" Author: A E Van Vogt / Paperback / 155 Pages / Book is published 1978-06-01 by New English Library Ltd "
Empire of the Atom.
A good little read but still a great story.
There have been three world wars and the Earth barely survived, now thousands of years into the future the universe is much different. The planets of the universe are populated but barely eek out an existence due to the fact that they must send nearly all of their resources back to Earth.
On Earth the populace and the outer planets are reined over by the Royals. The royal family tightly controls all technology and uses it mercessly if needed. They keep the planets in order by threat.
But now a change has occurred. Clane has been born into the palace. Clane sadly has some deformities due to early history atomics. However Clane is royal and so is put in a house hidden away within the palace grounds. It is from here that Clane undertakes some schooling but the deformities of his body are counteracted by the phenomenal brain power he has been born with.
Clane secretly develops new atomic technologies.
If the Royals find out they will kill him, if the outer planets find out they will kill him to get hold of the power. But Clane has a plan and it will change the universe forever.
Put simply this really is a page turner; you will end up unable to put this book down. The writing is crisp and fast. The plot has a few really good twists in it and although a little dated the book is still a wonderful read. This must be one of Vogts best novels. A good read on the plane or the beach.
Highly recommended, give it a go
Written by A.E.Van Vogt.
Empire of the Atom.
Author - A.E.Van Vogt.
It is after the Atomic wars and all the worlds history and the historical records have turned to dust.
Those people now living, thousands of years in the future, are allowed access to only the basic sciences.
Whilst the Palace strictly controls all of the sciences.
The outer worlds are colonised but unhappy at the yolk around their necks imposed by the ruling royal family living on Earth.
Then a child is born into the palace...
A mutant child....
Clane is deformed, his presence and very life is suffered by the peoples of the palace.
Clane, having to live hidden and alone in the grounds of the sumptuous palace.
Clane with a sharp inventive mind, a mind and body shaped by long forgotten Atomic wars and the resulting radiations.
Clane discovers NEW uses for the Atomics that almost destroyed the Earth and outer worlds so many millennia ago. First he must protect himself from harm using tiny atomic generators small enough to fit inside of a ring and hence give him immense hidden powers.
But the outer worlds are rebellious and soon a new war will come. A war that could annihilate the Earth completely.
A war from the stars.
But Clane realises that the ruling powers within the Palace will soon demand his discoveries and the outer worlds will want to kill Clane as quickly as possible.
So Clane decides to go on the offensive and plot subtle and devious schemes to allow him to become sole ruler of the universe.
A solid page turner.
The flow of narrative is simple and very easy to follow.
True the characters lack any real depth, but the book is simply a great read!
Imaginative ideas make for light reading, A beach book.
One of my favourite books.

Hi Marta mostly it is in the preventive stages. When you cut your HSTs you need to be aware of what your corners look like. Usually it is because the corners are not even between the two color fabrics. Your seam needs to come to the corner and be accurately placed.Originally Posted by marta
Here are the important things to remember. You can see my tutorial on this here
If you need more help you can pm me! Hope this helps!!
Look at the corner the light side is bigger than the dark side at the tip of the corner
This one the two fabrics are evenly distributed at the corner. the seam is in the middle of both fabrics

Does anyone know of any examples of global link list?
Does anyone know of any examples of global link list?
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
I don't know what you mean by global, but there's a linked list tutorial here at Cprogramming.
- Linked Lists The basics of singly linked lists http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson15.html
actually, that tutorial is not fully correct. For example, this
Code:struct node { int x; node *next; };
what is incorrect about that? Looks like valid C++ to me
It should be:The original version could be made valid with an appropriate typedef.Code:struct node { int x; struct node *next; };
Oops, sorry, it is C++. As shown by pdc, change the struct definition, and the print line:
To:Code:cout<< conductor->x;and you've got the C version. I guess that's assuming your compiler will compile the // comments.Code:printf( "%d ", conductor->x );
have'nt heard the word global link list.do tell me if it is diff than link list.
in between wat r u trying to do swoopy.he dont know link list and u r telling him how to access members
Do you have to try to be this stupid, or does it just come natural? He was shown an example of how to search for linked lists. He was shown an example of how to set up a node for a linked list. Why is it then, he shouldn't be shown how to access members of said node?
You should change your name to "I'm a ........ing idiot."
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

The Sustains eHealth service, managed by the County Council of Uppsala, is an increasing success in Sweden. Since it took off about one year ago, the service registered over 40,000 users who are now utilising access to their personal health records and other administrative services. This way, patients are more empowered and involved in their treatment.
The service coordinators are delighted to be awarded for their efforts. On 27 November they received the prize out of the hands from a representative of the Swedish Ministry of Health.
"We know that this would not have been a reality had the concept not been supported by the European Union", says Benny Eklund, Sustains project coordinator.
Important prize
The 'Grand Prize' is organised every year by two Swedish magazines, Computer Sweden and Dagens Medicin. It is considered to be the most important prize for ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in healthcare in Sweden.

Failure of the passage of a continuing resolution has led to many federal offices and services shutting down. Understandably, there is concern about whether such a shutdown will impact federal flood relief assistance in Colorado. While Vice President Biden was touring flood damage in Colorado last week, he spoke at length about how a government shutdown would not halt flood relief efforts by any means. In fact, Vice President Biden said that "none of the federal assistance that we're providing--none of it--is going to be impacted even if there is a government shutdown" (click here for full video).
Rep. Cory Gardner released the following statement on federal flood relief in Colorado:
"I am grateful for Vice President Biden's visit to Colorado last week, and am glad that he was able to view the damage caused by this tragic flooding for himself. The Obama administration's willingness to offer assistance since the flooding began has been appreciated by all Coloradans who were impacted.
"Along with Governor Hickenlooper, myself and members of the Colorado Congressional delegation, we stood two feet away from Vice President Biden while he spoke at a press conference in Greeley and promised that federal assistance in Colorado would not be impacted in the event of a government shutdown. As President Obama's chief surrogate, I trust Vice President Biden's word. The President and Vice President must stay true to their promise and see to it that federal assistance is not slowed or stopped in any way as the Vice President promised.
"As the chief executive of our state, Governor Hickenlooper must ensure that President Obama keeps his promise and sees to it that federal assistance is not slowed or stopped in any way. Members of the Colorado Congressional delegation are working hard here in Washington to secure relief, and our elected officials in Colorado must do the same."
Gardner sent a letter to President Obama today reminding him of the Vice President's promise. Text of the letter is below:
Dear Mr. President:
As you know, Colorado is recovering from some of the most devastating floods in state history. Catastrophic water levels caused over $1 billion in damage to infrastructure and property throughout my district and other areas in the state. More than 20,000 homes were damaged or destroyed, eight individuals lost their lives, and overflowing rivers left a path of devastation. I am grateful for the recovery efforts led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Guard, and others involved in this process. Federal assistance is critical in this time of need and I have fought to ensure that funds are available for disaster relief. On September 30th, my legislation that would raise the cap on disaster-related transportation funds successfully passed the House.
Unfortunately, Congress has not yet come to an agreement to fund the federal government and the nation is now facing the effects of a government shutdown. While I am working diligently with my colleagues to resolve this funding gap, it is vitally important that the people of Colorado do not suffer as a result of gridlock in Washington. To this end, I was pleased to hear Vice President Biden pledge to the people of Colorado that "none of the federal assistance that we're providing--none of it--is going to be impacted even if there is a government shutdown." This commitment from the White House is reassuring for my constituents and others in the state worried about the impact a shutdown might have on disaster funds. I appreciate your support in this recovery and look forward to working on behalf of the thousands affected by these recent events.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (202) 225-4676. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Cory Gardner
Member of Congress

So I've been playing Far Cry 3 for a while now.... And MOST of the time I only I play it is using takedowns, *THE GLITCH* so every time I try to use the Gunslinger Takedown, when I take the enemy's pistol, it appears to be invisible and when I shoot, it DOESN'T cause any damage it's just my hand pretending to shoot. It doesn't happen all the time with the Pirates, just some times. But all the time with the mercenaries and privateers.
*ISSUES* So the issue is every time I take the pistol, it's most likely to be empty or just 1 bullet, seriously?
When those *******s have infinity assult rifle and other weapons ammo they barely have any ammo with pistols? WHAT THE HELL?!
And why the hell do I take damage when I'm using my enemy as a meat shield?
Please fix this.

The Beyond 2002 Super Festival, which was held on April 13-14 at the Bicentennial Park in Miami. Florida, reportedly drew 5,000 people on the first day and some 2,000 attendees on the second day—a number that fell far short of the 20,000+ that the event's organizers, Todd Ross, 24, and Justin Moss, 23, had hoped for. A private investor who provided the bulk of the more than $4 million needed to put on the festival reportedly lost the bulk of the funds when the crowds failed to pick up.STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, THIRD EYE BLIND, SLICK RICK, DOUG E. FRESH, THE OFFSPRING, LUDACRIS, and AFRICA BAMBAATAA were on Saturday's bill. ICE-T, SNOOP DOGG, OUTKAST and FATBOY SLIM were scheduled to appear Sunday.

Chip resistor manages repetitive surge and pulse loads
Post a comment
Raleigh, N.C. Stackpole Electronics, Inc. has introduced an anti-surge, thickfilm resistor technology as a surface-mount replacement for wirewound and axial-leaded film products, particularly in applications with repetitive surge and pulse load requirements.
Designated the RPC series, the chip resistor is available in resistance values from .27Ω to 22 MΩ in tolerances to 5% with temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) ratings of 55 ppm/°C. The high-energy chip device also handles 1800 W for 1 millisecond for load power and transient voltage demands. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C.
Typical pricing for the RPC series is approximately $0.05 - $0.10 each in quantities of 5,000. Delivery is six to eight weeks.

Border Patrol Busts Continue on Olympic Peninsula
More Border Patrol action on the Olympic Peninsula reminds me that the permanent war on terror is simply the excuse for the permanent destruction of American democracy in favour of the Amerikkkan police state. Here is another example of innocent folks being bulldozed by the broken system. I am grateful to see that there are also those willing to protest actively against such police action.

60 demonstrate in Forks against Border Patrol checkpoints, detention of two youths
By Jim Casey and Leah Leach / August 31, 2008
FORKS — About 60 people protested Saturday in the wake of U.S. Border Patrol detention of Forks residents, including a recent high school honors graduate and a 16-year-old boy.
"Border Patrol Terrorizes Children!" read one sign held outside the Transit Center on South Forks Avenue.
"Honk if you support immigration," said another.
"Edgar lost his chance," said a sign held by Nenita Bocanegra.
"He was sent back to Mexico," Bocanegra said. "I got sad . . . and we made a sign for him."
Edgar Ayala, a Forks High School athlete who graduated with honors in June, was arrested during a Border Patrol checkpoint near Forks on Aug. 20, said Forks Mayor Nedra Reed.
Since then, he has been returned to his father in Mexico, she said Friday.
He had been in the United States since infancy, she added.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Carlos Bernabe was in federal detention in the Seattle area, said Border Patrol, spokesman Michael Bermudez in Seattle.
Lorie Dankers, spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Seattle, said she was not certain which facility the youth was in.
The boy could be released to a relative, Reed said, but his stepmother "would not go to pick him up because she was an illegal.
"I found out that his family, out of fear, have returned to Mexico," she said.
Bernabe's father was in Mexico, she said, and the teenager had lived in the United States.
"He's scheduled to appear before an immigration judge to determine what to do with this child," Reed said.
"What I've been trying to do for the last two days is get hold of someone and find out if they will release him to someone in town.
"I have someone who will take care of this child."
Stepped up enforcement
The Border Patrol is stepping up enforcement with checkpoints at three places on the North Olympic Peninsula, said Joseph Giuliano, deputy chief border patrol agent last week.
One is on U.S. Highway 101 at Milepost 198 between Forks and Beaver. Checkpoints reportedly were set up there on Aug. 20 and last Monday.
Another location is on state Highway 104 near the Hood Canal Bridge. Border Patrol agents ran a checkpoint there for about five hours on Aug. 22.
The third location — which had yet to be used last week — is on U.S. Highway 101 south of Discovery Bay in Jefferson County, Giuliano said.
At the checkpoints, agents are looking for terrorists and illegal immigrants, he said.
Agents also arrest people who have outstanding warrants.
Giuliano said the Peninsula is receiving additional attention from the Border Patrol because its long, remote coastline makes it difficult to secure by boat.
"When we can't cover all that ground up front, we rely on checkpoints," he said.
Said Bocanegra, "I want it to stop, because there's a lot of people who have been separated and who are scared.
"There are a lot of kids that are scared, that have seen families separated," she said.
"Some kids don't want to go to school because they are afraid."
The arrests of the two young people again brought to a head again the issue of illegal immigration to the West Ends of Clallam and Jefferson Counties.
Here, migrant workers harvest salal for florists as avidly as loggers fall trees for mills.
Tanya Ward, one of the organizers of Saturday's protest, is a member of the Hoh tribe who told Peninsula Daily News that illegal immigrants are treated with the same unfairness she said is shown to Native Americans.
"I don't think it's right for them to be taken out of their homes when their children are here and they're not doing anything wrong," she said.
Sanctuary city?
Ward said she wanted to propose that Forks declare itself a sanctuary city.
Such cities — an undetermined number of them across the country, starting with San Francisco in the 1980s — discourage municipal employees from enforcing or aiding enforcers of federal immigration laws.
To that degree, Forks already is such a city, Reed said, because city police "are not immigration officers. We are not employing any immigration activities on our own."
However, Forks officers will provide assistance and backup when asked to do so by Border Patrol officers or agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement division of the Department of Homeland Security.
"That's our mandate; that's our job; that's our role and responsibility," she said.
More poignant and perhaps more pressing, Reed said, is the fear that pervades Forks's Hispanic community as more Border Patrol officers take up duties on the North Olympic Peninsula.
Forty-five officers currently work out of the Port Angeles headquarters.
Although it is against the agency's policy to search for illegal immigrants in schools and churches, some parents are afraid to leave their homes to buy school supplies for their children, Reed said, or to send them to school when classes resume.
Others have taken to shopping for groceries in the small hours of the morning to avoid what they fear are roaming Border Patrol officers, she said.
Afraid she'll lose 'Auntie'
Reed said she'd had a 7-year-old girl in her office Friday, weeping because she feared her "Auntie" would be arrested and deported.
And while the mayor said the parents of such children place them at risk, "My God, what happens to the kids?"
Concerning declaring Forks a sanctuary city, Reed said no one officially had posed the idea to her or the city council.
"I'm not sure what our legal standing would be," she said.
But she was certain the issue of illegal immigration has divided Forks citizens.
"You have those people who are trying very hard to live up to their moral perception that they need to do something to help these folks," she said.
Other residents are in favor of deporting illegal immigrants immediately, she said.
Reed angry at Congress
As for the Border Patrol, Bermudez said agents have no choice but to arrest people they find are in the country illegally.
"We are obligated to take action," he said. "We swore an oath.
"It would be malfeasance if we did not do our job. It would subject us to punitive action."
Forks was the scene of a march by 700 people protesting immigration policies on May 1, 2006. Since then, its city council has had presentations from the Border Patrol on its policies and performance.
Reed, however, is angry — at Congress.
"We need a federal immigration policy," she said.
"Our federal government and our Congress have got to do something about illegal immigration.
"We hired them to do a job. We hired them to make the tough decisions."
As for the fate of Carlos Bernabe, Reed said Friday, "I've been waiting for a call all day and I've received nothing. It's so frustrating.
"We'll begin the process again on Tuesday."

Day 2 in Ballroom 20 at Comic Con is finally over. It was such an epic day it required two of us to get full coverage. While I spent four hours waiting in line to get in, TVBlend Editor Kelly West was in the front of the room getting all the juicy bits from Walking Dead and Torchwood: Miracle Day.
I came in just in time to catch Big Bang Theory, and I'm still convinced this is not a show for geeks. It's certainly not done by geeks. After that we jump into two shows I'm not familiar with in Eureka and Warehouse 13. The best part about these was seeing Felicia Day, who I'd have a crush on if it didn't sound so juvenile to say that. I'm pretty sure my wife is OK with a Felicia Day crush; she probably has one too.
My video recap of day 2 is below, complete with my swanky Chuck shirt we got during Preview night here at Comic Con. Who says you can't be comfortable and sport a spiffy outfit at the same time?

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
can a successor in interest represent itself? trying to protect my interest in a property and the bank is saying my case is invalid because I am acting pro se and I am not allowed
Asked on 8/20/13, 9:27 pm
2 Answers from Attorneys
Anthony Roach Law Office of Anthony A. Roach
I would have to know more details about the case to know for sure. You can be a successor in interest to a deceased person, but not be able to represent others. It is not clear whether this is a probate matter or a straight real estate matter or a combination of both.
Answered on 8/21/13, 6:54 am
Scott Jordan Dunning Law Firm
Unless you are a corporation, you have the right, as an individual, to represent yourself. However, whether you have standing to pursue a claim is an entirely different matter.
You should contact a local real estate attorney for a consultation.

Lost Volume
I have played D'Addario J74s for a long time and thought I might give Elixir a shot, I love them on me guitar. However on the mandolin they are a quiet string. I lost volume and the strings were not as articulate as the J74s. They did have a good tone and if you were playing by yourself or possibly with a built in mic it would be fine. I could not recommend these to a bluegrass player. They did feel nice on your fingers.

Valuing Catastrophic Citrus Losses
Courts are often required to estimate changes in welfare to agricultural operations from catastrophic events. For example, courts must assign damages in lawsuits, such as with pesticide drift cases, or determine "just compensation" when the government takes private land for public use, as with the removal of dairy farms from environmentally sensitive land or destruction of canker-contaminated citrus trees. In economics, the traditional method of quantifying producer losses is estimating changes in producer welfare, but courts rarely use this method. Instead, they turn to substitute valuation methods that may not fully capture welfare changes, such as changes in land value, tree replacement value, and total revenue. This study examines various measures for valuing the back-to-back catastrophic freezes that occurred in the Florida citrus industry in the 1980s. We first use the traditional method to determine the welfare change due to a freeze (1) for a citrus grove that loses one crop and is able to return to full production the next year, and (2) the lower measure of welfare loss due to a citrus grove that loses all of its trees and is abandoned or is replanted. The lower measure is used to simulate the legal doctrine of avoidable consequences. These measures are then compared to substitute valuation measures that have been used by courts to determine welfare changes. For case 1, total revenue overestimates losses by 35.6%. For case 2, total revenue overestimates losses by 55.3%, tree replacement value underestimates losses by 93.6%, and changes in land value underestimates losses by 13.2%.

Editor's Note: Following an unsuccessful attempt to do so under Oregon law, the Oregon legislature recently acted to adopt amendments to the Portland Metropolitan urban growth boundary, as well as the prospective designation, over a 50-year term, of certain lands as "urban reserve," which may be considered suitable for expansion of the urban growth boundary, and of other lands as "rural reserves" to be protected from development for 50 years following designation. Ed Sullivan and Carrie Richter raise some of the complex political and legal issues and related planning dilemmas underlying this legislative "Grand Bargain" solution following the remand of state approval of urban and rural reserves.

Every year at this time, National Merit Scholarship semifinalists are announced by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in Evanston, Ill.
These students, all seniors in the class of 2014 at their respective high schools, are rightly regarded as being among the very best in the nation.
Their lofty academic status is based on scores generated by the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Here in Silicon Valley, the results can be startling.
This year, five high schools have produced a stunning total of 243 semifinalists. In order, they are: Monta Vista in Cupertino (64), Harker in San Jose (55), Gunn in Palo Alto (49), Lynbrook in San Jose (44) and Palo Alto (31). All but Harker are public schools.
It's probably not a coincidence that these schools are near such high-tech, brainiac enterprises as Apple, Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Stanford University.
In Fremont, located in the southern reaches of the East Bay, not far from the valley's heart, Mission San Jose is the Bay Area's National Merit Scholarship semifinalist leader with a whopping 72 designated seniors.
Officials of the prestigious scholarship program always caution that observers should not try to draw conclusions about the quality of schools, whether public or private, based purely on the number of high-achieving students on their campuses. They have a point.
Still, it's hard not to do a double take at some of these eye-popping statistics, especially when you consider that many secondary schools in the region do not possess a single National Merit Scholarship semifinalist and haven't for some years.
Winners of these awards will be made public in the spring of next year.
Mr. Blight
Unhappy residents in the unincorporated North Fair Oaks neighborhood near the Redwood City/Menlo Park border have been trying to entice a recalcitrant homeowner to clean up his property for a long time. It has become something of a cause celebre.
Lately, the authorities have been taking decisive action by removing some troublesome and unattractive structures, just some of the public detritus that has understandably bugged the neighbors.
Their argument has been that the shabby place in question has become a glaring eyesore. And, for good measure, the last name of the property owner is Blight. How appropriate. You cannot make up this stuff.
Wi-Fi ruse
In the realm of reader reaction, George Guiver has responded to an item in this corner that referred to a seemingly disturbing Wi-Fi designation, "FBI surveillance van." He speculates that the label is probably a ruse.
The Wi-Fi address had been spotted while driving through a Peninsula community recently. He noted that, some time ago, he read a Facebook post that recommended using the phrase as a way to keep folks on their wireless Internet toes, so to speak.
He's more than likely correct on this one. Thanks for the info.
Travel certainty
Timeout. The Capitol Corridor rail line is touting its game-day service for Cal football customers via radio blurbs.
However, while extolling the system's handy benefits, a spokesman warns, "schedules are subject to change without notice." Wonderful.
But isn't the whole point of a schedule to provide travel certainty? If you can't count on the schedule, why risk using the rail system at all? For that matter, if you want to entice riders, why advertise such a potential flaw in the first place?
Real indication
After months of work, a section of refurbished Burlingame Avenue is taking final shape, to the point where shoppers and others can get a real indication of what the upgraded, final product will look like.
The signs are good. Sidewalks are widened considerably. Parking is parallel, not diagonal. Trees will be added soon. The aim is to create a more welcoming small-town ambience in Burlingame's retail downtown shopping district.
It appears to be coming to fruition. The project is expected to be finished sometime next year.
Jaguar Junction
Considering the affluence in many parts of Menlo Park, it's no shock at all that the tony town includes a Mercedes Lane within its boundaries. However, after a thorough search, it turns out there is no BMW Boulevard and no Jaguar Junction. Pity.
John Horgan's column appears Thursday. You can contact him by email at email@example.com by regular mail at P.O. Box 117083, Burlingame, CA 94011.

This is just a tasting note. I steeped this tea 8 times tonight and it took until steeping four or five for the true flavor of this tea to come in and stabilize. For me the astringency and kuwei are backwards. For this tea, the astringency is at the front and the kuwei plays a backing role. It is still a really good tea, I just wish the kuwei played the leading role.

$110 and possibly even $140+ per barrel in the next 6-18 months.
If you look at the weekly investing chart of crude oil the key support and resistance levels area clearly marked. A breakout of the white pennant will trigger a move to the next support or resistance level. And judging from the positive economic numbers not only form the USA but globally the odds are increased for the $110+ price target to be reached sooner than later.
Crude Oil Price Chart – Weekly Investing
Crude Oil Price Chart – Daily short term Analysis & Target
If we zoom into the daily chart and analyze price and volume you will notice the $100 per barrel level is potentially only 2-3 days way… But keep in mind whole numbers (decade & Century Numbers) naturally act as support and resistance levels. So when the $100 century price is reached there will be a wave of sellers with fat thumbs who will slam the price back down to the $96 and possibly back down to the $92 level before oil continues higher.
Utility Stocks – XLU – Weekly Investing Chart
The utility sector has done well and continues to look very bullish for 2013. This high dividend paying sector is liked by many and the price action speaks for its self… Keep in mind you can view my actual watchlist of stock and ETFs I trade in real-time with my analysis free:https://stockcharts.com/public/1992897
Energy Sector Weekly Investing Chart
Energy stocks which can be followed using the XLE exchange traded fund (ETF) typically leads the price of oil. Looking at energy stocks we can see that they are outperforming the price of crude oil and on the verge of breaking out of a large Cup & Handle pattern. If so then $90 is the next stop but prices may go much higher in the long run.
Energy Stocks and Crude Oil Conclusion:
In short, crude oil is stuck in a large trading range much like gold and silver which I just wrote about here: http://www.thegoldandoilguy.com/articles/precious-metals-miners-making-waves-and-new-trends/
Once a breakout takes place on either the white or yellow lines on the first crude oil weekly chart we should see oil, energy and utility stocks start making some big moves. Depending on the direction of the breakout (Up or Down) it must be played in that direction to generate substantial profits obviously.

This article is about the Uthgardt tribe. For the Reghedmen tribe in Icewind Dale, see Tribe of the Elk (Icewind Dale).
The Elk tribe was one of the Uthgardt barbarian tribes whose realm of influence includes the Evermoors, the Dessarin and the lower Surbrin valleys. Under the leadership of chieftain Zokan Thunderer,(as of year 1359.) They have also gained loose ties with Luskan.
In 1372 DR, the Elk ancestral mound was the Flint Rock.[1][note 1]
With respect to the other tribes, the Elk were the most arrogant and self-indulgent, often regarded as nothing than mere bandits. They raided caravans and villages endlessly, taking prisoners ransom or selling them as slaves.[2]
Under Zokan's rule, clerics of Talos gained a stranglehold on the tribe.[2]

AN interesting set of results last Thursday has left the top of Section One with six teams separated by just two points with four games left.
The main beneficiaries were the North Oxford Conservative Club (Summertown) and the Black Swan (East Oxford), both of whom eked out victories whilst their four main rivals all suffered setbacks.
After four consecutive losses, the Con Club had a convincing display against the Royal Sun (Begbroke). Forging a narrow advantage early doors, they stretched this to 10 points entering the final round, eventually prevailing 78-67.
Matters were a lot tighter, however, for Captain Conway and his Black Swan Academy gang over in Bletchingdon against the division's front runners, The Black's Head. The hosts, required to correctly identify Gandhi to post the win on the last question, failed and the Black Swan swooped to snatch the bonus and the contest by 65-64.
With this setback for The Black's Head, the Green Road Club had the opportunity to move clear at the top of the section. However, they were facing Premiership leaders, the Plough (Wolvercote), beaten just once in their previous nine outings. Despite a fairly solid performance by the Kidlington outfit, they lost 83-70 but are the favourites for the championship pennant.
With the Plough maintaining their triumphant passage, it was imperative for the Royal Blenheim 'A' (Oxford City) to get the better of their opponents, the Seacourt Bridge (Botley). This they duly achieved and in emphatic style, meting out an 86-60 walloping. This propensity to score heavy could prove vital at the end of the season should the Plough and the Blenheim have the same number of points.
It has been a struggle this summer for the Ploughman's Bunch!, Premier Division champions last winter. After an enforced absence, they welcomed 'The Pad' back into the ranks last week and despite Charles inexplicably timing his holidays to coincide with this joyous reunion and for a quiz, I am informed, which was '….very Charles-orientated', the Bunch! squeezed past the Gardener's Arms (North Parade), 77-73.
In the 'Battle of the Basement' the White Hart, next to bottom in Section One, pulverised the side lying below them, the poor old Royal Blenheim 'B'. Not normally noted for travelling well, the trip home would have been pretty sweet this time around following the 85-37 spanking doled out by the Eynsham unit.
The stand-out tie this round looks to be in Jericho involving the Gardener's and the Green Road. A win for either puts them well in the mix for the final shake up.

It's taken Jayson Werth a little while to build his plate appearances up to the level needed to qualify among the league leaders, but he has finally gotten there.
And he now finds himself in the top three among National League players in three major categories.
Werth's .325 batting average ranks third in the National League behind just Yadier Molina (.330) and Chris Johnson (.326). His on-base percentage (.402) ranks third, behind Joey Votto (.434) and Shin-Soo Choo (.410). And Werth ranks third in the NL in slugging percentage (.534), trailing Carlos Gonzalez (.591) and Paul Goldschmidt (.550).
Werth also ranks third in the league in OPS. I guess threes are wild for the Nationals right fielder.
Players need to average 3.1 plate appearances per team game in order to qualify among the league leaders. Werth missed a month due to a hamstring injury, leaving him playing catch-up when it came to plate appearances. But after getting four plate appearances last night, he's gotten there.
And due to his red-hot play over the last two months - his .380 batting average since July 1 leads all National League position players - Werth's name is all over the statistical leaderboards.
Steve Lombardozzi will get the start at second base for the Nats tonight, with Anthony Rendon getting the day off. Other than that, the Nats lineup looks exactly like it has from 1-8 in the order for the entirety of this brief homestand.
The Nats will send Dan Haren (8-11, 4.66 ERA) to the mound tonight, and the Mets will counter with rookie right-hander Zack Wheeler (6-3, 3.42 ERA).
Haren has been tremendous lately and has allowed just eight runs in his six August starts, five of which are a direct result of home runs.

Suspected pirates seized a South Korean freighter with 21 crew members in the Indian Ocean, a news report said Saturday.
Forces believed to be Somali pirates hijacked the 10,000-ton ship early Saturday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said. It said the crew members included eight South Koreans, but did not give the nationalities of the others.
Calls to South Korea's Foreign Ministry seeking comment rang unanswered Saturday.
The reported hijacking comes two months after Somali pirates freed a hijacked South Korean-operated supertanker and its 24 crew - five South Koreans and 19 Filipinos - after seven months of captivity.
Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991. Piracy has flourished off its coast, sometimes yielding multimillion-dollar ransoms.

The Echo & Part Time Punks Present
Minks [Captured Tracks] + Catwalk + Drab Majesty
DJ Michael Stock
The Echo
1822 W Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, California, 90026
This event is 18 and over
Watch & Listen
The first handful of MINKS singles were released amidst Captured Tracks' first wave of dreampop in 2010, alongside labelmates, Beach Fossils, Wild Nothing, Craft Spells and Catwalk, with their near-perfect debut LP released shortly after in 2011. (All of which have received heavy airplay on the PTP radio show since their release.) Their new LP, "Tides End" finds the band fusing dreampop with electropop textures, at times channeling early Depeche Mode, or at other, Denim (aka Lawrence's post-Felt fusing of pop and electro). And on every track, singer/songwriter Sonny Kilfoyle's vocals are lovelier than ever. This is MINKS first-ever headlining show on the West Coast, and his appearance at PTP has been in the planning stages for something like 3 years now, so don't miss this rare opportunity to (finally) see the band live!
CATWALK's debut LP is finally nearly complete, and looks to drop on Captured Tracks this fall... (The dreamier side of MBV meets The Wake and Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils...) And if you thought the debuts by Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing debut LPs were good, just wait til you hear Catwalk's! The band have promised to unveil more new songs tonite, so you're in for a real treat...because the live show is just as good as the recordings!
Drab Majesty
Ariel Pink meets Fad Gadget meets Ziggy Stardust meets Genesis P-Orridge making lo-fi darkwave dreampop post-psychedelia occult-style shoegaze on cassettes (in his bedroom). This is DRAB MAJESTY. Behold, thee Majesty, and not drab at all.

SAN RAFAEL — A San Leandro man on parole for pimping has pleaded guilty to negligently firing a gun during a fracas involving two women in San Rafael.
Rodrick Nathan McNutt Jr., 34, is expected to get a two-year prison term when he is sentenced in June, Deputy District Attorney Michael Wear said Friday.
The incident began Jan. 6 in San Rafael's Canal area when witnesses told police they saw an apparent prostitute arguing with a man over money and then beating a woman with a baseball bat.
Then a van pulled up and the driver fired a gun. The suspected prostitute left with the van driver.
The Highway Patrol stopped the van on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and police said they found the suspects, a handgun and suspected drugs inside.
Police identified McNutt, who is on parole for pimping and child molestation offenses, as the driver and gunman. The passenger was 29-year-old Oakland resident Enjoli Mixon, police said. She has pled guilty to drug-related charges, Wear said.

Ohio State vs Iona Live Stream Free: Watch Online NCAA 2013 March Madness College Basketball (TV Schedule)
Ohio State vs Iona takes place in the NCAA 2013 tournament on Friday night with the No. 2 seeded Buckeyes looking to start a good run in this year's competition and hopefully make their 12th Final Four appearance. The game takes place from 7.15 p.m. ET from the UD Arena in Dayton and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).
The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming into this game on an eight game winning streak. They have one of the best defenses in the competition, and recently finished second in the Big Ten regular season, and beat Wisconsin 50-43 in the championship game.
Junior Deshaun Thomas managed to score 17 points and seven rebounds, however, what will have concerned coaches is that the team struggled badly from the three point range, going 1 for 16.
However, the strong defense of Ohio State will come up against a fierce offense in Iona tonight. Iona have the second best defense in the nation, scoring an average of 80.7 points per game.
The No. 15 seeded Gaels are coming into this game in good form having won their last five games, beating Manhattan 60-57 in the MAAC title game.
Junior guard Tre Bowman scored 20 points in that game, and they also have Lamont Jones averaging 23 points per game.
Ohio State vs Iona is scheduled to tip off at 7.15 p.m. ET and can be watched on CBS or alternatively can be watched online through free live stream by clicking here.

Olson an outdoorsman, shop owner
Easter was observed at Fair Oaks Lodge on Saturday by the 7th Day Adventist Church's fine program and on Easter Sunday by a Protestant group. Other programs who have given us an enjoyable time are John Keranen's third-grade reading class from WDC. It was smiles all around. An hour with the friendly Gypsy Cowboy's music happened one afternoon. We thank the 4-H clubs for bringing their annual program to us again this year.
A new activities event is called "The Price Is Right." A groceries item is held up for the residents to guess on the price now along with what it would have been worth 10 years ago.
There were many surprises. A follow-up will be a trip soon through some grocery store by those able to go to see for themselves , then come back to report findings to the rest.
Jack Olson was born in Wadena 70 years ago to Prosper and Tracy Olson. Prosper was a professional over-the road trucker, driving big semi trucks from coast to coast long before microwave ovens and hydraulic seats were a part of their equipment. Prosper enjoyed trucking but regretted time spent away from family, possibly the reason he never wanted his sons to follow suit.
Jack's interest in cars goes back almost as far as he can remember. He followed this interest up by going to a trade school in Fargo where he graduated in car bodywork. He never got over the challenge to make beat up or damaged cars look like new again.
Finding employment was not a problem. Jack has worked in Wadena, in Owatonna where he had his own shop for six years, in Minneapolis for 21, a couple of years in Alaska, and several other places. None of these places at that time featured safety precautions, like masks when they used paint. Jack escaped most of these problems.
A hitch of four years in the Army, spent in Germany, accounts for a part of what Jack did, as well as four years in the National Guard. Those two years he spent in Alaska was working with Sitka pine. He cut down big trees, sawed lumber, made pallets, all of which combined to make Minnesota look better and better, where there was more than six hours of daylight part of the time.
Jack married Sharon Brill when he was 23. They had two sons. Sharon was postmistress in Motley for more than 10 years.
Many years ago Jack became interested in trap shooting wherever they lived. A real plus was when Sharon became enthused as well. Together, they have shot in many competitions, for practice and fun. It is not unusual for them to shoot up a couple of hundred shells in an afternoon. Sometimes they refill the casings with powder.
In the world of trap shooting, Jack's record is up with the best, like 23 and 24 hits out of 25 shells. He has trophies to prove it. Jack is a member of the Knob Hill Sportsman's Club. A medium-severe stroke cruelly brought those interests to a screeching halt.
Jack has hunted and fished in many places including Alaska and Hawaii. He has been among those giving black powder demonstrations at the Old Wadena site.
Sitting inside, in a wheelchair, is hardly Jack's cup of tea. Thank goodness, he and Sharon have all of those great times to relive and talk about when Sharon comes to visit, like the time their john boat overbalanced, dumping Jack and his friends in icy water before it was even time to shoot.
This is Jack's favorite time of year. Everything waking up, buds on trees starting to swell, birds singing a different song. Even people walk faster come spring. It is the best time to be out in the woods or on a lake. Nature smells so great.
Do you think folks will like my story? They will, huh. Well, tell 'em to take an extra sniff for me while they're out there.


text: Hey all, I have a b6 cab and want to do the b7 facelift... (not rs4, cause i ain't going to do everything like the rear quarters so theres no point). I know from a b7 cab, most parts fit straight on. I need the bonnet, headlights, front panel, grill, bumper, wings and almost everything from front end. I once found a b7 cab breaking, but i missed that opportunity. However, theres more chance of finding a saloon that is breaking. Just wanted to know whether the headlights, bumper and bonnet is the same on a b7 cab and on a similar saloon? I know the wings are different so i'd have to go audi for them, but kinda hoping the bonnet, headlights, front panel and bumper is the same?

Just out of curiosity do you reload? I agree that a Ruger Blackhawk is a good bet, but I ask because even "range" .44 mag ammo (factory) is not cheap...

The cost of factory 44 mag ammo is important. But it just depends on how much you think you are going to shoot it.

Ruger Blackhawk. Then start saving for a reloading set up. You will never really see what that gun is capable of until you reload for it.

Ruger Blackhawk is a great gun to start with. There's plenty of them available and the price is pretty reasonable. Very strong gun and quite accurate.

"Don't have a lot of money" and ".44M Cowboy guns" don't go together. You're .44M SA options are kinda limited and none are cheap. Blackhawks don't come in .44M it takes a Super Blackhawk for that and then you're looking at a $150 to $200 price increase right there. We haven't even gotten to ammo prices yet. IMO, stick with .357's or even .45's or .44sps. Then you up your options to include a whole bunch of import clones.

44 mag western gun
Look for a Virginian on GB or a Ruger Vacaro or Blackhawk.The Virginian would be cheaper but they are not made any longer and parts are harder to come by.It looks much like a Colt SAA.

They aren't inexpensive anymore.
They start around $700 and go up from there.
MSRP on a brand new Super Blackhawk is $719.
I was going to recommend a Virgian Dragoon, but, decided to check and see what they go for now.
Now might be a good time to think about selling mine..
I'll probably wait and see what happens w/the AWB though...

Superblack hawk
Keep your eyes open in the pawnshops an such for a used superblack hawk. Being you dont have a lot of money on hand to spend, Talk to your local gun store owner and see if you can make payments on one that may be slightly out of your price range. once you do pick a .44 up, you may want to look into reloading because .44 magnum is not cheap what so ever. you can load "cowboy" loads cheap.

I've learned the grip on the super blackhawk is too small for me. My pinkie is under the bottom, so I replaced the grip with a Hogue brand. Since then, I've also learned that the Bisley version has a larger grip than the standard or super blackhawk. In my case, at first I thought I should have bought the Bisley, but then it looked like the barrel length I wanted was not available in that model. So take a look at the Ruger website and research all the different models.

SASS? single action?...
Are you talking about a SASS or cowboy type single action six-shooter?
Uberti markets a few firearms that look like replica western guns.
Ruger & Beretta USA sell a few western guns too.
Check GunsAmerica.com or maybe Dixie GunWorks.

I can highly recommend a Ruger Vaquero. I have a 5 1/2" Vaquero in stainless steel. It is my fun gun and is literally a blast to shoot. A used one should do very nicely.

If your going to shoot a 44 mag on the cheap, your going to have to reload. I load some at 44 special specs for plinking with lead bullets and jacketed for hot (make my day) plinking. You just cannot shoot 44 mag factory ammo on the cheap.

The O.P. was reloading back in July of 2009 (I clicked on his ID and peeked at his previous posts. Took about a minute.) He has started a couple of threads about Cowboy Action Shooting and posted some questions about bullet mold sizes.
So, while he did not provide this information in the beginning, I suspect he is interested in CASS with a gun that will double as a "big banger"
Unfortunately, the Super Blackhawk (and most all Blackhawks) will not fit in the CASS scene, as they have adjustable sights. Purist groups will ostrasize anyone using such a gun, but some who are not as strict will allow it.
I think it might be tough to find a 44 Mag with fixed sights that will fit the CASS mold.
If you want a 45 Colt capable of the really heavy 45 Colt loads, the same limitations apply.
However, the Ruger New Vaquero in 45 Colt or 44 Special/44 Russian (both cartridges that were used in the proper historical time frame to qualify for CASS) might be just the ticket.
Good luck.

Ruger made the large-frame Vaquero in .44Mag for awhile, so used models should be available. Probably more of them in .45Colt....which can be loaded rather warm in a big Vaq.

I know no one has mentioned it, but I suggest a Blackhawk. Super Blackhawks are superb also.

All good advice so far.
I'll ditto the advice to also get started reloading. I could not have afforded to shoot my Redhawk .44 mag. for years if I did not reload. And, that was before ammo prices started rocketing upwards.
Plus, with reloading you can customize loads for different uses.

+1 Ruger Vaquero - as in the original large frame (only way a fixed sight Ruger .44 Mag has come) - made for about ten years and available in all Colt-like barrel lengths if you look around.
Blue/faux case hardened frame combo or polished stainless. They are essentially fixed sight Super Blackhawks.
- Ruger durability
- Colt sixgun looks in a slightly larger, heavier frme befitting the .44 Mag
- Full "six up" capacity--safe with transfer bar.
- no longer made
- in stock form, the cylinder indexing over-travels the chamber-to-the-loading port making re-loading (or ejecting cases) a bit more tedious vs the current Flattop and New Vaquero design, Colts, USFAs and Colt-patterned imports. Free spin kits re available which rectify the chamber over-travel however. As suggested, these kits do not "stop" at all on their own.
As far as new: fixed sight .44 Mag, look at Uberti Callahan, avilable with a unique (to the Colt pattern) 6" barrel--the length I've most often seen them in--and fluteless cylinder like the Super Blackhwk. IIRC, a 4-3/4" barrel is also available. Also unique 1860 Army grip, which is slightly longer than the 1851 Navy used on most Colt SAA-patterned guns. (The Callahan is also available in adjustable flattop style target sights). I have seen these at Bass Pro Shops and elsewhere. All blue (no cch)--like the recent years' New Vaquero (and all years' Blackhawk) line.
- Colt Sixgun feel and looks (other than unique 6" barrel) with the "requisite" hammer mounted firing pin and Colt four-click hammer.
- Army grip for larger hands with "pinky under" issue
- Ubertis have come a long way' wouldn't worry about durability/problems. Still, if intending on regularly shooting "super heavy" loads, I'd lean toward the Ruger.
- nice one piece walnut grips
- availble new
- despite built in "safety," it's not a transfer bar, IIRC, and I would only load 5 - leaving empty chamber under the resting hammer
- see "super heavy loads" above.
Both are slick pieces.

text: Inside iPad: "Hand a two-year-old child a shoe and he will probably end up throwing it. Hand him an iPad, however, and he'll navigate through it to find his favorite app in no time. According to a new survey from security software maker AVG, kids can grasp new tech skills long before they even learn how to do normal kid things, such as swimming or tying their shoelaces. AVG surveyed 2,200 parents with children between the ages of two and five in the US, Canada, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Nineteen percent said their kids know how to access a smartphone application (and it's not just the older kids either17 percent of 2- to 3-year-olds did as well). Another 58 percent can play a computer game, and a quarter of kids can open and operate a Web browser. By comparison, only nine percent of kids between 2 and 5 can tie their shoelaces, 20 percent can swim without help, and 43 percent can ride a bike."

"The first and governing maxim in the interpretation of a statute is to discover the meaning of those who made it."
"A mentor stops contributing when he is seen as a statue of wisdom who just talks and never involve himself in the project/idea."
"He who studies MA in English Literature but fears the name Shakespeare is one who studies shadow but afraid of its statue."
"Jackie Robinson was honored in the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. What a ceremony. It doubled the number of statues in the rotunda because when it was mentioned that he was a lifelong Republican and Richard Nixon supporter, the Democrats turned to stone."

LED Basics
LED lighting is not a new idea. It is only in the last few years or so that the technology's efficiency and efficacy surpassed CFL and HID lighting. This makes it hard to find cost effective lighting replacement, without large upfront cost. But at Eco Brooklyn we are passionate about improving the energy efficiency of Brooklyn brownstones and constantly tinker with the technology to see how we can use it in our building. So let the experiments begin!
LEDs are typically DC devices that can be powered either through a controlled Voltage or Current drive source. Voltage sources have to be stable. Any tiny fluctuation in voltage can cause a purportionally greater current spike. This translates into flickering lights. On the other hand, Current driver circuits are expensive and yield low wattage, high efficiency configurations. This can cause an unreasonable cost associated with powering each led fixture.
To explain the difference between the two power source terms I will use a small analogy. Think of electricity traveling through a wire as water through a pipe.
Voltage = 'Pressure' of electricity
Current = 'Amount' of electricity
If you happen to have a dead computer around then you might have a working voltage source. Your computer power supply can be converted into a stable voltage source with a high wattage rating. (Added benefits include built in protection against over voltage, short circuit, open circuit, temp, and just about anything else that could cause a safety issue. )
To drive an LED from a Voltage source you need to put a Resistor in series with the LED. This is a good way to create a simple stable voltage controlled current source. What kind of resistor do I use? Well here is a calculator for figuring out your LED resistor needs. You will just need some of the information from your specific LED's limitations.
