Kerry Stokes's magazine division, Pacific Publications, has closed another title, this time the women's lifestyle magazine B, which at last count was selling only 90,149 copies a month.
Pacific Publications executive director - and Mr Stokes's son - Ryan Stokes said the magazine would not have survived without a major relaunch but the company could not justify the cost.
The closure comes as Pacific negotiates with Matt Handbury's Murdoch Magazines about a merger of the two groups. It also follows the closure of Pacific's glossy title HQ in December.
"We are committed to further building Pacific Publications' presence in the magazine market and are undertaking a strategy which will continue to build the business profitability as we focus on our core strengths with titles such as New Idea, That's Life, Home Beautiful, Girlfriend and K-Zone," Mr Stokes said.
Last July Pacific also closed youth magazine Juice, which it had bought from struggling magazine group Terraplanet only six months before.
Seven hopes eventually to build a stable of magazines to challenge Kerry Packer's highly profitable ACP, which dominates the Australian market. Both groups heavily cross-promote with their respective television networks.
This time last year Pacific came close to buying Murdoch Magazines - publisher of Better Homes and Gardens, marie claire and Men's Health - but talks broke down over price. Talks resumed just before Christmas but Seven yesterday declined to comment on them.
B was launched in February 1999 as a competitor to Cleo and Cosmopolitan, with an initial print run of 350,000 copies - 150,000 more than the average monthly sales of its rivals.
In 2002, the magazine adopted a handbag-sized format, which had been successful overseas but failed to impress local readers and advertisers.

Hannity failed to ask Harris about favor done for indicted defense contractor
When Fox News host Sean Hannity featured Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL), a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Florida, he failed to challenge her about her relationship with disgraced defense contractor Mitchell Wade. While Hannity did ask Harris to comment about $32,000 in illegal campaign contributions received from Wade, he did not press Harris about her request to the Defense Appropriations Committee for a $10 million counterintelligence project that would have benefited Wade's company, MZM Inc.
During an interview with Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL), Republican candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida, on the March 15 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, host Sean Hannity failed to challenge Harris about her efforts [1] on behalf of disgraced defense contractor Mitchell Wade, who funneled [2] tens of thousands in illegal campaign contributions to Harris's 2004 congressional campaign. Harris appeared on the program to announce her intentions to continue her campaign -- which a March 16 Miami Herald article described [3] as "beleaguered" -- against incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson [4] (D-FL), ending speculation that she was withdrawing from the race. Harris also announced she would be spending $10 million of her own money to finance her campaign efforts. The congresswoman first gained national attention in the aftermath of the November 2000 presidential election when, as Florida secretary of state, she presided over the recount of ballots and certified then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush as the winner in Florida, providing him with enough electoral votes to win the presidency.
Wade, president and CEO of defense company MZM Inc [5]., pleaded guilty to four criminal charges resulting from his role in the bribery scandal that led to the conviction [6] of and eight-year prison sentence for former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA). Cunningham resigned [7] from Congress on November 28, 2005, after pleading guilty to accepting [8] millions of dollars worth of bribes from defense contractors, including Wade, in exchange for help in winning military contracts. According to a February 25 Washington Post report [2], it was the Cunningham bribery scandal that first shed light on Wade's relationship with Harris. The Post also reported that Wade has admitted to trying "to curry favor" with Harris, pleading guilty to election fraud "for making nearly $80,000 in illegal campaign contributions," of which Harris received $32,000. The Post reported that, according to the court documents, Wade did so "in hopes that they [recipients of the illegal donations] ... would 'earmark' federal money for MZM. Wade gave the funds for the donations to 19 of his employees and their spouses, who then wrote $2,000 checks to the members."
While Hannity did ask Harris to comment about the illegal campaign contributions, he did not press Harris about her request to the Defense Appropriations Committee for a $10 million counterintelligence project that would have benefited MZM. In fact, according to a March 3 Associated Press report [9], Harris made the request after discussing military appropriations with Wade over dinner at a Washington restaurant "in early 2005," according to Harris.
A March 2 article [10] in the Tampa Tribune reported that "[a]t the time [of the illegal contributions], MZM, its officers and its political action committee were Harris' largest single source of campaign money." Harris has claimed [9] ignorance of the illegality of Wade's donations and has since reportedly donated the money to charity. Prosecutors have refused to say whether Harris is a subject of their ongoing investigation into the bribery scandal.
The "early 2005" meeting reportedly took place one year after Harris received Wade's illegal campaign contributions. According to the AP, Harris admitted to requesting earmarked funding from the House Defense Appropriations committee "for a Navy counterintelligence program involving" MZM." As the Miami Herald reported [11] on March 3, Harris -- who initially refused [10] to release any documents detailing the request -- relented on March 2 and "released details of a $10 million budget request she made on behalf of" Wade. In a statement that accompanied the released documents, Harris asserted that she "never requested the money in exchange for any contributions." Instead, the Herald reported, Harris argued that she requested the appropriation for the Navy program in order "to bring jobs to her Gulf Coast district." The proposed counter-intelligence program, according to a March 2 Tampa Tribune report [10], "would have included a new MZM office" in Harris' congressional district. But, as the Herald noted, the timing of the request has raised suspicions, as it was not part of the initial appropriations package submitted by Harris to the committee on March 18, 2005. Harris added the request for the counterintelligence program a month later, according to the Herald, four days after "a member of her congressional [staff], Mona Tate, left her office to work for MZM" -- presumably also after Harris met with Wade in "early 2005" to discuss obtaining funding for MZM. Harris did not receive the requested funding.
After being asked to comment about Wade's illegal campaign contributions on the March 15 Hannity & Colmes, Harris stated simply, "He was a bad guy. ... He promised he was going to bring jobs to my district." But Hannity did not ask Harris to explain how Wade's alleged "promise[] ... to bring jobs to my district" related to the $32,000 in illegal campaign contributions Harris received on Wade's behalf.
From the March 15 edition of Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: Now, one of the things that has come out and you've been dealing a lot in the press is this issue of Mitchell Wade. He had entered a guilty plea in the bribery case that brought down ex-California Republican Duke Cunningham. He admitted illegally funneling $32,000 in campaign contributions to you using the name of company employees.
HARRIS: If you keep reading on, it says the authorities say that I could not have known. I did not know, and I didn't --
HANNITY: But there's been a lot of press about it, but do you want to say anything about it?
HARRIS: Sure. He was a bad guy.
HANNITY: And you did with the money?
HARRIS: He promised he was going to bring jobs to my district. And he's a bad guy. But when we found out that he had, at a later date, reimbursed his employees, which by the way, is illegal --

Mods can delete or move this as you see fit, if necessary...
Despite where you live (in the US or another country), I'm wondering how would you feel, exactly, if Bush was assassinated JFK style? I mean, how would you [B]really[/B] feel?
Would you cry, or cheer? Would you say "that sucks" and move on, or would you linger on the topic? Would you feel a wave of sadness for the loss of human life, but since you (maybe) don't like Bush anyway, deep in your mind, not your heart, you'd (maybe) be kind of happy? How would you feel?
As for me, I wouldn't exactly cheer. I wouldn't be proud or anything of the person who did it. My brain would say, I guess, it's a step in the right direction politically. The assassin would probably be jailed, tortured and executed. I wouldn't approve of the assassin's actions or anything, I don't pray Bush drops dead every night... but I would hope that the US would get a better, more efficient president that would be instated and fix this fuckin' mess.
Anyway... how would you guys feel if he was actually murdered?


text: Obstruction of justice. Intentional interference in interstate commerce. Securities fraud. These are but a few of the "embarrassment of riches" that U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Paul Fishman has at his disposal "when it comes to choosing which charges to level against [NJ Governor Chris] Christie allies and potentially the governor himself," according to Salon and Esquire. Maybe if Christie and his union-busting pal, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, ask their judges nicely, they can be cellmates!

Paula Deen On Her Comeback: "I'm Fighting to Get My Name Back"
Paula Deen is speaking out for the first time since the 2013 discrimination lawsuit that brought down her cooking empire.
Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively, the 67-year-old southern chef is ready to rebuild, but knows there are still hurdles to jump.
"I'm fighting to get my name back," she told the mag.
"I feel like 'embattled' or 'disgraced' will always follow my name."
The silver-haired former Food Network star, compares her hopefulness to the inspiring words from NFL pro Michael Sam, who recently announced he's gay.
"It's like that black football player who recently came out," Deen added. "He said, 'I just want to be known as a football player. I don't want to be known as a gay football player.' I know exactly what he's saying."
Despite the overwhelming public scrutiny after Deen admitted in a deposition to using the N-word years ago that led to endorsers like Walmart and Target to sever ties with the "Queen of Butter," she has compassion for those who have faced the same challenge.
"It's amazing that some people are given passes and some are crucified. I have a new empathy for these situations, though," she said. "My dad always told me, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."
Deen described the toll the scandal took on her body and psyche: "It was like a death," Deen said.
"When I woke up each morning, it was like my world was crashing down again."
In the first days she found familiar ways to cope: "I made eight cakes in six days," she said of her need to keep busy as her name was splashed through the headlines. "I didn't eat all those cakes," added Deen, who before her public downfall had lost 40 pounds, but admits she's indulging "way too much lately."
But it was her devoted online fans and celebrity friends like Kathy Griffin, who paid her a surprise visit at her home in Savannah, who kept her sane.
"I could not get off the computer except to go to the bathroom and eat. It was so reassuring," she said, adding that she's been in therapy to help deal with her latest professional struggle.
"If it wasn't for my fans' love, I'd be home breathing into a paper bag."
But for now she's got plenty to be happy about. She just signed a $75 million deal with a new investor to re-launch her brand. And she's learned valuable lessons and the importance of saying sorry during the painful process.
"I used to have dreams that I lost everything. And when it finally happens you think, 'I'm still alive,'" she continued in the interview. "[My husband] Michael told me, 'You've learned how badly words can hurt and how powerful they are.' I have been hurt by them, and I unintentionally hurt others. But I don't want that to define who I am.
"Some people said I never apologized. If anyone did not hear me, I want to apologize," she added. "I would never ever hurt anyone intentionally. Never."

Nigel Bowen Chambers has 18 practising full-time barristers and 1 reader. The chambers was founded in 1991.
The Members of Nigel Bowen Chambers practise in all Courts and Tribunals and in most areas of law, although specialise particularly in Intellectual Property, Commercial Law and Equity, Defamation and Media Law, Construction Law, Environmental and Planning Law, and Public Law.
Nine members of Chambers are senior counsel. The other members range in seniority from new barristers to experienced senior juniors. We have a reader's room and our readers usually stay with us for 6 months or a year, usually reading with a member of Chambers, and appearing frequently with other members.
Nigel Bowen Chambers was named in honour of Sir Nigel Bowen - an eminent Australian Barrister, Attorney-General and Judge.
Between 1936 and 1964 he practised as an advocate specializing in commercial equity and intellectual property matters, developing an Australia-wide practice before he was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1953, elected to the Federal Parliament in 1964 and appointed Federal Attorney-General in 1966.
It was in that capacity that he introduced and played a large personal role in shaping the landmark Copyright Act 1968 and initiated the process that led to the passing of the equally progressive Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977. During this time he set up and administered the enquiry which led to the establishment of the Federal Court, and also served as Minister for Education and Science and Minister for Foreign Affairs.
In 1973 he was appointed the Chief Judge in Equity of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and in 1976 he was appointed the founding Chief Judge – later Chief Justice – of the Federal Court; the establishment of which owed so much to his efforts while Attorney-General.
In 1990 Sir Nigel retired as one of the most respected Australian jurists of the second half of the twentieth century, and we soon after asked his permission to allow us to name our Chambers after him. He graciously consented and was present when we first opened our doors in 1991.

Strange that a four-cent renewal of a cigarette tax would become one of the most important issues in the current legislative session, but that is the way it seems to be going in Baton Rouge.
It is partly politics, of course. Gov. Bobby Jindal doesnt want to go against his promise not to raise taxes and he considers such a renewal to be a raise. So his plan this week was to veto it and expect the leges to uphold it.
Actually, he could have gone the other way and said he actually didnt want taxes to be raised to a higher level than they have been. And then, the renewal would be okay.
At stake is a mere $12 million a year in revenue which may seem to be more than usual in this year of hard times. There are more important issues in this legislative session.
Hopefully, the renewal or not will be settled quickly one way or the other so the administrative and legislative branches can continue running the state amicably in the best interest of the people, which they have done in the past. Lets remember that a four cent tax is not the most important issue on the table.
State income tax still on the table
The legislature is again considering repeal of the state income tax. A tailored version of Senate Bill 259 which would phase the tax out in 10 years was introduced Monday.
Changes would no longer eliminate state corporate income taxes and would not tie the repeal in to action by a study committee.
Maybe Louisiana will join nine other states with no income tax with which to burden their citizens in the future. Bravo.

RTC has announced a material contract win with SSE Plc. It has been awarded a 3yr contract to source, train and provide at least 250 'Dual Fuel' installers for the roll-out of SSE's smart metering programme. The revenues will be £28m for the period November 2017 to December 2020. As a result, we have upgraded our 2018 and 2019 PBT forecasts by 13% and 11% to £1.8m and £2.1m and increased our price target from 85p to 95p. The contract significantly derisks the earnings profile with 76% of gross profits (ex DCC) now deemed recurring and confirms our argument that RTC deserves a higher rating and should not be viewed as just a cyclical recruitment company.

Paysafe is potentially the target of a 590p per share (all cash) bid from a private equity consortium. Paysafe's largest shareholder supports the bid, which must formally be made by 18 August. At the same time, Paysafe has announced the all-cash acquisition of a US payment processor for $470m. This reduces the group's exposure to the gambling sector and strengthens its position in North America.

Whether we know it or not, advanced materials are a core component in the everyday life of the everyday person. They are the key material in items we often disregard, such as printer inks and lotions, to objects which defy the laws of gravity like the Airbus A380 and London's Shard. Furthermore, these materials are not only essential to many objects and structures, but, due to their superior qualities, are the key to the advancement of many industries. One such example is the use of carbon fibre which offers five to ten times more rigidness, stiffness, and strength than its aluminium counterpart. As a result of these impressive qualities, motorsport and athletics have improved ten-fold since their mainstream use and new records are broken every year.

No change to forecasts following H117 update; our forecast equates to earnings growth of 23% in FY17. We believe a PE valuation around 10x remains inconsistent with current trading, geographical alignment and delivery of the strategy to acquire niche growth businesses such as Rishworth and ConSol. We anticipate an ongoing narrowing of the discount to its peer group as superior growth rates compensate for size/liquidity and cash generation drives a rapidly improved balance sheet. A rating of at least 13x is a realistic short term expectation providing scope for meaningful share price outperformance from current levels.

Recent FY results were in line with expectations. Significant investment in facilities and people has positioned the group to up-scale its activities. Its ambition is to double revenue over the next five years through acquisitions and organic growth. The group should experience a recovery in its manufacturing business and is also well placed to continue consolidating a fragmented market, with acquisitions that extend its technology reach and result in market share growth. The shares remain attractively rated, at a discount to its peers, and offer decent upside to our 535p price target.

There are numerous reasons to buy RTC. Improved visibility due to its exposure to recurring, higher margin, contracts in the robust UK engineering sector now account for c46% of revenues – up from 25% in 2014. Following a strong start to 2017 we forecast adjusted PBT growth of 16%, a ROCE of 19% and a sustainable dividend and FCF yield of 7% and 11% respectively. With a PE rating of just 7x we initiate with a BUY recommendation and a price target of 85p, representing 73% upside.

Discussion in '.22-Rimfire Forum' started by John1 S, Aug 25, 2010.
would get this one . about 35 yds.
thats why i cant hunt squirrel... cause i cant spot them rascals very well.
Or hit a neighbors house a mile away if you missed.
Shoot thats an easy target I shoot bees with mine
Have to agree with ya there JLA, the dragonfly's are good practice! Ive had a few good days of nothing but plinking and a good break it was.
you should not be hunting if houses are with in a mile. Don't be lazy and get out in the woods
Yeah, I'd probably be able to nail that little sucker with no problem.
My 10/22 at 50 yards with Federal Bulk 550 from Walmart:
I use a Simmons 3 X 9 scope set at 6 power.
Nice group snakedriver, here are a couple from my Rem 5 at 50 yds using Aguila golden eagle match rifle 40 gr. solids. I could shoot the hair off gnats arse with it...
My Rem 5 is set up with a set of steel tip off rings from warne, and mounted with a Burris fullfield II 3-9X40mm. I set it to 6X for 50 yds and closer as well...
[/URL][/IMG]100 yard target, 10 shots fired in 12-25 mph winds a few days ago with Ruger 10/22 and Simmons 3-9x40 scope using Remington Golden bullets. Not the best 100 yard target but considering the ammo and the wind not bad. For squirrel I prefer 50' or closer. The little fellers move around a lot more than this stationary target did and my old peepers take awhile to find them and focus. .
cool salami been rotten target. I want some
That's some real nice shooting too! One of these days I'll have to break down and spend a few extra bucks for some "match" ammo and see what my .22's can REALLY do, but for the most part I'm pretty happy with the way they do on the cheap bulk stuff as long as it's not Remington Golden Bullets.
I wanna try Lapua, but at 15 bucks for 50 rounds I wouldnt shoot it for fear of wasting it
Nice thing(s) about .22 rifles...you don't have to spend a ton of bucks on the rifle (or the ammo) to have an economical, accurate, fun and easy to shoot set-up...I can still tack-drive with the old Remington "511-X Scoremaster" my dad gave me for a (best) Christmas present many many! years ago. I never even "shot my eye out" with it, either like in the evergreen old movie A Christmas Story. I know- that was a Red Ryder BB gun!
As I've aged and got more disposable dollars- I've gravitated toward the Czech Republic's fine CZ rifles; both rimfire and CF. But the old Remington still cracks them off just fine. Good luck to the OP in your selection/ .22 rimfire shooting will always be one of the simple pleasures of life, huh guys?
Bob, I still have my old Remington 512 Sportmaster bolt action that my Dad gave me when I was 10 y.o. and what a great .22 rifle it is. Awesome accurate and fun for all to enjoy.
Snake-- sounds like we both had pretty good Dads, eh? I still sure miss mine-- he was gone way back in 1996 and I try to honor him in what he tried to teach me; sportsmanship, honesty, ethics, and last but not least-- straight shooting! Our old Remingtons will probably outlast us- the stock is a little small for me now, but I still roll it out once in awhile for ventilating a few cans and bottles out in the Desert---he also taught me to "clean up my messes," haha!

Nigeria, late 1960s. Two daughters, Olanna (Newton) and Kainene (Rose), mirror their country's newly-asserted independence by following their hearts rather than their father's wishes for them. One falls for a married man; the other a young radical (Ejiofor). Against a backdrop of national turmoil, neither's path proves smooth.
Fans of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's acclaimed bestseller about well-educated Nigerians (Thandie Newton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anika Noni Rose) caught up in the chaos and bloodshed of the newly independent nation's civil war will be disappointed by Nigerian playwright Biyi Bandele's reductive reading of the novel, set in the '60s but with themes that resonate from Sudan to the Congo. Newcomers will be puzzled by the clumsy contextualisation and muddled motivation of characters who, robbed of their inner lives by a clunky script, are left floundering amid the melodrama and speak-the-plot dialogue in what amounts to a Radio 4 play with pictures.
A clunky, clumsy handling of a book with (here untapped) depth.

A Challenge to Sen. Lugar? FreedomWorks Remains Undecided
FreedomWorks, the conservative activist group that helped launch the tea party two years ago, hasn't yet decided if it will back a primary challenge against Sen. Richard Lugar (R., Ind.).
"We're not going to climb the hill unless we have a reasonable shot at taking the hill," Adam Brandon, a FreedomWorks spokesman, told Washington Wire on Monday.
Mr. Lugar, a top target for some conservatives, will face Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, a favorite of conservatives, in next year's primary. Back in March, a FreedomWorks delegation huddled with a group of tea party activists at an Indianapolis hotel to discuss strategy against Mr. Lugar. The fact that some of Mr. Lugar's Washington opponents are still undecided signals their concerns about Mr. Mourdock's chances of winning the general election…

Honor your peers with a nomination for an MNA award
One of the greatest honors to achieve is the recognition of your peers. In this fast-changing health care system in which nurses daily strive to carry-out their duties to their patients, there is very little time for them to acknowledge their own professional accomplishments and those of their peers.
To that end, the MNA has established a number of awards, established by the membership with the approval of the MNA Board of Directors, that offer all members an opportunity to recognize nurses who by their commitment and outstanding achievements have honored us all. These are often ordinary nurses accomplishing extraordinary things. They are the nurses who challenge us all to achieve excellence.
Nominations for these awards must be made by an MNA member. Self-nomination is acceptable. A list and brief description of each award is provided in brochure format each year. The brochure is posted below when available.
Please note: Only a member of MNA can nominate a candidate for an award.
For more information, follow the links below, or call Liz Chmielinski at 781.830.5719.

A celebratory race meeting was held in Aldershot on Sunday (August 24) in memory of late racing driver Jeff Woolford and the Tongham racing track.
"Twenty years ago, was a sad period for the people of Aldershot, in particular for its sporting public", writes Michael Burnage. "Having lost their stock car racing track at Tongham in 1992, to make way for the A331, two years later one of the most popular and talented drivers ever to grace the track, Jeff Woolford, sadly passed away at a terribly young age.
"On Sunday, the spirit of the old Spedeworth Headquarters and the memory of Jeff, were both honoured with a celebratory race meeting at the town's new modern track at Rushmoor.
"Over 50 former drivers that used to race with Jeff at the old HQ, in the 1980s and 1990s, came out of retirement for one last spin around an oval raceway, and more importantly one last crash.
"Such is the love and respect for their former friend and rival, that not only drivers who had not raced for many a year took part in the event, but also several who had travelled from foreign shores, including two from Australia, the Weldon brothers Mark and Gary."
Today's drivers, from the Brighton Bears and Hampshire's Post Wash team also took part in the event which attracted racing fans from across the country.
Classic cars, such as Rover P4s and MKll Ford Granadas hit the track at the Rushmoor Arena and one of Jeff's former teammates Mark 'Tombo' Thomas raced a Rover P5 that had belonged to his late friend and had been in his barn for 20 years.
Driver Dave 'Kingy' King, who also took part, said: "I had a tear in my eye racing again with the guys from the old HQ.
"I was just an up and coming young driver then, racing against these stalwarts. To be back out there again amongst them was a real privilege."
A minute's silence was also held in tribute to Jeff and to former driver, Mike 'Tiny' Baverstock, who died from a hart attack in the weeks leading up to the event.
Current Spedeworth owner, Deane Wood, made a surprise appearance and, had no idea he was going to don the overalls again after a 15-year absence, until former World Champion Jason Jackson arrived with a car for him to use.
As he rolled back the years, it was clear that he had not lost any of his old skills as he won the first race of the day with a master class of driving.
Michael added: "At the end of the day, suitable homage and respect was paid by spectators and drivers. A whole day's top entertainment was such a fitting way to remember the memory of Jeff, a racing legend, but more importantly an all-round decent bloke."

See the fearless Artemisia as she leads the Persian navy to battle the Greeks, led by the heroic Themistocles.
Vengeance is the theme of a new trailer for "300: Rise of an Empire". As Queen Gorgo tearfully sends her husband to his final resting place, Themistocles urges her to seek revenge for Leonidas' death.
Themistocles, attempting to unite all of Greece, leads his army in a sea battle against the ruthless Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy. "She has sold her soul to death himself. She's going to bring all of hell with her," Themistocles says of the female warrior, yet urging his men to seek glory in death rather than surrender to their enemies.
Set to Black Sabbath's "War Pigs", the action-packed video sees bloodsheds, rage, violence and lust.
Sullivan Stapleton takes the role of Themistocles, and Eva Green is cast as Artemisia. Rodrigo Santoro returns as Xerxes, with Lena Headey reprising her role as Queen Gorgo. Directed by Noam Murro, the sequel to Zack Snyder-directed 2007 film "300" will open in theaters across the nation on March 7.

This review is from: Corsair Obsidian Series 800D CC800DW Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: Roomy!! This thing has a ton of room. When I first got it my buddy (builds computers/fixes them for a living) were shocked at how big and roomy it was. We thought about buying another motherboard to go in it. (Joke) But I love the room. Love how it has the side to hide all the cables and when I look inside everything looks nice and neat.
Cons: Its pretty heavy and hard to move with no handles. Didn't think it would be that heavy. (But I did buy it b/c I wanted a big tower so that is on me) Do wish there was a lighting system built in consdering it has the plastic to look. And speaking of plastic i had to move so I packed the tower back in the original packaging and a corner of the plastic cracked not a big deal but just putting it out there.
Other Thoughts: Overall I'm satisfied and at the time I bought it if I could go back and redo it I would buy the same case works for my for custom built computer.READ FULL REVIEW

This season, a lot of fantasy baseball stalwarts have been sidelined by injury. While most people are simply storing these former all-stars on their DL, the question becomes: will they provide value once healthy this season?
It's a tough dilemma if you an owner of Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia, Evan Longoria, Troy Tulowitzki and more. The problem is, even if they do come back this season, they are going to be more prone to days off, especially if their team is not in the playoff run. This is not a very reliable fantasy baseball player that an owner can depend on to provide value.
The tip to remember in fantasy baseball is to realize in one year leagues, no one is untouchable and uncuttable. If there are other league owners who are high on a certain player, it might be more beneficial to trade them now than to deal with the headache. Some owners might still be high on a player, even though they really have no clue when exactly they are going to return to full strength.
Another strategy is to just hold on to the player and see if they are truly back to full strength. With DL spots, this can be done rather easily. The only downfall to this is if the pitcher or position player ends up really struggling after injury. Now, you are stuck with an underperforming player that no one really wants to trade for.
Sometimes, fantasy baseball is all about making rather odd decisions. The Phillies are not going to cut Roy Halladay, the Yankees aren't going to cut C.C. Sabathia and the Rays are certainly not going to cut Evan Longoria. If production is what you need for the months of August and September though, it might just be something a fantasy baseball owner needs to do.

Apparently this is the message the St. Louis Cardinals sent to third baseman David Freese on Sunday as the 25-year-old was among the very first 15 players cut from big league camp.
The odds-on favorite to seize the interim starting third base job during Troy Glaus' rehab reported to spring training with a lingering Achilles tendon injury as the result of a January automobile accident. Through Sunday, he had a grand total of one at-bat, during which he struck out.
This opened the door for a long-shot candidate, Joe Mather, to step in and take what appears to be a most sizeable lead. The club also has several other players in camp who can man the hot corner defensively, including Brendan Ryan, Brian Barden and Tyler Greene.
As a non-roster player, nothing would preclude Freese from appearing in major league spring training games later this month – but he will both need to prove his health and demonstrate results first. The Cardinals feel he can best accomplish that in minor league camp.
The other non-battery cut of the 15 was fellow third baseman Brett Wallace. Unlike Freese, the organization's first-round draft pick last June was not expected to see considerable time this spring and he did not. Wallace went 1-for-6 over five games in his first big league camp.
All 15 players reassigned to minor league camp were non-roster invitees (NRIs). The other 13 consist of four catchers and nine pitchers, including four lefties and five right-handers.
The four left-handers shipped out are Justin Fiske, Brad Furnish, Katsuhiko Maekawa and Ian Ostlund. The five right-handers include Hyang-nam Choi, Shaun Garceau, Trey Hearne, Tyler Herron and Francisco Samuel.
The catchers cut are Tony Cruz, Luis De La Cruz, Steven Hill and Justin Knoedler.
Following the moves, the Cardinals now have 46 players in camp, including the 35 on the 40-man roster and 11 NRIs.
The 11 remaining NRIs are pitchers Clayton Mortensen, Adam Ottavino (with Team Italy in the WBC), Fernando Salas, Jess Todd and P.J. Walters. Catchers are Bryan Anderson and Matt Pagnozzi, infielders Joe Thurston and Allen Craig along with outfielders Jon Jay and Colby Rasmus. A February 26th report by MLB.com that pitcher Mark McCormick received an invite was apparently not carried out, as he is not listed on the current roster and has not pitched.
Pitchers and catchers report to minor league camp on Monday with position players set to arrive on Wednesday.

What is the best method for treating carpet beetles?
The presence of carpet beetles wandering around inside a structure suggests that you have a source someplace inside where the larvae are contentedly munching on their chosen foods, and these foods often are materials that we meant for our own use or consumption and did not plan to share with the beetles. Carpet beetles are one of Nature's main recyclers, and they feed not only on animal fibers and things made from them (hair, feathers, skin, wool, felt) but also on most grain-based dry food products. I myself played the part of Carpet Beetle Rancher for awhile as a large population of them fed for months on a large dog "biscuit" that had fallen where I did not see it. I have seen infestations of them coming from rodent baits left too long in attics. They manage to find wool sweaters, socks, and other clothing stored in boxes or other hidden places, including within cedar-lined chests that people believe will keep them out. They feed on decorations with feathers, on felt pads under lamps, etc. These are very, very efficient insects.

Fa la la la whaaaaa?
Nov 29th
It's that time of year again — time for another article about the sad state of how early the "holidays" start (if so inclined, you can go to Fox News heree; Pottsville Republican here; and CNN.com has a whole section about it) . I have read articles from the local news to major media with the same message: the "holiday" season starts too early.
I might be the only one — but I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that the holidays start too early.
1. The holidays don't need to mean "spend money". Yes, the stores are chock full of in your More >
Call me Robert Palmer
Nov 19th
As I was working this post over in my mind, our son came down with the ever mysterious 24-hour stomach bug. Happy one moment, puking on me, the floor and carpet the next and unable to hold water — then back to happy within a few hours. Seems sort of fitting.
There have been multiple articles, studies, reports, anecdotes, and you name it about whether or not parenting truly makes you happy. I was intrigued with a recent article by Shankar Vedantam in Slate.In all honesty, the title caught my attention: "Parents Are Junkies, If parenthood sucks, why do we love More >
Airborne Baby
Nov 16th
I mean airborne WITH a baby. Fellow dad Parry over at Dad Blast! commented on my post about flying with a toddler/infant — and I want to make sure this doesn't get lost since the story is hysterical and really puts a positive spin on things. I can only sum up the hilarity with his equation: Dad + Infant + Airplane – Mom = Terror.
You can find his very funny blog post here at Dad Blast!
Along with being extremely funny, he brings up a very interesting point about how the sex of parent impacts response — had it been his More >
Tip #12
Nov 14th
Been a while since I let one loose — but since it is tied to my son letting them loose, I think it is fitting. After 18 months of changing diapers and only a single incident of kiddo peeing on me during a diaper change, my tip is this:
Have the next diaper ready to put on. Don't reach for it after you have removed the first diaper. Have it out — tabs ready — everything. When the time is right, pull off the old and put on the new.
99% effective for this dad.
What is a parent to do?
Nov 12th
I think parents are in a lose-lose situation. This isn't in all cases — and I think everyone faces this in some aspect of their life, but it really struck me on a recent business trip.
To back up a step, I think I need to explain a little more about my approach to things. When faced with a situation, I mentally play out the various courses of action one can take and the resulting scenarios — then pick the course of action that produces the desired result, or if that isn't possible, then next best. And as the Wifey More >
Give the gift of water
Nov 9th
There are so many things in life that I take for granted — with water being very high on that list. I have a hard enough time watching my son fight simple infections that I know will clear up — so I can't even begin to imagine what it is like to watch your child suffer without something so basic as water. This is why I signed up for P&G's Give Health Program. I know I sit the fence on the impact of big business, but this is something I see as a very worthwhile cause.

Infant Car Seat Recall

The issue, pulled directly from the release: The harness chest clip can break and pose a laceration hazard. Due to its small size it also poses a choking hazard.

I doubt it's your battery - that should be good for another few years unless you have had a few full discharges and/or the magic eye is black.

I haven't had a chance to check yet but I suspect one of the bulbs behind the led tail lights on the tailgate has worked loose. I will look at it this weekend. My first thought was it was how cold it was outside yesterday here in NorCal, but I think super is right.
Do I have LED's or bulbs?
To diagnose and fix this, I'm thinking I just have to wait until it goes completely bad, right now I can't figure out what light's not working even when the warning light is on.
May not be the bumpy roads in the Bay Area, may be because I went off road again last month on a really rough trail.

I'd love for you to meet a lady who turned her passion into a small business. Her name is Lori Marie, the artist/designer behind the California-based business Pretty Little Things. Based in Oakland, Lori started out as an aerospace engineering major at UCSD and decided to take some art classes, "to balance out my math and science courses," Lori said. "It wasn't long before I realized that my passion for innovation and creativity was better applied to pattern making than rocket science…so I transferred to FIDM in San Francisco and graduated with a degree in fashion design instead." This is a lady who followed her heart! Would you like to know a little bit more about Lori and see her work studio? Sure you would. ;)
How did you get started after your studies at FIDM?
Lori: My first design job was as a pattern maker for a leather handbag company called Libaire. I learned a little bit about everything in this position since I hand drafted all the patterns and worked directly with the sewers to see the designs through production. I needed a change after 2 years and so I began freelancing as a textile artist for Pottery Barn Kids. I got the job the old fashioned way, through the classifieds, followed by a series of interviews and … Voila! I worked with them for over 4 years doing hand embroidery and appliqu? samples for childrens' bedding collections. I am currently working with a brand called Whistle&Wink (launched in 2007 by the original design director for Pottery Barn Kids), in addition to creating handmade designs under my own label of course.
What inspires your work?
Lori: I am inspired by all sorts of stuff, but mostly by print and pattern. I like to combine interesting colors with unexpected details to create fun and functional pieces of art.
Any favorite designers/artists on your radar right now?
Lori: There is certainly no shortage of inspiration online these days and you never know where you might end up after a series of links. I love to search aimlessly through etsy listings when I need a good dose of inspiration. I am constantly adding to my list of faves.
Here are some of her favorite spots in her art studio…
What is the best business advice you've heard and applied to your own business?
Lori: I think it's easy to get lost in the crowd with so many talented ladies willing to share a glimpse of their world with us through blogging. It can be a challenge to stand out and sometimes I wonder where I fit in. I have to remember not to compare myself too much to others, but just keep on doing what I love and hope it will shine through. {note: Lori's blog can be found here.)
Where do you sell your work?
Lori: Since I still make each and every pretty little thing by hand, I sell them exclusively through my etsy shop.
Any advice for those looking to start their own business?
Lori: You better make sure that you LOVE what you do because you will eat sleep and breathe it!
Psst: Lori was on the Martha show this past February, here's a project of hers that you can try yourself at home!
Thank you Lori for visiting us here on decor8 and a special word of thanks to reader Michele for telling me about Lori in the first place!
I'd also like to mention that Lori makes a super point about how one can easily start comparing their work to that of others and what a downer that can be. I think many of us battle with this tendency, it's human. When you find yourself doing this think of what Karl Lagerfeld once said to pull yourself in and regain focus, "Personality begins when comparison ends".

Ukraine's Euro 2012 tournament director Markiyan Lubkivskyi has downplayed fears over a measles outbreak in the west of the country.
When asked whether the measles outbreak was serious, Lubkivskyi said: "No, I can check this with the Ministry of Health but, to my knowledge, no.
"There are a lot of horror stories coming but this tournament is covered by a lot of rumours from everywhere. My understanding is that this is not true."
The eastern European nation will host the European Championships for the first time this summer alongside co-hosts Poland, although the pair's preparations have been beset by issues.
The latest concern relates to an outbreak of measles in Ukraine, which the European Centre of Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has predicted will "accelerate and spread" through until June, when the tournament begins.
The ECDC has urged fans to be inoculated before travelling to Euro 2012 as a result, while the Foreign Office "strongly recommends" fans get vaccinated.


text: Green Grass Group's DoubleVsquare ($25) — which consists of two triangular-type aluminum squares hinged down the center — makes it easier to transfer marks around corners, from the sharpest acute angles to nearly flat facets. Open, it works well for jobs like marking out siding across outside or inside corners or as a saddle square to mark two sides of a deck post. Closed, it works just like a standard triangular square. The slight play in the hinge keeps it from being a high-precision tool, but it's fine for most construction purposes. Other good uses include marking square across waney 2-bys that don't have sharply defined edges and guiding a long drill bit along the open hinge to drill straighter into concrete or thick timbers. 800-951-9541, www.doublevsquare.com.
