Skip to comments.Junior gun licence numbers revealed (Australia)
Posted on 04/06/2014 1:52:23 PM PDT by naturalman1975
SUBURBAN schoolchildren as young as 12 years old are applying for and getting gun licences in their hundreds, new figures show.
The approved youngsters, including pre-teens, can legally shoot rifles, shotguns and handguns under supervision.
Victoria Police approved 1028 licences in metropolitan areas last year more than 270 were granted to children aged 12 to 14.
Junior gun owners live in some of the states most exclusive suburbs including Prahran and span as far as the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong.
Epping is Melbournes young gun capital with 211 permits given the green light to under 18s.
Victorian chief executive of the Sporting Shooters Association Jack Wegman said the legitimate use of firearms was not a concern to the community.
(Excerpt) Read more at heraldsun.com.au ...
We certainly have some restrictions to deal with, including some very dumb restrictions. It's harder to own a gun than it should be. But it's really not that hard.
I will say that I find this very surprising - I would not have expected the state government to do this, and am heartened by it. A more-or-less official acknowledgement that this is a legitimate sporting activity for children surprises me - until now, the government attitude has been more along the lines of "Keep quiet and we'll let you do it. But we don't want a fuss from the anti-gun people so try not to attract attention."
My daughter, who lives in Canberra, laughs when people say Australia is gun free since there seem to be shootings in Sydney on the news all the time. It seems they neglect to consider all the illegal guns smuggled into the country.
To say nothing about being forced to give up your Ruger 10-22, everything you got to keep is now on a list, and they will be back to take them any day now.
They do, but there are also millions of guns held legally. It's important to point that out, because if the only guns out there were the illegal ones in the hands of criminals, calls for further gun control might make more sense.
But legally held firearms are rarely used in crimes. We do have laws that say people with serious criminal histories, or recent minor criminal histories may be prevented from legally owning guns. But law abiding citizens can generally be trusted to remain law abiding.
No, I'm not. I'm just not going to claim it's worse than it is while I try to make it better.
To say nothing about being forced to give up your Ruger 10-22, everything you got to keep is now on a list, and they will be back to take them any day now.
I've never given up a firearm in my life. I've never had to. I've been limited in my choice of what I could but certainly - I happened to want the SLR I've got as my main long gun, because it's what I was trained to use in the service - if I'd wanted an M-16, or an AR-15, I'd have been out of luck, but I wasn't after that. And I think that's wrong and rather stupid.
But I don't fear having my weapons taken. If a government had wanted to do that, quite seriously, they could have in the late 1990s. There was overwhelming public support for a near total ban on firearms, and politically they could have done it. They didn't, and I do not see any reason at all to suppose they are likely to try in the future, because we are moving further and further away from that type of mindset, not closer and closer to it.
Australia rocks, BTW. Went to Perth and Freemantle back in 1994. LOVED it.
"SUBURBAN schoolchildren as young as 12 years old are applying for and getting gun licences in their hundreds,..."
Why do they have to wait until they're in their hundreds to get their licences...if they can apply as young as 12?
That sentence is correct ... yourinterpretation is wrong.
Yet they are all LICENSED! That means the government may confiscate them at any time.
By the way, I was legally hunting in Michigan at the age of 11, fired my first rifle at the age of seven, owned my first 22 LR and shotgun at the age of 11, and had my first center fire rifle at the age of 13 all with no approval or knowledge of any government.
Do You get to shoot much Skydancer?
Just pellet guns. Go out into the bush to some farms and hunt mice and stuff - rodents and whatnot - they tear up the farmers grain/corn bins. Some of us make a day of it.
Sounds like fun.
Do they even have snakes in Australia? Surely they do.
That would make some fun .410 Hunting.
Snakes?! Oh G-d yeah! The Australian brown snake is very deadly! Hangs out in the bush, peoples back yards - four feet long is not uncommon and some are longer.
On Guam they had those Creep Brown Snakes. They have been trying for years to get rid of them.
You ever had to face on down? :0
Surprisingly enough - the cats down here are pretty good at killing them. Don't know how they do it but they do it ....
Ping to Armed Children in Australia.
Our membership certainly is starting to reflect a younger demographic which we think is very good.
We think 12 is a good age to introduce shooters (to the sport). Twelve is a recognised age for being on the brink of that youthfulness rather than childhood. Its a good age.
Mr Wegman believed numbers were increasing because more parents were deciding to arm their offspring for hunting and target shooting.
Sounds perfectly natural to me...as long as they follow the laws about gun safety and don't leave them lying around loaded.
Its really laudable, freedom us being guaranteed by
institutional training and culture.
The torch of freedom is being passed.

Question: Several years ago a friend of mine in the Communication
Several years ago a friend of mine in the Communication Sciences department produced a diagnostic test of language problems that is still widely used. A score on her scale is obtained simply by counting the number of language constructions (e.g., plural, negative, passive) that the child produces correctly in response to specific prompts from the person administering the test. The test has a mean of 48 and a standard deviation of 7. Parents have trouble understanding the meaning of a score on this scale, and my friend wanted to convert the scores to a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 10 (to make them more like the kinds of grades parents are used to). How could she have gone about her task?

Reason for hand flapping in children with autism
It is called stimming mostly all children with autism do this it helps them calm down if they are nervous or even sometimes out of a habit.....
A lot of people do stimming almost everyday like it you bit your nails or play with your hair or tap a pencil/pen over and over so really it is not just children with autism
Oh wow.. I never ever really knew or thought about that, Epiffany.. thanks so much for sharing that bit with me!
have you spoken to your doctor on how to help with current things your son does?
My son is a big time hand flapper when he gets over stimulated. He doesn't really stim in any other way, except when he gets upset sometimes he will hit himself. We've been working on that one!
when our son used to do that we would just hold his hands and sit with him and try to talk with him about hitting himself and we gave him his own little pillow to hit when he was mad always something soft it worked for us now when he gets mad he screams
thats right its his way of coping
We definitely all have some type of coping mechanism to calm ourselves down. Good bit of info. thanks

Remote Forensic Investigation for Resolving Financial Fraud
: 16 March, 2010
(New Product)
Trusteer Flashlight provides financial institutions with the ability to perform malware analysis, detect the source of fraud and carry out remote investigations
Trusteer, a provider of secure browsing services, has announced Trusteer Flashlight. This new remote fraud investigation and mitigation service identifies the attack source on a customer's machine, gathers samples, and can reverse engineer the mechanism used by the malware to commit fraud. Findings enable banks and other organizations to prevent future losses, block subsequent attacks, and takedown command/control servers.
Trusteer also announced today that CEO Mickey Boodaei will present a session on 'Financial Malware in the UK - New techniques for Defense' at the e-crime congress 2010 on March 16 at the Victoria Park Plaza Hotel in London. His presentation will reveal findings from reverse engineering performed by Trusteer's research organization on the Silon financial Trojan which targets UK-based financial institutions.
Online banking fraud involving the electronic transfer of funds has been on the rise since 2007 and rose to over US$120 million in the third quarter of 2009, according to estimates presented at the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Almost all of the incidents reported to the FDIC related to malware on online banking customers' PCs. In the UK the situation is similar with online banking fraud losses up 55% to £39m in first half of 2009 according to Financial Fraud Action UK (formerly the anti-fraud unit of banking payments association APACS).
In order to protect customer bank accounts from being victimized, financial institutions are faced with the daunting task of identifying malware variants, analyzing them, and using the findings to mitigate future losses. Acquiring this data from customer computers is complex, labor intensive and an Internet scale challenge.
To enable financial institutions to respond in real-time to financial fraud, the Trusteer Flashlight service can instantly initiate a remote investigation into an attack. The affected customer simply needs to install Trusteer's Rapport desktop forensic and protection software, which immediately identifies the malware, or in the case of an unidentified variant, detects suspicious malware behavior and lifts a sample or samples from the computer. These are then examined and reverse engineered by Trusteer's fraud and malware experts to identify the mechanism used to commit fraud.
Following the analysis, the financial institution receives a full report on the malware, the complete source code for future reference, and detailed recommendations on how to detect and block future attacks. In addition, Trusteer reports the malware to all desktop security vendors for industry-wide protection, performs ongoing analysis of associated command and control servers, and submits them to takedown services. Trusteer Flashlight includes ongoing consulting by Trusteer's security experts to help mitigate future threats.
"Financial institutions and their customers are being targeted by purpose built malware variants designed to evade detection and commit online fraud specifically against their brand," said Amit Klein, CTO of Trusteer. "The Trusteer Flashlight service enables banks to counter strike these targeted attacks. By performing a forensic investigation on the victimized computer, Trusteer rapidly provides financial institutions the information they need to mitigate any additional financial losses from a zero day malware variant."
Trusteer Flashlight is available immediately from Trusteer and its business partners worldwide as part of the Rapport offering, as an add-on module, or as a standalone solution.

when things go wrong
I attempted to make marshmallows. This probably would have been a straightforward process if I'd been willing to follow one of the recipes that calls for (high-fructose) corn syrup. But I am stubborn, and trying to stick to my principles, and so I gave it a shot using sugar alone. Ironically, I don't think that was the problem. I think I used too much water to soften the gelatin. At any rate, the marshmallows turned out like marshmallow-flavored Jello.
And then I botched an upside-down pear tart that I should be able to make with my eyes closed. Too many pears. Too much sugar. And I turned my back on the stove for a fraction of a second too long. The finished result? Too sweet and too burnt.
So what do you do when everything goes wrong in the kitchen? You can run out for more gelatin and more pears and try again. Or you could take a deep breath, clean the mixer, and put the tart pan in the sink to soak. Take out your knife, your cutting board, and your favorite saucepan, and make a simple, forgiving pasta sauce. You can tackle the disasters again tomorrow.
Pasta Amatriciana
Not authentic, but straightforward and tasty.
(Serves one, with leftovers)
Take one slice of thick-cut bacon and cut it into small pieces. Saute in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon turns crispy. Dice a small yellow onion and add it to the pan. Stir. Add a dash of red chili flakes and a splash of red wine or vodka. Cook until the onions are translucent, then add a sixteen-ounce can of peeled whole tomatoes, roughly cut up. Let the mixture reduce at a simmer until it becomes a thick sauce.
Put a big pot of salted water on to boil. When the water has reached a rolling boil, add half a pound of short pasta - penne, rigatoni, whatever you have on hand. Cook until al dente, then toss with the sauce. Serve with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and finely chopped fresh parsley.

I've also had my share of run-ins with making marshmallow. I am freakin' terrified because I am gearing up to make marshmallow bunnies for Easter - last year they went well and everyone loved 'em, so I am now feeling the performance pressure.

On the marshmallows - the light or dark corn syrup you buy in stores isn't HFCS, which is an industrial product unavailable, in its pure form, to the public. So while I wouldn't call organic light corn syrup "healthy," the body will recognize the sugar in it as sugar (not fat, as in HFCS).
I hope I cleared up some confusion!
I've had bad cooking days where I had to throw out an attempt or two before I gave up and made a salad or pasta (two dishes it's hard to ruin). It's always frustrating.

Cakelaw - Marshmallow bunnies? How fun!
Karyn - Karo syrup is part regular corn syrup and part HFCS. I may hit the specialty stores and see if I can find glucose syrup instead.

Immigration amnesties
Barriers and border patrols complement amnesty in a coherent policy that creates incentives for illegal immigrants to self-select on the basis of ability in a way that benefits a rich host country. We consider the roles of barriers to migration and immigration amnesties in greater depth and, in particular, we examine the rich country's optimal policies. Encouraging self-selection is optimal under some, but not all, circumstances, because there are mixes of potential immigrants for which the cost of welfare migration is more than offset by the gains from productive workers enticed by a more lenient immigration policy. Furthermore, under plausible assumptions, the rich country's optimum may require a probabilistic rather than a certain amnesty to fine-tune the mix of migrants. Numerical examples illustrate that probabilistic or certain amnesties, addressed to different partitions of the migrant population, are each optimal as the mix of potential migrants changes.

Katy Perry named highest earning female musician
Katy Perry has been named the highest earning woman in music for 2015.
The 31-year-old star has topped Forbes' list, jumping up from fifth position last year having earned $135 million during her 151-date 'Prismatic World Tour' which grossed approximately $2 million per night.
Speaking about her position as a successful star earlier this year, she said: "I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company.
"I'm an entrepreneur... I don't want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls."
As well as ticket sales, she has continued to make money from her successful albums such as 2013's 'Prism' and reportedly made $20 per person at each show during her recent world tour.
Other earnings have resulted from the launch of several scents and endorsement deals with Claire's, Coty and Covergirl.
And the whopping sum knocked her rival Taylor Swift into second place, as she made $80 million over the same period.
Elsewhere on the list, Fleetwood Mac came in third following a string of headline festival slots and an extensive tour, while Lady Gaga came in fourth.
Beyoncé - who was the top earner in 2014 - dropped to fifth with earnings of $54.5 million.

Armando Mafud is a Mexican fashion designer. The fashion of Mafud needs no explanation: a deep connection to popular tradition and cultural identity.
World famous fashion designer Armando Mafud creates striking clothes inspired by the vibrant color and character of traditional Mexican handicrafts, contemporary painting and any other source of Mexican pride imaginable. Mafud is from Oaxaca, a southern region of Mexico famous for its high percentage of indigenous people, and rich artistic tradition including handcrafted pottery and textiles.
Armando Mafud's fashion career spans three decades. Curiously, the bold and creative designer originally studied to be a dentist. He started making women's accessories to pay for his dentistry studies, but continued in the business for most of the 1980s. Mafud found his calling as a clothing designer when he created some garments just to match his accessory designs to be featured in a show. Positive critical reception encouraged the dentist-turned-designer to continue to create clothes and today his works have graced runways in Paris and around the world.
While some critics find his designs a little over the top, others have fallen in love with his colorful palette and celebration of traditional Mexican imagery which attempts to capture the spirit of Mexican art and Mexico itself. Mafud takes all that is identifiable with Mexico, from Diego Rivera paintings to pottery patterns, and splashes it on his collections of evening gowns in an unlikely but harmonious blend of popular culture and high fashion. Mafud's Mexican passion and pride shine in each of his pieces, and these invite observers to also admire the country and its history and cultural beauty. Notable dresses include one featuring an image of the Mexican shield (seen on the nation's flag and which shows an eagle perched on a cactus wrangling a snake with its beak), another with a portrait of painter Frida Kahlo, and one with images of iguanas. In the 2009 edition of Mexico Fashion Week, he accessorized a stunning metallic black dress, inspired by the mariachi suit, with a mariachi style sombrero.
Although Armando Mafud prefers using silk for his designs, he also employs a wide variety of materials including cotton, velvet and he is not above even using polyester. He is most famous for his dresses, but he has also designed jeans and bathing suits. He also prefers creating women's designs, where he has much more room to let his imagination run wild and be more fantastic. Indeed, the silky graceful forms and bright floral prints so characteristic of Malud's original creations are difficult to imagine being pulled off in style by a man.
Mafud has always stayed true to his roots, however the Mexican designer feels that great designers must explore and expand on their styles. As he travels the world and develops his oeuvre, he has started incorporating European elements into his pieces. But his love of Mexico will always find its way into his innovative creations, as will his love and dedication to original fashion. He often hires specialized artists to hand paint silk dresses, hand embroider designs and even to handcraft original metalwork. A hand embroidered dress can take up to 8 months to complete. Armando Mafud is one of the most well known Mexican fashion designers in the world, and he is determined to create beautiful clothing for women who are proud to be who they are. The fashion statement Mafud makes needs no explanation: a deep connection to popular tradition and a strong sense of cultural identity looks great in fashion, and that has caught the attention of the international fashion world.

Revolutionary War Heroes
Elijah Clarke was born and grew up in North Carolina. He was born in 1742 the exact date is unknown. He finally arrived in Georgia in 1773. He rose to prominence in the Revolutionary War, which he was wounded four times. On February 14, 1779, Clarke led a group of Georgia and South Carolina militiamen to surprise victory over some 600 loyalists at Kettle Creek in the county of Wilkes. After the Revolutionary War, Clarke was rewarded with a confiscated plantation and thousands of acres of land. He also served in the Georgia legislature and became a state militia general. He died in Richmond county, Georgia on December 15, 1799. The Georgia legislature recognized him by naming a county in his honor. December 5, 1801. Clarke County became home to the University of Georgia. Clarke's remains were eventually re-interred in Elijah Clarke State Park near Lincolnton, Georgia along the Georgia-South Carolina border.
Nancy Hart
This brave red-headed women held six British soldiers in her home. She grew up in North Carolina. She is traditionally said to have been related to both Daniel Boone and General Daniel Morgan, although no real evidence in either case. Her and her husband, Benjamin Hart, moved to Wilkes county Georgia. Nancy could well handle a rifle in the fierce and bloody internecine that beset Georgia during the American Revolution. One of the best-known stories of Nancy Hart is when five or six armied Tories arrived at her cabin and demanded her to cook them a meal. Hart plied the Tories with whiskey and contrived to get near their stacked rifles. She threw the other rifles in the fire and got oe to defend herself. One of the men rushed her and was shot dead; another she wounded. When help finally came the remaining Tories were taken to the woods and hung.
Austin Dabney
Born in 1765 and died on 1830. Born in Wale County, North Carolina. Fought against the British. On August 14, 1786, Dabney became the only black to be granyed land. He was an artilleryman under Elijah Clarke. He was believed to be only black to serve in the Battle Of Kettle Creek.

In line with its policy of operating a paperless system, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has banned the pasting of paper notices on campus with immediate effect.
A number of punitive measures have been put in place to deter students from reverting to the old system.
The university authorities have introduced special SIM cards to all students where notices from heads of departments and other relevant bodies could be accessed.
The Provost of the College of Science, Prof. (Mrs) Ibok Oduro, announced at the first of eight sessions of this year's matriculation ceremony at KNUST in Kumasi Tuesday.
A total of 16,904 students were admitted into the university, the highest in recent times. It represents about 3,000 increase in fresh students as compared to last year. Out of the number 2,303 were admitted into the College of Science of which 803 were females.
Increase in female in-take
The female population of the college also shot up by five per cent in view of the Vice-Chancellor's initiative to reduce cut-off points for female students into science, technology, engineering and mathematics programmes in the university.
Prof. Oduro said the university wants to provide a unique environment that promotes free, entrepreneurial thinking to engender innovation and development.
'The KNUST remained highly competitive. This is as a result of our unique programmes on offer as a Science and Technology University, our environment and the various students support services that are available to our students,' she said.

Friday … You Never Know … Trouble as an Asset
Snow is falling on our fair city tonight. Lots of decorations up, twinkly lights, and lots of real Christmas Tree sales points are open.
With all my weekly chores done, today was a lazy day. And I took full advantage of it.
There has emerged a theme to this week, as it went. One Word, "Trouble."
My relationship with my sponsors answering machine continued today, day three. It wasn't until I arrived at the Friday meeting, that I found someone who knew why he was M.I.A.
"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille …. "
I've been feeling a little out of my league as of late. Second guessing myself, and wondering if what I have in my bank is worthwhile, and if the words I have used as of late, have done the job, I intended them to do?
As a writer, I study lots of things. People, Books, Speeches, Ted Talks, you get the picture.
I have said in the past that I am an amalgamation of everyone I know, and you could also say that some of the words in my bank, came from other people, along the way, and little snippets of advice or teaching, come from various places. (see above illustration).
Working with others, is our greatest defense against that next drink, or any drink for that matter.
And my guys keep me on my toes.
I have something intimate in common with each of them. Each for a different reason. In 47 seven years of life, I have collected a wealth of information. Language, Culture, Faith, the Common substance abuse issues, a University Education and 13 years of Sobriety to offer (well, 21 years if you count the first time and the time in between).
With my sponsor out of reach for the time being, what I have from him, in the bank, is what he has taught me, and what I have learned about myself in the past year, working with him.
When I cannot talk to him, I rely on others to fill that void.
If you don't know what to do, in times like this, call someone else you trust, or just go to another meeting, where, as it always happens, the right topic goes to the table for people to talk about, which was the case tonight.
You never know the challenges that people are facing on any given night. Which translates to the thought, "Always be kind to others, because you never know the burdens they carry."
Which also leads to "be careful the words you use, because one slip up can destroy a human spirit."
I've had to really trust in my ability to choose words wisely, and even then, I second guess myself sometimes. When another human being relies on you, it isn't about me or my ego. And if I ever forget that, I just think of David. (long story)
(Short story)
Some sponsors let power and ego go to their heads, which always ends up in disaster.
We sat a fair group. Not a huge number, sufficient for the hour. We welcomed friends home for the holidays, and that will continue for the next week or so, everybody will be in attendance by next weekend. Our Christmas Party is set for the 19th.
The Friday meeting is very special. People from all over the city come. Folks you don't usually see at our meeting have been showing up, for various specific reasons. Even in sobriety people have tough times, and our young people keep it green for them.
Tonight's read relates to the Fourth Promise …
"No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others."
It does not bode well, if I second guess myself, when giving advice to someone, who is doing that same thing themselves. Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot for no good reason. And sometimes in sobriety, we are our own worst enemies. When we second guess, we think we are less than, or not good enough, we defeat all the progress we have made to this point in time.
I find myself returning to my bank for words. My collection is vast and comes from many places. In a ten year education career, I have studied various things, religious and theological. My library of books, here at home, is massive. I have more than a hundred books that I have read over the years. Many subjects, many traditions, such a so forth.
And I find when I don't have words, that I know where to get them.
In the end it all comes down to two basic thoughts, in every case.
ONE – Where ever you are on your timeline, at what ever point on that time line, you are right where you need to be and right where you are supposed to be, at any given moment.
"Nothing, Absolutely Nothing happens in God's world by mistake."
TWO – When it comes down to brass tacks, If you did not drink to day, it was a good day.
"Acceptance is the KEY to ALL my problems."
We all have troubles. In sobriety we learn how to rank them, sort them, then deal with them properly, and that takes time and lots of work. Which is why the Friday meeting is so important. because I never leave that meeting without learning something from someone.
Edit … much later
The literature rack in any meeting is the least used item in the room, on any given night. We put it out at every meeting. We also encourage folks to take some, and subtly leave them around where someone who might need them, find them. We pay good money to stock our literature racks with plenty of stuff to read, that for the most part, goes unread.
Tonight I was on the train coming home and I was sitting in the front car, off to the left side against a window, as is usual for me. I did not notice it when I boarded the train, but when I got to my stop, I looked down to the floor, to the left of the door, and there in French, was a piece of literature, left on the train for someone to pick up. I smiled to myself. Some crafty member found some place to leave something for someone to later pick up.
At least someone on the French side makes use of literature !!!
More to come, stay tuned …

I feel that marriage is a commitment to God and feel you should respect it and value it. Its not just a legal bond to me its way deeper than that. With that being said does God bring you closer? Do you feel a deeper connection. I think you should if both people see marriage the way it should be seen and take their vowels seriously. I'm asking because I'm in a relationship and I feel my conscious is speaking to me telling me I need to marry instead of shacking up. Recently he asked me to marry him and said he felt the same.

It's not sudden. But the bond has grown stronger over our marriage (nearly 18 years now).
I do think people should generally wait a little bit before getting married - 2 years is pretty good - so they'll generally be over the initial crush stage in the first place. But life brings many more opportunities to get to know your mate in a variety of circumstances.00|00|0

So my sister dated this guy for like nearly two years. When they broke up, it wasn't very friendly. The guy asked me out twice. I rejected him both times.
A few years down the road, he dates this one girl for three years and almost married her... then after he breaks up with the girl he asked me "what would happen if it worked between us? Just a curious thought."
I don't want to date him because he's kind of... not my type of person. He isn't really strong and protective like... something I want in my boyfriend. But also, it's because he is my sister's ex. Is that a bad reason to reject him?

Never date someone y our family dated. It's tasteless and disrespectful.11|00|0

When it comes to the police, and if you start from the proposed fleet and war paint, it's the American police, in general, I have always called association with chases, not surprisingly, without them does not do any decent action of Hollywood and the game series NFS addicted us to do so in the game Cop Duty Simulator you will just be involved in the chase, pursuing violators! Here are just troublemakers here principally on the coolest cars and obviously with the skills of the riders, so catch them is not so easy!
As practice shows, catch someone more interesting than to run away, so you quickly addicted to the process, there will be excitement and hatred of criminals, so that you will stay in a constant delight of this process! In addition, you also have to take care of your vehicle, because the first car you get will be ... to put it mildly slow, but to get a couple of training missions, it will be enough if you are a fanatic, it may be a couple more overpower, but already then just have to change something in this life, the car (which is very expensive) or a filling, the only way you can be at the proper level and catch opponents. No benefit to perform acrobatic tricks will not, if caught - tarante nezadumyvayas. The benefit of the police car made from an unknown alloy and do not get damaged, but the riders will scale health, which will decrease every time the ram.
With a little bit confused - stupidity and persecuted little bit poor graphics. The first is that the riders will ride the same route by repeating it over and over again, so technically they can not pursue a watch for in a convenient location, but it is not clear why such a play. But in this situation, you always have a choice - to ambush or to catch up, but the graphics have no choice, it can scare many lovers of the beauty of the world and vehicles. What exactly is wrong with it - look at the screenshots, they reflect all the pain of what he saw as never before.

RT @saisonforcooks: such a great weekend at @EatDorsetFood specially with my neighbours Bunnies Love jams and preserves and Easy Bean!
EAT DORSET was launched to celebrate the publication of the book by the same title. Initially, just a few producers gathered in the beautiful grounds of Parnham House to showcase local produce. Over the past few years, the Festival has grown beyond recognition with more than 50 local producers from Dorset and the surrounding counties now gathering to promote and sell a wonderfully diverse and highly regarded range of produce.
Children can learn to cook or practice their skills with Lesley Waters at her hands-on parents and children sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning and at her afternoon tea family sessions. See the Lesley Waters Cookery School page.
Children's Activities including Storytelling by David Lawrence Jones organised throughout the weekend by the Charity, Families for Children.
Following the success of last years' very original and ecclectic mix of people cooking at Eat Dorset, there are plenty of good things to eat at this years' festival.
EAT DORSET was named as one of a handful of finalists in the Country Life Magazine's 'Countryside Event of the Year'.
This, together with listings in The Times and The Independent as 'One of the best Food Fairs of the Year' has given EAT DORSET an established and highly respected place in the wonderful range of food festivals that take place throughout the country.
Described by The Times (in their listings of the top Food Festivals of the year) as 'more like the Squire's Summer do than a commercial event' ...... 'but though it is rural it is by no means parochial, featuring talks and demonstrations by some of London's top
Chefs.' The Times
Dates for 2016 coming shortly
ENTRANCE £6 (No dogs please)
Address: Parnham House, Beaminster, Dorset, DT8 3LZ
Email: email@example.com
Emails to the Eat Dorset website include the following quotes:-
Howard from New York:
"What a perfect English October day. Amazing food in a spectacular setting. We loved tasting so many different and unusual things and talking to the people who'd made them. We hope to be back next year."
Sarah from Bristol:
"I've been every to the Eat Dorset Food Fair and wouldn't miss it for the world. It is such a beautiful setting with so much to offer. A real Foodies heaven."
Joan from Bournemouth:
"I travel all over the country but Eat Dorset is still my favourite event. The gardens at Parnham are wonderful. Therange and quality of the produce on sale is the best that I've come across. The Cafe has a great variety of exotic and delicious food. It's an inspiration."
Carlo wrote:
Next year will be the third time in a row that I have attended this wonderful event. Each and every time I travel to the beautiful and mesmerising grounds of Parnham House in Beaminster (DT8 3LZ), I am welcomed with friendly people, very helpful staff and most importantly a huge variety of utterly irresistible local foods. The facilities at the fair whether it be the toilets, café's, stalls or even horse drawn carriage tours, are top notch. I highly recommend going to the Eat Dorset Food Fair if you like great foods, friendly faces, beautiful panorama and a very fulfilling day.

10 Years …
NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 11: Hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston crashes into the south tower of the World Trade Center and explodes at 9:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001 in New York City. The crash of two airliners hijacked by terrorists loyal to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and subsequent collapse of the twin towers killed some 2,800 people. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
*** *** *** ***
It has been a week of quiet reflection and introspection about those events that took place on September 11, 2001. Many people are writing on this memory over the last few days and I was going to write on Sunday, but I think I can write on it now.
It was a quiet morning in South Beach that morning. I was asleep in my bed when the phone rang. It was my friend Ricky. He said to turn on the tv, that something was going down in New York City.
I sat rapt and cold watching the events transpire as they did. At that time my memory started running because my brother was employed as was his wife by the government. And when the plane hit the Pentagon, I panicked. I called my mother for some shard of news that neither of them were there.
My mother would neither confirm nor deny where they were at that moment. The punishment of silence was being played out on me because of my parent's belief that I was less than human and unacceptable as a member of the family. Even then relations were strained between us and she wasn't going to give up her information without me groveling for it.
But after 12 hours of relentless questions she finally let go the info that they were not at the Pentagon.
I did not report to work that day or the next. I wandered up and down the island watching tv and talking with friends about what we had seen. We were all in shock. And life on the island stopped. The party hardy city was struck stone cold sober. I sat in an internet cafe on Lincoln Road trying to find things to do, people to help and news to watch. The young man who ran the cafe would eventually give me free time every day for the 2 week period of time that the benefit period lasted on the island.
We had a week of mourning. There were no parties. It seemed the club atmosphere was sobered up. Nobody was in the mood to party or drink to excess because of what happened in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
They told us that we should go to the beach and lay candles lit in the sand at nightfall, because the satellites above were taking pictures of the coastline from space. So we did that every night for two weeks.
After a week of not knowing what to do, and seven days of forced sobriety, the island began to open up again. And the fund raising began. At the major clubs on the beach would have matching donations drives and if you donate so much money – you could have the equal back in alcohol.
So we went from stone cold sober to hot stock drunk over night. We drank every drop of alcohol that was stocked on the island for more than a week. And whatever money we raised was sent to the disaster zones up North. It was a very emotional time for us.
I spent a lot of time in front of the television. I had a computer at home during this time, even writing to Peter Jennings while he talked on tv news for days and nights after it happened. I had a direct email address for him and I would write him during the night while he was alone on tv.
One night – and I have it recorded on vhs, Peter was having a hard night, trying to remain stoic and strong, and it was wearing on him badly. So I dropped him a note and I said "Peter, take a breath, loosen your tie and just relax for a few minutes. You aren't alone. Just do it …"
That email reached him and there on live tv, he took a breath, he loosened his tie and he stopped talking for a few minutes and he got through the rest of that shift that night. Peter Jennings was the voice of reason I had grown up with from a young boy into the man I was at that time. I have 20 VHS tapes that I have in my video collection from the morning of 9-11 through the following weeks time of news, interviews and finally the first night David Letterman came back to do his first live show after 9-11 with Dan Rather in chairs – we all cried that night.
Peter Jennings, in a moment of weakness, started smoking again after 9-11 a choice that ended very badly for him as he contracted cancer and later died from it – it was a sad time for everyone. But for those crucial few days after 9-11 Peter Jennings was the man of the hour of ABC news. I will always be proud of him and what he did for the city, the world and his viewers.
This is what happened to my community in South Beach at the time of 9-11.
What is your story?

Get some great deals during Sidewalk Sales Days
June 25, 2012 by Mark
Sidewalk Sales Days will take place in Downtown East Lansing from July 13 – 14. The event is presented by the Downtown Management Board and the City of lansing. Most of the businesses in the downtown area will be participating.
Many of the aforementioned businesses will be offering large discounts on such merchandise as clothing, books, and gifts. Many will also be setting up booths on the sidewalk offering merchandise, food, and beverages. Those businesses who are participating can do many things to get more people downtown during the Sidewalk Sales Days. For example, they could work with Lansing printing companies to design and print some flyers to distribute throughout the community. Flyer printing services are inexpensive, especially if the flyers are ordered in bulk. The businesses can mention that if the person who received the flyer brings it in, they will receive a special discount or a product sample. This not only gets people visiting but it lets the business track the effectiveness of the campaign, which will come in handy if they wish to distribute more flyers at a later time.
Many cities have a hard time drawing people into the downtown area to do their shopping, as some citizens prefer to shop at larger "box" stores or local outlet malls. However, every city has stores in their downtown area which are unique and offer merchandise not available in those larger stores. Events such as Sidewalk Sales Days should draw more people downtown and will let them experience this for themselves.
