EU immigration into Switzerland hit record high before voter backlash
BERNE (Reuters) - More immigrants from the European Union entered Switzerland than ever before in 2013, the year before Swiss voters put their country at odds with Brussels by backing a cap on immigration from the bloc.
A net 66,200 EU citizens emigrated to Switzerland last year, the highest number since a free movement of people pact came into force in 2002, the State Secretariat for Economics (SECO) said in its annual report which examines the effect of the agreement on the Swiss economy.
The SECO figures pre-date February's surprise vote in favour of imposing tighter immigration controls following a campaign which tapped into fears that Swiss culture is being eroded by foreigners, who account for nearly a quarter of the population.
Switzerland said last month it would introduce immigration quotas for EU citizens from 2017, sparking a sharp reaction from the European Union which dismissed the plans as incompatible with the pact that guarantees the free movement of workers.
The SECO report said limits on immigration, given Switzerland's current economic and demographic conditions, could have negative repercussions on the country's growth potential and labour market, while the department's director praised the impact of the free-movement pact.
"Whatever its fate may be, the current free movement of people agreement has strengthened the competitiveness of businesses in Switzerland and has enabled the Swiss economy to post above-average growth in recent years," SECO Director Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch told journalists in Berne.
More than 60 percent of the European immigrants came to Switzerland to work, the SECO said. When immigration from non-EU countries is included the net figure stood at 88,000 people, it said.
Since the financial crisis in 2008 the number of workers coming from southern and eastern European member states has increased, the report also found. In the early years of the free-movement pact, the immigration balance was characterised by Germans coming into the country.
The immigration initiative, which passed by fewer than 20,000 votes, has deeply unsettled the Swiss business establishment and the SECO report found net immigration is closely linked to Switzerland's economic growth. Continued...

Limited-Enrollment Lottery
The online lottery for limited-enrollment courses will open in my.Harvard on Friday, August 19 at 5 p.m., and will remain so until Tuesday, August 30, when it will close at 10:00 a.m. You will find the lottery preferences form in my.Harvard. While the lottery is open, you will be able to add or delete your name to preliminary course "lists" for these courses. The results of the lottery will be posted in my.Harvard later that afternoon. Many of these courses will be presented in-person by instructors on Monday, August 29. during the course presentations. The schedule for the course presentations can be found on the Academic Calendars and Schedules page. Not all courses that are limited will be presented in-person, so please examine the course listing closely.
Enrollment Selection Process
The limited-enrollment lottery will utilize a system that optimizes students' first choices over the entire population, and will employ the same system as that of the studio lottery. In the case of oversubscribed courses, enrollments will be determined based on the numbered wait-list when a student drops the course. Any prerequisites that a course may require should be clearly stated so you will know if you are eligible. Please note that you will only be allowed to select three courses via the limited-enrollment lottery. You should only select a course that you plan on enrolling in if assigned a slot.
Results of the limited-enrollment lottery (closes at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 30) will be posted in my.Harvard during the evening of August 30, and the lists will also be distributed to instructors. Because students may successfully lottery in to more courses than they wish to attend, it is imperative that you attend the first day for those classes you wish to enroll in; otherwise, your name will be crossed off at that time and a student from the wait-list will be offered your spot, assuming they are present. Instructors should post a revised list after the first day of classes; if you decide not to enroll in a course after you attend the first class, please contact the faculty member.
If you do not participate in this lottery process and your name does not appear on a wait-list, you will not be considered for a course.

The shirts with the highest numbers of votes go into something called "The Fog" and a question mark is shown instead of the total number of votes so that who wins is a surprise. Question marks are really good things if you like the shirt.

I'm sure you came up with the idea on your own but this has been around for a while. What about pocket pool? There are probably versions of that around already (possibly in this derby ) but you could probably come up with an original take between billiards or swimming pools. The rejectionator might still get you for innuendo. They tend to frown on the baser types of humor.
Edit: sure enough someone in this derby submitted this
Love the colors, shading, and octopus ... and on navy? Be still my heart.

The industry standard in high-efficiency lighting is quartz-halogen bulbs. These high-tech bulbs use a combination of pressurized gases inside the bulb to scavenge evaporated tungsten from the inside of the glass envelope, allowing the filament to be operated at much higher, more efficient temperature, providing a brighter, whiter light. This in turn requires a higher-temperature rated quartz glass. These bulbs provide a much more consistent output over their lifespan than conventional tungsten bulbs, which grow progressively dimmer as they age. They also provide more lumens per watt, an issue when you're running a lot of lights at the same time to prevent overloading the alternator and battery.
We always recommend adding a relay to provide full battery voltage to any add-on lights, or the lights may not provide full illumination because of the voltage drop from marginal factory wiring. Not to mention the possibility of burning out the factory harness. Installing this relay and harness is simple and only takes a few minutes.

As the original manufacturer of off road lighting, beginning with the Daylighter®, we have a rock solid reputation for quality and performance.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The Northern Arizona women's basketball team struggled all night offensively, shooting a season-worst 26.5 percent in a 71-41 loss to North Dakota at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. The 41 points are a season-low for NAU as it fell to 5-10 in the Big Sky and 8-16 overall.
Junior Erikka Banks converted a three-point play to bring the Lumberjacks within 18-12 with 12:27 in the first half remaining, but the Lumberjacks proceeded to endure an extended scoring drought. NAU missed its next 11 shots over the next eight minutes before freshman Brittani Lusain connected on a jumper to snap a 13-0 UND run. That jump shot sparked a 7-0 NAU run that ended with a layup by senior Amanda Frost that brought the Lumberjacks back to 31-19.
North Dakota entered halftime with a 40-24 lead and unfortunately NAU would not be able to cut into its deficit in the second half. The Lumberjacks once again struggled to score the basketball as their only points through the first nine minutes and 40 seconds were two free throws by Banks at the 18:31 mark. By the time Lusain made NAU's first field goal of the second half with 10:20 left in the game, NAU trailed by 27 points. North Dakota led by as much as 33 in the final 20 minutes as NAU shot just 4-of-20 (20 percent) in the second half.
The Lumberjacks made just 13 field goals, their fewest all season, and failed to hit a three misfiring on all 12 of their attempts from long distance. North Dakota shot 45 percent from the field and held a commanding edge on the glass by a 47-26 margin. NAU forced 19 UND turnovers but was only able to turn that into six points.
Lusain was the lone Lumberjack in double-figures as she finished with a career-high 25 points. Frost and Banks each had six and no other player scored more than two points.
NAU wraps up the week in Greeley, Colo. Saturday afternoon versus Northern Colorado. The game will tipoff at 2 p.m.

Travel Picks: Top 10 new golf courses in 2008
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - The Castle Course at St. Andrews in Scotland was named as the top new golf course of 2008 by Travel + Leisure Golf magazine, which described it as one of the most ambitious designs that would keep golfers talking.
The list, selected by the magazine editors, includes seven courses in the United States and one course each in Scotland, British Columbia, and Dominican Republic. The list is not endorsed by Reuters:
1. The Castle Course, St. Andrews, Scotland (Architect David McLay Kidd) Scotsman David McLay Kidd won the coveted design commission to build a seventh course at St. Andrews and transformed every inch of a derelict 220-acre potato farm on the outskirts of town into the Castle Course. Tumbling, hazard-studded fairways make every tee shot an adventure.
2. The Chase At PGA Golf Club Coyote Springs, Coyote Springs, Nevada (Architect Jack Nicklaus) Situated 50 miles north of Las Vegas, the Chase at Coyote Springs supplies lakes, waterfalls and artful desert buffer zones. Nicklaus tosses in the unexpected with tattered-edge bunkers and intricate contours in and around the greens.
3. Ritz-Carlton Golf Club At Creighton Farms, Aldie, Virginia (Architect Jack Nicklaus) The property is in on terrain laced with wetlands, creeks and ponds. Developers gave Nicklaus several hundred acres of this horse country to transform but his crew left much of it in a natural state. Where the ground was high and dry, he built bunkers, false fronts and lots of undulations.
4. The Club At Tower Ranch, Kelowna, British Columbia (Architect Thomas McBroom) In interior British Columbia as many as 10 courses are opening over a three-year span. The Club at Tower Ranch has broad vistas and bulging hills overlooking Lake Okanagan and the city of Kelowna, a popular summer resort.
5. Tetherow Golf Club, Bend, Oregon (David McLay Kidd) This sporty layout, covering craggy high-desert terrain, merits lavish praise. Tall pines frame some of the holes, but much of the acreage was ravaged by wildfire 15 years ago, leaving open expanses that Kidd used to effect.
6. Sugarloaf Mountain Golf And Town Club, Minneola, Florida (Architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw) Sitting in the hilly outback of scrub oak, citrus groves and quiet country roads, the layout features elevation changes of 200 feet or more and enormous tumbling fairways. Tacking up and down pleasant inclines, the holes are beautifully oriented and paced.
7. The Legacy Course At Roco Ki, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (Architect Nick Fald) This new Faldo course required a midstream re-routing because the tricky island terrain reacted unpredictably to some construction. But Faldo found corridors through upland mangrove. Continued...


text: i was looking into these two brands today. the analasis on them were the same. but looking into the ingrediants dog chow impressed me more because it had chicken by product as 2nd ingrediant while pedigree had meat and bone meal. dog chow also has meat and bone meal but its the 4th or 5th ingrediant. but pedigree has no artificial flavoring and im pretty sure its artificial color is the very last ingrediant while puppy chows is a bit before last ingrediant. what do you think about this?

low pressure after hot water heater replacement
our hot water heater leaked and ruined our floors about 2 months ago. it was replaced and all was well except the kitchen sink (which is about 8 feet away from the hot water heater unit) now has extremely low water pressure. i would say it lost about 70% of its water pressure immediately following the hot water heater breaking. also next to the kitchen sink is the dishwasher, which has been increasingly showing bits of soap in the glasses after its cycles. that leads me to believe the dishwasher also is not getting enough water pressure. the sink does not have hot and cold valves, just one valve that you rotate to choose your water temperature.
all the other faucets/tubs in the house get exactly the same amount of water pressure as before the hot water heater broke. the kitchen pressure is so bad it is almost unusable for most things except washing your hands.
also sort of related but not really, the kitchen sink has always had really funny tasting water. it doesn't taste funny out of any other faucet, but it tastes so strange coming from the sink that we have to use a brita filter for the water. there are also small particles coming out of the water we don't see in the other faucets. i wonder if the combination of those two things means something is wrong with the actual faucet and/or pipes.
anyone have any suggestions or places to look/check? thanks.
It could be possible that something got forced into the line during the replacement process (solder, mineral, piece of rubber, etc). Or whatever was producing the taste/particles became dislodged or something. Don't know how one would go about fixing something like that, though. Just a thought.
too bad you can't put draino through a faucet pipe?
pull the aerator off of the faucet and run the hot water to clean any debris out of the line. your water filter and dish washer probably need to be cleaned too. this is not uncommon after changing a water heater.

Behind The Scenes at Adam Musick's Virginia Farm
Southern Living photographer Gary Clark spent time with musician-turned-pig farmer Adam Musick in Virginia. Here Gary shares a few of his favorite moments from the farm. Gary says the photo above captures the day perfectly. In it Adam portrays: "This is me, this is my land, and this is what I love to do."
"This old grain silo is leftover from when the area was a dairy farm."
"Photographing animals is harder than being a cat wrangler," Gary says. "You have only a short span of time before they stop playing nice. A pig is going to only let you hold him for so long."
"I think Lynyrd Skynyrd's song 'Simple Man' really describes Adam," Gary says. "He has gone from touring in the spotlight of rock-and-roll to returning to his roots, rolling up his sleeves, and going to work with Mother Earth."
"Farming is still a 24/7/365 job. You have to love what you do."
"I love this area of the country," he says. "It's right on the Tennessee-North Carolina-Virginia state line, and it has gently rolling hills, beautifully scenics, and it's rich in Southern history."

I'm undecided on this tea. I like the flavor sometimes but it's a little bit odd. It's sort of chocolaty and nutty and has a strange orangey flavor. I love it for mornings because of the caffeine kick but I guess I just don't love the flavor.

Now in its 36th year, the Ohman School of Ballet was founded by Frank Ohman, former soloist of New York City Ballet and is one of the few remaining direct links to the legendary
George Balanchine. The school opens its doors to all students who wish to study classical ballet and also serves as a training ground for promising young dancers. It is a not-for-profit, non-recital, state-of-the-art facility with 3 spacious studios with convenient location and ample parking. The school, together with its company New York Dance Theatre, presents the largest Nutcracker production on Long Island annually at Hofstra University, as well as spring/summer performance opportunities.

Formal ballet classes are offered at 5 levels from beginner to advanced in a nurturing atmosphere with an expert teaching staff headed up by Frank Ohman. While instilling joy and appreciation for this art form, it also builds confidence and focus in children that stays with them into adulthood. The primary goal of the Ohman School of Ballet teachers is to make each child the best dancer that he/she can be.

The Early Childhood Program at the Ohman School of Ballet is geared towards instilling creativity, discipline and a love for ballet in our young students. The Ohman School offers classes in Creative Movement for tots and Introduction to Ballet for ages 4-6. (Ages are only a general guideline. Class placement is determined on an individual basis through input from parents, teachers and staff.)
Class size is limited in the early childhood program, ensuring one-on-one attention. Our tiny dancers explore the characters and music of various classical ballets, are introduced to classical ballet steps, learn to create their own movements, practice in costume, and "perform" for their parents and teachers.

The Frank Ohman School of Ballet was founded in 1979 by Frank Ohman, former soloist at New York City Ballet (NYCB) and is one of the few remaining direct links to the teaching of George Balanchine.
Currently located in Commack, the school serves as a training ground for promising young dancers and offers aspiring students the opportunity to learn classical ballet in the tradition of George Balanchine. The Frank Ohman School of Ballet will guide your child from first steps to advanced technique, while instilling a true appreciation and love for this timeless art form. The school is a non-competition, non-recital school, focusing on proper classical ballet technique.
Our students have been accepted into some of the most prestigious summer training programs in the country including American Ballet Theater, San Francisco Ballet, Boston Ballet, Chautauqua, Miami City Ballet, Orlando Ballet, New York State Summer School of the Arts, The Rock School, Walnut Hill School, Joffrey Ballet and Ballet Academy East. Alumni have gone on to dance professionally with companies including New York City Ballet, Pittsburg Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, Ballet Austin, Ballet Hispanico and MOMIX. Others have gone on to ballet related positions such as director of marketing for Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and some have opened their own ballet schools. Whatever our students' futures hold in store for them, they leave here with an understanding of discipline, dedication and self-awareness which helps them in any endeavors. A division of the New York Dance Theatre, Inc., the Ohman School has become an integral part of the company, and is one of the very few not-for-profit ballet schools in the region. It offers three studios with state-of-the art flooring to Balanchine specifications and a highly qualified teaching staff headed up by artistic director Frank Ohman.

In the scene where D.L. is shot, the shooter is on the left, off screen, and D.L. is on the right, off screen, with Niki in the middle. When the gun fires, it fires on the right hand side of the screen, yet the blood on Niki's face comes from the left hand side.
This season, Nathan Petrelli has longer hair and Peter's is shorter. With the flashback sequence in which Nathan carries Peter skyward (following from season 1's How to Stop an Exploding Man when their hair lengths were opposite), it's easy to tell that Adrian Pasdar has a slickback hairstyle to make it look shorter from last season and Milo Ventimiglia is wearing a wig to make his look longer.
Goof: Based on the events in the Season One episode "Company Man", the Haitian turned against The Company and went rogue. Furthermore, The Company didn't know where the Haitian was after he left Texas with Claire. So, why was he working with The Company to capture Peter and suppress his powers the night of the explosion? Furthermore, why was the Hatian working with Elle several weeks later to capture Peter and Adam when they escaped?
Goof: How does Peter still have his clothes after exploding and regenerating? Though his body could regenerate, the clothes would have been blasted off him upon exploding even if they didn't disintegrate.
The last flashback occurs three weeks prior to the present, and shows Nathan freshly recovered with the help of Adam's healing blood. Three weeks doesn't seem like nearly enough time for him to grow the amount of facial hair that he has when we first see him in Episode 1 of Season 2.
When Maya starts to produce black tears, the amount of them varies between shots.
Why didn't DL just phase through the bullet when he was shot? He was fast enough to phase through the guy's punch, and he didn't pull his gun out any faster than that.
(Nathan is flying while holding Peter)
Peter: You gotta let me go, Nathan!
Nathan: You go, I go!
Peter: No! I'll be okay. You can fly, I can't.
Nathan: What do you mean?
Peter: It's taking everything in me, all my power not to explode! Let me go!
Peter: So I just take these pills every day?
Elle: Yep. It's a little cocktail they cooked up here in the lab. It controls the abilities. Dampens them.
Peter: Like that guy who was standing in the corner of Bob's office.
Elle: The Haitian. Yeah. Sort of. So, let's just call them "Haitian pills."
Elle: I accidentally set my grandmothers house on fire when I was six. I caused a blackout in four counties in Ohio when I was eight. I spent my ninth birthday in a glass room with an IV of Lithium in my arm. I've lived in this building for sixteen years, ever since the shrink's diagnosed me as a sociopath with paranoid delusions, but they were just out to get me because I threatened to kill them. I'm 24 years old and I've never gone on a date, never been on a roller coaster, never been swimming. And now you know everything there is to know about me. I don't have the luxury of being more interesting than that.
Bob: As long as your abilities are in control of you, you will always be a hazard; to yourself, to your family…
Elle: To the whole world.
Peter: Believe me, if I could turn them off, I would.
Elle: Don't worry; we've done that for you.
Niki: No, I'm finished with Jessica!
Bob: How do you know a new personality won't emerge? I can get you all the help you need; the best care in the world.
Niki: Uh-huh. What's the catch?
Bob: The catch is, you have to leave your family and enter the program.
Micah: We could be like the Fantastic Four. Minus one, but still…
D.L.: Micah, I wanna be a hero to you, and I think I finally found a way to do that. I think I got a job. A good job!
Micah: Doing what?
D.L.: Something that's gonna make you proud of me, I promise.
Adam: (to Peter) Lemme guess, you were living a perfectly ordinary life until one day you discovered you could do incredible things. Bet it was wonderful at first, y'know, thought perhaps you could save the world. And then you realized, tragically, that you were dangerous. Why don't you talk to me after a decade? Actually, talk to me after three.
Peter: I remember. I remember everything.
Adam: Good, then. Shall we save the world?
Elle: Bye, Peter.
Peter: Ahh... that hurts.
Elle: You'll get used to it. And then you'll start to like it.
Bob: He's not a toy, Elle.
Elle: He could be.
Peter: Where am I?
Bob: Someplace safe.
Bob: But your brother. That's a different story. He almost died.
Elle: Because of you, Peter. Hey, it's not like it was your idea to go nuclear and take out half of New York City. (while playing with Peter's hair)
Peter: Day number five without the meds.
Adam: Then I think it's time to try. Come on, Peter. You can do it. (talking to Peter, when he is going through the wall)
Peter: It's nice to finally meet you. You know, for 400 years, you've held up pretty well.
Adam: Come on, let's go heal your brother.
Adam: Peter, what the hell was that?
Peter: Do you know me?
Adam: Of course, I know you. Peter it's me, Adam. Don't you remember. Together we're going to change history.
Peter: I'm sorry. I don't.
Adam: I see the Haitian has taken liberties with your mind.
Peter: The Haitian?
Adam: That explains why you fell off the face of the earth. But you can get back your memory. I know how.
Peter: How?
Adam: Healing. You can do what I can do. Which means the mind has to repair itself.
Peter: How do you suggest I go by doing that?
Adam: Think about what matters most to you. Do you know what that is?
(Peter pulls out a picture of Nathan and him from his pocket)
Adam: His name is Nathan.
Peter: Nathan. (breathes in deeply) Nathan.
Niki: I thought I lost you.
D.L.: Girl, I told you. You're never getting rid of me.
Mohinder: (voiceover) There are many ways to define our fragile existence; many ways to give it meaning. But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context. The private assortment of images: fears, loves, regrets… for it's the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light, the good with the evil, success with disappointment… this is what separates us, what makes us human. And in the end, we must fight to hold on to.
Mohinder: (voiceover) It is man's ability to remember that sets us apart. We are the only species concerned with past. Our memories give us voice and bear witness to history, so that others might learn; so they might celebrate our triumphs and be warned of our failures.
(Elle knocks out Peter)
Bob: Did you have to use the full blast on him?
Elle: He can take it.

In the promo for this episode it mentions that we'll find out what happened to Sylar four months ago, but apart from one montage-related scene (where he doesn't even get a line) Sylar doesn't appear in this episode.
This is the second episode to feature the title name against a blank screen, rather than blended into the environment. (The first was "Four Months Later...")
Music Featured In This Episode:
"We Interrupt This Program" by Coburn
Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman) and Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura) don't appear in this episode. Aside from a brief clip from How to Stop an Exploding Man Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennet) and Jack Coleman (Noah Bennet) don't appear either. Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder Suresh) appears only via his typical voiceover near the beginning and end of the episode.
Power Developments:
Peter: It is revealed in this episode how Peter has gained Elle's powers of generating electricity. His blood might temporarily have the same healing effects as Adam/Claire. Also, we learn that he did absorb D.L.'s power of walking through solid objects.
Adam/Claire: A transfusion of Adam's blood can temporarily give the recipient rapid cellular regeneration. It can be assumed Claire's blood would have the same effect.
Adam/Claire/Peter: Due to his healing ability, Peter can reverse the Haitian's memory wipes via healing the part of the brain that controls memory. It is assumed that Claire and Adam would also be able to do this.
Adam Monroe: If he is telling the truth, it would appear that Adam's regenerative abilities allow him to avoid the normal aging process.
This is the 4th episode to have a title referring to months or years.
Micah: We could be like the Fantastic Four. Minus one, but still…
The Fantastic Four is a Marvel comics super-hero team which first appeared in 1961, and was made into a movie in 2005.

Key To My Heart
Late at night when I'm sound asleep,
Into my heart you softly creep.
I sit and wonder how it could be,
But you must have stumbled across the key.
This key holds the secret to true love and more,
So take it now and unlock the door.
And I pray that we will never part,
Now that you have the key to my heart.

Hey folks,
any owners on this forum know anything or have working knowledge of Epic Engineering?
Just wondering if the really good pricing is indicative of craftsmanship or is it really a steal?
They have a good combo package that includes a Rear Sway bar (20mm) and a spring kit that drops the car 1"(rear) and .6"(front). I know my struts would bite it soon after, but I may just go ahead and get the KYB AGX shocks as well.
Really just want to know if any other Subie owner tried this combo.

anybody remember this LMG attempt from back in the 80s?:kick:

anybody remember this LMG attempt from back in the 80s?:kick:
Yup, Shot Gun News ran ads on them for a year or so, At that time frame I think they were selling for $550.00 to $650.00 range. I saw a guy at the Hernando machine gun shoot using one on a M16 lower i believe, it ran quite well.
there were a number of attempts to turn the m16 into a LMG. i got to run the field with one back in 1982. it was kind of heavy for a m16 derived weapon but it was much lighter than the short barreled m-60s we had been using.
then the m249 came along--LOL!
M249 sucks ass but the one's I shot where at infantry school were beat to hell and jammed alot but they where beat up and shot out.
Now the M240G on the other hand was a work of art, man do I miss those sooo well made I loved it. There are times I think of leaveing my wife to be with a M240G again.
If you want a MG it needs to be belt fed!!!
the one in the link fired from an open bolt. we had those and we also had some modified H-bar m-16s for the auto-rifleman concept.
all it was was a m-16a1 with a H-bar made out of some kind of expensive "goobertonium" steel and triple chrome lined--they may have been n2 treated as well.
sort of like the m249 barrel but fitted the m-16.
as i recall we shot the jeebers out of them. never did get those 100rd drums though.
they never did cook off even though there were closed bolt. the gas tubes would glow red and the handguards would smoke some as they were just run of the mill a1 parts.
i suppose with the 30rd mags it was just tough to heat-sink the barrel --LOL!
the good thing though was they were only slightly heaver than a m-16.
we never did give up the m60 till we ran that thing well into the late 80s and used up all the spare parts.
a very nice LMG that was 5.56 came from the star plant in spain it was like a mini-mg34-44
a very reliable and light weapon but it suffered from the NIH disease with the DOD and socom. the skipper had talked about buying a few of those but couldn't for some paperwork reason. could be used in testing but not deployed or some such rubbish.
I remember those. We sold at least 100 of them. We got them direct from Colt, along with the conversion kits for the lowers to allow for Open bolt operation. We typed up a nice letter for each buyer to sign stating that they understood that installation of the conversion parts in any firearm would render that firearm illegal under both the NFA and GCA....
Still sold like hotcakes....
didn't know it was a open bolt gun, Kind of like that Idea.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2014 (1225 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A roundtable discussion for Canadian Forces members, veterans and the public will be held Feb. 23 in Brandon, hosted by Brandon-Souris Conservative MP Larry Maguire.
The goal of the event is to seek recommendations in connection with the federal government's ongoing review of the New Veterans Charter.
"I want to hear what people are saying … but I also want them to know what the government has done and straighten out some of the misinformation that's been out there," Maguire said. "This was a priority for me during the election campaign, it was a priority as soon as I got to Ottawa."
Edmonton Centre Conservative MP Laurie Hawn, a member of the veterans affairs committee and RCAF veteran, will also be in attendance.
The federal government's review of the New Veterans Charter includes an examination of the enhancements that have been made to it to date, with a special focus placed on how best to respond to the needs of the most seriously injured service members and veterans, offer support for families and effectively deliver programs by Veterans Affairs Canada.
Recommendations put forward by participants at the Brandon-Souris roundtable will be presented to the federal government and members of the House of Commons veterans affairs committee.
The event will be held Sunday, Feb. 23, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Canad Inns, Ambassador Room B.
The roundtable is open to everyone, but interested participants are requested to register by either emailing email@example.com or calling 204-726-7600.

Calgary police have formally announced murder charges against Douglas Garland, a day after concluding that a five-year-old and his grandparents, missing for the past two weeks, are dead.
The bodies of Alvin Cecil Liknes and Kathryn Faye Liknes and their grandson Nathan O'Brien have not been located. This makes the charges especially unusual, experts say.
"The preponderance of evidence is such that it has led our investigators to believe that they are dead," Calgary Police Chief Rick Hanson told reporters Monday. "Hence, two counts of first-degree murder, one count of second-degree murder."
"It is safe to say that even as the days went by, there's always a hope. There's always a glimmer of hope," Chief Hanson said. "Unfortunately, with the laying of the charges, we've taken that hope away from the family."
Investigators made an arrest in the case at 1:30 a.m. Monday, near an acreage outside Airdrie, Alta. Mr. Garland, who police called a "person of interest" in the missing persons case, lived on this property, owned by his parents.
Mr. Garland is now charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Kathryn and Alvin Liknes, and one count of second-degree murder in the death of Nathan O'Brien. His next court appearance will be on Wednesday, Calgary police said in a news release.
Officers called the case a "mystery" when they launched the investigation, and the most significant question – the location of the bodies – remains unanswered despite police pressing murder charges. Chief Hanson on Monday pleaded with landowners around Airdrie, where Mr. Garland lived with his parents, to search their properties for anything suspicious. He urged energy companies operating in nearby fields and pastures to be vigilant in looking out for anything unusual. Calgary Police Service members and RCMP officers have already combed through the Garlands's rural property, nearby swamps and a pasture. They also picked through two of Calgary's three landfills. More than 200 officers were assigned to the case and 900 tips came in, Chief Hanson said.
"This level of public support and engagement has never been seen in previous investigations of this magnitude," he said at the press conference. "This file has been built piece by piece by piece by piece. [If] somebody out there is thinking that there is one piece that is the smoking gun, one piece of information that has led to a break in the case, I'm here to tell you that this has been the compilation of an immense investigation."
Chief Hanson would not discuss why police believe the three family members are dead, saying only that the evidence "removed all doubt that it was a missing persons file [and] supported our now-firmly-held belief that it is a homicide." He would not discuss when police believe Nathan and Mr. Liknes, 66, and Ms. Liknes, 53, died. He did not reveal a motive.
Mr. Garland knew the family. There was no sign of forced entry at the Liknes home, where the three were last seen by Nathan's mother on June 29.
Ian Savage, president of the Calgary-based Alberta Criminal Defence Lawyers Association, said it is rare for murder charges to be laid if no bodies have been found. He estimates it happens in only 1 per cent of murder cases.
"What this suggests is that the police have strong circumstantial evidence or forensic evidence or both," Mr. Savage said. "On the flip side [with no bodies], it means the chance of a successful defence improves."
Ed Ratushny, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, is a celebrated lawyer whose work in the field of criminal evidence has been published and cited by the Supreme Court of Canada.
"A case like [this] will turn on 'circumstantial' rather than 'direct' evidence," Prof. Ratushny said in an e-mail. "But in each situation, every essential element of the offence must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Obviously, there is no direct evidence such as a witness to the murder, so a jury would have to be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt from the 'circumstances' that there actually was a murder as well as that the accused committed this murder."
Mr. Garland is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 6 on charges relating to identity theft. Police laid those charges early last week after they released Mr. Garland from questioning regarding the disappearances. The identity-theft charges meant he spent last week in the Calgary Remand Centre until he made bail Friday, which came with a string of conditions, including abiding by a curfew between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Patti Garland, Mr. Garland's sister, is in a common-law relationship with Allen Liknes, one of Alvin and Kathryn Liknes's sons. Allen Liknes joined Rod O'Brien, Nathan's father, when Mr. Garland appeared in court July 4 via closed-circuit television on the identity-theft charges.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Alberta Premier Dave Hancock and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi all expressed condolences Monday. Nathan's parents work at Cenovus Energy Inc., and its chief executive also offered his sympathies.
Police lay first-degree murder charges when they believe they can demonstrate "preintent," Chief Hanson said. They apply second-degree murder charges when "preintent – the intent to commit the act – may not be there."
Nathan, who was just learning to print and has one older brother and one younger brother, was sleeping over at the Liknes home the evening of June 29.
"Nathan wasn't supposed to be there," Mr. O'Brien said in a press conference July 2.

As we reminisce about our years of selling berries, we think of all the wonderful customers we have enjoyed serving. As Mom says, " People who pick berries are nicer!"
The berry patches are nestled around 90 acres of woods, ponds and open space. The peace and quiet feels like you are far away but we are conveniently located on the outskirts of Ann Arbor.
We love kids and encourage children and school groups to come to the farm. They get
so excited about picking their own berries right off the plants, or picking out gourds
and pumpkins - instead of picking out a plastic tray from the grocery store. What a great experience it is for them to see the farm and a way of life that is disappearing from this area.

|[RELEASE][3.4.1]: update on the current status ...
|Thu, 23 Aug 2012 13:52:39 GMT
Hi, as the so called release manager I would like to give an update where we are with the release and the final release preparation. You all know we passed the PPMC and IPMC vote successful, the first important step towards our release. The second important step is the final preparation what I would call the release publishing process. This include updates of the download page and several other pages that are related to the release. Preparing a blog, the release notes etc. and reviewing this. We did a good job here as team and many many hands were involved to put everything together. I have also finished my final last minute tests and think we are done. Based on the collected info and feedback from all of you and my own tests I would say we are done and ready . We can go live and can publish everything that is in our pipeline!!! Potential minor problems can be addressed on the fly ;-) I would like to say thank you to all of you for your hard work and the patience with me and too many and too fast prepared snapshot builds and potential RC's. The good thing is we learned again some things and can improve the lessons we learned in the future. But again thank you very much to all of you for the hard work. Let's go public now! Juergen

HANOVER, N.H. -- The Ancient Eight has traveled up to Dartmouth to compete in the Ivy League Heptagonal Indoor Track & Field Championships at Leverone Field House.
Sunday's finals will be streamed live on The Ivy League® Digital Network, starting at 12pm.
The last five times the Ivy League Indoor Track & Field Championships have been held at Dartmouth, Princeton has won three times and Cornell twice. Which is not at all surprising, considering the two teams have combined to win 19 of the past 20 championships. In fact, the last time a team not from Ithaca, N.Y. or Princeton, N.J. won the championship was in 1997, when it went to Penn.
In 2013, the Big Red bested the Tigers, 157-156, in the closest finish since the 1986 indoor championships, when Princeton defeated the Big Red, 96 ¾-96.
The Tigers lost five 2013 first-team All-Ivy performers to graduation, while the Big Red lost two, but both teams are re-tooled and ready to go. Princeton certainly wants to get back to the top of the standings, while Cornell wants to win its second-straight title for the first time since going back-to-back in 2008 and 2009. But both squads will have to get past the other six teams, who look to have something to say about this year's championship.
Team-by-team breakdown:
The Bears look to their middle distance teams to garner valuable points. Sophomore Ned Willig, who won the 1K last season, ranks first in this event, just ahead of senior Colin Savage, who is third. Willig also holds the third-fastest 800m time in the League this season, while junior Henry Tufnell and senior Matt Bevil rank fourth and fifth, respectively. Brown went 1-2 in the heptathlon in 2013, and both athletes are back in senior Evan Weinstock and junior Peter Rhodes. Weinstock, who is looking to become the first back-to-back winner for Brown in the pentathlon since Colm Moran in 1990-91, holds the highest mark in the League this season (5,214), while Rhodes is close behind with a score of 5,132.
The Lions return its entire 4x800m relay team that placed second a year ago in junior Brendon Fish, junior Connor Claflin and seniors John Gregorek and Harry McFann. McFann also was the runner-up in the 800m, an event in which he ranks first in the League this season, just ahead of Fish, who is second. Fish also holds the fourth-fastest 1K time this year, just ahead of Gregorek (fifth) and freshman Rob Napolitano (sixth). Gregorek, meanwhile, also ranks seventh in the mile, just ahead of junior Daniel Everett (eighth), who is also fourth in the 3K. Gregorek, McFann, Fish and Everett's DMR time of 9:30.72 is the Ivy's best this season and second-fastest in League history. In the field events, sophomore Chancelor Griffin is sixth in the triple jump and senior Duncan Dickerson ranks seventh in the weight throw.
The Big Red is ranked No. 24 in the latest USTFCCCA National poll. Cornell returns a number of All-Ivy performers from a year ago, including senior Bruno Hortelano-Roig, who won the 400m and is ranked first in the 60m this season. Sophomore Max Hairston is the defending 60mH champion and his time this season (7.92) is sixth-best in League history, while last year's 800m champion senior Will Weinlandt is ninth in this event in 2013-14. Junior Stephen Mozia, who holds four of the top-five all-time shot put marks in Ivy League history, including an Ivy-best 67-4 set this season, looks to become the Big Red's first shot put champion since Zach Beadle in 2005. Mozia finished second in both the shot put and the weight throw a year ago. Senior Montez Blair, meanwhile, held off Penn All-American Maalik Reynolds to win the high jump in 2013 and looks to do it again in 2014; the two have each cleared 7-4 ¼ (fourth-best all-time mark in Ivy League history) this season. Sophomore Bryan Rhodes holds the top weight throw in the League in 2014, reaching 64-10 ½.
The Big Green's distance runners hope to pick up key points, including junior Will Geoghegan, who ranks first in the mile and second in the 3K. His mile time of 3:58.04 is an all-time Ivy best, while his 3,000m time of 7:51.57 is second-best all-time in the League behind the person who finished just ahead of him in that particular race, Harvard's Maksim Korolev. Dartmouth junior John Bleday ranks fourth in the mile (4:00.69) and ninth in the 3K. Freshman Alex Frye will pull double duty for the Big Green, as he ranks fifth in the high jump and eighth in the 60mH. Senior Josh Cyphers is fifth in the pole vault and junior TJ Servino ranks ninth in the weight throw.
The Crimson took third last season with 86 points, its best finish and highest points total since the 1985 Championships at Dartmouth, when it won the championship with 108. Senior Maksim Korolev, the 2013 Indoor 3K and 2013 Ivy League Cross Country champion, holds the fastest times in the League this season in both the 3K (7:51.52) and the 5K (13:42.56). In fact, those times are the fastest all-time in Ivy League history in their respective events. His teammate James Leakos ranks second in the League in the 5K with a time of 13:51.22, which marks the fourth-fastest time in League history. Also on the track, Harvard returns the 2013 60m runner-up in senior Connor McCarthy, while fellow classmate Andrew Ezekoye ranks second in that event this season. In the field, the Crimson won the shot put (senior Dustin Brode) and the weight throw (junior Ben Glauser) last season; each ranks second so far this year in their respective event.
Senior three-time All-American Maalik Reynolds looks to return to the top of the podium in his signature event, the high jump, after just losing out to Cornell's Montez Blair last season. Both have cleared 7-4 ¼ to lead the League this season, fourth-best all-time mark in Ivy history. The Quakers also have sophomore Sam Mattis, who ranks eighth in the shot put and 10th in the weight throw, and junior Mato Bekelja, who is sixth in both the 500m and 800m. Bekelja was also a member of the Quakers' 4x800m relay team that holds the fastest time in the League so far this season. Sophomore Ben Bowers is third in the 60mH and fellow classmate Thomas Awad ranks fifth in the 3,000m.
The Tigers return eight All-Ivy performers from a year ago, including senior Damon McLean, who won both the long jump and the triple jump; senior Tom Hopkins, who placed second in the 400m and was a part of the winning 4x400m relay team; senior Chris Bendtsen, who placed second in both the 3K and 5K. McLean is looking to become the first four-time triple jump champion since Cornell's James Leonard from 1972-75 and Princeton's first back-to-back long jump champion since Ugwunna Ikpeowo in 1995-96. He ranks first in the triple jump this season, while his teammate Hopkins is first in the long jump. Hopkins also has the top time in the 500m and the second-fastest time in the 400m, while Bendtsen ranks third in the 3,000m. Senior Michael Williams is second in the mile, although his time of 3:59.63 ranks sixth in Ivy history. Sophomore Adam Bragg's pole vault clearance of 17-1 ½ is best in the League this season.
Bulldogs freshman Marc-Andre Alexandre has burst out the gate running, so to speak, as his 400m time of 47.45 is best in the League this season. He would be Yale's first 400m champion since Charles Clarke in 1993. Alexandre also ranks 10th in the 60m dash. He and senior James Shirvell look to lead Yale on the track, as Shirvell ranks third in the mile with a time of 4:00.54. A win in that event would be Yale's first since Rick Wemple in 1991. In the field events, sophomore Brendan Sullivan is third in the pole vault and looks to become Yale's first winner of that event since Jesse Stern in 1997, while senior Dana Lindberg ranks eighth in the long jump.

"Energy is the capacity to perform work …" (Abbot A.F. 1963 p83), "Pressure is defined as the force acting normally per unit area." (Abbot A.F. 1963 p119); such was the language used in the early 60s text books. It is not surprising that the numbers of pupils choosing physics as an Ordinary (O) Level option was small and it was perceived as being difficult and for boys. In science education circles, notably the Science Masters' Association (which soon turned into the Association for Science Education), there was a move to change the way in which science was taught and consequently physics teaching was to come under the microscope. During that era the Nuffield Foundation dedicated well over £1m on curriculum innovation (equivalent to about £30m today) with science and mathematics being specific targets. As a result of these influences, the 60s was a decade of change in the approach to the teaching of science in secondary schools and the Nuffield dream had begun.

Archive for June, 2013
Two weeks ago today was a VERY special day for us in the CK family! Our Founders, Craig and Christin, celebrated the birth of their little baby girl, Caroline! This week we are able to publicly celebrate with them! Little Caroline came into the world 7 weeks early (born at 33 weeks, 2 days), weighing in at 2lbs, 15oz and 14 3/4 in. Baby, mom and dad are doing wonderful and adjusting to their new life adventure very well! We join with Craig and Christin in praising God for this miracle and look forward to watching her grow up around the craziness of the CK office! (We know, the pictures are so cute, right?)
This week we said goodbye to Leslie, one of our expert Broker reps. A few of us around the office honored her with a "Runaway .5k Race" (Yes, a .5k!) and a homemade, potluck barbecue lunch. Leslie is an avid runner so we thought it would be a fitting way to say goodbye to her and wish her luck on her new adventure. It was a day filled with …
This is part 1 of a series devoted to the most asked questions about Ethernet cabling and accessories. If you have a question that you would like answered or addressed, please leave a comment below or feel free to contact one of our Awesome CK team members either by Live Chat or Email. Now on to the FAQ's!
What are the differences between Cat5E, Cat6 and Cat6A Cables?
While a Cat5E Ethernet Cable is currently sufficient for most needs, it is predicted that Cat6 and Cat6A will take over in the future. Cat6 cables simply offer better performance.
Cat5E gives an available bandwidth of up to 350MHz, whereas Cat6 almost doubles that – with an available bandwidth of up to 550MHz. Cat6 is designed specifically for Gigabit Ethernet specifications. While most systems are not capable of running such speeds, many organizations are choosing to prepare for future needs by going with Cat6 cables.
Cat6 can run much faster speeds than Cat5E, and Cat6A only improves upon those abilities. Cat6 also benefits from improved insertion loss, return loss and several other improvements over the older Cat5E design.
Cat5E, Cat6 and Cat6A Ethernet Cables can all run about 300 feet reliably.
What is the difference between stranded, solid cable, and plenum rated cables?
Cat 5E, 6 and 6a can all be purchased in stranded or …

This week we celebrated the birthday of our amazingly talented, and a little bit crazy, Design Coordinator, Jeremy. He is a little bit of a supper hero/comics and Lego buff, so we decorated his work area appropriately with Avengers, Spiderman, Batman decor, and about a gallon of confetti. The best way to imagine what it actually looked and felt like would be to think of a 6 year old boy's birthday party. (Which is appropriate for him!) Also, he was not looking forward to turning 32 so much that we skipped it for him and went straight to 33.
I thought this was a cool shot that one of the guys captured this week back in our warehouse area. All of the nice, new CK logo'ed boxes all lined up to go to their new homes. And we …

Effect of Iodine Addition on Solid-State Electrolyte LiI/3-Hydroxypropionitrile (1:4) for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Wang, Hongxia, Liu, Xizhe, Wang, Zhaoxiang, Li, Hong, Li, Dongmei, Meng, Qingbo, & Chen, Liquan (2006) Effect of Iodine Addition on Solid-State Electrolyte LiI/3-Hydroxypropionitrile (1:4) for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells. The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part B: Condensed Matter, Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces & Biophysical, 110(12), pp. 5970-5974.
It was observed that the ionic conductivity of the solid-state electrolyte LiI/3-hydroxypropionitrile (HPN) = 1:4 (molar ratio) decreased dramatically with increasing iodine (I2) concentration, which differs from the conduction behavior of the Grotthuss transport mechanism observed in liquid or gel electrolytes. The short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on this electrolyte system increases with increasing I2 concentration until LiI/I2 is 1:0.05 (molar ratio). Beyond this limitation, the Jsc decreases. At low I2 concentrations (I2/LiI 0.05), the Jsc is mainly affected by the diffusion of I3-. An increase of the I2 concentration leads to the enhancement of the diffusion of I3- and an increase of the Jsc. At high I2 concentrations (I2/LiI > 0.05), the factors, including the increased light absorption by the I3-, the increased recombination of electrons at the photoanode with I3-, and the reduced ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, lead to a decrease of Jsc. At the same time, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the DSSC decreases monotonically with the ratio of I2/LiI due to increased dark current in the DSSC. The increased absorption of visible light by the electrolyte, the enhanced dark current, and the reduced ionic conductivity of the electrolyte contribute to the performance variation of the corresponding solid-state DSSC with increasing I2 concentration.

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 8/28/14
Timothy Bradley overcame a knockdown and what he says was a concussion to beat Ruslan Provodnikov in one of the most exciting fights of the year. Bradley, who was fighting for the first time since winning a controversial decision over Manny Pacquiao last June, was awarded a unanimous decision victory by the judges. Two judges had the fight 114-113, while the third had it 115-112 in favor of Bradley, who retained his WBO welterweight title. The two slugged it out for 12 rounds and were left with massive welts and bruises on their faces and bodies. Though Provodnikov won the first two rounds, Bradley rallied in the middle rounds, which is likely where he gained the most points with the judges. He was also lucky that the referee did not rule a knockdown against him in the first round. Bradley took a monster right, stayed on his feet momentarily, and he fell forward to the canvas a few seconds later. For some reason, the referee did not rule it a knockdown, even though Bradley stumbled back to the ground when he attempted to get up (seen below). The horrendous decision by the referee could have cost Provodnikov a point on the judges' cards, which could have resulted in two of them having it a 113-113 draw. Bradley did officially get knocked down in the final round. He was wobbly after taking a severe beating in the final minute of the fight. Bradley dropped his knee to the canvas with 12 seconds left and got up just before the final bell. The final punch stats were in Bradley's favor. He landed 347 of 1000 (35 percent) punches thrown compared to 218 of 676 (32 percent) for Provodnikov, per HBO. He also landed 218 of 511 (43 percent) of power punches, compared to 186 of 514 (36 percent) for Provodnikov. After the fight, Bradley told HBO's Max Kellerman that he was concussed early in the fight. "I think I got a concussion. I know I do," Bradley said with a giggle. "Without a doubt. "This guy is a power puncher," Bradley said of Provodnikov. "He's a great warrior, and I take my hat off to him. He'll beat any 140 and 147-pounder out there. He's the real deal." Bradley's mental state was so bad, he forgot that he had told Kellerman a minute before their interview that he had been concussed. "What did I say? I forgot," Bradley said when Kellerman asked him to repeat what he had told him moments earlier. So, yeah, Bradley overcame a concussion, knockdown, and received a break from the referee to get the win. According to Bryan A. Graham, Bradley will face the winner of Brandon Rios-Mike Alvarado. The winner of that fight will likely face the winner of Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez.
