WA Senate candidates mark 9/11
A previous item mentions that one's view of U.S. Senate candidates raising money on Sept. 11 may depend more on your opposition to the candidate than anything else.
But it would seem that both Sen. Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi are equally respectful of the day. How else can one explain their statements on the 9th anniversary of 9/11 being transmitted about eight minutes apart on Friday evening. We print them verbatim below.
"Tomorrow marks the 9th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. I want to take this opportunity to send my prayers to the families and friends of those murdered at the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and on Flight 93. I also want to express my thanks for all those men and women who have defended us and protected us from further attacks since 9/11. And, of course, my deepest gratitude goes to those who gave their lives in service to our country.
"Time heals many wounds, but it is my deepest hope that the passage of time does not see America lose her sense of purpose or realism about the extremists who seek to destroy us. As long as the threat of terrorism exists, we must continue to stand ready to fight our enemies and defend our country."
"Like all Americans I will never forget the grief, pain, and horror the senseless and cowardly terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 brought upon our nation. For far too many families this day will be a solemn occasion to remember their loved ones and to mourn lives that were lost too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with these families at this difficult time.
"But like all Americans I will also never forget the response that day summoned from those who will always be regarded as true American heroes. From our police officers, firefighters, and first responders who ran straight into the fire to save lives. To strangers who donated blood, their time, and anything they could to help their fellow Americans. To the passengers of Flight 93 who gave their lives to spare countless others. And of course, to the thousands upon thousands of service members who have been sent to defend our nation in the wake of those attacks.
"September 11th is a day to not only honor the service and lives of these men and women but also to learn from their selflessness and dedication to the common good. As we continue to fight terrorism, protect our homeland, and make our nation a better place for our children, the examples of the heroes of September 11th should always inspire and guide our work."
So which candidate goes with which statement? Answer inside the blog.
Dino Rossi's is first, Patty Murray's is second.

FYI, if you care to read, here is some of what Allstate says about the DriveWise service, the data it collects and how it is, and can be, used:
... Allstate Drive Wise® is a program that allows safer drivers (and low mileage drivers) to demonstrate their lower-risk driving on a daily basis, and earn significant savings by doing so. ...
... your discount (if any) will be calculated on a rolling basis based on how your vehicle is driven using 12 months (6 months when you begin) of driving data. This discount is known as your Performance Rating. Note that your Performance Rating cannot increase your premium...
... The Performance Rating looks at risk factors from your actual driving and combines them into an overall profile that is used to calculate your potential savings. The factors measured include:
Driving Time of Day
Hard and Extreme Braking
Speeds over 80 mph
These factors all combine to help define your overall risk profile. You should know that individual events are unlikely to have a dramatic effect on your score. We recognize that braking (for example) may be necessary to avoid an accident caused by another driver, an animal, or a pedestrian or cyclist. However, an overall pattern of frequent hard braking is indicative of less-attentive driving.
This same rule applies across all these factors our rating system works over time and looks for broader patterns of behavior.
Also, the installation sheet says this:
Data Information
Data is uploaded daily based on trip information. ... Data captured includes daily driving data (speed, miles, time of day), VIN (vehicle identification number), driving events (hard braking, hard cornering, hard acceleration) and Device connect/disconnect.
Use of Information
... Data from the Device may be deemed discoverable by third parties and used in an accident investigation and/or litigation.
Notably absent in the data list is position, but it's probably wise to assume that GPS data is logged, too, even if it isn't used for rate determination. Still, that's not new; if you have an accident the vehicle already has logged the recent data leading up to it, including position, I believe you'll find.
My days of really hard driving are behind me so the behavior data collection doesn't threaten me and, as long as I don't receive a letter like "Dear Sir: we see that you regularly drive to the gun range...", I have no difficulty with the company learning more about the low risk they assume in insuring me. Risk analysis and the rate they assign from it is simply an expected part of their business. Within reason, if I can help them save me money while satisfying my need for insurance, I'll do it.
Still, it is ugly and might be in my foot's way when entering or leaving the vehicle. We'll see how long I tolerate it, but it is unlikely to be perpetual.

Surveillance Art
In Madison Square Park, four large screen monitors ring the tables where Shake Shack customers stop to eat their burgers and fries.
The screens are looping high-definition images of people in the park engaged in everyday activities -- sitting down, eating, walking.
It's all a part of filmmaker Ernie Gehr's installation "Surveillance."
"It's focused on the mundane," Gehr says. "The everyday pleasures of the world, rather than, "How are things going to be resolved here?" or "Will he or she get away with it or not? The camera doesn't emphasize anything, it just neutrally keeps its distance."
Gehr's monitors aren't showing grainy crime footage, but crisp, high-definition picture-within-picture rectangles. The camera pans slowly over peaceful scenes -- a squirrel scurrying over a garbage can, the green hue of the treetops, the sky reflected in the water of the fountain.
"Here is a play on the idea of surveillance," said Gehr. "Using it for amusement, rather than trying to scare people."
Gehr says he doesn't think the installation would have been successful in another city, because New Yorkers are accustomed to being on camera whether they like it or not. But with so much effort in the field of surveillance dedicated to apprehending criminals and terror suspects, the monitors in the park offer viewers a brand new way to experience the act of watching and being watched.
"It's just part of making your life richer, and experiencing more rather than less," Gehr says. "Being more aware of surveillance cameras and why they are there in the first place might make you nervous, but its part of life. Happiness and sadness are part of the same coin."
"Surveillance" is showing in Madison Square Park until May 14. Gehr says it's best to view the monitors in the evening.

What's better than a sunny Friday morning in the RedBalloon office I hear you ask? Well add to that equation delicious Darrell Lea easter eggs scattered around a park and 15 eager and hungry RedBallooners and you've got yourself a party!
This morning we embarked upon Wentworth Park to sample the brand new RedBalloon gift box from Darrell Lea – the Easter Egg Hunt Box!
We were ready and willing to put our bodies on the line in the name of hollow chocolatey goodness, and for five intense minutes we scoured a section of the park like hormonal women in the midst of a sugar craving.
"Oh no, I trod on one!"
"I saw it first, give it to me!"
"Jay, stop hitting me with the stick."
"I can't reach it, lift me up."
…came the cries of enthusiastic and excited RedBallooners amidst strange glances from commuters backed up on Wentworth Park Road.
And aside from the wet grass, various footwear malfunctions and negotiating the best path to the hordes of chocolate while avoiding stick-wielding RedBallooner Jay, it was a great way to kick off the end of the working week!
A big thanks to RedBallooners Ally, Thi and Bec for hiding all the eggs, even if some were a little tricky to reach…

That is good advice, Thrasher. I know what the OP is going through as far as the very early game goes, i.e., before you have a decently potent spell-caster. Once you get spells such as fireball, you gain some very useful crowd control capabilities. I read a few replies earlier about the bandit group with a lot of archers in back behind infantry - in this instance I'd use fireball or something similar to control the archers and then cone of cold will allow you to quickly dispatch the infantry. Then later in the game you get goodies like crushing prison for eliminating single, more powerful opponents…good times
Never underestimate using a mage with good strategy.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mark DeRosa and Ted Lilly got the Chicago Cubs back on track -- DeRosa with two fine swings and Lilly with another impressive outing.
DeRosa hit a grand slam and also a two-run homer to match his career high with six RBI, Lilly pitched eight shutout innings and the Cubs ended a four-game skid with a 9-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.
"It felt good to contribute," DeRosa said. "Hitting the grand slam, I felt kind of put the game away. We needed this win, no doubt. We've had our share of adversity."
DeRosa hit his third career grand slam and produced his second multihomer game, which he also did on Aug. 9, 2006, at Oakland while with Texas. His power stroke helped Lilly (9-5) win his fourth straight decision.
Lilly was on the cusp of his fifth career complete game and third shutout, his first since he blanked Boston in a 3-0 win on Aug. 23, 2004, for Toronto.
DeRosa's two-run homer came in the fifth off Barry Zito (3-12), then he connected for the grand slam in the eighth against Billy Sadler to give him 10 home runs, matching his 2007 total. All five of his June homers were hit in California. DeRosa had five total RBI over his previous 17 games.
"Lilly gave us a big game on the mound and DeRosa gave us a big game with the bat," manager Lou Piniella said. "It was a good win for us."
Lilly struck out for the fifth time to start the ninth and the Cubs fans still jumped to their feet to give him a warm ovation, despite him becoming the first pitcher to do so since Clay Hensley in 2006.
"That was pretty funny. It would have been more fun to hit a little bloop single somewhere," Lilly said. "I felt like I tried every different swing and every different stance."
The fans cheered again when Piniella lifted Lilly for Kerry Wood in the ninth following consecutive singles. Wood allowed Rich Aurilia's two-run double.
Lilly had been campaigning for Piniella to use him as a pinch-hitter. But probably not now.
"I wouldn't blame him, especially after what he saw tonight," Lilly said. "I don't think that I put much fear in any of those pitchers. I guess once the scouting report gets out, I'm done now."
Matt Murton hit a two-run double and Kosuke Fukudome also drove in a run for the Cubs, who were swept by the Chicago White Sox over the weekend to end interleague play and had dropped eight of 12 coming into this four-game series.
Lilly outpitched Zito in a matchup of a pair of lefties and former A's teammates, with Zito becoming the major league leader for losses and falling to 0-8 at home in the Giants' waterfront ballpark - where a large contingent of Cubs fans were in attendance.
Zito had to throw an extra 16 pitches after an error by third baseman Jose Castillo in the second, allowing Fukudome's RBI single for the Cubs' initial run.
"He had some bad luck out there," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He had a tough error at a bad time."
Zito, trying to win back-to-back starts for the first time all year, has a 5.99 overall ERA and 7.33 at home. Zito walked five in five innings to up his season total to 22. That's after he didn't walk a batter in his last outing for the first time in 2008. But he also had a season-best six strikeouts.
The $126 million pitcher also became the franchise leader for losses before the All-Star break.
"It's real frustrating. There's no excuse," Zito said. "My stuff was crisp and that's a good sign. I'm encouraged even if I didn't get the result I wanted. We ran into Lilly tonight, who pitched great. I feel more like myself as far as my stuff goes. That makes this one even harder. I was ready to turn it around."
Lilly has 17 career wins in June, matching his winningest months of May and September. He's 9-2 over his last 14 starts after starting the year 0-3.
"He started off slow," Piniella said. "I mentioned a month or six weeks ago his stuff was getting better. His velocity, and he worked on his curveball. You could see he was going to get on a little bit of a roll and he has."
Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez is away from the team for three days to attend to a personal family matter, Piniella said. DeRosa is playing in his place.
"No one's going to replace him," DeRosa said. "He's one of the best hitters in the game."

A column of wildebeest cantered rigidly in the other direction—all spindly legs, candyfloss white beards, and sloping backs.
Enormous herds of hartebeest and wildebeest were on each side, and countless zebras.
If I leaped down, the wildebeest would kill me to a certainty.
What could there be in my wiping my face to provoke the wildebeest anew?
Hence their trivial names of "blauw" wildebeest and "brindled" gnoo.
The Kaffir had shot a wildebeest, he said, but he had come to assist them in disposing of theirs.
The springboks did not interest them; but the flesh of the wildebeest would have been a treat to all.
My first shot in Africa was at a wildebeest at three hundred yards.
For the last half-hour I was too busy watching the manœuvres of the wildebeest bull, to take my gaze off him for a moment.
Some hunters brought in three wildebeest and an antelope this morning and the whole tribe's feasting up.

Coffee Machine Prints Customers' Faces On Lattes
This Taiwanese cafe brings you the latest innovation in foam art.
Who wants a wishy-washy heart on their latte foam when they can have their own faces printed on their morning beverage?
Lets Caffe is a Taiwanese coffee chain that serves lattes with photos of customers' faces directly printed on their latte foam. Customers have to submit photos of themselves and the image goes into the coffee machine that reproduces the photo beautifully with coffee or cocoa powder. Lets Caffe introduced this innovative coffee printer in a bid to attract customers from big chain coffee houses.
This might be a tad too narcissistic for some people's morning cup but it's definitely a fun twist on traditional latte art. And it's a great way to attract customers!
Do you think New York's coffee connoisseurs would accept this latte art printer? Would it work at your local coffee place?

#1: Hair Like Sister's?
This may be a silly question, but I'm doing a long transition, but can't wait to see what my hair will look like! My sister who is 3 years younger than I am cut her hair last year, so I'm wondering if my hair will probably look like hers? Will you necessarily have hair like your sister's or close to it or can it be very very different?

SwimJim Family,
Below are several of our articles that can be found in our monthly newsletter. If you would like to be added to our E-mail list, please send an E-mail to email@example.com and place "E-mail List" in the subject line.
Have a great holiday and we hope to hear from you soon!
SwimJim, Inc.
The events of the past year have created a high level of stress for many people. Holiday time can be stressful in the best of years and maybe more so now. Stress in our lives activates our fight or flight mechanisms causing the release of adrenaline in the body but often without a way to use it. Over time this leaves us feeling fatigued and depleted. Getting a good amount of rest can help relieve the effects of stress but unfortunately high levels of stress often make it difficult to sleep. We may find that we can't let our minds slow down at the end of the day or if we are able to go to sleep easily we may wake during the night with a busy mind and be unable to go back to sleep. The harder we try the more elusive sleep becomes in a vicious circle that finds us increasingly tired and more stressed. Exercise is an important ingredient in a routine to relieve stress. Through regular exercise our bodies are able to process and reduce the high levels of adrenaline, relieving tension and aiding in more restful sleep thus breaking the cycle of stress and fatigue. Swimming is an excellent full body exercise activity that strengthens and stretches while providing fun and relaxation at the same time. These are all important elements in stress relief and can lead to improved sleep.
In addition to exercise, there are healthy sleep habits that can lead to more restful sleep, reducing stress levels. In our wired world we are no longer tied to our circadian rhythms linked to light and dark which establish natural sleep patterns. We can respect and help reestablish those rhythms through mimicking dusk at the end of the day. By dimming lights in rooms and on screens several hours before going to bed we allow our minds to process the slowing of the end of the day. It also helps to transition from the activity of day to the quiet of night before getting into bed. Try a pre sleep ritual to slow down. This might include a warm salt soak, lighting a candle for softer light and listening to soothing music in place of watching TV or staying on the computer until you are ready to hit the pillow. Creating a clean, quiet bedroom space that is separate from work space is also helpful. If you do wake during the night it is better to get up and go to another room, have a cup of tea or read quietly until you again feel sleepy.
Natural Rest offers an additional tool to aid in experiencing restorative sleep. Developed by veteran massage therapist Bonnie Stetson, Natural Rest is a therapeutic aromatherapy massage treatment designed to specifically address stress reduction and the connection to restorative sleep. Bonnie has created unique essential oil blends using the medical aromatherapy principle of the synergistic action of like oils that work through absorption and inhalation in concert with client tailored therapeutic hands on work to calm, ground and relax, creating a pre sleep state. A take away vial of the oil can be used at home for inhalation to reconnect to the massage state when preparing for sleep. Natural Rest also offers a blend of infused oils only for pregnant and nursing mothers. This massage technique can be a compliment to or an alternative to sleep aids. If you use a sleep aid be sure to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your current routine. If you would like more information about Natural Rest please contact Bonnie Stetson, LMT at 917-375-5435 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Sweet dreams.
No one will argue with the benefits of increased safety when learning to swim. However, the benefits of learning to swim with SwimJim expand far beyond the reach of just safety. Albeit, safety is our primary goal, we teach learn to swim through a modality that achieves so much more with regards to teaching positive attitude, self-discipline, tender self-soothing, goal setting and determination.
Whatever we engage our children in, if we bring a promise to getting them to practice, then part of the lesson begins through example alone. And with the commitment from the SwimJim staff to your children, through repetition and teaching focus on specific techniques, mind body awareness also improves, that includes spatial awareness and coordination; all of which will benefit your child in any activity they choose.
SwimJim chooses its staff and gears its entire program with precision to technique, commitment to excellence, and a dedication to focus always taught with a cheery disposition. These are all attributes that when used with gentle guidance to children at an early age influences the emotional growth and well being of its students years to come. Creating the path now and the foundation to commitment to excellence and dedication will serve your children in all endeavors years to come.
So when thinking about improving just safety alone with each lesson is very near-sighted. Every time you walk through SwimJim's doors you are improving a methodology of self-discipline and dedication to a goal, as well as teaching your child that all of that can be achieved while having fun.
Athletics and swimming are obviously an important part of your child's development. It improves coordination and language translation into kinesthetic movement. It boosts self-confidence and most importantly it teaches your child how to be safer in the water through safety skills and practice. But when a child achieves each milestone mark varies as much as the color blue.
Our classes at SwimJim are arranged in a manner that allows for children to be put in a level that is appropriate for their development however, still allows them the variance to learn from other children. Toddlers progress huge leaps and bounds in physical achievement the moment they see other children participating in actives that they want to do.
Any parent who has more than one child knows that often the second or third child will often progress in certain skills at a faster rate than their older sibling. Simply enough because the younger child looks up to and watches their older sibling's every move mimicking their movements and actions. Peer interaction can create the same response in friends or even strangers.
The curriculum is diverse enough whereas one child might be a better back floater and the other child might be a better breath holder and still a third might be better at gross motor movements. Put the toddlers together and certain skills that they once believed to be too difficult or scary is put into context just by watching the children around them.
Privates are available for a child with special needs, developmental delays, or simply needs more attention struggling through one certain skill, as well as the child whom excels extremely rapidly. However, always consider the benefits of the group lesson to teach the child peer socialization and growth through visual learning.
SwimJim offers privates and group lessons for all levels from babies to adults.
Overcoming the fear of water can be a daunting and difficult task. This is true for all ages however parents have the choice to make this an easier process for their children especially if the fear as actually their own. Now, it is true that some kids should come with a warning label and have no fear and can almost be mistaken for having a death wish. But more often than not children whom fear the water are really expressing the fear that parents have instilled in them. Fear is commonly and unconsciously taught to children by parents' actions, language and projections of their own fear.
We see in many classes parents who react to certain activities for example holding the child higher out of the water to keep their children's face away from the interface, or grabbing them quickly when they approach the wall, or even preventing submersions all together. The belief is to keep the child comfortable, which in turn is preventing the exact action we are trying to teach: children can be comfortable and safe in and under the water through baby swimming lessons, breath control, and awareness.
Parents must recognize if their own fear is effecting and playing a role in their child's development. Of course when teaching safety to children, comes teaching responsibility and a healthy respect for the pool, once that is established comfort and fun can be experienced while a parent can relax because they know their child is relaxed and safer in the water.
Allow your child to dunk underwater. Take a deep breath and blow bubbles simultaneously as you work with your baby. Your body will relax as so will your child's body. Give them the time to learn how to support their own weight as they are holding on to the wall. Allow them to climb out of the pool on their own by letting them struggle a bit with it at first. Carry your infant closer to the water's interface getting them comfortable with that sensation of the water around their face, ears, and mouth. Sometimes a parent's fear will diminish when you see your child feeling comfortable and having fun in the water as well.
Take pleasure in the lessons. The SwimJim staff is trained and knowledgeable, follow their actions and trust. But most of all relax and enjoy swimming with SwimJim is always supposed to be fun.

R.E.M. Debuts on April 5, 1980
Editor's Note: R.E.M.'s legendary debut was later dubbed the "60th Greatest Moment in Rock History" by Entertainment Weekly ahead of Elton John's U.S. debut, the Monkees debut, and the Beatles rooftop farewell. The church was later torn down, although the steeple still remains. I later heard Kathleen O'Brien bemusedly remark how her birthday was named such an event.
This article originally appeared as a four-part series in 2005 on athensmusic.net to mark the 25th anniversary of the event and the summer event in 2005 called "Athens Rewind" that was a reunion of sorts for the early music scene fans/participants. This article has been edited down to this version for 2011. - Jeff Montgomery
By Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.
It was 25 years ago today [April 5, 2005], when R.E.M. began to play.
"I really don't remember any interesting specificities, just a great, crazy time with lots of drunk people I didn't really know yet (and that was just the band!)," emailed bass player Mike Mills from New Zealand.
I was a young boy from Iowa, hungry for the world, hanging out at O'Malley's (now Dial America [now part of the University of Georgia's medical partnership]) with my dad and a local Athens UGA journalism professor friend in Dan Kitchens. We stayed at his house on King Avenue.
April 5, 1980 did not seem like the day a rock band would set out to change the world, but they sure did. I came down from Iowa to check out the University of Georgia as a place to go to school. I am sure glad I did.
The occasion was the birthday for Kathleen "K.O." O'Brien (now married) Layson. She was the catalyst for this birthing of a band that did not even have a name yet. She was living at the church with roommates Peter Buck and Michael Stipe at the time of the event.
The following passages in italics were borrowed with permission from the Rodger Lyle Brown book Party Out of Bounds, recently republished by everthemore books.
That night, April 5, 1980, it was O'Brien's party: for her and by her, she did it all. She wanted it to be big. She cleaned the house. She bolted the front doors and posted the sign "Enter in Rear." She told everybody about the party. She reserved the kegs. To make the party extra special she even got a fancy tap: lighted, fake wood grain fleur-de-lis-shaped Budweiser tap-putting down a bad check as deposit. And she got the bands to play.
I was bored by the wooden planks of the O'Malleys deck and severely bummed out by the fact I was too young to get in the bar. So I abandoned my father and his friend as they sat down and drank a couple of cold ones as I decided to check out the strangely compelling tunes coming from the former church on Oconee Street. I actually was afraid to go in at first, but something about the music made me want to peek in that party.
I walked over there to check it out as I heard the strains of something sounding like the Monkees being filtered through the Sex Pistols. Turns out, that is exactly what it was: "I'm not your stepping stone."
The scene was littered with the usual party refuse: beer cans, 12-pack packages, bricks, rocks, et cetera. You had to climb around the side of the former St. Mary's Episcopal Church to check out the bash.
There were lots of holes in the floor and floor boards worn bare. The sanctuary stage back area was entered through a hole in the closet. The drugs of choice seemed to be keg beer and assorted other kinds of alcohol and cigarettes, but there was plenty of acid, pot and a preponderance of other substances being consumed by the college kids there.
Other musicians involved in the entertainment that evening included deejay Kurt Wood and The Side Effects, with drummer Paul Butchart. Many thousands later claimed to be there, when in fact maybe a couple of hundred people did filter in and out of this birthday bash.'
I asked author Rodger Lyle Brown of Party Out of Bounds some questions about the event and his book, and the subsequent impact.
The set list and whether or not the four lads had a proper name remain the most often questioned particulars of the legendary first gig a quarter century ago.
The World Wide Web supplied a supposed set list via [Australia] that goes something like this:
According to the fully revised and updated Marcus Gray book It Crawled From The South, singer Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck agreed that the band worked up "between 15 and 18 songs" for the birthday party performance.
More than half were covers, paying tribute to the influences of the day ranging from the Rolling Stones to the Velvet Underground and the Sex Pistols along with Bucks encyclopedic knowledge of punk rock singles and obscure slabs of wax from the 1960s.
For a bands first performance to create early versions of songs they would still be playing a decade later is pretty phenomenal and amazing for such a nascent troupe. "Just a Touch" (which ended up on Lifes Rich Pageant) and "Narrator" (which was later recorded by the Hindu Love Gods, featuring Bryan Cook from Time Toy and R.E.M. minus Stipe) were two examples of this early magic. "Lisa Says" and several of the other songs made it to the widely heard later Tyrones O.C. (Old Chameleon) bootlegs in cassette, vinyl and CD form.

Thanks & Blessings,
Hi there, I have a similar revolver, with a 3" barrel and fixed sights. I bought it back in autumn 2001 from a used gun store put up by a Israeli here in Oslo. The revolver was part of a batch consisting of Taurus and Rossi revolvers, all with 3" barrels, imported from Israel. The Taurus revolvers all had conical barrels like mine, while the Rossi's sported heavy barrels. All of the revolvers showed signs of holster wear. According to the importer the revolvers was bought from Mossad. If this is correct I assume they might have been used for training purposes or air marshal duties. My revolver is not among the better ones of the batch, as the ones in good condition was sold while I was waiting for my purchase permit from the police. The crown of the extractor is quite worn, and I am wondering if an extractor from a S&W kit gun would be interchangeable.I enclosed some pic's of the gun and on the last one it's posing with it's big brother my S&W 36-1.
Best regards from Oslo.
Concrete, if you would like to sell your Taurus 94 .22 LR, please let me know, or if you hear of another for sale in the USA, please let me know.
Thanks & Blessings,
This was resurrected so I doubt the guy is going to notice since he posted two months ago.
Congrats on a GREAT find!
That is 1 good looking revolver!
I have the model 94!

MEMBER: Kentucky Regulators Gun Club
I just baught a 6 shot revolver it is stainless with a wood grip it also has the bull logo. I was looking for one on here that was for sale, to see if i paid too much for it. I am new to buying guns and i'm not real good at prices. I paid 200.00 for mine with the leather holster. I'm getting ready to take it out back and see how it shoots. I plan on buying a lot more guns. Im hooked.

Stainless would be correct. Know the 94 for over 25 years now.

In this talk we introduce Curvature – an interactive visual orchestration tool for applications on OpenStack. We also describe Donabe – a recursive container service – and how both can be leveraged in conjunction to create and deploy recursively stackable application topologies from virtual machine images and Quantum networking components.
Curvature's approach to service deployment allows the user to define a workload at a higher level of abstraction than current deployment tools. Users draw their desired application topology on a canvas using a toolset of Quantum L2/L3 components and virtual machine images. This topology can then be deployed onto a running OpenStack environment at the click of a button – with Curvature handling all of the orchestration necessary for provisioning the workload, i.e. the Quantum networks and Nova VMs. We demonstrate this design and deployment workflow in real time on a live OpenStack environment using real- world use cases.
This talk showcases Curvature's functionality both with and without Donabe to demonstrate how these services will radically change the user experience of cloud application deployment.

The cops call it an accident but Kinsey differs. Look at his life! A lot of people hated him, from much-abused wives, to drug dealers out big money, to the families of five people he killed driving drunk. In short, Daggett wasn't popular.
Don't miss the other titles in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mystery Series.
©1987 Sue Grafton; (P)1993 Books on Tape
"A heads-up delight." (Detroit News)
New Fan
"Love Kinsey Millhone"
These stories are always great. They pull you in and don't let go until it's over. Look forward to the next one.
"love the book"
I couldn't stop listening to it had it done less than a day. great book.
Follow me on Goodreads too!
"D is for: Don't Read My Review"
…not because I didn't like the book – I liked it a lot - but because my review won't tell you anything about the story.
If you are already a fan, you don't need my help; you already know the series is great.
I am driving through the last few titles I haven't read to get caught up with the series: K, S, A, T, C, Q, U, L, N, V, M, R, J, I, P, A (again), B, and D done. E, F, G, H, and O to go!
W is already on pre-order.
"D is for "dud""
As a fan of Sue Grafton's alphabet series -- particularly the later books read by Judy Kaye -- I consider this one a waste of time and money. The story is a snore, and I was ready to quit long before I learned "who dunnit." I stuck with it and was not rewarded for my efforts. Mary Peiffer's wooden, ho-hum reading doesn't help.
"Another Entertaining Millhone detective story"
If you have liked any of the other Kinsey Millhone detective series, you will like this one too.
The plot follows a pretty standard detective novel format but the subplots of the secondary characters keep the story interesting.
Yes, similair and easy to listen to.
It isn't a sob story and it isn't a side-splitting laugher either. It is just a pleasant not too violent story.
"Satisfying and entertaining!"
This is exactly the kind of book that I hope to find in the audiobook format: complex, but not too complicated to follow while I wash dishes or fold clothes.
The conclusion is amazing!
I think that Mary Peiffer sounds like the voice I hear in my head for Kinsey when I'm reading the books.
The most moving parts for me are the parts of the story that are about Kinsey's personal life.
This is a very satisfying, sad and funny mystery. Sue Grafton comes through once again!

Really? Trib columnist, Tom Fulks, is giving up tens of thousands of dollars of "political consulting" work, just to continue to write his "unpaid" column? I mean, Huh?
TO: Stephanie Finucane, Opinion Editor, The Tribune
Hello Stephanie,
I'm researching a story, and I just have a quick question for Tom Fulks, but I don't see a contact email for him in the tag line of his columns, so, I'm hoping that you would be so kind to forward this email to him.
Thank you! : -)
- - - - - - -
Hello Tom,
I'm researching a story, and I just have a quick question regarding one of your recent columns, at this link:
... where you write:
"The last time I was paid by (Supervisor) Gibson for campaign consulting work was June 2014."
I'm just curious: 2014 was the last time Supervisor Gibson ran for office, and, if he decides to run again, he'll likely be firing up his 2018 campaign sometime in 2017.
Now, as I've shown in my past reporting, for example, at this link:
... when Supervisor Gibson campaigns, his campaign pays you tens of thousands of dollars to be his "evil genius in the back room" (his phrase)/"political consultant."
Additionally, in his latest campaign filing, Supervisor Hill, in just the past few months, paid his "consultant," and your friend/colleague, Paul Hughes, of poliARC, more than $40,000 -- almost twice the amount of all contributions the Hill campaign received for that statement ["Monetary Contributions: $28,434.98"] -- with tens of thousands more from previous Hill statements going to your counterpart, Paul Hughes.
So, with all those huge stacks of cash in mind, I'm a little confused: When you write, "The last time I was paid by (Supervisor) Gibson for campaign consulting work was June 2014," are you saying that you have now somehow retired from your job as a "political consultant," and will now, for future elections, be giving up those huge stacks of cash that you are paid for your "political consulting" work, in order to continue to write your "unpaid" column for the Trib, or, when/IF Supervisor Gibson fires up his campaign next year, will you be giving up the Trib column in order to get paid the tens of thousands of dollars again by the Gibson campaign?
Trib Opinion page editor, Stephanie Finucane has hinted to me that you can't do both, understandably.
So, again, just curious: Next year, IF Supervisor Gibson fires up his campaign, will you be giving up the tens of thousands of dollars that he normally pays you for campaign "consulting" work, in order to continue to write your "unpaid" column for the Trib?
As always, much thanks,
Oh, and P.S: As usual, this email posted to my blog, SewerWatch, at this link:
Thanks again.

Homefront Ultimate Edition Invading This Year
Written Tuesday, January 10, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
THQ has added Homefront Ultimate Edition to its release schedule for this year, listing the title for launch at the end of this current quarter, which ends on March 31st.
There's no information pertaining to the Homefront Ultimate Edition, but it'd be safe to assume that it'll be a GOTY-style bundle with the game and all of its DLC released to date. That's The Rock and Fire Sale map packs, which add several new environments for multiplayer, including the Alcatraz map.
Homefront was one of 2011's new IPs, and we actually rather liked it, despite an all too brief single-player campaign. A sequel, imaginatively titled Homefront 2 is currently in development at Crytek, following the closure of original developer Kaos Studios, earlier in the year. Homefront 2 is slated for launch during fiscal year 2014.

text: 32 years of waiting for a tag all came to an end Tuesday morning. We drove 7 hours to get our zone and arrived at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, by 4:30 a.m. we had found a vacant site and began to set up camp. By 5:30 we were done and off scouting for the start on Monday. We only found one young bull on Sat. and not a lot of rut sign. Sunday brought rain and wind but around 9:00 we found a little honey hole between to cut off slopes, there we saw a young bull with velvet still clinging to the rack but also saw a cow and better bull. This was by far the best area we had come across and would be our starting area on Monday. Monday arrived with continued rain and wind but we were out and ready. With those conditions it was extremely hard to hear or be heard but we soon had a grunting bull on the way. I called a few more times and heard him coming for an opening...he step out and it was a yearling bull with barely visible nubs, but a great start to our day. we saw another cow and yearling and my cousin saw a young bull and two cows, all from a 300-500yd stretch in the valley. Not wanting to burn it out we left for the day to search other areas but didn't raise another grunt or see another moose. Tuesday arrives, yup still rain and wind, but we were back at the valley crossing. I called from legal shooting time, about 6:00 a.m. until 7:30. It was impossible to hear without the breaks in the wind. I was calling and raking a sapling with a paddle on my last series before I was heading for another spot. As I was about to leave my spotter saw this bull step into a logging road about a 100 yds from where I had been calling, but was now 300 yds from my position. These long shot are not something we practice here in the east as there is simply very little need for them...until now! I held on the top of the shoulder blade and fired, the bull hunched up indicating a good hit, headed for the woods but then turned and started back the way he had come out, I fired a second shot which resulted in him dropping directly in the logging road. He measures 49" inches across and weighed in at 906 field dressed. Very happy to say the least. Tenderloin tonight! Hope everybody enjoys a successful season.

/// Big Sprint Investor Favors Dish Network's Bid
April 16, 2013 | All Things Digital
Dish Network Corp.'s $25.5 billion bid for Sprint Nextel Corp. offers more value to shareholders than the wireless company's original deal with Japan's Softbank Corp., Sprint investor Paulson & Co. said Tuesday. The comments by Sprint's fourth-largest shareholder give a boost to Dish, which lodged its unsolicited cash-and-stock offer Monday. The satellite-television operator is looking to expand its offerings to include mobile-phone service at a time when the pay-television market is reaching a saturation point.

This brings back amazing memories.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Just thought you should know.
I've listened to this glorious music dozens of times, and it's high time I write a review of it.
I am a lifelong Mario fan. My first video game ever was Super Mario World and ever since my imagination has been captured. To this day I consider Super Mario World one of the best games I ever played, and I still play it on a regular basis.
This piece could not possibly be more respectful and more nurturing of its source material. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you took a chance and placed your stamp on a classic video game piece. It extracts everything that made the original so good and puts it through an amplifier, making it utterly fantastic.
I get depressed when I sift through the Audio Portal and am unable to come away impressed with the music I find, especially when I see reviews which are glowing, yet undeservedly so. Then I remember this piece. I am fully comfortable saying that is is one of the best songs on Newgrounds and one of the best video game remakes I ever heard. You make the Mario fan inside me giddy.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
ok .
this is the best Mario song i herd yet :+> keep it up

Fun Fact
I think BlueXephos has this song in his iTunes. He mentioned a "Super Mario World Monstrous Turtles" in one of his podcasts (having to do with songs in his iTunes), and frankly, I can't blame him. This song shouts "epic evil music." I love it, it kind of brings back some fond memories of Super Mario World for me (that's the first video game I actually ever owned). Good job!

Sometimes I hear West Indians complaining that African Americans are too lazy.In other words they don't get with the American Dream program.My first reaction to that comment is to wonder,Uncle Tom aside, why anyone group of people, that has been so badly treated by this superficial dream, would want to have anything to do with such an absurd idea in the first place.There are 27 amendments to the constitution and I fail to see any reference to the notion that one must work.The unemployment rate is only 5% and a good many of those are actively looking for work.I think unemployment rate is far too low.Surely it would be much more healthy for the working man, if twice that number never even bothered to get out of bed,except to eat and have a drink,a toke and a hit.Not only would there be much more opportunity,less competition for work,but our overall ecological footprint would be considerably less.The unemployed are less likely to have cars,less likely to shop and in some cases may eat less,especially meat since it is so much more expensive.If less people worked then salaries would have to go up.
We would have to let more Mexicans slip across the border.Should I care if my restaurant food is prepared by Mexicans or if my house is built by Jamaicans?If they want to do all the work that nobody else wants to do,then let them do it.What do all of the free marketeers think about that?Instead of this we build walls to stop the Mexicans getting into the US and forget that we were deeply critical of the Berlin wall which stopped people getting out.Then people complain that American jobs are being stolen by persons who actually want to work.
We complain that all our taxes are being sucked up by these welfare queens who lounge around having babies.I wonder if anyone noticed a windfall of money coming their way when Clinton's Welfare Bill came into effect.On the contrary they wanted to take union paying jobs away from one worker and give it to a welfare recipient at less than minimum wage. A single paragraph in the 35-page welfare overhaul proposal says that, "the federal minimum-wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act should not apply to people in 'welfare-to-work' jobs". So if you are working class and you have an ax to grind,take it somewhere else, cause all those lazy ass folks are an essential part of your economy.If you are working overtime, without being paid, out of some idea of self sacrifice, you are not doing your brothers any big favours,in fact you are by your heroic efforts pushing salaries down, undermining the economy,and the great labor efforts of people like Cesar Chavez and Lucy Parsons .
So let's have a big cheer for slackers for doing their universal duty.Ask your Representatives and Congress persons to pay them more money so they will not be inspired to get up and go to work.Let them not feel guilty about lying around and being shiftless.On the contrary,they should become the new heroes of our society,they should be lauded, The Worlds New Idle Men and Women of the 21st Century.
Back in the 19th century,before that dark chapter in our history called The Industrial Revolution, it was not considered decent by the aristocracy to work.If you worked you were shunned,as it implied that you did not have enough money to live excessively and flamboyantly without working.Now it is time for the working class to boycott work and let the aristocrats do their share,or shut up,and let us slip unempedded into the ozone.

Manufacturers are expecting a long summer as businesses that make everything from ice cream to crayons fret over potential production slowdowns stemming from the nuclear-free nation's loss of generation capacity.
A hot summer would usually be welcome news for Ezaki Glico, a major snack and ice cream maker. But looming power shortages could leave it unable to meet demand.
"If the temperature goes up very high this summer, and if the government asks us to cut electricity consumption a lot, our ice cream business will be seriously affected," an Ezaki Glico spokesman said.
"We may have to make more ice cream before" the power shortages peak, he added.
Two weeks after the last working nuclear reactor was shut down as a result of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, the energy-hungry nation is struggling to figure out how to bridge the gap. While the government has not yet issued a target for industrial power cuts, significant reductions appear certain and could reportedly climb as high as 20 percent in the Kansai region, which includes the commercial hubs of Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe.
The world's worst nuclear accident in a generation, sparked by a devastating quake and tsunami in March 2011, turned public sentiment against nuclear power, which supplied one-third of the import-dependent nation's electricity.
That has stoked a search for expensive alternatives, with utility Kansai Electric last month booking a $3 billion annual loss from reviving its mothballed thermal power plants, which burn fossil fuels.
To be fired up again, nuclear power stations must now pass computerized stress tests and gain consent from their host communities. And it is this last hurdle that is proving hardest to overcome.
Energy shortage fears are rippling across the nation, with Hiromasa Yonekura, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, repeatedly warning that the economy "would collapse" if none of the 50 viable reactors is restarted.
With the government reportedly set to seek a 20 percent reduction in power consumption in Kansai, some firms are worried.
When offices and factories in the region slashed power use by about 15 percent last summer, it proved barely doable for many, including Osaka-based crayon maker Sakura Color Products.
"We had a bare minimum of lights on while turning off about half of the computers and elevators at our offices," a spokesman said.
This year, the crayon producer is eyeing a variety of coping measures, including moving some production to China.
"We are considering producing more in advance or even shifting part of the production to our plant in Shanghai and importing back from there," the spokesman said. "Otherwise, we won't be able to cut as much as 20 percent of our power use."
Utilities in Hokkaido and Kyushu also fear they will struggle to provide enough power to keep the lights on as air conditioning gets cranked up during what may be a sweltering summer. The government is considering asking those regions to cut electricity use by about 10 percent, newspaper reports said.
Satoshi Osanai, economist at Daiwa Institute of Research, said domestic manufacturers who barely coped with the power crunch last summer may be in for an even tougher time as the mercury climbs over the next couple of months.

Stay with Japanese car!!(no Nissan) Of course every car has some kind problems, but the problem is that the pars of VW is overpriced and they broke easily.

"Nothing Personal," Eric Samuelsen's unrelenting dynamo of a play now receiving its world premiere by Plan-B Theatre Company, consistently contradicts its title.
When one person assaults another with unending questions, demeans another's dignity, undermines another's self-confidence, pushes the limits of endurance until personhood is threatened, how can that experience not become personal for both the torturer and the tortured?
The play takes off during the Clinton administration when Susan McDougal is imprisoned and placed in solitary confinement for contempt refusing to testify before prosecutor Kenneth Starr's Grand Jury investigating the Whitewater real-estate scandal.
The two never actually got the chance to confront one another, so the play becomes a psychological study of what happens when one person forcibly tries to impose his vision of truth and reality on another. As Kenneth says to Susan, "You've constructed a reality in which I serve as villain. I've constructed one in which you're an adulteress." These personal "truths" are mutually exclusive; one of them has to topple.
Director Jerry Rapier's staging reinforces the play's adversarial dynamic. Susan's cell is defined only by Jesse Portillo's atmospheric lighting, where day and darkness become almost indistinguishable. As the action intensifies, Kenneth invades Susan's space until the two eventually sit facing one another warily, like two exhausted combatants in a boxing ring. Cheryl Ann Cluff's sound design with its incessant beeps, siren blasts, throbbing bells, unintelligible voices, and loud music intensifies the paranoia.
One of the things that "Nothing Personal" does best is create a surreal world where like Susan our perception of what is real and what isn't becomes uncertain. To what extent is Susan actually subjected to physical torture and condemned as a terrorist and how much of her belief that this is happening is due to sleep deprivation and anxiety about her safety?
As the play progresses, we become increasingly disoriented; perhaps what we think is real is only an externalization of what's happening in Susan's mind, and does that make it any less real?
What is certain is that "Nothing Personal" offers some of the best performances we are likely to see this season. April Fossen's Susan is feisty and determined, wielding her ironic sense of humor as both weapon and defense. As her physical resources are increasingly taxed, she struggles poignantly to hold onto her sanity but never succumbs. Even at her most psychologically battered, she can say, "People do the best they can….We're just people." Kirt Bateman's self-righteous, arrogant Kenneth sees his mission to get Susan to confess as a moral imperative. He becomes almost obsessed with the sexual aspects of the case. His drive to preserve America from the moral rot he fears will overwhelm it eventually sputters and dies as he realizes, "America failed me. There isn't a hell hot enough to cleanse this nation." He becomes almost a tragic figure.
As the matron, Dee-Dee Darby-Duffin is implacable and enigmatic. Is she a voiceless torturer or merely someone doing a job? When she erupts into speaking in tongues, she looks like an avenging angel.
"Nothing Personal" emerges as a sometimes gritty, often eloquent exploration of the way personal identity and integrity are the victims when divergent points of view collide. Whatever you feel about torture, mutual respect is necessary if human beings are going to learn to live together.
'Nothing Personal'
Plan B Theatre Company takes a mesmerizing look at the consequences when one person tries to impose his vision on another.

What error are you getting cause I can't help unless I know what the problem is
ali_siddique said
I downloaded this framework and it's really cool. But showing some error in admin panel. And i want to know which framework used in theme options and it is nice .
Hey, download the "develop" branch as that's the branch I'm working on at the moment, everything in there should work. The entire framework is custom built so there is no existing framework being used in it
For now it's still in development so I'm waiting till its been approved as TF compatible 'till I write up all the docs cause things are liable to change, but I will write up full docs when it's done
All custom, no options framework
Do a MVP of the design in photoshop before you touch code so you can get an idea of the UI/UX, else you end up with an amalgamation of a site by the time you're finished. Don't be too religious with the design, though. So long as you have a decent idea of how things will work.
The framework is almost ready for beta testing, maybe a week or two away now! I have requested a staff reply to this post – I would be extremely interested to hear what ThemeForest thinks to this, and extremely appreciative to get their feedback as to what I need to change to make this TF-Compatible. Please check here! https://github.com/joemckie/horizon-framework/tree/develop

Hi Joe. I got the Incendio theme installed, but once activated it gets an entire screen of errors:
Warning: include(): Failed opening 'D:\xampp-portable\htdocs\wp\wp-tests/wp-content/themes/horizon/_theme/templates/portfolio/single-post//config/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;\xampp-portable\php\PEAR') in D:\xampp-portable\htdocs\wp\wp-tests\wp-content\themes\horizon\_horizon\horizon-core-hooks.php on line 69I am on localhost for now.
Hey, I just pushed a few more changes, can you get them? On first load you will need to save the admin panel once so that it saves styles etc, I think that is what is causing your errors
Check out the quick-start in the read-me too!
Make a class called "clearfix", and use the following code:
.clearfix:after {
content: '\0020';
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
visibility: hidden;
width: 0;
height: 0; }
.clearfix:after {
clear: both; }
.clearfix {
zoom: 1; }
Then use this class on the container div (in this case, the body tag) that contains the floated elements. It'll clear itself and you don't need to edit the container CSS.
Use this code :
/* You can also use a <br class="clear" /> to clear columns */
.clear {
clear: both;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
visibility: hidden;
width: 0;
height: 0;
and add a
just before the closing tag of the container.
I have just build a starter theme for the framework. This should make it a lot easier for people to pick up and start developing with it!
Here is the link again, https://github.com/joemckie/horizon-framework, have a play around with it!

I am still a noob WP developer, I don't understand and have no idea how to get this started, use what files, how do I get a sample theme I can get it working?
Hey, I'm working alongside a few other people to get a boilerplate theme set up at the moment. If you keep an eye out soon it should be released very soon
