My husband and my two kids decided to go to Florida for Disney World and happened to stay at Comfort Suites Maingate East. The staff was really friendly and they have a huge display in the lobby dedicated to awards and I could tell why. My kids are very picky eaters usually, but at the free continental breakfast, they ate everything on their plate! They had everything you could want for breakfast. They even had Mickey waffles! I was amazed by them having a place to purchase the tickets inside the lobby and free transportation there, which saved us at least 10 dollars and an hour wait in line. Their huge pool was even open 24 hours which was outstanding because most pools are not. We relaxed for a good couple of hours there before heading back to the room. My kids enjoyed their game room and I enjoyed their workout room as well. I am so happy that we stayed at this hotel and we are looking forward to it every year for future family vacations.

The hotel was easy to find and the pools were well maintained and there were restaurants with various options in the hotel. The lobby was clean and spacious and the check in staff was very friendly. \r \r The rooms were easy to find and spacious with a large bathroom and good views. Overall the room was clean and had a lot of information for guest to look through for eating and entertainment options. There was some dirt on the floor when we walked in but overall it was clean. There were a lot of pillows to choose from which was great for people who sleep in different positions.\r \r My biggest complaint was with the bathroom. The towels were clean and fluffy, overall it was clean and it was quite large. However, there was a hole in the door, the picture that was in the bathroom was over the light switch and too big for space it was in. The toilet ran and ran and only stopped when you jiggled the handle or removed the lid and fixed it. The light was inadequate and it was quite dark over the tub. The shower was different and difficult to manage. You had to turn on the shower, then push a black button to turn the warm water on for the shower. It took me two or three times before I figured it out.\r \r I would stay there again but do hope they do some repairs and updating to the rooms.

At Celebration Golf Club it's all about you! Since opening for play in 1996, Orlando golf hasn't been the same. We believe there is a difference between "playing" a golf course and "experiencing" the game of golf on a course that was inspired by its Old World legacy. Welcome to Celebration Golf Club, one of Orlando's premier golf facilities. It's here that you'll do more than play a course—you'll feel what it's like to play the final course co-designed by the renowned masters of golf course architecture, Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior. In designing Celebration Golf Club an Orlando golf course, their combined talents created a course unlike any other in the nation. It's lush, almost like a natural park with undulating swells and topography, a course reflective of the very best of every course they have created around the world. This design delivers a golfing experience that can challenge the pros and yet offer a rewarding time for juniors and those just learning the game. We call it Celebrating Golf at Every Level. As Robert Trent Jones put it like this, "With the beauty of the course, the design…everyone will have fun because it can be enjoyed here on many levels." Celebration Golf Club Orlando, FL has hosted events such as the U.S. Senior Open Qualifier, Robert Gamez Celebrity Invitational, Florida State Public Links Championship, Buick Scramble National Championships, and The Golf Channel's Drive, Chip and Putt Finals. Celebration Golf Club is located in Celebration, Florida embedded within the Orlando golf Resort area. We are just minutes from the Walt Disney World Resort and no more than 20 minutes from other major area attractions including: Sea World – 7 Miles, Discovery Cove – 7 miles, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure – 11 miles, the Orange Country Convention Center – 9 Miles, Orlando International Airport – 16 miles, Downtown Orlando – 17 miles. Whether you are coming on vacation or on your next corporate business trip, Celebration Golf Club's location has something to offer everyone. Orlando Golf at its Finest! Opened in 1996, Celebration Golf Club is the final collaboration between Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior. From the onset, their belief was that "every hole should be a hard par and an easy bogey." Using their joint design strategies and the natural lay of the land, they crafted an upscale daily-fee golf resort that takes full advantage of the natural pine forests and Florida wetlands. The course radiates an atmosphere of beautiful tranquility and fun but challenging golf. The layout is protectively framed by borders of native trees and natural wetlands and speckled with clusters of native oaks, pine and magnolia trees. Featuring strategic hazards and challenging greens, this championship caliber course demands accurate approach shots and consistent putting. With five sets of tees, the course now stretches from 4,933 to a new total yardage of 7,028 and invites competition from all skill levels. Eighteen distinctive holes with Champion Dwarf Bermuda greens, presenting a great deal of variety and wildlife throughout make this truly a must-play for every Central Florida golfer.

This hotel is a waste of money.

Also the housekeeping staff are lazy and they dont replenish anything including toilet paper or towels. The stores/restaurants are overly priced in comparison to the area and the cable is fuzzy. If you don't speak spanish you're going to have a hard time communicating with anyone that works here. The "5" pools are really just 2 somewhat medium sized and the rest are 6 feet across and 1 foot deep. Don't go here and waste your money.

This is the final installment in this series.
"They [homosexuals] must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
Two points I want to quickly make about unjust discrimination. But before I do that I want to mention that there is a such thing as just discrimination. Just discrimination is judging between two different things and treating those things differently as a matter of right and wrong. Opposition to same-sex "marriage" is a form of just discrimination because opposite-sex and same-sex relationships are fundamentally different and it does harm to both types of relationships to pretend that the difference doesn't exist. Marriage is wronged when one claims that same-sex relationships accomplish the same things as marriage, when it is always impossible for the two persons of the same-sex to accomplish the very purpose of marriage.
That being said, there are many forms of unjust discrimination against homosexuals that need to end. The first has been accomplished in repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. One's sexuality truly doesn't have anything to do with the skill set needed to defend our nation, and the discomfort of knowing that someone you live with on the front is homosexual doesn't justify refusal to receive them into the armed forces. With that being said, sexuality has very little to do with the skill sets of the vast majority of employment opportunities, so it is a work of justice to ensure that homosexuals are not denied work on the basis of their sexuality.
There are also other rights that truly belong to all people whether they are married, single, straight, or homosexual. Those rights include being able to choose who is able to visit you in the hospital. You hear stories about this gay man or that gay man being denied the right to visit his dying partner in a hospital somewhere. Whether these stories are true or not, I do not know, but all people should be able to choose who is and is not allowed to visit them when they are sick or dying and those wishes should be respected. A number of other things including last will and testament, joint banking, housing, etc. should not be restricted from homosexuals or any person for that matter. You should be able to open a joint bank account with whomever you like, whether it is your spouse, a same-sex partner, a roommate, a sibling, or a business partner. Parties have the right to control and combine their finances as they see fit.
I can't verify Church teaching on this, but I think it is safe to say that we should also oppose any move that would make homosexual behavior illegal in the privacy of one's home. The Catholic Church supports religious freedom and part of that means supporting someone's right to reject the Church. If two homosexuals want to have sex in their home, that should be their right
In the end it is important for people on both sides of the issue to remember that respect is a two-way street. If Catholics want to be respected by those who hold opposing views we must show respect for them, and vice-versa. There is much more common ground between us than there is opposition. We, as Catholics, specifically, need to see each person as Jesus sees them. We must look at others with compassion as Christ did when he saw the crowds. We must see first the imprint of the image of God on the person. We must remember that Jesus died for them too! WE must remember that we are all capable of responding to the grace of Christ and that we are all capable of committing grave sin. We must never stop loving. We must never stop giving of ourselves. Love covers all wrong doing. We must be the loving hands of Jesus, inviting ALL people to leave themselves behind and enter to the divine life of God.
The Gospel is a gospel of love. The commands of God are a lamp unto our feet.
Heavenly Father,
We pray for your blessing today as your people. We ask you to give us the grace to be a people of love, proclaiming your message of hope and redemption to all. We want to be your hands and your feet, calling sinners to repentance and joy through our example of humility. Let us see your face in every one that we meet today and every day.
We pray in a special way for all people who struggle with the cross of homosexuality. We don't pray the gay away, but pray for all to have the strength to live chastely and gradually grow in virtue and obtain Christian perfection.


text: 3RD Word Of The Day Challenge The "rules." For this installment, I opted to not go with the actual Dictionary.com word, which they have as igneous. Didn't resonate with me, so I looked to some of the lists that are there. I went through 4 groups, and happened upon absquatulate. How's that for a word? I has an easy meaning. Here's how the website defines it: Absquatulate [ab-skwoch–uh-leyt] verb (used without object), absquatulated, absquatulating. Slang. to flee; abscond: The old prospector absquatulated with our picks and shovel. Funky old word, ain't it? But, first, a word from our sponsor: As a grammatical rule, I have been taught that most two-syllable adjectives, when written in comparative or superlative form, would use "more" and "most," respectively. It would appear, however, there are exceptions. For instance; Stupid VS Stupider. I cringe when I see the word "stupider," as I've always known "more stupid" is the correct writing. By this article, I have been mistaken. Oh, well. Since each can be correct, I'll just go with how I use them and suffer others to use which one they wish. I'll still cringe, though. On with the show! Jesse decided he needed to leave town. His girlfriend had dumped him, his best friend basically disowned him. As it turned out, the two had found they got along better together than they did with him and had been running around behind his back. Jesse never saw it, though. His attention usually focused on trying to get something for nothing. He would steal from others and sell the…1 Comment

Remember Diljit Dosanjh and Badshah, who made that famous track called 'Proper Patola'? They are teaming up again for another banger. The name of the track is yet to be revealed but both artists seem to be excited about it and so are their fans. Diljit Dosanjh is now a movie star and has become a prominent singer in the industry as well as Bollywood and is known for hits like '5 Tara', 'Jaat Fire Karda', 'Ikk Kudi' and much more. Last year you saw him in 'Udta Punjab' which show cases the drug problems in Punjab and also won the Filmfare Award for the same. He is staring in an upcoming movie 'Phillauri' opposite Anushka Sharma which is set to release on 24th of March 2017. Busy being the new sensation in the country right now, Diljit is also judging a reality show on Colours called 'Rising Star'.
Badshah, on the other hand, has been busy composing and making hits for Bollywood. His track 'Kala Chasma' crossed 100 million views on YouTube and other tracks like 'The Humma Song', 'Tamma Tamma Again' 'Kar Gai Chull' are just a few to mention. Badshah has had a tight schedule the past month and the restless work schedule took its toll as he was admitted to the Hospital due to complaints of breathlessness. Right now, Badshah is busy with his shows and his reality show 'Dil Hai Hindustani'. But the best thing that happened for him this year was he became a father of a beautiful baby girl.
All things aside, both Badshah and Diljit found some time out of their packed schedules and are ready to collaborate again for their fans after 4 years. We wish both of them all the best for their collaboration, till then here is 'Proper Patola':

First and foremost, you need to know that I love these children. I love them, and I only ever want what is best for them. Their father and I plan our lives around them completely, without the distractions of working from home or frequently traveling for work. Our family is our first priority, and we have established our household with love, structure, discipline, and fun.
Next: perhaps you haven't realized this, but when you walked away from the kids' father and left them behind, you left the door wide open for someone else to walk in. That is a choice you made. My presence in the lives of our children is a natural consequence of your actions that day and your choices in the years that led up to it and the months that followed. Not to toot my own horn, but you're lucky it was me who tiptoed carefully through that door almost a year after you violently stormed out of it. Your ex-husband could have done a lot worse than someone who completely loves him and the children, is kind and thoughtful, has over 2 decades of childcare experience (including several years as a professional nanny), holds a graduate degree, has book smarts AND street smarts, and brings a loving and extremely supportive extended family into the mix. [toot, toot]
When you talk badly about your ex-husband, me, our extended family, or our friends to the children, you only hurt them. They come home from visits and talk to us about that. They cry in our arms. Just last month, they came home telling their dad that you told them he doesn't have a back injury and is faking it. We didn't tell them that you lied. We showed them the MRIs and doctors' notes. We talked to them about the chiropractic visits and natural pain management their dad uses to avoid using prescription pain medications so he can be present and active in their lives. We consistently have similar conversations after the kids visit you or talk to you, because you have tried to undermine the truth at every turn. We never disparage you or your family in front of the kids. We just don't. We know that's not healthy for the children. Please stop hurting them by disparaging us. Just stop. These kids are intelligent. We don't say anything about you unless we absolutely have to in response to their questions. We only speak the truth of ideas, situations, and events and join them in their joys and sorrows. You ought to know: these smart little girls are on to you, and we can only hold off their search for truth for so long to give you the chance to get your act together. Every day they realize a little more that you have lied to them.
I know the kids love you. Of course they do. You are their mother, and that will never change. I know that, and so does their father. However, once again, you created a space for me when you left; the children now consider me to be their parent, as well. They call me "Mom", "Mommy", "Momma", or even "Mum", if the mood strikes. They do this by their own choice. They asked me if they could. Acting jealous or shaming them for this only hurts your relationship with them. Please stop attacking me and be grateful there is another person in the lives of your children who loves them more than she loves life itself. They KNOW I love them. They know my family loves them. They feel loved by all 8 new aunts and uncles and 13 cousins. Their fourth set of grandparents (because your parents are divorced, too) dote on them and love to spend time with them. These kids KNOW they are loved and accepted in this family. They say all the time how much they love spending time with this family. Please stop trying to undermine that.
I know you love these kids. I'm just not sure they know it. When you lie to them, try to tell them they shouldn't call me "Mom" or enjoy spending time with my family, tell them that their dad and I lie to them... they feel used. They feel confused. They feel depressed. We have to make them call you most of the time, because they are afraid you will make them feel guilty or sad with your underhanded comments.
THIS. NEEDS. TO. STOP. We've tried to explain to them that you love them, but we cannot speak for you. We know you tell them you love them, but your actions speak louder than your words. Your actions are betraying your words.
I want you to be a part of the kids' lives. I've had too many friends who don't know their fathers or their mothers--friends whose childhoods were torn apart by divorce and selfish parents or step-parents. I know you were caught in the same trap. Many of my friends have found effective ways to move on in adulthood, but I still don't want that to be our children's fate. Please stop trying to repeat the painful cycles of your childhood with our children. I don't want our kids to have another obstacle to overcome in life. They've been through quite enough already. I'm begging you to move your focus from your pain and jealousy to the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of the children and their best interests. Many of your actions have been in direct opposition to the children's best interests, and that causes me great concern. Emotionally and physically abusing their father for years, assaulting him, attempting to cause an altercation with me in front of them, treating them like your best friends instead of your kids... Frankly, I'm quite sure you didn't consider the best interests of the children in any of those situations.
To be entirely honest, I'm not sure you are currently in your right mind. I don't know any parent in her right mind who would blatantly lie to her children and the court, try to ruin an honest person's reputation, or withhold court-ordered business income from the household where her children live approximately 80% of the time. It just doesn't make sense. These are not the actions of a rational, mentally healthy person. I know most people don't appreciate being called out on these actions, but I honestly believe that you can do better. I have a hard time believing these sweet children came from someone who would intentionally do these cruel things. I am asking you to please seek the help you need to understand and change your actions. There are so many available resources, and you are not alone.
The last thing I want you to know is that I'm not going anywhere. You have falsely accused my husband and me of all sorts of atrocities (including hurting the children and breaking up your "committed relationship"*); you have assaulted my husband and threatened me and our home; you have treated the children like pawns in your game; but you are NOT going to scare me away. I've waited to love my husband and children for years while you took your turn at it. I spent hours, days, and months working on myself and enjoying life while I searched for my heart's desire. I waited until the person and the timing were right. I have waited for these bright, beautiful, loving kids. I waited without knowing exactly who or what I was waiting for. Then suddenly, three beautiful, battered people burst into my life quite unexpectedly at what was probably not the most convenient time or place, and I wouldn't change that for anything. I gave up everything, sold most of what I had, and moved across the country for this family. I turned down career opportunities, quit jobs I rather enjoyed, and left behind people I loved for this little family you walked away from. I adore my husband, and I love these kids as though I birthed them myself. We don't do steps and halves in my family. Never have, and never will. Family is family, and matching DNA is not required. You can refuse to coordinate the children's schedule with me, refuse to acknowledge my presence in the lives of the children, and refuse to co-parent with my husband. You can, and you have. However, you cannot force me out of the children's lives, minds, or hearts any more than you can force them out of mine. And, since I'm being blunt, you might as well know that my heart is pretty inextricably tangled around their little fingers.

I am so confused on how to answer this question given from my instructor. I see many websites that pertain to present value. Is there an explanation somewhere on the internet that would help explain? I googled the question and found"Net present value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", and "NPV and IRR -- Measures for Evaluating Investments." The question given to us is:
Why is the present value of any future amount greater when the discount rate is lower?
Please help!

"One day in the wonderful land of Denduron..." a mysterious voice said. Charlie glanced around the room, stomping his hooves and glaring. "Are you KIDDING me? This place is everything BUT wonderful! How the heck did I get here in the first place?" He complained. "Fine. One day in the horrible land of Denduron..." the voice muttered. "Much better." "SHUT UP AND LET ME READ THE STINKIN SCRIPT!" The narrator screamed.
"Charlie..." Purple said. "Don't make the narrator mad." "I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!" Charlie screamed at his supposed-to-be grandpa and stormed out the door. Suddenly, 5 seconds later, Charlie was randomly struck by lightning! "They don't even have lightning in Denduron!" Press said. "Who the heck are you and when did you get here?" Charlie asked. "Heh heh heh...Purple warned you not to make me mad, I control the story. I can do anything!" The narrator boomed.
"Oh no!" Press exclaimed. "This must be one of Saint Dane's evil plots..." Press ripped open his shirt to reveal that he was wearing a superman costume that he had since he was 10. "Come, Krypto, we must defeat the evil Saint Dane!" Press suddenly flew off, leaving Charlie on the ground in pain and in much confusion. "What...the...heck..."
To make his day even worse, Pink and Purple began to skip by singing, "Charlie, you look so down, with your big fat eyes, and your big fat frown, the world doesn't have to be so-" "SHUT UP!" Charlie yelled. "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" He picked himself up off the ground and jumped up and down angrily. "It's always your fault! You always make my life miserable! I hate you guys!" Charlie slowly walked away, crying. "Pink...you made him emo." Purple said. "Nuh-uh, you did, Purple!" Pink and Purple got into a girly slap fight and started making horrible comebacks.
Another random character walked by and saw the two unicorns fighting like little kindergarteners. For his own amusement, he shot the two unicorns with his longbow and walked on, laughing evilly. As he walked into the trees, he sensed something was following him. Halt turned around to look, and he was suddenly ambushed by hundreds of little orange people. "Oh my gosh..." One of the orange people said. "Can it be..." another said. "He's short like us! Let's make him our leader!"
Without warning, the Oompa Loompas lifted the small man onto their shoulders and carried him off. "Put me down!" Halt cried and started throwing a tantrum. The Loompas took his longbow, so he couldn't do anything. As they finally disappeared into the deepest part of the forest, Halt's last words were, "C'mon, I'm not that freaking short!"

Premier Laser Clinic has been included in the G Directory in Glamour magazine which is seen as a beauty bible for Glamour's readers. The feature mentions the website and the phone number for Premier Laser. The theme was smooth-skin saviours – 'Once the laser has blasted every single hair, a cooling gel will soothe skin and within weeks you'll see a serious reduction in hair'.
If there's one lesson to be learned from celeb break-ups it's this: never get a tattoo of your significant other's name. Unless you've been married for a good five years. Premier Laser Clinic has confirmed what we always suspected to be true – that very, very few people are glad they got a tattoo of a boyfriend or girlfriend's name – by releasing a list of their top 10 most requested tattoo removals.
Tattoo removals are an increasing phenomena in modern tattooing, the ability to have some regrettable ink removed a welcome relief for a rising number of people. Tattoo removal company Premier Laser Clinic have recorded a 25% increase in tattoo removals over the past two years and have also compiled a list of the top 10 removed tattoos!
We all know celebrities are no strangers to a dodgy tattoo. We've seen everything from Dappy's hashtag, to the giant rose on Chezza's arse. Plus Katie Price, who literally slapped a huge cross on her arm to cover up Peter Andre's name.
But now Premier Laser Clinic has revealed the definitive list of the UK's most hated tattoos. These rubbish bits of ink are the ones that are most commonly removed, and we've found all the celebrities who sport the same terrible tatts.
The list, which is based on a whole five years of taboo tatts, found that the most hated tattoo was having your ex-lover's name inked on your body, as you'll inevitably end up breaking up with them. Elsewhere things like tattoo typos, barbed wire, fairies and celtic designs were listed as those most hated by the British public.
The stats show that more than half of people with three or more tattoos regret at least one of their designs.

Recently I acquired a lipstick and lip liner from Milani's Color Statement collection. These came out fairly recently, but I'm not entirely sure when. All I know is these lip products definitely feel nothing like a Walgreens purchase!
All pictures taken in front of a window, naturally lit, with no flash!
The lip liner is described as "matte fuchsia." It comes as your standard wooden lip pencil. I got the shade Fuchsia, a darkened pink that's similar to the lipstick, but just a tad darker. Similar to UD's Woodstock eyeshadow. The formula is just slightly dry, so I wouldn't recommend filling your entire lip with it... But you probably won't need extra opacity with this lipstick anyway!
The lipstick itself is described as a "true fuchsia vinyl." It comes in a lovely gold tube (that just happens to reflect me taking the picture of it) that comes off a little more elegant than the standard clear cap of drugstore lipsticks. The color itself is a true fuchsia/hot pink with a slight blue shift. The formulation is amazing for a drugstore lipstick. It's ridiculously opaque on the first swipe, and feels creamy and more similar to an expensive lipstick than a Milani one! It smells of a tropical watermelon candy scent, which I really liked about it.
Swatch time!
L-R: Milani Color Statement lip liner in Fuchsia, Color Statement lipstick in Flirty Fuchsia; swatched on bare skin.
Pictured: Milani Color Statement lipstick in Flirty Fuschia lined with Color Statement Fuchsia lip liner
Roundup time!
(all ratings are out of 5)
Staying Power: ♫♫♫♫
I didn't wear this for long, but it did last the 3 hours or so I needed it for. Definitely not slippery or overly creamy.
Value: ♫♫♫♫♫
The lipstick sells for $4.59 on Milani's website, while the liner sells for $3.99. This is amazing quality for the price.
Quality: ♫♫♫♫
One of the best feels of a lipstick I've ever seen. Perfect formulation, not too matte, not too shiny, not heavy on the lips.
Pigmentation: ♫♫♫♫♫
True to color on the packaging/lipstick bullet and extremely opaque.
Would I buy it again?: Indeed! I plan on getting Violet Volt and possibly D'Oro or one of the reds next time I see it in stores.
You can pick up these products at Milani's website, Walgreens, CVS, Target, and most other drugstores. Not all places that sell Milani sell these lipsticks, so don't bring unnecessary disappointment on yourself!
Bye dolls!

Knex Pocket-Handgun W/ Auto-lock Trigger (auto-lock Optional)
27 pieces of knex = 1 knex pocket-handgun. It may not be the most powerful knex weapon but it works. I hope you enjoy building and using the gun:) (my 1st instructable :) x2)(almost all pics have a note)
Step 1: The Parts You Need
27 pieces total (I'd recommend collecting all the pieces before you start but you can get the pieces as you need them)
gray w/ navy blue dotsx1
navy bluex1
small light blue spacerx3
gray endpiecex1
large gray spacerx5
note:sorry about the sideways pic, there wasn't enough room for it
to be horizontal.
gray w/ navy blue dotsx1
navy bluex1
small light blue spacerx3
gray endpiecex1
large gray spacerx5
note:sorry about the sideways pic, there wasn't enough room for it
to be horizontal.
Step 2: Now We Get to the Building
Now we get to the building. Get 2 yellow rods and 2 yellow connectors an snap them together like so.
Step 3: The Biggest Step in This Instructable
This is very difficult to explain and(metaphorically) would take an hour if I did. So just follow the picture
note:please don't comment this as being lazy because I'm telling
the truth!
note:please don't comment this as being lazy because I'm telling
the truth!
Step 4: The Mainframe
Next, snap the last 3 yellow connectors on the opposite end. Then add the other 2 orange connectors on the end so the rods can only have things on the end.
Step 5: The Firing Pin
Get a yellow rod & the gray connector, snap them together like shown below. Get 2 of the rubber bands, tie them to the gray end piece w/ any knot you want (I used a lark's head, it works!).
Step 6: Firing Pin + Mainframe
Now, you add on the pin. Stick the bar through the hole then get the rubber bands to try to pull the pin forward. (hang in there we're almost done!)
Step 7: A Helpful Support (optional)
see how there is no yellow rod on the gun in the first pic, but there is one on the second pic. That rod is just for support. You do not have to put it on (which F.Y.I. is difficult to put on) but I would recommend.
Step 8: Auto-lock Support (optional)
You see the pieces below, right? Just put them together, and you're done with that step.
Step 9: Putting It All Together
put the support on like so(it with be a snug fit but don't worry about that). Get the last rubber band and put it on the orange connector, bring it around the support, and put it back on the connector (if you don't understand me just look at the picture below)
Step 10: Firing
Fires black/green rods the best. Pull the firing pin until the trigger snaps down. Get what you're going to fire and put it down the barrel. When you're ready to fire pull the trigger down, and there you go, your own Knex Pocket-Handgun. Plz Enjoy
*not responsible for any injuries or bad stuff that happens while this gun is in use!*
*not responsible for any injuries or bad stuff that happens while this gun is in use!*
This is awesome. The absolute best knex gun I have ever seen.
cool i like your ingenuity of how little it is very good

p.s looks like halo 2 magnum
actually my gun folded up when i shot it
you dont need the spacers
the best one yet!!! i built it and in my instructable i will mention your name |<
What is your instructable called, I'll have to check it out?
you can just click on his name and youll see all his ibles... also: NOT NEW.
Did someone just repost this gun?
Ya, I edited a few things and entered it in the pocket-sized contest.
cheatz! jk.
kinda but it works seeing as the original post was not long after I joined, LOL! =)

auto cock how is it?
yeh how is it auto cock: auto cock is where the firing pin is automatically pulled back
thats impossible
Really? Because it's how every automatic firearm in the world works. Also: AUTO COCK. LULZ.
it does auto cock if it does it would be semi auto!
But it would also need auto-lock....
i made a semi-auto gun w/ knex and w/ auto-cock
he put auto lock.
lol i just did it all with one rubber band and it kinda goes farther
i did that and it fires hard powerful and far.i'll post it soon tho
w/o the auto lock
i think he means auto lock trigger. i mean anyone can do that.
a fancy way to say BLOCK
ya i mean auto lock sry :(
better yet on any gun
when i loaded the gun the whole thing bleww up som how :(
i just want everyone to know K'nex arent stupid... for you K'nex haters out there, actually try it, i bet alot of you will like the building challenge they offer.
exactly why I joined Instructables to make this instructable so people understand how great the toys like knex, legos, znap(lesser known), etc. are!!!
When i saw auto cock i got extremely excited. But upon clicking the instructables i found it was just auto LOCK i like its simplicity but please find the right term before you post 2/10
Same hear. I was looking around, and I saw "auto cock".I thought wow, Ithought they were just starting to make those. Then I saw the trigger just pops in. Very nice otherwise(Insert/sarcasm/hear)
it's alrite that u had to use note bk paper it's still pretty good im making it now!
its rubbish basicky evry knex gun is auto lock
look he meant to say auto lock trigger but didnt know the correct termanalogy
alas, this gun is quite... bad. absolutely nothing new or intrestibg
"You" is apparently too stupid to get the joke.
Hello. I am new to instructables. I have been using the site for a long time, but i just made an account. I dissagree with Smidge146 and danny. I made a Kenex Blowback pistol that fires Airsoft bbs about 7 feet from a 10 rnd clip. (i used a bunch of springs)
actualy it is poseible to have the ram pulled back automaticaly pulled back. you have to hook up a motor.i am working on one right now

Furloughs Could Save BSO Jobs, Stockade
If the conflict between the Broward County Commission and BSO were a game of chicken, then Sheriff Al Lamberti just swerved out of the way.
After talking tough about shutting down the minimum-security stockade and laying off 177 jail employees, Lamberti today has come up with a new idea that he's putting out to all BSO employees: If you're willing to take an eight-hour furlough within the next two months, the jobs and the stockade can remain open.
Lamberti is informing his troops of the idea today, as is the Sheriff's Office union, the Federation of Public Employees, said Sgt. Tony Marciano, a FOPE official.
"We're notifying our members right now," Marciano told the Pulp moments ago. "If enough people agree to participate in the furloughs, we'll all keep our jobs and the stockade will remain open."

When Lamberti said he was going to close the stockade, he may have believed the commission would blink. After all, the jail system would immediately become overcrowded, and the county could face $1,000-a-day federal court fines.
Instead, County Commissioners stared him down and talked of taking over the entire Department of Detention from Lamberti -- and a lot of deputies actually backed the move. Losing the jail system isn't something the sheriff can afford; the entire BSO empire could crumble, especially amid rumblings that Pompano could leave the fold as well.
The furloughs, if enough agree to take them, will not only save the jobs and the stockade but also buy the sheriff more time to decide his next move. Marciano urges all BSO-ers to take the furlough.
"It's the right thing to," says the sergeant. "Eight hours isn't too much to ask."

Analysis of Data for Exports Regulated by the Department of Commerce
GAO-07-197R: Published: Nov 13, 2006. Publicly Released: Nov 17, 2006.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In light of the September 2001 terror attacks, we were asked to examine the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security's (BIS) dual-use export control system. We reported our findings in a June 26, 2006, report, saying that BIS has not systematically evaluated the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the dual-use export control system. Specifically, we reported that BIS has not conducted comprehensive analyses of available data about items that have actually been exported from the United States. We made several recommendations in that report, including that Commerce should use the available data to evaluate the system's effectiveness. Because we had difficulty obtaining data on actual exports from Commerce, we were unable to provide specific details about these data in time for our June 2006 report. We have since obtained the data and are now transmitting to Congress our analysis of the data for 2004 and 2005.
The data we obtained provide an overall picture of the dollar value of commodities subject to Commerce regulations and of the countries receiving these exports. Most items do not require government review and approval in the form of a license prior to export. We found that less than 1 percent of exports subject to Commerce regulations were licensed in 2005. The dollar value of unlicensed exports from the United States in 2005 was about $624 billion, while the value of licensed exports was about $1.2 billion. BIS regulates the export of dual-use items that have both commercial and military applications, as well as purely commercial items. These items are either specifically identified on a control list or fall into a catch-all category referred to as EAR99. We analyzed the data according to recipient country, type of commodity, and dollar value. Items identified on the control list, whether licensed or unlicensed, were generally exported to Asian countries, such as China, Taiwan, and Singapore, and to European countries, such as France and the United Kingdom. Aircraft, computers, equipment to manufacture semiconductors, telecommunications equipment, and chemicals were some of the top commodities in terms of highest dollar value for exports identified on the control list. Turning to EAR99 items, Mexico was the largest recipient of unlicensed exports in terms of dollar value, while Cuba and Syria--embargoed countries--were the top two recipients of licensed exports. Some of the top commodities in terms of dollar value for unlicensed EAR99 exports were industrial machinery, chemicals, computers, and semiconductors, while agricultural commodities dominated licensed EAR99 exports. The insight we gained from analyzing these data further supports our prior recommendation to Commerce that it use available data to evaluate the effectiveness of its export control system. The data could aid in determining the economic impact of current regulations and in evaluating whether exporters are complying with regulations.

Quotes for Sloppy:
Bob summed it up best when he was on his knees at the end of the night saying, 'Don't trust in Guided By Voices.' You were there; was the show awful or something? I know it was sloppy but they're not really that tight anyway, but was it embarrassing, was it sad?Kim Deal.
I don't make an effort to be sloppy I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.Juliette Lewis.
Things get so sloppy when you're under the influence.Tatum O'Neal.

Hey, man, is that a MIDI guitar with amazing internal lighting effects? Well turn it up! Hot on the heels of the GTar and the Jamstik we present the Expressive, a guitar designed by Rob O'Reilly. The Kickstarter, which ends today, sold the guitars for about $450 and aims to ship in March.
Does the world need another MIDI guitar? Sure. This model scans the fretboard to see where your fingers are and, like the GTar, it is a full-sized git-fiddle. It also has a set of infinity lights in the body so you can look like the ghost of Carlos Santana on stage.
Most important, however, is that the Expressiv is a real electric guitar. Unlike some other systems, you actually have to tune this thing and you can plug it into your amp and play without depending on MIDI. The MIDI features are an added bonus, thereby…

Earlier this month Harbinger Capital, a hedge fund which made a substantial fortune from the US subprime crisis, said it had opened talks to take control of Inmarsat, the London-quoted satellites group.
The manoeuvre, which was thought to value Inmarsat at £2.3 billion, set alarm bells ringing.
Harbinger has already built up a 29% stake in Inmarsat but also holds large chunks of its major rivals - a direct 47% of SkyTerra Communications and a 38% stake in TerreStar, which in turn is a large shareholder in SkyTerra.
Inmarsat said today that Harbinger had walked away from a deal.
Harbinger explained: "Discussions have taken place between Harbinger and Inmarsat and their respective advisers and these discussions have focused upon the lengthy regulatory and competition approval process required to effect an offer for Inmarsat.
"In light of this lengthy process, which could take up to 18 months, Harbinger does not consider it appropriate to make a firm offer for Inmarsat at this stage."
Shares in Inmarsat fell 62p to 450½p.

This round all but one stitch are centered around the number 2. Double threaded or interlaced, mirrored and simply double - there are many possibilities to arrange the same stitch twice and get beautiful results.
The number two plays a major role in embroidery. You go up and down, left and right, it is a steady dance between 2 directions that form the incredible amount of possible stitches. Yesterday, I talked about the 2 methods of hand stitching:
Yesterday, I talked about the 2 methods of hand stitching: stabbing and sewing. In the tutorials all stitches are shown with the sewing method. Mainly, because I can show you 2 steps in one photo, which makes it less picture heavy. Showing a stitch in the stabbing method does require double the amount of pictures.
Nevertheless, stabbing is a much easier method to get neat stitches with and I highly encourage you to pursue......

Are you a stabber? You can admit it, I will not tell anyone. Stabbing your stitches I mean - of course - what were you thinking? I'm not talking about what you do when you hold your needle and someone runs over your embroidery floss storage spilling all your precious threads over the floor and in the delighted paws of your cat. No. I'm talking about the way you use said needle to form your embroidery stitches.
In embroidery like with every other thing on earth, there are multiple ways of achieving something.The two major ways to embroider look like this: The red one on the left is stabbing, the blue on the right is sewing. You see the difference?
Stabbing embroidery methodWhen you are a stabber, you pull the needle through the fabric every single time.

Currently, metallic threads are all on my mind lately. There are some secret projects in the making that may or may not include some golden stitchery *wink*. The last time I stitched with golden threads for the cross stitch advent calendar pattern, it was a real pain. I used a machine embroidery thread which has a great color, but it's not a dream to work with.
I have heard lots of horror stories starring metallic threads as the main character and it sort of took the enthusiasm out of me to venture in this type of threads further.But you know, they look so pretty! So I got all of my threads out and made a side-by-side comparison for several stitch types. Here are the results:
From top left clockwise:
- DMC light effects E211 (the white/violet one)
- the metallic thread that came with a machine sewing thread set
- DMC Diamant D3852

It's saturday again and this means: new embroidery stitch tutorials. With the crossed fly stitch the fly stitch family now is complete. Have a look! It's crazy to think about that at some point the leicon will be finished and there will be no tutorial-saturdays. *sigh* luckily there is always a stitch to add and yet... Can you relate? When I am right in the middle of a big project it all seems so much, that it's like a task with no end - until you can see it in the distance. The goal you have worked for. And then you have to think of something new - haha- ok it's actually fun to start new things. Now on to the stitches:
The new stitches
Wanna peek over my shoulder and get to know how my workspace looks like? Let's talk about embroidery tools! In embroidery itself, there is not much you actually need to stitch. A needle, thread and something to stitch on. Yet something so simple as that can lead to the possession of many many notions and tools. When you are operating a business around that it's even more that you need to use on a daily basis.

Flower embroidery day 5: satin stitch flower

1 Comment
Last but not least, here comes Mrs. Does-it-all *drumroll*: the satin stitch flower. I have referred to the satin stitch as satan stitch before because it does take some practice to get it perfect and sometimes it's just annoyingly not doing what it should.
Nevertheless, the satin stitch technically is one of the easiest stitches! You can use it to cover tiny, small and medium areas and make all kinds of shapes. Satin stitch makes a very smooth and polished looking surface which sets it apart from all the stitches we used in the other parts of the series which have distinct lines to show.
To give your flowers more dimension you can blend in a......

Flower embroidery day 4: blanket stitch flowers
posted by Anne
embroidery, Embroidery, tutorials
No Comments
Blanket stitch is a wonderful stitch for open and large motifs. You can use the blanket stitch to fill areas completely or partially. The smaller the space between stitches, the more of the underground fabric you will cover. Blanket stitch is a very economic stitch, leaving not much thread in the back, but a lot on the front. It works best with rounded shapes, like ovals or circles, but also scalloped edges.
Blanket stitch flower tutorials for you to try
Blanket stitch for other shapesYou can use the blanket stitch for other shapes, too. Here is a version to create leaves. Blanket stitch works great for bigger shapes. Teeny tiny things are not it's strong suit, so go bigger with them!

Let's talk about the most fun part of embroidery: Going 3D! Embroidery in itself is much more plastic than pure drawing or painting, but there are stitches and methods to raise this medium to another level.
Woven picot petalsThe woven picot petal creates a triangle, that is attached on the long end and the tip is completely disconnected from the fabric. Arrange it in a circle to make beautiful blossoms or side by side for tulips, artichokes, lotus or other flowers with pointy petals. If you want to overlap the petals, make sure to embroider the ones in the back first and then add the layers above.
The tassel flowerThere are plenty of flowers in nature which are soft and fuzzy. The tassel flower gives you the means to portrait them properly.......

Welcome to day 2 of the flower embroidery days! The name lazy daisy already reveals which flower it wants to mimic: the daisy. By altering the stitch length and amount you can create all kinds of long petal flowers! Here are some examples:
These kinds of flowers are so fast to whip up - give them a try! You can make really small or large ones, many petals or just three. Leave a gap in the middle (like in the first tutorial) and fill it up with straight stitches or french knots. Mix up long and short stitches or use different colors - this flower makes it so easy to go crazy and try new things out. If......

No Comments
Let's look at the new stitches in the lexicon! We are now in round 19 - making it 173 stitch tutorials in the lexicon. All 5 are quite uncommon, so get your fabric out and give them a try :) I have written about Otomi before. It is basically a herringbone stitch worked very closely to cover all of the underlying fabric. Otomi is a very thread-saving stitch! Most of the thread is used in the front while in the back you will only see lines of tiny tiny dots. It takes a bit of practice to get used to this stitch, but when you get in full swing it's so fast!

Braised feather blade of beef with parsley risotto by Les Wassall, head chef at Pecks Restaurant in Congleton.
Serves 6-8
Ingredients for the feather blade
• 1.5 kg blade of beef
• 100ml olive oil
• 40g unsalted butter
• 1 large carrot, roughly chopped
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 3 celery sticks, roughly chopped
• 2 leeks, roughly chopped
• 1 can of Guinness
• 25g of tomato purée
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• 4 bay leaves
• 1 large sprig of rosemary
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
• Half bottle of red wine
• 1 litre of beef stock
Ingredients for the risotto
• 50g unsalted butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 250g carnaroli rice
• 600ml of chicken stock
• A bunch of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
• Double cream, optional
• Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/gas mark 2.
• Trim the blade of beef, removing any fat or skin, and then season.
• Heat half of the oil and half of the butter in a large frying pan, then add the beef and brown all over.
• Remove from the pan and add the remaining oil and butter and fry off all the vegetables and lightly brown.
• Add the Guinness and tomato purée, and then add to the beef in a deep roasting tin or casserole pan.
• Add the herbs and garlic and pour over the red wine. Top up with beef stock so the meat is covered. Place a lid on the beef and cook in oven for 4 hours or until the meat is tender when pierced with a knife.
• Allow to cool a little before removing from pan.
• Begin the risotto 15 minutes before the end of beef cooking time. Place the butter in a good sized pan and melt but do not brown. Add the onion and some seasoning and cook until clear but not coloured.
• Add the rice and 100ml of chicken stock. Take care to stir the rice continually until it has absorbed the stock, and then add another 100ml.
• Continue like this until all the stock has been used up. Add the parsley according to your preference and cook for a few minutes more until the risotto is moist and al dente (with a bite). A small amount of double cream can be added to the risotto at this stage to give a creamy texture, but this is optional. If the risotto is too thick add a little more stock, and if it is too sloppy cook it out a little more.
To serve
• Strain the beef liquor from the vegetables and return to the stove.
• Reduce the liquid until it is thickened slightly.
• Slice the beef to required portions.
• Add a portion of the risotto to your serving plates, carefully position the beef angled on the risotto, see picture, and coat the meat with the hot reduced sauce. Add a sprinkle of chopped parsley to finish.

We are sorry to announce Live on the Pier at Dromquinna on August 1st is cancelled. So sorry to all the fans of Mundy, Paddy Casey and One Horse Pony. The rain overnight and outlook for the day are just too bad and the stage would not be safe. For those who bought tickets on line will be refunded in full.
We will have One Horse Pony play in Shutters from 3-5pm today, August 1st. No cover charge but numbers are limited.
Thank you to all who planned to attend Live on the Pier. There will be another day.
