Too bad Americans have to relearn this stuff again and again. These guys are at war with the United States and belong in Gitmo for the duration. There not criminals. They're warriors, and captured warriors belong in Gitmo.
The senior Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee wants no more Guantanamo Bay detainees released to Yemen in the wake of a Christmas day terrorist attack hatched in that country.
"Guantanamo detainees should not be released to Yemen at this time," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said in a statement. "It is too unstable."
Feinstein's warning comes just nine days after the Department of Justice announced the most recent transfer of 12 detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Afghanistan, Yemen and Somaliland. Six of the 12 were transferred to the government of Yemen.

Rugs serve us to cover walls and floors since many centuries. There aren't many houses without any rugs today. The practical piece meanwhile became a furnishing item, which doesn't only unify functional advantages, but also apparent characteristics. Discover the pretty rugs and the newest trends for your home and be inspired by our ideas!
A rug adds warmth and comfort to our homes. The combination of classic rugs and modern furniture is very interesting. The manufacturer fatboy included a modern rug into its assortment, with the trendy Orient style. The reduced patterns and colour combinations transform the traditional Persian rug into a real collector's piece. The rug with its Persian appearance wonderfully suits modern furniture, offering a homely atmosphere to them.
One of the most ancient methods of producing a rugis the knotting technique. Since the single yarns are knotted by hand, the knots are very close to each other. This makes the rugs soft and dirt-repellent. The knotting technique is ideally suitable for elaborated patterns in the rug. The designer Simon Legald created the hand-knotted rugs collection Oona for Normann Copenhagen. These ones play with forms and contrasts and they are characterised by their clear and graphic appearance.
Woven rugs ornament walls and floors since a long time. These textiles inspired the manufacturer ferm living so that the Kelim Rugs emerged. These ones are also produced with weaving techniques, like their ancestors. The woven rugs are made by hand, which is the reason why each rug is unique. That's the reason why the woven pattern varies from rug t rug, making each piece unique.
Tufting is the technique with which three-dimensional textile surfaces are produced. It is the most used technique to produce floor rugs all over the world. The design of the Ruckstuhl Palm Leaf rug is characterised by its three-dimensional effect. The curves and lines on the rug are slightly raised by the tufting technique. The elevation and deepening of the lines looks great and it is pleasant to our feet.
Regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner is important for the maintenance of every rug. To clean with a vacuum cleaner is even the most affordable method. Spots on your rug should be removed immediately. This is mostly achieved with mild shampoos and lukewarm water. Please note the care instructions of your rug before you clean it, to be sure not to make any mistake. The care instructions are often under the rug. A professional cleaning of your rug is suggestable every year or every two years, that will make it last for a long time.

2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty First Drive
America's Most Powerful Pickup: Ford's Second-Gen 6.7L Power Stroke
When you look at the shiny exterior of a 2015 Super Duty, you may not think that anything has changed. From the outside, it's the same truck that it has been since 2011. You'd be wrong. Under the hood now lives the heart and soul of the most powerful pickup on sale today.
In 2011, Ford introduced their first in-house diesel engine, the 6.7L Power Stroke. Now, four years later, we've been gifted the second generation of their creation. Thanks in part to a new turbocharger, fuel mapping, crankshaft, pistons, and oil cooling, this monster powerhouse now churns out an earth-shattering 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of torque. Lucky for us, but not for the rear tires, we were handed the keys and told to go have fun.
Having spent plenty of time behind the wheel of the previous generation Power Stroke, we were excited to see if it was going to live up to the hype. The first thing we noticed was an increase in off-the-line turbo lag. However, this was expected due to the larger single-compressor turbocharger that replaced the first generation's single-sequential unit. Once on it, the boost is subtle but noticeable. For an 8,000-pound truck, it moves quite briskly.
While the body and most interior trims have remained the same, the King Ranch model we were driving received new richer, more-premium leather, a redesigned King Ranch logo stitched onto the center console lid, and several new color options.
Our time with the 2015 Ford Super Duty was short lived and spent mostly unloaded. Where this truck really shines is hooked to a trailer, saddled with a load, or just plain doing work. Without a purpose, all the extra power is good for is shortening the lifespan of the rear tires.
Overall, the more powerful second-generation Power Stroke engine and the capabilities that it brings to the table excite us, and we can't wait to get our butts back on its premium leather.

Gasoline Powered
The Power Stroke diesel engine isn't the only powertrain available in '15 Super Duty trucks. For those looking to forgo the $8,000-plus option price of the oil-burner, there is the standard-issue 6.2L gasoline-powered V-8. This engine is no slouch, churning out 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Jumping between the diesel and gasoline mills, it's noticeable that there is a power difference. However, if all that you drove was the gasoline-powered pickup, it wouldn't leave you wanting.
Where the 6.2L shines is in the fleet application, where you're hauling light loads or towing small trailers. The landscaping industry comes to mind first. It also makes a great choice for recreational use when toys being hauled are more than a ½-ton can handle but not quite into diesel territory. Going this route you will sacrifice fuel economy, to the tune of 2-3 mpg unloaded and nearly double that when loaded down. But at the end of the day, the $8,000 savings by not taking the diesel option will sure buy a lot of gasoline.

Towing with the F-450
When it comes to towing, the F-450 has its sights set on the crown. While the F-350 boasts a higher payload capacity, the F-450 comes in with a rated towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's 1,190 pounds more than Ram 3500's best and 8,000 pounds higher than GM's.
Overall, the truck does what it claims to do. It tows a lot of weight and does it with relative ease. In our short time behind the wheel, the Ford out-accelerated both of the competitors, and the truck's new exhaust brake did an excellent job keeping speeds in check on the downhill. Ford recognized the shortcomings of the previous generation and managed to improve upon all of them. The bar has certainly been raised.

Using Newspapers in Hispanic Research
This article originally appeared in "Hispanic Research" by George R. Ryskamp, JD, AG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Newspapers have existed for many years in Hispanic countries, even in smaller towns. Many have been microfilmed, and references to them can be located either on microfilm or hard copy in the following:
- Newspapers in Microform: Foreign Countries.
- Catalog of the Library of Congress.
- Many university library catalogs (identify these through the Interlibrary Loan Service).
- Catalogs of the bibliotecas, hermotecas (newspaper archives) or archivos nacionales of the country and archivos estatales of the state or province of interest.
Although obituaries are more common in small-town newspapers in the United States than in Latin American countries, the Hispanic researcher should carefully search all local newspapers in the area where his or her ancestors died for a published obituary.
Coming soon...

Myriads of stars embedded in the heart of the nearby
galaxy NGC 300 can be singled out like grains of
sand on a beach in this Hubble Space Telescope image.
The Hubble telescope's exquisite resolution enables
it to see the stars as individual points of light,
despite the fact that the galaxy is millions of
light-years away.
NGC 300 is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky
Way galaxy. It is a member of a nearby group of
galaxies known as the Sculptor group, named for
the southern constellation where the group can be
found. The distance to NGC 300 is 6.5 million light-years,
making it one of the Milky Way's closer neighbors.
At this distance, only the brightest stars can be
picked out from ground-based images. With a resolution
some ten to twenty times better than ground-based
telescopes, Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys
(ACS) resolves many more stars in this galaxy than
can be detected from the ground.
The color composite was made from filtered images
taken in blue, green, and infrared light. Hot, young
blue stars appear in clusters that form in the galaxy's
spiral arms. Ribbons of deep red stars mark the
location of gauzy curtains of dust that partially
hide the light of the stars behind them. Near the
center of the image is the bright and compact nucleus
of the galaxy where even the ACS loses the ability
to separate the densely packed stars.
The individual exposures that were combined to
make this new image were
taken in July and September 2002. These Hubble data
are being used to test a new method for measuring
distances to galaxies and to compare it with the
more traditional methods, such as the period-luminosity
relationship of pulsating stars known as Cepheid
variables. Measuring distances is a perpetual but
important concern for astronomers.
Some of the luminous blue specks in this image,
young and massive stars
called blue supergiants, are among the brightest
stars seen in spiral
galaxies like NGC 300. By combining the stellar
brightness with other
information, such as the stellar temperature, surface
gravity and mass
outflow, astronomers are defining a new technique
to measure distances
to galaxies located millions of light years away.

Pot smokers with proper papers in California can exhale in a sigh of relief. Federal drug agents won't be wasting their time raiding medical marijuana dispensaries here and in 13 other states that share similar laws.
The Obama Administration will release new guidelines Monday involving medical marijuana that discourage police and federal agents from arresting patients and suppliers as long as they're following state laws.
The new guidelines are in line with a campaign promise Obama made during his presidential campaign.
Justice Department leaders say it's not a good use of time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in compliance with state laws. Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington also have state laws similar to California's, allowing use of marijuana for medical purposes.
Under Proposition 215, more commonly known as California's Compassionate Use Act of 1996, patients with a valid doctor's recommendation are legally allowed to posses, grow and use marijuana for medical reasons. But advocates in California have pushed to legalize marijuana for more than just medical purposes.
Former state Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, who hails from the Alameda County, launched a statewide signature-gathering effort last month aimed at reforming the state's marijuana laws. He announced the campaign at the annual conference of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in San Francisco.
Another popular Bay Area lawmaker, San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, has proposed a law that would regulate marijuana like alcohol, allowing people over 21 to grow, buy and posses the weed.
The Tax Cannabis 2010 effort was inspired by Oakland's successful move to tax medical marijuana. The city's forward-thinking approach to marijuana, including the famed Oaksterdam University, prompted Newsweek magazine recently to crown Oakland America's pot capital.
Advocates are gathering signatures to get as many as three pot-legalization measures on next year's ballot in California. One poll shows voters would support legalizing marijuana outright. Many experts have pointed out that legalizing and taxing marijuana could pull California out of the debt.
Oakland is setting an example of how taxing the green can generate real green for the city. It became the first U.S. city to put a tax on medical marijuana with a 2009 vote that garners an $18 tax on every $1,000 in gross marijuana sales. It's estimated to bring in up to a million dollars per year to help the cash-strapped city.
Medical marijuana advocates have been anxious to see how the president would make good on his campaign promise to change the policy.
The new policy is just one of the huge shifts in attitude from the Bush Administration, which insisted on enforcing federal anti-pot laws regardless of state codes. But shortly after Obama took office, DEA agents raided four medcial marijuana clubs in Los Angeles, prompting confusion about the president's plans.

When my daughter was little, we had a silly little tradition of pushing the furniture aside in our living room and dancing around and singing with our favorite CD's (Jewel, Alanis, sometimes even a little Backstreet Boys per my daughter's request) until we were plum worn out! Those are some of the best memories I have, and I hold them close to my heart.
Sometimes, when I have the whole condo to myself and no one is watching, I'll relive those moments, spinning, shaking and twirling to the beat of my favorite songs. It's a carefree feeling that just soothes the heart and soul.
I think the world would be a much better place if we all did a little dancing when no one's watching.
The outfit I'm wearing in today's post carries over that whimsical, carefree feeling with it's softly textured half sweater and flowing gypsy skirt. Both of these comfy Second Life fashions can be found at the Boho Culture Fair happening now through October 31.

Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto is a creamy and delicious risotto recipe. Elegant and fool-proof, too!
echo, echo, ECHO… HAP-py New Year!
(horns blow, confetti falls, smooches abound, etc., etc.)
Hi there! How was your New Years? Ben and I had a wonderful dinner at Alba on New Years Eve – Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Chive Gnocchi, and Salted Caramel Creme Brulee for her / Beet Salad, Seared Scallops, and Chocolate Lava Cake for him (!!) – then rang in the new year buried in a floor fort at home.
I had developed somewhat of a stomachache before dinner (which clearly wasn't bad enough to stop me from eating every last morsel of food on my plate(s)), which unfortunately got worse afterwards. So, instead of hopping over to our friend's shindig, we layered a bunch of blankets on the living room floor, built a fire, and counted down with Times Square at 11pm. I dozed until 11:58, acknowledged the start of the new year in the Midwest, then went to bed. I ROCK!
Poor Ben.
Yesterday I felt much better though, and kicked 2013 off with a rejuvenating trip to the gym, followed by enjoying my family's annual pork and sauerkraut lunch, for good luck in the new year. Long story involving the Pennsylvania Dutch. Football rounded out the rest of the day. Hopefully the Midwest can represent a bit better at the bowl games next year, right? Iowa State, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois…come on guys!!
Anyways, it's back to the grind today! Isn't it crazy to think, just like that, the holidays are over? The sparkle and shine have all been put away, and it's Spring Break we've all got to look forward to now. Ben and I just booked a fun and fancy little trip for April. Can't wait to tell you about it!
Oh boy. Take a day off from blogging and this is what you get – a rambling blogger.
Anywho, I made a special recipe for you guys today. For whatever reason, over the past couple of weeks I've been bombarded with risotto recipes. They seem to be popping up everywhere, and Ben and I ordered risotto three times while in DC. Well, technically he ordered it, and then I ate it off his plate. Aka we ordered it.
In the past I have been uber-intimidated by risotto. All that stirring? Constantly having to pay attention? Did I mention all that stirring??
All the risotto we've had over the past couple of weeks have been really, really – I mean really – delicious though, so I decided to put myself up to the challenge of making it at home. The verdict?
The rumors are partway true – yes, there is stirring involved, about 20 minutes total, but NO, this is NOT a fussy, watch-like-a-hawk dish. It's actually kind of foolproof, provided you don't walk away to, I don't know, clean the garage or something while you're in the middle of making it. In plain English – it's pretty simple!
Not to mention, Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto is mouthwatering. Creamy, and chewy with just a hint of parmesan cheese. It's so elegant, and really, all you have to do is stir!
Start the Simple Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto by heating 2-1/2 cups chicken broth in a small saucepan. You'll be ladling it into the rice, and don't want to add cold or room temperature broth as it would bring the cooking temp of the rice down. Bring the broth to a boil then turn the heat down to low.
Meanwhile, saute 2 Tablespoons onion or shallot in 1 Tablespoon butter until translucent, then stir in 3/4 cup gluten-free arborio rice.
Arborio rice is a short grain rice that releases a lot of starch as it's stirred and cooked, which results in a fabulously creamy risotto.
Next add 1/4 cup dry white wine to the rice then stir until nearly absorbed. I used pinot grigio, which added just a touch of wine-y flavor.
Next start ladling in the chicken broth about 1/2 cup at a time. Add the broth, then stir gently and constantly until the broth is nearly absorbed. Again, this is not HARD, and if you walk away to put a dish in the dishwasher, IT'S OK. Just do your best to stand there and stir like a robot.
My advice? Crank some tunes to help pass the time! I went through 5 or 6 songs while making this entire dish. (FYI, as much as I love me some Hakuna Matata, the Disney songs are for my nephew.) ;)
When you've got about 3 ladlefuls left, add 1/2 cup chopped asparagus and continue stirring as normal.
When there's one ladleful left, add 10 jumbo-sized shrimp then stir until they're cooked and pink.
I used about 2-1/2 cups chicken broth total. You might need a bit more or less. Just taste the rice and see how the texture is coming along. If it's tender and chewy – you're good. If it's chewy but with a hard center, add more (hot) broth. When the rice is nice and tender, stir in 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and pepper then you're done!
See – that was pretty simple!
Simple Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto
Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto is creamy and delicious. Elegant and fool-proof, too!
- 2-1/2 cups chicken broth (may not need all)
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Tablespoons minced onion or shallot
- 3/4 cups arborio rice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (I used pinot grigio)
- 1/2 cup chopped asparagus
- 10 jumbo shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- salt & pepper
- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to low and keep hot.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat then add onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice then stir to coat in butter. Add wine then stir until nearly absorbed by rice. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth to pan and stir continuously until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until nearly absorbed before adding more.
- When there's about 3 additions of broth left, add asparagus pieces and continue stirring. When there's 2 additions of broth left, add shrimp and continue stirring. Taste rice and determine if you will need to use all 2-1/2 cups broth to get the rice to a chewy-tender consistency.
- To finish, stir in parmesan cheese then add pepper and salt to taste.
This recipe is courtesy of Iowa Girl Eats, http://iowagirleats.com.
As I mentioned, this dish tastes simply elegant. If you really want to impress someone, even if it's just your cat, whip up a batch of this risotto!
The creamy rice and shrimp give the risotto substance, too. I was totally full and satisfied after eating a big 'ol bowl of it.
Let me know if risotto makes ya' sweat, too, and if you give this recipe a try. I HIGHLY recommend!

Green design is a pretty fuzzy concept. Everybody defines it differently. And if you can find a set of definitions you like, how do you efficiently include the concept of green into your design process?
The Alcoa Technical Center in southwestern Pennsylvania launched an investigation to find out. Its interest wasn't primarily to improve its own design process. Alcoa makes aluminum shapes from bauxite and other raw materials. Its goal was to find a tool that would convince OEM design engineers that aluminum is a better choice than other materials such as steel or plastics.
Researchers studied several tools, and the findings were reviewed by Stephen B. Leonard, Alcoa's Design and Innovation Practice Leader, at the 2011 International Forum on Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) held in Wakefield, R.I., last month.
One example is SolidWorks Sustainability, a module that addresses environmental impact factors (air, carbon, energy, and water), and provides a basic assessment of transportation and manufacturing impacts.
"The trade-off with this approach is that the concepts need to be designed in the CAD system in order to assess the environmental impact," Leonard wrote in his paper. "Secondly, these designs need to have some level of robust manufacturing detail included (e.g., what type of process, what type of material). This forces a designer to make a decision on a material and process to design in CAD before getting an assessment on the relative impacts of the materials."
A company called Sustainable Minds offers a lifecycle assessment (LCA) tool that analyzes a product's bill of materials (BOM) at the early design stage. It's based on the "Tool for Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and other Environmental Impacts" standard, which was developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency for front-end LCA assessment.
Leonard's take: "The tool is useful for products already designed and categorized in a BOM, and can be an excellent complementary process to other environmental assessment methodologies."

'60 Dart - Perfect Replacement
This 440 Dart more than made up for the one Tim Sobolewski let get away
Its a story weve all heard, or in some cases, lived. That one car we had that we wished was still around. For Detroit-area native Tim Sobolewski, the car in question was something most of us would still give our proverbial eye teeth foran M-code 440-powered 69 Dart. Tim acquired the car in late 1974 when he was 17, paying a mere $750 for the beast, which sported only 9,800 miles at the time. His father was understandably cautious about sending the lad into the wilds of the Motor City with this package, so Tim didnt get to title or drive the rare Camaro-killer until it was officially his in February 1975 when he turned 18.
Similar to the Hurst-built cars (without the lightweight parts), M-code A-Bodies were, frankly, very impractical as transportationtheres nothing like nose-heavy handling on a dark, rainy road with manual drum brakes. Tim now admits the car was more of a headache than a collectors item, but he spent the summer of 1975 cruising Detroits fabled Gratiot Avenue in his A-Bomb, until his girlfriend convinced him to sell it in the fall of the same year.
His friend Rick Leju bought the car. But shortly thereafter, the new owner was again without wheelsthe Dart was stolen by parties unknown and was never seen again.
Fast forward to September 1997. Now employed in the Detroit gauging and machine tool industry, Tim was attending a Goodguys show at Meadowbrook and was looking to buy another Dart. Show participant Mike Signorello had this clean 67 Dart GT on display, so the two men talked for awhile. When Tim made it known he was hoping to purchase a Dart, Mike made the mistake of admitting he might be persuaded to let his GT go. Tim discussed it with his wife, Sheila, who gave her A-OK (good save, Tim) and soon afterward, he went and claimed his prize. A deals a deal, but Tim remembers he almost had to pry the keys out of Mikes hand. Looking at the car, who can blame him?
Truth be told, Tims ride came to him in basically the condition seen here, so he credits Mike with the craftsmanship. Mike straightened the sheetmetal, added a fiberglass hood and bumpers, and then covered everything in PPG Bright Red. The interior has been upgraded withupholstered fiberglass bucket seats and a brace of aftermarket gauges, while a big, 5-inch tach keeps the engine in check. Since the car sees a lot of street duty, a Jensen stereo system was installed to kick out the jams. A six-point rollcage keeps the occupants safe.
Like the M-code car, a 440 is under the hoodthis one a 67 high performance version filled with a massaged OEM reciprocating assembly sporting 10.25:1 pistons. The factory heads were given a good porting and polishing. Tim plays his cards close to the chest in terms of cam informationit sounds nasty though. A complete MSD ignition lights the fuel fed from a Holley 750 carb on a single-plane intake, while a set of Hooker Super Competition headers routed through the fenderwells take care of the back-end of the combustion cycle. Transferring the power to a 4.10-filled 8 rear is a worked 727 transmission rowing through the gears with a Cheetah shifter and manual valvebody. In terms of street footprints, a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street D.O.T.-approved slicks are mounted on the Cragar Five Star wheels in back, while twin 6.00x15 pre-recalled Firestones guide the nose straight ahead.
Compared to the factory monster, this custom-built machine is the hands-down champion. Tim says someday his son T.J. will probably end up with the car. T.J. turned 16 in 2001, and we have a feeling this Darts glory days on Gratiot are not over yet.

The government's flagship energy efficiency scheme has failed to receive a mention in the budget
Despite renewing its commitment to zero carbon homes, the government neglected to mention its flagship energy efficiency scheme, the Green Deal in either the budget document presented to the House of Commons today (20 March) or in chancellor George Osborne's statement to the house.
The omission has been criticised as a 'missed opportunity' for greening UK housing stock.
David Symons, UK director at environmental agency WSP said: 'It's good news that today's budget re-confirmed that all new homes will be zero carbon from 2016.
'But the government has barely started to make Britain's 6 million existing homes energy efficient and today's budget is a missed opportunity to really help kick start underfunded policies such as the Green Deal.
He added 'Support to energy reducing jobs would have helped massively expand the 60,000 registered plumbers and builders who are ready to start work right now'
The UK-GBC has also criticised the government for 'failing to give the Green Deal a look in'.
John Alker, of the UK-GBC said: 'We think that long-term incentives are much needed to boost the Green Deal, although unfortunately it's not terribly surprising that there wasn't anything in this budget, because there is currently £125 million in incentives waiting to be spent on early adopters, and realistically I think we will need to wait until that pot of money runs out before government considers additional incentives.'

Three Ways to Reduce Exposure to Cell Phone Radiation
The debate about radiation exposure from cell phone use still doesn't have a conclusive answer, but the World Health Organization (WHO) classified cell phone radiation as a "potential carcinogen" alongside other hazards like lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. That means prolonged cell phone use can possibly increase the risk of specific types of brain cancer and tumor growth, according to WHO.
Although international research, such as the noted Interphone study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, continues to be somewhat contradictory, experts agree consumers have reason for concern, particularly heavy users and youth.
Cellular radiation, technically referred to as low-level radio frequency, is similar to what is emitted by microwaves. While not as strong as some other sources of radiation — i.e. x-rays — the radiation can penetrate the brain, harm DNA and release destructive free radicals. All of those factors increase a person's chances of developing cancer, especially among children who also tend to be heavy users.
Georgetown professor and epidemiologist Devra Davis is very concerned about the long-term effects of people who use cell phones for decades or more. Consider these easy ways to reduce your exposure to cell phone radiation:
1. Use speakerphone, ear buds or other headsets. The goal of these accessories is to keep the phone farther away from your head, which lessens the amount of radiation you're absorbing.
2. Use protectors designed to block radiation. Mobile phone accessories like Press Shield use unique materials to block the radiation emitted by cellular frequencies. John F. Cruz designed Press Shield to act as an insulating shield between your body and potentially harmful microwave radiation. Press Shield has the added bonus of a privacy guard and prevents pocket dial.
3. Avoid putting phone in pockets or close to your bed. The farther away your phone is, the better. Belt clips may not be super stylish, but they're a good way to put another barrier between you and your phone. If you must put it in your pocket, don't leave it there for long. Similarly, sleeping with your cell phone underneath or near your head exposes you to radiation as long as you remain asleep.

Interactive Tool: What Is Your Child's BMI?Skip to the navigation
What does this tool help you learn?
This tool calculates your child's body mass index (BMI), which provides a way to estimate the effect of weight on health. This tool also gives you your child's percentile on a growth chart. The percentile is the number that ranks your child's BMI among the BMIs of children of the same gender and age. Taking several BMI measurements over time can help you and your doctor assess your child's growth.
This tool can be used for children ages 2 through 19. Be cautious if you use this tool or any height and weight charts to assess your child's growth after he or she reaches puberty. Check with your doctor if you have questions.
What do the results mean?
If your child is on the very low end of the percentile scale (for example, the 5th percentile), you may be concerned that your child is too small. This may be normal for your child. But if you are concerned, talk to your doctor. Your doctor can check your child to make sure that he or she is growing as expected.
Often parents of very small children push their children to eat more because they are concerned about their growth. This can cause problems. The child may eat less. Talk about your child's weight with your doctor. As long as your child is growing normally, you can relax a little about feeding him or her.
If your child is on the upper end of the percentile scale (for example, the 95th percentile), you may be concerned that your child is too big. This may be normal for your child. But if you are concerned, talk to your doctor. Your doctor can check your child to make sure that he or she is growing in a healthy way.
Parents of larger children are sometimes tempted to feed their child less food, to keep them from gaining too much weight. This doesn't work. When food has been restricted, the child may overeat when he or she gets the chance. Again, it is good to discuss your child's weight with a doctor who can help you see if your child's growth is within his or her normal pattern.
Your child's growth over time is the most important thing to think about when you are concerned about what your child's weight should be at any age. Your child's doctor will decide what your child's weight should be, based on what your child's growth pattern has been over time.
If you print a boy or girl growth chart, use the steps that follow. Then keep the chart so that you can track your child's percentile for several years.
- Use this tool to find your child's BMI about once a year or as often as your doctor suggests.
- Find your child's BMI on the side of the chart.
- Find your child's age on the bottom of the chart.
- Find the point where BMI and age meet. Your child's percentile will be in one of the shaded areas. Follow the curved line to the right to estimate the percentile.
- On your child's growth chart, mark your child's percentile.
What's next?
Talk with your doctor about what your child's BMI means. Remember that BMI-for-age is just a guide. Your doctor can give you steps to take to help your child reach and stay at a healthy weight. These may include providing healthy foods and helping your child be active for certain amounts of time.

The Department of Homeland Security has moved its surveillance operations on campus.
On Thursday of last week, DHS boss Janet Napolitano appointed University of Montana President Royce Engstrom to a newly formed council, the Homeland Security Advisory Council.
It is made up of 19 university and college heads from around the country and will "advise the department on a wide range of issues from how the DHS can better recruit from campuses to emergency preparedness," according to The Kaimin, a University of Montana campus newspaper.
The new council will meet quarterly, according to the Federal Register, and appointees will serve for two, three or four years.
"It is an opportunity to have a conversation about how education can be involved in national security," UM Vice President Jim Foley said.
The DHS insisted the new council is not about monitoring students and professors, but is about "making the academic community aware of their surroundings."
Napolitano's DHS has promoted a wide-ranging snitch culture over the last few years. The DHS' "If You See Something, Say Something" program was designed to foster an atmosphere of paranoia and encourage citizens to surveil and snitch on each other. The DHS has "partnered" with Walmart, national hotels, and even the NFL and the NHL to push its Stasi-like operation.
In addition, the DHS has produced a number of soap-opera like PSA videos portraying white Americans as terrorists.
Recent activity by the mega-agency set-up after September 11, 2001, reveals its true agenda. The DHS is more interested in surveilling antiwar and OWS activists than bearded al-Qaeda miscreants.
Rolling Stone recently published a document released by Wikileaks showing that the DHS considers the Occupy movement as a "potential security risk."
In April of 2009, Infowars.com posted a leaked Department of Homeland Security document warning of a rise in "right-wing extremist groups" bent on violence. According to the DHS, these "hate-oriented" groups "are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
The Homeland Security Advisory Council is an effort by the government to move its surveillance operations on campus and counter growing political activism. The latest effort by the DHS has nothing to do with al-Qaeda or terrorism and everything to do with neutralizing political opposition to the establishment.
In the 1960s, the FBI unleashed its COINTELPRO to subvert political activity not only on America's campuses, but across the nation. The CIA's Operation CHAOS and its Domestic Operations Division targeted university activists and other Americans engaged in legal and constitutionally protected political activism.
COINTELPRO, Operation CHAOS and numerous other government efforts did not fade away after they were exposed in the mid-1970s. The Department of Homeland Security has taken up the banner and is now openly promoting a Stasi snitch culture under the manufactured threat of "domestic extremist" terrorism. Its real mission is to neutralize any effective political opposition to the government.

1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup toffee chips
1/8 cup cocoa nibs
1 egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium sized bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and combine thoroughly. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweetened butter and mix until a very thick dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips, coconut, nibs and toffee. Distribute them evenly in the batter. Form cookies by dropping 1 teaspoon of dough on the sheet two inches apart. Flatten slightly then bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Remove (using a flat turner or spatula) to a wire rack to cool.
One tip: The center of these cookies should look slightly soft (almost as if they were raw, but not shiny) when they are ready to be taken out of the oven. The trick is to take them out when their bottoms are just lightly brown-generally at exactly 12 minutes. They will set up as they cool.
Yield: about 1 dozen cookies

'I will never know why I got in the car'
Former police officer receives prison term of 3 to 9 years for wreck that killed friend
Rensselaer Police Chief Rick Fusco doubled over with his face in his hands on Friday as his son apologized in court to the family of his best friend, who was killed in an alcohol-related crash a year ago.
Former Rensselaer police officer Mark Fusco was sentenced to three to nine years in prison as part of a plea agreement. In March 2013, his speeding car slammed into a tree on Third Avenue Extension, killing his passenger, Sean M. Murphy, 22, a Union College student.
Mark Fusco, who often turned to look at Murphy's family, said he contemplated suicide after he learned that his friend was dead.
"I will never know why I got in the car that night," Fusco said. "No words that I can find could describe how sorry I am that I killed my best friend."
Fusco, 23, pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular manslaughter before Rensselaer County Judge Debra Young.
"Mark, you smashed into that tree going more than 95 mph," the victim's mother, Coreen Murphy of Slingerlands, said in court.
"I was destroyed, my heart shattered and, sadly, since that day, I wish every morning when I open my eyes that somehow I could trade places with my son Sean," she said. "What a horrific, violent way for any human being to die, and then to know it was your child, the child you protected for 22 years, is just too much to carry. I wish Mark no harm. I know he will be released from prison while he is still in his 20s, he will have a job, maybe a wife, kids, grandkids, but I do expect justice for the crime that was committed. He killed our son."
Fusco arrived at court shortly after 1 p.m. He was hugged by his father and his mother, Kim Fusco, before joining his attorney, Peter Moschetti, at the defense table.
A priest accompanied the family to court.
Mark Fusco cried and his parents hugged and wiped away tears as he was handcuffed and taken into custody to serve his sentence.
"Sean became a victim when Mark put his foot on that gas pedal," said the victim's father, Stephen Murphy, outside court. "Mark's words sounded heartfelt and I feel awful for him and his family."
When asked if he had forgiven Fusco, Murphy, after a long pause, did not answer.
Rick Fusco made a brief statement on his way out of the courtroom.
"Since this happened our thoughts and prayers have been with the Murphy family," he said.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Shanley said the nature of the crash was made more disturbing by the fact that Fusco was a police officer.
Fusco, who joined the department in August 2012, registered a 0.20 percent blood alcohol content, according to police. The legal limit for driving while intoxicated is 0.08 percent. He left the force shortly after his arrest.
Fusco was originally charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, manslaughter, aggravated driving while intoxicated and aggravated vehicular homicide.

Will and Probate Records from LVA, the State Archives
Message Board Post:
You can Interlibrary Loan (ILL) microfilm from LVA (the Library of VA, the state archives). They lend out of state, for free, although your local library may charge for postage. For the list of Orange Co film available, see:
Be sure to list both the county name and the reel number as LVA reuses numbers from county to county. Look to the top of the page, to "for Libraries and Educators", click on this and the ILL link on the menu. Print this info out to take to your local public library so they know LVA's "rules" for ILL. If they've not borrowed from LVA before, this will make things easier for them and therefore for you. I think they lend up to 5 reels at one time. The time period is 3 or 4 weeks. You will have to use the film at your public library although you can print out pages as you wish. A digital camera will take good pictures of microfilm projections or screens. Be sure to look at court records as well as probate records.
Your post indicates an administrator's bond was posted 26 Mar 1743. I'd look at the previous month's court minute records as well as the Mar ones. There should be a record of the appointment of an administrator of the estate. I guess you realize that administrators are appointed when there is no will, executors when there is a will. Generally, administrators are appointed at the first court session after the death. If there is a delay, this will usually be mentioned in the court record of the appointment. Your post also mentions "Accounts rec". This will be a separate court book called Accounts Receivable. I have found inventories in such books. Some of this stuff varies from county to county and I've not looked at probate records in Orange Co. (My folks seem to have passed through that county!) Sometimes, an estate isn't settled until the widow dies or the youngest child reaches 21 or marries. So, do look well beyond the dates you have. Anyway, this should get !
you started finding those records. LVA is sometimes slow, be patient. -------Jo

You can post it if you add a few things:ReplyDelete
1) Everyone should spend quality time with cyndislist.com. Cyndi has over 280,000 links for genealogists. There are sections for beginners, how to and how to tutorials which are very helpful. Some links are broken but there is a link at the bottom of every page to notify Cyndi of this. It is the internet, URLs change often. Cyndi has worked full time on this list for 15 years. We need to show appreciation for her hard work by using the info she provides us. There are sections of links for every state and every county within a state as well as most countries.
2) Everyone who hasn't done so needs to go to their public library and check out some genealogy books. There are excellent how to books out there. It would be helpful to buy one so you have it on hand for reference.
3) Ancestry.com is great but they don't begin to have every possible document. Neither does FamilySearch.org. Nor any other online site. We need to use all online sites but also be aware that many documents have not been digitized. Many probably never will be. The National archives (NARA), the various state archives, and a growing number of county sources have all sorts of databases and indexes online and even more documents on microfilm and even more on their shelves. You can find links to all of these sites at cyndislist.com.
4) If you can't go to a place (the best possible idea) and the state archives doesn't do ILL, the FHL in Salt Lake rents microfilm through local LDS church family history centers. You do not have to be Mormon to rent the film or visit the centers. A list of centers is at FamilySearch.org as is a catalog of the library holdings. The last ones I rented were $7.50 each which can add up pretty fast but is almost always cheaper than going wherever the records or film are available although not nearly as much fun.
5) Genealogy is a specialized sort of research and Ancestry is doing no favors for anybody by saying you don't have to know what you are looking for. Of course you do. You also need to know what you have when you find something. Others have done this research so there are lots of ways to learn how to do it yourself. In school, the teachers tell us what we need to learn. As adults who want to learn something, we have to find out own resources and teachers. It is up to us. This is true not only of genealogy but of anything else we want to learn. We can learn it, we just have to work at it. Cyndislist.com is a great place to start for online learning but don't forget local genealogical and historical societies which may have lectures and classes. Some libraries also have these. There are fairs and conferences on the local, state and national level. When I started 20 years ago, I bought a book. Now there are classes online and off, tutorials, webinars, conferences, blogs, videos, podcasts, TV programs, and many other options for learning.
This was to be added per Jo's request. She sent this to the list. both articles.ReplyDelete

Magalia, California
Students identify key mathematical vocabulary heard in read-alouds of math-oriented stories. The teacher then models math story writing by soliciting characters, setting, and plot from students, then drawing a series of images depicting students' story and paying special attention to the objects that increase or decrease. Students retell the story as the teacher writes their words under the pictures. When the story is complete, the teacher highlights the math vocabulary used in the story and helps students to write an equation to represent what happened. Students then work in small groups to create their own math stories using the process the teacher modeled. Each group draws a series of pictures that depict adding more or taking away objects; they then write a correlating story to go with the pictures they've drawn. Finally, students share their stories aloud and write equations to symbolize the adding and subtracting written into the stories.
Math Read-aloud Books: Use the books from this list to familiarize students with the genre and build their math vocabulary.
NCTE and IRA call for children to use reading, writing, speaking, and listening for a variety of purposes. These skills are not limited to the Language Arts block, but are essential tools for all areas of the curriculum. Similarly, communication as a mathematics tool is considered an essential standard by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Phyllis and David Whitin write: "Writing and talking are ways that learners can make their mathematical thinking visible. Both writing and talking are tools for collaboration, discovery, and reflection." (2). Effective mathematics problem solving often depends on understanding of key mathematical terms. This is especially true in solving story problems, which can be difficult even for students who are very proficient with mathematical procedures. Linking art, stories, and math concepts can help students construct meaning and improve mathematics problem solving.

Colin Kaepernick has revealed the extent of last season's foot injury: a chipped bone on his forefoot and a ruptured capsule in the ball of his foot.
Kaepernick told the Sacramento Bee he sustained the injury in a Week 2 loss at Seattle when a defender landed on his foot. The 49ers' injury reports vaguely described Kaepernick's ailment as merely a "foot" injury through October, while Kaepernick coyly passed it off as a "hangnail" issue.
Fast forward to present-day Kaepernick: he looks in tiptop shape and shows no signs of any lingering foot problem.
He hasn't had any carries through three exhibition series, but he did roll out of trouble and evade a sack at least once in Sunday's 34-0 exhibition loss to the Denver Broncos.
Kaepernick hasn't missed a start since seizing that role from Alex Smith midway through the 2012 season. Two months ago, he signed a six-year contract extension worth up to $126 million.

DougTTBS necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Top To Bottom Services LLC provides a variety of products and services to the real estate sales industry. One of the primary services we provide is the inventory management, installation, and service of real estate signage.
Over the years, our company (and similar providers in our industry) have used a 'low tech' manual approach to ordering and managing installations-- typically spreadsheets to record orders, installations, and inventory locations. This has always been problematic.
Orders for signage work (for example, the installation of a "For Sale" sign) traditionally have been submitted via fax, phone, or by email. This is a very 1980's way of doing things.
To address these problems, our company developed a web application that allows real estate professionals (our customers) to order signage online, review their inventory, track installations, etc.
We have begun marketing this application to agents (the consumers) and sign installation companies (the providers) and have several contracts pending, and now need an intuitive logo for this product-- SignTraker. The logo design selected will be used as the basis of a web site design project (to follow) for marketing the application to real estate professionals across the country.
Our audience is the real estate professional-- a real estate agent, broker, or agency owner. This population is:
- Mature (30+ yrs old),
- Self-employed, and
- Pays for our services out of their own pocket.
They generally are pretty straight forward in looking at things... in other words, they like to keep things simple. This population values:
- Speed
- Cost (low as possible... who doesn't)
- Reliability
- Consistency
We are looking for a logo that attracts the person to our premise-- on line ordering for fast, reliable service. A product brief on SignTraker is attached, if that helps you get an idea of our value proposition.
The current (beta) banner can be found at the demo site, http://www.signtracker.NET/demo/login.aspx. Beta customers generally like the color scheme, and the 'busy guys' running around... kind of gets to the idea of action, rapidity, and thoroughness (see attached). If that helps, you can work from that, but there are no constraints.
Because we are talking about signs, a logo incorporating the wooden sign post would be a great place to start. Photos of actual signs are included in the information provided.
We require that the logo be delivered as layered PSD and Illustrator AI files, as well as conventional JPG and GIF formats.
IMPORTANT: There is a company that provides a site for the *manufacturing* of custom signs, located at http://www.sign-tracker.com. Can't infringe on them, obviously.

Is That a Veto in Your Pocket?
Yesterday the Bush-Cheney administration produced a mini-constitutional crisis when the White House released a memo stating that the President had rejected a large military spending bill because of one provision, and claiming that he had done so as a "pocket veto." The obvious question of why the administration had never before objected to that provision, all the while complaining that the bill had to pass quickly, is beyond historical understanding. But the origins and parameters of the pocket veto lie in the eighteenth century.
It was understood that colonial governors, acting as the king's and Parliament's representatives, could approve or deny new legislation. Indeed, the first two grievances in the Declaration of Independence refer to what the Continental Congress said was abuse of that executive-branch prerogative:
He [George III] has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.The U.S. Constitution of 1787 created a new national executive, but it also limited that President's power to negate new laws. Article 1, Section 7 says:
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.The last sentence has given rise to the so-called pocket veto: a President takes no action on a bill when Congress has adjourned, and it dies. A pocket veto is thought to have two advantages over an ordinary veto:
Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it.
If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively.
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
- The Constitution doesn't state any way that Congress can override one.
- Taking no action on a bill may seem more mild than using an ordinary veto to, say, block funds for soldiers in a time of war after insisting that Congress pass just such a bill.
Indeed, it's clear that the Constitution's framers didn't want to grant Presidents as much power over legislation as those of the past several decades have exercised. The term "veto" never even appears in the Constitution, nor its eighteenth-century synonym "negative" (as in Boston merchant John Rowe's diary entry for 1 June 1769: "The Governour Negatived eleven counsellors..."). George Washington, who presided over the Constitutional Convention, wrote that a Presidential veto "can only be Justified upon the clean and obvious ground of propriety," not simply because he didn't like the bill.
As for whether Congress can override a pocket veto, the Constitution doesn't state that it can't. In fact, I think the Convention probably felt that Congress could approve the same bill again by majority vote as soon as it resumed business. Section 7 requires a two-thirds vote to override a veto only when the President has formally returned the bill to Congress for reconsideration, not when he's pocketed it.
But the parameters of the pocket veto have never been fully tested before the Supreme Court. Some Presidents have interpreted Section 7's language to refer only to the adjournment at the end of a full two-year congressional session, not just a holiday break. With the action on such vague constitutional grounds to begin with, Presidents have been reluctant to push on such disputes with Congress.
In this particular disagreement, there are two additional wrinkles. Kagro X notes that the military spending bill went to the White House on 19 December, and the reply memo is dated 28 December—so obviously "ten Days (Sundays excepted)" had not yet passed and the pocket-veto clause did not yet apply. Furthermore, while the House had adjourned temporarily, the Senate has remained in session to ensure that the administration doesn't make any more harmful "recess appointments" (under Article 2, Section 2: "The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session"). If one house of Congress is in session, how can Congress have adjourned at all?
If the Bush-Cheney administration really cared about clear constitutional actions, it should simply have vetoed this bill and endured the resulting public criticism.

General Hospital: Heather! Heather! Heather! That's practically all the GH audience is seeing this summer. Last month I praised multi-soap veteran actress Robin Mattson to the sky, placing her very much toward the top of the Soap Villains Hall of Fame (which I made up.)
Now it's time to praise another GH actress, Lisa LoCicero, who plays Olivia Falconeri.
But let's first go back to LoCicero's daytime debut in 1995, when Marlena was a newspaper columnist. I liked to interview only the best of young actors, and get them early on in their soap tenure. So shortly after LoCicero joined Loving as Jocelyn Roberts Brown (she later graduated to The City in the same role.) I requested an interview with her because I thought she was so [Read more…]

How far do scopes go, 4-16x 3-9x ? please help
I am looking at buying either this
$115 scope 4-16x
$80 scope 3-9x
I like it for 200 yards on a 22lr but no idea what the ranges would be on a 4-16x over a 3-9x?

I'm not sure we're all on the same sheet of music as far as "How far do scopes go". The 16 power scope by all rights should increase the magnification 7 times more than the 9 power scope. That does not mean the target or object of peepage is 7 times larger, just 7 times more magnifyed. Neither one will make the rifle shoot farther, it will simply let you see the target in larger magnification. Unless you get frequent days with zero wind- I'm not too sure how that 200yd plan will work with a .22lr, but you may have a knack for it.
Bushnell Banners are their budget line. I'm guessing the crosshairs will be kinda broad unless your target is quite large. And with the scopes you mention- you'll have no idea if you're even on paper unless you have a pretty decent spotting scope or you walk to the target line pretty frequently. They have been around for quite a few years, and have held up well for even the guys shooting larger centerfires. If you are on a budget- they are functional.
Edit: If that is pretty much the top of your budget- I would like to humbly suggest you take a peek at the Mueller line of scopes.

I own the Bushnell 3-9x40 with the 6inch eye relief. Its an excellent scope and the glass is very clear at all magnifications. The 6-inch eye relief is amazing and provides plenty of room. The other model you posted only has a 3.3inch eye relief which is ok, but too short in my experience.
The 3-9 would be perfect for 100-150yards, but at 200yards it might be a bit of a stretch especially for a 22lr. I have mine mounted on a 5.56 AR15 which makes about the same size holes and I can see it well at the 9x magnification. For 200yards the 4-16 scope would serve you better, if you can hit it with your rifle at that distance.

I mounted a CenterPoint 4-16x40mm Scope with adjustable objective on my Mossberg 702 and can knock them at 100 yard fairly good. I purchased it at the local Walmart for $69.00. I am going to get another to mount on the Hi Point 4595TS.

As far as magnification levels go, it really just depends on what your intended use of the gun is.
I have 3-9x40 scopes on 3 rifles (.22, .22mag, and .243). I have been very happy with this set up on the .22, but I rarely try and shoot it past 100 yards. It is mostly for plinking and small game, and gets used mostly around 50 yards. 9X magnification lets me see anything I need to quite well at that range and is still pretty clear even out to 100.
The .22 mag is a heavy single shot rifle I built and really only has been used for target shooting so far and I am wishing I would have put a higher power scope on it. It is a Redfield scope and has the accu-range reticle with a circle around the cross hairs. I find that past 100 yards the circle and cross hairs pretty well cover the target (I normally shoot 8" shoot N see targets) and make it difficult to get a really consistent sight picture. I can easily hit the target and would do just fine on ground hogs etc. with this scope but if you're trying for small groups on paper it gets frustrating.
I have the same issue on my .243 as the .22 mag. If I were just trying to hit the middle of a ground hog at 150 yards it would be fine. Or if I was using it for deer or coyote, it would be great for much farther distances. You have a bigger target in the scope to reference your point of aim, but if you're trying to shoot paper targets at longer distances they pretty much disappear in the middle of the cross hairs.
Fix it right the first time...

I may have my definitions of magnification wrong, but a 4x scope will bring a target in to 1/4 of it's actual range, 9x to 1/9th, 15x to 1/15th, etc. I think either one of the scopes will work at 200 yards. Banner scopes are the inexpensive brand for the maker, they're fine for the .22 at any range. Keep 'em dry and don't bring 'em cold into a warm room, let 'em acclimate internally for a bit.
At those prices, try one, then get the other one, try it, get another rifle for fun.
