Oil and gas major BP has dismissed speculation about its future in Australia, declaring that it wants to be a ''major player'' in the local fuel market for the forseeable future.
Despite promising to sell $US10 billion worth of assets from its global portfolio over the next 22 months, BP ended months of speculation by saying it was ''fully committed'' to its Australian petrol stations and refineries.
The pledge to continue in Australia is a rare piece of good news for the local manufacturing industry, which was rocked on Monday when multinational Toyota said it would cease manufacturing here in 2017.
The retail fuel sector has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks since Shell said it had received expressions of interest from suitors for its Geelong refinery and parts of its marketing portfolio.
ExxonMobil also struck a deal with 7-Eleven in January to put the Mobil brand back on the service stations it sold three years ago, in a move that is partly designed to show the company is committed to the local downstream sector.
BP had been drawn into the speculation about the sector in recent weeks, but sought to put an end to the rumours on Monday.
''While BP does not usually comment on market rumour and speculation, the time is now right to dismiss the somewhat persistent claims that BP is considering the sale of its Australian downstream business,'' said a spokesman for the company.
''BP intends to remain a major player within the domestic fuels market and the company remains fully committed to its business partners and customers.''
BP owns about 300 service stations in Australia, and has its branding on a further 1000 that are externally operated.
It has fuel refineries at Kwinana in Western Australia and Bulwer Island in Queensland, as well as a substantial presence in upstream oil and gas.
Ironically the commitment to its downstream division came as BP confirmed the divestment of six petrol stations in rural NSW to long-time business partner Westoil Petroleum.
BP would not disclose the transaction price, but said the deal would allow BP to continue to supply fuels and have branding on the service stations, but would transfer management to Westoil.
The deal is expected to be finalised mid-year and affected staff will be able to join Westoil.
BP's commitment to its local downstream assets was welcomed by Colin Long from the Service Station Association.
''It's a very good thing to hear that one of the oil majors is committed to the future of refining in particular,'' he said.
Mr Long said it was particularly good news for the nation's western half given that the refinery at Kwinana was the only big refinery not on the east coast.

Good Luck Chuck
Dance music flavors come and go, but you've got to hand it to the dirty Dutch. Heading into the last quarter of 2011, clubs, radio, and your average frozen yogurt joint are all throbbing to the new sounds of Dutch house. The subgenre is instantly recognizable for its fast bpm and penchant for relentlessly crescendoing, minor-key, slightly squeaky synth lines -- oh, and its absolute ubiquity. In the wake of David Guetta's blasting of the boundaries between dance and urban music, Dutch house is slowly beginning to touch nearly every upbeat song on Top 40 radio. For much of this, credit Surinam-born, Netherlands-transplanted DJ Chuckie, one of the reigning kings of the scene alongside buddies such as Afrojack. He got his start DJing around the Hague as a teenager in the early '90s, and within the past several years, he has distinguished himself on an international level as a producer as well. If you don't know original stormers like "Let the Bass Kick" by name, you'll recognize them for their maddeningly earwig-ish instrumental melodies. At the same time, Chuckie has brought the Midas remix touch to a slew of white-hot names -- from Pendulum to Pitbull to Enrique Iglesias to Lil Jon -- while expanding into producing original tracks for others such as Chris Brown. Still, his roots are in the DJ booth, and that's where he'll be this Wednesday at LIV. With a super DJ and a super club, it's a match made in bottle-service heaven.

Going through a divorce often leaves people angry, in grief and filled with mixed emotions. It is a time of intense stress. Clients look to their attorney for answers, to fix the problems or punish the other party for hurtful conduct. Studies have shown that people going through high stress will have "brain chatter" which affects their ability to think clearly and rationally.
1. An attorney cannot give clients a guarantee of the outcome.
Although a client is upfront and honest with their attorney, or at least they should be, the situation that they are going through is based on their perception, which may not be the same perception of their spouse or even their attorney. It is important to understand that an attorney can only advise you as to what has happened in the past, with similar facts as presented to them to give the client an idea of what may happen in their particular case. If an attorney offers a guarantee of an outcome of your case, you should RUN as fast as you can, and find another attorney. Attorneys are not doing their job if they only tell the client, what the client wants to hear and not what the facts and the law establish.
2. The divorce process is not intended to be used to punish the wrong-doing spouse. Florida is a no-fault state, and that means that anyone can get divorced for any reason and there is no punitive decision based on the reason for the divorce. This is difficult for most people to grasp after they have been a stay at home parent with four (4) children for 15 years and now their spouse is having an affair...this does not matter in Florida, the Court will determine what is in the best interest of the children when ordering a time sharing plan for the parents and the children. Equitable distribution will not be based on who was the moral spouse, but on equity...fairness.
3. The attorney does not set the scheduling.There are certain rules of procedure (that differs in each jurisdiction) that needs to be followed, and the attorney cannot just unilaterally choose when a case is set for a hearing or a trial. This issue becomes extremely frustrating when a parent believes there is an emergency regarding time sharing that need to be heard by a judge immediately, more likely than not, this will not be considered an emergency by a judge, and the attorney should know that ahead of time. All parties must be noticed and able to participate in the scheduling of hearings, mediations, and trials.
4. The attorney does not serve the divorce petition.
Although the attorney is the one that writes the petition and other commencement documents/pleadings, they are not the one who serve them, it is the sheriff's office or a process server, and neither of them work for the attorney, they are hired by the attorney to do a service, like the cable man who repairs your television...no one has control over when they will come to your home. The attorney is as frustrated as the client when service cannot be perfected timely.
5. Family Law Attorneys and other areas of law and expertise.There are a lot of different areas of law that affect a divorce: tax, real estate, bankruptcy, dependency, etc. Although most attorney's practice in more than one area, no attorney can know all of the area' s of law and if they claim to do so, please understand that it is not possible. It is necessary from time to time to hire other professionals to ensure that you have the best Final Judgment possible, this may include attorneys from other practice areas, therapists, CPA's, etc. A good team makes a great final judgment for you and your family.
As an attorney, we understand the needs of our clients, and we do our best to ensure that their expectations are reasonable and attainable. We strive to do our very best to release the stress you are feeling, and be part of the solution for you and your children. We are your attorney's and your counselors, but we are not trained therapists, and it is our experience that a therapist can be a key player in a contested dissolution matter to assist in the reduction of stress, empowerment, self-worth and stability.

Leaf lettuce
All leaf lettuces (ones that grow in loose rosettes rather than heads) are great in salads, but 'Oak Leaf', 'Red Deer Tongue', and 'Red Sails' are especially pretty when tossed together. Fresh cut as baby greens, they're sweet and tender.
Plant in sun; part shade in hottest climates; all climate zones.
Nursery starts often have 2 or 3 plants to a cell. Tease them apart and plant separately for a bigger crop.

Seriously easy, just the ticket to hold the family hunger off until the main show starts and absolutely delicious!
I serve with maple syrup and chopped pecans...but you really don't need the chopped nuts these are great with just syrup!
You can mix up the dry ingredients ahead of time, store in a baggie and have them ready to go on Thanksgiving morning. The rest is pretty easy and YOU will be a STAR in your family's eyes!
Dry ingredients:
1/3 C. brown sugar
3 T. Cornstarch
1 ¼ cups self-rising flour
2 t. cinnamon
2 t. ground ginger
¼ t. ground cloves
¼ t. ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
2 eggs separated
1 C. whole milk (buttermilk if you have it)
1 T. lemon juice or vinegar (if using whole milk)
3 T. Melted Butter
1 C. Canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
Pre heat waffle iron.
Mix together all the dry ingredients. I use a whisk to make sure the spices are distributed evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the milk and lemon (not necessary if using buttermilk) and let rest while beating egg whites.
Beat egg whites until stiff.
Add the egg yolks, and canned pumpkin to the milk and beat until smooth. ( I just use a whisk for this)
Drizzle in the melted butter while whisking.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk just until incorporated…a few little lumps do not matter.
Fold in the egg whites.
Ladle into hot waffle iron and follow manufacturer's directions. (No waffle iron? Make pancakes!)

CNET Editors\' review by: CNET staff on August 22, 2011 SSuite Office is a free productivity suite that can go head-to-head with Microsoft\'s Office as well as other free and premium suites. It bundles a word processor, spreadsheet, PDF creator, e-mail, Web browser, and lots of extras. Many of its tools are fully compatible with other applications and file types, making it a viable alternative not just as a standalone suite but also in collaborative and business environments. We sampled SSuite Office\'s Excalibur Release. Like MS Office, SSuite Office has an extensive Start Menu folder filled with its various tools as well as subfolders for Games, General Utilities, Graphics, Multimedia, Network Utilities, and Security. The bundle also includes SSuite Personal Office, which consists of two lightweight apps, SpreadForm One and WordFormat Two. We opened the main word processor, WordGraph, created a document, and saved it as a Word .doc file that we subsequently opened in MS Word--a very good start. We could also save files in many other formats. Next we opened Accel Spreadsheet, created a file, and saved it as an Excel file. As with Word, the spreadsheet file opened normally in Excel--better still. Moving on to PDF Memo Creator, we created a file and saved it as a PDF. When we clicked it, it opened normally in Adobe Reader. By now, we\'re pretty much convinced. Netsurfer, the IE-based browser, seemed speedy enough; it\'s a nice extra, though not enough to displace our default browser. As for the other extras, these are simply too numerous to summarize, but we saw everything from a VoIP utility to a full suite of EZ graphics and photo tools to address books, briefcases, calendars, and much more. Help files were well illustrated with screenshots and even offered English and Afrikaans options. We were quite impressed with SSuite Office\'s Excalibur Release. Its main tools are compatible with the standard apps in use, and it bundles enough extras to run an entire business, or nearly so, which seems to be its objective. How it does it all for free is beyond us.

Profiting From Human Misery
Posted on Feb 17, 2013
By Chris Hedges
Marela, an undocumented immigrant in her 40s, stood outside the Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, N.J., on a chilly afternoon last week. She was there with a group of protesters who appear at the facility's gates every year on Ash Wednesday to decry the nation's immigration policy and conditions inside the center. She was there, she said, because of her friend Evelyn Obey.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
"She called me two days after she was seized," Marela told me in Spanish. "She was hysterical. She was crying. She was worried about her children. We could not visit her because we do not have legal documents. We helped her get a lawyer. Then we heard she was sick. Then we heard she died. She was buried in an unmarked grave. We did not go to her burial. We were too scared of being seized and detained."
The rally—about four dozen people, most from immigrant rights groups and local churches—was a flicker of consciousness in a nation that has yet to fully confront the totalitarian corporate forces arrayed against it. Several protesters in orange jumpsuits like those worn by inmates held signs reading: "I Want My Family Together," "No Human Being is Illegal," and "Education not Deportation."
"The people who run that prison make money off of human misery," said Diana Mejia, 47, an immigrant from Colombia who now has legal status, gesturing toward the old warehouse that now serves as the detention facility. As she spoke, a Catholic Worker band called the Filthy Rotten System belted out a protest song. A low-flying passenger jet, its red, green and white underbelly lights blinking in the night sky, rumbled overhead. Clergy walking amid the crowd marked the foreheads of participants with ashes to commemorate Ash Wednesday.

The majority of those we incarcerate in this country—and we incarcerate a quarter of the world's prison population—have never committed a violent crime. Eleven million undocumented immigrants face the possibility of imprisonment and deportation. President Barack Obama, outpacing George W. Bush, has deported more than 400,000 people since he took office. Families, once someone is seized, detained and deported, are thrown into crisis. Children come home from school and find they have lost their mothers or fathers. The small incomes that once sustained them are snuffed out. Those who remain behind often become destitute.
But human beings matter little in the corporate state. We myopically serve the rapacious appetites of those dedicated to exploitation and maximizing profit. And our corporate masters view prisons—as they do education, health care and war—as a business. The 320-bed Elizabeth Detention Center, which houses only men, is run by one of the largest operators and owners of for-profit prisons in the country, Corrections Corporation of America. CCA, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, has annual revenues in excess of $1.7 billion. An average of 81,384 inmates are in its facilities on any one day. This is a greater number, the American Civil Liberties Union points out in a 2011 report, "Banking on Bondage: Private Prisons and Mass Incarceration," than that held by the states of New York and New Jersey combined.
The for-profit prisons and their lobbyists in Washington and state capitals have successfully blocked immigration reform, have prevented a challenge to our draconian drug laws and are pushing through tougher detention policies. Locking up more and more human beings is the bedrock of the industry's profits. These corporations are the engines behind the explosion of our prison system. They are the reason we have spent $300 billion on new prisons since 1980. They are also the reason serious reform is impossible.
The United States, from 1970 to 2005, increased its prison population by about 700 percent, according to statistics gathered by the ACLU. The federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, the ACLU report notes, says that for-profit companies presently control about 18 percent of federal prisoners and 6.7 percent of all state prisoners. Private prisons account for nearly all of the new prisons built between 2000 and 2005. And nearly half of all immigrants detained by the federal government are shipped to for-profit prisons, according to Detention Watch Network.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which imprisons about 400,000 undocumented people a year, has an annual budget of more than $5 billion. ICE is planning to expand its operations by establishing several mega-detention centers, most run by private corporations, in states such as New Jersey, Texas, Florida, California and Illinois. Many of these private contractors are, not surprisingly, large campaign donors to "law and order" politicians including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
In CCA's annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission for 2011, cited by the ACLU, the prison company bluntly states its opposition to prison reform. "The demand for our facilities and services could be adversely affected by the relaxation of enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction or parole standards and sentencing practices or through the decriminalization of certain activities that are currently proscribed by criminal laws," it declares. CCA goes on to warn that "any changes with respect to drugs and controlled substances or illegal immigration" could "potentially [reduce] demand for correctional facilities," as would "mak[ing] more inmates eligible for early release based on good behavior," the adoption of "sentencing alternatives [that] ... could put some offenders on probation" and "reductions in crime rates."

Bilateral Müllerectomy (Eyelid Surgery) for Ptosis -Portland, OR
My procedure is scheduled for tomorrow and I...
Surgery done!
The day after
Thank goodness I am fully aware that things change.. because right after surgery my eyes looked quite asymmetrical. My h was also looking at it going...'er'....But, within hours my eyes looked much better. (It did worry me at first...that maybe my worst eye was going to stay looking as it had and the other one was going to look way open...but then I remembered the things I learned here...things like 'don't freak out'). Additionally, I have it on good authority that my surgeon is some sort of a genius...so I have an inner calm that goes with that!
Mine are under the lid sutures, so I guess I won't have the amount of bruising I have seen on other eyelid surgery photos here. (Though, it is only day one, so perhaps there is more bruising to come).
I would describe what I've felt mostly as mild discomfort..no big pain. One eye does feel like more happened to it than the other. I am enjoying rest with bad movies and two big cats. h is waiting on me.
My eyes didn't shut all the way,at first... but I was prepared for that and frozen pea bag with washrag shut out the light. Today they shut. Hooray.
No pain pills necessary. They did give me a rx for steroids, to control swelling.
I had this done lbecause my eyesight has been compromised (and I think I can already see much better--though right now, of course, everything is blurry and I don't like looking at things for very long). Any cosmetic benefits are going to be a by-product...but I think I can tell that this is going to look just fine.
All my life I've been told I have nice eyes, so when one went 'wonky' I was not happy about it...but I was also quite concerned about surgery that would make me come out looking altered.
Here are new photos. I did a side by side for comparison also. It is just day one...what do you think? better?? :)
Brief concern but now... happy!
My eye doctor sent me to the Casey Eye Institute for evaluation for ptosis. She told me to try to see Dr. Dailey because he is the BEST. Dailey's office will not volunteer before and after photos. I assume they would if you ask them. I elected NOT to ask, because I had great confidence in him from the start and I am aware that no doctor is ever going to show you anything bad anyway! Dailey seems more concerned with function than beauty....but it is clear, when you go to him, you will 'get both'! I chose Dailey for his reputation (which is stellar, my family doctor recommended him too). I'm super pleased with the outcome. I can't say what the cost is, as it was/is covered under insurance and I don't have all the details as yet.


text: I have a 96 Vw Jetta. I'm having problems with 4th gear. It shifts a little hard from 1st to 2nd, fine into 3rd, and will go into 4th. As soon as pressure is applied to the gas pedal to speed up, it slips out of 4th gear, (kinda like it won't downshift to 3rd). If you let off the gas pedal it will catch 4th again, but again if you apply any pressure to the pedal it will slip right back out. It used to be an intermittent problem but lately it does it all the time. Changed the wire harness, solenoid, TCM, and the plastic plugs in the valve body. When I recently replaced the TCM it seemed fine, but we had to drop the pan and fix a leak in the pan and ever since then the 4th gear issue has been an everyday occurance. We've tried scanning for codes, but haven't come up with anything on the tranny. It is NOT in limp mode. I'm on the verge of just taking a baseball bat to the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

blackening on carpet around baseboards
has anyone encountered a blackening on the perimeter of their carpets next to wall baseboards? My research indicates that the drywall behind the baseboard is not flush with the floor so the house "breathes" causing dust, and other filament to push its way into the crack between the floor and drywall which stains the carpet black. I guess the way to prevent this from happening is to fill the holes by pulling back the carpet and filling the crack with something. This leads to my questions. Has anyone ever attacked this project? What did you use to fill the space between the drywall and floor? thanks in advance. :)
If the space is small enough, caulking will work just fine.
I doubt the dirt is coming from under the base. What youre seeing is most likely "filtration soiling". Picture this.....
....Dust is in the air. It's blowing around the room all the time, sometimes so little you can't even see it. Dust is nothing but small dirt. When that dust hits the wall, it falls. After a while this dust has built up until you see a noticable darkening around theperimeter of the room.
Call some carpet cleaners. The keyword with this is Hot Water Extraction ie. steam cleaning. Some say they can't get it out. Some can. Find an IICRC certified cleaner. Let them know ahead of time what you have so they can't properly quote you.
If the dust were coming from under the base, I would expect it to be coming through the electric outlets, etc.
P.S. When I get to a job to install new carpet and I see the gully filled with caulk, I remove it. My job is to get the carpet properly tucked and that would just get in my way.
Although what you say does sound right, I wonder if it actually may be the reason.
We have TONS of dust and silt in this town, and 98% of the homesI see look just fine around the walls. But when I do run into the black lines, I pull back the carpet and will always see a huge gap where air is coming thru. I can actually feel it.
I would wonder just how long it would take for dust to "settle" along the walls.
I actually rarely see this happening, I usually see it all the time on steps, and I know for a fact that it is from air coming thru on the sides.
I just want to make sure you are positive on your opinion.
To settle that debate if it were only on outside walls it would be from filtration. If it occurs on the interior walls too it may be as Don described.
I only know enough to be dangerous. :)
I guess it would depend on the house but I suppose either could be the case. I know only judging from what I see in my area. We don't get much wind under our baseboard and when I see these lines it's alway dust settling.
I checked my home, and I really do not use the vacuume attachment along the walls. So I checked it a couple days ago, and after about a year of not cleaning it I noticed some grey dust and wife hair that cleaned up nicely with the attachment.
I would be afraid if it was black. that must be some dark dust or a Loooooong time passed without cleaning. :)
i got black around the edge of my white carpet only on the perimeter walls. I was on a slab. My carpet guy said it was mildew, but it came out each time we cleaned carpets. It would come back within a few months each time.
I have this same problem w/black around carpet, but also it's coming out from my electrical outlets. And it the black feels like almost greasey (like oil) maybe. PLEASE HELP!!!!
thanks donita
Hi New member,
a.) Please realize that you are responding to a post that is over 3 years old.
b.) That blackness, may be moisture/mold related. Check the areas for moisture and leaks.
if i decided to put new carpet in the entire house , would i have the same problem down the road?

Most AK brakes have left handed threads so you will have to turn to the right to take them off. If it still does not budge, it may be loctited so you should heat up the brake with a torch to break the loctite.

When I was a young teenager, I loved the STAR WARS trilogy. I lived and breathed it.
That gradually fell away, of course. I got older, more mature, and apart from that, I started critically thinking about those movies and realized that they're pretty darned silly when you get right down to it.
But only with the "prequel" trilogy's release did I come to realize HOW DUMB the mythology of these movies really is.
I took episodes II and III from the library this weekend and watched them. (I had seen I and II already: now I was rewatching II to prepare for III.) I knew I was not expecting good things. I just wanted to have finally seen them. The only things I expected to like were the action and the scenery depictions.
The things that suck:
- the so-called "science" (ship design, technology design, physics, etc.)
- the dialog (horrible!)
- the acting (horrible!)
- the plot
There must be a thousand things I've seen during these two movies that I groaned and thought, "How friggin' stupid!" about.
Let's see...
- Droids that talk to each other and say, "Roger roger!" to each other.
- Wookiees who attack by swinging from vines onto droid vehicles and literally doing the "Tarzan Yell"!! :rolleyes:
- Ships and vehicles that look like they were designed by Tim Burton, in terms of utility, feasibility, practicality and complexity. Just because they're not supposed to be of earth human design, do they have to be preposterous?
- Convenient ignoring of physical realities when it suits the plot.
- Droids that exhibit cowardice, which would have had to be deliberately programmed into them!
- Droids that actually GROAN when they are damaged in battle!
- Droids that say UH OH!
- Droids that QUIP.
- Droids that are reluctant to follow orders.
- An entire Jedi council that for all this time couldn't sense the immense power of the dark side in Palpatine.
- They have security video of just about everything, but no video of Palpatine putting on his hood and talking and conspiring with evildoers during the plotting of the emperor's rise to power. (You know, video of him having his hologram conversations.)
There is SO MUCH WRONG WITH THE EXECUTION OF THESE MOVIES.
What do you think? Other criticisms? Defenses?
Please hold off on the, "It's only a movie," defense. I know it is. But I've decided to discuss it as a movie. Within the context of knowing it's "only a movie." With that out of the way, isn't it a stupid one?

It is interesting, but it has the QA trigger. I'll stick with my P99c.
If I NEEDED a new carry gun, I'd check it out.
I want both and wish I had the money. When I can, I'm going to put 1000 in savings just for guns like this. serial numbers will be from PPS001 to PPS999. Be nice to have in anyone's collection.
I don't know about this one. It will have 3 different magazines and is design just for carry. I have the P99c AS. I would have to see how thin this one is before I give up on ammo.
Check them out at
It is interesting, but it has the QA trigger. I'll stick with my P99c.
If I NEEDED a new carry gun, I'd check it out.
It's not their QA system, it's the same system glock uses. I don't understand the three magazine 6, 7 and 8 rounds.
Actually, I have read at many places that it is the QA trigger - it just doesn't appear to have the decocker - the QA is about the same as the Glock trigger.
"TWO" new guns? I don't see any difference between the two, besides the badging.
The first one is the limited edition - The first 999 of the guns sold here in the US will have a nicer case and special markings.
The QA and Glock are similar. They are both precocked, single action striker fired pistols, but that is where the similarities end. At least until Walther started to using the split trigger on the P99 DAO and PPS. The internal systems however are very different.
The PPS is a QA, without the decocker. To decock the PPS, you only need to remove the back strap.
For my two cents worth, I have both P99 full size and the compact. After looking at the specs for the P99C and the PPS. I'm not that amazed at the PPS. PPS: L/H/W: 6.3"/4.4"/1.04". P99C: L/H/W: 6.6"/4.3"/1.3". Yes, it is a little shorter than P99C, but it is only .3 inches shorter. In height, they are about the same, difference of .1 inch. For the width, the PPS is .26 inches thinner than the P99C. In simple language; the PPS is about 1/4 inches shorter and thinner than the P99C. Yet, the P99C can hold 10 or 15 round magazine, recommend using mag extension on the full size mag. The PPS can hold up to eight rounds max.
My conclusion, the P99C might be a little bigger, but with two to seven more rounds of 9mm, I believe there is a bit more potental on the P99C than the PPS. I think, I'll keep my P99C.
Good Luck and good shooting
Yes, I finally got to see a PPS about a week ago - My Gander Mountain has #94 for $799. I have seen photos on the Walther forum of them laying next to each other. They are for all practical purposes THE same size - except for width.
Upon getting to hold it last weekend, I wasn't impressed enough to go buy one. MAYBE I might, if I didn't already have my P99c. But as stated above - since I DO have a P99c, buying this would get me nothing. I drop my P99c into the front of my cargo pants all the time. Sure, there is a bulge - but it could be anything in my pocket. If I bought the PPS, it would look like the same bulge.
I suppose if I wanted it for collection purposes - that would be fine.
But as it is, I don't shoot tiny guns that well at the range, compared to fullsize ones. I have 2 carry guns - a P99c and a Keltec 32. Those have me covered. Any money I spend after that are for range toys and home self defense guns.
What is all the differences in the P99? I notice alot of members talk about the P99 but reference QA and not? I mean what would look for to insure the they did'nt get a dud? For example I held the P22, which for me felt truly great in hand if I was to get a P99xx what would I look for? in comfort and feel? close to the P22 version or is there? What is the difference between the old edition and the new?
Go here for the explanation:
Walther P99 Trigger Systems
The P99 A/S is the fav among most P99 owners. It is DA/SA, but the SA is so sweet.
I'll take the PPS any day and i have already bought the P22 and it is the same dimensions thus you can practice with the p22 and carry the PPS.
since the same size - I had the p22 in my pocket and she didn't know it was there - so the PPS will be the same - can't see it in the relaxed fit jeans - and my cargo shorts have deeper pockets!!!
these threads have been interesting to me
the only thing i think i can add is that they made:
a single stack 9mm to fit more hands,
how many single stack 9mm are out there with these small dimensions - appears only kahr pm9 and keltec pf9 are smaller
designed expecially for CCW,
the length and height is the same as the glock 26! so if your hand is
just a bit smaller then, that person, would like a smaller single stack.
Also for CCW or backup:
who really needs that much capacity
spacedoggy wrote "I don't understand the three magazine 6, 7 and 8 rounds." they way I see it - they have made it easier for the customer based on his hand comfort and pinky finger comfort - small to large hands - also they beat the aftermarketers!
another thought i had on the PPS is
Q - How many single stack 40 cal pistols are out there?
i don't really know
I need to take a rest from this forum for awhile. I got to go to work.
breaking news
i read the web sight today and this thread and then went to the shootingrand while bsing around they showed me the P22 with the PPS
first edition frame!!!
why try to sell 999 first editions with that special frame and then let it out that that frame is going to be a standard for the P22!!
they said that S&W screwed it up by letting the cat out of the bag
then I said- walther shouldn't have shipped it across the ocean if they didn't want it out!

What are these black bugs on my dog?
I have a 5 year old chihuahua. She has these random black bugs on her. They crawl, and are too big to be fleas, but they arn't ticks. I think they might be biting me too, since my dog sleeps in my bed I've been getting bug bites. What are these things?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Depends. Flea season is in full swing in certain parts of the country and fleas can get really large. If they seem much too large to be fleas which are larger than normal, they could also be bedbugs, especially if you sleep together and have been getting bites.
Try taking a dead one to the vet for a quick ID. They can usually ID most bugs, as well as give you a way to get rid of them.

Bangalore, Mar 18 (UNI) Promising that Congress will protect the interests of the people of the state on Cauvery Issue, Senior Congress leader S M Krishna today said a 'fact report' will be sent to Center on the controversial Hogenakkal Project undertaken by Tamil Nadu Government.
Participating in a 'Meet the Press' programme jointly organised by Bangalore Press Club and Bangalore Reporters Guild here, he said the Project was part of a long history of conflict between the two states. "It is the responsibility of everybody to protect the interests of the people," he said.
Refusing to elaborate on the issue, he said the Congress in Karnataka would make an objective study on the controversial project and report it to the high command.
Mr Krishna, who recently demitted the office of the Governor of Maharashtra recently, criticised the 'narrow minded' political stand taken by Maharashtra Nava Nirman Samithi, which had targetted non-Maharashtra people recently.
"The Country belongs to everybody and no sensible people will subscribe to MNNS's call," he said.

After many years I decided that it is time to rewrite my Web site using Razor. A bit of history, I started it around 2003 using ASP.NET 1.1. When .NET 2.0 came around in 2005 I migrated to it and it was great being able to leverage features like MasterPages, Themes, Sitemaps, and many other features. Honestly it is a pretty simple Web site, with mostly content, so very few controls, Sitemap, my own custom Menu control, and a couple more. Last week it was moved to use .NET 4.0 and it feels its about time to go back and update it a bit, both in look and features. So this (if time permits) will be the first of a series of migration notes that I discover as I move it to use ASP.NET Razor (aka WebPages). Do note that this is not meant to be a best practice in anyway, I would never claim I can make such a thing, these will be only my personal notes as I discover more details in ASP.NET WebPages features and as I move my own implementation to use them.
So with that, one of the first things I faced during this migration, was the use of a Sitemap control (asp:SiteMapPath) in my MasterPage (future post about moving from MasterPages coming). I knew about Sitemap API, so I just decided to write a simple Sitemap helper that I can now use anywhere in Razor. The code is pretty simple, it basically generates an unordered list of links using
 and
 with  inside, and used CSS to layout them in a way that I liked.
SitemapPath Control in WebForms
The original code I was using in my MasterPage looked like the following:
<asp:SiteMapPath CssClass="HeaderText" runat="server" ID="siteMap" ShowToolTips="true" NodeStyle-ForeColor="White" CurrentNodeStyle-Font-Bold="true" />
And generated the following markup:
Home > Tools > Code Translator
Which looks like the following in the browser:
I used some CSS to set the color, and background and other stuff, but still to set the last item to bold required me to use a property in the Sitemap to get it to look the way I wanted.
My Sitemap Helper in Razor
Since I was familiar with the Sitemap API and my goal was to change as "little" as possible as part of this first migration, I decided to write a Sitemap helper that I can use in my Layout pages. The code in the Page is as simple as it gets, you just call @Helpers.Sitemap() and that's it (added the Div below to get some context in the markup, but that was already there with the SitemapPath control anyway):

This new helper version generates the markup below. I don't know about you, but I can sure make more sense of what it says, and I imagine Search Engines will as well, I decided to use more semantically correct markup using a  to signal navigational section and use a list of links.

Home >

Tools >

Code Translator

And it looks like the following in the browser (I decided to remove the underlining, and have more padding, and a new font, but all of that is CSS):
The Sitemap helper code
The code to do the Sitemap was pretty simple, just use the SiteMap API to get the current node. Since I'm picky and I wanted to generate the markup in the "right" order (note you could use CSS to float them to the right instead), I used a Stack to push the nodes while traversing them up. Finally just generate the
.
SiteMapNode currentNode = SiteMap.CurrentNode;

@if (currentNode != null)
// Push into a stack to reverse them
var node = currentNode;
var nodes = new Stack<SiteMapNode>();
while (node.ParentNode != null)
node = node.ParentNode;
while(nodes.Count != 0)
SiteMapNode n = nodes.Pop();

@n.Title >

To make it look the way I wanted I used the following CSS:
{ float:right; font-size:11px; color:White; display:inline; margin-top:3px; margin-bottom:3px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:10px; } .siteMap li,span { float:left; list-style-type:none; padding-left:5px; border-width:0px;} .siteMap span { font-weight:bold; } .siteMap a,a.Visited { color:White; text-decoration:none; }
SitemapPath control gives you a really easy way to put together a navigation control based on the Sitemap APIs (and the Web.Sitemap file in my case). Creating a simple ASP.NET Razor helper is actually pretty easy since all the functionality needed is there in the base API's and although it required some code (20 lines of code) now I feel like I have more control over my markup, can style it in anyway I want using CSS and have cleaner markup rendered.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but as I said, the goal of this first pass is to push my site soon with as little changes possible while keeping the same functionality first.

Poetry in Motion (Pictures), Part I
My brother used to refuse to go to any movie whose review used the words "panoramic," "poignant," or (worst of all) "poetic." Each, he thought, was code for boring. I have to say: I think he was right. What such language often implies is a kind of studied poeticism—as if the director is announcing his or her intention to try to be poetic.
Consider the clunky and oddly unaffecting opening shots of Gladiator. There, director Ridley Scott strains to create "poetic images" as if he is following an introductory writing text. "Use the 5 senses," it tells him—and so we get a sun-kissed field of wheat, the back of a hand brushing against the tallest stalks, barking dogs, their breath hanging like clouds in the air, etc. "Get on with the fighting," my son and I shouted at the screen. We had just begun Fight Fest (Gladiator, The Warrior, The Fighter, The Wrestler, Fight Club) and we had a lot of ground to cover.
Yet, for all the limitations of film as a medium through which to convey poetry—namely, the difficulty of creating the interior world of an individual consciousness (picture it: Prufrock: The Movie!), poetry has remained a popular choice of subject matter for the movies: Howl, Stevie (Smith), Il Postino, Bright Star, and Dead Poets Society are among the many films "about" poetry and poets. Ironically, these movies are almost completely devoid of poetry. Count, for example, the number of lines by Whitman relative to the number of close-ups of Robin Williams' twinkling eyes in Dead Poets Society.
Instead, I think films can capture the magic of poetry in more oblique ways—the swirling plastic bag at the end of American Beauty; the stunning, star-lit dome of the night sky in True Grit; the dozens of fascinating shots in Terrence Malick's Tree of Life, a movie that serves as a giant narrative mess, but which contains more original images than all the other movies I saw last year combined. In movies and in poetry I look for fresh imagery above all else—images that move us, taking us someplace we've never been before, even if that place exists inside ourselves.

Earlier today I posted about TimeDriver – an automated, time broker to help schedule one-on-one meetings – only to stumble upon a similar service called TimeBridge this afternoon. I told you there are a lot of time management sites out there.
Unlike TimeDriver, TimeBridge is a meeting negotiation product allowing for multi-person meetings and allows the attendees to vote on the best time to meet.
So how does it work? The organizer sends out several proposed times for a meeting, and the site will coordinate the replies of attendees until everyone agrees on a single time, at which point it will lock in the agreed-on time for everyone and release the tentative hold it had on the alternate spots. The interesting feature is the ability of attendees to flag a specific time as the "best" time for them, which the system considers a vote when identifying the meeting time.
TimeBridge does integrate with Outlook and includes a very handy "Reply with TimeBridge" option that it adds to Outlook if you install the add-on. If someone sends you an email about a meeting, you can use this option to transfer the discussion to the TimeBridge system. All this while syncing up with your Outlook calendar so is it aware of available times.

The Israel government has decided to confront issues related to misbehavior on the part of members of the Israel Defense Force(IDF) during the recent invasion of Gaza. An army source angrily commented: "we do not need NGOs and rights groups to tell us to investigate ourselves. we know how to investigate on our own and have been open all along to receiving additional material from peace groups." There is no doubt historically the IDF has been sensitive to violations of law by its members and willing to admit errors. The current investigation into fourteen cases of alleged abuses can only benefit Israel. There are allegations IDF soldiers looted Palestinian homes, beat prisoners and used Palestinians as human shields to avoid getting shot.
The good news is a decision by Israel's military leaders that in the future civilians will be warned about possible bombings and even provide information to them on the best way to get to safety. An open trial with information publicly shared is the best defense against accusations of human rights violations.
