Springfield Armory 1911 EMP9 NIB $1048. Been thinking about this 1911 the past few months. I had told myself, self no more after I purchased a G19 G4 earlier this month. Nonetheless, self & I had a little discussion the other day after holding her in my hands. Self & I walked back inside laid down my DL, CHL, CC on the glass top counter right above the EMP9. The salesman asked why I did not buy it earlier. LOL, told him we had a little discussion outside, then I just grinned.
Here's a few pics;
BTW, already put 100 rounds down Range. Shoots great!

I first appeared between the pages of Harper's in March of 2004—4 images printed 2-0ver-2 in the Reader's section. This one-time honor (or so I thought) has grown into one of the best working relationships of my career. There isn't a pedestal tall (or worthy) enough to hold the magazine's Art Director and the Assistant Art Director.
(Did I mention that Stacey and Alyssa came to hear me speak at School of Visual Arts in NY last September?)
Harper's is an artist's dream-come-true. Plenty of lead time is given to read the copy, ponder the problem and come up with a solution (with one legitimate exception). I feel valued, am rewarded handsomely and, best of all, I'm entrusted with full creative control (to date, everything has been accepted 'as-is' with no revisions).
How did I get to be so lucky?
(The January 2010 issue marks my 5th time in the magazine and features a portfolio of my work. Full scans of the actual layout will appear here in February.)

She threaded a sheet of copy paper into her typewriter and sought inspiration in a blank gaze at the ceiling.
"Forgot my pencil and copy paper," he explained, grabbed them, and vanished.
There she helped herself to a yellow pencil, furnished by the Journal, and a folded pad of copy paper.
Then she rolled a fresh sheet of copy paper into the typewriter and started 207work.
It was fascinating to watch the print appear like magic upon the long rolls of copy paper.
Dropping limply into his chair he reached mechanically for his copy paper.
Placing the sheets back on the desk, she inserted 212a fresh page of copy paper into the typewriter.
I gathered up my opened sheet of copy paper and moved obediently into the next chair, which she had indicated.
He dropped back into his chair and scratched viciously at the copy paper with his heavy black pencil.
To do this I glanced down at my copy paper, 111 with one eyelid raised in favor of his profile.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
With the season ending injury sustained to Tank Williams during the first preseason game, the Patriots needed some help in the secondary. That help arrived in a hurry as the defending AFC Champs have signed veteran John Lynch to a reported one year, $1.5 million deal.
Lynch, 36, is a nine time Pro Bowler who wanted to be released by the Broncos because his role would be significantly reduced this season. Lynch brings size (6'2″ 220lbs) and experience to the secondary, totaling 59 tackles and one sack in 2007. Lynch is entering his 15th year in the NFL but actually made the Pro Bowl last season as an injury replacement.
My Take: You gotta like this deal. There are no real downsides to bringing Lynch in as he'll be able to step in right away, learn the system and give you quality snaps. He has Super Bowl experience and will bring a lot more to the table to some of the other Patriot secondary signings this offseason (Ade Jimoh anyone??).
Tags: John Lynch, Patriots
I like this move. Lynch although old will bring some toughness to the secondary. He is a hustling and hard hitting safety. The kind of guy you hate to play against.
Can you imagine a WR wanting to go over the middle against Rodney Harrison or John Lynch? he'll get crushed either way…the opposing QB may think twice before calling a play with slants across the middle

Split-pea and cumin soup from Marrakech
Today I take you to Marrakech, the red city of the desert, the Mother of all oasis! We went to the fruit and veg' souk to choose the ingredients for a very typical Marrocan soup in the warm colours of the flag.
Ingredients list:
- Split-peas, one cup
- Water, 5 cups
- Carrots, 2 diced
- Red onions, 2 diced
- Cumin, 3 Tbsp
- Parsley , chopped to taste
- Lemon, ½ squeezed
- Salt and pepper
- Bay leaves, 2
First wash and chop all the vegetables.
Then melt the onions in a pan (with lid) and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Cook until brownish.
Add the well rinsed split-peas, the diced carrots and churn all into the hot oil for a few minutes.
Add the cumin and the bay leaf with the 5 cups of water.
Season with pepper and a little salt ( I prefer to add the rest of the salt at the end).
Leave on a medium heat for 45 min to one hour. Remove the bay leaves. Check the tenderness of the split-peas and carrots. Serve with parsley and lemon juice . Add salt or water if necessary.
Good food is a journey in itself, it bears a story, it stirs your soul. It takes you away and back…
Enjoy !

Beet hummous with fresh mint
This is a perfect holiday recipe: healthy vibrant colour and gorgeous taste for a minimum of efforts…
I used mint from the wonderful herb garden that comes with the villa we are staying in here in Crete and I would encourage you to grow a pot of mint wherever you can as it is such an uplifting smell and it grows really fast in pots, on windowsills or balconies in pretty much any climate.
Ingredient list:
- 1/2 tin of chick pea
- 1 cooked beetrout
- 1 spoonful of Tahini
- Virgin cold pressed Olive oil 100ml
- Lemon juice of 1 and 1/2 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 spoonful of ground cumin
- a small handful of crushed mint leaves
Blitz all ingredients in a food processor (I use a standing blender); adding a bit of olive oil or even water too make it lighter if the consistency is too thick. But I never puree it to finely as I enjoy a bit of texture.
Beetroot is great for joints and particularly important for runners or anybody who wishes to take care of their knees. I love it also for its happy colour !

Chicken in white wine with lemon and garlic
In Spring, I like fresher and lighter meals but sometimes I still want these to have a wholesome, restorative content. This is a both a fragranced and subtle dish, perfect for springtime, but with lots of tasty and meaty juices. Use a crisp dry wine wine – something full of flowers like a Sancerre or a Gaillac would work a dream but a dry Moravian Riesling such as ones we tasted in Prague a couple of weeks ago would have also been perfect. Of course,the winter version of this would be the very classic "Coq au vin"!
The combination of lemon, wine and garlic is irresistible and good for body and soul. The paprika lifts the lemony flavours nicely and prevent them from getting too sweet or syrupy, with its peppery kick.
Ingredients list:
- One plump organic chicken
- Lemon in brine or fresh sliced lemons (unwaxed)
- Garlic cloves, 4 to 5
- White wine, 500ml
- Stock, 250 ml
- Carrot, 1 medium
- Bay leaves, 2
- Paprika, 1 Tbsp ( choose a hot version)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Choose a nice organic chicken and a good dry white wine and this recipe is foolproof! Beyond these two ingredients, and so long as they are tip-top quality, you can relax and play around with the rest…
This was inspired by a long sunny week-end in Prague where we tasted some fantastic local Moravian wines, all dry, crisp and wonderfully flowery ; a proud reflection the beautiful spring flowers adorning the city : From the lilac in blooms along the river islands to slopes of blossoming orchards on Petrin Hill. The lemon and paprika flavours are very present in Czech cuisine and so I decided to blend all of these memories into a simple and humble dish, such as this casserole. The sort of dish you will feel proud to put in front of your guests because of its wholesome quality and simple but stricking flavours.
Wash and pat dry the chicken but leave it whole – it will be very easy to carve later. Fry the garlic cloves in a deep dish with a little rapeseed oil. Add the chicken and brown all of its sides in the garlic oil. Try not to burn the garlic so move things around briskly.
Add the wine, chopped carrot and seasoning and get it to a high boil then lower the heat and simmer, covered for about 45 min to one hour, adding the stock along the way so there is always about 2 inches of liquid around the bird. Leave the chicken breasts down so they soak up the juices as they cook and infuse in the lemon and garlic flavoured sauce. If using freshly sliced lemons, put those slices in at the beginning but if using lemon in brine, put them in half-way through as they will cook quicker than fresh ones.
Serve when the meat is falling off the carcass and you have no need for a knife ! I accompanied this meat with a celeriac and sweet paprika purée (mashed with olive oil) which worked really well.

Tire Pressure acts strange FIXED
2 weeks back, when i started my car after shopping, it showed Front Left tire yellow "pressure low, drive and brake safely". i drove home, waited the tires to cool down and checked with gauge - all showed around 38 psi. so i started the car and resetted TPMS. Guess what, warning went away.
i read in another thread that there is a threshold for the TPMS indicator to turn yellow, and it is 25 psi. i would imagine that the tire pressure go down below that once the tires cooled down. Normally, warnings show up during startup, but goes away once the tires warm up. in my case just the opposite has happened.
same thing happened the next time i took my car. after driving 10-15 mins (i.e tires warm up), warning in front left. once back at home and tire cool down and TPMS reset, it goes away. anyways, i went ahead and filled more air into the problem tire and ever since no warning occurred even after driving quite a lot.
last week i coded for TPMS pressure display. it shows the same thing! the problem tire shows 27 at cold start, goes up to 28.3 and then after 15 mins driving, even though tire temperature keeps going up, pressure goes down to 25.5.
no warnings yet, confirming the 25 psi threshold for yellow. all other tires behave normally. ie. 37 psi at start increases to 40 along with the temperature rise.
is the tire flat??
Sounds like you have a bad sensor.
Did you also check the tire pressure with tire pressure guage?
Side note, I may have seen you on I-90W between E 55th and E 72th street exit on Sunday evening
F10's are very few in number in here, I must say. My eyes light up even when i see a BMW!
Yes, i checked the pressure with my guage, it showed all four at 37-39.
im gonna buy two more and measure to confirm it. (thats what TJ does! :D )
I'm also having a similar issue. The manual says that my particular tires should be at 35psi.
I had the sensor come on last night, and checked all four tires this morning. They all read between 33 and 35 psi. (this is using the previously recommended Amazon digital gauge.) I filled them all a little, so they're now around 37ish and reset the system. So far so good.
This is the second time this has happened, in about 2 months. Bad sensor??
I recommend this gauge. It works quite well for me - http://www.amazon.com/Accu-gage-Tire...pr_product_top
i check my tires regulary,with a guage.
as soon a the weather got cool here, tire alerts came on at startup.
when i checked them they were all down around 10 pounds each.
i have never seen tires drop that much pressure before.
this is the first time ive ever had runflats and dont know of they lose more air or lose it more quickly then traditional tires.
the low profile tires make it more difficult to see the loss. when driving i didnt feel the loss,because the loss was gradual.
Glad to report that the issue has been fixed. As X Men had spontaneously diagnosed, it was indeed the sensor system at fault. replaced that and now my TPMS shows very similar pressure to my guage.

The new Olympic Channel brings you news, highlights, exclusive behind the scenes, live events and original programming, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
Even at the age of 11, racing hurdles for the first time, she made an immediate impression on coaches at the Don Valley stadium in her home town of Sheffield, West Yorkshire – particularly Tony Minichiello who took her under his wing and guided her to Olympic glory in London 15 years later.
After that first taste of athletics Ennis took up the sport in earnest, and became National Track and Field high jump champion at 14 with a leap of 1.70m, a title she would defend two years later.
But she really came to prominence after switching to heptathlon, and in 2005 took gold at the World Junior Championships, third place in the World University Championships and first atthe All England Athletics Championships.
Training for several hours a day, six days a week elevated Ennis to the point where she was seen as a medal hope for Team GB at Beijing in 2008 – until disaster struck in the form of a serious bone fracture, meaning she would miss the Games.
But Ennis proved resilient as well as gifted, and with the help of Minichiello recovered to win the World Championships the following year — even changing her long jump style to lead with her weaker foot – followed by the World Indoor Championships title in 2010.
By 2012 she had become perhaps Britain's most famous contemporary athlete – a fact not lost on visitors in London for the Games, where her face gazed out from posters all over the capital. Travellers arriving at Heathrow Airport were met by her image almost as soon as they stepped off their planes.
But despite being an elite athlete Ennis admitted to often being physically sick with nerves before competitions and felt deeply the pressure to win at her home Games from an expectant nation.
Ennis, 26, put in 10,000 hours of training for the Games. A typical day would include plyometrics drills – short, explosive bursts of exercise – in a park in Sheffield, weights sessions and endurance sessions to prepare for the 800m.
And it was that event, the final contest of the 2012 Heptathlon that sealed Ennis' place in the hearts of spectators in the Olympic stadium and watching around the world on television.
After a strong start in the first event, the 100m hurdles, Ennis broke the British hurdles record and smashed her own personal best with an exhilarating run of 12.54secs, before performing solidly in both the high jump and the javelin, her weakest event. Ennis went into the 800m with a commanding 188-point lead. And it was here that she became a true Olympian.
Knowing she could comfortably take gold overall in the competition without winning the race, she produced a world-class , bursting from the middle of the pack to finish first with a British and Commonwealth record score of 6,955 points and provoking ecstatic scenes in the stadium.
The pressure was off, and the face of the Games had delivered. Afterwards she said: 'I can't believe I've had the opportunity to come to my first Games in London and won an Olympic gold medal. It's unbelievable.'

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported on Friday, Jan. 18, that a federal grand jury has charged former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin with 21 counts of official corruption ("Ray Nagin Indictment: First New Orleans Mayor to Face Corruption Charges," by Gordon Russell). Among the charges: Nagin used his power as mayor to entice The Home Depot to award a lucrative granite installation contract to a Nagin family company.
Nagin is also accused of taking bribes (including shipments of granite) in exchange for steering no-bid contract work to certain contractors. Says the federal indictment: "Mayor Nagin used his public office and his official capacity to provide favorable treatment that benefitted the business and financial interests of individuals providing him with bribery/kickback payoffs in the form of checks, cash, granite inventory, wire transfers, personal services, and free travel." The Times-Picayune posts the indictment here. ("Ray Nagin Indictment: View the Court Documents," by Keith I. Marszalek.

Chocolate lovers have fewer strokes, study finds
By Frederik Joelving
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A sweet tooth isn't necessarily bad for your health-- at least not when it comes to chocolate, hints a new study.
Researchers studying more than 33,000 Swedish women found that the more chocolate women said they ate, the lower their risk of stroke.
The results add to a growing body of evidence linking cocoa consumption to heart health, but they aren't a free pass to gorge on chocolate.
"Given the observational design of the study, findings from this study cannot prove that it's chocolate that lowers the risk of stroke," Susanna Larsson from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm told Reuters Health in an email.
While she believes chocolate has health benefits, she also warned that eating too much of it could be counterproductive.
"Chocolate should be consumed in moderation as it is high in calories, fat, and sugar," she said. "As dark chocolate contains more cocoa and less sugar than milk chocolate, consumption of dark chocolate would be more beneficial."
Larsson and her colleagues, whose findings appear in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, tapped into data from a mammography study that included self-reports of how much chocolate women ate in 1997. The women ranged in age from 49 to 83 years.
Over the next decade, there were 1,549 strokes, and the more chocolate women ate, the lower their risk. Continued...

30 Days of Prayer
October 9 kicks off 30 days of prayer for Orphan SundayFind out More
Partnership Model: Sweet Sleep's Insomnia Project (Youth-Focused)
Description: You may think there's no reason to put yourself through the torture of another lock-in. Here are 210 million reasons why you should. According to UNICEF, there are 210 million orphaned and abandoned children worldwide. Many of these children sleep in old, broken or soiled beds or have no beds at all – forcing them to sleep on cold, hard floors making them susceptible to crawling, biting insects and disease. So there you go. 210 million reasons to plan a lock-in for Orphan Sunday.
What Local Host Does: Your students can literally change the lives of orphans around the world by participating in INSOMNIA — an all-night event where students experience what it's like to be an orphan and not have a place to pray, to dream or to sleep sweetly.
What Organizational Partner Does: Make accessing the materials you need for your "Lock-in" easy! Everything you need is free and available for downloading. Resources include:

Partnership Model #3: Sweet Sleep's Nickels for Nets Project (Church-wide)
Description: Nickels for Nets is a challenging, educational and fun program to get your church members involved with Sweet Sleep's mission to provide life-saving mosquito nets for orphaned and abandoned children in Africa and Haiti. Without these nets, children are susceptible to malaria and its dangerous, deadly effects. Cerebral malaria (the worst case of the disease) can kill a child in 72 hours after being bitten by the infected mosquito.
What Local Host Does: Your congregation will be challenged to give or raise as much money as possible (whether in the form of nickels, change or dollars) to provide life-saving mosquito nets to other children in Third World countries. Each mosquito net is only $8, so for every 160 nickels (or 800 pennies, 32 quarters, 80 dimes, etc.) a child raises, a net will be provided to an orphaned or abandoned child in immediate need of a mosquito net.
What Organizational Partner Does: Sweet Sleep will provide:

Brett Favre Shooting a Remington Versa Max
Retired (for now, but who knows) Brett Favre was treated to a bird hunting trip by Remington to try out their new Versa Max shotgun. The Versa Max is Remington's newest semi automatic shotgun whose best feature is being able to handle almost any load 12 gauge from 2 3/4″ – 3 1/2″ Magnum shells. The Versa Max achieves this by its Versaport gas system which opens or closes gas ports based on the size of the shell.
Check out Favre in the videos below using the Versa Max. He's not that bad of a shot considering it seems like his first time bird hunting.

text: GDP adjusted PAYG and GST instalment amounts This overview explains how and why the gross domestic product (GDP) adjustment is applied to pay as you go (PAYG) and goods and services tax (GST) instalment amounts, and what to do if you think this will impact your tax liability. Note: The following information is based on a balancing date of 30 June, which is when the majority of taxpayers in Australia balance their accounts. For most taxpayers, the term income year used in this publication refers to a financial year (1 July to 30 June). How we calculate your instalment amount Eligible taxpayers who report PAYG instalments or GST quarterly have the option of paying instalment amounts that we calculate for them. These amounts are on your quarterly activity statement or instalment notice. We calculate your instalment amount from information you have previously reported and we adjust this amount to take into account likely growth in your business and investment income (for PAYG instalments) or your GST net amount. Why we adjust your instalment amounts The information we use to calculate your instalment amount is generally taken from your most recently assessed income tax return (for PAYG instalments) or annual GST return (for GST). As PAYG and GST instalment amounts are intended to reflect your expected tax liability for the current income year as accurately as possible, we adjust the instalment amount to reflect expected changes in the economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) deflator. If instalment amounts were solely based on your previous tax situation without any adjustment, they might not cover your actual tax liability – leaving you with an additional payment to make when you lodge your annual return. How we calculate the GDP adjustment We update the GDP adjustment factor at the start of each income year using national accounts data provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The adjustment is based on GDP activity over the previous two calendar years. The GDP adjustment for the 2016–17 year is 2%. The 2% GDP adjustment factor will: apply to PAYG instalments for the 2016–17 income year for taxpayers whose income year starts on or after 1 April 2015 be used in the calculation of your PAYG instalments if you choose to pay the quarterly instalment amounts we work out for you. This does not affect you if you choose to work out your own instalments (using the 'rate' method) or pay annually, because the GDP adjustment factor is not applied to your instalments. See also: Contact us about PAYG instalments When the GDP adjusted amount does not match expected income or business turnover If you think the instalment amount we calculate will be too high or too low, you can do one of the following: pay the instalment amount worked out by us and have any overpayments refunded (or make up any shortfall), once your income tax return or annual GST return is processed vary your instalment amount work out your PAYG instalment or actual GST net amount yourself. Next step: PAYG instalments – how to complete your activity statement Paying the instalment amount worked out by us You can choose the instalment amount option in the first quarter of the income year - for most taxpayers, this is the activity statement or instalment notice due in October. If you choose this option for: PAYG, you need to pay the amount shown at label T7 on your activity statement or instalment notice GST, you need to pay the amount at label G21 on your activity statement or instalment notice. If you choose to pay the PAYG or GST instalments calculated by us, your actual income tax and GST liability will be worked out when your income tax return or your annual GST return is processed. Any overpayments will be refunded to you, provided you have no other tax debts. Vary your instalment amounts You can vary your PAYG or GST instalment amount if you believe the amount calculated by us (which includes the GDP adjustment) will mean you will pay more or less than your actual tax liability for the income year. Note: You may be liable to pay the general interest charge if you vary your instalment down and end up paying less than 85% of the actual tax that you should have paid on your business and investment income (for PAYG) or GST net amount. Work out your PAYG instalment or GST net amount You can choose to work out your PAYG instalment or GST net amount yourself for: PAYG instalments, use PAYG option 2 (income × rate) on your activity statement GST, use GST option 1 or 2 on your activity statement to work out your actual GST net amount. These options are generally only available in your first quarter. If you have received an instalment notice in quarter one and you want to go back to working out your PAYG instalment or GST net amount each quarter, you will need to tell us that you want to revoke your election to pay instalment amounts. We will then send you an activity statement to complete and lodge. You need to revoke your election to pay instalment amounts by 28 October. Next step: You can revoke your election by phoning us on 13 28 66 between 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday. Last modified: 22 Feb 2017QC 16312

I couldn't get a hold of the owner of this pic unfortunately. I have been searching for this bag to purchase, and cant get any hits on it, but maybe someone here can help. Thanks guys, much appreciated.
Ebay, or sometimes CDNN has cases to sell.
Those are the bags that come with the MArk 23 I believe. I have seen them forsale in the past. Try gunbroker too - Just do search for "HK" and "HK case"
the BLACKHAWK HK pistol bag is on EBAY right now. i just bought one..it holds your pistol and 2 magazines.
I've seen this bag for sale @ Long Island Shooting Center in NY. I can probably get you a phone# if you want it. They might ship you one if you call.
It's been almost 9 months, hopefully he's found one by now!

Kia Troubleshooting Questions? Ask a Mechanic
Hello, neither of these jobs are terribly difficult. It takes about a half hour to swap the brake light switch and roughly an hour to change the shifter. I'll post that information below so you can see what's involved.
I would like you to know there where a few recalls regarding brake light switch replacement and re routing a wire harness for it. If the dealer didn't address this you may want to print it off and bring it to their attention. That work should be done at no cost to you.
Brake switch recalls
The brake light switch just unplug, has a jam nut to loosen and screws out. Click here for location infoIf you're having problems with the brake lights not working or the shifter not wanting to come out of park It could very well just be a bad brake light switch or the associated wiring. I would really suggest hitting them hard on that recall.

My first summer as the new children's librarian at the Spring Branch Memorial Library has been a whirlwind of fun for me and I've enjoyed getting to know all the customers who visit the branch, especially the children. I hope the kids have enjoyed the programs as much as I have and want to remind everyone that there are still three weeks left of the Summer Reading Program (SRP) left, with exciting programs throughout the week for children of all ages. In addition to regular storytimes for infants, toddlers and preschool children to age 6 the branch will be will host special programs with activities appropriate especially for children until August 7th. This week we will learn the beautiful art of Origami with the Japanese Culture Society of Houston on Thursday at 3 and 4 PM. The final two weeks of SRP will include a magic show by the majestic magician Cherie Kay, a program by Imagination Station using puppets to tell Texas Tall Tales and finally our end of summer Aloha party. Tickets will be given out starting 30 minutes before each program on a first come, first serve basis. Because of limited space and the up to 50 tickets will be distributed to children who are old enough to sit without a parent. If any tickets remain at program time, parents who would like to enjoy the program with their children may receive tickets while they last. Please be sure to check the event schedule on the branch homepage for further program details.

Dispatches from the fight against homelessness and AIDS
SCOTUS Delivers Great News—Second Class Marriage Now History
Posted by Sunny Bjerk , June 26, 2013
In case you haven't yet heard, this morning the Supreme Court of the United States released their ruling that found the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. In particular, the Supreme Court found that the 1996 federal law violated the Constitution's Fifth Amendment, which guarantees the protection of equal liberty.
The decision—like many other of the SCOTUS decisions revealed this week, including the surprising Voting Rights Act decision—fell along ideological lines, with a 5-4 decision. The Justices in the majority: Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, argued that DOMA existed for no other reason than to " identify a subset of state-sanctioned marriages and make them unequal," Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority. The written opinion also stated, ""DOMA instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others."
While DOMA is no longer the law of the land, it is important to note that it doesn't force or even obligate the States to pass same-sex marriage in their jurisdictions. Rather, the overturning of DOMA means that same-sex couples who are married will now be eligible for the 1,000+ spousal benefits distributed at the federal level (Social Security, family leave, etc.).
In addition, the Supreme Court also refused to rule on California's infamous Proposition 8, which sought to solely define marriage as between "one man and one woman," stating that Prop 8 supporters/anti-same-sex advocates "lacked the legal standing to appeal a lower court's decision against it." In other words, California's ban against same-sex marriage will not be upheld and L.A. County said that they were "prepared to begin issuing marriage licenses and performing ceremonies for gay couples" after the ruling is put into effect.
As many bloggers and news outlets have reported, these two monumental rulings come exactly 10 years after the Supreme Court overturned the archaic anti-sodomy laws in the country and many major cities celebrate Gay Pride in the coming weekend.
While the world continues to suffer injustices, let's take a moment to relish this victory as a sign of many more to come.

Bus crash kills 30 in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A bus collided today with the wreckage of a truck that was attacked by Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan, killing 30 people aboard the bus in a fiery crash, officials said.
The battered truck was left in the middle of a narrow road on the border of Helmand and Kandahar provinces for several days after insurgents opened fire on it.
Police considered the area too dangerous to enter, the officials said.
Before sunrise today, the bus smashed into the truck and both vehicles burst into flames, badly burning many of the bus passengers, said Abdul Razaq, the provincial police chief of Kandahar.
Razaq said eight passengers were injured. Omar Zawak, the governor's spokesman in Helmand province, put the injury total at 11. Both said the casualties included men, women and children.

Posted by Peter Sheldon on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on July 29, 2014
Order management systems (OMS's) typically haven't garnered the same attention as other commerce technology. Orchestrating online orders from the point of purchase through to the point of fulfillment was viewed (through the eyes of eBusiness professionals) as a back-office process. In fact, eBusiness professionals have historically paid little attention to these systems and were happy for them to be developed and minded by supply chain or enterprise architecture professionals. But like the awkward kid at school, Omnichannel OMS systems have blossomed and turned into the must-have technology for almost every eBusiness leader.
So what's all the fuss about?
Posted by Lily Varon on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on June 23, 2014
One of my first jobs was as a sales associate at a clothing store, after which mall shopping lost any of the leisurely appeal it once held. I still find myself folding clothes I didn't unfurl and fixing hanger hooks to all face the same direction. Chalk it up to knowing how the sausage is made, or perhaps a logical side effect of working in eCommerce research, but I do most of my shopping online these days.
The store shopping experience hasn't changed much since my time as a sales associate. But that's all about to change. We're at the beginning of a retail transformation: The growing percentage of retail revenues driven by eCommerce and the influence of digital technologies on consumer behavior and expectations alike means that retailers are being forced to reevaluate the value proposition of the store. The result? A digitally enhanced retail store.
Today, a mix of technologies are coming together to marry the online and offline experiences to revolutionize in-store shopping and the role of the physical store. However, we're still in early stages. Many of these initiatives remain in experimental phases, and glaring success stories are few and far between. Despite the rarity of iron-clad business cases for these initiatives, eBusiness professionals and their colleagues in store operations are forging ahead.
Together with eCommerce technology analyst Adam Silverman, I recently published a report laying out the current state of digital store initiatives and the promising opportunities a digital store overhaul represents for retail. Some of the ways retailers are transforming retail stores include:

Two months ago, SAP announced their intention to acquire Hybris and back then I blogged about the potential implications for Forrester's clients. Today, SAP has formally completed the acquisition, which brings further clarity for the road ahead:
With growth comes investment, so given that eBusinesses across the globe continue to experience double-digit compound annual online sales growth, it should come as little surprise that 66% of these same firms are planning to increase their investment in commerce technology in 2014. In my latest research report "Commerce Technology Investment And Platform Trends — 2013", Forrester polled 49 eBusiness leaders to understand their investment and technology implementation plans for the next 12 months. Here's what the top of the investment priority list looks like:
Posted by Peter Sheldon on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on July 25, 2013
Our clients continue to realize sustained online revenue growth which means many eBusiness leaders have both the funds and backing to continue to invest heavily in commerce technology. Across the board, retailers, consumer brands, and industrial suppliers alike are significantly bolstering their capital investment programs to ensure they stay at the forefront of digital innovation while ensuring that their online, fulfillment, and back-office systems are ready to scale for anticipated growth over the next five years. Subsequently Forrester is hiring for a Principal/Senior Analyst to help us expand our coverage of this incredibly dynamic area.
Here's a quick snapshot from the job description:
Posted by Peter Sheldon on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on June 5, 2013
After repeated false starts of trying to build its way into the enterprise eCommerce space, SAP has finally decided to do a U-turn on its strategy and buy its way in. For years there has been intense speculation that SAP might acquire hybris, and behind the scenes there has certainly been much umming and ahing over the enterprise software giant's commerce strategy. Hybris has been on a tear recently, and until today was widely expected to file for an IPO in 2014; however, the firm's destiny has for some time been in the hands of its VC investors (Huntsman Gay Global Capital, Meritech Capital Partners and Greylock Israel). The decision to sell to SAP was likely influenced by these VC firms who, between them, have a controlling state in the firm. The value of the acquisition has not been disclosed, but given hybris' strong earnings over the past four quarters (the bulk of which was directly from license revenues) and with the looming path of an IPO, we can speculate that SAP paid a substantial price tag — although the terms of the transaction are likely complicated.
So the big surprise is not why, but why now? There is no single answer to this question — but we can look at the factors that have increasingly piled on the pressure for SAP to change direction and pull the trigger on this acquisition:
Posted by Peter Sheldon on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on March 5, 2013
Today hybris announced it has secured an additional $30M in funding from two Silicon Valley VC giants (Meritech Capital Partners and Greylock Israel). This funding comes only 18 months after hybris took a significant funding round from Huntsman Gay Global Capital to secure their acquisition of iCongo in August 2011. Despite an unprecedented period of growth over the past two years the firm has remained profitable. So why has hybris taken this additional round of funding and what does it mean for customers, prospects and partners?

It's way past my bedtime, so I can't do the math now...
But here is what you can do: Shoot the rifle with your iron sights at fifty yards. It would be real good if your windage is "dead on" and your POI is 3cm above your POA. If your windage is off, moving the front sight 0.3 mm will move your POI about an inch, at fifty yards.
Once you are printing on paper where you want to at fifty yards with your irons you can use your iron sights to line up your scope.
Prop the rifle on something steady, then look down the irons at something 100 yards out. Then shift your eye up to the scope and see what it is looking at compared to your irons.
If, for example, the scope is "looking" at something to the left of the irons, you need to shim. If it's far to the right you need to file.
I have in the past used an ordinary steel washer as a shim and sanded it down by hand with fine sandpaper until I get agreement between the irons and the scope.
Good Luck!


text: EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVNT) today announced a new publication showing that adult patients with refractory chronic gout (RCG) treated bi-weekly with KRYSTEXXA ® (pegloticase) experienced statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQOL), pain and physical function. The article confirms that chronic gout, especially refractory chronic gout, is associated with decline in HRQOL and physical functioning compared to patients without chronic gout. The results were published in the print edition of the July 2012 issue of The Journal of Rheumatology. "The significant improvements we observed in KRYSTEXXA-treated patients' pain, physical function and health-related quality of life are important as the daily burden of untreated RCG can be tremendous for these patients," said Vibeke Strand, M.D., Adjunct Clinical Professor, Division of Immunology and Rheumatology, Stanford University School of Medicine. "These improvements in quality of life measures also translate into meaningful savings in terms of cumulative treatment costs for patients with RCG." The pre-specified, pooled analysis evaluated patient-reported outcomes from two replicate, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III studies of patients receiving treatment with KRYSTEXXA 8 mg every two weeks or every four weeks compared to placebo. At weeks one (baseline), 13, 19 and 25, investigators measured patient-reported HRQOL outcomes through four widely utilized assessment tools, namely, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) physical component summary scores, the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), patient global assessment of disease activity (PtGA) and pain by visual analog scale (VAS). Results at week 25 demonstrated that mean improvements from baseline were statistically significant and exceeded minimum clinically important differences (MCID) in patients treated with KRYSTEXXA 8 mg every two weeks, the approved dose and schedule. The data demonstrate that at least 50% of patients showed improvements in HRQOL parameters except for HAQ-DI in which 45% of patients showed improvements compared to placebo. Monthly pegloticase also improved HRQOL but the effects were not as robust as the bi-weekly treatment group. There was little to no improvement seen in the placebo group.

ITworld.com –
Spread spectrum modulation has been the basis for many IEEE 802.11- and 802.11b- compliant wireless LANs. Through the use of frequency hopping and direct sequence, these wireless LANs provide data rates from 1 to 11 Mbps. The demand for wireless broadband LANs and metropolitan-area networks, though, is pushing the envelope on these relatively low data rates. Also, there's not much hope that spread spectrum will ever deliver much higher data rates because of inefficient use of bandwidth.
For higher speed applications, you should consider the newer and more efficient wireless network products based on OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). I feel that OFDM will revolutionize the wireless network industry.
How does OFDM improve the situation?
An OFDM-based system divides a high-speed information signal into multiple lower-speed "sub-signals" that the system transmits simultaneously at different frequencies. For example, the IEEE 802.11a standard specifies an OFDM Physical Layer that splits the information signal across 52 separate sub-carriers. Four of these are pilot sub-carriers that the system uses as a reference to disregard frequency or phase shifts of the signal during transmission. The remaining 48 sub-carriers provide separate wireless "pathways" for sending the information in a parallel fashion.
The division of the information flow and use of the pilot sub-carriers make OFDM signals much more resilient to interfering RF signals and multi-path propagation. In addition, the parallel-form of transmission over multiple sub-carriers enables IEEE 802.11a-based wireless LANs to operate at data rates up to 54 Mbps. These higher data rates and robust communications enable the implementation of wireless LANs supporting higher-speed applications operating over wider areas, where the environment is somewhat hostile toward radio transmissions.
Okay, what's the catch?
An issue with OFDM is that there's no single standard. In addition to IEEE 802.11a, HiperLAN/2 implements a similar, but different version of OFDM. To make matters worse, there are several proprietary implementations of OFDM as companies attempt to outshine each other with better efficiency and more features. To counter this problem, the OFDM Forum is in the process of establishing a common, global OFDM standard for wireless transmission.
The OFDM Forum is currently exploring specific wireless industry issues dealing with interoperability between market segments, harmonized standards, and spectrum allocation. The eventual standard will solve interoperability issues and provide economies of scale when manufacturing applicable products. Of course this results in lower costs to the end users.
Very few companies today have OFDM-based wireless LAN products on the market. Wi-LAN offers the I.Will product line, an OFDM-based system that operates at 30 Mbps.
You can expect many more products based on OFDM to begin appearing on the market in early 2001. If you're planning the implementation of a wireless LAN needing to support higher speed applications or where interference may be a significant problem, consider using I.Will or waiting until there are more systems to choose from.
Stay tuned; next time we'll take a closer look at options for enabling wireless Internet access within metropolitan areas.

Jim Hightower: "The Mythical 'Dow' Versus The Real 'Doug' "
(h/t: Best of the Left podcast)
2 comments:
- Michael The Molar Maven said...
Although my portfolio is looking rather strong right now, I suspect Jim Hightower may be correct. But hasn't it always been true that those who don't earn enough to have investments never see the gains enjoyed by the wealthy? It seems the rich get richer always at the expense of the less fortunate. On the other hand, it's been said (falsely, I might add) that Wall Street always does better when a Republican wins the White House. Can you imagine what the Dow Jones average would be right now if investors actually liked President Obama? I could probably retire right now. And to think, I actually voted for the president. With respect to the economy, I do think, although not to the extent of the Dow's recent surge, that there are signs of improvement.

The news Saab has been making in the past few months – the defection of its sales director, declining sales numbers, worker layoffs – runs counter to the feel-good story of the brand's very existence. On the other side of that, though, the brand is still here, there's a resurrected factory in Sweden still pumping out cars, Jason Castriota is still working on an anxiously anticipated 9-3, and the 9-4X – unveiled to general acclaim recently at the LA Auto Show – is just months away from retail.
That's a lot going on for such a small, and new, company. We sat down with Saab chairman Victor Muller and president Jan-Ake Jonsson to find out what makes the 9-4X a real Saab, how the 9-3 is progressing, and where the 9-2 and ePower rank on the company's to-do list.
Follow the jump for the story.
[Image: Gabriel Bouys/AFP/Getty]
The New 9-4X
The Saab 9-4X was revealed recently to good reviews, but the biggest question we had is how can Saab guarantee that it is a Saab? Jan-Ake Jonsson said this wasn't a case of Saab sticking a badge on a Cadillac SRX but rather that "This car is a joint development within the former General Motors. We have had people participating in the entire design and engineering of the car, and we made sure that it delivers on the exterior design, interior design, ride and handling. We feel very good about this car."
The sales numbers given so far have been 15,000 to 20,000 per year, but Jonsson clarified, "The life cycle average for this car is 12,500 units per year, 10,000 in the U.S. and 2,500 for the rest of world. But of course you have the typical life cycle curve, which is a little bit more in the beginning."
The 9-4X has put a bull's-eye squarely on the Audi Q5, even though it's a little larger. "Definitely the Q5 is what we're targeting," said Jonsson. "I would say it's a convenient place to be, a little bit more compact than the BMW X5 or Audi Q7, but you've got a little bit more room compared to the Q5 and BMW X3."
Long-term projections for the total sales mix, based on 120,000 vehicles, would be 40,000 to 50,000 9-5s, 60,000 to 70,000 9-3s, and the 9-4X making up the remainder.
In spite of the company's current break-even point being around the 100,000-unit-per-year mark, Jonsson said that in three years when the 9-3 is on sale that an 85,000-per-year volume will keep the company financially balanced.

Hi Tommus,
Great theme, though I've run into some trouble with the
Configure in "Appearance" => "Customise new" => "Footer"
text that is appearing on the left menu bar. My WP install is up to date, and all recommended plugins are installed/active, however I don't have "footer" available under the customise function – is there somewhere else I should be looking for this?
Hey there,
Sorry, see the header section of the theme options for this copyright message input.
I need to know how to change the size pf the slider, i mean, the slider have the size 1349×634, i want to change it to 1349×400, i need to know where is the line code to change it
Hey there,
The slider settings can be modified from the "revolution slider" settings page, where you can modify everything you need, take a flip through the revolution slider documentation that came with the theme also.
Hello, Love the theme! I'm wondering how to enable comments for portfolio posts. I see there is an "allow comments" checkbox under discussion when I edit a portfolio post but nothing shows up when I publish it.
Thank you
Hey there,
Portfolio posts are not comment supported, that button is default, if you need commends you'd need to customise the theme.
Hello…nice theme. Just a couple of questions:
1) Is there a way to include blog post samples on the home page alongside the portfolio samples?
2) Are there full page (1 column, no sidebar) layout options for portfolio and blog pages? I prefer to have my images wide.
3) Is it possible to choose more wide than tall portfolio images? In the demo there are only tall images for the portfolio pics on the home page.
4) Do you know if the theme would work well with Woo Commerce?
Thank you.
Hey there,
No to all, sorry.
Please disregard this comment. I was having trouble with the last comment I left….didn't realize it went through. It wouldn't let me delete this one. Thanks.
Already answered above.
Is it possible to change the background image of full width page ?
Hi Tommus, I've a problem with the revolution slider. There's a grey bar on the left of it and the outline on the right isn't right. I've tried different things to fix this, including installing everything all over again, but it didn't help. Do you know what's wrong? Take a look here: jannekescheepers.nl/home. Thanks!
hey there, for all support please leave a ticket at http://tommusrhodus.ticksy.com and provide a site url. Cheers!
Hi Tommus I am about to buy this theme. But in the demo, the Portfolio link points to a 404. Could you please point me to any websites using Side theme so I could check out their Portfolio page formats? Thanks for your time.
Thanks for letting me know, should be working now
Hi, I tried to submit a ticket but the form doesn't seem to work correctly. ?Anyway, for some reason, featured posts aren't visible anymore on my blog page (http://jannekescheepers.nl/blog/). A few weeks ago, everything was fine. I added a featured post to each post so I don't understand what the problem is. Can you help?
Hi there
Do you have any plugins installed? If so please disable any non-recommended ones your running as these could be causing this (especially Jetpack)
The support area is having a few troubles at the moment, but if you can persevere it would be very helpful as I may need logins to look into this further
Thanks, Danny (TommusRhodus Support)
Disabled Jetpack and it solved the problem. Thanks!
Its probably the Photon module within Jetpack causing this, so if you still want to use Jetpack, you can do so but you will need to disable this module
Anyway, I'm glad I could help – thanks for letting me know it worked
Cheers, Danny (TommusRhodus Support)
Hi! Great theme!
I have a question : How to set the default state of a sub-menu to "open", like in the demo (home 1, home 2 and home 3).
Thank's a lot!
Hey there,
It's open when you're on a page, or the parent page in that sub menu, so on our demo you'll notice it's auto open when you're on any of the homepages.
Hey Tom,
I can't seem to get my hompage to have either a blog or sliders. After reading many posts here I run into some errors. For one hostgator isnt allowing me to instal the Ebor Portfolio Post Type as well when I try to import images to the rev slider it says there is an error. How do i get my homepage to have images?
hey there, for all support please leave a ticket at http://tommusrhodus.ticksy.com and provide a site url. Cheers!
Wordpress 4.5 breaks my theme; too many redirects message
Hey there,
This has nothing to do with the theme (tested and working fine here), likely a 3rd party plugin you have installed, or perhaps your server .htaccess is corrupted by the update. Contact your webhost support, they can help.
This is a great looking theme that I'm considering using for my portfolio. Two questions:
1) Is it possible to embed a pdf viewer in a portfolio post, as I do a lot of magazine work that I'd like to display? 2) Can a square on the main portfolio page link directly to an external article?
Hey there,
1. With a plugin, yes, though it will be in the thin text column rather than the wider images column, unless of course you modify the theme files.
2. Yes with this: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/external-permalinks-redux/
Hello! I'm looking to remove the boxed phrases from my home page sliders, but haven't been able to figure out where in the WordPress theme I can do this. Much appreciated!
Please see the "revolution slider" tab on your WP Dashboard, all sliders can be edited in there.
I'm unfortunately not seeing a tab with that name anywhere.
Hi there
It must be there (or something similar) as this is what handles the sliders – to be clear, this is the admin area we are referring to https://i.gyazo.com/9b0f5a2f105ae973fd098c0861847b8e.png
If your not actually referring to a slider, please provide a screenshot of exactly what it is your aiming to remove.
Thanks, Danny (TommusRhodus Support)
Hi, i'm used to using visual composer with my WP websites, how can i manage and make changes to this theme?
Use the post content for posts & pages as needed. /portfolio/ on your URL shows your portfolio posts automatically.
Hey, great theme, still need some tweaking to make it look the way i one. but for now, one short question. "Subtle Background Patterns" plugin isnt available anymore, right ?! any good alternatives?
You can visit their website direct and add the image to the background image area in "appearance => customise", that's all the plugin did anywayhttps://www.toptal.com/designers/subtlepatterns/
getting there, theme looks better and better. still have one last question, is there an option to just show elements from a certrain portfolio category on a special page ?
Hi there
The only way I can think to do this would be to simply create your special category, add the projects you want to it, and the simply link to to the category page WP creates for you (like this example from the demo) http://side.tommusdemos.wpengine.com/portfolio-category/design/
Thanks, Danny (TommusRhodus Support)
excelent! works perfect. thank you. last question, it would be great to show the "title" of the portfolio elements without the howering. is that possible ?
Hi there
I'm afraid not – as you saw in the demo, this is by design
Thanks, Danny (TommusRhodus Support)
no problem. is it then possible to hide the title on hover? sorry for this big amout of questions
Hi there
Sure, add this to your custom css area within the theme options and your all set
#content .isotope-wrapper.portfolio article:hover h3 { opacity: 0; }
Thanks, Danny (TommusRhodus Support)

Book a holiday to Amsterdam and discover its thriving art scene and renowned nightlife.
Hire a car to see the wonderful sights and scenery of the Netherlands on your own terms.
Holidays in Amsterdam give you the best of both worlds – you can choose from a cultural trip filled with sightseeing and trekking around museums, or a vibrant weekend of bars, food and shopping galore.
Considered one of the best cities in Europe for a short city break. Amsterdam is compact, so grab a bike or walk along the canal paths, stopping to admire the 17th century architecture so revered in the city. Browse modern art in swanky contemporary galleries before heading off to see an old master at the Rembrandt or Van Gogh museums. Shop along the bustling P.C. Hooftstraat for luxury goods before stopping for a coffee and delicious waffle, or drop in for a well-deserved beer in the chic De Pijp area. Our flights to Amsterdam will have you there in no time.
Once thought of as a 'stag and hen' haven, Amsterdam has since emerged from its regeneration as a destination steeped in luxury. From sumptuous, modern, five star hotels and gourmet restaurants to high-end shopping plazas and swanky bars. It is time to embrace Amsterdam's latest incarnation.

Fire and Gold oil painting
I used to love it as a kid when my parents would take me to the forest preserves near our home outside of Chicago. We would spend the whole day bike riding, picnicking and being immersed in nature and I relished this time with my family. In Fire and Gold I wanted to recreate those warm memories, choosing reds and yellows of autumn to heighten those happy feelings and using energetic strokes with my paint reminiscent of a carefree, simpler time.
