The Bones is a wonderful and entertaining read for anyone who has ever gamed. You'll smile as you recognize the victories in getting the perfect roll at the right time and commiserate with the low roll that caused everything to fall apart. In between, you'll laugh and maybe even learn something.

About the Book
This isn't about math. It's about unlucky breaks and victory against all odds.
This isn't about percentiles and probabilities. It's about late-night game-ending rolls where everything hinges on that climactic moment when one single die skitters across the table and determines the fate of a hero, a city, an empire…
The Bones gathers writing about fandom and family—about gamers, camaraderie, and memories— and ties them together where they meet: our dice. These are essays and anecdotes about the ways dice make us crazy, about the stakes we play for and the thrill we get from not knowing what the next roll will bring.
Step back and look at how we play with dice.

MartyDecember 15, 2009
We used to "Zen" out our dice. I believe Will had us switch from leaving the dice on 1, so they "knew" what to avoid, to 10 or 20, so they "knew" where they were supposed to go.
This will be an amazing read!
GregDecember 15, 2009
For me it wasn't necessarily how the dice sat – but which ones I rolled, or how they were rolled.
I could see picking up a copy of the limited edition if you go this route and make one available.
Dave T. GameDecember 15, 2009
I think if I found out there was going to be a limited edition hardback, I would have to pick it up. I wasn't quite connected enough to hear about "Things" until long after it had come out, but after having read it, buying The Bones in a limited edition would be obvious to me.
Daniel M. Perez (Highmoon Games)December 15, 2009
This is a great idea for a book! What's even cooler, I now have this idea for promoting it: upon release, we get a Blog Carnival going with people writing a post on the same subject. I think it's a perfect topic for a blog post and it can drive awareness of the book all around.
I'm gonna mosey over to the RPG Bloggers Network to pitch the idea. Once the release date is known, the plan can be put into action. 🙂
Jeff TidballDecember 15, 2009
That's a great promotion idea, Daniel. I know next to nothing about blog carnivals, but from what I hear, this seems like a good topic for one, and it could really serve to make people aware of the book.
Let us know if, or what, we can do to make this happen. (Other than, you know, hitting you with a release date. That's something that Atomic Overmind will eventually set. You'll find out when we find out.)
Daniel M. Perez (Highmoon Games)December 15, 2009
I will write up a post with the idea and organize the Carnival for the month of release. It's fairly loose like that. I already put out the idea via Twitter today (http://twitter.com/GamerTraveler/status/6704767917).

I wouldn't mind being part of the blog carnival if it gets going.
I was not approved for membership in the RPG Bloggers Network, but if you've got room, keep Flames Rising in mind.

I'd totally buy a limited version, so find another 49 buyers.
And I'll totally do the blog carnival. I'll contact the lot if you later to arrange details.
PrestonMay 13, 2010
This sounds like a fun book, and I'd be interested in it as an e-book. Not PDF, but something I could read on my ebook reader such as an EPUB.
Jeff TidballMay 14, 2010
What kind of reader do you have, Preston?
PrestonMay 14, 2010
I have an "old" Sony 505. It's an e-ink device like the Kindle, but without wireless. Considering I can load two or three books at once while it's tethered, I haven't really missed wireless.
I'm saving my pennies for next year when the next class of e-ink screens come to market. They'll have even better contrast and support video (still black and white, though).
PookieMay 14, 2010
Will you do two sets of the signed books as you did for Things We Think About Games — one for the USA and the other for Europe?
Jeff TidballMay 15, 2010
Not sure what you mean, Pookie. There was just one set of "First Twenty" TWT books, although we did mail them to both continents. Can you clarify?
PookieMay 21, 2010
My memory may be failing me. I thought that last time you had done two sets of books — one for the USA market and another for Europe. Obviously not.

Just FYI: nothing on this page tells me how much either edition costs. I had to click on the Buy Now link to find it. Same with the Things We Think About Games page.
If there were PDF versions of all three books (Things We Think About Games, The Bones, and Hamlet's Hit Points), I would buy all three, to read on my iPad. I *may* buy these in hardcopy, but I'll probably wait several months or buy them at a con (Dreamation 2011, at the earliest), so get those digital products cranking!
Will HindmarchJuly 13, 2010
Thanks for writing, Matthew! I'm happy to say that we've got PDF editions of all three books coming soon, and that I've corrected the pricing issue on these pages. I hope you'll be able to pick up your PDF copies of the books soon. Thanks for bearing with us!

I'm a little more off the ball with my HK .40S&W then I am with my friends Sig 226 9mm. I personallly dislike the .40 recoil, and I've put well over 1000 rounds through my pistol since I got it in August. I've shot maybe 200 rounds from the 9mm.
Not sure how experienced you are as a shooter, but to a lot of people, the .40S&W has some of the harshest recoil of any pistol.

Beauty buy: Nicky Clarke Frizz Control hairdryer review
If your hair is likely to over react to the faintest hint of humidity and damp, or fluff up after every wash and dry, then it's time to try the Nicky Clarke Frizz Control hairdryer which can fight frizz and keep your barnet looking as polished as poss.
We put it to the test and found that the ionic technology can really leave hair looking sleek.
It's a powerful piece of equipment with 2000W of energy to blast at your hair - frightening away the frizz. With two heat settings and turbo control and all the usual fittings (detachable nozzles for straight hair and a diffuser for volume and curls), this is a good piece of kit to help keep your hair in check.
We tried it out and found the usual post shower frizz was significantly reduced - plus we loved the sleek design and the cool shot function to help set your style.

"LEED certification confirms the Colorado Convention Center's national leadership in sustainable operations," said Mayor John Hickenlooper. "It is an objective standard that illustrates Denver's progress in becoming a more sustainable city to millions of visitors each year."
"The recent renovation and expansion of the Colorado Convention Center created a truly magnificent space for millions of visitors every year," said John Adams, General Manager of the Colorado Convention Center. "With this certification, we continue the intention to create the most healthy and enjoyable experience for all who visit Denver and for all who live in the Denver metro area."
"The national Watkins study of meeting planners found that when everything else is equal, four out of ten conference planners say they will choose the 'greenest' city for their convention. That makes the LEED certification an important marketing tool in selling Denver for future meetings," said Richard Scharf, president & CEO of VISIT DENVER, the Convention & Visitors Bureau.
LEED is an independent, non-profit, third-party rating system established by the United States Green Building Council that seeks to recognize & reward buildings that have taken a comprehensive approach to sustainability. The LEED rating system is completely voluntary and consensus-based, incorporating both established industry principles and innovative environmental technology. LEED Certification for existing buildings is gained by satisfying stringent efficiency requirements in the areas of building operations and maintenance.
Following an expansion in 2004 that doubled its size, the Colorado Convention Center began implementing sustainable practices, with policies aimed at increasing energy efficiency, conserving water, reducing waste and assisting meeting and event planners with reducing the environmental impact of their conferences and events. In 2008, CCC became the first convention center to hire a Director of Sustainability, Lindsay Smith, who partnered with Boulder's UHG Consulting in 2009 to help spearhead the 18 month application process to attain LEED-EB.
"When we first made the decision to pursue LEED certification, the Colorado Convention Center was already well-known within the industry for our sustainable initiatives," said Lindsay Smith, Colorado Convention Center Sustainable Programs Manager. "The LEED certification process was a valuable tool that helped us define our sustainability programs with the intention to increase our building efficiency, reduce our environmental impact, raise awareness amongst stakeholders, and benefit the local Denver community."
"We are pleased to spearhead this successful LEED application process for the Colorado Convention Center team," said Darren Johnston, Principal at sustainability consulting firm UHG. "Through a collaborative effort we were able to effect significant environmental and economic gains, and make the facility a more comfortable, healthy place for employees and visitors in the process."
The 2.2 million-square-foot Colorado Convention Center, located in the heart of downtown Denver, offers a 584,000 square foot exhibit level that can be divided into six individual halls. In addition, 63 meeting rooms together total 100,000 square feet, with 85,000 square feet of hotel quality ballroom space also available. The 5,000 seat multi-functional Wells Fargo Theatre can be used as a lecture hall, general session area for conventions and tradeshows, or a concert hall for national headline entertainers.
About Colorado Convention Center
Owned by the City of Denver and managed by leading venue management firm SMG, the Colorado Convention Center is one of the most practical and user-friendly meeting facilities ever built. More than 100 professional meeting planners worked with the architects to design every aspect of the building. The result is a simple, sensible, state-of-the-art facility with easy traffic flow and everything needed to run a successful event, all in a stunningly beautiful building in the heart of downtown Denver. The Colorado Convention Center is committed to hosting conferences and events that consider the triple bottom line of economics, environment, and community. For more information on the Colorado Convention Center, visit www.denverconvention.com.
About UHG
Boulder, Colorado-based UHG Consulting is a full service sustainability consulting firm specializing in design, administration and support of sustainability initiatives ranging from waste reduction to LEED certification. UHG's services include LEED consulting, Property Audits, Energy Audits, Waste Audits, Project Management, and Green Building.

Is flapless implant surgery a viable option in posterior maxilla? : a review
Doan, Nghiem, Du, Zhibin, Crawford, Ross, Reher, Peter, & Xiao, Yin (2012) Is flapless implant surgery a viable option in posterior maxilla? : a review. International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 41(9), pp. 1064-1071.
This article reviews the literature on the outcome of flapless surgery for dental implants in the posterior maxilla. The literature search was carried out in using the keywords: flapless, dental implants and maxilla. A hand search and Medline search were carried out on studies published between 1971 and 2011. The authors included research involving a minimum of 15 dental implants with a followup period of 1 year, an outcome measurement of implant survival, but excluded studies involving multiple simultaneous interventions, and studies with missing data. The Cochrane approach for cohort studies and Oxford Centre for Evidence- Based Medicine were applied. Of the 56 published papers selected, 14 papers on the flapless technique showed high overall implant survival rates. The prospective studies yielded 97.01% (95% CI: 90.72–99.0) while retrospective studies or case series illustrated 95.08% (95% CI: 91.0–97.93) survival. The average of intraoperative complications was 6.55% using the flapless procedure. The limited data obtained showed that flapless surgery in posterior maxilla areas could be a viable and predictable treatment method for implant placement. Flapless surgery tends to be more applicable in this area of the mouth. Further long-term clinical controlled studies are needed.

WARMUP® INSULATION BOARD is a water resistant, insulated tile backer board made of extruded polystyrene, faced on both sides with a fibreglass mesh embedded into a thin cement polymer mortar.
The board is designed to withstand a load of 30 tonnes per square metre and is ideal for use with underfloor heating as it prevents the heat from penetrating down into the substrate below.
As a wall tile backer board, tiles can be fixed directly onto the surface without prior preparation and, being totally waterproof, is suitable for bathrooms or showers.
Using Warmup® insulation boards with underfloor heating can lower your running costs by as much as 50% while reducing your carbon footprint. In fact, they can pay for themselves in as little as 2 and a half years. In testing, heat-up time was cut from over 2 and a half hours to just 20 minutes. This data applies to Warmup® heating products only.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi, did you get a chance to go through my question
how to determine the basis, and how I can prove it,
when you are saying the gain, how to determine it, my parents bought it way back almost 25 years ago?
Well, they use to pay it in equities through an investment organization over these 25 years. I am also going to put this money as a deposite for a home here in USA. does that help my tax situation by anyway?
Well, the home is sold in Egypt, my father deposited the money in my account in Egypt and wire transfered it to my account in USA.
Hi are you still there?
I apologize for the dealy, but I'm back.
The transfer of money to the U.S. Account will have no effect on your tax situation. However, I want to make sure that you are aware of the TDF 90-22.1 filing requirement since you have an Egyptian bank account and are a U.S. resident. This form is required to be filed in June 30th of each year to report foreign bank accounts with balances of over $10,000. Here's a link to the form on the IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=210244,00.html
Please let me know if you have any more questions. If not, please hit the green accept button.
I am sorry, I just want to make sure I understand you right when you say "The transfer of money to the U.S. Account will have no effect on your tax situation" does that mean I don 't have to pay extra taxes due to selling the home in Egypt or transferring the money to US.
You don't have to pay extra taxes because you transferrd the money to the U.S. You will have to pay tax in the U.S. on the gain on the sale of the home.
I read in article 533 on the irs website that I will be exempt if I have lived in the home for two years in the last five years before the selling date, did you hear about that?
You can exclude the gain on your principal residence if you lived there two out of the five years before the selling date. However, if you have lived in the United States since 2005, then you would not qualify for that exclusion. If you are living in the United States, your principal residence would have been here.
This is assuming the home was sold in the current year.
Yes it was just sold, my final question is that I came in 2005 with F1 Visa student, I filed my taxes in 2005 , 2006 , 2007 as non resident allien. do you think that doesn't qualify me to claim this exemption? since I became resident only in 2008 .
Hi , r u still there?
Still here...I am just verifying one point in the IRS code surrounding this to make sure I advise you correctly.
Sure, take your time. I am sorry. Also, if I calculate the cost of the home in Egypt, can I include the inflation rate. for instance of my parent paid 1000 egyptian pounds 25 years ago, this will have value much more than that now, or should I just take it as is without considering the inflation rate?
No problem.
I apologize. I believe you would qualify for the exclusion, as you filed a non-resident alien return and being away at college qualifies as a temporary absence from your prinicpal residence. I apologize for failing to consider that fact earlier.
Unfortunately, you cannot take inflation into account when calculating gain. The cost would be non-adjusted dollars. So, if cost $1,000 25 years ago, you still use 1,000 in your gain calculation.
No problem, so you think I may qualify for this exclusion based on the fact I was F1 student in 2005,2006,2007 filling non resident allien taxes? do you have any article that can support that, this case is not mentioned in 533 instuctions on the IRS website that is why I am confused, do you have any IRS article that can support my case. This will be fantastic!
Here is an excerpt from the Internal Revenue Code discussing the principal residence exclusion:
There is nothing that specifically mentions your case, so this is just my intrepretation of your situation.
Remember that the law is that the home had to qualify as a principal residence for 2 full calendar years, not just parts of 2 separate years in the past 5 years.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX says "(not to exceed an aggregate period of 2 years)" my case is three years , do you think that this may contradict with my case?
But within the past 5 years, you were only absent for 2 years (2006 & 2007), correct? Also remember times you went back to Egypt would not be part of the temporary absence.
So, in conclusion based on all facts we discussed, you think I qualify for this exemption? if yes, should I report it to IRS and claim exemption or not report it at all?
It sounds like you qualify for the exemption. If you do qualify, you still report the sale on Schedule D of your tax return but notate that it qualifies for the principal residence conclusion. Remember that in tax law can often be gray and is sometimes open to intrepretation. I strongly suggest seeking the assistance of an accountant in your area when you prepare your 2011 taxes.
Sure, I will do that. you also was a great help to me. Thanks very much
Yes, it is correct, you would go back to 06/2006. If it was your principal home for only a year and a half, then you would not qualify for the exemption.
Use the currency exchange rate at the time of the purchase. So, 3 Egyptian pounds per dollar at time of purchase and 6 Egyptian pounds at time of sale.

Universum files for bankruptcy
Famed promotional firm Universum Box-Promotion has filed for bankruptcy in Hamburg, Germany. "Universum is no longer salvageable," said Managing Director Waldemar Kluch. The company had recently received about 20 invoices totaling about 1.5 million Euros, prompting Kluch to call the company "a bottomless pit." The company is also facing lawsuits from Zsolt Erdei and Sebastian Zbik among others. Kluch called the decision a difficult step, but he "doesn't want to throw good money after bad." A Hamburg court will now appoint a liquidator to conduct any further steps.
Among the current stars on Universum's roster are heavyweight Denis Boytsov and cruiserweight Rakhim Chaakhkiev. Founded in 1984 by Klaus-Peter Kohl, the company promoted the the likes of the Klitschko brothers, Dariusz Michalczewski, Juergen Braehmer, Felix Sturm and female legend Regina Halmich and was for many years Europe's most successful boxing promotional company. The downfall was caused when the ZDF network decided to get out of the boxing business, failing to renew a contract that paid 20 million Euros annually.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello JA Customer,
Unfortunately you cannot use the money in your 401k account for any purpose whatsoever without paying taxes on the amount you withdraw. There are absolutely no exceptions to that rule.
None of the money in your 401k has ever been tax paid, and it becomes immediately subject to tax in the year the money is withdrawn, no exceptions at all.
There are some very few exceptions to the early penalty withdrawal, but this would not even apply to you since you are over the age of 59-1/2.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thank you JA Customer

Are WE having fun! Seriously? We could leave tomorrow and I'd consider it an entirely successful vacation, and we've still got three and a half days to go!
Yesterday was spent at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. We had a singularly fantastic time. The Chili clan was joined by the TwoBlueDays and their daughter – I'm thinking up a good pseudonym for her, because I can't very well call her "Daughter," now, can I? – and Babycakes, who got a mental health day from school for the occasion.
A GIGANTIC vehicle was borrowed so that we could all go to the park in one car. The day was begun with a side trip to Krispy Kreme for hot donuts which, being northerners, we'd never experienced. I'm not sure that I have adequate words to put around that experience, now that I think of it – let's just say that there's nothing like it where WE come from (and I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. Don't get me wrong; they were yummy, but I don't think it's something I'd want to do on a regular basis).
We got good parking and headed right into the park. A quick stop was made so that Mimi could buy pins and lanyards for the girls for trading with the employees, and then we were in. Our first goal was Seuss Landing;
where the girls ran though The Cat in the Hat ride (I followed about three cars behind – they were too fast for me), then went right to One Fish, Two Fish. When I get home, I need to dig out the photographs from the first time we were there – Punkin' was a toddler and Beanie was JUST about a year. I've got a picture of Punkin' on One Fish, Two Fish, and it'd be fun to compare them.
After a bit more piddling about in Seuss Landing, we headed for Jurassic Park, where Daughter (I still haven't come up with a good pseudonym yet) and Mr. Chili headed for Dueling Dragons (thank the Goddess that Daughter loves roller coasters! I was totally off the hook!) while the girls and I lined up for the Pteranodon Flyers. We had to wait about 45 minutes for what the park claims is an 80 second ride, but I'm not sure we were on the thing that long. Regardless, it was a blast and totally worth the wait – especially since all of our children wait relatively well.
(Babycakes and Beanie, not waiting, but rather taking in the scenery – all my "waiting" pictures are facing-forward, and I try to drastically limit recent, full-face pictures of the small people in my life here; I'm sure you understand…)
After a lovely lunch, we sent Daughter and Mr. Chili on the Hulk. Twice. Do you think they had a good time?
There were water rides and ice cream and fudge and really? Just a fantastic time. I'm going to write later about how quickly and strongly I bonded with Daughter, and about how wonderful it feels to be with chosen family, but for now, let's suffice to say that the Chili family is having a truly satisfying vacation.
(This picture is a tradition in our family, though usually, Mr. Chili takes a picture of Bruder Chili taking a picture of Mr. Chili taking a picture of… oh, you get the idea. Keep an eye out for the other Chili vacation tradition; a picture of my cute little feet somewhere warm and sandy – we'll head for the beach later in the week.)
Wish you were here!

Wolves wrap up Nouble deal
Wolves have snapped up former West Ham United forward Frank Nouble on a free transfer and handed him a two-year contract.
Last Updated: 22/06/12 9:53am
Wolves have snapped up former West Ham United forward Frank Nouble on a free transfer and handed him a two-year contract.
The 20-year-old striker dropped into the free agent pool this summer after seeing his contract at Upton Park expire.
He has passed a medical at Molineux and agreed personal terms.
Having spent much of the last two years out on loan, he will be looking forward to pushing for a regular role at Wolves.
New Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is delighted to have brought the youngster on board, with the club readying themselves for a promotion push in the Championship.
"Frank is a player that our scouts have been watching," he told the club's official website.
"We think he has qualities that we can develop, and with his physical strength and power I feel that he can help us.
"He should be a useful acquisition to the squad and it is a good opportunity for him to come to a stable club and work hard.
"I think there is a win-win situation for both the club and the player. He is a young guy and he can add to his potential every week."
Nouble is a product of the academy system at Chelsea, but snubbed the offer of professional terms at Stamford Bridge to pen a five-year contract with West Ham in 2009.
He struggled to make an impact with the Hammers, though, and was allowed to take in loan spells at West Bromwich Albion, Swindon Town, Swansea City, Barnsley, Charlton Athletic and Gillingham.

News out of Rapid City, SD back in mid-December 2011 reported a little 1-year old by the name of Lillie RoseLyn Solles that had died at the hands of an unnamed (for obvious reasons) boy that had shaken her to death. She was injured on 12/14 and died 6 days later. She died of acute blunt-force head injury, attributable to non-accidental shaking. The 14-year old boy was NOT related to her and was NOT alone with her at the time she was injured.
What brings this story to (P)BB is that 3 weeks later, the little girl's mother – April Solles, was arrested and charged with three counts of fourth-degree rape in connection with an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year old. Adding 2 and 2 together here? April's little baby was killed by her 14-year old lover. Apparently, the alleged sexual relationship took place between July 1 and Dec. 30, 2011. Didn't he shake your baby hard enough to kill her on 12/14? And you were still fucking him up until 12/31? This puts April into a whole new category of sick, twisted and evil in my book. Fucking deplorable.
In searching the internets for more on this child-molesting cunt, I stumbled across her social networking page. She was posting status updates all around the time that little Lillie was fighting for her life. She claimed that Lillie had been diagnosed and hospitalized for meningitis and had all of her friends praying for her strength and feeling very sorry for her. All the while, it was her that had put her daughter in harm's way by having a relationship with a 14-year old kid who would eventually kill the baby. I also found that April is married to a man named Ray and has a son who is older than Lillie. I haven't seen them mentioned once in any of the news articles that I've read.
Since the alleged murderer is only 14, there's no telling yet if he'll be tried as an adult or what type of sentence we can expect. Because it's being handled in juvenile court at this point, no information is public. April being charged for rape and an inappropriate relationship will likely not get her anywhere near what a murder charge would, I have to assume that she'll be in and out in a coupe of years. I sincerely hope that April never, ever gets the image of Lillie's sweet face from her mind the rest of her life. I hope that she wakes everyday remembering that her daughter is dead because of her and what a fucking pervert she is.
Lillie will never have justice in my eyes. Her death is a direct result of the fact that her mother is a sick and disgusting animal. Her own mother put her needs, sick and twisted needs, above the needs of her daughter. A story that we unfortunately hear way too many times on this site. And while it's certainly not a new concept after reading and writing here for so many years, this particular story is just so much worse.
RIP sweet Lillie RoseLyn. I pray for your daddy and big brother too.
Thanks to Amanda for the tip.

338 Norma Review
Because the rifle shot so outstandingly well, I contacted rifle maker Richard McKinney of the Schuetzen Gun Company in Drake, Colorado, and asked him to build one for me. Richard is well known for building stunning Sharps rifles for a world-wide clientele, and as you can see in the following photo, he does not have a problem with focus, follow through or attention to detail.
.338 Norma built by rifle maker Richard McKinney
A US Army Veteran, former member of the AMU, and long range shooter, Richard was the right rifle maker for me, with a combination of experience and practice that I find unbeatable. The only other riflemaker that is of the same stature, who has built firearms for me, (in my opinion), is Jim Hoge of Canoga Park, California.
Although I did order and still have on order a barrel from Mike Rock of Rock Creek Barrels, Richard and I went down the mountain, locally, to Mark Chanlynn of Rocky Mountain Rifle Works. Mr. Chanlynn apprenticed under Barrett "Boots" Obermeyer of Obermeyer Rifled Barrels and has been manufacturing single point cut rifle barrels and building rifles too for over forty years. The one that he made for me has a 1:9.1 left hand twist in a heavy Palma contour.
The action as well as the bottom metal with a five round detachable magazine is from Badger Ordnance. It is their brand new M2008 long action.
Badger Ordnance M2008 Long Action
The Badger Ordnance Receiver is, as you can see, a double lug design with a cullet similar to the Mauser 98 action, and has an enclosed firing pin. The bolt lift is 60 degrees and is very quick, precise and smooth in its operation. On top is a Picatinny Specified rail with 20 minutes of angle built into it. I Love this action. Mating up to it is a Jewel trigger, set at 2.5 lbs. Although it is a little light for field use, its clean, crisp, and release is phenomenal.
The stock we chose was built by Tom Manners, of Manners Stocks. It is a Tactical build of fiberglass and Kevlar, is very strong and utilizes Terry Crosss hardware for the cheek piece.
On top of the rail sits a Nightforce 5.5 22 X 50 NXS for the long range shooting this cartridge was designed to do and a Sniper Tools Design Company Angle Cosine Indicator. So how does it shoot?

With his unique artistic designs, George Strait is one of those artistes who decided to stay closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the western and honky tonk swing traditions, he did not think of refashioning the genres. Instead, he will be remembered for revitalizing them for new decade. In so doing, George Strait became one of the most influential and popular singers of the decade. He sparked a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Dwight Yoakam and Randy Travis to Clint Black and many others.
His life shaped him to his destination, since it is true according to his biography that he was made to invest in country music by a power of inward talent and the rough time he faced after eloping with his collage school sweetheart. George Strait was a warded CRB award. This is not an ordinary award as it is connected to an individual artist who acts in a manner that portrays vision, creativity, leadership and performance as a core value to the development of the country radio and music. George Strait perfectly out powered his competitor to get the above reward.
It is true as any can see that this artist has done great and superb work in promoting country radio and music over the years. His career has spanned more than thirty years with hottest singles of any artist in his history. According to statistics, it is evident that he has so far sold nearly sixty-nine records and thirty-three multi-platinum albums. George Strait will be remembered as one of the top country artist over the past twenty-five years, he scoped Grammy awards as the best country album. He is still an outstanding artist since he currently holds two all-time records for the ACM awards. Really, he is among the known artist who has portrayed a real singing talent.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association and Equibase Company on Monday released the "Thoroughbred Racing Economic Indicators" for United States and Canadian pari-mutuel wagering on U.S. Thoroughbred racing during the second quarter of 2006, as well as for U.S. purses and race days, with prior-year, second-quarter comparisons.
Pari-mutuel handle increased 0.56% to slightly more than $4 billion during the second quarter of 2006, compared with $3.99 billion during same period in 2005. Aggregate purses rose 3.64%, from $293.28 million in 2005 to $303.96 million in 2006 in year-over-year, second-quarter comparisons. The number of U.S. race days rose by 10, to 1,776 during this year's second quarter.
"The second-quarter handle and purses statistics are solid -- especially given the absence of the Derby and Preakness winners in this year's Belmont Stakes field," said Greg Avioli, interim CEO of NTRA/Breeders' Cup. "The record wagering on this past quarter's Kentucky Derby, along with the continuing upward trend in purse levels, provide cause for optimism as we head into the summer months."

World Science Festival: Dark Matter, Cryptography and Getting Old
Lab coats are optional at this year's World Science Festival, now in its fourth year, but an open mind is a must. During the five-day festival, scientists, artists and thinkers convene in New York City to discuss such diverse subjects as the Cancer Genome Atlas, cryptography, getting old and how scent affects behavior. There will also be performances — a dance illustrating discoveries of the universe's dark matter and a show of mental mathematical gymnastics — and a street fair for the public to do hands-on experiments.
Brian Greene, who is a theoretical physicist and one of the founders of the festival, said the events seek avenues outside of an academic setting to get people engaged in science. Lectures and talks are meant for scientists as well as laypeople who are interested in cutting-edge research.
"By showing the true drama and wonderful stories of science, you can bring it to the general public in a way that helps to shift science from the outskirts of culture to the center," Greene said. "Most of us are all too happy to use the fruits of science, but we don't want to look under the hood."
Pulitzer prize-winning cancer researcher Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee, a panelist on "Cancer's Last Stand? The Genome Solution," said the festival didn't just celebrate scientific advances, but allowed researchers to present all aspects of their work.
"One thing that I try to do is give what I hope is an honest opinion about where the field is," Dr. Mukherjee said. "I don't try to distort what has happened — there are many, many failures amidst some successes."
Part of the marvel of science, he added, was that researchers can tackle problems in a new way when a test or trial doesn't work.
The World Science Festival kicks off on Wednesday night with an opening night gala and wraps up on Sunday with a street fair at Washington Square Park.

Additional Information
Flower Color Purple, Brown Common Name Iris Botanical Name Dutch Iris Eye of the Tiger Light Requirements Partial shade / Full sun Bloom Time Mid to Late Spring Estimated Mature Height 18-22" tall Optimal planting spread 3-6" wide Planting Season Autumn Planting Depth 6-8 Inches deep Soil Moisture Average
- Description
DetailsDutch Iris are available in a spectacularly rich range of colors. Long lasting as a cutflower. Dutch Iris naturalize easily and will multiply rapidly each year. They can perfectly be used to fill the gap between spring and summer plants. Ideal for the border! Dutch Iris have an height of 18-22 Inches. Bulb Size: Topsize 8/+ cm.
- How-To-Guides
Dutch Iris (Eye of the Tiger)
Beautiful Dutch Iris are relatively easy bulbs to grow, suitable for an open, sunny location in a reasonably well-drained soil which dries out at least partially in the summer. Eye of the Tiger has a unique color combination of purple with a bronze/maroon.
How to Grow Dutch Iris Bulbs:
1. In the Fall, choose a spot that is mostly sunny or has only partial shade.
2. Planting Dutch Iris bulbs is fairly simple. Bulbs look much like a small onion, with wiry roots growing out of one site and a spike on the other. Plant with the roots pointing down and the spike pointing up.
4. Follow the rule of thumb when planting bulbs and give the bulbs at least 2 times their height of soil above them. Dig a 3-4 inch hole, drop the bulb into it and cover with soil.
5. Regarding the spacing between bulbs, if planting in beds, leave approx 3 inches between each bulb. If you are planting in containers, you can cluster them a little closer together.
5. After planting, water well so that the soil above the bulbs settles.
6. Dutch Iris bulbs will flower in the Spring. After the flowers die down, the plant can enjoy a warmer rest period. You don't have to water too much during this rest period. Leaves will also die back and at this point, you can choose to tidy up the plant and remove the old leaves or just let nature take its own course.

In this digital age where softcopies of data can be transported globally within a heartbeat, it's easy to miscategorize printing as "old school" and overlook it altogether. However, if you think about it a bit the buzzword of yesteryear was "seeing is believing"… but right now, like it or not, this is no longer the case. Now is the era of "feeling is believing", and nothing makes the belief stronger than feeling a real piece of literary material in your hands.
Studies have even demonstrated that potential customers are more likely to remember and respond positively to printed promotional material compared to most other media. This is to be expected as we're more likely to relate to something material rather than an object that's merely virtual. Prints have texture, colours, shape and even smell. Therefore, abandoning prints might be somewhat unwise, and only do so at your own peril.
Chances are, printing may not be a core aspect of your business; therefore it may be wise to outsource it to experts in business printing services, like Presslink.
Unlike your typical print shop, Presslink provides end-to-end print management solutions that allows you to focus on your business instead of mucking around sourcing designers, printers, and mailers to transform your idea into tangibles in record time. Presslink has an impressive list of clients who have benefited from their excellent print solutions. From local business icons to world reknowned mega-brands, Presslink has helped companies translate print concepts into reality.
Hopefully by now you are beginning to understand how Presslink can take out the printing pains from your business operations. By outsourcing your printing management business process, you'll be more agile and flexible to meet the needs of your customers. Let Presslink worry about the printing stuff and rest assured that seasoned professionals are doing their best to deliver the results you need.
The fact is, print is here to stay. Regardless of whatever the media fad currently being promoted as the next big thing, you can rest assured that print will always have the big impact that it has always delivered over centuries.

Baxter also has spent time in NBA camps with Atlanta, Miami and Memphis as recently as 2009.

Click here to print the obituary below
Lois DeLand May(1922 - 2013)
Lois died peacefully of natural causes in Santa Ana, California, on September 29, 2013. Born on December 23, 1922, to Adolf and Edna Prange in Crocketts Bluff, Arkansas, she was the fourth of nine children and the Prange's first girl. She lived with her family in Arkansas until 1940 when she moved to Culver City, California. There Lois met and married Francis DeLand, and together they had four children, Michael, Ruth, Paul and Joyce. They moved to San Diego in 1951.
After Francis passed away in 1962, Lois became interested in early childhood education. She became an accredited pre-school educator through a program at Pacific Oaks College. Over a 20 year period Lois started and directed two pre-schools. She maintained a special love for young children and was always an advocate for them.
In 1990 Lois married Einer May, and they enjoyed their golden years together. They lived in Poway where they continued to enjoy travel, family, and friends and were active in their church. In 1998 they moved to Hemet. In 2005, they established residence in Orange at Park Plaza, a senior-residential community where they benefited from a caring living environment. Lois enjoyed her new friends and her daily walks. For her last nine months Lois lived in Santa Ana in a Guardian Angels Home where she received personal and loving care from staff members, Susan and Chito Gonzalez, and her sister-in-law, Barbara Prange.
Lois was predeceased by her parents; four of her brothers, Richard, James, Joseph and David Prange; her two husbands, Francis DeLand and Einer May; and her stepson, Michael May. She is survived by her four children, Michael (Jane) DeLand, Ruth (Bill) Schmitz, Paul (Sara) DeLand and Joyce (Kerry) Klostermann; her stepchildren, Alberta Allen, Susan Meshke, Sylvia (Monte) Nance and Mark (Marcia) May; siblings, Ruth DeLand, Charles (JoAnn) Prange, Bettye (Don) Howard, and Hal (Barbara) Prange; twelve grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Services will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2013, at 10 am at St John Lutheran Church, 154 S. Shaffer St., Orange, CA. A graveside service will follow immediately at the St. John Lutheran Church Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ability First/Camp Paivika, 1668 Grasscreek Drive, San Dimas, CA 91773 in support of Lois' niece Katie, a special needs individual who has held a special place in Lois' heart since she was a child.
