Obviously the concepts are similar, but I don't know that it's a rip-off...
Billionaire playboy, inherited wealth, gadgets galore, haunted past
The main difference is Batman's identity is a secret, but they couldn't completely rip off the character. Secondary difference...Iron Man has no Joker, just a bunch of villains who ripped off his stuff.
Well so far, both of Iron Man's movies have been better than all but one of Batman's movies... so...
My theory...because the villains aren't over-the-top goofballs.
I don't think Iron Man was better than Batman Begins or The Dark Knight... Haven't seen IM2 yet though...
As far as "getting back to your comic book roots," yes, Tony Stark is a similar character to Bruce Wayne...
My theory...because the villains aren't over-the-top goofballs.
That and the fx are better AND Scarlett is in IM2, which trumps any chick in Batman.
I don't think Iron Man was better than Batman Begins or The Dark Knight... Haven't seen IM2 yet though...
As far as "getting back to your comic book roots," yes, Tony Stark is a similar character to Bruce Wayne...
I was referring to BB in my post above... TDK was good, but not great.
Good God, Batmans wanna be Girl Friend was the brokeback mountains sister!
She maybe is the uglyest freaking actress out there...I think her name is Molly Glyanhal?!?!?
Otherwise, I have never really thought about this comparison...it brings up a good point. However, u must take into consideration that Iron Man is Marvel Comics and Batman is DC comics. So its not like its one comic company trying to milk the audience on a "hot trendy superhero".
However, in a fight, as much as I hate to admit, Ironman wins.
The Iron Man movies were just riding the coattails of Batman Beings/DK. I can see where there are similarities as both tried to move out of the "comic book universe" and more into the real world. The Batman reboots are much better though. As far as characters go, yes they are similar but a lot of comic-book characters follow the established superhero archetypes.
Robert Downey Jr doesnt have anything on Christian Bale.

The first day of third grade puts Judy Moody in a mad-face mood. She just knows everyone will come back from summer vacation with word T-shirts, like "Disney World" or "Jamestown: Home of Pocahontas." All Judy has is a plain old no-words T-shirt. She''ll have to go to a new classroom, with a new desk, and she won''t have an armadillo sticker with her name on it like she did last year. And knowing her luck, she''ll end up sitting next to Frank, the boy who eats paste. For breakfast her dad makes eggs with the yellow middle broken, and her younger "bother," Stink, thinks he knows everything now that he''s starting second grade. But bad moods never last long with the irrepressible Judy Moody, and before long, her day--and year--look brighter. Mr. Todd assigns the class a "Me" collage, which sets Judy on a lively and hilarious self-exploration over the next few action-packed weeks.
Prolific author Megan McDonald (Beezy and Insects Are My Life) introduces readers to a thoroughly charming, independent, willful heroine, who is far more upbeat than she likes to let on to her reading audience. Remarkably understanding adults populate Judy''s world, allowing her to express her witty, resourceful self freely. Peter Reynolds''s personable line drawings complement McDonald''s text in a light, pleasing style. (Ages 6 to 10) --Emilie Coulter
The mercurial Judy Moody will delight any kid who''s known a bad mood or a bad day—and managed to laugh anyway.And, the winners of the Judy Moody All-About-Me Contest are announced! See the amazing winning and runner-up entries at http://www.fablevision.com/judymoody/winners_test.html — and find out how you can make your own All-About-Me collage."Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood. A mad-faced mood."To start, Judy Moody doesn''t have high hopes for third grade. Her new desk won''t have an armadillo sticker with her name on it. Her new classroom will not have a porcupine named Roger. And with her luck, she''ll get stuck sitting in the first row, where Mr. Todd will notice every time she tries to pass a note to her best friend, Rocky. An aspiring doctor, Judy does have a little brother who comes in handy for practicing medicine, a cool new pet, and a huge Band-Aid collection. Judy also has an abundance of individuality and attitude, and when Mr. Todd assigns a very special class project, she really gets a chance to express herself! Megan McDonald''s spirited text and Peter Reynolds''s wry illustrations combine in a feisty, funny first chapter book for every kid who has ever felt a little out of sorts.

Former UN chief, Kofi Annan, who helped to negotiate peace in Kenya after a disputed presidential election, announced he was visiting Zimbabwe to examine the current situation and the devastating impact of the humanitarian crisis which has engulfed the nation. President Mugabe's government which has refused to carry out its promise to share power with opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change(MDC) denounced the visit as a "partisan mission." Annan works with former US president Jimmy Carter and rights activist Grace Machel, former wife of Nelson Mandela, as a trio of "elders" whose goal is fostering peace and stability. "The purpose of our visit is to meet those working on the ground to better asses the extent of the crisis and how assistance can be improved."
In the narcissistic world of Robert Mugabe he is never wrong and anyone who expresses an interest in furthering peace in his country is obviously "partisan." The Elders have but one concern–the people of Zimbabwe. Mugabe has but one concern–maintaining power for himself and his fellow thugs and crooks who have exploited the wealth of Zimbabwe for their own personal gains.

I am getting a P0139 CEL code and need HELP! Please......
Does the 1Mohm resistor across the rear O2 sensor by itself help.
I was wondering if you have pics, sketch, drawing, etc. on how to do the CEL fix with the 1Mohm resistor on the O2 sensor or could describe it in more detail on how to do it. I'm a bit of a newbie and could use all the instruction I could get.
I got the CEL on my '04 WRX after installing a Scoobysport downpipe w/CEL fix and an STI uppipe w/CEL fix along with a neutron axle back exhaust, 3/16 mod and lastly a GP Moto elbow and K&N filter replacing the silencer box and stock elbow completely.
Thanks much for any help you could give me.

Dr Runa Mowla-Copley asks if patients are getting a good return on their investment in orthodontic treatment
Many of you will have heard the story of 11-year-old Madison Root from Oregon who made national news last year selling mistletoe from her grandfather's farm to help fund her braces. This young lady obviously values what braces will do for her and the need to invest in her own future. This young lady 'gets it'!
And then there is the American mother who dipped into her rainy-day savings when her husband became unemployed, to correct her son's overbite because she felt strongly about the fact that orthodontics for her child was a better long-term investment than her savings in the bank (which let's face it, right now wouldn't be earning much interest!).
The uptake of orthodontics in the UK has increased tremendously over the last 10 years. And the huge numbers of adults undergoing orthodontics for the first time is testament to the fact that our patients understand the benefits a healthy straight set of teeth can give them.
'Is it really worth the money?'
And yet we have all had the father of a teenage patient with an 8mm overjet and severe crowding ask us, 'Are you sure my child needs braces?' To which I am forever flabbergasted by! This is often combined with the fact that the father in question is weighing you up wearily with the, 'is it really worth the money?' look.
Financing the perfect smile is a big ticket purchase. And the truth is how do we measure our patients' return on investment?
The answer is we can't measure the exact value for each and every patient.
We can present the myriad of studies, data and trials confirming the benefits of orthodontics. Having straight teeth not only has health benefits but the psychosocial benefits over a lifetime are immeasurable. For patients who undergo orthodontics at a young age, they never get to endure the negative judgements made about people with crooked teeth. After all a nice smile goes a long way. According to the Kelton study conducted on behalf of Align Technology in 2012, an impressive 73% of Americans would be more likely to trust someone with a nice smile than someone with a good job, outfit or car.
Other studies tell us attractive people usually earn 3-4% more money, which can add up to hundreds and thousands of pounds over a lifetime.
A sound investment
What this all points to is a good return on investment – if an economist were advising our patients, he/she would place orthodontic treatment as a sound investment.
In 2013 there was a report about the government urging dentists to join a 'comparison website' to help raise standards and provide patients with value-for-money. Websites such as www.comparethetreatment.com give power to the consumers allowing them to search and compare some of the UK's top dentists and specialists to get the best available treatment. With a few simple clicks clients can compare a list of dental treatments provided by well-respected clinics. The site also offers an 'Ask the Expert' option so if the patient does have a question about a particular problem or treatment which could impact on their treatment decision they can ask the very best in the business. This gives it an edge over other sites that are just 'Find a Dentist' by offering prospective clients opportunity to really make informed choices about the right treatment and clinic for them.
Ultimately, when patients feel they are getting a good return on their investment, it is a win:win situation for both parties. We as clinicians feel we have provided the best standard of service and care, the happy patient recommends us further and so it continues.
Runa Mowla-Copley BDS DipOrth graduated from Sheffield University in 1995 and has worked at a number of prestigious practices in London, including the award-winning Elleven Orthodontics in Devonshire Place. Runa is a member of the British Orthodontic Society and the Faculty of General Dental Practioners (UK). Her particular area of expertise is interceptive orthodontics and she is also very experienced in dental marketing and PR.

Tile over laminite
Can I tile right over my laminate counter tops? I would love Granite counter tops but there is just wayyyy too much counter top space for it to be economically feasible. Not to mention the laminate is in great shape (maybe 7 years old), it is just ugly. So I was thinking granite tile:D ?
You'll have to take the bullnosing off the front of the top, but otherwise I don't see why you couldn't. The bullnosing should be just a plastic type strip in about 3/4" from the front, start at it with a chisel until you get a small area loose. Then (hopefully) it will pull out of it's slot. You may have to put 1/4" concrete board over what's left in order to start with a flat surface.
A second, and possibly better option would be: Remove the laminate CT altogether and build up a new one with 3/4" plywood (not OSB), 1/2" concrete board in a bed of thinset (not mastic...thinset comes dry in a bag and is mixed with water, and is not water soluble) and attached with screws made for concrete board, then tile on top. Finished height would be around 1 1/2" - 1 3/4", but would last a very long time if done correctly.
Granite tile can be very beautiful and functional especially if the joints are kept tight. The counter edge can be a challenge though.
Chances are there is some minor seperation in the lam that can cause problems.
Best to start with a new substrate.
If there is any future seperation of the lam and substrate, it will affect the tile.

I am an undead cat who writes stories. That's right. I am a feline. Meowbrainssssssss. Believe me yet?
Well, anyway, my hobbies include writing stories, going on epic quests with my dragon and my fire-dog companions, eating brains and various other organs and the occasional salad is nice too. You'll have to forgive the delays in my writing, it's terribly hard to type with paws (especially ones that keep falling off), and sunbathing can just take up the entire day.

Sabres at Penguins - Final - 03-03-10
Note: Empty Netter Assists are on the way. Hopefully around noon.
Greetings from a brisk, ugly day from Pittsburgh. It's in the mid 30s. Cloudy as all heck. If there's any consolation, at least the snow is melting. Some sights from today. Consol Energy Center prior to this morning's skate:
-Mellon Arena:
-The Sabres arriving for the morning skate:
-See this little brown blob?
-That's Ray Shero texting away your fantasy hockey dreams on his BlackBerry. Using new EN survelliance equipment, we took a closer look at what he was messaging:
-Brooks Orpik being popular:
-Sidney Crosby singing autographs and being a big un-American jerk:
-Walking up from dowtown this evening. The Oliver Building:
-See, if you win the gold medal in Canada, you get on the cover of Sports Ilustrated:
-If you carry around Roberto Luongo's bags, you get a pedestrian map in downtown Pittsburgh:
-Mellon Arena:
-One brave Derek Roy fan:
-A Paul Coffey fan:
-Tonight's giveaway are hockey cards:
-Cotton candy heeeee!!!! Cotton candy heeee!!!
-A Marc-Andre Fleury Team Canada t-shirt jersey:
-Plenty of these:
-Plenty of these:
-And only one of these:
(We need to clean our lense.)
-Tim Connolly:
-This is a sharp fan wearing a Tyler Myers jersey:
-A mid-2000s Ryan Miller fan:
-Ulf Samuelsson:
-Kevin Stevens:
-Here's one of the best finds of the season. Denis Herron:
-One of our all-time favorite players. Pat LaFontaine:
-Warm ups:
-The Penguins' scratches are Eric Godard, the less than great Martin Skoula and Jay McKee.
-The Sabres' scratches are Steve Montador, Matt Ellis and Nathan Paetsch.
-Brent Johnson and Patrick Lalime are your starting goaltenders.
-In case you're wondering, there are no visiting scouts here at all tonight. Kind of odd.
-During the ceremony to honor Olympians, some fans actually boo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff. Way to be classy.
-The ovation for Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller was stunning. It was honestly, playoff loud for Ryan Miller. The visiting goaltender. We understand it. We agree with it. We just didn't expect it.
-The spotlight was actually placed on the wrong tunnel when Miller was honored initially.
-Many fans actually booed Sidney Crosby when he was acknowledged. Wow. Way to be xenophobic Pittsburgh.
-A man who never hears booing, Jeff Jimerson:
18:41: Jordan Leopold take the ice for the first time as a Penguin alongside Alex Goligoski.
18:26: Dupuis takes a pass off the left wing, sneaks in and chips a puck into Lalime who hangs on for the save.
18:17: Lalime boots out a tough wrister by Malkin from the slot.
16:22: Kris Letang whips a loose puck from the right circle wide to the far side.
15:15: Johnson kicks out a heavy wrister by Paul Gaustad from the slot.
13:54: Letang chops a slapper from the right point wide on the near side.
12:30: The Penguins have Crosby on a line with Ruslan Fedotenko and Evgeni Malkin.
10:48: Patrick Kaleta runs over Craig Adams in the corner on the left wing in Buffalo's zone.
9:39: Crosby dishes a pass to Chris Kunitz on the left wing. Kunitz gains the blue line and releases a slapper which is a bit off the mark on the near side.
9:25: Lalime covers a puck. Both teams go to their benches in a seemingy peaceful manner then BLAM! All you see is Kunitz and Craig Rivet swinging away like mad men. Nothing really comes of it as an official steps in. Crosby and Rivet ends up with minor penalties. Crosby for slashing. Rivet for roughing. Four-on-four.
8:57: Malkin drives the puck up the right wing and dishes a backhanded pass to Letang in the slot. Letang cranks a one-timer which totally misses the net.
8:50: Makin picks the puck and whips a backhander on net from the right circle. Lalime eats it up.
7:25: The penaties to Crosby and Rivet expire.
6:39: Talbot is on his knees in the corner. Tim Kennedy just goes right ahead and checks him from behind into the boards face-first. What a stupid play. Kennedy gets two minutes for boarding. Talbot is a little slow to recover but eventually returns to the bench. Crosby, Malkin, Bill Guerin, Alex Goligoski and Sergei Gonchar get assists.
6:25: Crosby strikes a one-timer from the left point that clunks off some iron.
6:01: Malkin chops a bouncing puck to the right of the cage on net. Lalime keeps it out somehouw.
5:02: Goligoski controsl the puck on the right half wall, He dishes to Gonchar at the top of the slot. Gonchar windes up and zips a slapper which gets through traffic and beats Lalime by the glove hand. Crosby was in front and took a stab at the puck but it appeared to go in without a deflection. Lalime appeared to lose that in traffic as he was terribly out of place. The goal is the 200th of Gonchar's career. And we totally forgot to mention that after doing so for roughly a month in our game previews. Argh. Goligoski and Crosby get assists. The "Hey Song" is never forgettable. Penguins 1-0.
3:37: Letang chops a slapper on net from the right point. Lalime makes the save with his shoulder but has trouble with the rebound. Mike Rupp and Adams storm the crease but the puck is cleared out of danger.
1:25: Mark Eaton snaps off a wrister from the left point. Lalime makes the save but gives up another rebound. Talbot and other scrum for possession but can't get a handle on it.
1:07: Jason Pominville moves up the left wing and whips a wrister at the cage. Johnson eats it up with ease.
0:54: Tough time to take a penalty. Letang is nabbed for holding. It looked like he tripped up Drew Stafford. Either way, it's worth two minutes. Jordan Staa, Matt COoke, Brook Orpiks and Gonchar take the ice.
0:08: Off some nifty tic-tac-toe passing, Thomas Vanek booms a one-timer from the slot. Johnson fights it off. Tough save.
0:00: End of period. Penguins 1, Sabres 0.
-Nice first period for the Penguins. They were aggressive, the attacked the zone and pressured Lalime.
-So far so good for the Jordan Leopold era. He looks very comfortable with the puck in all three zone and he is a very good skater. He has a burst you don't see in every defenseman.
-He had 5:48 of ice time on seven shots, one takeaway and one blocked shot.
-In case you're wondering, his predecessors with No. 4:
|Noel Price
|Bob Blackburn
|Dave Burrows
|Dale Tallon
|Paul Baxter
|Marty McSorley
|Greg Fox
|Phil Bourque
|Dwight Schofield
|Chris Dahlquist
|Gord Dineen
|Greg Andrusak
|Greg Hawgood
|Kevin Hatcher
|Bobby Dollas
|Jeff Norton
|Mike Wilson
|Jamie Pushor
|Dan Focht
|Cory Cross
|Noah Welch
|Rob Scuderi
-Makin seems to have a little bit more jump tonight. Perhaps he's motivated by the rough outing in the Olympics.
-Letang has been pretty aggressive with his shot. But he's missed more than a few.
-Lalime looks shaky. He's giving up some bad rebound and he was in a bad position for the Gonchar goal.
-Speaking of Gonchar, his abiity to get a crisph, hard and accurate shot through traffic never ceases to amaze us.
-The Penguins have a 14-9 lead in shots.
-Malkin leads the game with three shots.
-Toni Lydman leads Buffalo with two.
-Gonchar leads the game with 8:59 of ice time.

20:00: The Sabres will start the period with 1:08 of power play time on fresh ice. Eaton, Oprik, Adams and Talbot wil star the period.
18:52: The Letang penatly is killed. The Sabres only generated on solid scoring chance during htat two minutes.
17:52: Malkin circles around the net and deals a backhanded pass to Orpik in the slot. Orpik chops shot on net. Lalime boots it out.
16:47: Oh wow was that pretty. Who says Malkin needs new scoring wingers. Dupuis plays the puck around the boards from the left wing. Fedotneko takes it in the opposite corner, turns and immediately dishes it back to the slot. Dupuis jumps on it and one-touches it by Lalime by his right foot. That was some slick passing there. That said, Lydman needs to to a better job of sticking with Dupuis. Fedotenko and Makin get assists. The "Hey Song" is always slick. Penguins 2-0.
13:16: And Lydman makes amends. Kaleta gains the blue line on the left wing. He leaves a drop pass for Lydman who steps up and blasts a one-timer through traffic and by Johnson's glove hand. Johnson had no idea where that puck was. He was screened by Eaton and two Sabres. Kaleta and Rivet get assists. Penguins 2-1.
12:23: Off a faceoff wing, Goligoski strikes a one-timer from the left point. Lalime reaches up and gloves it in front of his face.
12:05: Malkin gets dropped with a nice shoulder check from Lydman down low to the left of the cage. Makin is a little slow to recover. Play continues.
10:24: Mike Rupp picks up a puck in the neutral zone, gains the blue line and goes towards the net with speed. He tries an outside move but Sekera is able to flop down and knock it away with a nice poke check.
9:11: Crosby spins and chops a shot through traffic on net from the left point. Lalime hops up and makes the the save.
8:34: Attendance is announced as 17,132, a complete standing room only sell-out. It is the team's 150th consecutive sellout.

6:57: Makin takes a jab at a Sabre along the boards and knocks him over.
3:37: Rupp just cobbed Tim Kennedy behind the Sabres net with a cross check. No call.

2:06: Pominville has a slapper from the top of the slot blocked out of play by Adams.
2:03: Off a faceoff win, Leopold chips the puck down ice for a clear.
1:02: Talbot drives the puck up into the Sabres zone and circles around the board to eat clock. That ends when Adams mashes him into the boards.
0:43: Orpik's penalty is killed. The Sabres generated very few chances there.
0:00: End of period. Penguins 2, Sabres 1.
-First off, nothing is finalized on any potential deals the Penguins are working on. Hold off on buying any new jerseys.
-With that out of the way, things kind of slowed down that period. Neither team really challenged each other all that much. It was more of a tight-checking period. That said, two goals were scored.
-Makin is playing with some purpose tonight. He looks pretty motivated.
-Lalime has setted down a bit.
-We're digging the new fourth line of Rupp, Adams and Talbot. They've worked really well down low.
-Leopold continues to look as advertised. He's a smooth skater with some burst and he just knows what to do with the puck.
-Leopold has 12:28 of ice time on 14 shifts, one takeaway and one blocked shot.
-The Penguins have a 21-15 lead in shots.
-Pominville leads the game with four shots.

-Malkin is 4 for 6 (67 perecent).
-Sekera leads the game with four bocked shots.
-Gonchar and Letang each lead the game with four blocked shots.
19:15: Chris Butler chops a slapper from the left wing. Johnson punches it away with his blocker.
18:48: Kunitz steals a puck off Rivet at the Sabres blue line, gets hooked by Vanek but still gets a shot off. Lalime makes the save. Vanek is sent off for hooking. Malkin, Crosby, Guerin, Gonchar and Goligoski take the ice.
16:48: And the penatly is killed with little threat by the Penguins. Argh.
16:42: Some Iggy Pop:
16:06: Patrick Kaleta knocks down Fedotenko in the corner with an elbow to the back. No call. Fedotenko gets up and hits Kaleta with a high stick. Call. Fedotenko gets two minutes. That's what Kaleta does. He's their Matt Cooke. Talbot, Staal, Orpik and Eaton take the ice.
14:50: Cooke forces Myers into a turnover off a fantastic forecheck and gets a nice chance in the slot. Lalime denies him. Myers owes Lalime a beer.
14:06: The Fedotenko penalty is killed.
13:52: Johnson covers up a puck in a seemingly harmless situation. Play is blown dead. Then BLAM! Rupp and Paul Gaustad decided to fight. This was about as one-sided of a fight we've seen this season with the Penguins. Rupp just pounds Gaustad in the top of the head a bunche before Mair falls down.
13:33: Talbot slams Kaleta behind the Sabres net with a solid check.
12:47: Myers chips a puck into the slot for Tim Connolly. Connolly has a clean shot on net but he's hooked up by Gonchar. The puck goes into the corner. Connolly goes afte rit byt Gonchar shoves him into the boards feet first. That was scary. Connolly is a little slow to recover but he appears to be fine thankfully. Gonchar is sent off for interference. Probably shoud be hooking but that doesn't matter. It's a minor either way. Staal, Orpik, Cooke and Letang take the ice.
11:02: Staal chips a puck by Myers along the boards and down ice to kill time. What a nice play.
10:34: Gonchar comes out of the box and creates a two-on-one with Dupuis against Rivet. From the right wing he dishes to Dupuis across the slot but the pass is a litte too fast and Dupuis fails to get a stick on the puck.
10:25: Malkin snaps off wrister from the right circle which is wide on the near side.
10:19: Kunitz and Kaleta have a train wreck right in front of the Penguins' bench. No one won in that collision.
9:46: Lalime fights off a wrister by Crosby in the slot. Tough save.
9:22: Leopold and Drew Stafford go crashing into the boards in the corner. Stafford is slow to recover.
8:57: Off an offensive zone faceoff win, the Penguins strike. xxx wins the faceoff, The Penguins move it around with some slick passing. It ends up going to Fedotenko in the left circe who strikes a one-timer which burns Lalime. Perhaps Fedotenko is worried about tomorrow's deadine. He's having his best game in at least a month. Tyer Kennedy gets the only assist. Someone should get a secondary helper on that. The "Hey Song" is played. Penguins 3-1.
6:13: Myers strikes a wild slapper from the left point which hits Goligoski in front. Goligoski is stunned a bit.
5:37: The Sabres go to the net and make it a one-goal game once again. Roy chips a puck into the slot . Kaleta is battling in front and chips with a backhander between his legs into the slot. It comes loose. Roy jumps on it and from the slot he chips it into the net. It hits the back of the net and immediatey bounces out. A small scrum ensues. Johnson covers the puck. Offiicals immediately review the play. They rule a goal had been scored. Kaleta and Buter get assists. Penguins 3-2.
4:34: Kunitz whips a wrister on net from the left circle. Lalime boots it out.
2:34: Letang chips a little wrister from the right circle. Lalime steers it into the opposite corner.
1:34: Henrik Tallinder loses his footing and loses the puck in his own zone. Crosby picks it up, zips up the right wing and plays a puck into the slot. Lalime pokes it away. Tallinder owes Crosby a beer.
1:18: Lalime is pulled for an extra attacker.
1:09: Roy blasts a one-timer form the slot. Johnson makes the save. The puck hops up on to the top of the net. Clark MacArthur jabs it off the top of the net. MacArthur tries to jame it by Johnson's left foot but is denied. Orpik then blows out MacArthur away from the net with a big hit. What a sequence!
0:22:The Sabres accidently play the puck out the zone themselves and give the Penguins a break.
0:16: The Sabres ice the puck. Lindy Ruff calls a time out. Lalime returns to the net.
0:00: End of game. The "Woo-Hoo!" song is played. Penguins 3, Sabres 2.

have the gun up trying to calm him down, as soon as he looks in another direction or takes his mind off the situation for a second, drop the hammer and put one in the medulla.
in all reality my previous decision probably wouldnt come into play due to high emotional stress of the situation, and the fact that ive never been in a hostage situation. i would say in all reality i would try my best to talk him down and give him what he wants to calm him down, then when/if he drops his guard put one between his eyes

So I have a project with 100's of images moving around.
Now I need to make some adjustments to the position of some of those layers without changing theyr keyframes.
I know of 2 ways to do it:
1 - precompose each one and then move the composition.
2 - each time I wanna move a layer I need to bring my timeline to 1 of the keyframes, select all the keyframes and then I can move.
Both solutions are VERY time consuming as I have 100's of layers i want to move freely.
IS the a simple and intuitive way Im unaware of ?

iTunes link: /> FlightTrack Pro
Price: £5.99
With the recent bad weather causing travel chaos and leading to the closure of many airports around the country many of us found we had to pay closer attention to flight schedules than we would have liked. Although a bit pricey, Flight Tracker Pro is probably the best option on the iPhone for keeping up to date with your flight status thanks to it's clean, easy to use interface.
We also love the way it integrates with Tripit, taking flight information you've forwarded to Tripit directly and so saving you the hassle of re-entering flight details.
Handily, it can also alert you to status updates on your flight via push notifications so you don't have to have the app running to keep on top of itinerary changes.
Verdict: An easy to use interface, great integration with Tripit and support for push notifications make FlightTrack Pro worthy of its slightly high asking price.

Oils change question
Anyone using Castrol synthetic oil for oil canges? Which one would be best? Edge, GTX or Syntex? I tried their website and I am confused in difference.
Also would you suggest using synthetic oil right after first oil change or use regular until 10K miles (someone suggested).
Re: Oils change question
You'll get all kinds of responses to this. Every one of them being somewhat different. The best place to do this kind of research is bobistheoilguy.com and then decide for yourself what products you want to use.
Re: Oils change question
Yep, bobstheoilguy.com is about the best place to get this question asked and answered. Personally, I would use Edge, it's their only full synthetic. Just make sure you use the EXACT viscosity for you motor, the V8 REQUIRES 5W-20 to operate properly.
I use synthetic from the first change on everything I own. You won't do any harm with synthetic but you don't need synthetic at any point as long as you stick to good oils and change them as scheduled.
Re: Oils change question
Some will tell you to ensure the oil is API certified and meets or exceeds Chrysler's MS-6395 spec to ensure you are meeting the requirements of your warranty. That is up to you, but honestly almost everything out there will meet or exceed these requirements.
Re: Oils change question
It just seems foolish to me.
OH, and before you start quoting Magnusson-Moss (?sp) if you use something outside the stated specification they don't have to prove it was the actual cause of the failure. They state 5W-20, you used 0W-20, end of discussion........
Now, is using 0W-20 that isn't certified to the Chrysler standard going to cause a failure, NO but why tempt fate?
Re: Oils change question
While I agree that there isn't much benefit to a 0w over a 5w unless you're in the arctic cold there are some reasons to run a 0w oil instead of a 5w.
Many american synthetics use lower cost Group III base stock in their "synthetic" formulations. You will find this in many 5w-20, 5w-30, etc products. Many 0w formulations use higher quality (and higher cost) base stocks in order to achieve the low viscosity pour points. Usually (meaning not always) better base stock = better protecting and performing oil (there is more to an oil than just it's base). This is just one example of why maybe you would want a 0w over a 5w (you did ask for a reason :) ).
I highly doubt Chrysler is going to run an oil analysis and determine that the 0w oil you put in your engine was the cause of a failure (if they suspected oil as the cause at all). I'd be surprised if they could conclude from an oil analysis that you started with a 0w instead of 5w.
At this point I will again suggest bobistheoilguy.com for research and discussion about oil. There you can find a specific oil that meets not only Chrysler's minimum requirements to make your engine last through their warranty period, but the requirements that you may have for your engine as well.
Not all oil is created equal although most oil will be good enough to protect your engine for a very long life.
Re: Oils change question
Point taken and I agree. I also agree that a more in depth discussion should probably happen on Bob's site since that's why it exists.
Re: Oils change question
I'm at 800 miles and as soon as it gets a tad warmer I'm changing to Mobil 1 extended life. $8.50 a quart x 7 + the $12.99 mobil 1 filter is pricey, but I wont be changing again for 1 year.
Re: Oils change question
Re: Oils change question
Thanks, I may use that.
Dumb question, it says 5 quarts and a Mobil 1 filter. Does Mobil 1 really make a Wk2 Pentastar filter or will I need to go grab a Mopar one?
Re: Oils change question
According to Mobil's website they do not make a filter for the Pentastar just yet.
For anyone else the Hemi part number is M1-210.
I would just grab a filter for another car or a friends/family member's car. The price of the oil is still cheaper than regular price.
Re: Oils change question
Got it, thanks. :thumbsup:

By It's the MONEY!, January 16, 2012 at 8:27 am Link to this comment
It's the money too - All those government contracts to build drones and other surveillance technology to keep an eye on us. They weren't making enough money with the foreign wars winding down, so they turned their sights on Americans, prompted by the Occupy movement. Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall in one of those secret committee meetings on homeland security! They couldn't turn on us without this bill making the entire country a battlefield.
This is Obama's stealth Jobs Program. Congressmen are jockeying to be the ones to bring the most lucrative drone contracts to their districts and I'm sure a lot more related technology. Just ask Max Baucus. They would all sell their mothers to advance corporate interests by bringing home the pork to their home states, and they would definitely sell our liberty without batting an eyelash. Capitalist has replaced American as the title for both parties.
Al Qaeda is the magic word to get anything passed, however improbable they are as a real threat after a trillion dollars and 10 years of battles. The real war, as Chris says, is against the anti-corporatists. No expense will be spared to fight the enemies of the corporate state. That is why they will throw the Bill of Rights under the bus.
Are we going to wait for the media or government to announce that there is a war being waged against the Occupy movement to realize it is going on? It's under the radar, but you can bet the radar is on and actively scanning, even this website.
ANYONE who threatens The Empire is a dangerous person. Just ask Ron Paul!

How can we contribute to help with your legal costs?
By Carl Osgood, January 16, 2012 at 6:29 am Link to this comment
I see two problems with your complaint, though they may be considered technical:
One, you call it in your complaint the "Homeland Battlefield Bill." That may be an accurate description of what it does, but it's not the official name of the bill, which is the "National Defense Authorization Act."
Secondly, the section numbers you give are no longer correct. The relevant sections were numbered 1031 and 1032 in the Senate version of the NDAA. However, the version that Obama signed, was the conference report on HR1540, which was originally the House bill, The section numbers changed to 1021 and 1022, as a result.

There has to be an enemy. Just as "Islamofascism" replaced communism in the nick of time, so we the people ourselves have become the enemy now that
I'm not surprised that the director of the FBI doesn't like the new law. The FBI had been doing a great job in creating terrorist cells and busting them. Now the military will have all the fun.

It is THE ONLY response to such governmental over-reach! Kudos and huge gratitude to Chris Hedges and his lawyers for taking ACTION!
Everyone who speaks out based on his/her conscience is ultimately made vulnerable and the Constitution and Bill of Rights are once more trashed by the NDAA and specifically by the Authorization for Use of Military Force. THIS SUIT OUGHT TO BE TURNED INTO A HUGE CLASS ACTION SUIT SIGNED BY EVERY RED-BLOODED AMERICAN!
Once more most earnest CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. Hedges, on this correct and courageos action on behalf of us all.

Original, long due but impossible to more and most, daring, just, the link between denouncing and taking action, top down as complementation to bottom up.
Chris Hedges, one step ahead, Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky united. The weight of a corporation in brand recognition, the directness and immediate responsability of the fysical entity.
The first notable news of the year. This is something to follow up on, get inspired by, ...long term.

It looks like the U.S. is going to have a period of overt totalitarian rule, with liquidation of internal dissenters, perhaps martial law if unrest gets bad enough - the whole works. Unrest can only increase as more people drop into the permanent underclass, and the population at large is passive or else supportive of totalitarianism because they fear change.
How long this episode will last is anyone's guess. It could fall apart quickly under the stress or unrest or war, or it could go on for years or decades as the U.S. declines but the regime clings to power.
Anyway, the future is very dark.

Hat Tip To Roy Halladay For Throwing A No-Hitter In The PlayoffsOctober 6, 2010
Even this Mets fan has to tip his hat to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay for throwing a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in his first ever playoff appearance. Just how good was Halladay? Check out these stats: 9 IP | 0 H | 0 ER | 8 SO. Halladay also threw 79 strikes out of 104 pitches. Considering he was facing the best hitting team in the National League, this performance was unreal. Click the image below to watch video of the no-hitter.

Civil War Era Antiques & Collectibles
Can you think of any other period of our brief history where so many fascinating individuals occupied center stage of an armed conflict at the same time? These were giants amongst giants and we recognize their names still; Lee, Grant, Jackson, Custer, Stuart, Sheridan, Ashby, McClellan, Merritt, Mosby, Hampton, and Forrest. The list is endless and surely I cannot name them all.
The Civil War still haunts us. There's Mosby slipping through Federal picket lines, then capturing Brigadier General Edwin H. Stoughton, while asleep in bed, at his own headquarters at Fairfax Courthouse, Va., the evening of March 8-9, 1863! I would be willing to wager that Mosby and the boys hooted and howled over that one for a very long time. Custer and Stuart at Gettysburg, Forrest with his many charges sending the Federals into wild retreat. Who charges in TWO directions at the same time when you are outnumbered? Then, and finally, the sad ending at Appomattox Courthouse with Lee and Grant chatting like old friends. It's all the stuff of legends.
I am pleased to be able to say that one of my ancestors who fought for the South was Colonel Charles Reed Collins of the 15th Virginia Cavalry which was part of JEB Stuart's Cavalry Corps, Fitzhugh Lee's Division and Lomax's Brigade. Colonel Collins was a West Point graduate in 1859. He resigned from the US Army 6-10-61. Became a First Lt. CS Artillery 7-23-61 and was promoted to Captain CS Engineers 10-7-61. Promoted and assigned to the 15th Virginia as a Major 4-23-63 and received yet another promotion to Colonel on 2-14-1864 for "valor and skill." KIA at Todd's Tavern 5-7-64 at age 27, 7 months shy of his 28th birthday. The main Federal attacks at Todd's Tavern were conducted by Sheridan's Reserve Brigade and Custer's Brigade.
Have you ever wondered what leads or draws you to a certain place or interest? Although I like horses, my affinity for mounted troops of that period does not come from owning a horse, because I do not. Charles Reed Collins is my link. JEB Stuart and George Armstrong Custer occupy prominent places on this site. Col. Collins was part of Stuart's Cavalry Corps and Custer and Collins were at West Point together albeit two years apart. Custer and Collins most certainly knew each other well, given the small size of West Point Classes at that time. How ironic that Custer's Brigade was part of the action where Collins was killed.
There is one other bit of irony concerning myself and Charles Reed Collins. We were both born in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. I do not believe my connection to this period accidental.
The artifacts found on this site are our connection to the past and the soldiers who used them. Welcome to CIVIL WAR HORSE. Enjoy the ride.

Health Story: I've Been Given My Life Back
What is an EMG (electromyogram)?
An electromyogram, also called EMG and electromyography, is a test that evaluates electrical activity within your nerves and muscles. Your doctor may recommend an EMG to help diagnose muscle weakness, muscular dystrophy, and other neuromuscular abnormalities. An EMG involves inserting tiny needles into your muscles to record electrical activity.
An EMG is only one method used to diagnose neuromuscular abnormalities. You may have less invasive testing options depending on your condition. Discuss all your diagnostic options with your doctor to understand which options are best for you.
Other procedures that may be performed
Your doctor may perform other procedures in addition to and EMG to diagnose neuromuscular abnormalities including:
Evoked potentials to analyze the electrical functioning of the nervous system. This test checks the nerve pathways through the spinal cord or from the eyes and ears. Evoked potentials can help diagnose dizziness, numbness, tingling, and visual disorders.
Nerve conduction velocity to study how well electrical signals travel through a nerve

Annual Conference - Day Two
July 30, 2009
The Secretary's entourage and his security detail came by at 7 a.m. today. Herds of the 1200+ attendees of the conference mingled around the doors of the ballroom for a half hour to get a peek of the Secretary. The day began in a VERY exciting way!
And just after 8 a.m. – Secretary Shaun Donovan himself.
His remarks were inspiring and thoughtful: an emphasis on creating more affordable housing, the relationship between health care reform and the homeless, a persistent theme of the moral responsibility of our country to care for the least among us. The necessity of cooperation between the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's Department of Health and Human Services in providing services + housing for the homeless. It was everything that the audience needed to hear: a federal promise to keep investing in preventing and ending homelessness.
It's no wonder he got a standing ovation.
We'll be posting the Secretary's remarks shortly, keep an eye out on our blog and website. But for the time being, a few pics.
Next up – in under an hour! – new White House Director of Urban Affairs Policy: Adolfo Carrion.

What is in this article?:
- Manage Your Supply Chain Analytics like a Baseball Team
- Swinging for the Fences
- A Combination of Art and Science
Like the Oakland Athletics in Moneyball, supply chain managers have the opportunity to measure data and apply analytics from customer sentiment about their products and services.
"People in both financial markets and baseball operate with beliefs and biases. To the extent you can eliminate both and replace them with data, you gain a clear advantage." — Michael Lewis, Moneyball
Knowing that a supply chain disruption can cause revenue leakage and market share loss, supply chain managers have tweaked every angle and measured every corner to speed delivery and improve production. As supply chains become more complex and pressures increase, supply chain managers need to ensure that they have the right information to compete. The customer perspective has come to the forefront as an important element that has been missing.
In the past managers sought to understand customers using focus groups and marketing studies, but social analytics has emerged as a new and powerful tool. Social analytics has begun to revolutionize the actionable information available to the decision makers charged with supply chain management. Major League Baseball (MLB) can provide insights for supply chain managers to learn about the impact of social analytics.
Every summer since 1933 MLB has held an All-Star Game where the National League and American League put their finest players on display for the ultimate exhibition game. The All-Star game has become a highly popular baseball event, second only to the World Series. What makes this game unique is that fans vote on who will play the starting positions for each league. The players and managers also get to vote on positions such as pitchers and backup players. Then there is one additional player who is voted in by fans after the list of 33 players for each league is announced. This is a true collaboration to select the best and most popular players and to create a great baseball exhibition for the fans to watch and enjoy – in some respects, it was an early form of social media.
Baseball fans love being part of the All-Star Game experience because their opinion matters on the players who take the field. Likewise, consumers want their opinions about products and services to be heard and to feel like they make an impact. While the desire to be heard is universal and long-standing, only recently has technology evolved to provide consumers with robust tools to do so. With the social media revolution now deeply rooted into our everyday lives and a staple of our culture, it is has become much easier to express opinions through e-mail, social networking sites, blogs, text, chat, and yes, even using a telephone to talk to someone.
In the last decade social analytics has risen to the forefront in the business of baseball, from planning a team and creating a roster to evaluating performance on the field and getting the most from the club payroll. In similar fashion the impact of analytics is being harnessed to improve supply chain management performance. Social feedback loops provide a huge advantage through understanding customers and how they perceive a company's products or services. This combination of social, analytics, cloud computing and mobility has enabled unprecedented consumer influence, starting in consumer-centric industries like retail, but now permeating even business-to-business companies and sectors like heavy manufacturing.
For many years marketing and advertising groups have conducted polls to gauge consumer opinions, and over the last few years they have learned to incorporate social analytics as well. Marketers have taken real-time data and learned to measure advertising campaign effectiveness, understand customer information needs, and determine brand perception. This includes not only historical customer purchase data, but also purchase suggestions and predictions.

Crosby frustrated by lack of progress in labor negotiations
A visibly frustrated Sidney Crosby spoke negatively Monday of what he considers unproductive labor negotiations in New York.
Crosby has made no secret he badly wants to return to the ice — he has missed 101 games over the past two seasons because of concussions — and said the breakdown in talks last weekend give him an ominous vibe regarding the potential of an NHL season.
"I really want to be optimistic," Crosby said following Monday's workout at Southpointe. "It's not easy right now. It's a roller coaster. One day you think there are great talks, then the next day they meet for five minutes and it's done."
Crosby has maintained for months he will consider playing in Europe if the lockout continues for a long period. It is almost two months old, and his departure for Europe could be near.
"I think it's fair to say the longer it goes, the more you ponder it," Crosby said.
The NHL hasn't made enough concessions to make negotiations with the NHLPA worthwhile, Crosby said.
No meeting is scheduled between the sides, although the NHLPA requested the next set of negotiations take place in Toronto instead of New York.
"It's pretty one-sided," Crosby said of negotiations. "What have they given up to this point?
"I think we all think it's the most competitive league in the world, so why would you go and change that? The way contracts go and the way teams operate … if it's not broke, don't fix it."
Crosby shook his head when addressing the league's assertion that union executive director Don Fehr has not given players full details of league proposals.
"That's just tactics on their part," Crosby said. "We're pretty informed. If (Fehr) didn't want to (give us all the information), there's 15 or 20 other guys who would have told us if that's what he wanted to do."
Crosby clearly is annoyed by the bickering that has gone public. Such talk should be kept to the negotiating table, he said.
"If the league has anything to say," Crosby said, "they should say it in a meeting, not (to) a reporter or a journalist. Say it in a meeting. All the other stuff doesn't help anything. It's not good for anyone."

Festung Hohensalzburg, the landmark of Salzburg, is Central Europe's largest intact fortress and offers fantastic views of the city. Visit the Princely Residence, a magnificent early baroque edifice with splendid halls and a gallery featuring European paintings dating between the 16th and 19th century. The nearby vast Salzburg Dom is without doubt the main attraction of the old town. Inside there is the Romanesque font where Mozart was baptized.
Take time out to visit Mozart's Geburtshaus, the place where the genial composer was born on January 27, 1756. The house is located in Getreidegasse, Salzburg's most attractive and most visited shopping street with its high and narrow houses and romantic courtyards. Another highlight is Schloss Mirabell with its splendid gardens built by the baroque master builder Lukas von Hildebrandt.
At the foot of Mönchsberg you will find the so-called Festival District with the two famous festival halls (architect: Clemens Holzmeister; 1956-1960) and the Felsenreitschule, a baroque masterpiece designed by Fischer von Erlach in 1693. South of the center of Salzburg's old town is the popular Schloss Hellbrunn with the world-famous trick fountains and water-powered figures.
Some 4,000 cultural events combine to make Salzburg one of the most important cultural metropolises. The acclaimed Salzburger Festspiele, founded in 1920, is the high point in Salzburg's culture calendar and includes concerts, opera and theatre performances.
St. Peter's Abbey is Europe's oldest restaurant located in the heart of Salzburg and a great starting point to walk up Fortress Hohensalzburg.
Salzburg's newest addition is the Museum of Modern Art, which is located on top the Mönchsberg. With great contemporary exhibitions and a restaurant with amazing views of the old city of Salzburg this is a site not to be missed.

Liverpool co-owner Tom Werner has hinted that his fellow American Clint Dempsey is on the Anfield club's radar.
But the Reds could face competition for the free-scoring Fulham striker from Arsenal if they decide to take the plunge in the summer.
Asked about his countryman, who has scored a remarkable 22 goals this season, Liverpool chairman Werner admitted: "We never talk publicly about our transfer targets, however, any team would be lucky to have Clint Dempsey playing on their squad."
Werner indicated boss Kenny Dalglish will be given further funds to significantly strengthen his squad this summer, and several other names are on the Anfield radar.
They could also do battle with Arsenal for rising Morocco star Younes Belhanda, with Dalglish travelling to France recently to watch him play for Montpellier.
AZ Alkmaar's young Swedish midfielder Rasmus Elm is another on the list, but Newcastle are on his trail too.
Liverpool had been linked with former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben, who signed a contract extension at Bayern Munich on Thursday.

Hi All,
I'm a new member here, although I have been reading posts for a couple of weeks to "get the lay of the land". Very interesting and informative info to be found here.
I've been shooting various guns for fun and competition since the mid 1950s. Got my first .22 rifle at 14, shot in NRA Junior Rifle program, shot on rifle team in the Army for a while, shot IHMSA big and small bore for a number of years until the eyes began to age.
My wife and I are new to defensive shooting. Took the Ohio CHL course in March and learned of this site from our instructor. Got our CHLs a couple of weeks ago. Wife hasn't carried yet, but I have a few times. Went out to dinner the other night and she didn't know I was carrying till we got back home and I told her, so I guess the :sheep: didn't notice either :smile:. Looking forward to learning a lot here (actually, already have) and will contribute what I can.

Trusting the Trusses
Living and working in Cedar Key, Richard Anderson drives over bridges everyday. Thursday, he made 16 trips over the four bridges connecting the island community. He said the only bridge that has ever given him any anxiety in all of Florida crosses the Escambia Bay in the Northwest.
"That one there made me a little nervous," he recalled. "It's just those metal grate bridges. Doing 70 miles-an-hour, you hit that metal grate, it makes you a little skittish."
According to the Florida Department of Transportion's Charles Baldwin, even after the tragedy in Minneapolis, the District Two headquarters received zero calls from people concerned about their personal safety along Florida bridges.
"Hopefully, it's because the public has confidence in what we're doing as far as maintaining the system," he said.
Out of the 1,172 bridges in North Central and Northeast Florida, seven state and 73 local - city and county - bridges have been rated as structurally deficient, but Baldwin said that designation does not mean they are dangerous.
"If we remove that designation, even though there's a repair in place, they would tend to fall out of the replacement program," he explained. "We don't want that to occur, because then people may lose sight of the fact that they ultimately need to be replaced."
So despite being scheduled for replacement, structurally deficient bridges have received the necessary repairs to keep them safe. Otherwise, D.O.T. engineers said they would be closed immediately to all traffic; D.O.T. allots at least $8 million per year for bridge repairs and even more when a bridge is scheduled for replacement. Engineers guaranteed Florida bridges are inspected at a minimum once every other year and every open bridge is currently "safe."
"With our inspection process, we're confident that our bridges are in very good shape, not only in our district, but the State of Florida," D.O.T.'s Keith Campbell assured.
Campbell said he was very surprised by what happened in Minneapolis and factors such as weather and environment, which are very different in Minnesota compared to Florida, could be to blame. Also, the Minneapolis bridge had a unique design; there are no steel bridges in Florida constructed with the trusses and support system under the roadway.
After the rain, Anderson said he had bigger worries than Florida's bridges, he hopes he can get his car out of a flooded parking lot.
"That's more of a scare than the bridges," he joked. "No, the bridges here are sound. They're fine."

Hello, everyone, I'm from the St. Louis area. I work as an engineer and my wife is a businesswoman. Growing up, we were never really exposed to guns by our parents, and admittedly we are not experts on the subject matter; but after getting married and going out on our own we always thought it would be a good idea to at least keep one in our house for self-defense. We just never made it a big priority for many years but due to recent events we have become a lot more motivated. We'd also like to carry concealed.
A couple of years ago while my wife was away on a trip, a guy banged on my door at 10 p.m. and tried to get me to let him in by shouting things to make it sound like he was an authority figure of some sort (although he never actually used the word "police"). I dialed 911 but he was gone by the time the cops came. I bring this up because if he had decided to force his way in, I would have been practically defenseless. I had a kitchen knife, but depending on how big he was or what he was armed with, that may very well not have amounted to anything. And sometimes just generally we get the creeps, feeling like somebody is in or around our house and it's not a good feeling. Although it hasn't turned out to be real yet, you never know. We live in a decent neighborhood but no place is immune from crime.
Also because of the recent school shooting in Connecticut and other previous mass shootings, you just never know when some wacko will come around with a gun. If that ever happens, I'd like to have at least a fighting chance instead of just being a sitting duck and would want the same for my wife.
Finally, the reaction of the anti-gun people is absolutely alarming. I don't think they really understand that their irrational ideas and behavior are motivating more people to go out and buy more guns, not less. They won't be happy until we law-abiding citizens have only muskets, while the criminals and crazies still have AR-15s with 30-round magazines. I say muskets because they always say the Second Amendment was written when they only had muskets, so they must have intended for us to be armed with those only. They just advocate this stuff to make themselves feel good and their "solutions" don't really address the real problems in our society that cause mass shootings. And when I debate with them (in another forum) they call me sick and extremist and "gun nut" and all kinds of other names and tell me I have no compassion and don't care about the kids that were killed at Sandy Hook and so on. They are so judgmental and arrogant and insulting and through their talk they betray the fact that they know precious little about guns or gun owners. I may not know that much, either, but then again I'm not the one behaving that way. It's insane.
So my wife and I don't know a lot about guns but we're starting to learn. We went to a gun show today and we bought a very small, inexpensive gun just to start with, that fits within our budget. It's a Sundance .25 ACP. Next month we're going to do our concealed carry class and later in the year we'll buy some new guns for the house as well as concealed carry.
We also joined the NRA on the spot, and a friend of ours recommended we join Gun Owners of America as well so we will do so. We need these organizations to balance out the anti-gun extremists I described above.
Anyway, sorry for the long ramble. I would sure appreciate your recommendations for what kind of guns we should keep in our house for self-defense, as well as concealed carry for each of us, keeping in mind that we're relatively new to gun ownership. I'll also be browsing the various threads to learn more.
Thanks and I look forward to discussing things with all of you. Sorry for the long ramble. Hope you've had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Not having had children means I've spared the world another person and that's as environmentally friendly as it gets.
But environmentally minded donors draw the line in different places.
That road can be described in just six words: culturally modern, economically inclusive, environmentally responsible.
But then the data came in, and the environmentally concious governor saw the light.
We need a center-right that is culturally modern, environmentally responsible, and economically inclusive.
"Neutralization will be conducted in a safe and environmentally sound manner," Kirby said in a statement.
We have one of the most environmentally degraded regions in the world by sheer pressure of human activities.
And so as we continue to diversify our fuel supply, we must step up domestic oil production in environmentally sensitive ways.
But emotionally and environmentally, you simply don't add up.
To keep our economy growing, we also need reliable supplies of affordable, environmentally responsible energy.

Moreno, who averaged 7.5 yards per carry against Vanderbilt, also became the 13th player in school history to surpass 2,000 yards rushing in a career. He currently sits at the No. 10 spot with 2,096 yards. Moreno leads the SEC in scoring at 9.43 points per game.
The Bulldogs lead the league in both total offense (429.6 yards/game) and passing offense (260.1 yards/game). Through seven games, Georgia has been forced to start four different combinations on the line, including a lineup against the Commodores featuring two true freshmen, a redshirt freshman, a sophomore and a redshirt sophomore.
This was Moreno¹s second SEC Offensive Player of the Week award of the season after he garnered the honor following his performance against Central Michigan.

I've had her for 6 weeks and she's 3 1/2 months old.
She would leave for Texas (from MN) just after Christmas and I'm afraid she wouldn't remember us when she got back. Is there a valid fear of re-acclimating a dog back into a family after being away that long? I won't be able to go to Texas during her training either. Also, is that too young to send? How old was your pup when you sent him?
I have to decide soon as the trainer is holding his last spot for me.

Re: FullSimplify on Hyperbolic Functions
The reasons why some of these do not work have already been explained
before: basically they are that FullSimplify when using certain
transformations functions, cannot use assumptions during the
intermediate steps and also that certain transformation functions only
"proceed in one direction". In particular this means that you often
need to use explicitly ComplexExpand or TrigToExp with FullSimplify.
This is one of such cases:
r1 = ArcCosh[1 + b^2/2];
r2 = 2*ArcSinh[b/2];
r1 - r2], b > 0]
However, this is more tricky:
r1^2 - r2^2], b > 0]
-4*Log[(1/2)*(b + Sqrt[
4 + b^2])]^2 +
Log[(1/2)*(2 +
b*(b + Sqrt[4 + b^2]))]^2
The problem seems to be again that FullSimplify does not try certain
transformations that go in the "opposite direction" to what it normally
does, but without which it can't see the cancellations. You can make it
see them by forcing expansion of terms:
This is actually an interesting case because it shows a use of
FunctionExpand with assumptions in cases where FullSimplify with
assumptions is alone not sufficient. Also note that ComplexExpand
performs better than TrigToExp here.
Of course if you make the expression even more complicated it will get
harder and harder for Mathematica to reduce it and at some point it
will become completely impossible. This isn't really surprising, is it?
