The Lone Star Shooting Association was founded by a group of American and European shooters with three aims in mind:
1. Build a set of easy 3 gun match rules (including airsoft replicas), with the objective of creating safe, easy scoring and fast resetting of stages (impossible with other 3 gun rules). 2. Build a tool for public and political awareness. Used to spread legal, responsible possession of firearms and the right to use firearms in a practical manner suitable for self defense, especially in those countries where such shooting sport matches are not permitted.
3. LSSA will fund projects for the preservation gun rights around the world.

"Buyback yields nearly 1,700 weapons" according to an article published in the 15th May 2012 USA Today newspaper. The weekend gun buyback program included a "rocket launcher" according to Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck. The haul included 791 handguns and 527 rifles.
These buyback programs are usually no-questions-asked. You give them the gun and they hand you the money. Okay, fine. But I have a few questions that need to be asked:
I'm considering having a buyback program of my own. I'll give you $5 no questions asked. Or double that if it is functional and legal.

Lady Pilots place 6 on All-GCAC Teams
November 02, 2005
Mobile, AL---The Gulf Coast Athletic Conference announced the 2005 All-Conference teams Tuesday afternoon. The LSUS Lady Pilots landed three freshmen on the GCAC First Team All-Conference list, and added three others on the Second Team All-Conference list.
Michelle Williamson, a 5'6 freshman midfielder from Montgomery, TX finished the season with 28 points which included 10 goals and six assists. As the team captain and "quarterback" of the Lady Pilot offense, Williamson was named to the Second Team All-Conference list.
Calandre Singh, a 5'6 freshman forward from Harker Heights, TX was named to the Second Team All-Conference list after collecting 26 points on nine goals and eight assists. This fleet footed forward collected the game winning goal and two assists versus Belhaven College which solidified a spot in the GCAC Tournament.
Kristen Schaeffer, a 5'4 freshman defender from Woodlands, TX was a defensive specialist who consistently cleared opponents scoring chances by using her speed and knowledge of the game was named to the Second Team All-Conference list.
Katrina Blackwell, a 5'4 freshman forward from Harker Heights, TX was named First Team All-Conference. Blackwell led the Lady Pilots in scoring with 28 points which included a team high 12 goals and four assists. On September 9th Blackwell recorded the first and only hat trick in LSUS history in a 6-0 victory over Louisiana College.
Brenna Bussart, a 5'8 sophomore from Caddo Magnet High School in Shreveport, LA was also named First Team All-Conference. Bussart solidified the Lady Pilot midfield position and added seven goals which included the first goal in LSUS history in the season opener versus William Carey College, and 2-goal performances versus NCAA Division I opponent Texas Southern University and the University of the Ozarks.
Shaderia Evans, a 5'10 freshman defender from Midland, TX was the anchor to the Lady Pilot defense. Evans provided a booming left footed kick and the presence of a strong and very talented athlete on defense. Evans led the team with 10 assists and also added six goals for a total of 22 points on the season. Evans was selected as a First Team All-Conference player and was also labeled the GCAC Defensive Player of the Year.

In 2010, 175 million people watched at least one NFL game that season. With numbers that staggering, it's inevitable that the NFL would attract a few jerks and morons. What is normally a mild annoyance at any game can turn unbearable if you just dropped two grand for tickets to see the Giants and Patriots face off at the Super Bowl. Now, we wouldn't want that. So, here they are: the seven worst kinds of football fans you will see on game day. Identify these fools and get your mental o-line ready to block them out.
The drunk guy. Sure, who doesn't like to crack a few brews at the game? But this guy goes entirely too far. He's sucking down beer like water by halftime. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if he could contain his drunken state. But no, with every beer this jerk gets louder, more belligerent. After a while he becomes a downright nuisance. By the end of the game he's either passed out, punched out, or thrown out.
The fat topless guy. He's the football train wreck you just can't take your eyes off of. He looks more like a stuck pig than a man. You'll watch in amazement as his back fat begins to undulate like waves in the ocean. He's destined to jump up out of his seat blocking your view of crucial moments of the game with his hairy man boobs and keg like belly. All he had to do was keep his damn shirt on.

Retreats and Intensives
Imagine the lush, warm air of a tropical paradise, caressing your thighs.
A candlelit bedroom beckons. You're fueled by the stars, and the wine.
The sound of the ocean, swaying to the pulse of the moon.
It's midnight, but you don't need much more than a swimsuit. At most.
No one knows where you are.
Your phone is long forgotten.
There is nothing for you to do—no duties, obligations, or demands.
Nothing, that is, except be. Alive. Attentive. Absolutely turned on.
I created The VIP Pleasure Intensives for two reasons:
1. I want you to take a much-needed break from your everyday rhythm. To get carnal. To unravel. To temporarily silence your incessant mental chatter—and open yourself up to everything that matters.
2. I want you + your partner to have unspeakably hot sex. At a five-star resort. Or perhaps on the beach, right outside. And I want you to carry that transcendent sexual energy into your day-to-day life, when it can soften, strengthen + transform your identity.
Here's how it works:
: We choose a bodacious location for your Pleasure Intensive. I've traveled to nearly every continent, and lived in five countries, so I can help point you to a perfect locale.
: We decide on a date range, between 3 to 6 days. Shorter intensives are a juicy kick-start, but extended sex dates are truly magnificent.
: We clarify your intentions. Are you ready to make ecstatic sex a part of your everyday life? Want to master the art of pleasing your partner? Curious about Tantric meditation, sensual massage, or playing with power roles? Want to design a life plan, to make sure sex never takes a backrow seat to your career or family responsibilities? All of the above? Sounds excellent.
: We meet. We greet. We spend a few hours together each day, developing your erotic artillery of skills, techniques and ideas. And while you're off playing together—and enjoying the ocean, sauna, haute cuisine + local splendors—I arrange intriguing surprises to add even more foreplay perpetua to your off-grid adventure.
: You go home—and tackle each other before you even get into the bedroom.
You'll see. Trust me.
VIP Pleasure Intensives are suited for both singles + couples. Because hot sex + heady life revelations can happen in ones, or twos…or, ahem, threes.
Contact me at kim {@} kimanami.com to apply—and start fantasizing, in advance.
I'll also send you a PDF with more details.
Want it slower? Deeper? Longer?
Explore: The Year of Living Sexually
A full year of life + intimacy coaching, in-person VIP Pleasure Intensives, bodacious breakthroughs + transcendent ***ing.
It's very expensive. It's very intense. And it will change your world, in ravishing ways.

Pebble Beach Tourist Trap Tips by atufft Top 5 Page for this destination
Pebble Beach Tourist Traps: 7 reviews and 15 photos
Romantic Shot of Lone Cyprus
Along the 17 mile drive there are numerous turn outs, the parking for many of which are quite busy, but I would reckon that the busiest is the Lone Cyprus. Until a few years ago, it was possible to walk out to the tree itself, but erosion and defacement of the tree resulted in a fencing off of the rocky area where the tree stands. Nevertheless, several spots along the fencing provide excellent portraits of tree and tourist, and so on a busy day tourists will elbow each other as they search for the uncluttered look of solitude along the coast in their camera viewfinder. Incidentally, what make the crooked cyprus trees so valuable in terms of scenic beauty can be summed in a combination of age, soil and weather conditions. Like the redwood, the cyprus tree has no life span and can live more or less indefinitely, so many of the trees seen here are quite old and distinctive in shape. The rocky soil and strong coastal winds contribute to a landscape of trees which must fight to survive.
Unique Suggestions: Be considerate of others and be efficient in your photography. Generally the manners of tourists are quite good, but those who linger at the famous spot will attract the anger of others. It's a famous tree that is no longer lonely, except maybe at night.
Fun Alternatives: Well, there's no substitute for this tree and your friend in a photo, anymore than the Eiffel tower or Golden Gate Bridge images can be avoided, but there are numerous other places to go along the 17 mile drive that are less crowded.

In 1890, the War Department began compiling histories of the Union volunteer military organizations serving during the Civil War. These compiled records for each organization were called "Record of Events" and contained abstracts of the information found on muster-in and muster-out rolls for the units. Starting in 1903, the War Department began to compile abstract histories of the movements and activities of the Confederate units. The principal sources of data for Confederate organizations were the original muster rolls and returns, as well as the rosters, payrolls, hospital registers, casualty lists, prison registers, parole rolls, and inspection reports.
Unit Records provide information regarding the stations, movements, activities, organization, composition, strength and losses, and disbandment of the units. Additionally, there are frequent glimpses into the day-today life of the soldiers. Location stations, muster-in dates and personnel, distances between location assignments, orders received, enemy engagements, losses sustained, unit nicknames, and terms of service are just some of the many details provided in the unit histories.
Usually the Union records are more complete than the Confederate records, but many of the Confederate units also include rosters of officers.

Your Soldier's UNIT: We will need to know the unit in which your soldier served. These are usually numbered regiments or battalions (such as 26th N.C. Infantry or 1st Indiana Cavalry) but may also be a named unit, such as the Washington Artillery. Please note the "type" of unit: Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Sharpshooters, Engineers, etc. If you do not know the unit in which your soldier served, we suggest purchasing our SOLDIER SEARCH NAME LIST ($10.00 for the 1st page) which lists unit affiliations of the soldiers.

Illustrated Nail 'Boxed-In' French Manicure
19 March 2013, 15.28 | Posted in nail art | 2 comments »
Spring is taking it's sweet time to make itself felt in New York. I'm finding nail art to be a fun way to channel warmer weather by wearing lighter colors when a coat and boots is still de rigueur. The Illustratednail takes the classic French manicure design and reduces it to a black outline on a white nail. The result is sleek yet edgy.

Angelini Osteria.The great Italian chef Gino Angelini has fulfilled a lifetime dream to open his own casual osteria that serves simple, hearty, home-style food — from a home rife with genius cooking genes. The classy, clattery urban café is lively, fun — and very kid-friendly. (The three-course child's menu is a fine way to introduce the squirts to the pleasures and pace of fine dining.) Angelini may have downshifted his culinary ambitions, but his abilities are entrenched, and there's unmistakable haute in the homiest braised oxtails or codfish stew. 7313 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, (323) 297-0070. Beer and wine. Valet parking. Lunch Tues.–Sat. noon–2:30 p.m.; dinner Tues.–Sun. 5–11:30 p.m. AE, MC, V. Entrées $16–$30. Italian. MH $$¦ ä
Campanile. The basic premise of Urban Rustic cuisine is the perfection of Mediterranean peasant dishes, often in ways that may be incomprehensible to the Mediterranean peasants in question. Campanile's Mark Peel reinterprets this sunny cuisine by using really good ingredients, assembling them with chefly skill, and illuminating the spirit of each dish as if from within. A niçoise salad, a fish soup, a grilled steak under Peel's direction is like a Velázquez painting of a horse as opposed to the horse itself. 624 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 938-1447. Lunch Mon.–Fri., dinner Mon.–Sat. Full bar. Valet parking. AE, CB, DC, MC, V. Entrées $25–$38. California Italian. JG $$$¦ Ü‹ ¤
Cobras & Matadors. Despite its name, this is, finally, a good tapas restaurant — and who knew how convivial a series of shared small plates with walloping flavors could be? Crimson walls, a hearthlike wood-fired oven and swinging jambons create a hip, Barcelona-style coziness. C&M is strictly BYOB, but the adjacent liquor store has a smart, hand-picked selection of South American and Spanish wines, and corkage is $5. 7615 W. Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, (323) 932-6178. Dinner Sun.–Thurs. 6–11 p.m., Fri.–Sat. 6 p.m.–mid. BYOB. Valet parking. MC, V. Tapas $3–$15. Spanish.MH $ ¨

The House. A hard-used, still-handsome Craftsman home has been transformed into an industry canteen-cum-fine-dining room. Chef Scooter Kanfer, the local food world's equivalent of a high-end script polisher — she spent the last decade perfecting dishes in many other chefs' just-opened kitchens — here serves her own seasonal remakes of Americana, including spoon bread, macaroni and cheese, the lettuce-wedge salad, steak, pan-fried chicken and even cocoa. Check out the $30 Sunday-night prix-fixe dinner. 5750 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 462-4687. Lunch Tues.–Fri. noon–2 p.m.; dinner Tues.–Sat. 6–10:30 p.m., Sun. 5–9 p.m. Beer and wine. Valet parking. AE, MC, V. Entrées $16–$30. California American. MH $ ‹
Jar. Chef Suzanne Tracht's interpretation of the contemporary American steakhouse means many sides and sauces and the occasional Asian twist (braised pork belly with Savoy cabbage, duck fried rice, sautéed pea tendrils, tamarind sauce). But meat, braised or dry-aged and grilled, is the real focus: flavorful and tender New York steak with the bone in, magnificent pot roast. The decor is tasteful, the art wry, the service totally professional and the noise level off the charts. 8225 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, (323) 655-6566. Lunch Mon.–Fri. 11:30–2:30 p.m.; dinner Sun.–Mon. 5:30–10 p.m., Tues.–Thurs. to 10:30 p.m., Fri.–Sat. to 11 p.m. Full bar. Valet parking. AE, D, MC, V. Entrées $19–$29. California American.MH $$
Lucques. Named for a nutty brine-cured French green olive, and rarely pronounced correctly, Lucques (leuk) has quietly and surely joined the small pantheon of great Los Angeles restaurants. Lucques has a quasi-historic setting (it was once Harold Lloyd's brick, wood-beamed carriage house), a patio, adept service and, best of all, Suzanne Goin's earthy, intelligent, somewhat indefinable cooking. Call it Cal-French-Med with welcome guests from North Africa, Spain and Berkeley, California. The crowd looks smart and arty — Oliver Peoples glasses and more Dries Van Nooten than Armani. Go for Goin's fish dishes, in particular, and check out the appealing bar menu. Also, Sunday nights feature three-course prix-fixe dinners. 8474 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood, (323) 655-6277. Lunch Tues.–Sat. noon–2:30 p.m.; dinner Tues.–Sat. 6–11 p.m., Sun. 5:30–10. Limited bar menu available 10 p.m.–mid. Full bar. Valet parking. AE, MC, V. Entrées $21–$30. California/Mediterranean.

At dinner, the combination meze includes essentially everything on the left-hand side of the menu: hummus; the thickened-yogurt cheese labneh; veal and bulgur-wheat kibbeh; the toasted-bread salad fattoush; and the grilled makanek sausages.

Quintana Roo Travel Tips
Quintana Roo has Perfect Beaches and Much More
The Mexican state of Quintana Roo is on the eastern part of Yucatán Peninsula. It is home to some of the best vacation areas in the country. Some visitors come seeking activity all day and dancing all night; others come for the tranquility of large beaches and warm seas. While the capital city of Quintana Roo is Chetumal, the state also includes Cancún, the islands of Cozumel, Isla Mujheres, and towns such as Bacalar, Felipe Carrillo Puerto and Playa del Carmen. Other places to visit are Puerto Juárez, Akumal, and Puerto Morelos. Remnants of the ancient Mayan civilization abound here, such as at Chaccbhoben, Coba, Kohunlich, Muyil, Tulum, Xel-Há, and Xcaret. And that is just a few! This is a large area, great for mixing relaxing on the beach with some water sports thrown in and day trips in an array of beautiful towns and ancient ruins.
Being geared to tourism, Quintana Roo is easy to explore and most people coming here take advantage of the many options to get around the area. Most choose to arrive via Cancún International Airport and many take a rental car option for maximum freedom to explore. Many choose Quintana Roo Mexico vacation rentals for the same reasons.
Beaches, Water Sports and Theme Parks Galore
Cancún, known as the Mexican Caribbean, sits on the Yucatán Channel and is a world-famous tourist location. Visitors here will enjoy some of the best beaches in the world with an exceptional amount of water sports, such as diving, swimming with dolphins and deep sea fishing. A short ferry ride takes visitors to the beautiful Isla Mujeres and one of the many attractions here is the incredible seafood! The island is a favorite for those who enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving on the many coral reefs. Another major attraction here is the facility for the rescue and breeding of sea turtles. Cancún has great shopping and a variety of theme parks, such as Xplor, Xcaret Eco Park and Xel-Ha.
For those who find the lure of exploration, the Riviera Maya will be a great experience. People come here for the archaeological sites, such as Coba and Tulum.
The town of Bacalar sits on a lagoon of the same name. This beautiful town dates from the 16th century and has a fascinating history of piracy. The 17th-century Fortress de San Felipe Bacalar is now a wonderful tourist attraction.
Those seeking quieter Quintana Roo Mexico resorts have many options to choose from. Puerto Morelos, with its mangrove swamp, or Akumal, meaning "place of the turtles" would make great options. There are many smaller resorts that are less crowded but with equally wonderful beaches and shopping. They are also within close proximity to larger towns for more lively activities.
Archaeological Sites to See
No visit to Quintana Roo Mexico condos is complete without exploring some of the incredible ancient sites in this region. Visitors will enjoy heading into the jungle to visit these sites. Bonampak is famous for its graphic murals of human sacrifice! Kohunlich, Dzibanche and Oxtankah are famous for the lush jungle, exotic birds and wildlife. Bring your bathing suit to Tulum, the "Walled City" where the beach is next to the site. Visitors can view the Fresco remnants before heading for a swim. Accessible by river via long boats is Yaxchilan. Deep in the Chiapas jungle, this site includes several Mayan ruins and is well worth a visit.
Make Your Vacation Perfect with the Perfect Accommodation
Visitors to Quintana Roo Mexico vacation rentals will find a huge variety of accommodation options available. Whether it is a spacious home in the heart of the city or a condo close to a quiet beach, you will find the perfect option. Rather than being bound to a room, these homes offer the space to relax and enjoy a welcoming environment. Homes are equipped with everything required to make a perfect vacation even better.

In 1982 the Christian Action Commission sent a major report to General Synod on "Care for the Earth: Theology and Practice" (MGS 1982, pp. 63-70). In response, General Synod passed several resolutions urging "the vigilant protection of the earth's resources." The Christian Action Commission report examined Old Testament teachings about the relationship of the people to the land. "God's gift of land to the people of Israel was conditional. It depended upon their living in a way that acknowledged the land to be the Lord's land and themselves to be the Lord's people. Because they chose instead to grasp and possess the land as if it were their own, they lost it....We, too, are called to treat the land as God's gift rather than as our possession." The report concluded that "humanity was created by God to live in 'shalom' (the Hebrew word for harmony/peace/wholeness/justice) with each other and all creation. While this relationship was broken by the Fall, it is being restored in Christ, who reigns over and is reconciling all creation....The restoration of God's shalom...requires changes in our attitudes, in our values, and in our lives."
The report drew attention to the loss of farmland, the degradation of soil and air quality, the problem of nuclear waste disposal and the need for the conservation of water and other precious resources. The resolutions passed by General Synod in 1982 included the following:
In 1994 the Office of Social Witness reported to General Synod on continuing environmental problems like the extinction of hundreds of animal species, deforestation, and the greenhouse effect, and urged that "responsible Christian witness in the light of the environmental crisis is becoming increasingly important." General Synod passed a resolution to "encourage RCA pastors, consistories, and Christian educators to place renewed emphasis on the stewardship of creation in the preaching, teaching and witness ministries of RCA congregations, and further, to encourage RCA congregations to utilize available RCA resources from Reformed Church World Service, the RCA hunger education program, the Office of Social Witness, and the Institute for Development Training" (MGS 1994, pp. 95-96).
(There were major reports to General Synod in 1982 and 1994; the subject was also mentioned in 1995.)

As digital cameras come of age, digital imaging is quickly replacing film for the vast majority of underwater photography. This is because the advantages of digital imaging more than outweigh those of film.
Digital advantages:
- Almost unlimited pictures no running out of film
- View and confirm results underwater
- No cost for film or processing cheaper in the long run
- Easy to control and adjust images in computer
- Simple to duplicate and send images
Film advantages
- Lower initial cost (especially with many used systems on the market)
- No need to bring a computer on your dive trips

I read a lot of discussion about whether Ka or Ku band is the better satellite internet technology. The two major satellite internet companies in the United States are Hughesnet and WildBlue. Hughesnet is based on Ku-band satellite technology and WildBlue is based on Ka-band satellite technology. There are several advantages and disadvantages to the service provider of using either of these technologies. However, in this article we will focus on these technologies' performance in relation to the users. I have put together some advantages and disadvantages of both types of technologies that will hopefully help you decide which might be the best for you.

Economists at the National Association of Realtors cite a 1.7 percent drop in August home prices. "We've been anticipating a price correction and now it's here,'' said David Lereah, the NAR's chief economist. "The price drop has stopped the bleeding for housing sales. We think the housing market has now hit bottom.'' Not so fast, says Bob Hynes, senior market analyst at IFR Markets. "This is not the first time we have heard an industry group claim that the market has bottomed. It is also the umpteenth time we have heard that shares are attractively priced." While L.A.-based KB is trading above its 52-week high, Hynes is warning investors of a "dead cat bounce" (Wall Street talk for a short-term recovery that masks a long-term decline). For what it's worth, August home prices in L.A. County were up, not down, which makes you wonder about the extent of the price correction.
*More mixed signals: This time from the California Association of Realtors, which reports August home sales plunged 30.1 percent from a year earlier. That's the steepest drop in 25 years, but remember, year-over-year comparisons are tricky since last year's sales were so strong.

This was the first tour at the start of our trip. It was very nice and our tour guide explained everything very well and was very accommodating with our picture taking. Prague Castle was the highlight of our tour and we were very pleased with everything we saw.

very poor.we were very disappointed with our trips.the hop on hop off didnt even even take us near any of the attractions and the commentry wos very poor after walking 2 or 3 miles to get to bus in the first place.i purchased them all together and we wouldnt of even had to pay for castle or jewish quarters as they were free to enter.the cruise wos a small sail with no commentry at all,all in all it wos very dissapointing,bearing in mind we always book our trips with urselves before we travel and we have never been as dissapointed as we were for this one

Our guide Denis was great, he was very knowledgeable about the history and area of Prague. It was our second Segway tour and my 70+ year old parents were like pro's on them. It also was easier than walking up to see the castle.
Doing what: Prague City Segway Tour
This was the perfect introduction to Prague! We were given really good commentary from our guide throughout the entire tour. Once we got into the coach we drove around seeing some of the main sites for half of the tour and then made our way to the Prague Castle area. My favorite part was getting there just in time to watch the Changing of the Guard at the castle! I would recommend everyone takes this tour on their first day in Prague to get a good overview of what the city has to offer.
Doing what: Prague in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Enjoyed seeing the Prague Castle. Excellent tour and tour guide.
Doing what: Prague Castle Walking Tour
The jewish quarter tour was excellent, becuase all the history told it make you understand a lot of things, I enjoyd the Vltava cruise and the fact that the guide helped you and walked with you to the place you have to take the boat. The Prague Castle tour is not inside the castle and their imprtant areas I think It could be better (does not matter if it has to cost a little more). Prague is a city that need to be walked, but the hop oon hop off tour moves out of the city so it make a little dificult t really get around.
Doing what: Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Tour: Jewish Quarter and Prague Castle Tours plus Vltava Cruise
An acceptable overview of this beautiful city. Mainly consisting of a minibus drive-by of some of Prague's major sights, with the majority of the tour spent around Prague castle, and the fantastic views of the city from the hill it sits atop. Our tour was delivered in 3 languages which clearly made it difficult for our guide and also us, as it limited the amount of info which could be shared as we passed each location.
I suggest a walking tour in conjunction (as we did, fabulous by the way, and no upfront charge) to get a more in depth view and understanding of this magnificent town's history and sights
Doing what: Prague in One Day Sightseeing Tour
This tour was reasonably good.
Prague Castle was quite interesting, Old Town as well, and the Vltava short cruise was OK.
The Jewish Quarter is quite small and although informative was somewhat disappointing.
Doing what: Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Tour: Jewish Quarter and Prague Castle Tours plus Vltava Cruise
At first the trip was fine. The bus took us from the meeting point to the castle. We arrived in time for the changing of the guards, but missed most of it. Then the guide took us through the castle ad told us a lot of interesting things, but if you had a question he could not answer, so after a few I gave up. I think he only knows what he is supposed to tell and nothing else.
When we came to the Golden Streets he apparently was in a hurry because rain was coming and we did not get any time to even look in the shops.
The tour was supposed to end at the Charles Bridge, but he said goodbye at the metro station and only pointed the way to the bridge and the tour ended half an hour early. We think that was because it was raining really hard by now.

This hop on hop off tour could have been planned better. Some of the drop off sites are quite far away from the actual points of attractions themselves. I'd strongly suggest looking to other hop on hop off companies offering more extensive routes. The Prague castle tour was OK. You don't go into the castle or the palace itself, however, the guide was informative and friendly. We also bought the boat ride tickets, which wasn't a good idea, since the boat ride is not near any drop off point. Either you spend money for a public transport ticket to get their or walk a long way from the nearest drop off point. Then again, in my opinion if you have to buy a public transport ticket additionally to a hop on hop off ride, then the hop on hop off tour has not been planned well. Especially when you're old, there is a limit to the amount of walking you can do during the day.

The two tours of the Prague Castle and the Jewish quarter made this tour really worth the money. The bus tour is somewhat disorganized. There are two busses. One with air conditioning and with a tour guide and another one without the tour guide and air conditioning. The busses were late by at least 20 mins on several occasions due to traffic, so you just have to hope that the busses were not cancelled standing and waiting. There should also be a description of how to redeem the tickets as in Old town there are a number of people walking around with red umbrellas, who were very nice and will lead you to their office for ticket redemption, but there are no stops or other signs in Old Town. Overall, this tour was worth the money. The two tours were very good, the Vltava river cruise was not worth the time, it is a slow moving boat on the river with no guides, so you just buy drinks on the boat and it went around one loop very slowly.

Another excellent tour!
The tour starts at the Powder Tower and ends at the Castle. 3 hours passed so fast that we have not even noticed. You'd see everything that is important to see and know about in Old Town and New Town, then you'd walk over Charls' bridge, then to the Castle.
Very rich history, various architecture styles well preserved, a lot of interesting facts. All kudos to the guide who was extremely knowledgable and accomodating: if the group expressed an interest to learn more about particular thing or to sneak into a site that was along our path but not necesserely part of the tour, she would not only allow that but provide all detail about the subject in question like that was part of the tour.
Highly recommended!

This tour was a very good value. Thomas who was our guide at the castle tour was excellent. Great if you want to see a lot in a short amount of time.
Doing what: Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Tour: Jewish Quarter and Prague Castle Tours plus Vltava Cruise
Fantastic way to learn more about this wonderful city. The bus tour was ideal and a good start to our time in Prague. The Jewish quarter tour was very informative. River cruise had no guide but was a good wind down after a busy day. Loved the castle tour and again a very knowledgable guide.
Doing what: Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Tour: Jewish Quarter and Prague Castle Tours plus Vltava Cruise
It is super easy and great tour guides here as well. You get to see all of the city and have the choice to get off and explore more or not. We did not get to do the river cruise, but we did to the tour of Prague Castle and the Jewish Quarter. Wasn't sure what to expect to see during the Jewish Quarter tour but it was so informative and really moving. A must see in an amazing city.

Barrel diameter on Mak-90 question for compatibility (rear sight block)
1BMF [Member]
I'm looking at a used Mak-90 I found in a pawn shop. Some moron cut the top half of the rear sight block off so his top cover mounted scope would work. I've looked all over and cannot find the specs for the diameter of the barrel on a stamped Mak-90 under the rear sight block.
Does anyone have these specs or know of a rear sight block that will fit a Mak-90?
This Mak already has a full set of Chinese wood and a spiker bayonet on it. Correct cut handguard as well, so it looks pretty good but the rear sight is completely gone.
From a quick look at it, it needs:
Correct top cover. It currently has an Akm robbed cover with a rail on top.
Rear sight base replaced or possibly welded back to spec.
From sight post, as it is missing.
New/correct bayonet screw, it has some generic hex screw that the bayonet pivots on.
The front sight post, bayonets screw and top cover are easy to find and replace. The rear sight block is what worries me.
They're asking $599 for the rifle. I think if I could get it for $500 or less I could restore it and be in a fair/reasonable price point.

Sounds like a pretty good deal if it has a factory bayonet. I didn't know that Mak90's had bayonets though.
You can get a lot of the original parts from
Polytech parts
They are in Atlanta I believe. You may be able to buy a complete barrel and just move your bayonet over to it instead of trying to press everything off to get to the rear sight base.
1BMF [Member]
Yes, I was looking at Polytechparts.com and if I get this rifle, ill order the parts from there or off of the EE or gunbroker.
I considered getting a new barrel assembly, but it would cost more than I would want to put into the gun.
I really need to know if any non Chinese rear sight blocks will fit, does anyone know? I had some trouble finding barrel specs for the rsb for the Mak-90.

Sharing the Love (Shines) |
| Print | |
Written by Taryn Cheal |
Friday, 23 September 2011 18:36 |
Last year during the Vancouver International Film Festival, a few friends and I wanted to see a movie so we (somewhat at random) picked one about the Canadian singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith. We had no idea what it was actually about but we had heard of the folk-pop artist and knew of a few songs of his. We have always been music lovers, so we figured it would be an evening well-spent. In all honest, we read that Feist was in the movie, and that is really why we picked it having very little exposure to Mr. Sexsmith himself. The film was Love Shines, a documentary about the struggling artist trying to break out into the mainstream music scene after a 20-year career in the independent music scene. Incidentally, this was the world premiere of the documentary and Ron Sexsmith and Bob Rock (a legendary producer working with Sexmith on his latest album) were both in the audience and held a small question and answer session after the movie, which was surprising to my friends and I who felt like party crashers amongst all these die-hard fans. The shock of the importance of this viewing aside, the documentary itself was excellent, and I would highly suggest it to anyone who has the opportunity to see it whether you have any exposure to Ron Sexsmith or not. It follows Ron in the process of writing and recording his latest album Long Player Late Bloomer taking a risk with the venerable rock producer Bob Rock in the attempt to create a Top 40 hit, a dream he has yet to obtain after two decades of making music professionally. The documentary also looks into Sexsmith's life, including an intimate exploration of the family he left behind to pursue his music career as well as Ron's feelings about the life he has chosen and the life he lost. Throughout the movie, you learn more and more about a man who wants to legitimize his life's choices by gaining some commercial success nearing the end of an epic music career that has just never allowed Sexsmith to break into the popular scene. It is a touching and honest look into Ron Sexsmith's world as he continues to work in a harsh industry.

Class is in session for the Mazda Road to Indy ladder system this weekend in Indianapolis. For the second time this year, all four series – the pinnacle IZOD IndyCar Series, with the Firestone Indy Lights, Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear, and Cooper Tires USF2000 National Championship powered by Mazda are all running on the same weekend.
To celebrate, the entire fields for the three MRTI series gathered for a full class photo-op Friday morning at IMS (ABOVE).
Carb Day's Indy Lights race – won by Esteban Guerrieri – kicked off the festivities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The action shifts to Lucas Oil Raceway on Saturday with the Night Before the 500 featuring Star Mazda and USF2000 on their first oval of the year, with USF2000 back in action for the first time since St. Petersburg at the end of March, and Star Mazda on track for the first time since Barber in April.
The capper comes Sunday with the 96thh Indianapolis 500, featuring a bevy of MRTI ladder system graduates. Friday was also a big day for Lights with the announcement of its new car for 2014.

I think I enjoyed editing this video as much as any I have done in months. Archie was just on brilliant form – inquisitive, fesity, chatty and funny too. The result is one of my favourite videos in a long while. And undoubtedly one of the messiest!
We often "breadcrumb" things in our kitchen, be it fish, seafood, chicken, pork or, as in this case, veal. And I can tell you… there is nothing more fun than breading food in the kitchen! Messy, yes. Even very extremely messy but Archie and I always have fun when we do it. Not to mention that most kids love eating anything that is crispy and breaded!!
Veal can be pricey but my local butcher had some on very special offer and they were too tempting to refuse (ethically reared veal of course). The butcher flattened them out and I knew that 2 escalopes would be more than enough to feed the three of us.
Recently during my BBC radio show, the lovely Kate from The Five Fs Blog, tweeted to say that she finds that breading never quite works for her, that it is often soggy. The method I use is as classic as it gets – flour, then egg then breadcrumbs. You need to get a really good glue when you dip whatever you are cooking in the egg after the flour. That seems to ensure that the breadcrumbs stay well attached and it also seems to provide a good barrier between the meat or fish and the pan. I think this is what ensures that the breadcrumbs don't go soggy…
In other news, I am now finally out of the bunker producing the exclusive content for the ebook version of my book. It has taken nearly two months but I really think the results will be worth all the effort. It will be available on May 26th from the itunes store – same date as the My Daddy Cooks hardback book, which is currently available to pre-order at the very tasty price of £11.05 from Amazon here.
To make these breaded veal escalopes, I bought two veal escalopes from my butcher. They weighed a little under 400g in all and he flattened them out for me. If your butcher won't do that for you, simply place the veal (or chicken/pork) escalopes between two sheets of clingfilm and give them a good whack with a rolling pin or other heavy object!
**A Note on Breadcrumbs** – I blitzed a load of Italian bread sticks in my food mixer to make my breadcrumbs. I also often use Matzo Meal, which acts as great breadcrumbs. Failing that, bakers or supermarkets always have breadcrumbs to give away from their bread cutting machines!
Preparation time 15 minutes
Cooking time 10 minutes
These quantities would serve a family of four.
2 x 250g veal escalopes (flattened) (or 3 chicken breasts, flattened).
4-5 tbsp plain flour, in a large bowl. You can season the flour with salt if you want…
2 eggs, gently whisked in another large bowl
5-6 tbsp bread crumbs
We served ours with green beans and some mini oven roast potatoes. Simply cut a couple of large potatoes into smallish cubes, toss them in oil and bake in a hot oven for 35-40 minutes until they are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Just priceless! It's a great video, Nick. Bet the clearing up was fun, too!
loved this vid. Hope you didn't get too much stick for making a mess! Delicious easy recipe – will be doing for family lunch this weekend. Great to see you both back.
Gorgeous! Mess = fun xx
Love this video. Just like my little boy, me saying "Hang on" while he is grabbing everything before I can get there to help him! I don't let him touch raw meat. How do you make sure he doesn't put his fingers in his mouth? Have you talked to him about it? I love to try new things with my son in the kitchen. I've got him cracking eggs now after seeing Archie. Keep up the good work : )
Love it. And love the use of the word hooligan. I have one of those too. x
Loved it – as always, Nick. I haven't checked in with you in a while, but I do enjoy the light background on your blog now – so easy to read everything. I like your easy way with Archie – he'll love to cook his entire life because of these wonderful times in kitchen with Daddy. Nice hints about breading here, too.
Love the video, Archie really enjoys cracking those eggs. xx
I make enough mess in the kitchen without my kids adding to it.
Seriously, thanks for the mention in the post. I really do struggle with breading all round. I will have to try this sometime and let you know how I get on. And the tip about the breadcrumbs – why have I not thought about that before?!
Liking the new angles
I hope you don't mind but I've just done a little Blog post about your new book, nip over to mine at http://ournewlifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/2011/0… to have a look.
Love the book.
Love the video and your concept. Think it's so important to introduce children to food and cooking as early as you can. Watched it with my little man and he kept saying AGAIN, AGAIN! Keep up the ggod work!
Finally – the secret to non-soggy, perfect breadcrumbs! We do homemade fishfingers in our house with polenta, but I always struggle to get the fish fully covered and non-soggy. Will now try flour first – thanks for the tip!

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) -- Police say a Talladega woman has been charged with manslaughter after a running over a 3-year-old child who fell out of her SUV.
The Daily Home of Talladega reports (http://bit.ly/10bE86b ) 22-year-old Rymeshia Williams was arrested Friday and charged with manslaughter. A judge set her bond at $30,000.
Police Capt. John McCoy says Williams told investigators the child freed itself from restraints inside the car Thursday afternoon and fell out while she was driving. He says police are still trying to piece together what happened. After being run over, the child died several hours later at Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
The child's identity was not immediately released and it was unclear if Williams was the mother. It was also unknown if Williams had hired an attorney.

Do you know when Heller's Punishment will be available on Barnes and Noble for Nook?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHey! I just checked Smashwords and the HP is still in the queue to be approved. Sorry. Nothing will happen now until Monday. All this is out of my control, but you can buy it directly from Smashwords for the Nook. Instructions from them are:
How do I download books to the Barnes & Noble nook?
Barnes & Noble is an authorized Smashwords retailer, so over 40,000 of the books you see at Smashwords are also for sale at B&N. For the nook, just attach the nook to your personal computer via the USB cable (makes it appear as a hard drive), and then download your books directly to your nook's My Documents folder. B&N calls the process "sideloading." Here's a video on the process: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/video.asp?bnit=H&bnrefer=EBOOKS&cds2Pid=30195#vid2

ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 22, 2012 at 10:22 AM
could you please make sure that blood feud is released on the kobo please as i love this series
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi there! Smashwords distributes books automatically to Kobo, so it should be available there when I've finished it. All my books should be there, but for some reason Heller has never appeared there. Smashwords have said they're reshipping some books to Kobo, so I hope Heller is one of them - it's weird when the other three in a series appear, but not the first free one! :-)

I was downloaded the first Heller book for free through Barnes and Nobel looking for a fun summer read and I not only found a great read, but my new favorite series! I finished the entire series in less than a week and can not wait to read what you have in store for the Heller family next. I could defiantly see this series as a TV series that I would become addicted to. I hope that you keep the Heller series going for a while. I plan to start the Little Town series next. Great work keep it coming!

I love, love, love the Heller series! I know you plan to write Heller's Decision and I can't wait but my question is will it end there? Or do you plan on keeping Heller and his team alive? I know it sounds silly but I read the first 4 in a few weeks and almost feel lost now that they are over. :(

Sometimes it's not good being a fast reader :( I have finished the entire Heller series in less than a week!! Now I'm going through Tilly withdrawls!

your series are amazing i have read both series waiting for the next....have you put a date yet on blood feud?
ReplyDelete Hi, I just wanted you to know that I love the Heller series. Heller, himself sounds like a dream ha. I was just browsing through books and came across the series and couldn't put the books down. You have an amazing outlook on the characters and I love that Tilly didn't give in so quickly to Heller :). Can't wait for Heller's Decision and however many mire books in the series!
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Sara. Thanks! Glad you've enjoyed the Heller series so far. Not sure how many books there will be in the series - strangely enough I was just thinking about this recently. One thing for sure - the series won't go on forever. It will probably end in the next couple of years. Same with my other series. After that - who knows ... :-)
- AnonymousSeptember 3, 2012 at 4:46 AM
I just finished Heller's Punishment and am absolutely anxiety ridden for the "Decision". I did notice that in the book with Meilei, there were a bit of similarities with him and the real life Sea Shepherds. Being from Australia, did they influence your character?
JaymiRepliesHi Jaymi! I hope to have HP out at the end of the year. And thanks for your comment about the Sea Shepherds. Though Meili is not based on any real person, the Sea Shepherds determination to end whale slaughter did inspire his character as did the activists who painted a slogan on the Sydney Opera House. As you can imagine, whale slaughter is a very hot topic in Australia every year.
Delete- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 at 7:52 AM
I can't thank you enough for having a character like him. It brings the issue of ocean conservation to the forefront in the least likely space. I'm a land crew member of Sea Shepherds in California. I appreciate that you've spoken about it (even indirectly) in your book. I'm hoping to be in Australia next year helping to prepare the Bob Barker for campaign.
Thank you for your books. I've just become more of a fan and plan on telling my on-shore and off-shore crew members about you. How cool that you're a member!! You've probably guessed that whale slaughter is something I feel very strongly about, so it only seemed natural to have a character like Meili, though I usually try not to impose my own views in my books - readers want to be entertained, not preached to!
Hope you do get to Australia and kudos to all you guys for what you do :-)

Well, I have now gone through 2 of the heller books and am on the third, since yesterday! Kind of scary really, lol. In my defense, i am sick in bed...not simply avoiding all my other life duties :)
Thoroughly enjoying this series so far as well, great work! Love the humor, my husband keeps looking at me like I'm crazy because I just sit there giggling away while I read, lol.
I am definitely a fan, and have already recommended your books on my Facebook and to a few friends. Please get better soon, but I'm happy that my books are helping a little :-)
And thanks so much for recommending my book on your FB and to friends - that's so nice of you, especially when you're feeling sick :-)

Here is another fabulous question….
Q: How did you start your research on Homeschooling Programs and how did you organize your day to fit school in on top of…everything else?
A: Good one. I did a ton of research on-line (mainly just goggling homeschool programs) and narrowed it down. I requested a ton of info. Once I got it all in I just looked at what they offered. We do not go to church, so it helped to choose programs that didn't have any religious connections. Then we looked at price. There are some pretty pricey ones out there. Ultimately the one we picked (Calvert) just felt right and it offered a program (for a additional fee) where you send in the test and someone else grades them….so I wasn't the bad guy……all the time . In the program they included the text books, paper, answer keys (thank god), even crayons. Everything you could need (except for a few items for science).
As far as fitting everything in….we just do it. We know what has to be done and really some how just make it work. The program we picked works so well for us because they give you a manual that really lays it all out for you. Each day is laid out; it pretty much tells you what to say and how. Obviously it can be adjusted to the family.
I really hope that helps. If you have any more questions about homeschooling, please do not hesitate to ask them.
Keep any other questions coming……I'm ready
4 Responses to "Q #2"
I don't know if I have the patience to homeschool… I have never even thought about it. Something to look into, though, since a lot of people are doing it.
interesting information on homeschool. thanks!
No freaking way!!! Girl that is awesome, the curriculum I used from preschool to 8th grade was Calvert! We're looking into using it for our children too because I had such a positive experience with them. It's a fantastic education! I also did the program you're doing with the teachers at the school grading the papers. It is so awesome to know someone else going down this path!

Pegg, Simon

Perry - Previous Article
Simon Pegg, who plays Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the "alternate reality" timeline of Star Trek that premiered in 2009, was born in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, England. After studying English literature and performance studies at Stratford-upon-Avon College and drama at the University of Bristol, he moved to London to work as a stand-up comedian. Soon he was appearing on numerous television shows.
His breakthrough came when Pegg created and co-wrote the hit sitcom Spaced, known for its quirky humor, pop culture references, eclectic musical choices and rapid-fire editing. His television credits include the BBC shows Final Demand, Doctor Who, and Big Train, and voices for Robot Chicken. Pegg co-wrote (with Edgar Wright) and starred in the motion picture Shaun of the Dead, which lived up to its billing as a "romantic zombie comedy," winning six awards, including the Peter Sellers Award for comedy (presented by the London Evening Standard). He co-starred in the Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks mini-series Band of Brothers and appeared in the films Mission: Impossible III, The Big Nothing and The Good Night. Pegg reprised his success with Edgar Wright in the feature Hot Fuzz, which opened as the number one film in the U.K. box office. He followed that with Run, Fatboy, Run, which also opened in the top spot in the U.K.
Just prior to his appearance as Scotty in Star Trek, he starred in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, with Kirsten Dunst, Megan Fox, Gillian Anderson, Danny Huston and Jeff Bridges. He has since voiced the character Buck in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and stars in the features Burke and Hare, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, Paul, Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol, and A Fantastic Fear of Everything.

There are plenty of photographers who work in the movie biz, and Zuckerman surely qualifies as one of the top celebrity photogs, but his work combines emotional depth and commercial appeal.
And because this is Miami, the opening reception for Zuckerman's exhibit will be hosted by Rachael Taylor and Ramon Rodriguez, stars of Charlie's Angels television show now being shot in our city. Read on for more details.
It seems fitting that Zuckerman would exhibit on South Beach as the city is likely to remind him of the niche he found for his considerable talents. The photographer seems at ease in the glitz and glam of Hollywood but is still able to recognize true emotional depth in his subjects even amidst the superficiality. His "Portrait" exhibit features a slew of famous faces on and off the set, including Will Smith, Javier Bardem, Morgan Freeman, Al Pacino, Alan Ginsberg, David Bowie, and Maya Angelou.

But just because he's worked with the biggest stars in the world it doesn't mean that Zuckerman won't put his talents to good use for commercial endeavors as he is often used to shoot advertising and publicity campaigns for the movies those celebrities are starring in. Among the movie sets he's been on to shoot are Terminator 3, Training Day, Transformers, and several Miami films including Bad Boys 2 and Any Given Sunday.
Robert Zuckerman's "Portraits," and parts of his "Time Machine" and "Kindsight" exhibits will be at the Betsy Hotel-South Beach (1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach). Admission is free. The opening reception is on Sunday from 7 to 10 p.m. The exhibit will be up through the end of the year. Call : 305-531-6100 or visit www.thebetsyhotel.com.
An opening reception for "Focus Gallery: Joel Meyerowitz- Aftermath" exhibit will be held August 18 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Miami Art Museum. Police, firefighters, and MAM members get in free. Regular admission to MAM costs $8 for adults, $4 for seniors, and is free for children under 12. The exhibit officially opens August 19 and runs through November 4. Call 305-375-3000 or visit miamiartmuseum.org.

Maybe a simple convention is all that's needed. (Echoing myself in another thread.) If the full test set for "foo" is too cumbersome, release it as "foo-test". It should be easy to write a script that installs "foo-test" for every installed gem "foo". (Actually I think that the test-driven philosophy should encourage developers to think of the tests as just part of the product and package them as such whenever it is reasonably possible. But there are bound to be occasions when this is not practical.) Jeremy Henty
