Hello everyone!
My name is Chris and I just found this forum while doing some research on my next gun purchase (9mm semi-compact).
Some quick things about me:
1. I love all guns, but am partial to handguns.
2. I'm a recent college graduate and am studying to get into law school.
3. I'd rather watch a political debate than a football game, (but this might be because the Vikings are terrible this season).
4. I just got my permit and started carrying concealed a few weeks ago. I carry a Kimber Ultra II.
5. I love history.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Mayhem # 1633824
About MeI served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 5 years. After my service, I became a certified personal trainer and nutrition consultant. I was always interested in fitness and modeling; therefore, felt this was a great transition beyond the Marine Corps. I take great pride in continually growing personally and professionally. Due to a few military related injuries and a few surgeries later, I am constantly striving to improve and better my already muscular physique.
For personal reasons, I decided it was best to take a break from modeling as of 5/2012. This involved a move to Texas. Despite these changes, I have continued with personal training and improving upon my physique throughout this timeframe. I am now available for auditions and excited to return to one of my passions.
The best way to reach me is through this site. If we seem like a good fit, then I will give you another means to contact me. Thank you.
BIG thank you to everyone for all your messages of support and great comments on my photos!!!

Out of Stephen Coveys 7 habits. I see 4. "Think win-win" to being the most valuable.
what is an good example for his Think win-win habit?
How about this one?
I want to buy a new car that runs well, but I have an itch to buy a new one. If you need a car, but don't have much money, I'll sell you my car. It's a win-win situation. You get a reasonably-priced car that you need. I get some money for the car so that I can buy a new one.
Helping others is typically a "win-win" situation. Often others reciprocate, when you need help.
Even if they don't, you usually feel better about yourself, and may develop a sense of purpose or a feeling that you can make a positive difference.
By the way, just genuinely smiling at others can be "win-win." Usually it is returned. It can put both you and the others in a better mood.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

...Good for: Small animals, wall dives, underwater photography, drift diving, reef life and health, value-for-money and advanced divers...
...Not so good for: Wrecks and non-diving activities...
Manado is among the highlights of diving in Indonesia and has earned plaudits throughout the world. When you're scuba diving in Bunaken National Marine Park you'll witness some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world, with outstanding fish variety and world-class walls. The clear, warm waters contain astonishingly high numbers of species, whether corals, sponges or fish.
The park is located just out of Manado Bay in the Sulawesi Sea, off the northern tip of Sulawesi, and features some 2 dozen diving sites spread across an area of 75,000 hectares and the 5 islands of Bunaken, Siladen, Manado Tua, Montehage and Nain.
Explore the deep waters of Bunaken from your choice of dive resort and you can see 7 times more genera of coral than Hawaii, 33 species of butterflyfish and over 70% of all fish species known to the Indo-western Pacific.
Oceanic currents sweep past Bunaken Island bringing a steady supply of nutrients. It's a sure certainty that where there is plenty of food in the sea, there will be an abundance of marine life, and you can be here to witness this rich harvest too. From the smallest commensal shrimp to black tip reef sharks and eagle rays, there is something for everyone in this very special dive destination.
Manado is very popular with fun divers and marine biologists both of whom can take great pleasure from the diversity of coral and fish found here. You will surely encounter marine life here that you have not come across elsewhere.
The most notable recent find within the park was in 1997, when the coelacanth was discovered living in the lava tubes of Manado Tua. This 'living fossil' fish brought international media attention to Bunaken Island. Unusual mammals that can be seen include dugongs, which feed on the sea grass beds in the south of the park, and sperm whales, which travel through the area on their way to calve in the Sangihe Archipelago.
Black Rock - Dropping in over the slope of Batu Hitam near Manado you can be forgiven for thinking that not much lies in store. But you would be so wrong as this excellent site, also know as DJ Point, promises plenty of entertainment. If you or your dive guide have keen eyes you will encounter one critter after another. Commensal shrimps, emperor shrimps, decorator crabs and candy crabs can all reveal themselves after a little investigation. Show more
You will spend most of the time in and around a series of rocky patches where you are also likely to see cuttlefish, ribbon eels, cockatoo leaf fish and various pipefish. It is true that the Lembeh Strait has exceptional muck diving but if you want to see critters, this is surely one of the best places to find the small-but-perfectly-formed.
This is a site you are likely to visit on your return journey to your Manado dive resort from the islands in Bunaken and acts as a perfect complement to the reefs, walls and fish action you will have seen there. Manado's Black Rock often proves to be one of the favourite sites of many who visit.
Celah Celah - Located on the south side of Bunaken Island, this site lies just outside Liang Bay, which is a favoured spot for the local villagers to relax and entertain themselves. The curve of island protects the dive sites on the south side of the island, therefore the sea is usually calm above the surface. Below sea level, however, there is often a strong current running parallel to the reef setting you up for stunning drift dives. Show more
Celah means "crack" in Bahasa Indonesian and almost immediately after jumping into the water you will see why this site has the name it has. Deep walls are the common characteristic of Bunaken's underwater landscape and deep cracks are the main feature on this reef wall. Many of the fissures are wide enough to allow significant coral growth.
The vibrant health and sheer volume of gorgonians and sponges covering the wall make this a preferred site for many scuba divers, particularly photographers. Living among the mesmerising coral formations you will see myriad interesting creatures. From the shy and retiring pygmy seahorses and ghost pipefish to the deceptively ferocious appearance of giant morays and sea snakes. When the current is strong early in the morning look out for dogtooth tuna, and sometimes even eagle rays and blacktip sharks swooping against the ceiling of blue.
The current is not always running at Celah Celah and that is a perfect time to say 'Que sera sera' and instead, take your time to explore the intricacies of the marine life in the crevices of Bunaken Island. This would be a perfect opportunity to test your dive guide's knowledge by asking him to name the many nudibranchs you will find interspersed with harlequin shrimps. At these times you can marvel, at your leisure, at the sunlight streaming through the cracks in dazzling golden shafts.
Depan Kampung - Located in the south east section of the island and literally meaning "In front of the village", Depan Kampung offers quite a variety in underwater terrains. Show more
Starting your dive on the wall to the west, you can drift along at a healthy pace admiring the vast numbers of pretty pyramid butterflyfish, black damsels, and juvenile redtooth triggerfish. Neon and yellow dash fusiliers are scattered everywhere. Large black and white banded sea snakes slide up and down through the dendronephthya corals in search of easy pickings.
Round one of the jutting seams that split the reef and you may just startle a whitetip reef shark. Normally skittish and only occassionally inquisitive, the sharks may circle a few times if you have piqued their interest, otherwise they'll race off past the batfish into the depths.
About half way through the dive the wall gives way to a steep slope dominated by branching green cup corals and pink hydroids. Here there's always plenty of yellow margin triggerfish, gilded triggerfish and angelfish. Blue gilded angelfish, quite common at Bunaken, are always a pleasure to see with their luminous orange markings.
Time for your safety stop and time to slow things down a little. With some careful attention you could find leaf scorpionfish, many different nudibranchs, picasso tobies, and the photogenic razorfish.
Fukui Point - This site, on the west coast of Bunaken Island, always features highly on people's favourites list and is named, not as an insult to a visitor called Hughie, but after its Japanese discoverer who dived this spot some 20 years ago. Here, unlike most of the Bunaken diving locations, you will find not a wall but more of a slope with a few short, steep drops. Show more
Here you can find white-spotted moray eels peering out from their hideouts, and sailfin tangs elegantly raising their dorsal fins and soaring away. If there's a current running then you can expect to see thousands of red-tooth triggerfish, swarming low down and en-masse across the reef slope.
Since it is a cleaning station you are likely to run into all kinds of big fish. It's a perfect place to observe Napoleon wrasse having their parasites nibbled off as trevallys and large snappers line up for the same hygienic make over. Not only will the big fish show up here but you can also amuse yourself with the colony of garden eels or checkout the 5 hefty tridacna giant clams lying in a row.
Lekuan I, II & III - Whether a beginner or experienced diver, in daytime or at night, you will drop down here through calm and crystal clear water to the coral wall in front of Lekuan Beach on the south side of Bunaken Island, facing the city of Manado. The wall has 3 prongs imaginatively named I, II and III and is a very popular site for all levels due to the conditions and the variety of fish and turtles present. Show more
There are perhaps 10 green turtles on Lekuan I alone and some of the males are a very impressive size. You'll see them paddling by in the open ocean or resting under the many overhangs and ledges that mark this diving spot.
Legions of bump-headed parrotfish may charge past as you make your way to the wall where there lurk many lionfish and statuesque scorpionfish. Swarms of anthias at the reef edge will keep you entertained and there is every chance that the big lips of the humphead wrasse might cruise by to say hello.
The steep walls have tremendous coral growth, some massive green stands of black coral bushes, and, unless you are a real depth junkie, they will go down far beyond your maximum depth. Lekuan II in particular has very deep sections, and some interesting coves and shafts to cut across, in search of tuna and other pelagics. Scuba diving in the Bunaken National Marine Park makes for a fine memory if you are fortunate enough to visit it.
Mandolin Point - The origin of the name of this site in the south west of the island is unknown but some have suggested it is a reference to the number of 'strings' present here in the form of whip corals. Show more
Descending down alongside one of Bunaken's typically colourful walls you will soon realise that, in the 20-45m depth range, there are more single whips than your eye can take in. For depth chargers this is a good chance to get down into the 'narc zone'.
As a good diver you will want to avoid any unnecessary contact with the reef which here is like trying to snake through a maze of tripwires. Bigger stuff to see includes Maori wrasse, bumphead parrotfish (both the big green ones and blue-pink ones), mappa pufferfish and white-tip reef sharks. There is also no shortage of macro stuff to keep you amused with the whip corals playing host to commensal shrimps and whip gobies.
Later you will see the wall morphing into a mat of sponges and hard and soft corals over which the current will lead you. At this stage of your dive you can hunt around for porcelain crabs on bubble coral and gorgeous little candy crabs on soft corals. Mandolin Point is an unusual and continually stimulating spot and is unlike any other site in the diving haven of Bunaken.
Sachiko's Point - Sachiko's Point is located on the north-east side of Bunaken Island. This is the favourite dive of a Japanese tour agent, who was lucky enough to have the site named after her. Show more
Yet another example of Bunaken's great wall dives, you will witness an incredible variety of healthy coral and the marine life. The exposed position affords unforgettable drift dives along the wall that drops down from shallow waters to at least 40 metres. The shallows are characterised by vibrant coral growth with large gorgonians sprouting from the mid to low sections of the wall. There is more than enough depth for recreational scuba divers to revel in and there are some interesting caves in deeper water.
The strong current encourages larger pelagics, and bigger schools of fish are spotted here than on the south side of the island. It is very common to find yourself finning alongside a Napoleon wrasse as it searches for small fish and crustaceans among the corals. Schooling blue fin trevallies, easily recognised by their electric blue fins, accompanied by the powerful predator giant trevally, are also out for the hunting. Weighing up to 80 kg, the largest member of the Carangidae family impresses even the most experienced diver.
Green turtles feeding on the corals will keep you company during your safety stop and don't be surprised by blue spotted stingrays hiding in the crevices along the wall, ensuring you are entertained from the beginning to the very end of your dive.
Tanjung Kopi - Located on the east coast foothills of the spectacular volcanic island of Manado Tua, Tanjung Kopi is literally translated as "Coffee Point" but the reason for the name remains a mystery. However, one thing is for sure, the site is superb for the photographer. Both wide angle and macro lens can be used, so bring both along. Show more
The dive site's main feature is a sloping underwater plateau that descends from 5 to 30 metres, fringed with a vertical wall that drops off to over 80 metres. An experienced guide is essential for diving here, as entry at the correct point is critical. Currents can be very strong, so you'll want to drop in upstream and drift over to the plateau.
This is the ideal location in Bunaken to see the bigger fish species. Use a reef hook or find a suitable rock to hold onto, then just hang out and watch the action in the deeper water off the wall. Black tip reef sharks, dogtooth tunas, Napoleon fish, giant trevally, eagle rays and the occasional hammerhead shark all glide through the currents, seemingly without effort.
But equally Tanjung Kopi is famous for its schooling fish with hundreds of batfish, jacks and bigeye trevallies imitating each other in a single group. On the reef plateau, blacktail barracuda hang around at 7 metres deep feeding in the currents.
For lovers of macro life, reef fish and corals, there is something for all, as some of the best soft coral gardens at Manado Tua can be found on the southern reef top of Tanjung Kopi. Reef fish are in abundance and many surprises lie in store, from harlequin shrimps, boxer crabs, starry morays, ribbon eels, and nudibranchs of all shapes, sizes and colouration to mention just a few.
Amongst the most fascinating things about this dive site is the grandeur of Manado Tua Island itself. Being an extinct volcano, you can actually follow the outline of the centuries-old larva flows down to the water's edge, and imagine how the underwater topography was formed all those eons ago.
Bunaken Timur - Timur means 'East', and this is a very long reef - so long in fact you'll need to dive here more than once if you want to see it all. Show more
What you will see is an array of beautiful soft corals and leather corals in the shallows, and a 35 metre wall, trimmed with fine lilac lace coral. There is plenty to delight the eye here and you may spot several different types of nudibranch as well as plenty of bright butterflyfish, including the ever-present crowds of pyramid butterflyfish and the rarely seen zebra butterflyfish, and the odd green turtle meandering by.
It's not all small stuff here though and you could well run into a few sharks, rare dolphinfish cruising below, or schools of eagle rays gliding elegantly into the blue. There can be a current at this sie, so it is normally reserved for intermediate scuba divers. That said, it is not often difficult and is normally very rewarding, sometimes astoundingly so.
Apparently, a Dutch couple who were diving at Bunaken Timur came within 1 metre of 3 orcas (killer whales) - datsh amayshing!
You can enjoy Bunaken Island diving all year round but overall the best season for dive conditions are from March to October. November to late-February sometimes sees winds and rains so surface conditions can be occasionally rough with 1 or 2 metre swells at that time. Litter washed up from the mainland can also be a problem in rainy season too.
Water temperature (27-30°C) and visibility (20-35m) are pretty constant all year round. The rainy season of November to late February is less pronounced than at some other places in the region although showers are not unusual during this time. Visibility is reduced when it rains, more so around Manado bay sites than those at Bunaken.
Many creatures here are year round, such as the amazing array of giant clams and nudibranchs. Resident dugongs as well as barracuda and tuna appear throughout the year. June is a good months for sharks, July for dolphins and whales. Sperm whales migrate through the region to calf in the Sangihe region in March and July/August. This period also happens to be the time when homosapiens are present in the area in large numbers.
There are a lot of dive resorts around the area of a variety of standards, and not all are very good value for money. We recommend only those professional, well managed resorts that have high quality boats and dive staff, both on the Manado mainland and Bunaken Island itself. For more information on your options, and all the other travel information you might need to visit Indonesia, review our:
If you have time it really is worth seeing more of the North Sulawesi region. Consider adding a few days stay in the Lembeh Strait where you can enjoy the best macro diving and critters in the world. Lembeh is really a must for anyone visiting the area.
Review our maps below of Sulawesi, showing the location of Manado and Bunaken Island, and their host country Indonesia. Here, you will find information on how to get to Manado and Bunaken.

How the Stimulus Bill Affects You if You're Unemployed
Ask anyone who's ever been unemployed and they'll tell you that it seems as if our nation's unemployment laws were written by people who have never ever actually been unemployed. Sure, many of the benefits sound good until you start adding up the associated costs of those benefits.
Take COBRA, for example, which gives many unemployed people the right to stay on their employer's health-care plan for up to 18 months after leaving their job. We all read about how hard it is to get private health insurance, so that sounds like a great benefit, until you realize it could easily cost you and your family $1,000 a month in premium payments. When money isn't regularly flowing into your bank account, it's hard to imagine writing a large check each month for health-insurance coverage.
Another example: Your unemployment benefit–that check the state gives you each week–is taxable income. So the government writes you a check, then wants some of that money back. Ironic, isn't it?
The recently passed stimulus package, more formally known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, actually tries to make things financially easier for unemployed people. Among the changes:
- The first $2,400 of unemployment benefits are free from federal taxes. Depending on how your state calculates income tax, this money may also be free from state taxes, too.
- If you opt for COBRA health insurance coverage, the government will pay 65% of your health insurance premiums for the first 9 months you're on COBRA. This applies to workers who lost their jobs between Sept. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2009.
- If you could be covered under COBRA but declined coverage, you have a second chance to sign up. The deadline to do this is April 18, 2009, so contact your former employer, or their benefits administrator, immediately.
- People who apply for unemployment compensation on or before Jan. 1, 2010, will receive an additional $25 a week in benefits until their benefits are exhausted or until June 30, 2010, whichever comes first.
- If you are on Supplemental Security Income, you'll receive a one-time payment of $250.
- People who file for unemployment on or before Dec. 31, 2009, will get more weeks of coverage. Workers in states with an unemployment rate of more than 6% get an 33 additional weeks of unemployment benefits, and workers in other states get 20 additional weeks of unemployment benefits.
If you are unemployed, these changes may not completely ease your financial burden. But they will put more money into your pocket for a longer period of time, and they'll make it easier to obtain affordable health care. Pay attention to blogs like this, and the news and information from your state's unemployment office, because many of these temporary benefits may be extended or made permanent.

Thanks for exposing Jean's work. Where does she exhibit?
joyce cheney says:
Your prints are wonderful. You talked about slowing down. Producing 25 prints (and maybe you made even more than those shown here) doesn't sound slowed down at all; it sounds like an amazing body of work for a month!
Sean says:
So many small jewels! When's the gallery exhibit?
Gene Daniels says:
Very lovely work. An inspiration for all your viewers. Creating art in such hostile land requires a substantial effort to just begin. I enjoyed both parts of your presentation.

It's not uncommon for athletes to be drawn to cycling from another sport because of the perceived notion that it is a low-impact activity. Because of this, more and more people give up sports like running or tennis in favor of cycling to save their ailing joints.
While there is some validity to the belief that cycling does less damage to the cartilage in the knee because of the low level of impact involved, it doesn't mean that the sport doesn't present an opportunity for knee injuries.
Patellofemoral syndrome and patellar tendonitis are two common cycling-related injuries caused by overuse, weak muscles and improper bike fit. Both can make cycling nearly impossible.
More: How to Avoid Lower Back Pain While Cycling
Use these four tips to fix knee pain and make your cycling more enjoyable.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
The kneecap, or patella, is a floating bone that lies on the underside of the patella tendon. During movement, the patella tracks along a groove in the femur. When the undersurface of the kneecap tracks incorrectly, the cartilage on the patella and the femur can be worn away, causing pain.
The cause of incorrect tracking of the kneecap is likely due to one of two factors:
Weakness in the VMO
The VMO, or vastus medialis oblique, is the teardrop quadriceps muscle that runs along the inside of the thigh down towards the knee. In cycling, the vastus lateralis (quadriceps muscle on the outside of the thigh) often becomes overdeveloped, resulting in a muscular imbalance. The overpowering of the vastus lateralis can make the kneecap track too much towards the outside of the femur during pedaling, which in turn wears away the cartilage and causes pain.
More: 4 Yoga Poses to Prevent Cycling Injuries
The Fix: Stretch the lateral side of the leg with IT band and quadriceps stretches. Once you have gained flexibility, strengthen the VMO. Step-downs and short arc quadriceps exercises are two favorites.
Step Down: Stand sideways on a step. With one foot balancing on the step, lower your other leg toward the ground until your heel taps. Make sure to keep your hips level (concentrate on not dipping the hip on the lowering side, bending only at the knee) and your back straight. Start off with 10 repetitions on each leg and increase repetitions as your strength improves.
Short Arc Quad: Lying on your back, place a foam roller under your knee. Contract the quad so that your foot rises, making the leg straight. To isolate the VMO even more, rotate the foot slightly so that the toes point outward. Hold the contraction for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times. Once this exercise becomes easier, add ankle weights or hold the contraction for longer durations.

Happy Early St. Patty's Day!
Looky what I stumbled upon?
Sorry for the shitty pictures. Usually I use my normal camera instead of my phone since it takes less shitty pictures. Anyway, so far I don't hate it. It certainly tastes (and smells) stout-ish. The more I drink, the more I like. It's not as good as the original, but it certainly grows on you.
Maybe it's the 7.5% alcohol content?
***EDIT: Good lord. I've almost finished the whole thing and I feel funny. :D

I don't like it quite as much as the original either, but it's good. Ironically, I just stumbled-on this last night, and posted a pic to Facebook:

Former Aviva boss Andrew Moss is to return to the City for the first time since being ousted from the insurer two years ago.
Moss has joined Parker Fitzgerald, a London-based management consultancy whose clients include banks, insurers, asset managers and regulators, where he will chair the company's advisory board.
Reflecting on his time at Aviva, which ended after an embarrassing pay revolt at the company's annual meeting during the Shareholder Spring in 2012, he said today: "It was a fascinating few years and I'm delighted that we got through the financial crisis without having to raise capital or being downgraded. It was time to move on though and I learnt some lessons."
He added: "I had a number of conversations with different companies but this seemed like the right fit for me. The City of London is facing a number of regulatory challenges and it is my firm belief that boards are yet to fully appreciate the long-term impacts of new regulation on their business models."
As well as spending five years as Aviva's chief executive, Moss held senior roles at Lloyd's of London and HSBC.
He will continue to chair sports equipment specialist Rhino Rugby, which has been tipped for a stock market flotation over the next few years.
Scott Vincent, global managing partner at Parker Fitzgerald, said Moss will advise his company's senior management team on strategy, financial performance and risk management.
"I'm delighted Andrew has joined us. His market knowledge and insight will make him a hugely valuable addition to the firm," Vincent said.
"It is five years since Parker Fitzgerald launched and in that time we have achieved an incredibly strong foothold across the industry. We are now entering the next phase of development."Reuse content

Working for a wire service in Afghanistan is like being there for the brainstorming session, then publishing your notes.
It was in 2012, in post-earthquake Haiti, and Van den Brule, having worked in there for years, was brainstorming.
brainstorming, developing, and commercializing new ideas is vital for the American economy, and for our society at large.
Her favorite part of her job is brainstorming and then executing a show.
There are the Hooli brainstorming sessions conducted atop a seven-person conference bike (a la Google).
Rodenhouse typed "sensor-embedded nails" into a shared document while they were brainstorming.
And they were responsive, and that only bolstered my brainstorming sessions, so the next time I came in with more ideas.
Officially, this was a "brainstorming session," but everyone knew that it was all about getting the nod from Sammy.
A sudden idea, esp one that is apt and useful; a happy insight •Brainstorm was a medical term for ''mental explosion'' by the 1890s (1920s+)

A hardened crim held a bank manager hostage and finds out later she lives not far from him and becomes romantically involved...
Margaret: David:
The Town
Rated MA
Review by David Stratton
The working-class Boston suburb of Charlestown, only one square mile in size, has produced more bank and armoured-car robbers than any other part of the U.S. Doug MacRay, BEN AFFLECK, is one of them; he leads a gang of four that includes his unstable mate, Jem, JEREMY RENNER. During their latest bank robbery, they kidnap the young woman manager, Claire Keesey, REBECCA HALL, though they release her without harming her. Jem thinks they should keep an eye on her in case she goes to the FBI, and Doug, while observing her, gets to meet her. Meanwhile, an FBI team led by Frawley, JON HAMM, is on the track of Doug's gang.
THE TOWN proves that Ben Affleck's first feature as director, GONE BABY GONE, was no accident; he's obviously very good at this sort of tense urban thriller, and he's also an excellent director of actors - REBECCA HALL is especially good as the bank manager who finds herself falling in love with a man she hardly knows. The two robberies that book-end the film are superbly staged for maximum effect, and there are some tasty supporting performances, including PETE POSTLETHWAITE as Fergie, the florist who actually plans the robberies and who has had a major influence on Doug's life.
CHRIS COOPER is excellent, too, in the small role of Doug's imprisoned father. And JON HAMM makes the FBI agent a very rounded, and very nuanced, character. In lesser hands, the central relationship might not have worked; but Affleck and Hall make it completely believable, adding to the texture of this classy thriller. Maybe the ending is a bit contrived but by that time I was happy to go along with it.
Further comments
DAVID: Margaret?
MARGARET: Do you know, I enjoyed it but I felt I had seen this film a zillion times before and I felt that every step of the way I knew what was going to happen and it pretty much did. So there was a very conventional story in a lot of ways. Okay, will this guy be redeemed by the love of a good woman? Will Jem, the unstable character, muck everything up for everybody? Oh, gosh, where it's going. But I think what Affleck has done is gone, "Okay, I'm going to see if I can direct action," and he does it really well. That car chase through the narrow streets of Boston is really well staged.
DAVID: Look, I know what you're saying about the familiar material, but I'm fond of a good thriller and, sure, we...
MARGARET: But you've got to be thrilled by a thriller. You've got to go...
DAVID: No, I was...
MARGARET: ..."Oh, I don't know what's going to happen next," and...
DAVID: I was. If I may say, I was thrilled by this. I found it - I'm not sure that I always knew what was going to happen and I found it very tense at times. I think he builds the suspense well. I thought this was pretty good. I was very pleasantly surprised by it because, you're right, the basic material is familiar.
MARGARET: Yes.
DAVID: But he brings a freshness to it which I think is...
MARGARET: Well, I don't know that he does but...
DAVID: Well, I think he does.
MARGARET: What I thought was interesting, it's the first time I've seen John Hamm in a significant role after his success in MAD MEN and I think there is a leading man, if ever you saw one. You want - surely we're going to see him in bigger roles in the future.
DAVID: Probably.
MARGARET: And I wonder why - I don't think this has got anywhere near the subtext that GONE BABY GONE had.
DAVID: Different kind of story. It's not the same...
MARGARET: I think GONE BABY GONE is a much, much better film.
DAVID: It's probably a better film and it's a more interesting story.
MARGARET: And it's most probably got a better actor in the central role, too.
DAVID: I don't know that you can say that.
MARGARET: But he's a - look, he's a director.
DAVID: But it's different. It's like comparing apples and oranges. They're different kinds of stories.
MARGARET: Well, I don't know. You can say one film from a director is better than the other and I think his first one was definitely better than this one.
DAVID: I think this is just as well directed as GONE BABY GONE.
MARGARET: It's just not as interesting a film.
DAVID: You think.
MARGARET: Look, three and a half stars from me.
DAVID: I'm giving it four.

text: I have the drivers side rear bumper cover pushed in. All the info I can get so far is that an industrial heat gun is used to soften the plastic to make popping in back out a little easier. No body has offered advice on removal. I have already tried to get back in there with various objects to try and push but nothing works well. Has anyone tried to remove the complete bumper cover? Any feedback would be appreciated.


text: NIA will continue to support new investigators and to maintain an adequate number of competing RPGs. NIA is providing a 2 percent inflationary increase for non-competing and competing grants. In addition, the NIA has targeted a portion of the funds available for competing research project grants to support high priority projects outside of the payline, including awards to new investigators, and early stage investigators. The Institute also seeks to maintain a balance between solicitations issued to the extramural community in areas that need stimulation and funding made available to support investigator-initiated projects. Intramural Research and Research Management and Support receive modest increases to help offset the cost of pay and other increases.

In early May 2010, former Sentinel High School wide receiver Dylan Steigers took a hit during a scrimmage at Eastern Oregon University. Steigers remained on the ground for a moment before walking to the sideline under his own power. Minutes later he was vomiting. After being rushed to the emergency room, doctors diagnosed him with an acute subdural hematoma resulting from a concussion. Steigers, 21, died the next day.
Steigers' high school coach, Pete Joseph, later told a reporter, "[Steigers] was an exceptional, exceptional football talent. He played the game the way it should be played. He had excellent physical tools, he played the game hard, he played the game fast, and he loved football. He played the right way."
But according to Sen. Anders Blewett, D-Great Falls, "the right way" is exactly what needs re-evaluating. On Jan. 9, Blewett introduced SB 112, or "The Dylan Steigers Protection of Youth Athletes Act," which would require each school district "to adopt a policy addressing the dangers of concussions."
"We need to recalibrate the way we look at brain injuries in youth athletics," Blewett says. "When the brain is involved we want the message to be, 'get the help you need because you're rolling the dice on the rest of your life.'"
Specifically, the bill would work to educate athletic trainers, coaches and student athletes on brain injuries. It would require that "a youth athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion be removed from participation and that medical clearance be obtained prior to returning to participation."
Blewett's bill comes in the wake of mounting concerns over the effects of head injuries in professional sports. In recent years, more than 2,000 former NFL players have filed suit claiming the league withheld information about the risks of chronic brain injury. On Jan. 29 the NFL Players Association announced it would be giving Blewett's alma mater, Harvard University, a $100 million grant to study sports-related brain injuries.
Blewett was a placekicker at Harvard before returning to Montana to play arena football in Billings. "I love the sport of football. I love athletics—the lessons they teach," he says. "But I also recognize that we have the tools available to potentially save lives and reduce traumatic brain injuries."
On Feb. 2, 24 doctors, athletic trainers and coaches testified in favor of SB 112 before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee took no immediate action.
UPDATE: After this story went to press, the "Dylan Steigers Protection of Youth Athletes Act" passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It will next be debated on the floor of the Senate.
This story was updated Thu., Feb. 7.

Some of the best Boston Red Sox fans I know in Pierre have reason to smile today after their team clinched the American League East title on Friday night. They have 94 wins and 61 losses so far this season. The Minnesota Twins are 65-88; somehow I have managed to hear or watch parts of more wins than losses. My real team, the Milwaukee Brewers, is 68-85. Another team I follow, the Chicago Cubs, is 64-90. I have tracked the BoSox since the late 1960s, when left-fielder Carl Yastrzemski was my hero and I lost a nickel bet on the 1967 World Series to a schoolmate who was a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Those were the years after Milwaukee lost the Braves and Henry Aaron to Atlanta, and before Bud Selig led the drive to bring back baseball to County Stadium and to Wisconsin. We lived in a town of about 5,000, its economy dependent on union / factory jobs and on dairy, about 50 minutes by interstate from the stadium. The town's baseball field and Little League/softball field were across the street from the block where I lived. So I grew up with a love for baseball passed along by my mother and her mother and her step-father. I was painting the back of the house as I recall on the day I heard on the radio that the Braves were leaving. When the expansion Seattle Pilots finished 64-98 in 1969 and went bankrupt after their first season, the team was sold and moved to Milwaukee, re-christened the Brewers.
The altar boys of St. John the Baptist Church were bussed to an April game in 1970. It was cold. That is spring baseball outdoors. The popcorn boxes could be converted to megaphones and, if you closely looked, you could see how the white "Seattle Pilots" name was colored-over in blue to match the background and hide that they were leftovers. Milwaukee's new catcher was a fellow named Phil Roof and I went hoarse cheering for him — cheering because the chant "Roof-roof-roof" seemed so catchy. (We were kids.)
The Brewers marked the end of my brief stay as a Red Sox fan. I have always kept track of the Red Sox, however, because they seemed to always come up with some great players. When they went on their winning binge in the past decade, and cable TV constantly featured Boston-NYY games, they grew old on me. What they accomplished this season is still admirable. They were poised by the prognosticators to finish last in a very, very tough East. They finished first. And while I hold no such hopes for the Brewers or the Cubs any time soon, I do for the Twins, only because the Twins have shown an ability to come back from disasters and win World Series.
I won't be rooting for the Red Sox in the playoffs this post-season. I don't think I'll be rooting for any team in the playoffs this fall. There are some surprises and they all are worth following. But on this day, a hat-tip to the boys/young men/gray men throughout Pierre who have never been ashamed to wear those blue caps with the B. It's their day. For me, once again, it's wait 'til next year. But I'll always have Yaz, who by the way won the Triple Crown AFTER I became a fan — no bandwagon here!

Your Community Newspaper
West Valley View covers and delivers to Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson Arizona as well as unincorporated Maricopa County south of Northern Ave. and west of 83rd Ave.
The View covers events that occur and are of interest to the residents of our community. It covers: local businesses, local government, local school districts, Estrella Community College, high school sports, and provides a forum for ideas in editorials and letters to the editor. It also provides a marketplace for local businesses to advertise their goods and services. The View also helps to provide a leadership role for such causes as the two local food banks by sponsoring a food drive and the plight of homeless students with a clothing drive. It also provides information about other entities that host donation drives for local social causes.
The View is an independent, free, weekly newspaper. It was founded in 1986 by Elliott Freireich. In 2009 the newspaper moved into a 35,000 sq.ft. office/printing facility that houses a 12 unit newspaper web press which prints The View as well as other newspapers on a contract basis.
The View is mostly carrier delivered with a distribution of 75,474 (August 31, 2016).
The newspaper has won numerous state awards as well as international awards for editorial writing.
The West Valley View replaced the original newspaper serving Avondale/Goodyear which was known as the Westside Enterprise and later the Westsider. The View is not related to those publications other than it covers some of the same communities and that Freireich's parents were owners of the Enterprise for a couple of years in the 60's.
The five communities served by The View used to be farming communities, isolated from Phoenix by miles of 2 lane roads running through fields of cotton, produce and dairy farms. So much of the farmland has been replaced by subdivisions, that all the way from Buckeye to the east valley communities is filled with homes and shopping centers.
The growth has included some upscale subdivisions including Verrado in northeast Buckeye and the Villages in Litchfield Park. It also has led to new retail and entertainment centers including the University of Phoenix stadium which is home to the NFL's Cardinals, Jobing.com Arena which is home to the NHL's Coyotes and Westgate shopping center which features bars, restaurants and movies.

Hiking, Hanging out and Hilltops
https://www.dropbox.com/sc/q7v9thgtigy9751/eVV-MWlkxJ Your text to link here...
"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is the change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." Miriam Beard
Well we actually got some sleep on an overnight bus in Bolivia. We even actually made a connection with only 5 minutes to spare and we made it to Cococabana. Cococabana is our second kick at Lake Titicaca but this time on the Bolivian side. Cococabana is a small, hillside, basically tourist town but with a really nice laid back vibe. Lots of dreadlocks and hemp bracelets. Our hostel was a bit of a splurge that had been recommended to us. A beautiful french provincial old house sitting high up on the hiltop over looking the town and bay. Even though it was a hike straight up the hill at 4000 meters and our lungs were gasping for oxygen (still!) it was worth the grunt several times a day. We spent the next day and a half swinging in the hammocks overlooking the bay sipping cervesas and eating bags of peanuts from the little old Bolivian lady selling in the market. It was wonderful having the days to just hangout.
On our third day we went out to Isla de Sol. One of Bolivia's islands on Lake Titicaca. Isla de Sol is to us, really the gem of Titicaca; much nicer then any we had seen out of Puno, Peru. That morning it was pissing out rain and the water was very rough. We walked down to the dock and were really thinking was it worth it? There was whitecaps and driving rain but our hostel owner had asurred us that by the time we got to Isla de Sol, the sun would be out MAYBE no guarantees. So we sucked it up and climbed on to the leaky rather dilapated boat. Dale scoped for the lifejackets but had to settle for empty plastic gas containers. There were three and about eleven passengers. We sat right beside them. The boat was rocking forward and back as well as side to side and it reaked of toxic gasoline fumes. we sat with our heads sticking out the back so we could get even the littlest fresh air. We had to keep our eyes on the mountains behind us to keep from puking. We made it to isla de Sol only feeling slightly nauseous and were dropped off on the dock with map in hand. As forcasted the rain had stopped and the sun was starting to come out. We headed up the cobbled path past thatched stone houses with donkeys and pigs out front. Along the way on our 8 kilometer hike we were sharing the path with herds of sheep, pigs, cows and donkeys all coaxed along by alittle tradional ladies with a mean swift whack of their stick. we watched as tiny little women carried huge bundles of sticks on their backs to their mud houses. all wishing us "buenos dias." Thisis what wee had pictured the Lake Titicaca islands to be. We hiked the whole island that day ending at the ruins overlooking the lake not a cloud in the sky. When we arrived back in Cococabana we immediately headed to Km Zero which some fellow hiklers had told us had the best burgers in town. Dale was in heaven as he enjoyed every last mouthful of his ham, cheese, fried egg and avacado burger (as well as my fries too). We had been craving north american food.
The next day was our worry. We were trying to make it to Cusco. Originally we were going to take an overnight bus there but we were told that there was a blockade in Julliaca just outside of Puno. No one seemed to know when it was going to be taken down. We were told we would be driven to the outskirts of Julliaca then a guide would walk with us for an hour as we carried our packs through the city and then we would be picked up on the otherside by another bus. Somehow walking through the angry dark streets of Julliaca in the middle of the night didn't appeal to us, so we opted for a day bus. That morning when we got to where we were to be picked up there was some question as to whether the bus could even get close enough to Julliaca. We had a few tense moments as the call was made to see if the bus would run. Luckily for us they said it was a go; apparently the protesters were going to partially open the streets. When we did actually pass through Julliaca we witnessed huge boulders all over the main road which the bus had to dodge around and evidence of many fires on the road. It took a long time to get through the city as some main roads were still under blockade but we were very thankful to have made it through. The 9 hour bus ride we thought we were going to be on deposited us at the main station in Cusco 12 hours later. Ah...The joys of riding the busses.....

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – For the second time this season, the Northern Arizona soccer team will make a trip out to Las Vegas for this weekend's UNLV Rebel Classic beginning Friday. Despite three losses to open the 2012 campaign, the Lumberjacks are optimistic heading into the weekend which features matches against Florida Atlantic and Oklahoma at UNLV's Peter Johanna Memorial Field.
"The mentality is just picking ourselves up and supporting each other," said senior Georgia Foltz. "It sucks that we've lost, but we have to move on. Dwelling on the past two games wouldn't benefit us, so we have to pick each other up and go forward and tell ourselves, 'we have to get a win this weekend.' We're going to start with Florida Atlantic and take it one game at a time."
The Lumberjacks have struggled to open the season, but has played three quality opponents in UNLV, Arizona State and Arizona. In particular, NAU has started slow on the offensive side of the field as they have failed to score a goal in each of its first three games, while being outscored 9-0 thus far. Although the Lumberjacks have not notched a goal yet, the team has been efficient with its shots, placing 10 of its 23 total shots on goal for a 43.5% clip.
Freshman Haley Wingender has totaled a team-high five shots through the first three contests, with freshman Nicole Sherwin and sophomore Savannah Berry each right behind with four shot attempts. The trio of players, along with Foltz, have each placed two shots on goal.
"We're looking to put the ball in the back of the net and taking more opportunities in terms of our offensive production," said head coach Andre Luciano. "We've focused a ton on pattern-play and getting more into an offensive rhythm. We want to become the aggressor and not have to rely on having to come back from a goal down, so our focus to come out early and put pressure on our opponents."
Defensively, freshman Natalie Gilbertson has been solid against quality opposition to begin her career. Heading into this weekend's matches, Gilbertson leads the conference with 22 saves and is second in the Big Sky with 7.33 saves per game.
Florida Atlantic, the Lumberjacks' first opponent of the weekend, carries a 1-2 record into Friday's match after spending last weekend at the FGCU Embassy Suites Classic. After opening the FGCU Classic with a 7-0 loss to Illinois State, the Owls rebounded to claim their first victory of the season, 2-1 over Green Bay. Claire Emslie and Olivia MBala were named to the All-Tournament team for the Owls after playing big roles in the Owls' tourney split. Emslie, a freshman, in particular scored a goal and assisted on the other in FAU's win against Green Bay. Ellie Smith recorded the other goal in that game, while Ashley Lantes, the second-leading goalkeeper in terms of saves in school history, has 10 saves this season.
Oklahoma of the Big 12 is making its first road trip of the season after playing its first four games of the season at home. The Sooners, NAU's third foe this season from a power conference, is 2-1-1 thus far with wins over Nebraska and Nicholls State. Kelsey Devonshire, with her 0.91 goals against average, has been a big reason for the Sooners' strong start in 2012 as she's helped Oklahoma allow just one goal in each of their first four games. Renae Cuellar, a transfer from Arizona, leads the team with three goals and six points, including both of the team's goals in their season-opening victory over Nebraska two weeks ago. Kelly Price is second on the team with two goals and Samantha Howell has one to round out Oklahoma's scoring entering the weekend.
For the Lumberjacks, this weekend will only serve as more game experience for the young squad as they continue to improve as they get closer to the start of the conference season.
"We're a very young team and even though we still have a lot to learn, we've already come so far since the first day of preseason," Foltz said. "The scores of our games so far aren't pretty, but we've put up a battle and we've showed that we can compete with these teams. Despite the fact that we're still learning, we have a ton of potential and I'm confident that we're going to be great come time for Big Sky games."
NAU and Florida Atlantic have never met before in school history, while the Lumberjacks will be playing the Sooners for the second time. Oklahoma won the only other meeting back in 2001, shutting out NAU, 3-0, in Flagstaff.
The Lumberjacks will play the Owls at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and the Sooners at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Media Guide: The 2012 NAU Soccer media guide is now available. A PDF version can be accessed via the link above and it can also be viewed digitally here.
Pack the Jack: Last Friday's record attendance for the Arizona State game not only was the largest attendance at Lumberjack Stadium in school history, but it was ranked in the top-10 nationally for that night. The announced crowd of 2,207 was the ninth-largest soccer attendance in the nation that night, ahead of games hosted at schools such as Tennessee, Oklahoma State and Alabama.

Hansard, the official parliamentary report, gives only half the story. It records the words; it sometimes logs "interruption" if there's jeering (or even, as has happened, when someone lobs horse manure into the chamber) but it doesn't give the body language. It should. For example: "Mr Ed Balls (Morley) waved his hand up and down, to indicate 'don't have a heart attack, pal'."
Hansard reporters work in pairs, like the officers in American missile silos. The theory is that if one went mad and tried to launch a nuclear attack, the other could restrain him. No doubt the Hansard people are there to stop their partner hurling themselves over the railings out of sheer boredom. Anyhow, one of them could do the body language thing. "Ms Hazel Blears (Salford) gave a little wriggle of self-satisfaction" or "Mr Christopher Soames (Mid Sussex) went completely brick red."
On Thursday, the body language expert would have had a busy time looking at the last two soldiers still fighting the class war. First was Jacob Rees-Mogg (Somerset NE), who in a debate on Europe last month used the word "floccinaucinihilipilification " (esteeming something as worthless) entirely seriously, as in the phrase "and what part of 'floccinaucinihilipilification ' do you not understand?" It is almost invariably trotted out as the longest non-medical word in the language, but Rees-Mogg used it correctly, proving that an Eton education does have value beyond merely making you powerful and rich.
He uncoiled himself like a highly educated serpent. His mouth opened. This is often a mistake. As he himself admitted after a humiliating election in Scotland where he campaigned with his nanny: "I realised that whatever I was speaking about, the number of votes in my favour dropped as soon as I opened my mouth."
The voice – high, fluting yet saturated with a sense of command, honed by shouting "fag, toast my crumpets!" down long, ancient corridors – inquired whether Vince Cable agreed that countries with flexible labour laws had the best growth and those with the least flexible had the highest unemployment.
(Tories are obsessed with flexible labour laws, which is their way of saying "sack the lot when things get tricky". They point to the hellish conditions endured by citizens of countries with strict labour laws, such as France and Germany, where the pitiful workless scavenge the land looking for potato peelings, acorns, abandoned cars to sleep in, etc.)
Dennis Skinner, who entered the Commons 42 years ago, one month before Rees-Mogg's first birthday, did not speak. He did not need to. Instead, he deployed in his direction a mixture of rage, contempt and bitter resignation for which the Hansard notation "Mr Dennis Skinner (Bolsover) scowled" would not begin to do justice. Perhaps a simple "Mr Skinner registered floccinaucinihilipilification" would serve better.
As for Cable, the business secretary, he claimed to be delighted that his letter assailing the government for lacking vision had been leaked. Hansard: "Mr Vince Cable (Twickenham) laughed, but unconvincingly."

He WAS known as the Louisville Lip, but boxing legend Muhammad Ali is now no longer able to talk - amid growing concerns for his health.
Ali's daughter May has insisted the three-time world heavyweight champion is "fine".
But Roy Firestone, who has been a friend of Ali since the 1970s, confirmed: "It has been difficult.
"The saddest irony of all is that the guy who talked more often, now can't talk at all.
"I can't say he is doing great. It has been difficult. Don't believe he is doing terrific."
Ali's brother Rahman told at the weekend how the ex-boxer was close to death as he is losing his battle with Parkinson's disease.
Rahman said the former heavyweight champion no longer recognises him, saying: "It could be months, it could be days.
"I don't know if he'll last the summer. He's in God's hands."
But May May Ali hit back saying she talked to her father on Sunday morning on the phone and he was "fine".
May May said: "He's fine, in fact he was talking well this morning.
"These rumours pop up every once in a while but there's nothing to them."
Firestone, 59, wanted to talk about Ali to clear up the conflicting reports during his regular spot on Fox's Los Angeles news station Good LA show on Monday morning.
On Twitter, boxing trainer Shane McGuigan – son of champ Barry – was also concerned.
He said: "I've just been informed that 'The Greatest' Muhammad Ali is in a bad way. Before you sleep tonight, say a little prayer for him."
Ali's daughter posted a picture online of Ali watching the Super Bowl in the early hours of Monday.
The new image of Ali showed him holding his fists up in defiance and wearing a Baltimore Ravens jersey at his family home in Phoenix, where he watched the team's 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers with his wife Lonnie.
However, some fans noted he looked like he had lost weight since appearing at the London 2012 Olympics.
Ali's family spokesman Bob Gunnell insisted: "He looks great. He's having a Super Bowl Party".
Ali suffers from Parkinson's disease and celebrated his 71st birthday last month.
His brother Rahman also said at the weekend how Ali was "very sick".
He added: "It's best he goes now. The longer he goes on, so does his suffering and misery.
"He's going to heaven, there's no doubt. If his funeral was tomorrow, all the statesmen of the world would turn up.
"He touched everyone from the rich to the poor."
Ali's most recent public health scare was December, 2011, when the champion was taken to hospital after falling unconscious.
Fighting talk
I AM the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
IF you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologise.
FLOAT like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see.
HEY, Floyd – I seen you! Someday I'm gonna whup you! Don't you forget, I am the greatest!
IT'S just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
THAT all you got, George?

|Brief Summary
Cervical cancer is a public health problem. In term of frequency and mortality, it represents in Martinique the third localization the most frequently diagnosed and the fifth cause of death by cancer. Cervical cancer is recognized as viro-inducted. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the etiologic agent, as a necessary but not sufficient cause, in the cancer genesis. It is estimated than about 70 to 80% of women have been or will be infected with an HPV in their genital life, the risks factors being those of the others sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Most of HPV infection are transient, by spontaneous clearance in a few months of the virus under episomal form.
Carcinogen risk is related to viral persistency which inducts the condition of cellular transformation.
Infection persistency and subsequent carcinogen risk depend of the genotype concerned and of the host immunitary response.
HIV infection is known to be associated with an higher prevalency of one or several infection with HPV-HR.
However, no data about HIV/HPV coinfection prevalency are available nowadays in French overseas department of South America whereas they are the most affected by HIV.
