While there was nothing particularly wrong with tonight's WWE Raw, the show seemed lacking in a few areas. I really enjoyed the focus on in-ring action. However, the show suffered from too many non-finishes, and didn't offer any "must-see" segments. Here's the rundown:Read More »

UFC Video: The Ultimate Fighter 18 Preview 'Rousey vs. Tate'
There is a lot of hype going into The Ultimate Fighter 18 with Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate as the coaches. And to say there is no love lost between these two would be an understatement. Hate would be much closer to the truth. And when a couple of women don't like one another — especially in an adrenaline filled ...Read More »

Introductions Edit
Contact Introduced By Edit
New Contact(s) Edit
I think you should meet Andrew Fiore. Not only can he sell you quality electronics, but he's got information about lots of less savory business deals. He's helped more than a few heroes, especially with information about the Freakshow and the Family. Andrew has a lot of sources that give him access to Training Enhancements.
Did you ever see that weekly paper, the Asian Paragon? Well, its publisher, Olivia Chung, is a great woman. She knows all about what's going on in the immigrant community and has helped more than one hero sort out a jam involving the Vahzilok or the Outcasts. Olivia has her offices in Steel Canyon.
You won't meet many people as good-hearted as Olivia.
Have you ever met Vitaly Cherenko, the mystic healer? He's a walking hospital, only he uses magic instead of bandages. You should talk to him and see if you can help each other defeat the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Vitaly can usually be found in Skyway City.
Many people don't understand the work Vitaly is doing, but that doesn't mean it's not important.
Treat Wilma with respect and you will have a solid contact.
Have you ever heard of Wilma Peterson from the Department of Waste Management? She's one of the folks in charge of disposing of hazardous waste, like Rikti technology. You should stop by and see her sometime; she's got her eye on the Freakshow and the Family right now. Wilma has access to Training Enhancements.
Information Edit
Technology Analyst
Fareed Abdullah is an independent technology analyst. Companies call him in to evaluate new technologies and help them make the right decisions. In order to do the best job possible, Fareed keeps himself constantly apprised of the latest developments in technology. In Paragon City, that means trying to keep up with what the bad guys are doing and what the heroes are doing in response. Fareed has analyzed hundreds of pieces of criminal equipment and advised nearly as many heroes on the technology that can serve them best. He's very well connected and popular in the science community, and he's always looking for new heroes to work with.
Initial Contact Edit
I believe that we can assist each other a great deal.
Store Edit
Fareed Abdullah sells the following items:
- Inspirations
- Level 15 dual-origin technology/science enhancements
- Level 20 dual-origin technology/science enhancements
Missions Edit
Rescue Missing Officer Edit
I just got a call from the police department; they've got a cop missing from his beat! I need you to find Officer Gary Steil. We cannot allow a decorated officer to be abducted.
Bring that officer back safe and sound.
Mission Objective(s)
The Lost must not be allowed to take the law into their own hands.
- Defeat kidnapper and his guards
- The name of the officer to be rescued can vary. Possible names include Gary Steil, Lance Hinton, Michael Hicks and Sam Perry.
|Gary Steil's Story
|When you rescued Officer Steil, he told you:
'All right, I'll admit it. The Lost bribed me to look the other way about a raid they were planning on a local munitions factory. I took their money, but I tipped off a hero anyway. When they found out I'd double-crossed them, they came after me.'
Notable NPCs
- Chief Genghis (Boss) (The Lost Aberrant Eremite)
You will be taught to leave us alone!
- Officer Gary Steil/Lance Hinton/Michael Hicks/Sam Perry (Hostage)
All right, I'll tell you the whole sordid story.
So, Officer Steil took a bribe from the Lost, then double-crossed them. No wonder they went after him! Only one thing troubles me: Steil said that the Lost wanted him to overlook their raid on a munitions factory. All we've ever seen from the Lost is random violence and chaos. Could it be that there is actually a method to their madness?
Speak with Longbow Liaison for Bloody Bay Edit
I'm sure you've heard about what's going on in Bloody Bay. Longbow is recruiting heroes there to fight against the villains coming in from the Rogue Isles. Go talk with the Longbow Warzone Liaison for Bloody Bay over in Skyway City.
The Longbow Liaison will give you an appraisal of the situation in Bloody Bay. You can then make the choice whether you want to get involved or not.
Mission Objective(s)
- Speak to Longbow Liaison
Greetings. I'm the Longbow Liaison for the hero versus villain PvP zone of Bloody Bay. Bloody Bay is a Player Vs. Player zone. Bloody Bay is VERY dangerous, and if you go there, you almost certainly will be attacked by other players. Do not enter Bloody Bay unless you are willing to engage in Player Vs. Player combat.
If you are interested in entering Bloody Bay, you can get there by climbing up to the rooftop of this building via the fire escape and talking with the helicopter pilot. Once you get to Bloody Bay, you can speak with Warzone Agent Eckman in the Longbow-controlled safe zone. She can provide you with your missions taking place throughout the zone. These missions will allow you to change the course of the battle by providing boosts to heroes or penalties to villains. Good luck!
I hope the Longbow Liaison provided you what you need to know about Bloody Bay.
See Faultline Security Chief Edit
This mission is no longer offered as of Issue 8. Characters who already had accepted the mission will still be able to complete the mission.
The Security Chief for Faultline requested competent help. I volunteered you. Please help him however you can.
Faultline is a nasty place. Take backup.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to the Security Chief
Look over this brief and then head to the streets and curb the Vahzilok activity. If I were you, I'd start in Dark Canyons and the Aftershock neighborhood.
|Faultline briefing
|Overbrook was built on top of one of the many tributaries leading into the small lake outside of town. Eventually, the city dammed the lake, turning it into the reservoir. Overbrook became a beautiful place, with waterfront property and gleaming skyscrapers. But this was not to last. Right after the war, the archvillain Faultline tried to blackmail the city with his earthquake devices. A few novice heroes tried to stop him, but failed. The villain set off his machinery and leveled Overbrook. No one has heard from Faultline since, and the area adopted his name. A lot of villains have crawled out of the woodwork to claim the ruins of this zone.
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep peace in Faultline
- Defeat 15 Vahzilok
You have defeated 15 Vahzilok.
Trial zones are no cake walk. I'm impressed.
Hit the streets and look for clues to the Lost's plans Edit
I'm beginning to think that the Lost may be targeting their violent attacks on specific businesses and facilities. I'm hoping you can help me learn more. I need you to hit the streets and look for clues to the Lost's plans. If I'm right, there's much more to the Lost than meets the eye.
You can find large concentrations of Lost in Boomtown or Skyway City. You should start looking for clues there.
Temporary Power
Since the Lost are Paragon City citizens, I'd like you to use this Plasmatic Taser. That way you won't do any permanent harm.
| Plasmatic Taser Cone Energy/Smashing Damage, Knockback
This non-lethal plasma device is more effective than a normal stun blaster. It unleashes a cone of energy that knocks foes back. The Plasmatic Taser has 45 charges.
There is a Lost ambush upon accepting this mission.
Mission Objective(s)
- Seek clues to Lost's plans
- Defeat 15 Lost
|List of locations
|You found this list on one of the Lost you defeated. It lists several locations, including a bank, a water purification facility, and a military depot.
I have never been sorrier to be proven right. It looks like the Lost really are targeting specific locations for their attacks. They also attack a lot of unimportant sites in order to make their raids seem random. But there's no doubt about it: there's a calculating mind guiding the Lost. We need to find out what its ultimate goals are.
Free the students from the Clockwork Edit
The Clockwork have overrun a recycling drive, trapping several student volunteers from Paragon City University in the building. They're probably just attracted to the scrap metal, but things could get nasty if they stay trapped in there much longer. Get over to the location I have marked for you and free those students from the Clockwork.
Your only objective is to make sure that the students get out of there unharmed. The Clockwork are probably just looking for scrap metal, but that might not protect those students if the Clockwork start to think of them as threats to their scavenging.
I never thought I'd see the day when recycling could put your life in danger. You've got to get those people out of there.
Mission Objective(s)
- Free students from Clockwork
- 4 students remaining
Notable NPCs
- Student Volunteer x4 (Hostage NPCs)
I am so writing my next Heroic Studies paper about this.
I was terrified until you showed up! Thank you!
I told the others not to worry. I grew up in Paragon. I knew a hero would come.
Thanks for the save, Hero! I can make it out from here.
Apparently, those PCU students felt pretty inspired by the rescue. I checked in with them and their families, and it looks like they've decided to continue helping the recycling drive, even after all that happened.
People sometimes ask how folks live in Paragon City. Events like this one today are the reason why people can live here. Events like this, and people like you.
Retrieve Manny's Trophy Edit
This might seem a little odd, but I have a personal favor to ask you. I have a buddy, Manny, whose house was recently raided by Clockwork scavengers. They stole all the metal in the place, including his track trophy from college. It's a 15-year-old hunk of scrap, but it's the only reminder he has of his life before the war, when he could walk. If you can recover Manny's trophy, I'd sure appreciate it.
Manny tried to get it back himself, but the Clockwork disassembled his wheelchair. He was able to follow them to an abandoned warehouse first. You can take out the Clockwork there if you want, but Manny really just wants his trophy back.
Mission Objective(s)
- Recover trophy from Clockwork
Notable NPCs
- Steampunk (Clockwork Cannon Prince)
Thank you. Manny's going to be so happy! I know it may not seem like a big victory, but this trophy you recovered is probably the only thing that kept Manny going after he lost his legs in the war.
Go to Skyway City and take some of the Lost into Custody Edit
I'm sending you out on a mission of mercy today. I want you to get over to Skyway City and take some of the Lost into custody. If our doctors can examine them in person, they may be able to figure out how to reverse the process that has altered the Lost so drastically.
In addition to helping these people, you should be able to alleviate the chaos in Skyway City. Typical Lost hangouts are Hide Park and the Land of the Lost.
Mission Objective(s)
- Arrest Lost in Skyway City
- Defeat 15 Lost
Missing Mission Completion Text
Thanks. With any luck, we'll be able to help reverse the process that has turned these people into the Lost.
Go to Faultline and defeat Clockwork Edit
The Clockwork have been stepping up their activity in the Faultline region, stripping the abandoned buildings of every scrap of metal they can get to build more of themselves. The real worry is if they start to get into the dam. Clearing them out is a long term task, but every hero is needed to help keep their numbers down. The city needs heroes to go into Faultline and clear out Clockwork before they can do more harm.
The Faultline zone is a dangerous place. You may want to bring some allies with you. If you can destroy about 20 Clockwork, that should help out.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Clockwork in Faultline
- Defeat 20 Clockwork
Missing Mission Completion Text
Good job fighting those Clockwork. The last thing that stricken zone needs is those metal hungry machines eating away at everything.
Go to Skyway City and take down a few Lost Edit
I guess you've seen those Lost rectors preaching about their new order? It seems like the entire group is some sort of religious cult. In Skyway City, they've started swaying a lot of the homeless to their cause. I need you to get over to Skyway City and take down a few of the Lost. Maybe we can convince the rest of the homeless not to join up.
You can find Lost pretty easily in the Gruff or the Land of the Lost.
Mission Objective(s)
- Combat Lost in Skyway City
- Defeat 15 Lost
You have discouraged the homeless in Skyway City from joining the Lost
Many of the homeless are desperate for a little comfort; it's easy to see how they can be swayed by the rhetoric of the Lost. But I think you showed them that the Lost are on the wrong side of the law in Paragon City. Combined with the City Council's new outreach program, your efforts may keep a lot of the homeless from wandering down a dangerous path.

Hi, still waiting for birth certs, been 3 weeks now, I think they are being sent sea-mail by convict ship! (UK to Aus)
Anyway, I wanted to ask about rumours and hearsay: have any others been misled? Because my dad died when I was 14, and rarely spoke about his family, I have such a mishmash of hearsay to wade through. IE: we are related to Fletcher Christian (mutiny on the Bounty) through his grandmother: I think this is just wishful thinking...although I'd love it to be true, also rumours of gold smuggling ancestors, more likely to be true, meanwhile here I am unable to even work out which grandparent was born where!
good hunting to all, I love this list! Ty, South Australia.
Ps, any ideas about finding out about conscientious objectors, ww2, my dad was one, prbably locked up in Birmingham, UK. I don't know where to start or even if prisoners' records do get released. Any others with shady pasts out there?

Since rinoplasty is the hardest facial surgery there is & the more you want 2 fix, the more risk there is: Is/could a septum,tip & hump correction be 2 much (in 1 time)? Quick details: septum bit out of line (not noticable frontside/only from underview - 60:40 max. slightly annoying;allergies). Litle hump + 2 pointed tip/2 much projection; lateral view. The more U want 2 fix the more risks/chances of: discommunication,complications,not satisfide with the final result. What would be wise?
Is It Too Much To Fix Septum, Hump, and Tip In One Surgery?
Doctor Answers 6
Reconstructive rhinoplasty
Fine to do all at once
Every procedure you mentioned is fine to do during the same surgery, and actually preferable to doing multiple surgeries.
Septum, hump, and nasal tip SHOULD be addressed at single operation!
You are correct in stating that nose surgery is the hardest surgery to perform, but the cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries are almost ALWAYS performed together. Doing them separately DOUBLES whatever (minimal) risks there are with either operation, not to mention having to take off work, exercise, and activities for a second time! Since all of the nasal elements work together as a unit, all experienced rhinoplasty surgeons not only are comfortable with doing all of these together, but recommend it!
Since the septal work is reconstructive, insurance reimbursement is common (at least in the US), and separating the cosmetic from the reconstructive surgeries can have financial impacts outside the actual surgical recommendations. You should know clearly who pays for what, and if there are any "hidden" or "sent-later" bills from anesthesia providers, for example. it may actually cost less to have two separate operations, but that is the ONLY reason that anyone might recommend two procedures.
In the US, I perform only elective cosmetic procedures in our accredited office surgical facility, including rhinoplasty. If there is an easily-correctable breathing problem (septum or turbinates), I do so without any additional charge above and beyond the cosmetic surgery charges already assessed. I do not bill insurance for any "extra," nor do I reduce the bill since some of the "problem" is functional or reconstructive in nature.
You should check with your insurance provider, or your health coverage provisions to determine the best course of action. But an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon or ENT specialist is the first step, and he or she will know how best to advise you on the rest. Best wishes!

Fixing multiple things in a rhinoplasty
in rhinoplasty there is a starting point and a destination. a surgeon needs to carefully evaluate the problems and design a plan to correct them. the combination you mentioned is a very typical. i would be more concerned if those problems existed and a surgeon wanted to address them in more than one setting.
Rhinoplasty Palm Beach
All of the items you mention are not only safe to accomplish in one procedure, but preferable to perform at once. To reshape the nose and its components, the general protocol is to surgically isolate the portion you desire to change. This allows the surgeon to visualize the component and repair or reshape it accurately. Because the component has been separated from surrounding tissue (mobilized), upon re-draping of that tissue on the corrected structure, the new shape will influence the contour of that surrounding tissue, rather than surrounding tissue, if unmobilized, returning the corrected structure back to its original shape. It is easier, once parts of the nose are exposed, to mobilize and fix everything at the same time rather than go back later through scar tissue and isolate and correct a single part. Rhinoplasty is not necessarily the "hardest" facial surgery, but because millimeters make a difference and every nose is truly unique, the procedure demands precision, judgment, and appropriate expectations from both physician and patient.

The practice is part of SAP's broader strategy to increase the number of women recruited into science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, roles. The company's goal is to have 25 percent of its leadership team represented by women by 2017.
In particular, the defense process represents an effort to help the company uncover unconscious bias — a human trait many human resources experts say supports the gender imbalance in STEM jobs. A 2013 U.S. Census Bureau report showed that men are hired at twice the rate of women for STEM roles, and a Global STEM Alliance report released in late January 2015 found that women still represent less than 30 percent of the world's science researchers....

www.bloomberg.com/news - "A Business School Dean Explains Why So Few Women Have a Job Like Hers"
Most MBA programs are run by men, and the reason goes back to the 1980s
Alison Davis-Blake, dean of the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, is used to being lonely.
"I have been the first at everything I've done in academic leadership," says Davis-Blake. She adds that she was the first woman to be the chair of her department at the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business, the first female senior associate dean at McCombs, the first female dean of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, and now the first woman to run Ross. Bloomberg Business asked Davis-Blake why she's had to be first so many times, and what it's like to be one of the only women camping out in a business school's corner office. The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
Why are you one of only 10 female deans at the top 60 business schools?

Absent that outcome interdependence, I am much more likely to evaluate others on their likeability, which is partly determined by how they conform to role expectations, including gender role expectations.
A Stanford doctoral student, Peter Belmi, and I have a manuscript in preparation summarizing three studies showing this effect: outcome dependence changes how people weigh competence versus likeability when evaluating others. Likeability is more important when study participants' outcomes don't depend on the other person, and competence becomes comparatively more important when they do...

Edurne Pasaban Lizarribar (born August 1, 1973) is a Basque Spanish mountaineer, from Tolosa, in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country, Spain. On May 17, 2010, she became the 21st person and the first woman to climb all of the fourteen eight-thousander peaks in the World. Her first 8,000 peak had been achieved 9 years earlier, on May 23, 2001, when she climbed to the summit of Mount Everest.
Last week I had the pleasure of teaching and sharing a class with Custodia Cabanas at the IE Business School in Madrid. Custodia is an expert in leadership and team management. She has been working at the IE Business School since 1989, and lectures on the school's MBA, IMBA and Executive MBA programs.
The class we gave together was for a group involved in the AMP program. The aim of the session, entitled "A Leader's Vision", was to show people how develop and follow through on a personal and/or professional Vision. My contribution involved explaining how I developed my Vision to climb the planet's 14 eight-thousanders.
I studied Engineering and when I finished my degree I started working as an engineer in the family business. One day, however, my life was to change forever and instead of continuing in the family tradition, I made the decision to devote my life to climbing mountains in the Himalayas, which is what I really had a passion for. It was then that I was able to create a Vision: I wanted to pursue a professional career in the world of mountaineering.
It is very important with any business endeavour to know exactly what your Vision is, and we need to define it clearly. For the projects in my life so far, I have normally tried to define a Vision to take me through the following 5 years.
When I decided to devote my life to mountaineering, the first thing I did was to analyse the situation very carefully and then work out an action plan. Similarly, in business, it is very important to identify your or your company's values before drawing up an action plan. Once these have been established, you can go ahead and start working on a plan.
When I meet this inner struggle, I use this maxim: "When you have to choose between two paths, always follow your heart".

As work organizations become increasingly gender diverse, existing theoretical models have failed to explain why such diversity can have a negative impact on idea generation. Using evidence from two group experiments, this paper tests theory on the effects of imposing a political correctness (PC) norm, one that sets clear expectations for how men and women should interact, on reducing interaction uncertainty and boosting creativity in mixed-sex groups. Our research shows that men and women both experience uncertainty when asked to generate ideas as members of a mixed-sex work group: men because they may fear offending the women in the group and women because they may fear having their ideas devalued or rejected. most group creativity research begins with the assumption that creativity is unleashed by removing normative constraints, but our results show that the PC norm promotes rather than suppresses the free expression of ideas by reducing the uncertainty experienced by both sexes in mixed-sex work groups and signaling that the group is predictable enough to risk sharing more—and more-novel—ideas. Our results demonstrate that the PC norm, which is often maligned as a threat to free speech, may play an important role in promoting gender parity at work by allowing demographically heterogeneous work groups to more freely exchange creative ideas.

A lot of ink has been spilled on these topics, and both individuals and organizations have focused on gender gaps in business and other sectors. Can anything more be said? The 50th anniversary of the admission of women to Harvard Business School's MBA program inspired us to find out—specifically, to learn what HBS graduates had to say about work and family and how their experiences, attitudes, and decisions might shed light on prevailing controversies.
about four hours ago
We're excited to launch Female Founder Stories, a collection of interviews with 40 of Y Combinator's female alumnae. We asked them about things like how they got started, their experience at Y Combinator, their experience as female founders, and what they wish they'd known when they were younger. As you'll see, their answers are fascinating, both individually and in their variety.
This is the biggest collection of interviews with female startup founders I've seen in one place, and as a result we have an unprecedented opportunity to notice patterns in their experiences (and just as interesting, where there aren't patterns).
One of the most consistent patterns is how many founders wished they'd learned to program when they were younger...
The percentage of startups we accepted with female founders was identical to the percentage who applied. (And this happened organically; we didn't check the numbers until after.) Which implies the percentage of female founders we fund will increase in proportion to the percentage of female applicants...

Paintball Barrels 101
One of the most commonly argued parts of a paintball gun is the paintball barrel. With an almost unlimited selection of lengths, sizes, colors and brands available, what will work best for you? Without a doubt accuracy is the most important factor for a barrel. If you can't deliver the ball and hit the target, what's the point?
We try to work through some of questions people send us when frustrated while shopping for a barrel. The most common question we get is about accuracy.
An accurate paintball barrel can change your game
"What is the most accurate barrel for my Tippmann A5?" or "What's the best sniper barrel for my Spyder?"
While we can't directly answer that, we can build off of our experiences. Let's start by breaking down a barrel in detail.
Barrel length vs. Accuracy:
Everyone has a different idea about what the perfect length should be. Or, they have a range that it has to fall between. I think it's commonly agreed that the barrel should be at least 8-10 inches or the accuracy suffers severely. Anything shorter than that and your velocity will have to get turned up, resulting in more potential ball breaks Although, some front players may have reason to use a shorter barrel for a smaller target signature.
8-10 inches is needed to let the gasses in your paintball gun accelerate the paintball to correct velocities without delivering a violent punch of higher settings. We can get a barrel length that's too long or a paintball barrel that produces too much drag and have the opposite effect of slowing down the ball.
Most people agree that after 14-16 inches the barrel is negatively effecting velocity and accuracy. Many of the paintball sniper barrels are longer than this and do quite well from my experiences. However, you need to again weigh the need of having to turn up your velocity and increasing your chance of a ball break, to the usefulness of a long barrel. There are a few 21 inch(Core Brand) barrels available and Tippmann markets an 18+ inch sniper barrel.
General barrel lengths:
- 10-12 inch barrel for front player
- 12-14 inch for mid-player
- 14-16 inch for rear player
- (Per application for woodsball)
Internal size/Inserts vs. Accuracy:
Paintballs are said to be 0.68 inches in diameter. We all know it comes down to more than that. In the world of needing an extremely accurate barrel, we search out the perfect fit for our application. Unfortunately, we can't always use the same paintballs and even if we could, there are too many factors that can affect the size. Humidity, age and differences in a manufacturers consistencies can affect the size of paintballs.
This great industry has a solution for dealing with slight differences. Paintball barrels with changeable inserts or barrels that come with different back halves of internal sizes. Some of these are available in a kit and you are given the option of not only changing the internal bore size but also to change the length of the barrel.
A good paintball to barrel bore fit will allow the ball to not fall through the barrel but be pushed through by applying a light amount of breath to the end. That's right, take off the barrel, pop a ball in it and lightly blow it through. It should blow through very lightly and not take much effort to pass though. If you are noticing less accuracy you can try to tighten it up. On the opposite side of that, if your noticing ball breaks, try to use a looser fit.
An internal surface that's too smooth can create more friction due to a larger surface to surface contact area. This can be demonstrated by running your hand, at a 45 degree andle, down the edge of a table vs. running it flat down the top. The more contact you have equals more resistance.
Porting/Rifling/Muzzle breaks:
Porting is an important part of a paintball barrel. The ports allow the air pressures in font of and behind the ball to equalize before it exit's the gun. This generally provides a more accurate shot and less of a "pop" noise.
Rifling is done to different ways. The rifling can be designed to try to put a spin on the ball. This generally isn't optimal for the typically less than round paintballs we are used to getting. With seams and dimples it will cause an inconsistency from shot to shot.
The second example of rifling is done to provide a more stable surface for the ball to travel through will minimizing resistance. It's done by machining straight or slightly curved lands into the barrels surface. This is the only type of rifling you should consider.
The use of muzzle breaks are similar to porting but only provide the equalization all at the end of the barrel. They are designed to cut down on the noise and pressure surge that can build up. The idea of porting is a smooth transition vs. an all at once release. A muzzle break can be used together with a ported barrel, but most of the time it's an appearance thing.
We get a lot of questions about the Tippmann Flatline and the BT Apex paintball barrels. Both of which are truly unique in design and function. Loads of people blast the Flatline for accuracy but, you can't argue with its reach. I have played in several scenario events and brought along a Flatline and a "more accurate" barrel. If your using an A5 gun you know how easy it is to swap barrels. When opponents are far away I would shoot through the Flatline. When fighting at closer ranges, I would quick switch in the other more accurate barrel.
The BT Apex is a barrel that allows you to adjust the spin on the ball to curve in what ever direction you need to shoot. There are claims of people shooting someone hiding completely behind a bunker. Our team has had very little experience with one of these, either on the receiving end or the delivery. I would imagine effective use of this type of barrel would take some serious practice.
Dress up/Appearance:
Many paintballers just want a barrel to complete a mil-sim or military replica appearance. This can be everything from a silencer type of look to a vented barrel shroud. Some guns like the Tippmann X7 offer specific gun kits. The AK47, M16 or MP5 are popular appearance kits. Most people are willing to sacrifice a little accuracy to complete this look.
As we covered before, muzzle breaks are mostly considered an appearance item and less efficient at equalizing the muzzle pressures than effective porting.
Some paintball barrel sniper modifications are strictly an appearance preference. From camouflage and ghillie covers to longer barrels and "bull" appearing barrels.
Paintball barrel brands and applications:
Paintball gun manufacturers have been making aftermarket barrels for the guns they sell. These can be great choices for keeping your gun "factory" upgraded. The Smart Parts Freak barrel series is an example of this. Most of these manufactures build the barrels with threads that fit their guns and many others.
There are a lot of paintball barrel manufacturers that build barrels for the most popular paintball guns. Some of the more popular barrel brands are:
- Dye
- JT Barrels
- Stiffi
- Armson
- Smart Parts(out of business)
- Kingman Spyder
- Tippmann
- Lapco
- Empire
There are several adaptors available for fitting one thread of barrel to another type of gun. This can come in handy if you have two different guns with different barrel threads.
Summing it all up:
Choosing the right or best paintball barrel isn't so much a science as much as it is a personal preference. If your happy with the barrel your using now or the one that came from the factory on your gun, stick with it. If your hunting for something aftermarket, choose a paintball barrel that will fit your application. That may be part of a mil-sim look or a specific length for speedball. However, length and bore should be your main considerations if your looking for your most accurate fit. Owning several barrels to choose from to fit the conditions maybe a wise choice.

Copart Review – Is Copart.com a Scam?
The Copart review shows that this
is an auction website that s dedicated to buying and selling cars. The bidding service is open to anyone in the
US but may be prohibited in some states. In those states you can hire a broker to
bid for you. There are some deals to be had here although Auctionresource.org seems to be a more popular choice for finding a good
deal on a vehicle.
This website has been around for
awhile but has been open to the public for the last few years. It was originally open only to brokers and
dealers. You can find some good deals on this site but you should know that the cars are largely coming from
insurance situation. This means that most of the vehicles that you find here have either been stolen and trashed
or in some sort of accident.
The Copart.com review shows that
registration is free and allows you to buy one vehicle with a value up to $1000. If you want to buy a car that
has a higher value than you need to opt in for the premier membership option which will cost you $200 plus a
fully refundable $400 deposit. If you are interested in expanding your buying power you have to be able to
provide a business license.
Basically to get your foot in the
door you have to lay out $600 which may be worth it if you can find a car that is worth the money. If you live
nearby the storage facility you will have the opportunity to view the inventory before the auction day. If you
do not live nearby you can pay a licensed mechanic to go take a look for you.
The Website
The Copart review shows that the
website is relatively easy to use. It is well laid out and the vehicles that are being auctioned are broken down
into categories.
The contact information that is
provided is comprehensive. There is a phone number posted for different departments and emails.
What Other People Have To
On nico.com a car buying forum a
user posted a question about the validity of copart.com "I didn't realize they opened up auctioning to the public. However, I worked with them closely in
the insurance biz and they pretty much deal with insurance salvage. I'd reckon that any complete car in
relatively good condition was likely a theft recovery (that occurred after the settlement was made with the
insured). Most will probably be in decent shape, and depending on how the vehicle was stolen, may require
some minor repairs (locks, ignition, etc)."
I would say this is a
reliable site that you can use to find a decent deal on a car. If you have the two hundred dollars to invest
in searching for a car than it may be well worth the effort, although dealers will benefit most from this
Subscription Price:
Number of Items:
Overall, the Copart review shows
that this is a viable site and is not a scam, however Auctionresource.org seems to be a more popular choice for finding a good
deal on a vehicle.

Yes, because (to my understanding) it doesn't have a battery backup, as you suspected.
> I've seen cases where ntp will not set the clock if the
> difference between the system time and the actual time is too great.
I don't think it's that, because it seems to happen randomly, not every time. I think that sometimes
NTP comes up before the net connection, and then fails because uk.pool.ntp.org (in my case, yours is
obviously different) isn't resolvable.
I have found it much more reliable using a local NTP server on the LAN interface rather than getting
time from <something>.pool.ntp.org. Might be worth giving that a try?

Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin (www.beg.utexas.edu).
AAPG 2003 Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah, May 1114, 2003
in Style of Minibasin Evolution in the Sigsbee Area
Bruno C. Vendeville, Virginie Gaullier, Lies Loncke, and Jean Mascle
Minibasins are polygonal to subcircular depocenters subsiding into thick salt and surrounded by interconnected salt ridges. Actively subsiding, minibasins deform the seafloor, their planform geometry clearly illustrated on multibeam bathymetric data. Young (Plio-Pleistocene) minibasins are present above allochthonous salt in the Sigsbee area (US Gulf of Mexico) and autochthonous Messinian evaporites in the eastern Nile deep-sea fan. In both regions, minibasins form polygonal bathymetric lows having accumulated thick sediments (locally > 6 km Sigsbee area, > 2 km Nile area) bounded by salt ridges affected by extension or strike slip. In both basins minibasin subsidence and salt-ridge growth started soon after deposition of the first overburden strata, minibasin growth being partly controlled by radial spreading and thin-skinned extension above the salt. However, present-day map patterns of the two basins differ. In the Keathley Canyon area (US GOM), minibasins have subcircular planforms, and salt ridges and overlying grabens show little or no preferred orientation. By contrast, minibasins in the Nile deep-sea fan are restricted to a narrow deformation corridor and are bounded by two main families of salt ridges: NE-SW ridges are currently widening and rising, whereas NW-SE ridges are shortened and reactivated as strike-slip faults guiding an overall northwestward escape. This structural fabric results from recent collision of the front of the prograding wedge against a large seamount acting as a distal buttress that is preventing further northeastward spreading, causing reactivation of a minibasin network initially similar to that of the Sigsbee area in contractional, extensional and strike-slip regimes.

Luigi's Mansion
Review by Cube Critic
"A fantastic installment of the Mario series"
Luigi's Mansion has rightfully secured its position as the most popular launch game for the Nintendo Gamecube. The premiere Mario game of the Gamecube does not contain Mario as a playable character, nor as a character that appears outside of cinematic scenes. Instead, the player plays as the most neglected character in the Mario series, Luigi. Was this a good move by Nintendo? In my opinion: definitely. I've heard the same crap about Nintendo fans crying about how Luigi is always overshadowed by his brother and until now I didn't care. Luigi's Mansion checks in with the influence of any other Mario game. The story is rather simple but entertaining. Luigi supposedly wins a mansion in a contest that he didn't enter and upon reaching it, he finds that his brother has been kidnapped by the boos, a group of puffy and white ghosts. With the help of professor E. Gadd, Luigi must use a hybrid vacuum/flashlight and a Gameboy horror as a map to track down the ghosts and rescue his brother. Collecting every item and ghost in the game is not required but the totals run up to 23 portrait ghosts, 50 boos, and dozens of keys. Elemental badges like Fire, Ice, and Water along the way add to the fun of using the vacuum. Players that want to rush through the game could probably complete it in a day or two but don't expect a good grade in the end. Your grade is based upon the money that you collect. Luigi's Mansion lives up to a fine display of what the Gamecube is capable of and continues the fine streak of excellence in Mario gaming.
Game play-9
Luigi's Mansion contains good, solid fun. The irregularly small controller may confuse players at first with the control stick to control Luigi and the C-stick to control the flashlight, but it's not before long that the player becomes accustomed. Exploring the dozens of rooms in the mansion left a promising feeling of excitement, even before purchasing the game. It was destined to be fun.
There is no doubt that Luigi's Mansion was designed to show off what the Gamecube was capable of doing. No longer do the characters appear as arranged polygons but as realistic figures that move like real people. Luigi is built like an actual person and I cannot put enough emphasis on the realistic flickering of candles or the shadows that reflect in the shadowy hallways. The cinematic scenes seal the deal and I believe that it is safe to say that this is one of the most beautiful looking games on any Nintendo system.
Between Luigi humming the background music and the dramatic, yet frantic music played in a battle against a boo, Luigi's Mansion's sound track should prove to be one that will be placed in the CD players of diehard gaming/music fanatics. The only real complaint in this department is the lack of verbosity. Luigi makes a couple of sounds and is able to call out to his brother but other than that, the only other character that speaks is Professor E. Gadd in broken Banjo-Kazooie-like gibberish.
Buy/Rent/Avoid Factor
Buy. This may surprise some of the Gamecube critics out there but Luigi's Mansion should be owned by anyone that owns a Gamecube. Period. Many complain that the game is too short and can be completed in only a few hours. Yes, true, but that is only if you neglect the fun of the game and race straight to the end without collecting anything. It is still a short game none the less and can be fully completed in well under a week. Not buying this game would be like neglecting Super Mario Brothers for NES, Super Mario World for SNES, Super Mario 64 for N64, and to a lesser extent, Mario Tennis for Virtual Boy.
An addictive but short adventure that will keep many players intertwined with its basic game play. Perhaps the best overall game available for the Gamecube at launch and perhaps for the short 2001 year in which Gamecube exists.sts.

The bonhomie between India and Afghanistan has scarcely been lacking ever since Hamid Karzai took over the presidency after the fall of the Taliban government in Kabul. However, it has been entirely the prerogative of the Afghanistan government to either downplay or go over the moon about this friendship, depending on how its equations were with Pakistan at that particular moment. There has been no dramatic change in Afghanistans relations with Pakistan lately, except for an intensification of the border tensions and that sinking feeling that Afghanistan will once again be vulnerable to Pakistans machinations after the draw-down in 2014. That feeling has brought back into focus Afghanistans relationship with India, and the hopes of balancing the undue advantages that Pakistan enjoys in the country by way of a common border and its shadow warriors, who now stand a chance of winning political power. Mr Karzai, on the last leg of his presidency, knows that the only way to ensure this is through deepening Indias involvement in his country and getting into Afghanistan as many players as he possibly can. Hence his determination to bind half the world in strategic partnerships with Afghanistan while getting them to commit to the long-term financing of Afghanistans development. But the best way to ensure that the players remain committed is by giving them a direct stake in Afghanistans peace and development. Little surprise, therefore, that Mr Karzai has been so busy selling his country as an investment destination. In India, too, he held out a red carpet for a friend in the mining and fertilizer sectors.
The renewed focus on India also reflects the growing anxiety of the non-Pashtun political forces in Afghanistan over Taliban ascendancy and their keenness to keep India involved. The moment presents a challenge for India since it is aware that its involvement is bound to escalate tensions with Pakistan and undermine its recent reconciliation moves with its neighbour. But then India has already evolved a middle path in this journey by enhancing its soft power in Afghanistan through development efforts and downplaying its strategic partnership with it. India has also retained ties with Iran, despite severe pressures. India should stick to this path without getting waylaid.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I am sorry this happened
you could lodge a complaint with the BBB and attorney general office
you could also file without a lawyer in small claims court saving on lawyer fees
if you prefer a local lawyer, I can suggest 2 excellent directories for finding a good consumer protection lawyer
the lawyer would work on commission fee basis
martindale.com and findlaw.com are the directories I and other lawyers and experts use
Is that clear and acceptable?
the company headquarter address is SALVAGE WORLD 401 E Las Olas Blvd Suite 130-344 Fort Lauderdale Florida 33301Main: +1(NNN) NNN-NNNN| Fax: +1(NNN) NNN-NNNN/p>
You would pursue the claim in the state and county where either you reside or company is located
and may enter that location in either directory to find local consumer protection lawyers to select
but frankly if you file in small claims court, you can often win on your own
what would you recommend?
and get either a settlement or a judgment!
I would recommend small claims court and a complaint to the department of consumer affairs
save on lawyer fees!
I wish you the best.
where do i go to file the claim?
here is filing information and addresses
I wish you the best
It is an easy process
Just collect your evidence for court
so you can explain what happened and have proof!
i am in Alexandria Va
where defendant out of state then
you are best off suing where the defendant is located
since defendant may not have assets in your state
in that case, given distance and travel involved
suggest having a consumer protection lawyer in defendant state
working on commission though
so you pay nothing
and lawyer only paid if and when recovers
typically 30%
focus on consumer protection and collection firms
Kindly click on a positive rating for the answer
if I may clarify anything, of course ask me

Mike Singletary was on point throughout the game, whether it was challenging the "12 men on the field" call and winning a reversal or calling a timeout with 1:32 left in the third quarter to give his defense a needed rest and a pep talk. Remember, this was his first game as permanent head coach. Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, defensive-line coach Jim Tomsula, pass-rush coach Al Harris and secondary coach Johnnie Lynn all did well.
It was an emotional start to the regular season and an important victory over a divisional opponent. The play of San Francisco's defense was uplifting for the team but of a troubling nature was the success of Arizona's eight- and nine-man defensive fronts in stopping Gore. Other teams will see this game as a template for how to hold down this supposed power running team. Offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye has his work cut out for him.

Parents often wonder if organized sports offer a safe way for their preschoolers to be active. Some doctors and psychologists feel that young children can benefit from well-planned sports classes offered by park districts and other groups. Others think that it's healthier for a child to have a lot of active free play and "family time" instead—hiking, sledding, playing catch. Here are some questions to ask before you enroll your preschooler in a sports program.

text: Right. It must be right, Sara says so. Police say cop lied to hide gun fowl up Yomiuri Shimbun A 32-year-old police sergeant has confessed to falsely reporting being assaulted Monday by a gang in Totsuka Ward, Yokohama, to cover up his negligent discharge of his firearm, police said Friday. According to the Kanagawa prefectural police, Tsutomu Hirabayashi was on duty at the Totsuka Station Higashi-Exit police box that day when he received information around 7:30 p.m. that a person had been spotted acting suspiciously. When Hirabayashi arrived at the area where the suspect had been sighted, he drew his revolver, according to the police. While looking around, Hirabayashi was surprised by the sound of chickens flapping their wings when he shined his flashlight on their coop, and negligently discharged his sidearm, they added. Hirabayashi then requested backup over his radio, the police said. When reinforcements arrived at the scene, Hirabayashi told them that he had fired a warning shot at a gang of four armed people in self-defense, the police said.

Alderson Woodwind
Musical Instrument Repairs in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire
I have more than 30 years' trade experience and have repaired instruments for schools and local authorities in Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley, Sheffield, Wakefield, Lincoln and more besides.
Music has been a big part of my life since an early age; whilst at school I played the cornet and the French horn for the Doncaster Youth Orchestra. I later earned a diploma in woodwind repair and learned to play the entire family of instruments. In 1984, I began work as a repairer, further developing my skills at Dawkes Music.

My Future
If I could do what I love most, I would own and operate my own fitness gym. As a child I was heavily involved in sports. Towards the end of high school I joined the power-lifting team and fell in love with lifting weights. As I continue to exercise, I have spread my interests from just lifting to other aspects as well for overall fitness: like running, swimming, biking, etc. To be able to run my own gym would give me the opportunity to help others, young and old, fall in love with physical health as much as I have. I feel like I am on the right path to making this dream a reality. As of now, I am an Exercise Science major with a specialization as a health fitness instructor. The first goal I would need to meet is finishing my degree. My next goal would be becoming a personal trainer, so I could learn how a gym operates and gain in field experience. Next I would earn an associate's degree in business, so that I would not only be capable of performing the fitness side of the job, but be able to manage my gym financially as well. I know owning a gym is not going to be something that changes the entire world, but to be able to change the world of the people in my community and help them live happier, healthier lives would be what I would love the most.
