You've read a lot of tests, but this one will not have any charts of velocities, charts of group sizes or photos of groups. This test is simple: a man, a shovel, a pile of ammo and a bunch of ARs. What I'm going to do is not really all that safe, and the risk is not just of busting a perfectly good (and expensive) Stoner-type rifle or two. It could lead to injury. But as a wise man once said, "The best lesson is learned from watching the mistakes of others."
The advocates of piston-driven ARs assert that they are more reliable than the original design. What I'm going to do is relate my experience shoveling dirt on piston-driven ARs and test-firing them, as well as some other, worse tests.
The rifles included an LWRCI M6A2, an LMT Monolithic Rail Platform, a Ruger SR556C, an S&W M&P15, a Stag Arms M8 and a CMMG M4 clone, all piston driven. Each of them was exactly as it was sent to me, without aftermarket handguards or other accessories. The LWRCI is the latest design, with a one-piece carrier and the expected piston system in a railed, free-float upper. The LMT MRP features a one-piece upper with a piston system instead of a DI gas tube. The S&W M&P15 is a regular, M4-style handguard rifle, with the piston system inside the handguards. The Stag M8 also has plastic handguards, as does the CMMG, which the company (knowing what the test was) shipped to me sans sights.
Some had high-end two-stage triggers, and some had box-stock MIL-SPEC triggers. Some came with sights, others were bare on top. In short, I grossly abused nearly $12,000 worth of primo ARs.
Typically, a new weapons system will be tested by the government, but the old system won't be tested alongside it. To do so in any good engineering school would get you a flunking grade. (Of course, when the government tested properly in the past, it found out that the "obsolete" 1911A1 was not only more reliable than the desired 9mms, but more accurate as well.)
So, as a baseline, I added two direct gas impingement (DI) rifles to the test: a Rock River Arms Operator Elite and a LaRue OBR 556. Each of them has a tubed handguard, but since the gas tube is simply a means of directing gas and doesn't move, the handguard style doesn't matter much.
I've buried guns, dunked them, even fired some underwater in the past. I've also done a preliminary test on ARs to test my procedure and see what would happen. Back when I was in chemistry lab, the group of us being subjected to the tender mercies of Dr. Crist came up with a description of the status of our lives at that moment: "If we knew what would happen, it wouldn't be research." I wasn't trying to bust guns, but to see where the boundaries of reliable function might exist. So I didn't stuff the bores full of dirt and shoot them from behind the clubhouse via a long string.
Each rifle was inspected, test-fired and lubed. Three of them had a varied history. I had done a preliminary test like this, and the Stag and the CMMG were survivors of the earlier effort. The LaRue arrived just in time for an LEO five-day patrol rifle class, and in the class I ended up putting around 2,000 rounds through it. So, unlike the others, it received a thorough cleaning and lube before I commenced testing it.
In the interest of keeping things simple and not adding variables, I conducted the test with the kind assistance of Black Hills for ammo and Magpul and CMMG for magazines. I could just imagine the look on Jeff Hoffman's face when I laid it out for him over the phone: "I deliberately want to make some ARs quit working, and I'd like to do it with your ammo." And he sent ammo anyway. Magpul and CMMG were happy to send magazines, so I loaded up the war wagon and went off to the secret test range of Gun Abuse Central.
The first test was simple: I stuffed a loaded magazine in each rifle in turn, closed the dustcover, dropped the rifle on the ground and shoveled some good topsoil onto it -a shovelful onto the receiver and a shovelful onto the handguards to get some in at the piston system. I then picked it up, charged it and fired five rounds.
Then I put the safety on, dropped it (leaving the dustcover open) and shoveled again. I repeated this through three 30-round magazines for each rifle. Obviously, the direct-impingement Rock River Operator Elite and LaRue OBR 556 were utterly unaffected by dirt on the gas tube, but I still shoveled it there so the test procedure wouldn't deviate.
We'd just had a rain, so the topsoil was good and damp. It clung to the exterior and collected in the corners with great enthusiasm.
The second test was the same, with two changes. I used silty sand instead of topsoil, and I didn't bother to close the dustcover. I also got a lot less careful with how I put down each rifle. At the start, I had carefully laid down each one. By the time I got to the sand, I simply dropped them and grabbed the shovel. If they bounced over so the dustcover was down, I used the toe of my boot to flip them over.
They were not babied. The sand collected in places the topsoil had not. Also, as this was on one of the ranges that collects rainwater, the silty sand had a good assortment of empty -sometimes corroded- brass in it.
The lack of excitement was palpable. Sand sprays a bit, but otherwise the rifles worked just fine.
Next I took brake cleaner and hosed the piston system of each rifle to remove any lube that might be there. I then repeated the silty sand test. The Rock River and LaRue DI rifles did not receive the degreasing agent, because the gas tube doesn't care. There is being complete and then there is being a moron.
I figured that if running dry might be a problem, then running wet would be worse, so I figured I'd make an oily mess of things. My first attempt was to simply pour 10W30 motor oil into the piston of the Ruger. Big mistake. The resulting oily mess was so bad, I didn't even want to handle it, let alone fire it. After I re-degreased it, I took an oil can and squirted the piston system of each one until they were dripping. And no, I didn't oil the gas tubes of the two DI rifles. I then went through the sand test one more time.
A point of information here: Oily sand clings to rifles. And it clings to piston systems. When you shoot them dry and sandy, the sand just falls off. But when you fire them oily and sandy, the sand clings until driven off. Oily sand hurts when it is thrown in your face. After the first five-shot test here, I went for a full-face shield. The sand blasted by an oily piston is nothing compared with the fast-flying gunk hurled out of the Rock River muzzlebrake. Brakes are bad enough, but brakes with sand in them are simply awful. The more effective the brake, the more awful it is, and the RRA brake is very effective.
No, they did not stop working. This was becoming intolerable, so I took the Stag, removed the handguard and squirted in more oil. More shoveling and shooting produced the same dismal results. No malfunctions.
By this time I was frustrated and decided that I really needed to step up things a bit.
For the last test I took each rifle and dunked it up to the buffer tube retainer in a drum full of scummy, silty pond water out of the nearby drainage pond. The procedure here was simple: Each rifle would be dunked until the bubbles stopped. Then I'd pull it out, pull back the charging handle just an inch or so to break the chamber seal and let water drain (as you are carefully instructed to do in the service). I would then fire five rounds. Then into the water again, and repeat.
Here I had some modest success.
The piston guns, for the first few rounds, the first time dunked, now and then short-stroked. Sometimes. I can only imagine that there was some weird point at which there was enough sand still clinging, but enough oil had been washed off to impede operation. The second dunk washed them clean enough to work 100 percent. The two DI guns, incidentally, worked without a problem.
At this point in the test, one of the club members was watching in horror. Finally, Wally said, "I can't take this anymore. You need to go to confession, and I need to go to therapy."
With the planned test complete, I considered other test materials: talcum powder, ready-mix cement, dry hydraulic fluid, even salt water. Each of these was discounted as either not extreme enough (talcum powder is very fine, but not very hard or abrasive) or just too much (really, ready-mix cement? Who expects a dust cloud of that coming over the horizon?).
Now, since I'd failed in my quest to make any of these rifles cry "uncle," what have we learned? And no, I do not consider an oily, sand-caked rifle dunked in water and short-stroking now and then as having failed. Well, for one thing, I'd learned that the AR is a lot more reliable than many would think.
As excellent a hunting rifle as it is, I would not want to be shoveling dirt over a Remington Model 742 with the expectation that I would be able to snatch it up out of its dirt-nap and depend on it to whack the next deer that shambled along.
Caliber issues aside, the AR would have no problems in that regard. Lacking a sufficient supply of 6.8, I couldn't do this test with what many DNR agents would consider a more suitable deer round than 5.56×45.
Also, while the sand and sand-and-oil tests were not bad, the dunked-after-sand-and-oil test stage was evil. After the first dunk, many of the rifles became gritty in hand-cycling, and triggers became very stiff. One safety lever seized in place until the silt was later washed out. Silty water is bad, worse than oily glop.
Just in case you're saying to yourself, "Hey, that sounds cool. Let's do it at our next tactical match," may I suggest that you not? I mean it. Don't do this at home or on the range.
Malfunction issues aside, sand or dirt that gets into the bore at the muzzle can seriously harm accuracy, and harm it for good. Water droplets in the bore can also cause long-term problems, especially if there is enough water to "ring" a bore. The dirt sifting into the receiver has to be grinding away at the moving parts, even if there isn't enough to keep them from functioning.
And what of the two DI control guns? Both worked flawlessly and, lacking a piston to get gunked by oily sand, never failed to operate. While I cringed at the thought of subjecting the ultra- accurate match barrel on the LaRue OBR to this test, I figured it would be a very good chance to see how a match chamber did. It did superbly. .
What surprised me were the triggers. Both DI rifles have two-stage match triggers. I was expecting some instances of functional reluctance. There were none.
While I did note a few shots that had heavier-than-expected trigger pulls (from loose sand being sluiced into the lower), they functioned 100 percent. Modern ARs, even those built for match accuracy, work even when subjected to the abuse I was willing to administer.
When it was over, I needed a rest. This test was too much like real work.

Not the greatest picture, but a fun little simple card made with another stamp from Cowtown Stamps
on their $1 clearance. I just liked it, not sure why. I colored it in with a couple of Copic markers that I got recently and added a few pink sticker rhinestones. For the sentiment, I wasn't sure what to put, and Neal's idea was "nice pear", but I didn't think anyone who might receive this card would appreciate that like he would. I kept thinking I needed to do more to this one, but I just stopped and left it at this and pop-dotted the pear.
My Neal is gearing up for his trip back home to Minnesota for his high school reunion and besides hopefully getting a bunch of cards done, I'm going to miss him like crazy. Thankfully, I've got Dixie to keep me company so that I don't go completely bonkers! Wish I had a bunch of vacation time to take off and go with him. I need to remind myself to negotiate that with the next job I get! We just switched to directv and you know how that goes, you get a bunch of movie channels free for a couple of months, so I'll have that too. I made a promise not to watch any of our reality shows without him, so catching up on chick flicks is what I'll be doing.
If any of you watch Design Star on HGTV, you know it's down to the final 2. I think I like Jen the most, but this season was a real let down I thought compared to the last 2. I do watch Color Splash, which was the winner 2 seasons ago, but I'm not crazy about Kim's show, who is the gal that won last year. I like her, but just not crazy about her show. There's also a new show called The Stagers. This is totally what I'd like to do! I have helped several friends back home in Wisconsin and then in Colorado stage their houses to sell and all of the houses that I've had have sold within a week, so I must do something right. I'd love to do it and actually get paid for it tho. Not sure how well this show will go over, since they're aren't working so much with what people already have, but they get this high dollar stuff from their warehouse and also buy stuff it make it look good. I can see doing a little bit of that, but not as much as they do.
Anyway, guess I've had too much coffee this morning since I'm rambling on.
Have an awesome day!
Peace and Luv,

Damaged Rick Brant Books
This is what the package looked like from the outside.
With the books stuffed inside, the mailer was five inches thick. The dimensions of the mailer while flat were 12 1/2 inches by 17 inches. I wasn't that concerned, since I hadn't received damaged books in quite some time. Now that I think about it, I should have been concerned, since my luck was bound to run out.
I opened the package and got a good whiff of cigarette smoke. Of course, the seller didn't mention the odor. While annoying, this is a minor problem that will be fully solved once the books have enough time to air out. No big deal.
This is what I saw inside the package after I ripped open one end.
I wasn't even concerned at this point, although I went ahead and snapped the above photo just so that I could post a comment on Facebook about how old books deserve better than this. Then I pulled the books out of the package and discovered the damage from the books shifting back and forth during their journey.
One book was inside another book positioned like this.
This was the result.
The Electronic Mind Reader was not in good shape before it was mailed. The book already had a split hinge with old tape on it and had heavy wear. You can see all the additional damage caused by the other book sliding inside. The pages are now creased and folded. While annoying, this wasn't enough to upset me. I didn't buy the books for this one and don't care about it.
What does upset me is that I bought the lot to get two of the books with dust jackets, and both jackets were damaged by the careless packaging.
This jacket was torn in the upper left corner.
And this jacket was torn in the lower right corner.
The seller's photo shows both jackets as undamaged.
I decided earlier this year that I liked the Rick Brant books enough that I wanted a set with jackets. I didn't want to pay high prices, so I have been waiting for bulk lots. I bought a bulk lot last month that got me most of them. The Pirates of Shan and The Blue Ghost Mystery are two of the books that were not part of that bulk lot. That's why I bought this small bulk lot.
It is the bulk lots where I do have most of my problems with damaged books. The sellers don't understand that they can't just throw the books in a box or large envelope and ship them off.
It should be noted that the books from this transaction would have been fine if the seller had just wrapped some plastic wrap around the books before placing them inside the mailer. Just anything to secure the books shut and in two small stacks so that they wouldn't shift around each other and cause damage.

Sorry you went through this. Recently, I ordered a couple of Happy Hollister books (from different sellers), and was overwhelmed by the care they both took in packaging the books well. If I were you, I would let this person know how displeased you are with their lack of effort.

I have noticed in particular how wonderful Etsy sellers are. They wrap the books up nice, sometimes in wrapping paper, and often put ribbon on them making it look like a present. They go above and beyond. One Etsy seller used blue bubble wrap, so some of them buy special supplies to make their packages look really nice. If you want to feel special, buy a book from Etsy.
I also find that most sellers from Amazon and AbeBooks tend to pack single books in such a way that the books won't get damaged. Often the packaging is very basic but done in such a fashion that the book is perfectly safe.

Natural disaster are a constant threat that we can often do nothing to stop. The best we can do is be prepared for them by securing our offices and making sure the damage will be minimal. Many people think that a natural disaster such as a hurricane or tornado come in and than leave almost as quickly as they arrived but that is not true the effects of a natural disaster can last days or weeks depending on how severe the actually storm was when it occurred. Cleaning the office after a natural disaster can be a daunting and dangerous task if safety precautions are not followed. Before you even think about cleaning your office after a natural disaster you should call your local building inspector to acess the office and check for structural damage. It is important to make sure the building is safe to re-enter before you begin clean up.
Safety Tips For Cleaning Up After A Natural Disaster
Below you will find help tips for cleaning the office after a natural disaster. By using this advice you will be able to safely clean the building and get back to work without accidents or injuries occuring.
• Before Clean Up Begins
• When returning to a building after a natural disaster you want to make sure to go during the day. This will make it easier to see if any damage has occured to the outside of the building.
• Check for electricity as soon as you enter. Again this is a grat reason to go during the day. If the power is still out you will be able to see clearly and acess the damage before cleanup starts.
• Listen carefully for any noises. If the walls or floors are creaking or making unusual sounds there may be structural damage that was not detected. You should immediately call the building inspector and inform them of the noises. They will be better suited to decide if the sounds are normal or a cause for concern.
• When you first enter the building do not use a lighter,matches or anything with a flame to light your way. You should also forgo smoking until you have checked the entire building and are sure there are no gas leaks. If you smell gas in the air you should evacuate the buliding and call the gas company to report a possible leak.
• If there is flooding inside or outside of the building you should never walk through the water without testing the depth. It is possible that the hole is much deeper than it appears. Use a long pole to gauge how deep the water goes before you try to cross over.
• If you see downed power lines you should evacuate the area. Call the electri company and alert them to the situation.
• Clean Up Safety Equipment
• You must wear the proper safety equipment when cleaning after a natural disaster. It is the only way to prevent injuries.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands from splinters,glass and other small peices of debris.
• Safety goggles will help protect your eyes from smal debris that may be in the air as well as nails and wood particles.
• You should wear waterproff steel toed boots to protect your feet while cleaning after a storm.
• If you are going to be lifting than a back brace will help prevent back injuries.
• If there is a risk of debris falling from the ceiling you are required to wear a hard hat while in the building.
• Respirators should be used if there is mold present or other hazardous chemicals in the air.
• How To Clean Up After A Natural Disaster
• Many peices of office furniture may need to be disposed of after a storm. They will likely be soaked with water which will make them much heavier than usually as well as more likely to fall apart. You should exercise caution when removing water logged furniture.
• You should use at least two people for every 50 pounds of weight. This is the best way to distribute the weight of a peice of furniture.
• Only use cleaning chemicals in open well ventilated areas.
• The use of a wet dry vaccum will help to get rid of water and mold that may have occured.
• Always work in teams of two. No person should be allowed to work alone until the bulding has been completely cleaned.
• Bring a change of clothes. If your clothes become soaked while cleaning you should change into a dry outfit. This will help reduce hypothemia and other illnesses.
• Make sure that you can contact medical attention if needed. Check to see if the phones are working or if there is cell phone reception in the area. You do not want to be cut off from the rest of the world if an accident happens.
If you use these tips for cleaning your office after a natural disaster you should be ready to get back to work in no time at all.

- Remove the door trim panel and the plastic sheeting. Temporarily install the window crank handle and raise the window all the way up.
- Unbolt the door lock latch at the edge of the door.
- Disconnect the control cable. Some models may require the outside door handle to also be removed.
- Withdraw the latch assembly from the door.
- Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Lubricate the latch mechanism with lithium grease.

You Are My Love ~ Tsubasa Chronicles Reservoir Cover
I have been performing this beautiful song during my Jpop/anime shows "Animusica" and "Animusica 2.0" but had never took the time to properly record it.
There it is!
"You are my love" originally sung by Japanese seiyuu Yui Makino from the anime Tsubasa Choricles Reservoir. Because a karaoke was never released, my music partner Philip came out with this beautiful piano instrumental. I am trully blessed to have been able to record such an emotional and meaningful song.
Hope you can enjoy it as much as I do!
I had also recorded a "test version" of the same song back in February 2012 after I had suffered a severe voice lost (the first in over 5 years!) over the Holidays. It kind of gave my voice a nice raspy tone though

Man Utd ready to offer bumper contract to Ibrahimovic
Manchester United are reportedly set to fend off interest in Zlatan Ibrahimovic by offering him a fresh one-year contract on a substantial wage rise.
The big Swede joined the Red Devils from Paris Saint-Germain on a free last summer and has since netted an impressive tally of 28 goals across all competitions.
Though many predicted that the 35-year-old would struggle with the pace of the English game, Ibrahimovic has managed to answer his critics, and he is now being tipped to accept the 12-month extension attached to his existing deal.
According to The Mirror, United are prepared to keep hold of Ibrahimovic for at least another season with the club's hierarchy willing to offer a salary package worth £20m-a-year - similar to what he would receive in the MLS.
Nevertheless, the veteran has yet to express his desire to prolong his Old Trafford stay with the club yet to be assured of Champions League football for next season.
Manchester United currently sit four points off the fourth-placed Manchester City, but they could as well qualify by lifting the Europa League crown.

The Flea's Human Resources Advisor forwards news from Hanzi Smatter, "dedicated to the misuse of Chinese characters (Hanzi or Kanji) in Western culture." It seems Nike has made a somewhat odd choice of message for a pair of $320 trainers. I doubt this was the image they were looking for.
The phrase means "self-suspicion" or "self-doubt". What a great way for Nike to rub "buyer's remorse" in these sneaker fans' faces and their empty wallets (except the sneaker pimps).

Thanks for sharing these tips on using a tiller to prepare my garden! I'll give it a try!
Time to Till: Using a Tiller to Prepare Your Garden for Spring
There is only one way that plot of soil is going to become the garden that you want this year and that's through some tough work and a bit of patience. And job one is to break up the packed soil from winter. Fortunately, you can make easy work of this challenge with your garden tiller.
A tiller is an excellent tool to help prepare your garden for spring planting because it both loosens the soil and aerates it, which improves soil texture. It's also strong enough to easily remove weeds or leftovers from last year and integrate compost into the soil.
The best time to till is a day or two after it rains because the soil will be soft, slightly damp and easy to work with. If the soil is too wet it will clump heavily, and if it's too dry it will be difficult to till. It's also important to wait until the soil is warm before tilling.
We've got your back with a few simple steps to get you started.
How to Till Your Garden in 6 Steps:
* Before tilling, read your operator's manual and become familiar with how to safely operate your tiller.
- Remove any rocks, debris or thick vegetation from your garden.
- Set the tiller to the appropriate depth.
- Till systematic lengthwise rows across the garden and loosen the top six to eight inches of soil to prepare for planting.
- Repeat tilling if there are any clumps that didn't break up the first time, and remove any objects that turn up in the process.
- Spread lime, manure or compost material of your choice, depending on what your soil needs most, on top of the soil.
- Till again to mix into the soil.
Tilling will help position your garden for successful planting and growing seasons. Look for a tiller with a powerful Briggs & Stratton engine® to help you save time and get the job done right.
For more information about Briggs & Stratton tiller engines, please visit our tiller buying guide.
NOTICE: Customer service questions are not monitored via the blog. If you need assistance with your Briggs & Stratton engine or power equipment, please contact our Answer Center or post your question to our User Community.

Watch: The Frontier Brothers -- "You Should Start A Band"
Our pal Preston Jones just posted the above video
ofThe Frontier Brothers
' new single over on theFort Worth Star-Telegram
's music blog. And good thing, too, as it's something of a keeper: "You Should Start A Band," the lead single off the sometime Austin-, sometime Fort Worth-based outfit's new three song EP, is an earworm of a listen. And the video's pretty sweet, too, following, as the YouTube info-box explains, "a posse of drunk and inconsiderate bears [partying] their way to The Frontier Brothers' underground concert."
Me? I take the bears as more adorably unaware of the ways of the world, rather than inconsiderate. But maybe I'm just a nice person.
I'm nice enough, at least, to point you in the direction of this link, which allows you to download the song for free. It's a synth-heavy ditty no doubt, but still along the lines of the band's last release, Space Punk Starlet, which wowed us just fine back when it was released in 2008. Oh, and you can catch The Frontier Brothers live at Bill's Records on Saturday April 17, as part of the store's joint celebration of Record Store Day and owner Bill Wisener's birthday. There, the Frontier Brothers will be joined by Ha Ha Tonka, Dem Southernfolkz and The Marfalites, among others.

Idaho seeks disclosure of reform ads' backers
Tue., Oct. 23, 2012
BOISE – Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa went to court Monday, seeking to force a defiant secret-donations group to reveal the source of more than $200,000 spent on statewide TV campaign commercials backing three controversial school reform measures.
The lawsuit, filed in 4th District Court in Ada County, asks the court to declare that Education Voters of Idaho is a political committee subject to Idaho's Sunshine law, and order it to file campaign finance reports disclosing donors.
"The voters made it clear, when they passed the Sunshine initiative, that public disclosure is an essential element of Idaho elections," Ysursa said in a statement. "The citizens want to know where the money comes from and how it's spent. That's been the policy and the law of this state for 38 years. My job is to enforce that law."
John Foster and Debbie Field, co-founders of Education Voters of Idaho, maintain that because it's a 501(c)4 nonprofit, it's exempt from Idaho's campaign finance disclosure laws, but the state says otherwise. Ysursa said that when the group failed to respond to the state's demands for disclosure, he headed to court.
"I welcome the involvement of EVI in the electoral process and do not wish to limit their participation," he said. "I am simply asking the court to order them to file the campaign finance disclosure reports that are required by law."
Last week, attorney Christ Troupis, on behalf of the group, offered to refund the $200,000-plus in contributions rather than disclose the donors, but the state called that offer "not acceptable."
Ysursa told The Spokesman-Review, "The money has been received, and the money has already been spent. It's hard to undo that."
Said Ysursa, "Pre-election disclosure is crucial."
Troupis maintained that the new group had no more responsibility to disclose its donors than did the Idaho Education Association and the National Education Association, both of which made large contributions to the campaigns against the school-reform ballot measures.
The state's asking those groups to disclose, too, along with a third one, the League of Conservation Voters. The NEA donated $1.06 million to the Vote No on Props 1, 2, 3 campaign; the IEA made in-kind contributions of $180,021 to the same campaign; and the League of Conservation Voters contributed $15,000 to Conservation Voters for Idaho Action Fund.
Education Voters of Idaho funneled more than $200,000 in secret donations to another group, Parents for Education Reform, to pay for a statewide TV ad campaign backing the three school reform measures on Idaho's November ballot, Propositions 1, 2 and 3. Parents for Education Reform and Education Voters of Idaho have the same leaders and the same address.
Ysursa's lawsuit names EVI's three board members: Field, Phil Reberger and Mark Dunham.
Foster said the group had no comment after the filing of the lawsuit.
But earlier the same day, he and Field sent out a press release headed "We won't back down," and vowed to continue their campaign without revealing their funding sources.
"A decision about further television advertising hasn't been made yet," Foster said.

No, this is actually black and pewter speckled.
Couldn't believe the quality! Especially for hanging heavy pots and pans. It is exactly what I was looking for. Hung it up right away. For anyone with a small area in your kitchen, but needing the extra room due to limited cabinet space, this is the one for you! I especially love the extra links of chain and hooks they provide so you can hang it from all 4 corners to avoid wiggling and wobbling when removing or hanging items. I hung mine lower and added some wood trim pieces (with notched ends) to the top bars as "slats" so I could lay my large oversize lids on top. LOVE THIS ITEM.Read More
Sturdy, attractive, lots of useful hooks
Metal Wire Pot Rack is attractive and useful. Installed it above our island and it looks great. It came with lots of hooks, two sizes actually. I just put up the bigger ones and haven't needed the smaller ones. Shipping was fast....and you can't beat this price!Read More
Pot rack is just what I wanted.
Had a pot rack in my other house and loved it, so when I saw Overstock.com had racks I was thrilled. There were lots of racks to choose from, but I liked this one the best. I liked the color, that it was square, that it has extra hooks for different sized pots and the price. Much better than buying a cabinet to fit my pots.Read More

Over the last 8 years, the DotNetNuke team, and the DotNetNuke community has created a wealth of documentation, videos and books covering all aspects of DotNetNuke. As an Open Source project, DotNetNuke has relied heavily on community members not just for coding and design skills, but also for providing much of the documentation that is available for the platform.
The purpose of this page is to provide a good starting point for anyone who is new to DotNetNuke, and even for many long-time DotNetNuke users, administrators, designers and developers. This list is far from exhaustive, but will provide a very solid foundation that should answer a lot of questions.
There are a number of documents, both free and commercial, that are available for DotNetNuke. All of these documents are kept up to date with the latest releases of DotNetNuke and are extremely valuable to new and experienced DotNetNuke users.
Installation guide
– This basic installation guide should get you started with installing DotNetNuke. It assumes that you already know how to setup SQL Server and IIS and focuses entirely on the DotNetNuke side of things in order to keep the guide short and simple.
Quick administration guide
– At 375 pages, the Quick Administration Guide is not all that quick, but it does provide information on practically every feature in DotNetNuke making it a very valuable resource. Of course, compared to the 1700+ pages that is the full SuperUser Manual, the Quick Administration Guide is a quick read.
DotNetNuke user and superuser manuals
– Before there was a book, or online help, or really much documentation at all, there was the User Manual created by Lorraine Young. This is the grand daddy of all user guides.
Online help
– If you want the information in the User and Superuser Manuals but don't really need it to be in PDF form, then checkout the Online Help. It is the same documentation, except that it is not portable.
DotNetNuke Core API help file
– This documentation is brand new on the list. The DotNetNuke Reference Team has been hard at work this year trying to pull this together, and starting with DotNetNuke 5.5 we finally have a Windows Help file that contains the complete core API. This is a work in progress so some sections of the API will contain much greater details than other sections. Note: after downloading this file, please right click if and click the "unblock" button to ensure that the zone file information is stripped (otherwise windows will assume it is unsafe and block active content)
Free Videos
Some people have an easier time understanding content that engages both their visual and auditory senses. To help those individuals there are a number of free videos available which cover a wide range of topics.
For an every growing list of free videos your first stop should be the
DotNetNuke video library
A selection of videos from other sources are also listed below:
Installing DotNetNuke
– This video is a great place to start if you are new to DotNetNuke and want to get it installed. Chris Hammond spends some time explaining how to install DotNetNuke and how to deal with some of the issues you may encounter along the way depending on your specific machine configuration.
Installing DotNetNuke with the Web platform installer
- This video takes users through using Microsoft's
Web platform installer(Web PI)
to install DotNetNuke. Web PI is a free tool that makes getting the latest components of the Microsoft Web Platform, including Internet Information Services (IIS), SQL Server Express and the .NET Framework framework installed first, before installing DotNetNuke. With the current web platform installer you need to make some tweaks to get DotNetNuke running under Windows 7 using WPI.
Basic DotNetNuke Administration
– In the second video in the DotNetNuke Basic series, Chris covers the fundamentals of DotNetNuke and shows how to perform many of the common administrative tasks.
Basic DotNetNuke Module Development
– This is the third video in the DotNetNuke Basic series by Chris Hammond. If you are interested in creating modules for DotNetNuke, then this video will help you get started.
Basic DotNetNuke Skinning
– In the fourth video in the DotNetNuke Basic series, Chris covers how to create your own custom DotNetNuke Skins. The DotNetNuke Basic series contains over 6 hours of instruction and provides a wealth of information to help users get started with all aspects of DotNetNuke development and administration.
DNNHero Tutorials
– Aderson Oliveira has over 130 videos on various aspects of using DotNetNuke. Each video is 5 to 10 minutes in length. In these videos, Aderson covers a wide variety of topics that span both configuration and administration of core DotNetNuke features as well as discussing 3rd party modules and extensions.
PSDtoDNN Tutorials
– Like Aderson, Rick Beddie has created dozens of videos that cover many different administrative tasks in DotNetNuke. These videos are much shorter than those from DNN Hero and often only run between 1 and 5 minutes. Don't let the length fool you, these are still very useful videos when you are just trying to find that one button or dropdown box to enable or disable a feature.
DNNProfessor Tutorials
– Before Aderson and Rick started creating their videos, Buck Anderson had created a number of terrific videos on DNNProfessor.com. While Buck has been somewhat quiet in 2010, there is still a lot of useful information in these videos and they are well worth your time to review. If you have purchased XMod, then Buck has a number of videos covering that particular module.
Paid Videos/Webinars
The free video content is great, but sometimes you just need more information or you need very specific information that is more targeted to your particular needs. In those cases, you should checkout some of the paid video options.
Advanced DotNetNuke Webinars
– DotNetNuke Corporation provides a number of paid webinars that go in depth on every aspect of DotNetNuke. If you don't see a scheduled webinar that specifically addresses your needs then speak with
Chris Hammond
and he can customize a training course specifically tailored for your organization. These training courses go well beyond the free webinars and videos available online and are offered for those looking to take the next step into the world of DotNetNuke.
DotNetNuke Creative e-Zine
– Lee Sykes has created a large number of videos and articles covering most aspects of DotNetNuke. These videos fall somewhere between the 10 minute videos provided by DNNHero and the 90+ minute comprehensive training videos and webinars created by Chris Hammond. Like the DNNHero videos, each DNN Creative video is generally focused on a single task, feature or module.
While the community continues to churn out more and more free documentation, sometimes a book is the best resource for the job. If you want to know how to package your module or you want to know what a specific skin object does, then chances are that you will find that information in one of the many reference books available for DotNetNuke.
DotNetNuke 5 User's Guide: Get Your Website Up and Running
– In this book is a good beginning reference for people wanting to get a DotNetNuke website up and running quickly. Chris Hammond and Patrick Renner focus on those tasks commonly faced when installing and configuring a DotNetNuke website without bogging the reader down with all of the advanced options and settings which are rarely needed by most DotNetNuke users.
Professional DotNetNuke 5: Open Source Web Application Framework for ASP.Net
– If you really need more in-depth coverage of the features in DotNetNuke 5 then this is a good book for you. Written by some of most active members of the community, this is a well researched book which goes into great detail about all aspects of DotNetNuke including, installation, administration, development and skinning. The only downside to this book is that it is starting to get a little dated. Originally written for DotNetNuke 5.0, there are many features which have come out in the last 18 months that are not covered in the book. If you are looking for a great reference book on DotNetNuke then this is the one to get. When supplemented with the current user guide and API Help file, it provides a solid foundation for fully understanding DotNetNuke.
DotNetNuke 5.4 Cookbook
- Most recent published book covering many aspects from installation to advanced module development.

Community Generated Content
DotNetNuke has a very large and passionate user community. That community is constantly creating great content that is made freely available to other members of the community. If you need a question answered – check the forums. Want to get the latest scoop on a feature that was just released - read the blogs of the developers who work on the platform. Want to find out what kind of sites you can create with DotNetNuke – browse through the sites on the DNNGallery. These sites are just a few of the ways that the DotNetNuke Community gives back to others in the community.
– The DotNetNuke forums are the hub of the DotNetNuke Community. This is where the most active community members hang out. If you need a question answered, chances are pretty good that someone in the forums knows the answer and is willing to provide the assistance you are seeking. Just remember that everyone in the forums is there as a volunteer, so be nice. We were all new users at some point and have not forgotten some of the challenges of learning a new system. As long as you approach the forums with a little bit of respect for those who are volunteering their time to help you, then you should have a pretty positive experience.
– The blogs on dnnsoftware.com are written by members of DotNetNuke Corporation and members of the Core Team. If there is some new feature in DotNetNuke or some major community event, chances are pretty good that you will read about it here first. Some of the blogs are pretty technical and some are more social in nature, but all of them provide a lot of insight for the community into what is happening with the platform.
- this wiki is a growing list of content of interest to all DotNetNuke users including hosts, skinners, developers, admins and users.
– Originally created by Chris Hammond, DotNetNukeBlogs.com aggregates blogs from many of the leaders in the DotNetNuke Community. There is some overlap with the blogs on dnnsoftware.com, but there is quite a bit of unique content that is aggregated from the blogs of various community members like Mitchel Sellers, Cuong Dang, Will Morgenweck, Bruce Chapman and many others.
– The DNNGallery is a great site to checkout some of the top websites built using DotNetNuke. All of these sites were submitted by various community members to help show off the great capabilities of DotNetNuke.
Extension Forge
) is the community repository for free Open Source extensions (modules, providers, skins, etc) for the DotNetNuke platform.
Community Exchange
-The community exchange is a place on the dnnsoftware.com website where users can exchange questions and answers. It is powered by the Q&A module which functions similar to Yahoo Questions (in addition to other question oriented websites). If you are familiar with StackOverflow, the user experience is somewhat similar.
Conferences and Community Events
Every year, DotNetNuke users across the globe get together to discuss DotNetNuke. We meet at local and national conferences and user groups. This is a chance to get a little more direct contact with key community members and learn from some of the best minds in the DotNetNuke community.
DotNetNuke World
– The DotNetNuke World conference is held every year in Orlando, Florida. This conference is the premier event in North America for DotNetNuke developers, administrators and designers. With attendance by most of the major DotNetNuke vendors, DotNetNuke Corporation engineers and DotNetNuke Core team members, if you have a question about some aspect of DotNetNuke, you are guaranteed to find someone here who can answer your question or at least put you in touch with the right person. This is the place to be if you want to find out about the new features that have come out this past year, and those features that are being worked on for 2011.

– OpenForce Europe is the counterpart to the DotNetNuke Connections event and is the place where Europeans come together to learn about the latest with DotNetNuke. Attendees tend to be predominantly from Europe but still include a number of high profile DotNetNuke Corp employees and DotNetNuke Core team members.
Day Of DNN
– The Day of DNN is a series of community driven events that started in 2009 with Day of DNN – Orlando. This year there was a Day of DNN – Europe in Paris this past spring and there is also an upcoming Day of DNN – Chicago that is coming up on October 2nd. Much like the Connections and OpenForce events, DayOfDnn provides a great opportunity to meet some of the leaders in the community. These events are generally well attended and provide great content but are mostly regional events.
DotNetNuke is a great platform, with a great community. If you are really interested in learning how to use DotNetNuke to its fullest then there is documentation, videos and websites that can help you. .
Note: the original basis of this page was the blog
from Joe Brinkman that was a snapshot of useful resources for new and existing users of DotNetNuke. It was transferred to this wiki so it could accept contributions and operate as a living document.

Anti Aging Products
Over time, regardless of lifestyle, skin begins to change. Signs of aging may appear. Fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and loss of elasticity become more visible. The signs can be the result of collagen breakdown, slower cell turnover, and loss of moisture. Damage is intensified by sun exposure, environmental elements, and smoking. A Strong preventive program is critical to prevent further damage from the assaults and help slow down the aging process.
Exposure to environmental elements like sun, smoke and air pollution cause photo-aging in skin. This not only leads to fine lines and wrinkles but it can lead to more serious skin conditions including skin cancer. With Skinceuticals vitamin c serums you protect your skin against the damaging free radicals that even the best sunscreens can't block. Studies prove antioxidants effectively neutralize chemical reactions generated when skin is exposed to environmental assaults. When used in combination with an effective sunscreen antioxidants and sunscreens provide optimal photoprotection; preventing signs of premature aging, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting skin health.
Try their CE FERULIC OR PHLORETIN CF
Anthelios Sunscreens provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB sun protection. There are long wave UVA rays and short wave UVA rays. Long wave UVA rays cause aging, while short wave UVA rays are linked to skin cancer. UVB rays are the burning rays. Most sunscreens protect against long wave UVA and UVB rays. Anthelios protects against those as well as the cancer causing, short wave UVA rays. Anthelios uses a combination of 3 sun filters to give you a long lasting, truly effective sunscreen.
Try their ANTHELIOS SX for daily use or ANTHELIOS 60 FLUID for a light non-greasy texture.
Neostrata skincare products contain glycolic acid. They correct the visible signs of aging or sun damaged skin, and treat a varieity of skin conditions such as acne, dry skin and dullness or discoloration. Neostrata products come in 2 different glycolic formulations. AHA or alpha hydroxy acid and PHA or poly hydroxy acid. AHA's are small glycolic molecules designed to enter the skin quickly and penetrate deep into the skin. These can irritate some sensitive skin types. Pha's are larger glycolic molecules, they penetrate the skin slower and are less irritating than the smaller AHA formulations. PHA's are great for rosacea prone, sensitive skin types that are looking for an effective glycolic skin care regimen. Glycolic helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, fade away age spots and stimulate the skins production of collagen and elastin. It also is great for temporarily minimizing pores as well as improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.
Try their DAYTIME PROTECTION CREAM W/ SPF 15 for sensitive skin types or ULTRA SMOOTHING DAYTIME CREAM W/ SPF 15 for a non-sensitive skin type.
please browse the complete product lines for various other skincare products to meet your needs.

There were jubilant scenes among Rochdale's hip, young and happy shoppers in the Espanade this morning as the news broke that the one-millionth sloppily produced rehash of the epic bunker scene from the seminal German WWII movie Downfall had hit popular youth video sharing web phenomenenon Youtube and was 'in with a bullet' within its first week of viewing on the top-pop sharing site with no less than a cool 1.8 million hits. The latest reworking (the first to reach the milestone one million landmark) features a beleagured Boris Johnson looking not entirely dissimilar to a bit-flustered Hiter pretending to be Boris Johnson, with a bunch of other Nazis/Tory MPs.
Downfall (In its native German 'Der Untergang') is a 2004 historical war film depicting the final ten days of Adolf Hitler's rule over Nazi Germany in 1945. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and written and produced by Bernd Eichinger, the film received critical acclaim upon release and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Since then, the clip of the film's famous bunker scene has been the go-to choice for every unimagiative wannabee-satirist and armchair/bedroom rent-an-opinonist vaankschaft from here to Timbukthree, having been used up to now by pan-political causists the world over, ranging from local rednecks campaigning against Pickering War Weekend to Moldovan crisp enthusisasts complaining about Gary Lineker's lack of involvement in bringing back Salt 'n Shake Chicken Giblets 'n' Tofu' flavour Walkers to their nation's newsagents.
Local Rochdale hero Mark E Smith, who played Hitler in the clip, seemed unperturbed by the news however. "Wassah, wah fuh guh fuh.. Salford" he informed us IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE HERALD.
We look forward to the two-millionth re-working with baited breath…

Grants and scholarships are highly sought-after, because they don't have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while scholarships are usually merit-based. The US Department of Education offers a variety of federal grants, such as Federal Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG grants). However, there are some cases in which you may have to repay certain grants. For example, if you withdrew early from the program for which the grant was given to you, or if your enrollment status changed in a way that reduced your eligibility for a given grant.
There are thousands of scholarships, from all kinds of organizations, and they're not hard apply for online. You may find that you're eligible for an academic scholarship if you're an outstanding student, or an athletic scholarship if you stand out on the playing field. Digging deeper, there are niche scholarships awarded for a variety or reasons, such as because your parents work for a particular company, or you are a member of a civic organization such as the Rotary Club.

Mumbai, April 15: On a muggy Mumbai afternoon, a swarm of skittish sellers turned stock markets into a slaughter house, shredding investor confidence and leaving the sensex bleeding like it was on May 28 last year.
The index was tottering below the key 6250-mark, at 6248.34 points, as it plunged 220 points. Shareholder wealth on Dalal Street ' market capitalisation as it is called ' shrivelled by Rs 50,000 crore at Rs 16,62,779 crore.
A confluence of factors whipped up the selling frenzy, the most apparent of which was Infosys Technologies' forecast for the first three months of this financial year.
'Markets do get into a funk occasionally. It's more of a crisis of conviction rather than a serious problem,' said Ramesh Damani, a prominent broker on Dalal Street.
Infosys's conservatism about its immediate future was stoked by the now-familiar spectre of hardening US rates and jitters over weakness in global metal prices.
'There was all-round selling in the market,' rued Ajit Sanghvi of MSS Securities, a leading institutional brokerage. He felt rising US rates had prompted foreign investors to wait before pumping in fresh money, the shortage of which could have hastened the slide.
Amid the dire collapse, however, was a band of optimists like J P Morgan, CLSA and Kotak Securities. The three firms reaffirmed their faith in Infosys, despite the whiplash it suffered at the hands of guidance-spooked investors. They saw the stock at Rs 2400-2500 next year, even though it fell a 7.5 per cent to Rs 1945 today.
The start of trading said it all: the BSE sensex opened 128.19 lower at 6339.75. Later, it plumbed an intra-day low of 6232.37 before winding down to 6248.34 at close.
Some took consolation in the fact that the slide was part of a global downtrend in which Tokyo's Nikkei shed 192 points, Hong Kong's Hang Seng 133 points and the London FTSE 34.60 points. Early trading in US offered little hope of a dramatic change in market direction.
More interesting was the trend in the futures market, where indices are quoting at a discount to the spot segment. This is a signal that spot rates were overvalued.
Operators also had to contend with the metal misery as prices on the London Metal Stock Exchange hovered near recent lows.
Among sectoral indices, the BSE-IT index surrendered 160.20 points at 2434.47, the bankex 115.77 points at 3771.08 and the BSE-metal index 291.35 points at 5947.98. In the specified group of the BSE, 175 shares, including 29 from the sensex, declined. Only 20 were gainers.
Rupee dips
The rupee declined to 43.83 against the dollar, felled by surging demand for greenbacks from banks and by weakness in the international equity market.

مناقشات علم الدلاله والبراغماتيك
المناقشه الاولى
semantics is mainly concerned with a speaker's competence to use the language system
pragmatics is a person's ability to derive meaning from specific kinds of speech situations
المناقشه الثانيه
We usually make a distinction between introducing new referents (a puppy) and referring back to them (the puppy, it).
We saw a funny YouTube video about a boy washing a puppy in a small bath.
The puppy started struggling and shaking and the boy got really wet.
When he let go, it jumped out of the bath and ran away.
In this type of referential relationship, the second referring expression is an example of anaphora ("referring back").
The first mention is called the antecedent.
So, in our example, a boy, a puppy and a small bath are antecedents andThe puppy, the boy,
المناقشه الثالثه
The term exponential analysis is a semantic approach which assumes that word meaning can be described in terms of distinct components, many of which are binary.
Components are qualities embedded in any word's meaning, like the ones seen in dictionary definitions.
E.g., Dog refers to a mammal. Also, it refers to domesticated and carnivonat
that incompatibility of tear
المناقشه الرابعه
Field theory as proposed by Trier is essentially concerned with paradigmatic relations. About the same time Porzig [1934] argued for the recognition of the importance of systematic relations, between e.g.bite and teeth, bark and dog, blond and hair. In a slightly different way Firth [1951]. Argued that,'' you shall know a word by the company it keeps''. His familiar example was that of as which occurred [in a now defunct variety of English]. In you silly-, Don't be such an-, and with a limited set of adjectives such as silly, obstinate, stupid, awful and occasionally] egregious. For Firth this keeping company, which he called collocation, was part of the meaning of a word. As we have seen, meaning was also to be found in the context of situation and all the other levels of the as well
المناقشه الخامسه
Synonyms are two or more forms with very closely related meanings, which are often, but not always, interchangeable in sentences. E.g., broad/wide, almost/nearly, cab/taxi, youth/adolescent, purchase/buy
المناقشه السادسه
Date (a point in time) -Date (fleshy fruit)
So they are homonyms.
Date (on a letter)
Date (an appointment)
Date (a social meeting with someone)
So they are polysemy.
المناقشه السابعه
man = [+ male], [+ mature] or woman = [– male], [+ mature] or boy = [+ male], [– mature] or girl = [– male] [– mature] or child = [+/– male] [– mature]. In other words, the word girl can have three basic factors (orsemantic properties): human, young, and female. Another example, being edible is an important factor by which plants may be distinguished from one another (Ottenheimer, 2006, p. 20). To summarize, one word can have basic underlying meanings that are well established depending on the cultural context. It is crucial to understand these underlying meanings in order to fully understand any language and culture.
المناقشه الثامنه
Unitarian Universalism[2][3][4] is a liberal religion characterized by a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning".[5][6] Unitarian Universalists do not SHAREa creed but are unified by their SHARED search for spiritual growth.
