While the first urban campus based students had to be cajoled to go bush, now there are waiting lists, for example, at the University of Melbourne's medical school, as students vie for a place at the Shepparton campus. It is the same with other universities. The medical student outcome data, the MSOD, surveys every medical student in New Zealand and Australia at the beginning of their studies, upon exit and three years after graduation in order to have a comprehensive understanding of the student, graduate experience and destinations. This data is showing that, as a result of at least a year's rural training experience, a significantly greater number of students now convert from intending to practise in a city to wanting to practise in a rural area.
University of Melbourne data shows that 40 to 45 per cent—that is nearly half—of their rural clinical school graduates are training or working in an RA2+ location six years after graduation from the 2006 graduating cohort or earlier. While this university, like so many others, is targeting rural-origin students for its medical student intake, it has found that, as a consequence of its rural clinical schools, the conversion of urban-origin students to preferring a rural practice after graduation is now very high. Published data from rural clinical schools reports that students from Flinders University, the University of Queensland, James Cook University, the University of Western Australia and the University of New South Wales all show high rates of rural clinical school graduates working in or intending to work in rural areas. These students have also shown a change in intended medical discipline as a result of their rural training experience. At the commencement of training many students wish to become surgeons. At the end of their medical training, many more instead want to become general practitioners, obstetricians, gynaecologists, paediatricians, anaesthetists and pathologists. University of Melbourne data that compares examination results of rural clinical schools and urban clinical schools has found that students in the RCSs performed better than those from the urban clinical schools.
But there is more. The University of Melbourne realised that it was very difficult to find training places in one- or two-person private GP clinics, often with an ageing couple of doctors in small country towns. So they embarked on a further innovation, building with the Commonwealth's assistance a Shepparton GP training medical centre. This is the first purpose-built general practice for clinical training. It is located on the rural clinics campus across the road from Goulburn Valley Health, also known as Shepparton Hospital. The operating costs are self-funded, so there is no additional cost to governments. The medical centre has 20 consulting rooms and two procedure rooms to enable parallel consulting, where a medical student is first responsible for assessing the patient on their own prior to the academic GP supervisor input.
The 40,000 strong Shepparton-Mooroopna community, with its large Indigenous and multicultural population, has embraced this medical student focused and supported service. There are over 6,500 active patient cases on the books. At the most recent Shepparton Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Awards, the community voted this clinic the best enterprise and service provider of the year. So much for worries about having a medical student diagnose your child's flu or broken ankle! Waiting times at the hospital emergency department across the road have been reduced. Bulk-billing is the norm and needed in this community, where the food-manufacturing industry has been the major employer and where 25 per cent are now on welfare support.
This purpose-built GP clinic, which provides excellent service to the community at the same time that it facilitates medical student training, is clearly a model to be emulated wherever there is a problem in placing students in private GP clinics in country towns. It also provides a successful alternative model to the superclinics, which are having troubles. The good news is that this is just the sort of innovation and evolution that is typical of the university's rural clinical schools across the country.
The University of Melbourne has also partnered with one of the last public pathology labs in regional Victoria—in fact, one of the last in regional Australia. This vital piece of medical infrastructure, which includes a blood bank, employs some 95 medical scientists in GV Health. Their jobs and critical services are now secure as a result of this partnership and collaboration. Again, this is typical of the cooperation which local hospitals and clinics in regional Australia experience when they have the good fortune to be located near a regional clinical school.
The original vision of Michael Wooldridge, followed by successive health ministers Tony Abbott, Nicola Roxon, Tanya Plibersek and now Peter Dutton, has delivered us a way forward in training health professionals who want to practise in the bush. However, there is a roadblock in this otherwise triumphal story. Unless there are intern places and specialty training places in regional and remote settings, the investment in these regional training experiences for undergraduates can be lost.
In the Review of Australian government health workforceprograms, dated April 2013, the author highlights this problem. In summary, she says that we have to also have specialty training places in rural and regional Australia. She says:
In the other specialties, this lack of rurally-based intern positions is further hampered by limited rural training opportunities for trainees seeking fellowship of a specialist medical college, noting that the—
STP … has made some difference in this area.
A recent Senate inquiry came to a similar conclusion. The problem is not hard to understand. If you have to return to a capital city for a number of years to do your specialist training at a critical stage in your life, you are likely to stay. Your partner will want to work there, your children will want to go to school there and you will tend to stay.
All we need—and it is simple—is adequate specialty training places relocated to rural centres. We need these places for GPs, general surgeons, obstetricians and gynaecologists, general medicine, emergency medicine and anaesthetics. We have the proven RCS model with its infrastructure, excellent staff and well-established cooperation and coordination with local hospitals and health alliances. We can overcome this final hurdle in the maldistribution of medical practitioners in Australia.
I commend this motion to the House. We do not need more medical graduates; we need graduates who are able to seamlessly move between metro, outer metro and rural. We have achieved this. Our maldistribution continues now not as a consequence of lack of will or ignorance about the joys of country life but because we need the supporting specialty training places. (Time expired)
The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Hon. BC Scott ): Is the motion seconded?
Ms Marino: I second the motion and reserve my right to speak.

PARIS – France's first "cat cafe" is set to open in Paris on Saturday, with a troupe of nine rescue cats ready and waiting to be made a fuss of by cat-loving customers.
Already popular in Tokyo, where there are dozens, cat cafes allow customers who cannot have a pet at home to enjoy a cup of something hot with a purring cat perched on their knees.
Margaux Gandelon, the woman behind the new Cafe des Chats in Paris' trendy Marais district, says the cats were carefully selected for their social skills, and stresses that hygiene and their welfare are her top priorities.
Cindy Engel, 31, welcomed the concept, saying it encouraged her to interact with other people rather than electronic devices. "The cats allow us to not always be connected to our mobiles. What's more, they create social connections," she said. "Instead of typing on our computers while drinking a coffee, we talk about cats to our neighbors."
Not everyone, however, was convinced.
"It's a good experience, but eating with cats is not my thing," said Edward Chrismars. "It's alright to have them sitting on the sofa, that's OK, but they can't jump on the table or eat from my plate. It's not hygienic!"

PSFK Picks: Top Five Apps Of The Week
An uber for massages service to an app-ified version of wedding site Lover.ly.
Each week PSFK features many new and innovative apps. To highlight the some of the best, we've compiled a roundup of the most interesting and creative apps written about on the site these past seven days:
Shazam For Clothes Identifies What TV Characters Are Wearing
Music identification company Shazam is seeking to change the way we interact with TV and fashion, by developing Shazam to include a means of identifying the fashion you see on television. To identify a song, Shazam uses a sample of audio content and matches it to a vast database. The company has expanded this audio tagging to its TV feature within the app so users can also tag TV shows, which will pull up content on the show such as trivia, cast bios and merchandise.
Wedding site Lover.ly is getting an iPhone friendly version. The app will retain many of the features available on the original site, but with an added social networking component that makes use of the iOS camera capability. Users will be able to snap pictures of wedding-related items that interest them to share with selected buddies. Like the newly-redesigned site, the iOS service is easy to navigate, and visuals feature heavily.
Transit Platform Tells Users Whether To Take A Cab Or The Train
Transit aggregator Corral Rides gives users multiple transportation options in one app. You simply type in your destination and it shows you pricing and schedule or time for each option. The app can even show you Lyft, Sidecar, and Uber availability so you won't have to open them all. It's also integrated with NextBus so you'll know when to speed it up or take your time when catching the bus or subway.
Twitter Images Of Local Events Keeps Neighbors Connected
Vizible, one of the latest iOs Twitter apps to come out, allows users to search for Twitter photos based on location. By simply choosing a location radius, you can browse through photos that were shared on Twitter in your area. You can look for photos within a radius of 1km, 5km, 10km, or even 50km and and retweet your favorite images, among other capabilities.
Uber For Massages Lets Its Users Book On-Demand Relaxation
Zeel originally launched in 2012 with their mobile service which enabled you to find wellness professionals in the local area. Same-day massage seemed to be the most requested service, so the company recently launched an iOS app allowing users to send out a request to masseurs in the local area for an in-house Swedish or deep tissue massage, lasting from 60-90 minutes. The request will keep circulating until someone accepts the appointment and starts making their way to your house.

ReginaldoThe Mustang 11 IFS is a good choice if you are looking for a good ride and lowering a couple and even have disc brakes along with power steering. With the IFS you will need to weld in the front cross member. It all goes back to how much you want to spend, I've restored/customized one of these and its best if you spend a little extra and it looks great also. The 350 LT1 is a great choice just study the type of headers you will need. I'm not sure the rear end differential (mines 342) but if you are using the housing and all 56" from axle plate to axle plate will be great and the 700R trans is good choice, transmission mount may have to be backed shortly (just not sure. Speedway Motors can help you a lot they have support people that do this everyday..Good luck and keep me posted

Reality TV Buzz
Just before BacheloretteKaitlyn dumped Ben H. (big mistake), she said her heart was beating out of her chest. With the distracting and deeply plunging neckline on her gown, I was more concerned about a boob popping out of her dress. Indecent exposure aside, the most priceless moment in Bachelorette history has to be after Kaitlyn took her leave of the final two: Nick and Shawn B. The two guys chugged their champagne and failed to make eye contact or interact in any way. The "nomance" between Nick and Shawn has definitely stolen Kaitlyn's thunder. All attempts to keep the final two under wraps, including flying the guys' loved ones to the completely random location of Utah, did little to squash all the speculation surrounding television's worst-kept secret. We all knew it was going to come down to Nick and Shawn B. So who will Kaitlyn choose and will there be a proposal? Read More... http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelorette/the-bachelorette-season-11-fin-57113.aspx
The Bachelorette ' s final rose ceremony is upon us and it couldn't have come down to two men who hated each other more. On Monday's episode, Kaitlyn will introduce both Nick and Shawn to her family, but Nick's reputation and Shawn's jealous streak cause a bit of concern. Read More... http://www.tvguide.com/news/the-bachelorette-finale-poll/?rss=breakingnews
On The Bachelorette , Joe proved to be a bad "breaker-upee" when Kaitlyn ditched him during a three-on-one-date. The guy spent a few minutes in the spotlight when he smooched with Kaitlyn during a group date in San Antonio, disappeared for the length of a bible, and then re-appeared just in time to proclaim his love and buy himself more time. While it is a load of crap that Kaitlyn told Joe she had to hear him exclaim his adoration for her in order to determine she didn't reciprocate his feelings, Joe didn't prove to be much of a southern gentleman when he threw a minor tantrum and stomped off into the sunset. No need for the additional manufactured drama, we've got plenty already. Read More... http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelorette/the-bachelorette-prediction-wh-56964.aspx
Okay, ABC. I'm getting a little tired of your emotional manipulation. Your teaser promo for the June 29, episode of The Bachelorette had me believing that the Nick shit had finally hit the fan. But all you did was meticulously edit show footage that was really about Kaitlyn paying Shawn a late-night visit (some might call it a booty call) while they were in San Antonio that left him convinced he was "the one." Mainly because that's what Kaitlyn told him. But while I was denied Kaitlyn's dramatic revelation to the remaining bachelors that she banged Nick, Chris Harrison did drop a bombshell that made my job a whole lot easier: Kaitlyn has narrowed her choices down to three guys in time for the fantasy-suite dates which will take place before the hometown visits. Read More... http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelorette/the-bachelorette-prediction-wh-56912.aspx
All I can say about the latest episode of The Bachelorette is "Wow!" Who could not love Ian's narcissistic rambling and his conviction that he should be the next Bachelor ? I loved that he took Kaitlyn to task for having loose lips and not in the chatterbox kind of way. His big moment was only mildly upstaged by Nick, who capitalized on the situation by jumping on the emotionally wounded Kaitlyn like she was an injured gazelle and he was a starving lion. Nick was only too happy to reassure her that he was okay with her being somewhat vapid. Read More... http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelorette/the-bachelorette-prediction-wh-56836.aspx
Usually during The Bachelorette, the contestants are all competing for the same girl, with the exception of a few villains who are blatantly not in it "for the right reasons" (ahem, Bentley of Ashley Hebert's season). Read More... http://feeds.wetpaint.com/~r/wetpaint/latest/excerpt/~3/PIKnJ3vHiVc/
It may not be the height of the TV season during the summer, but it sure is the height of the wedding season! Whether you're a happy (or bitter) single, a blushing bride (or groom) to be, happily married, or anything else in the relationship spectrum, there's one part of wedding season we can all embrace: the drama that is TV weddings of past and recent TV seasons. So with that said, it's June. It's hot out there, and there are some stressed-out brides tackling each other for their dream dresses on sale. So let's make our favorite TV brides and grooms fight it out too in our SideReel wedding wars! Comment below nominating your favorite TV weddings, and feel free to list as many as you want, plus list those already noted by another Reeler. Nominations will be accepted Friday (6/26) through Monday (6/29), then we'll begin the wedding war voting rounds for SideReel's favorite wedding! Go forth and nominate!
can someone pls provide me a link for episode 5 that will play in Canada?
I love this show. I can't wait to see new season with Jillian. Jillian deserves to find Her Prince. I hope she gets treated right from the 25 guys she has to choose from.
from watching the show i feel deanna choice should be jason, on the home dates they such a wonderful family. deanna made the right choice sending graham home, he was not ready and if she had kept him there she would have been left broken hearted again. i think deanna is a great girl, from the final 3 the choice she needs to make to be happy is jason.

Was coming home from work today in my Mk4 20th anniversary and stumbled across another GTi (mk5, rare around here) we cruised side by side for sometime and then we hit a red light. The other owner and I talked for a second he said it was a stock (believe it was a DSG) but as soon as the light changed we both bolted. I ended up taking the win by a few feet, we ran out of safe road and going 100+ didnt feel like risking anymore. Just thought Id share my first kill in my new GTi, love the fact it was another GTi that i faced.
Mods: Full 3" exhaust w/cat, CAI, and Front Mount (makes me spike to 11psi and drop to 9)
Nice to see the mods are doing something

The Suit That Changes Everything
Superfast, Superexpensive Gear Upends College Swimming; Teams That Go Without Get Left Behind
By Matthew Futterman, Wall Street Journal, 3/24/09
For the Auburn University men's swimming team, the most important moment of this week's NCAA Division I Championship meet will occur when the team arrives at its hotel and finds out whether Speedo has delivered its high-tech LZR Racer swimsuits.
With the suits, which allow swimmers to float higher and cut through the water as never before, Auburn has a chance to remain among college swimming's pre-eminent teams. Without the suits, they have no shot.
"We're hoping and praying the suits turn up," said Brett Hawke, the team's assistant coach.
A controversial about-face by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in September has turned college swimming upside down this season. Programs that never spent more than a few hundred dollars to outfit their athletes had to beg, borrow and scrounge to come up with nearly $20,000 for a season's supply of the new generation of superfast, superexpensive swimsuits like the ones Michael Phelps wore in the Beijing Olympics.
In total, swimmers have set 82 world records wearing the Speedo LZR since its introduction last year, compared with an average of 15 in the past seven Olympic years. These results have caused a frenzy in a sport that has always seemed largely immune from the influence of technology.
"It's like having one pole-vaulter using a fiberglass pole and another using a wooden pole," said Phil Whitten, executive director of the College Swim Coaches Association. "It's an absolute mess."
FINA, the governing body for international swimming, announced earlier this month that it will begin a series of tests to determine how extensively the suits enhance performance, but it may take several years before a final determination is made and any new standards can be set.
Speedo, the leading manufacturer of the high-tech suits, said all swimmers who requested the suits will have them for this weekend's championships.
Flabby and Lazy
Speedo's LZR ($550), Tyr's Tracer Light ($320) and BlueSeventy's Nero
($395) all compress swimmers from the ankles to the shoulder. They make swimmers more buoyant and have an ultra-smooth exterior that glides through the water far more easily than skin. Most troubling to coaches, the suits seem to help the flabby, lazier swimmers the most, because their fat gets compressed but remains more buoyant than dense muscle, allowing them to float higher in the water and swim faster. Also, the suits tend to fall apart after just a dozen swims, many coaches say.
(Speedo says that if properly handled, the suits can last 30 hours.)
The effects of the technology are rippling through every level of swimming as collegiate programs wrestle with the cost of the suits and junior-level swimmers beg their parents and coaches to buy them several suits each year so they can stay competitive. "If you're not wearing one, you're definitely at a disadvantage," said Ryan Signorin, a 14-year-old swimmer with Peddie School in Hightstown, N.J., who is still waiting for his suit.
Searching for Suits
"I'm very disappointed that our sport has come to a point where I have to be as concerned with the swimsuits as I am with the swimmers," said Dennis Dale, head coach at the University of Minnesota. "I've spent as much time finding suits this season as I have on anything else."
Craig Brommers, director of marketing for Speedo in North America, said the company's factory in Portugal can now produce some 80,000 LZRs annually but was unprepared for the massive demand after 91% of gold medalists in Beijing wore the suit. "There were some shortfalls," said Mr. Brommers. He explained that the high cost reflects the years of research and development Speedo dedicated to the LZR. Speedo is owned by Pentland Group PLC of the U.K. but is licensed to New York-based Warnaco Group Inc. in North America.
Tracy Huth, chairman of the NCAA's rules committee for swimming, said the group does not consider equipment costs when it sets guidelines.
Once FINA affirmed its approval of the suits last year and they became commercially available to everyone, the NCAA followed suit. Mr. Huth said that "there is no empirical evidence the suits provide an advantage."
Many swim coaches say all the evidence is on the pool deck.
In January, Northwestern's Bob Groseth brought his men's team to a four-way meet in Columbus, Ohio, against Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan. Ohio State and Michigan wore the high-tech suits. For budget reasons Northwestern and Penn State had to save their suits for the Big Ten championships. Michigan eked out a 29-point win against Ohio State, but slaughtered Northwestern by 245-83 and Penn State 245-84. "It's tough sending your guys into a meet knowing they don't have the suits the other guys do," Mr. Groseth said last week.
A University of Michigan spokesman said certain swimmers elected to wear the high-tech suits throughout the season.
At the Southeastern Conference Championships last month, several rival schools tried to trade and borrow suits to keep the playing field even.
Jerry Chandler, assistant coach at the University of Georgia, said he spent months acquiring used suits from the U.S. Olympic team and ordering from New Zealand-based BlueSeventy, but still made last-minute trades with University and Alabama and the University of Kentucky to try to get his swimmers in the correct sizes. Then came the ripped zippers and material tears known as "equipment malfunctions." (The suit manufacturers blame improper handling for such problems.)
Pleas to Get Rid of Them
Mr. Chandler's women's 800-yard freestyle relay team lost the race when the back of swimmer Aleksandra Putra's suit ripped open. She swam her leg 1.5 seconds slower than usual. "If it were up to most coaches, we'd get rid of them," he said of the suits.
Lance Huber, head swim coach at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, is in that group. Mr. Huber's school sent 28 swimmers to the Division III national championships last year. This year, his team couldn't afford the high-tech suits and swam in the Speedo FSPro suits, deemed cutting-edge 18 months ago. Just one Luther College swimmer qualified.
One woman who went to the nationals last year, swam a personal record of
5:04 in the 500-yard freestyle in this season's qualifying meet in February. Last year that time would have placed her in the top 15. This year it was good for the top 50.
"It's hard looking at these girls walking into nationals that we beat earlier in the season before they got the new suits," Mr. Huber said.
"Now we're just trying to move forward."

She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and on NBC's The Today Show, ABC's The View and NPR. In 2007, the Wall Street Journal called her the "nation's foremost historical photo detective."
"A family photograph collection is more than a random assortment of images—each picture is a time capsule that documents a moment from the lives of our ancestors."
