Pronation is basically the inward rolling of your feet when you walk and run; it forms part of the natural movement which helps your lower legs deal with shock from impact. Some people tend to pronate either more which is called overpronation or less, which is called underpronation or supination than other people. Underpronation or overpronation could affect the way you walk or run and can cause injuries or foot conditions in the long run. This is why choosing the correct running shoes for your pronation type is such an important factor.

The Cycle of Pronation
Pronation occurs at the joint that lies just below your ankle called the subtalar joint. When your foot lands on the ground during walking or running it is called the initial contact or gait cycle; it is at this cycle or point where there is an inward rolling motion called pronation.
What Happens When You Overpronate
With overpronation, your foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls inward excessively which in turn transfers weight to the inner edge of your foot instead of the ball of your foot. With the push off in overpronators, the big toe and second toe do most of the work instead of the entire forefoot.
Overpronation occurs mostly in people who have a low arch or fallen arch also called a flat foot. Shin Splints, Plantar Fasciitis, Bunions and Heel Spurs are some foot conditions associated with overpronation.
How To Protect Your Feet Against Injuries when You Overpronate
It is always advised to do some stretching exercises before running; this will also help to reduce the impact of overpronation. Strengthening your muscles and keeping a good form when running are also encouraged to reduce overpronation. Foot orthotics and wearing the correct running shoes are your main aids for overpronation. Good running shoes will also help to reduce your risk of injury and lessen the stress on your feet and legs from the impact.
What type of Running Shoe is the Best for Over Pronation
When you over[ronate a shoe that provides maximum support, structured cushioning as well as excellent stability is the best type of running shoe.
A stability running shoe distributes the impact of running much more effectively and thus minimizes pronation. A medial post support, arch support via a firmer midsole or extra cushioned motion control are also good charactaristics to look for in a running shoe for overpronation.
Features of a Running Shoe for Overpronation
- Lightweight and breathable uppers that are non-irritating to the skin.
- Stability and or motion control technology.
- A cushioned insole or midsole.
- A medial post support.
- Good shock absorption.
- A durable, shock absorbent and grippy outsole.

And the good news just keeps on coming! Legendary writer and director Richard Linklater has been recognised by the powers that be of the Palm Springs International Film Festival to receive the Visionary Award for his work on Boyhood, released earlier this year. A clown car of worthy actors have been selected for some of the most coveted awards at the festival, and they'll have to make some room in the boot for Linklater. Here's a list of a few of the winners announced so far:
1. Rosamund Pike – Breakthrough Performance Award, Actress (Gone Girl)
2. J.K. Simmons – Spotlight Award, Actor (Whiplash)
3. Eddie Redmayne – Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor (The Theory of Everything)
4. Julianne Moore – Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actress (Still Alice)
The PSIFF Awards have served as a pretty dependable early warning system for Oscar nominations, so this is the best sort of news for all involved.
Festival Chairman Harold Matzner describes Linklater's Boyhood as "…A one of a kind epic undertaking shot over the course of 12 years with the same cast", and especially praises Linklater for "…his creative innovations in filmmaking…".
The full name of the award is the Sonny Bono Visionary Award, and the previous winners combined are a check-list of untouchable film makers: Danny Boyle, Quentin Tarantino, Michael Hazanavicius and Tom Hooper. The awards will be hosted by Cartier, in case you were wondering.
To be honest I was certain Linklater would take the Director of the Year award, but the Visionary award is it's own special medal of prowess and exuberance in the field.
This is really only the start of the announcements, though. Many award winners are yet to be named, including the recipients of Career Achievement, Director of the Year, the Frederick Lowe Award for Film Composing, the Icon Award, the Chairman's Award and the Ensemble Performance Award. We'll keep you updated as the info comes in, so keep those peepers peeled!
The Palm Springs International Film Festival will run from January 2nd-12th 2015. The Gala Awards will be held on January 3rd .

5DMk2 and Mk3 pricing - your thoughts
Doug R wrote:
The MKII is a ok camera that makes great photos.
The MKIII is a great camera that makes great photos.
+1, the best summary I've heard so far.
As for Canon pricing in general, their recent announcement gives us probably the primary driver for the higher than expected pricing:
"Canon Inc aims to cut at least 400 billion yen ($4.84 billion) in costs over four years to soften the likely impact of a strong yen and an economic slowdown in Europe, the Nikkei reported..."
Canon are projecting that the yen will stay strong and may even increase in value over other currencies in the near future. I believe this to be the real root of Canon's recent high pricing (super tele II's, lens, camera, and 600EX-RT flash). Hopefully this is a relative short term (few years) situation and the market forces will bring prices down eventually. Canon's business does depend on volume, so I do see them continuing to make marketing moves to keep the volume up. Look at how long the last set of rebates have been extended.
As much as we don't like the pricing, Canon will be going through painful cost cutting and people will loose their jobs. Tough economy. As much as I would like a 5D3, I'm going to have to wait also. I don't want to, but I need to. But with a 7D at home, I still feel fortunate.

Chinese online game and Web advertising company NetEase.com Inc. said its fourth-quarter net income jumped 25 percent, helped in part by the launch of extra content for a popular video game called World of Warcraft.
Results beat Wall Street's expectations, sending shares up $2.58, or 6 percent, to close at $45.46.
For October through December, net income rose to 712.5 million yuan ($108 million), or 83 cents per U.S.-traded share, from 571.8 million yuan in the same period a year earlier.
That's better than Wall Street expected. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast net income of 71 cents per American depository share share.
Revenue improved 30 percent to 1.7 billion yuan ($254.5 million) from 1.3 billion yuan in the year-ago quarter, also above the $222.8 million that analysts had predicted.
Netease said its online game revenue increased 31 percent from the prior year to $215.5 million thanks to an "expansion pack," or new levels and storylines, for the popular online game World of Warcraft, which it licenses from game maker Blizzard Entertainment. The company said games and expansion packs it developed in-house also helped boost revenue.
Advertising services revenue rose 27 percent from a year earlier to $35.4 million. Netease said sponsorship of major Chinese national events and programs raised the profile of the company's Web portal and provided good value to advertisers.
For the full-year, Netease said net income grew 21 percent to 2.2 billion yuan ($338.7 million), or $2.60 per U.S.-traded share, from 1.9 billion yuan in 2009.
Annual revenue rose 48 percent to 5.7 billion yuan ($857.5 million) from 3.8 billion yuan.

On April 19, Lookout reported that the Google Play Store had been hit by a new malware called BadNews. Over 32 apps are said to have gotten infected. In a blog post it says that these apps have been downloaded between 2,000,000 - 9,000,000 times. This information was brought to Google's notice and the company has promptly removed these apps and suspended the associated developer accounts, until further investigation.
The malicious distribution network carried out the attacks, while disguising itself as an ad network. In the blog post Lookout wrote "Badnews has the ability to send fake news messages, prompt users to install applications and sends sensitive information such as the phone number and device ID to its Command and Control (C&C) server. BadNews uses its ability to display fake news messages in order to push out other types of monetization malware and promote affiliated apps"
The malware is said to be highly evolved, as it can achieve wide spread distribution by using server to delay it behavior. In other words it can quietly enter into your smartphone and can be made active later on. The good news about Badnews is, it has not made active yet, so all is safe now. Once active, the malware will trick users into installing more unwanted junk into your handsets.
"It is not clear whether some or all of these apps were launched with the explicit intent of hosting BadNews or whether legitimate developers were duped into installing a malicious advertising network," said Marc Rogers, Lookout's principal security researcher.
Lookout Mobile Security have anyway advised developers to pay closer attention to any third-party libraries they include in their applications. At the same, they have advised enterprise security managers to do regulated security monitoring, in order to detect malicious files which exhibit delayed behavior.

New Jersey's judiciary has found an innovative way to have another set of eyes looking over the shoulders of the state's legal guardians.
Last week, Chief Justice Stuart Rabner announced a new program in which volunteers will act as watchdogs, looking for evidence of theft or abuse by court-appointed guardians.
Tens of thousands of disabled and elderly state residents are dependent on guardians who manage their finances, their housing and their health care. In recent years, the number of new guardianship cases has been growing rapidly, and that trend is only expected to increase.
Rabner said that most legal guardians - many of whom are related to the incapacitated people in their charge - do a responsible job, but there have been a number of disturbing cases recently of guardians exploiting people.
Abuse by guardians is a particularly heinous crime, in which people who have promised to protect and care for the most vulnerable members of society prey on them instead.
In Ocean County, which has a large population of seniors, a minister was charged in 2008 with stealing $200,000 from 19 residents. And in 2004, an Ocean County attorney stole $2.6 million from 56 residents. In 2011, another attorney was charged with stealing $800,000 from 60 residents of Monmouth and Ocean counties. These cases may only be the high-profile tip of a much larger problem.
New Jersey is the second state to create a Volunteer Guardianship Monitoring Program, in which people are trained to read the annual reports guardians must file with county surrogates. Those reports are supposed to detail expenses, financial status and general well-being of their charges. The volunteers will use a newly created database that follows each guardianship and keeps track of missing or incomplete reports. They will look for anything out of the ordinary that might indicate mismanagement.
The program is already operating in Hunterdon County. It is expected to be operational throughout the state by November. The state chapter of the AARP says it will take a lead role in recruiting volunteers. People interested in volunteering can find information at njcourts.com or by calling 855-406-1262.
Unfortunately, the need for such a program points to a sad reality:
While the state has long required that guardians file annual reports, apparently those reports are not always being read.
The judiciary deserves praise for developing a way to remedy this situation and doing it without burdening limited government resources.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi will only resume playing after hamstring injury when he feels ready
Barcelona star Lionel Messi says he will not rush his return from a hamstring injury.
Last Updated: 18/11/13 8:23pm
The 26-year-old was ruled out for up to two months after suffering another hamstring problem during the victory against Real Betis on 10 November.
Barca team-mate Cesc Fabregas, who experienced similar problems while at Arsenal, has urged the Argentina forward to have patience as he attempts to get back to full fitness.
Messi told Argentine newspaper Diario Ole: "The plan is to resume playing when the body tells me I'm fine."
There were rumours that Messi had changed his diet, which could have been a contributing factor to his run of injuries.
But he put the record straight, saying: "(That is) not true. My diet is the same as ever. A lot of things have been made up.
"I do the same as always. And I started the pre-season with my ideal weight to reach the end feeling good. Nothing changes."
Messi dismissed suggestions that his injury was a result of playing too many matches for Barcelona and admitted he is happy with coach Gerardo Martino's rotation policy.
He said: "It's not good to pick up an injury, but I wouldn't have done anything differently.
"I'm not the only player who plays a lot of games in a season. Everyone playing in La Liga does the same.
"As long as I feel okay, I'll play whenever necessary.
"I have no reason to place limits on myself. I know that when the coach wants to take me off, he'll replace me and there's no problem with that."
Meanwhile, Barcelona have confirmed that Fabregas has returned to training following the knee injury he suffered against Betis.
Fabregas was forced out of Spain's squad for the friendlies against Equatorial Guinea and South Africa, while team-mates Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba are continuing their recoveries from injury.

Can Ecolabeling Schemes Preserve the Environment?
A three-stage game of production technology, signal and price competition is developed to study the impact of eco-labeling, in a duopoly model of vertical product differentiation. The production technology and the subsequent pollution level are non-observable by consumers. The only way to inform consumers about the environmental quality of the product is to stick an ecolabel on it. However, a polluting firm may also usurp the ecolabel by incurring a certain cost. By assuming that consumers are altruistic and willing to pay for environmental quality, we show that ecolabels can reduce the pollution level. Finally and importantly, under restrictive conditions on labeling cost, ecolabeling can constitute to some extent an environmentally effective and economically efficient policy. However, ecolabeling cannot alone internalize the whole negative externality until the optimum point.

Miami Beach, March 13, 2016 — Fergie once sang, "A little party never killed nobody." That is no longer true, as revelers saw the popular Spring Break destination of South Beach closed down.
Three separate incidents had residents and tourists on edge. Spring Break 2016 got off to a violent start in South Beach.
Late Friday night, a fistfight broke out in the street between two guys just outside of two of the most popular clubs in South Beach. Ocean's 10 and The Clevelander are where virtually everyone on Spring Break congregates. Ocean's 10 has the legendary DJ Jay Sample, who effortlessly mixes latin dance music with American pop music and hip-hop.
Across the street on the same side of the street, The Clevelander has various DJs pumping up the crowd until 5:00 a.m. Since the Clevelander is an outdoor club centered around a swimming pool, crowds spill out onto the street.
Young and conservative: Spring Break party at CPAC
Despite a heavy police presence, the area between these two clubs is where violence is most likely to take place.
The fistfight initially seemed to be harmless. Despite both guys throwing serious punches, many onlookers took video and pictures with their cellphones without trying to break up the fight. After two or three minutes, the incident was over.
People quickly returned to eating, drinking and dancing the night away. Saturday morning reports of violence were taken very lightly by partygoers. The situation was mostly laughed off.
By late Saturday night, people would not be laughing.
As the clock struck midnight and Saturday became Sunday, Spring Break was still in full swing. Around 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning, everything was still normal. A few minutes later, there was chaos in the very spot where the Friday night fistfight had occurred.
Again the cellphones were recording violence, but this time it was because a man had been shot.
The very spot at Ocean Avenue and 10th Street where everyone partied was now a crime scene. Police sirens were everywhere. The area was now on partial lockdown. Anybody who parked across the street from the Clevelander watched helplessly, unable to reach their cars to leave.
While far too many people insisted on being voyeurs, even the people who saw what happened apparently saw nothing. Those who preferred survival to voyeurism ducked into the two popular nightclubs.
While the first shots were fired at about 12:40 a.m., more shots were fired at 12:58 a.m. Those shots took place a few blocks away at the corner of Ocean Avenue and 7th Street.
Nobody was believed to have been harmed in that shooting. Around 1:00 a.m., people were still dancing inside Ocean's 10. That soon changed.
Police entered the club and ordered D.J. Sample to shut down his music. The bar was ordered to be closed. That told everybody that the shooter was still on the loose. Nobody was safe.
For a period of time, people were allowed to stay in the club for their safety.
Washington DC Spring Break hypocrisy gone wild
One very stocky Hispanic man in Ocean's 10 seemed visibly shaken. He had witnessed what had happened on the street. A car rolled up, and then a window rolled down. Three shots were fired at one particular person with precision and accuracy.
Despite South Beach normally being congested with traffic, this car was able to get away without difficulty.
There is no evidence that the shooting had anything to do with the fistfight 24 hours earlier. However, this did not seem to be a case of random drunkenness gone wrong. The victim died in what appeared to be a professionally organized hit.
Whether it was related to drugs or gang warfare remains unknown. Other conflicting reports spoke of another fistfight Saturday night. The shooter remains unknown and free. Unless they brag about their exploit on social media, the Miami Beach Police Department has a difficult task ahead.
The scenario of the killer escaping by car seems more plausible than his walking away on foot. The homicide victim has been identified as Antoinne Decade, age 20.
At 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning, Daylight Savings Time ended and clocks were automatically readjusted to 3:00 am. At this point police officers switched gears and ordered everybody out of the Clevelander and Ocean's 10. This was only the first level of police. Homicide detectives had yet to arrive on the scene. This meant that automobiles still in the area confined by yellow police tape would remain there overnight. Around 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning, the lockdown was finally lifted.
Sunday afternoon in South Beach was peaceful. In broad daylight, some visitors had no idea what had happened the night before. Others were keenly aware of the enhanced police presence and buses from various television stations. Silva Harapetian of CBS Miami was on the scene trying to piece together the puzzle from various witnesses.
Violence in America's cities: Police aren't the problem
Police will barely have time to solve this mess before bigger concerns arrive. Next weekend from March 18 through 20 is the Ultra Music Festival. As many as 500,000 people are expected to attend. This event has been marred by violence in recent years. While the festival itself takes place in Downtown Miami near Brickell, there will be a spillover crowd into South Beach. That is in addition to even more Spring Break attendees coming over the next couple of weeks. St. Patrick's Day on March 17th on Thursday night is always known for heavy drinking.
In the 1980s, the popular Spring Break destination in Florida was Fort Lauderdale. Eventually the local government there clamped down, pretty much eliminating Spring Break traffic there.
In the last few years, Spring Break violence in the Florida Panhandle has local authorities contemplating a similar crackdown.
If an increased police presence is unable to handle the violence, it could be the end of Spring Break in South Beach. All the cultural beauty and feel-good revelry cannot gloss over the pall cast on this Spring Break weekend. A little party did kill somebody.Click here for reuse options!

James Kallstrom previously served at the assistant director for the FBI. And he has never gotten into the habit of endorsing politicians; he jokes that he has a low opinion of all of them, with the exception of a select few. But this election, he is breaking his habit of not endorsing anyone.
In an interview with Fox News, Kallstrom revealed that he is officially endorsing Donald Trump. "I've know him 40 years," he explained. "He's a good human being. He's a generous person. He's got a big heart. He's done hundreds and hundreds of things for people without fanfare. He's a good guy. He's a patriot of this country."
He continued why Trump had earned his vote, saying that people shouldn't take his election persona too seriously. "And regardless of what he says, his acts show that he is not that person. He's been in this Hollywood crowd that talks like that, a lot of people talk like that," he said. "He doesn't do these things. He's a good guy. I've known his family from the time they were kids. Look at his children. Could you find a better family than he brought up in this country?"
Kallstrom explained that his low opinion of politicians especially applied to both Republican and Democrat leadership, so it makes sense that he would endorse someone that he views as an outsider. He also implored women to vote for Trump and put his past remarks to the side, insisting that if they want change, Trump is the way to go.

| The following Multa Paucis article is obsolete.
This article is no longer part of the Multa Paucis timeline. This page has not been deleted from this website for sentimental and reference purposes. You are welcome to comment on the talk page.
The East Asian Cataclysm is the general term used to refer to the Revolutions that erupted against the communist governments in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
The most violent uprising happened in China, which had been experiencing student-led popular demonstrations in Beijing. On June 4, 1989, the government sent the army in to quell the rebellions, but it only added more wood to the fire. Once soldiers began firing on the peaceful protesters, a mob of students began attacking the troops, some even taking up arms and returning fire to the soldiers. The CCP soon realized that this had escalated into full-scale revolution. After the events in Tiananmen Square, many regions of China began declaring independence such as Manchuria, Uyghuristan and Tibet. The situation for the CCP when revolution began in China proper, pro-republican forces taking major cities such as Shanghai and Nanking. The war lasted for two years, until a combined force of Manchu, Mongolian, Uyghur and pro-republican forces entered into Beijing. Once the troops stormed Zhongnanhai, most of the CCP killed themselves to avoid arrest. Republic of China President Lee Teng-hui entered into Beijing with cheers from crowds across the country, celebrating the fall of the "Red Blizzard". On November 11, 1991, delegates from Manchuria, Mongolia, Uyghuristan and Tibet met in Beijing to sign the Beijing Accords. This officially dissolved the People's Republic of China and recognized the independence of Manchuria, Uyghuristan and Tibet. It also recognized Mongolia's claim to Inner Mongolia.

Great book for new teachers
- Jacalyn
Not a legendary book
The book is clearly not aimed at anyone who teaches outside of the United States,
I wouldn't listen to or read anything by these authors again. I have read better and more helpful books on teaching. Furthermore, when I think about my teachers who were legends, many of them did not exhibit the characteristics that this book cites.

silly question
me and my daughter are in ny and she has been horrible for the past week that we have spent here and i am getting judged by my family who doesn't really even know how my daughter acts and stuff. so its very frustrating she thinks she can get away with no manners like we do at home and she is being very very bad she like to throw tantrums even more now because she knows my dad will come make me stop putting her in time out a light spanking.(over a diaper never never hard just enough to catch her attention!) but none the less how do i get her to understand instead of whaling at me for the things she wants how do i get her to understand to just ask I've tried explaining it and that goes no were and I've tried showing her and that goes no were. i am going to rip my ears off if i hear her shrieking at me for juice or a snack i just want her to ask and not scream. (i have super sensitive ears plus ear infection! hence i feel like ripping them off)
With my kids, there are a distinct set of rules at my parent's house that are WAY different than at our own home. For example - at my parent's house they go to bed later, are allowed to watch TV, and aren't as responsible for cleaning up their toys. In our house, bedtime is ALWAYS between 7:30-8, they watch a very limited (1 show each) amount of TV per day, and any toys that aren't cleaned up get "thrown away" (I put them in a trashbag in front of the kids and take it outside... what they don't realize because of their age is that I then bring the bag inside and slowly give their toys back to them for good behavior or when I need a few minutes and can distract/entertain with a "new" toy)

My Home(s)
JAIL BREAK! Finally I can come home and sit myself down on my comfy sofa and…"SEBASTIAN COME ON!" "Please, mom, five more minutes?" "No, we have to go" "Fine" but why? So I guess I can't sit down on my couch, but, at least I have one. Tons of people in Canada (roughly 250000 people, yes 250000) don't have a home or at least something comfy to sit on after a hard day. The only thing they have is the hard, cold ground! It really, really sucks… REALLY! My home is a place of work, work and more work but still my favorite place to be. My home holds a small family of three Lindsay, my mom Ryan, my dad and me, Sebastian. Oh, I almost forgot about my pets Brody, my dog and Prancer, my cat. There is one thing that I would change and one thing that I wouldn't change… it's loud and it's loud (yeah, seriously) My cottage is a place of peace and not so much quiet. My mom's step mom and dad live there. The reason for no quiet is Michael the 15 year old blacksmith (hint: BANG BANG BANG!) and me and my friend Josh. Sadly my cottage shuts down for 6 months every year, my grandparents go to Florida during that time. Double sadly for my grandparents this is probably there last year in Florida. That's pretty much my cottage My mom's mom's house (that's a tongue twister) is a place of tidiness and hidieness (that's the name of her cat, no, her name is not hidieness it's Hidie). Sadly (that's right more sadness) she has her house in the market. Hidie is staying at my grandma's (Crystal) boyfriend's (Brent) house out in Stanley. My grandma's boyfriend's house is 250 years old and really big and that explains a bit about my grandma's house. Those are a few places I can call home. I guess my cottage is a cottage, um, you get the point. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I really, really, really, love my home(s)!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/10/2013 (1395 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife is talking way too much about this guy we both know who just went to jail. I can tell she has a crush on him. I've been to jail a few times, but it was nothing really serious. (Who hasn't, that I would know?) The thing is, I've been working and I've been clean and sober for several years now, and she wants to go and visit this jerk. At first I was half-OK with it because the guy is locked up, so what can he do? But then I thought, "No way!" He can play on her sympathy and get some feelings going with her, so I told her, "No! You can't go see this guy."
She's been sulking for a week. Today she said, "If you were locked up again, I'd go out to see you all the time. This poor man has no family and we are his friends." I said, "OK, but we go together and stay 15 minutes." She refused my offer. What's up? -- His Rival? Winnipeg
Dear Rival: She wants to go see him alone, not with you -- a definite red flag. It's important for you not to participate in any way. Driving your wife out to see a guy she's got a crush on would be a dumb move. So let her sulk and get bored of the whole game, or make a decision to move out and start visiting him. Did she visit you in jail? Some women prefer the freedom of that situation than actually living with a man. In a strange way they find it romantic, and if he's capable of dishonesty, at least they always know where he is.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have a young son who is autistic and an elderly grandmother in a wheelchair who has Alzheimer's. I also have as a toddler and baby. I would love to spend more time with my grandmother and give my children a chance to know her, and her them. The problem is my older son is non-verbal and he can be quite a handful at times and it upsets my grandmother, who complains about him to other family members.
I don't want to just leave him at home all the time and only bring the other two because it's not fair and upsets him. He sees us getting ready to leave and wants to come, too. Even if I were willing to leave him home, I can't, because my boyfriend also works a lot on the weekends and there aren't many people that can handle babysitting him. I don't know what to do. -- Seeking Advice, Winnipeg
Dear Seeking: You may need to take a helper with you on visits to Granny's to help with the three kids, or look into special respite care for your autistic son while you're away. Since Grandma is scared of him, it doesn't make sense to take him there with the other two kids unless someone else can be there to help distract him and keep him busy. An aunt or cousin, perhaps?
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

I'm about to get/build my first AR
Hi guys, I know most of us here dont like obama but he did do one good thing. the first time home buyers tax credit is putting some much needed and wanted money in my hands in just a couple more weeks so i'm building my first AR. I found a complete stag lower for $225 and my local ffl transfer fee is $20. now the hard part choosing the caliber and length for my upper. this is where i need help guys please gimme your 2 cents. should I get the classic 223? or 6.8 or even 7.62x39? what are ammo prices like for the 6.8? are they hard to find? what are some advantages/ disadvantages for each round? also what are some advantages/ disadvantages of 16" or 20" barrel? thanks for any help guys
5.45 is hands down the cheapest, if you use the correct platform, an AK. .14 a round. I would get a bulgarian built rifle. My Wasr2 Romanian is a great rifle. 5.45 is a great 200 yard cartridge. It is much cooler running than the 7.62x39.
If you need instructions for assembling your AR, you might refer to Dillinger's post in the Knowledge Base from July of 2008. I'm doing the same thing (building an AR), and there are a lot of good guys in this forum who are happy to help.
I recommend going 5.56.
Unless you are also going to start re-loading your own ammo, or have connections at Silver State Armory (for 6.8 SPC - Silver State Armory manufactures and sells 6.8 SPC Ammunition and custom brass cases, 5.56 ammo, 7.62x51 ammo), 'no' they aren't the only ones who supply it, but one of the main ones - I would suggest staying with 5.56 for cost (cheaper), availability (more widely available - and in more weights and type of bullet), accessories, etc.
You can always add a complete upper in one of the other calibers (6.8SPC, 6.5 Grendel, .204 Ruger, 7.62x39, 9mm, .450, .458 SOCOM, etc) later.
As for barrel length and gun configuration, that is something you need to decide, as far as what type of shooting you'll be doing most, if you'll be doing more longer range shooting - then you'd probably be better off with a longer barrel (18-24"). If you are going to be setting the gun up for close quarters, mainly shorter range target/plinking/etc, then a 16" barrel would probably be a better choice.
Mainly it comes down to what you want it to be able to do, what you want it to look like while you are doing it, and how much $$$'s you want to put into it, whether you want to buy it pre-built whole, pre-built in separate assemblies, or build it yourself from parts.
right now i'm thinking i'm either getting a doublestar m4 from buds Doublestar Star 15 M4 16" 6 Pos. Stock .223 for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $659.00 or get this stag lower here stag arms complete ar-15 lower receiver and couple it with this upper here Del-Ton, Inc. AR-15 16" Post-Ban Flat Top Barrel Assembly i pretty much can't afford more than that. i plan on upgrading as i go eventually getting a piston kit and quad rail then this kit here Get Out Of Dodge Tactical Package what do you guys think?
me too
i was thinking of 308 but its not in my budget but i seen a thing on tv about the m16 and its history from the m14 to the newest hk ar and they were talkin about how lethal the 5.56 is when it hits a body it starts tumbling and causes major damage and a big exit hole. im not sure if i want a 16" or 20" barrel what do you guys have on yours and why
I went with 16" carbine
16" on the 5.56 but I'm thinking maybe 24" on the .308 here's the 16"

Never Give Up
In 2006 I was assaulted at an Engen petrol station in Claremont Cape Town on my way home by a bunch of school boys who believed me to be gay. I suffered numerous injuries the worst of which was having my neck broken which left me a quadriplegic.
One of the accused Dane jumped into his mothers, Stephanie Killian's car shouting 'Go,go,go!' while another witness heard Stephanie shouting to the rest of the boys 'to get the fuck in the car'. Once the boys had piled into the Chrysler Voyager she drove away from the scene leaving me for dead. In court a further witness testified that Stephanie had said "They are a bunch of hooligans. I've had to pick them up at scenes like this far too many times." And yet another witness testified Stephanie was shouting at the accused 'to get the Fuck in the car' READ MORE
Motivational Speaking
Everyone is facing challenges of their own on a daily basis. Sometimes we feel like giving up or like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You and I can only imagine what it might have been like for Andrew, waking up helpless one morning, relying on everyone else for simple day to day tasks. He has been there.He wants to share the knowledge and tools he learned during his really dark days to equip people with the right, positive attitudes to enable them to overcome some of the hard challenges in their own lives. The media dubbed Andrew ''SA's Bionic Man" and in 2015 he was incorporated into a National Curriculum text book for high school students. READ MORE
'I wanted to say thank you for your talk earlier today – and for taking the time to talk to us. I have received such wonderful feedback from people on the floor,that I think we should look at having you back again soon! The message was one of such positivity that I think you humbled quite a few people today, including me.'
– Stephanie Jacobs, Metropolitian
'It was wonderful to finally meet you and I want you to know the impact you, and your talk, had on the children as well as the parents who attended. It truly was a wonderful evening and we thoroughly enjoyed having both of you with us.' – Tarryn Payne,
Grayston Preparatory School
'When I first became aware of Andrew's story, I knew I had to meet him, and to have him share it with others – as a natural born cynic it takes a special person to make me want to share in their enthusiasm and passion. Andrew did just that.'

Okay guys, do you prefer when a girl texts you first or do you prefer texting them first? Do you like the chase? or being chased?
And in terms of all the cutesy "hey love" "i miss you baby" "hey baby" ish.. how do you feel about that in texts... even if you're not serious or anything?
Most Helpful Guy
If I asked for the number I will call first. I will ask her out on a date and she will agree. However, I notice that most girls will make up an excuse to cancel the first date. I think this is them playing hard to get. I will just simple say "OK, well when your free call me". From this point onward I am not calling or texting anymore. This is me playing hard to get. I honestly don't care if she ever calls again, however after canceling a date with me, I am done trying to make plans with you again.00|00|0

Introduction and Disclaimer
Wind has been one of the most notorious people in both puzzles, a person claiming to be part of 3301/Cicada. Wind claims that they are a woman, and that her IP address is a fake, resolving from Michigan. She gave out clues during the 2012 puzzleset, and mentioned parts of 3301/Cicada's structure. The following section will attempt to debunk and point out contradictions in Wind's case.
Counterhash requests that although they will do their best to debunk this myth in the following, the ultimate decision as to whether or not you believe this is real or fake has to be made by you. With that out of the way, let's dive right in:
22:55 < borken> Who can tell the wind where to go?
Other Articles On the Wiki About Wind
How wind became important Link to another article about how wind became important in 3301.
Coincidental visit by wind Link to logs where we mark every time wind visits our IRC.
Winds broken jpg puzzle:
Winds puzzle left in comment from her IP
Timelaps of her appearance duringthat puzzle
>>>>>>>>Coincidental visit by wind<<<<<<<<< Here are links to logs from 2014!
Why We Love Wind So Much
IRC from 2012
There are two logs so far which have been found from 2012's IRC, both concerning Wind. They are rather long, and so instead of directly quoting the whole thing you can find them here and here.
The first, and most obvious thing to note here is the fact that wind provided NO PROOF WHATSOEVER that they are from or involved with Cicada/3301. Wind did give away a lot of information away about Cicada/3301, and gave away some interestng clues which have not yet been solved. The main clue here is posted below:
lpvrx pg zo hrunv. fmb r jhi wzslemr. cefl zn laowe ohqfv rg urn ahg frwap. zrvymi tahb m bwad, rfr'l biiyss an ee. m gymh ezle aowe qog ossnm khx zsm. sambzv ek byam tok swey kv qwie wahh ie kak oeh hqtk poc ie veqa. 5181401.
Note that this message also does not include a valid GPG key.
It can be argued here that Wind is a test by 3301, a test of each solver's faith as to whether they want to believe Wind or not.
Mahisha is another IRC user who randomly joined from the same IP lookup as Wind, and started spouting random messages. One of these was a pastebin, titled n1D1U1G1A4Q1A2J1, and containing the following text:
378og340vhq3wnva078ghv04wheqg354h 54uwrhew5hw45ehw45jhwn45ejw45ejwe5 nDUGAAAAQAAJqe5je5jqe5j5qejeqj5ejqe5j w5eSHW$JHW$JW$JW$JW$JW$JW$JW$JW$JW$J gbr6nw46ri46rnfgsr6jw6m6sms6ms6jm6rmsr we5b43hw54jn46nw6rnw64rkw6rjw6rjw6rj uwhe5uhwe5hwe5hwe5ueqws6mr6m6sms6ms
Wind stated that Mahisha was part of Cicada/3301.
Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/gwe1SD3u
The Key To The Manifest
In a shocking revelation, the solvers found something very interesting from the 2012 puzzle:
<wind> The folly is the key to our manifest
http://i.imgur.com/P1DfD.png Thomas has a folly.
In case this isn't obvious, folly was a file found in the 3301 OS files. This being mentioned in 2012 really shakes the whole thing up. To continue, Mahisha mentions folly later on:
<Mahisha> The highly intelligent do not possess Thomas' folly
<Mahisha> I am not Topiary, your folly will lead you from the face.
This could almost confirm Wind's involvement in 3301/Cicada, as she basically predicted part of the 2013 puzzle.
IRC From 2013
In 2013's puzzle, Wind turned up again during the end phases. The log files can be found here and here.
One thing to note here is that Wind originally claimed to be a part of an 'original five', and this time claimed to have been signed up. It is maybe not mutually exclusive to be a part of the originals and also have been signed up, although they seem to suggest it is mutually exclusive. Wind from 2013's IP also originates from Michigan, which maybe does also suggest that she is the same Wind. It is easy to interpret 2013's appearance in different ways.
Wind in 2013 also mentions that they have no way of contacting cicada, which is completely contradictory if wind from 2012 physically met up with other members of Cicada/3301.

I met a member in person and worked with mahisha for some time, contact after that was initiated by them in various ways. 21:58:05 <-- | Wind (18f7814e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.184.108.40.206) has quit (Disconnected by services) 22:02:41 --> | Wind (18f7814e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.184.108.40.206) is back on server 22:02:58 Wind | Being kicked.

The Troll Claim
In February 2012, a paste on pastebin appeared where 'Wind' claimed to be a troll:
!This was "fake wind" or "wintermute". This entity did not have same IP as wind. Not Travrse City at all. All IPs from real wind are from Traverse City. Fake wind with this PGP signature was creation of one of secret groups n 2012 with intention to deceive other followers.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 From: <email@example.com> To: The Internet <> Subject: LOLZ I TROLLZ U Ladies and Gentlemen of the Internet, I am why you cite your sources. It is said that a lie told often enough becomes a truth; apparently, a troll repeated sufficiently becomes a prophet. When the call to investigate first appeared on the internet, I marveled at the psychological manipulation put into play by a true master of the art; when the cicadas appeared around the world, I realized that I was standing in the internet's most fertile ground for trickery. You were so starved for clues you consumed my poison without question, and even when you caught my lies, you continued to eagerly swallow. When you sought to understand the identity of the puzzle I gave you closure by falsifying an ARG; when you needed another text to give you insight I handed you Neuromancer; when you wanted to know who wind was, I stole the name and answered. Since the game is played out, I want to offer you some closure. I am, after all, the only one who can tell you when it was I was truly trolling, and when you misattributed my actions to those who gave out legitimate information. Let me offer you a brief summary of my work. I am Wind 3301. I am MUTE. I am Artemis. I am 8.tk. I am Wile E. Coyote. I am the face in the onion. I look forward to hearing from you. http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bri/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bsy/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365btl/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365btz/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365buf/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bvi/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bxw/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bw5/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bx9/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365bys/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365c3j/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365c84/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365cd5/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365cew/ http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/365d1j/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPPGa3AAoJEAfLguPQ6KJsH38H/RYr7dv3E/7IKUFy7EiHeNtu uSiIFqcwyMvguc4iJrxAl/hV9WJpWMaAWhJbCwhcin8uHi97sSYn9sIwmGpIftZ+ PgmWNkn7YnQDSqHcBQEPVKBVD0uuLpP/HOYhsA8nco61l+kDpPMiPM1cIp0muYl/ pOJaNZEIqM2PEuRol/mDpxop+sHSxuAQwQTLJPdmVQkxiv/VHwMzdwjEmWT+FiZG MuIVmA6h2RW+4pNV4VRzWQU3KwdsubgVq19PSitdqyEVNaFrxbQ8V60v1c0P0nD7 7eELKSP0l2lmg+M3LVo/r5AQ1DbJzI5XSwFdxDm0+h5lGYype03bJjwewupkplg= =aRUj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Sadly, as Wind on IRC provided no GPG signature or key, it is also impossible to confirm Wind's indentity and match it with Wind on pastebin.
Summary of 3301/Cicada according to Wind
Cicada according to Wind is:
- Originally made up of 5 people
- Two of which monitor IRC, the others design puzzles
- Wind herself physically has met at least 2 other Cicada/3301 members/affiliates
- Wind was tasked with finding and checking up on QR codes
- An organisation with an interest in human thought processes (2013 mentioned)
It can be deduced from Wind's statements that:
- Cicada/3301 own a computer on a plan with a local internet company in Michigan, which functions as a proxy for wind and presumeably Mahisha to use
Final Deductions
In a world of trolls and encryption, one should only trust someone claiming to be 3301/Cicada if they provide a legitimate. To publicly available knoweledge, Wind is a fake and a troll as she refused to provide legitimate proof of existance. If they were truly 3301/Cicada, they would also at least be using Tor, and not a proxy in Michigan.
