Reticle Perpendicularity
Reticle Perpendicularity
By Darrell Holland
Long range shooters go through great pains to properly set-up their rifles for long range shooting. Bipods, muzzle brakes, cosine indicators and a host of other widgets often adorn their newly created thunder stick. How many of them actually check to see that their scope reticle is perpendicular to the bore?
Often times they take for granted that the store clerk/gunsmith properly installed the scope and it is true to the rifles bore? Others often cant the rifle and set the reticle to what looks vertical in their opinion? The resulting misalignment can cause problems when we engage targets at long range.
Over the years Ive watched shooters adjust both elevation and windage in apparent dead calm conditions. When queried about the extra windage they dialed, the excuses ranged from rotational drift, to the Coriolis effect? Never once did they question the possibility that the reticle was not perpendicular to the bore. Rotational drift at 500 yards is minimal (approx. 1.5 inches depending upon caliber and bullet) and is of no real concern to the long range hunter. Can you judge point of impact that accurately under field conditions? Probably not?
The Coriolis Effect comes into play if we are shooting at extreme range, 1000 yards plus and is more than not masked by winds between the shooter and his or her target. The earth rotates at approximately 750 miles per hour ( easterly direction), take your time of flight and divide it into 750
miles per hour.
On to bigger and more important things. It is an easy test to determine if your reticle is perpendicular to the bore and requires less ammunition than shooting the BOX. We should all be shooting a quality scope whos turrets are 90 degrees apart and have taken the time to do our best in optically zeroing the reticle ( when setting up the scope mounts) liminating the dreaded erector tube windage/elevation movement when we make an adjustment with our target knobs.
Having done so, we can now move to testing our rifle and scope. Precisely zero the rifle at 100 yds. Staple a fresh sheet of cardboard or butchers paper to the target backer. Using a 4 foot contractors level scribe a plumb line on our paper with a Sharpie felt pen. Make this line 20-30 inches long and at the bottom of the line, scribe a horizontal line that will act as our aiming reference. For those of you who are artistically inclined weve created an inverted capital T.
From the bench, align the reticles vertical wire with the plumb line on the paper and aim at the intersection of our lines. Fire a single round and note its location. Dial 15-20 MOA of UP elevation in our scope and aim at the same reference line. Be sure the reticle is aligned with our plumb line on the paper and fire a second round. If all is well, our bullet should be within a bullet diameter of striking our line, indicating our reticle is indeed perpendicular to the bore. We have now confirmed that our elevation knob is tracking true to the centerline of our bore. Any extreme elevation correction will now launch the bullet inline with our intended target given a dead calm condition.
If for some reason the shooting Gods have frowned upon you and the bullet strikes 1-2 inches left or right of the line, a scope rotation is in order. We must first note the location of our scope to the ring cap, take the Sharpie pen and make a WITNESS mark on the scope tube and ring. We next loosen the ring cap screws and rotate the scope in the direction of our bullet impact. A slight rotation is all that is necessary, be precise in our rotation, a 1/32 or 1/16 circumfrencial rotation will make a big difference in point of impact. Re-zero the rifle ( yes, this is an important step and must not be overlooked) and repeat the above exercise until the bullet strikes our vertical line.** Dont forget to paste the old bullet holes!
Youve now successfully confirmed that your reticle is perpendicular to your rifles bore. Slip the windage/ elevation knobs and set them to 0". Grab the binos, Data Card and start searching for a distant target to shoot. Youll be confident that reticle perpendicularity is no longer a concern when you need to stretch the barrel on your next long shot!
If we take the time to be confident in our equipment by periodic testing and evaluating. We will eliminate our equipment related shooting slumps and can isolate areas that require our focused attention. Position, sight alignment, breathing, trigger squeeze and follow thru are areas we can ALL improve upon.
All too often shooters blame errant shots on equipment, ammunition, imperfect zeros and a host of other excuses. Often times we find that by retracting our eye from the ocular lens we can see the reflection of who is indeed responsible for the missed shot? You will never make any real progress in your shooting if you do not take responsibility for your actions...
Thanks again for the opportunity to share my experiences regarding practical long range shooting.

by the Division of Banks
The Small Business Loan Review Boards provide an independent review process for small business loan applicants who believe that they have been unreasonably denied for a small business loan. These FAQs will help familiarize you with the Small Business Loan Review Boards and the appeal process.
What types of loans are eligible for review by the Small Business Loan Review Board?
The Boards can review denied small business loan applications submitted by Massachusetts businesses with gross revenues of $1 million or less in their preceding fiscal year. The types of loans eligible for review include lines of credit, term loans, overdraft protection on corporate accounts, and corporate credit card requests.
The Boards do not review requests for the acquisition or refinancing of commercial real estate or investment properties.
What happens once I file an appeal?
The Commissioner of Banks appoints an employee of the Division of Banks to serve as the Administrative Secretary for the Small Business Loan Review Boards. When an appeal is received, the Administrative Secretary will contact the lender requesting that copies of the entire loan package be forwarded to the Division of Banks. Once the loan package is received, it is presented to the Board at its next scheduled meeting for review. You will be notified by mail of the Board's decision.
Who serves on the Small Business Loan Review Boards?
Chapter 167, Section 14C of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that each Board shall consist of five members appointed by the Commissioner of Banks, three of whom shall be small business representatives and two of whom shall be representatives of banks or bank holding companies. At least three of the members of each Board shall either live or work within the respective region.
How many Review Boards are there?
The law provides that there shall be four regional Small Business Loan Review Boards operating in the Commonwealth. There is the Boston Metropolitan Area Board which includes the counties of Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex, and Norfolk; the Southeastern Massachusetts Board which includes the counties of Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket; the Central Massachusetts Board which includes Worcester County; and the Western Massachusetts Board which includes the counties of Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, and Berkshire.
What happens during the Review Board Meetings?
The members of the Board will review each small business loan denial to determine if an application was denied on an unreasonable basis. Based on the information contained in the loan file, the Board will vote to either agree with the lender's decision to deny the loan, or will vote to recommend that the lender reconsider the loan denial.
Will I have an opportunity to go before the Board when my loan is reviewed?
Neither the applicant nor the lender are present during the Board meeting. However, you can submit written materials describing any circumstances or facts related to your application. These written materials will be included with the loan package presented to Board members. The Small Business Loan Review Board makes its decision based on the information contained in the lender's loan application file and any other relevant information presented to the Board by you or the lender.
How long does the appeals process take?
The Review Boards meet on an as needed basis depending on the number of appeals awaiting review and the availability of Board members.
If the Board votes that a loan should be reconsidered, does that mean the lender is obligated to grant my loan request?
No. While the Board can make a recommendation that a lender reconsider a small business loan denial, it does not have the authority to grant, approve, or guarantee any loan for any lender. However, lenders are encouraged to abide by the Board's decision.
What happens if the Board votes to agree with the lender's decision to deny my small business loan application?
This ends the matter at the Review Board level and the appeal is considered closed. However, the Review Board will provide you with information on alternative sources of financing, including information regarding relevant small business financing programs offered by the Commonwealth.
What other resources are available for financial or technical assistance for small businesses?
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development and its offices and divisions offer a variety of resources to assist both existing and emerging businesses. The Massachusetts Office of Business Development, through its agent the BDC Capital Corporation, administers the Capital Access Program (CAP) and can provide you with information on available financing and technical assistance programs to assist small businesses. Agencies such as SCORE, Jewish Vocational Services, and the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center Network can provide technical assistance in preparing a financing request.
Various loan guaranty programs are also available through the US Small Business Administration (SBA).
City and town governments occasionally offer technical and financial assistance to small businesses. Check with the economic development department of your local city or town hall to learn about available programs. Your local Chamber of Commerce may also be a good source of information on available programs.
If you have additional questions regarding the Small Business Loan Review Boards or the appeal process, please contact the Division of Banks at (617)956-1500. Outside the Metropolitan Boston area call 1-800-495-BANK. You may also write to the Board at the following address:

Federal safety regulators are investigating problems with the automatic shift levers on several General Motors cars, the Associated Press reports.
The probe began with the Saturn Aura midsize car from the 2007 and 2008 model years, affecting nearly 89,000 vehicles. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website that it's looking into the same problem on other GM cars like the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2005-2008 Pontiac G6. They have similar automatic transmission mechanisms.
The agency says that in some cases the floor shift lever may not match the car's gear. That means a driver could put the car in park but the transmission could be in drive or reverse.
Seven crashes and one injury have been reported to the agency and GM, which says the problem mainly affects models with four-speed transmissions. The Saturn division was closed by GM as part of its bankruptcy reorganization. It no longer exists.

I delayed dental treatment to save money and a cavity ended up becoming a root canal and a cap!!! Great advice, deal with these kind of things ASAP!…
.-= Forest´s last blog ..Save Money On Printing =-.
During your quest for frugality, you can overdo it. Extreme frugal living that negatively impacts someone else is one way. But another way is when you get so consumed by saving that you actually waste money in the process. Have you ever had a frugal flop or had good intentions to save, but it ended up costing you?
Here are a few ways people think they're saving, but actually aren't.
SHOPPING SALES: You go through the sales fliers and see a grocery item is on sale. The store is in another city, and you drive without considering the time or gas it takes. It might end up costing you more than if you had passed on it or simply waited for a local sale. Do the math. If it's worth it, remember that your savings will increase if you buy more than one item and add it to your stockpile. You're not saving money if the ads or coupons entice you to buy items you wouldn't normally buy or if you overbuy and can't consume a product before it goes bad. One reader, D.D. from Missouri, adds: "Pay attention to prices. The stores around here advertise stuff in the flyer (paid placement) or with a big sign like it's a sale item but then sell it at regular price, or it's for a different size than you're used to buying. Sometimes they put stuff on sale for a couple of cents off the regular price, which is no bargain."
DELAYING MEDICAL CARE: You don't seek medical attention because you don't want to shell out money for the bill. Maybe you don't have medical insurance, don't want to miss time from work or it's a bad week financially. Home remedies such as a warm compress, drinking cranberry juice or eating garlic cloves isn't the way to go. Delaying medical attention can make health matters worse and cost you more money.
DIY FLOPS: Know your do-it-yourself limitations. Don't invest in tools and supplies to fix anything that is far beyond the realm of your skill set, or on items that are truly past their usable life, or on projects that might not ever get done or won't be done well enough. There comes a time when an item isn't worth repairing or should be handled by a professional.
SUPPLIES: You might want to cook more at home, so you have new recipes to try. But maybe you don't have everything you need on hand. Aim to cook meals that don't include fancy ingredients, or learn to make do with modifications and substitutions. If you don't have time for projects such as home canning or dehydrating, don't get suckered into buying supplies that will collect dust. If you do have time, do your homework. Another reader, Polly from Pennsylvania, adds a tip: "We've been guilty of purchasing cheap appliances/goods because they were cheap, thinking we were saving money, only to have that item break or need repairs, and dying way before its time. We've learned to buy the very best we can afford and to research a product before purchasing. After we decide what model/product is the best for our price range and the price range just above it, we start bargain hunting for sales, price matching and looking for things like free delivery and installation. Often, we can get such a good deal that we can buy from the price range above because of sales promotions."

Regarding sales, the most important thing is to make sales work for you and not the other way around. This takes a lot of work. My mother used to go out shopping without fail every Saturday just to check the prices of goods. Most of the time, she wouldn't buy anything. She would make a mental list of stuff she wanted and would only buy it at the lowest price. More important, she would know exactly when a store was putting it's "old tat" on sale, meaning stores would offer subpar goods on sales – stuff they they had never sold before – just to entice people into their store.
And for those who say: what about the gas she was using to buy nothing, my mother walked everywhere. This is something people just don't do anymore.
Living alone is especialy hard when bargin hunting for food. I also dont rely on pre-packaged stuff, cooking from scratch is important to me. I do look for sales on meat, but I usually wait until just after the sale. I find that meat is cheaper then with mark downs so the store can sell it. I always buy in bulk and then divide it into single servings, unless I plan a candle lit dinner with my beloved dog lol! Produce is always the hardest for me to use before it goes bad. I use carrots, celery and onions in my rice, soup, stew and even pasta dishes just to use it up. I dont use many paper products or cleaners. I have learned to go without or make my own.

After months of negotiations, The CW has ordered a second season of "Breaking Pointe," the docudrama set inside Salt Lake City's Ballet West.
The show was not exactly a hit in Season 1. It averaged fewer than a million viewers during its six-episode run from May 31 to July 5, a weak showing even for The CW network. But "Breaking Pointe" had a large online audience, and that was enough for the network to bring it back.
"BBC Worldwide [Productions] and our team did a great job putting that show together," CW President Mark Pedowitz said. "I wish it performed slightly better in the ratings, but one thing I can say is it's a digital online success."
Details on when the second season will be produced have not been announced. According to executive producer Izzie Pick Ashcroft, filming on "what is a passion project for us" is tentatively set to resume in January for airing next spring/summer.
The exact number of episodes has yet to be determined, although Ballet West artistic director Adam Sklute said he's been told it might be more than the six that made up the first season.
"What I'm excited about in our discussions for this season is that we are going to be focusing more on dancing," Sklute said.
Pick Ashcroft confirmed that.
"We want to bring in as much performance as we can," she said, "because we all felt that the performances are absolutely when we get to see these guys at their best."
Season 2 also will focus more on the diversity of the Ballet West troupe, "which I'm very proud of," Sklute said.
When it does return, fans presumably will not only get to see more dancing, but also see what happened between dancers Allison DeBona and Rex Tilton after they broke up … and then, apparently, called off the breakup.
DeBona, Tilton and the rest of the company "were really on board" for a second season, Sklute said. "This was a big group effort, and we all agreed."
Even DeBona, portrayed as the diva/villain of Season 1, signed on for Season 2 with the rest of the company.
"She was so funny," Sklute said. "She said to me, 'Adam, I've got to tell you. You owe me. Because I'm taking one for the team.' "

Moggalana wrote:No Sutta reference, but my understanding is that equanimity is supported by mindfulness while apathy is accompanied by dullness.
"Imagine a bowl of water covered over with slimy moss and water-plants. If a man with good eyesight were to look at the reflection of his own face in it, he would not know or see it as it really was...
"Just so, when the mind is sluggish it is the wrong time to cultivate the enlightenment-factors of tranquillity, concentration and equanimity, because a sluggish mind is hard to arouse through these factors.
"But, monks, when the mind is sluggish, that is the right time to cultivate the enlightenment-factor of investigation-of-states, the enlightenment-factor of energy, the enlightenment-factor of rapture.[2] What is the reason? A sluggish mind is easy to arouse by these factors.
Love [i.e. metta] imparts to equanimity its selflessness, its boundless nature and even its fervor. For fervor, too, transformed and controlled, is part of perfect equanimity, strengthening its power of keen penetration and wise restraint.
Compassion guards equanimity from falling into a cold indifference, and keeps it from indolent or selfish isolation. Until equanimity has reached perfection, compassion urges it to enter again and again the battle of the world, in order to be able to stand the test, by hardening and strengthening itself.
Sympathetic joy gives to equanimity the mild serenity that softens its stern appearance. It is the divine smile on the face of the Enlightened One, a smile that persists in spite of his deep knowledge of the world's suffering, a smile that gives solace and hope, fearlessness and confidence: "Wide open are the doors to deliverance," thus it speaks.
Equanimity rooted in insight is the guiding and restraining power for the other three sublime states. It points out to them the direction they have to take, and sees to it that this direction is followed. Equanimity guards love and compassion from being dissipated in vain quests and from going astray in the labyrinths of uncontrolled emotion. Equanimity, being a vigilant self-control for the sake of the final goal, does not allow sympathetic joy to rest content with humble results, forgetting the real aims we have to strive for.
Equanimity, which means "even-mindedness," gives to love an even, unchanging firmness and loyalty. It endows it with the great virtue of patience. Equanimity furnishes compassion with an even, unwavering courage and fearlessness, enabling it to face the awesome abyss of misery and despair which confront boundless compassion again and again. To the active side of compassion, equanimity is the calm and firm hand led by wisdom — indispensable to those who want to practice the difficult art of helping others. And here again equanimity means patience, the patient devotion to the work of compassion.
In these and other ways equanimity may be said to be the crown and culmination of the other three sublime states. The first three, if unconnected with equanimity and insight, may dwindle away due to the lack of a stabilizing factor. Isolated virtues, if unsupported by other qualities which give them either the needed firmness or pliancy, often deteriorate into their own characteristic defects. For instance, loving-kindness, without energy and insight, may easily decline to a mere sentimental goodness of weak and unreliable nature. Moreover, such isolated virtues may often carry us in a direction contrary to our original aims and contrary to the welfare of others, too. It is the firm and balanced character of a person that knits isolated virtues into an organic and harmonious whole, within which the single qualities exhibit their best manifestations and avoid the pitfalls of their respective weaknesses. And this is the very function of equanimity, the way it contributes to an ideal relationship between all four sublime states.
Equanimity is a perfect, unshakable balance of mind, rooted in insight. But in its perfection and unshakable nature equanimity is not dull, heartless and frigid. Its perfection is not due to an emotional "emptiness," but to a "fullness" of understanding, to its being complete in itself. Its unshakable nature is not the immovability of a dead, cold stone, but the manifestation of the highest strength.

Wizard in the Forest wrote:I have heard the difference is marked by compassion, but I doubt this is really the complete difference. Can anyone possibly describe the difference, if possible, with Suttas as a reference?
01. I heard thus. At one time The Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi. The Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus:
Bhikkhus, the bhikkhu endowed with these six things is worshipful, suitable for hospitality, gifts and to honour with clasped hands the incomparable field of merit for the world. What six?
Here, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu seeing a form is neither pleased or displeased abides mindful and aware with equanimity. Hearing a sound, ... re ... scenting a smell, ... re ... tasting a taste, ... re ... cognizing a touch with the body, ... re ... and cognizing an idea, is neither pleased nor displeased, abides mindful and aware with equanimity.
Bhikkhus, the bhikkhu endowed with these six things is worshipful, suitable for hospitality, gifts and to honour with clasped hands, the incomparable field of merit for the world. The Blessed One said thus and those bhikkhus delighted in the words of The Blessed One.
pt1 wrote:Apathy is in essence a state of consciousness that arises accompanied with unwholesome mental factors of ignorance and aversion (also called unwholesome roots). Since aversion arises, then the consciousness is also bound to be accompanied with unpleasant feeling (feeling is also a mental factor). So, one way to recognise apathy is by the unpleasant feeling that accompanies it. I think the same combination of mental factors (though of different strengths) applies in case of boredom, depression, etc.
Nibbida wrote:Equanimity accompanies appreciative joy and compassion, maintaining the stability, but also in light of not being a separate self.
So this naturally happens when equanimity accompanies compassion (karuna), appreciative joy (mudita), etc, as you mention.It has the characteristic of conveying citta and cetasikas evenly. Its function is to prevent deficiency and excess.
It [equanimity] succeeds when it makes resentment and approval subside, and it fails when it produces the equanimity of unknowing, which is that (worldly-minded indifference of ignorance) based on the home-life.

We got followed. When the mom, Tuesday and I were on our walk we got followed. I wasn't happy. What has gotten into these dogs here in Rialto. First attacked then followed. This little white thing with brown spots and very short legs followed us on our whole 2 mile walk. He followed us all the way home. The mom tried to catch him but she couldn't. He was just to fast. And worse of all, he sniffed me. The nerve of him. Doesn't he know who I am? I growled at him and snapped at him. But, he still followed. He and Tuesday played a little . I did not like it. When we got home and mom tried to catch him he ran off. Thank goodness. I don't know what mom would have done if she caught him. I hope she wasn't thinking about bringing him into my kingdom.
What is it with the big dumb dogs that think they have to shake me? I got shook by the big goof next door.Why did she want to kill me? Doesn't she know who I am.
This is what happened. The mom, Gus, Tuesday and I had just come back from taking Gus on his short walk and we were sniffing our front yard, when the big dummies next door came out with their mom to go on their walk. Well, they were off leash. Their mom thought that we were inside already so she let them out without their leashes on. So what do you think the big on socialized goofs did? They attacked us.
Now, Tuesday has meet them before. She is so good with other dogs that the mom had them meet her. The girl Missy did real well, but the boy Chico took some time. He tried to bite her at first then the mom had them walk together and then he did fine. They have even played together a couple of times in the front yard. Gus and I are not the best with other dogs so we haven't ever met them.
So, we are in our yard, they come out before their mom and Missy runs up to attack. Gus jumps out to fight her. He and Missy are tring to go after each others necks. He is so week that not much is happening. Their mom grabs Chico so he doesn't come over. Now ,I am looking pretty cocky because I am a King and I think no one would dare touch me. And she did it, she grabbed me by my neck and shook me. She shook me hard several times. I thought I would die.
Now, I should tell you that this also happened the week before and mom was worried that Gus would hurt his neck fighting them off so she grabbed him and yelled. Their boy had had them out and he came over and grabbed them. Afterwards she thought what could she have done differently.
the mom had a plan if it ever happened again, she would know what to do.
This is what she did. She let Tuesday go. She trusted Tuesday would know what to do. When she let Tuesday go, she ran over to Missy's mom and Chico and sat for a pet. Immediately Missy dropped me and ran back to her mom. Then Tuesday ran back to us. I was ok, not hurt but MAD and a bit frightened. Everthing calmed down the moms got a hold of all the dogs. Mom put Gus in the house, because we have to protect his neck, then we walked over to talk to their mom. My mom didn't want this encounter to end bad because she thought we would always have trouble from then on if it did. As we walked over Tuesday went up to their mom and dropped down and rolled over showing her tummy. My Mom thinks that she was saying, "It is all OK ,this is how you dogs should behave". The moms talked and their mom said she was sorry and would not let them out off leash again. She better not because if it happens again I have a plan. Ha Ha Ha.
I am in a bad mood. The mom took me to the groomer today and the dad picked me up. When mom saw me she made a funny face. That bad you think. You bet ya. They turned me into a chinese crested. Now don't get me wrong the look is great if your a chinese crested. But, I look ridicious. I was cranky when I got home the first the I did was growl at everyone. Just stay away from me. Mom thinks something must have happened, while I was there, to make me so cranky. Not to mention they forgot to give me the cute little charm and strawberry sent she paid extra for. All I have left to say is GRRRRRRRR.

text: Each year thousands of vibrant orange and black Monarch Butterflies flock to Pismo Beach, seeking shelter from the freezing northern winters. From late October to February, the butterflies cluster in the limbs of a grove of Eucalyptus trees. The butterflies form dense clusters with each one hanging with its wing down over the one below it to form a shingle effect. This provides shelter from the rain and warmth for the group. The weight of the cluster help keeps it from whipping in the wind and dislodging the butterflies. This colony is one of the largest in the nation, hosting an average of 25,000 butterflies over the last five years.

The Return of the Prodigal
by Kasey Michaels
No current Talk conversations about this book.
So tired of the "Edmond Beals" story arc, I could scream. To drag that out over seven books is way too much, I think. First few books of this series were wonderful. The last three were just tedious.
After the lovely Lisette brings him back to health, recently injured Rian Becket decides that he must bring her back when he returns to his rag-tag family at Romney Marsh - even after learning that she is the daughter of her father's arch enemy. Amusing minor characters. (The Beckets of Romney Marsh)
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0373772807, Mass Market Paperback)Being left in the care of the lovely Lisette, who tended to his every need, helped him forget the horrors of war. Though she played her part well, Rian's Becket intuition led him to believe there was more to the young woman than met the eye.
Could she possibly be part of a conspiracy to destroy Rian and his friends—or even the entire Becket clan? And if she was aligned with the enemy, how would he ever bring himself to stop her, when she was beginning to mean more to him than life itself—?

A registered sex offender was sentenced to eight years in prison today for distributing child pornography.
John Patrick McClaren, 46, of Hayden Lake, is to be on probation for 15 years after his release.
The Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began investigating McClaren in December 2009 after a Shoshone County sheriff's deputy learned his Internet Protocol address was involved in the distribution of child pornography online.
Investigators seized a laptop computer and two hard drives from his home in the 3100 block of East Cambridge Drive on Jan. 27, 2010, that contained at least 160 sexually explicit images of minors. One child was identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children as being a sex abuse victim from New Hampshire, officials said.
McClaren was convicted of possessing child pornography in Kootenai County in 2001, according to the Idaho Sex Offender Registry.
He pleaded guilty in February to distributing child pornography that is an adapted or modified depiction of an identifiable minor and was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge in Coeur d'Alene.
McClaren forfeited the computer and hard drives used in the crime.
"It is a priority of this office, and our law enforcement partners to target and prosecute anyone who collects or distributes child pornography," Wendy Olson, U.S. attorney for Idaho, said in a prepared statement. "We are firmly committed to protecting children. This commitment includes advocating for lengthy prison sentences that reflect these horrendous criminal acts."

Art guru Saatchi back with new gallery, China show
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - Influential British art collector Charles Saatchi is back after three years out of the limelight, opening a major new gallery in central London showcasing some of China's hottest artists.
The man who introduced the world to Britart stalwarts like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin has been largely absent from the art scene since his gallery was forced out of its previous home on the River Thames in 2005.
Now he is back with a huge new exhibition space in upmarket Chelsea, where he hopes free entry to the imposing former headquarters of the Duke of York will attract passers by.
Critics have lauded the imposing three-storey building with its glass and white-walled interior, and welcomed back one of contemporary art's biggest players. But the inaugural show, opening on Thursday, has earned mixed reviews.
"The Revolution Continues: New Art from China" is dedicated to Chinese artists including established stars like Yue Minjun, Zhang Xiaogang and Zeng Fanzhi, whose painting fetched $9.7 million in May, a record for Asian contemporary artwork.
Some critics have categorized the crazed, laughing men of Yue or the gray, stylized portraits of Zhang as repetitive, even "mass production" art.
Generally more popular were the sculptures, particularly an installation piece called "Old Persons Home" by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu, involving 13 aging men on wheelchairs moving randomly around a large basement room.
Their striking resemblance to late world leaders turns the work into a commentary on the pitfalls of power and conflict. The gallery calls it "a grizzly parody of the U.N. dead." Continued...

I have recently gotten my Galaxy S3 but cannot work out how to turn on auto correct/dictionary when using text or E-Mail?
Any help would be great
Thanks in advance guys
Hi Guys
I have recently gotten my Galaxy S3 but cannot work out how to turn on auto correct/dictionary when using text or E-Mail?
Any help would be great
Thanks in advance guys
Have an S2 but guess it's similar.
Go to Menu > Settings > Language and input > Keyboard and input methods and there is an icon to right of Samsung IME or your chosen input method.
Settings are in there.
BTW In the Play Store, SwiftKeyX is currently half price. I think it's much better than stock, especially if you are like me and have dyslexic fingers.
Hi Dude
Thanks very much for the advice. I followed your instructions, but there is nothing there regarding the dictionary or auto correct/spell check?
Do you have any other suggestions?
2 more things: 1) What is the difference between SwiftKey 3 free version and the paid for version? Do these keyboards come with spell check etc?
Thanks once again
Re: SwiftKeyX, the difference is probably advertising on the free.
SwiftKeyX learns from your typing style and offers the next word in anticipation. I find it very accurate and therefore your typing is often reduced to a one tap for a word.
If what you are looking for is not in Settings go into the app and press Menu and select settings to see if there.
BTW I'm surprised that the predict mode XT9 is not available, and if selected there is an XT9 advanced setting where spell check can be activated.
The swipe app on the S3 is a bit of a let down.. a better option is to download Swype apk and install it... easy and doesn't require root or any hocus pocus.. it's very familiar if you've had the S or S2 and works a treat on the 3..get it from here ..http://db.tt/bymnGD93

The project at Llanberis was first announced two years ago, when the Snowdonia Gateway company revealed proposals for a massive dome housing a revolving ski slope and hotel complex.
But the dome and revolving slope have now been scrapped, and the firm has said the development will be blended into the mountain scenery at a disused quarry site at Glyn Rhonwy.
The centre, which would still be home to the UK's longest real snow ski track and offer a range of indoor water sports and chalet accommodation, would bring 800 jobs to the region.
Developers hope the project could be open by 2007, although it has yet to be granted outline planning application, which is the first stage of planning consent.
Snowdonia Gateway managing director Gwyn Jones said the scheme would boost the region's economy and provide employment for local people.
"The design is the only thing that has changed - there will be real snow skiing, snowboarding, surfing even, on the biggest flow rider machine in Europe," he said.
"It will be the longest real snow ski track in the UK."
Mr Jones added that there was a lot of enthusiasm about the project.
"We are being approached on a daily basis by people that are willing to provide funding - we have a detailed feasibility plan that actually proves it is a viable concept."
Around £100m of funding will need to come from banks, while the rest of the money would be from public funds and private investors.
Architect NGP, the firm behind the Eden Project in Cornwall, has been appointed to design the centre.
There have been concerns among local people about the size of the project and the increased traffic it would bring.
Pat Jones, of the Llanberis Partnership, said the roads issue needed to be looked at carefully, but was excited by the project.
"Anything that brings that amount of jobs has to be taken very seriously and, if you are talking good quality full-time jobs, then that's excellent," she said.
"Something that is under cover all year round can only boost the tourist economy in this area."
The centre was launched by Dafydd Wigley, then AM for Caernarfon, in Llanberis in February 2002.
Mr Wigley said at the time it would be "of immense value to the tourism sector in north west Wales" and would need funding from the Welsh Assembly Government.

I have used UCCX for a number of years but I am a newbie on UCCE.
What is a Peripheral Gateway (PG)? I have read a number of CCO documents but i still couldn't grab the idea of what it does. Some documents called it Agent PG, some called VRU PG, some called CM PG & another one called IVR PG?
So what is PG?
Would greatly appreciated if anyone can shed some light on this.

Museum Hosts Butterfly Fest
It's a festival that will make your heart flutter.
Florida's Museum of Natural History is hosting Butterfly Fest this weekend as a celebration of wings and backyard things.
The two day festival is part educational outreach and part family fun.
It features a plant sale to encourage pollinators like butterflys and bees to help fertilize plants native to North Central Florida and face painting, arts and crafts and performances.
There's a certain whimsy associated with the butterfly and festival organizers say there's good reason for it.
In addition to the other activites, the festival will feature a presentation from a UF researcher who has been tracking the monarch butterfly's migration to Mexico.
The event is free and open to the public.
For more information visit Butterfly Fest.

Historically, throughout the world, Jewish people are usually found on the side of those fighting for social justice–we exclude for the moment those Jews who seize Palestinian land on the West Bank in Israel. In Sweden, Mayor Ilmar Reecepalu of Malmo, charges that Jews in his city are members of the anti-Semitic Sweden Democrats whose policies are violently anti-immigrant. He claims these Jews are on the side of those who are anti-Muslim.
This is simply a brand new version of conspiracy theories which invariably blame Jews for this or that program of destroying life for people in a society. All Swedish Jewish groups have denounced the accusation which leads the mayor to complain, "what can I do they don't listen to me." Why should Jews listen to this nonsense is the real question?

![Haight Ashbury][amex-summer-love-focus]
In the summer of 1967, thousands of young people from across the country flocked to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district to join in the hippie experience, only to discover that what they had come for was already disappearing.
By 1968 the celebration of free love, music and an alternative lifestyle had descended into a maelstrom of drug abuse, broken dreams and occasional violence. Through interviews with a broad range of individuals, including actor Peter Coyote and politician Willie Brown, who lived through the summer of love, as well as police officers walking the beat, teenage runaways who left home without looking back, non-hippie residents who resented the invasion of their community and scholars who still have difficulty interpreting the phenomenon.
This presentation offers a complex portrait of the notorious event that many consider the peak of the 1960s counter-culture movement. "The cliché of 'Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll,' often used to describe the Summer of Love, misses some of the more profound new horizons being explored," says filmmaker Vicente Franco. "Love, personal growth, mysticism, community and authenticity were at the core of the experimental society."

Médoc Wine Tours
Chateau Lagrange Barrique Cellar
Luxury Wine Tours of the mythical Médoc
The Médoc wine country encompasses the mythical wine appellations of Margaux, St Julien, Pauillac, St Estéphe and Haut-Médoc, all located on the left bank of Bordeaux. This is a star studded wine region packed tightly with thousands of famous Châteaux and neat vineyards. The Atlantic ocean is to the west and the Gironde estuary to the east which both help to create the unique terroir as they affect not only the micro climate but also the soils which characterize each appellation. The grapes used on the left bank to make the region's rich red wines include Cabernet Sauvignon (which dominates), Merlot, Cabernet Franc and occasional, very targeted Malbec and Petit Verdot. The best examples of Médoc wines are full bodied, concentrated and extremely elegant.
A wine tasting tour of the Médoc is de rigeur for French wine lovers and we have created various one day tours to offer our guests a special introduction to the region's fine food and wine. We work with an array of wonderful, hand selected wine estates offering not only incredible wines but also friendly and personalized tours, elegant hospitality and a superb wine tourism experience. Here is a sample itinerary for a day out in the Médoc.
Médoc Wine Tour Highlights:
Sample Médoc Wine Tour Itinerary
Elegant and gracious host Marc at Chateau du Tertre
This morning your private driver will collect you at your hotel or château in or around Bordeaux. Board the plush Mercedes, sit back and relax. Destination: Médoc. This flat region was once a salt marsh and it wasn't until Dutch engineers arrived in the 1600's and began to drain the marshes that the region was considered for viticulture. Little by little, aristocrats and tycoons of the day moved in and established large estates with enormous châteaux and vineyards. Thomas Jefferson was key in bringing the wines of the region to the world with his enthusiasm and insistence that the fine wines be bottled so he could take them home. Learn all about the history of the region today while tasting fabulous wines!
10AM Arrive to your first estate of the day such as Château Giscours. Built in the 19th century in honor of Empress Eugenie de Montijo, the winery owns 82 hectares in the prestigious Margaux appellation. The origins of the actual estate date back to the 14th century when it was a fortified dungeon. Wine has been made on the property since the 1550's and a century later it was being served on France's sun king Louis XIV's tables. Your dashing Dutch host has lived in Bordeaux for twenty years and is passionate about his adopted wine region. Tour the estate and learn all about the history of Giscours, taking in the beauty of the surroundings.
Then continue with your host on a private tour at the nearby Château du Tertre whose owner is the same, which happens to be one of our personal favorites. Tertre has a beautiful small château with perfectly manicured vineyards and delightful architecture. The cellar team is friendly and international and after a tour of the property, finish with a superlative vertical tasting of the wines of Giscours and Tertre. An excellent way to end your morning.
12:30PM At this stage you will be ready to settle into a terrific meal, and we have a very special treat planned- a chef's taster menu with paired wines at the Two Michelin starred Thierry Marx restaurant at the Cordeillan Bages. Considered to be a cross between the nutty professor and gastronomic Einstein, Marx is at the very least an exceptionally talented chef. Enjoy his food art!
2:30PM After a very memorable lunch, you have another interesting activity to look forward to: an "Assemblage" private tutorial at the cru classé Château Lagrange winery in the pretty wine country of St Julien. Learn how the winemakers here select the percentage of vinified single varietal wines for their blends, and have fun making your own blend. Finish with a tasting of your blend and of course bottled Lagrange. This is an entertaining way to finish your wine tour of the Médoc.
5:30PM Your driver will drop you off at your hotel or château in Bordeaux/ St Emilion, etc.
"A stellar food and wine tasting day excursion in the Médoc! "

Apple iPod touch 32 GB (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL
Digital Audio (FLAC/MP3/etc) Players (DAPs) item created by Luciddreamer, Dec 25, 2010
- Average User Rating:
- 4/5,
Recent User Reviews
"Apple iPod touch 32 GB 4G"
- 3.5/5,
Pros - Versatile, small
Cons - Battery life
Great device. It does so many things thanks to the app market. I wish it was thicker and that the battery filled up that extra space. A single device for movies, music, and books/comics.
"Touch 32Gb 4th Gen"
- 4.5/5,
Pros - Great interface, good battery life, wi-fi + blue-tooth, adjustable EQ through app add-on!, good SQ (with app eq)
Cons - No built in adjuatable EQ, tied to iTunes
Was given this through a reward scheme - and after using a Cowon iAudio7 as my main portable source - I was really interested to see how it performed. I'm using Shure SE420 IEM's.
After converting my FLAC collection to ALAC - I loaded it up via iTunes, and then ran it through it's paces. First impressions - really easy to use (intuitive), fun to play with, but definitely did not sound as good as my Cowon. It just wasn't as lively or warm. Disclaimer though - I do use a touch of EQ and also BBE on the Cowon. Had a look at the built in Touch EQ presets - but the options were terrible.
After playing with it for a couple of days - I'd almost decided to sell it and buy a J3 instead. I'm really glad I waited!
After reading a thread on head-fi, I found out about a wonderful add-on app called "Equalizer" (thank you Achmedisdead - owe you big-big). Installed it - adjusted a few settings - and what a difference! My music sounds fantastic (to me) - and I now have complete manual EQ control. It now sounds as good as the Cowon to me + I have a much nicer interface (than the iAudio7) + the bonus of access to apps, wi-fi etc.
I also used the bluetooth to pair the Touch to my car stereo. It sounds really, really good - and this with no EQ at all. So my next trial will be to get a LOD, and pair this with an E7. I have high hopes for even more improvement.
I've never really been an Apple fan - but can honestly say that with the Equalizer application, the Touch turns into a really great player. I would recommend it to others - but definitely get the Equalizer app - it makes all the difference.

My personal story is similar.
This is our (my wife and I) first BMW. It's great for what it is. (That being, a comfortable and practical yet still fun-to-drive work-commute/road-trip/passenger-hauling car.)
I find it superior to the 2011 328i I test drove. (Used, non-sport.) I also find it superior to the other cars we test drove. A4, S60, TL, IS...
Even the engine is superior, compared to the E90. An inline six, on its own, has no significance for me. (I did like the V6 engine in the IS350, but other aspects of the car were a disappointment.)
To answer some of
's questions:
Yep, we knew about the four-cylinder N20. In fact, that and the ZF 8spd are the primary reasons we test drove the F30 after the disappointment of the E90. Prior to the E90, I had never driven a BMW before. I liked the A4 engine and transmission when I drove it, but didn't care for the steering and overall "feel" of the Audi.
We had no concerns about the number of cylinders per dollar of vehicle cost.
We were quite aware of BMW's propensity for inline sixes. A number of friends and autocross acquaintances have or still own BMWs, and I recall the controversy when BMW introduced a V8 E46 M3 for racing when no street-going, available-for-public-sale M3 had such an engine. I've never heard an M3 I liked the exhaust sound of, FWIW. Very raspy.
RWD was a definite selling point for us. I test drove a VW GTI which was actually quite fun except for the FWD-ness. I don't think I can ever own a FWD car again.
We are probably not "average" BMW customers, however.

Each week our friends at KFFL.com break down all the key target information. Some things to keep in mind for Week 11:
Keep your eye on Brandon Gibson. The St. Louis Rams have been high on the former Philadelphia Eagles practice squad receiver, who arrived in the trade for linebacker Will Witherspoon. The Eagles were apparently reluctant to part with Gibson, who wasn't a factor in his first active contest. But the Rams went to him nine times in Week 10. With Keenan Burton (knee) on injured reserve, Gibson is expected to remain a significant factor the rest of the way.
Little-known Joey Haynos is becoming a bigger factor for the Miami Dolphins every week. In the past four weeks, the former Maryland Terrapin has received three, four, five and six looks, successively; he also has a pair of TD catches in that stretch.
Anthony Fasano has a total of 10 targets in that time and sat out Week 10 with a hip injury. Alas, maybe it's always the second tight end the Dolphins favor. Kory Sperry (who?) caught a scoring toss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, Haynos might be ticketed for an expanded role down the stretch.
Receiver Justin Gage (back) was the target of 13 passes in Vince Young's first two starts, but he sat out the Tennessee Titans' Week 10 contest and may be out for a while longer. In the absence of VY's favorite target, tight end Bo Scaife received six looks, three of which came in the red zone. Against the Buffalo Bills, wideout Nate Washington had three looks and caught a scoring pass. It's Scaife who appears to represent great value in fantasy pools though.

West Ham had a £15M bid for Andy Carroll accepted by Liverpool, but as we reported earlier today the former Newcastle striker is dragging his feet on committing to the east London side, as he hopes that Newcastle will come in for him.
Wilfried Bony – West Ham now interested in Newcastle target
24 year-old Carroll is currently on holiday in the United States with his girlfriend, but it seems West Ham may be turning to other strikers, just in case Andy turns them down when he returns from the states.
The Hammers failed in a bid last week for Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo, and news today that they have already held talks with Wilfried Bony's representatives. 🙁
And of course Newcastle have been linked heavily with the 24 year-old Vitesse striker and Ivory Coast International, who scored 37 goals in 37 games last season for the Dutch side, who finished 4th in the Eredivisie.
West Ham are also said to be tracking Stuttgart's 25 year-old Martin Harnik, an Austrian international who can also play out on the wing, and they are also considering a move for former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou, and the 27 year-old left Chelsea as a free agent last summer and signed for Lille.
So it seems that West Ham are lining up some replacements – but if Andy does turn down West Ham it will leave an interesting situation this summer, since Newcastle will not meet that £15M that Liverpool will demand for their striker.
We'd give Liverpool £10M at most probably – and that would add up to a £25M loss for Liverpool on the Geordie lad, in a short thirty months.

So, I've recently started popping up a random P2181 performance malfunction in cooling system.
It's so random and shows no signs of any other problems that I'm confused. Temp gets hot, stays exactly where it should be, 200. Never gets a tick hotter, or even close to above 200. Air works, heat works fine. No loss of power. It only seems to come on when I really put my foot down.
I've done some searching and seen the Coolant temp sensor for ~36$ from ECS so I plan to replace that and hope it fixes it, but, I've read that improper coolant mixture can also throw this code? And if it was a thermostat sticking, wouldn't it take a long time to heat or overheat?
I really don't want to get into replacing the thermostat and housing as I've seen that they're ~400$ job, and I really don't have that to blow. Thanks in advance.

Olyphant Says This Is Where I Leave You
Ben Schwartz & Abigail Spencer sign on
Shawn Levy is continuing to assemble a fine ensemble for his next comedy project This Is Where I Leave You. He already has Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Corey Stoll, Jane Fonda, Adam Driver and Kathryn Hahn, which is a great start. Levy's now adding Timothy Olyphant, Ben Schwartz and Abigail Spencer.
