Hello Jeff,
Who was the gunsmith who assembled this pistol? The gunsmith's initials are generally found under the left grip. If not there I will give a second place to look.

text: Guys Ive searched the net far and wide and I just cant seem to find a single product containing exclusively beta alanine and some form of micronized creatine. I plan on stacking rpm and drive with it. I am really trying to watch my wallet at the moment but would it be better to buy in bulk? I also wouldnt mind having some citruline malate or glutamine in there but those aren't necessities.

By William Shakespeare
Simon Russell Beale takes the title role in Shakespeare's strange fable of consumption, debt and ruin, written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton.
Wealthy friend to the rich and powerful, patron of the arts and ostentatious host, Timon of Athens is surrounded by freeloaders and sycophants. He vastly outspends his resources but, finding his coffers empty, reassures his loyal steward that all will be well.
When he calls upon his associates, instead of offering help, they hang him out to dry. After a final, vengeful banquet, Timon withdraws to a literal and emotional wasteland, living off roots and pouring curses on a morally bankrupt Athens.
Simon Russell Beale has been described by the Independent as "the greatest stage actor of his generation." His recent work for the National Theatre includes London Assurance, Much Ado About Nothing and Collaborators, John Hodge's Olivier Award-nominated new play in which he portrayed Stalin.
Cast includes: Martin Chamberlain, Jason Cheater, Stavros Demetraki, Paul Dodds, Deborah Findlay, Ciaran McMenamin, Simon Russell Beale, Nick Sampson
Director: Nicholas Hytner

Includes:Wrong Turn (2003), MPAA Rating: R Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007) Wrong Turn 3 (2009) Wrong Turn A turn down an uncharted dirt road leads six young people into a night of pure terror in this horror story. Chris (Desmond Harrington) is driving through West Virginia on his way to a job interview when an auto accident slows highway traffic to a near standstill. Afraid he'll be late, Chris takes a detour down an old dirt road; a distracted Chris doesn't see an SUV stuck in the middle of the road before it's too late, and he plows into the back after his tires suddenly blow. The driver of the SUV, Jessie (Eliza Dushku), was out on a camping trip with four of her friends -- Evan (Kevin Zegers), Francine (Lindy Booth), Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), and Scott (Jeremy Sisto) -- when their tires went out, and as Jessie and Chris compare notes on their accidents, they discover that the road has been sabotaged with barbed wire. With both parties in need of a telephone, Evan and Francine are left to look after the cars while the other four set out to find help. However, Evan and Francine soon discover they've been led into a horrible trap, and as Chris, Jessie, and their friends search for help, they find that they've fallen victim not to local pranksters, but a gang of inbred backwoods killers with a taste for blood. Wrong Turn was produced in part by Stan Winston, a legendary special-effects artist whose work has appeared in such films as Jurassic Park, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Wrong Turn 2: Dead End The malformed mayhem continues as a group of reality game show contestants descend into the West Virginia wilderness in order to participate in an apocalypse-themed game show, only to be brutally killed off by a deranged clan of redneck cannibals. Dale Murphy (Henry Rollins) is a former special forces soldier who now hosts a reality game show in which contestants must struggle to survive in the wilderness with few resources and only their wits to guide them. After the members of the group are split up into partners, they are sent into the woods to locate supplies that have been strategically hidden by the show's producers. Should they fail to achieve this and various other tasks, they will be sent back to civilization in shame while the others vie for substantial cash prize. But the cameras aren't the only things watching as the competition heats up, because within these woods dwells a terrifying secret. Later, as the day goes on and the body count begins to multiply, both the contestants and the hard-nosed host must fight to avoid becoming the catch of the day for a family of hungry backwoods cannibals. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide Wrong Turn 3 No synopsis available.
Over the Hedge - DVD
A group of feisty forest critters awaken following the winter freeze to discover that not only has a new neighborhood cropped up during the cold months, but living in close proximity to humans may have its benefits in this computer-animated comedy-adventure for all ages featuring the voices of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, Avril Lavigne, Eugene Levy, and William Shatner. Despite Verne the Turtle's (Garry Shandling) initial hesitance to breach the formidable foliage that has appeared on his doorstep since last fall, the arrival of fearless raccoon RJ (Willis) and revelation that their new human neighbors throw out enough food in one day to feed a whole forest lead the gang to consider taking the plunge and exploring the snack-filled suburbs. As Verne and RJ learn to work together in taking on their strange new surroundings, Stella the Skunk (Sykes), Hammy the Squirrel (Carrel), Heather the Opossum (Lavigne), and Heather's father, Ozzie (Shatner), join in on the fun by scavenging for Girl Scout cookies and attempting to scuttle past the pesky new suburbanites undetected. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Where in Maine?
Have you ever tiptoed through these tulips?
- Photography by: Alan Lavallee
With colorful tulips and a spinning windmill, you might think this is the Netherlands. But this image was shot along a road in the Pine Tree State, a scenic byway that winds from the sea at Southport to the woods of Coburn Gore. This spot sits somewhere in the middle, in a town that, like the Dutch countryside, is largely made up of water. Called Washington Plantation when it was first settled by New Hampshire expats in 1774, the place was an early potato center. The outflow of its many ponds and streams was then harnessed to power mills, and during the nineteenth century it turned out shovels, spools, lumber, rakes, shingles, scythes, boxes, and packing excelsior. When the railroad arrived in the 1860s it brought with it all kinds of tourists, and the town was transformed into a summer resort renowned for its fishing. Celebs soon followed — famous New York Supreme Court Justice Joseph Crater loved to boat here, and it's where he got the mysterious phone call that lead to his disappearance. Writers like E.B. White and Ernest Thompson also enjoyed angling on the great pond. Have you ever tiptoed through the tulips here?

Posted 4:04 PM 12/31/2012 : Last day of the year in the Sierra Vista snow
TUCSON - 2012 was one of the warmest years on record, but Southern Arizonans are thankful for the chill in the air and the gift of snow from Mother Nature on the last day of the year.
Early morning snow blanketed most of Sierra Vista.
"Thank for God for giving the snow on the last day of the year," said Andre Quiles. Quiles and his family are from Brazil. "To see snow in the desert it is way different and a big blast especially the last day of the year. It's so amazing," he said. It's his son David's first time seeing snow.
"He's so happy. He's having fun," said Karla Buldrini. "This morning when we woke up, we saw all the snow and for us it's all new and we were happy, and we're just having fun. It's nice for us too."
For Josh Smith, it's a birthday treat. "It's cool," said the five-year-old. He's building a snowman.
Snow showers throughout the night and early morning made for up to two inches of snow.
"I didn't think I'd be celebrating his fifth birthday building a snowman in the park kind of odd but nice," said Josh's dad Scott. The snow stuck for the morning hours enough for Josh's snowman. A treat these families didn't take for granted. They made sure they got out to play on the last day of the year.

An estimated 50000 people expected in Tampa for the Republican National Convention and we've been reporting things have not gone as originally planned.
The decision to postpone the convention because of tropical storm Isaac has officials moving quickly to rework their schedule for the rest of the week.
Joining us now aren't solutions director Sean Spicer.
The convention officially kicks off tomorrow with the a regular schedule for about ten minutes and then recess on how -- -- -- work.
Well as you mentioned we're gonna take -- off tomorrow.
Will gavel then we'll immediately recess and we'll start our programming to stay at 2 o'clock.
So we're gonna have a great three day convention.
Adjust the schedule just a -- we have the same headliners we've got to -- Everybody that was scheduled to speak still speaking and making -- proper adjustments to ensure that we have a fantastic convention allows America to.
To get to see Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan understand them from a variety -- points and understand their vision for the future.
You know show on Tuesday is -- want to say that I see on the schedule and I'm counting some thirteen maybe fourteen if you count like one on video speeches.
And they are.
Just before 10 o'clock and at that point it's really when things get rolling along how are you gonna get all that in a school we see.
-- you're gonna see and Romney and excuse me -- and Romney.
We've got a ton of speakers from -- some members of congress.
Governors some of the best and brightest and our party small business owners it's just a great night actually every night we've we've lined it up with you some of the the rock stars not in our party but throughout America who can speak to Mitt Romney.
What his presidency would mean to them in their vision for the future.
So I think every one of these nights you're just gonna see a tremendous amount of talent out there on the stage and it's something that we help every American has an opportunity tune into.
You know in addition to some of the speakers that we would recognize in the political realm I see that actress Janine Turner is on -- you've got some celebrity showing up to.
Let's fast forward if we can't -- Thursday night.
You know -- people see on that night.
Well they're gonna see a bunch of things obviously senator Marco Rubio this just.
A fantastic rising -- -- -- party will introduce Mitt Romney and then obviously the main attraction that night will be when America gets to hear from the governor himself.
Any talks about a better future.
And his vision in his policy and how he wants to move this country forward get the economy moving.
Help college costs and energy independence in this country so I that's sort -- -- all of this builds up to that big Thursday night speech with the governor himself.
Gets to put it in his own words.
-- some before I let you go candidates hope to get a bounce from the conventions and I vastness of a lot of analysts but I'm curious from someone who works directly with.
The Republican National Committee how much does this convention matter -- your presumptive nominee push -- to win the White House.
I think it's one several upcoming events it's important for this time there's many people who watch -- -- Tune into politics a lot but for a lot of Americans this will be their first time to really hear beyond a 32 commercial the governor his family.
And other people lay out who Mitt Romney is and why he cares so much about.
Putting this country first and and helping -- come back from where it currently stands.
So I don't know what number -- -- -- but I will tell you this I feel very confident that we come out of there.
The level of enthusiasm for Mitt Romney Paul Ryan is going to be unbelievable as we head into the final stretch of this campaign.
Well I see the schedule as long I've got several pages of it here before -- let you go any surprise maybe just even a hint of something that we.
Wouldn't think that -- -- I think you're gonna have to wait and see what it is it's great as it stands I don't know how many more surprises we can cut that.
If I can Harris I just say you know you guys have been doing -- his job covering this.
Our our number one priority though as we move forward is the safety and and well being of not just the people here in the Tampa Bay community of an excellent -- But the people that are visiting here and anyone that maybe in the -- of the potential storm is in the -- -- -- and continue to kind of keep an eye on this and and really do we can make sure that that this is a great convention.
One that we ensure the safety -- for the people here.
Sean Spicer communications director for the RNC we appreciate your time thank you very much at the -- convention you Matt -- thank you well this the of.

EDIT : Sorry, the copypaste went weird and many sentences were cut, explaining the difficulty to read...I think it's ok now
Donrir Steelbender, Dwarf Engineer , LEGION
Does a dwarf need a reason to fight ? Well. One day Donrir woke up and his Ma' told him "Sorry son, no more beer, the Hellbourne stole it all !"
Possible skins: http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/42902
Role : Solid damager
Range: 180 | Move Speed: 290
Primary: INT
Str: 23 + 2,4 | Agi: 14 + 1.3 | Int: 17 + 2.4
Damage: 39 – 44 | HP: 573 | Mana: 226
Base Armor: 3
1 : Napalm Drench : Floods a zone with burning Napalm, burning with more violence the longer the ennemies stay in the zone.
Range : 550
Radius: 100/150/200/250 ( so from one end to the other it's a 200->500 distance napalmed )
Effect : Stacking dot per second, dot last 3 seconds after leaving the zone : 5/10/15/20 dps [[Maximum of 5 stacks]]
Duration : 10 seconds
Mana cost : 100/130/150/170
Cooldown : 35 seconds
Example : A creep enters the zone (lvl 4) just when it pops. First second it's dealt 10 damage. 2Nd, 20, 3rd, 30 etc. So the damage dealt vary greatly. Stunning the whole enemy team in this will deal HUGE damages. But it's also easily wasted, the cooldown and manacost isnt negligible.
Note : I'd like to have something like a 0,8 second channeling while Donrir
pours the napalm, during this time the puddle's size increase, and is inflamed at the end of the channeling or when channeling is broken. With a fire effect of sorts on him.
2 : Improvised battlebot
Whenever Donrir hits a siege unit or a building, he stuffs broken parts of it in his pockets (works when denying own siege units and buildings). Donrir also earns 2 parts for every last hit, 4 when last hitting a building/siege unit.
Donrir can then extremly rapidly build an improvised battlebot, rushing to the direction Donrir is facing, damaging and stunning every unit it passes near. At least 10 parts (hits) needed, the more parts the better. Cap of 60 parts. Donrir occasionally finds parts on the ground (1 every 20 seconds)
Parts are obviously lost when the spell is cast. All parts are lost if Donrir dies.
Bot size = usual hero size, about 100. Skin should look like clockwerk goblin in DotA. Effect on a 150 radius around the bot (something like nymphora's stun I guess)
4/8/12/16 physical damage per part
0,2/0,4/0,6/0,8 second stun per 10 parts. Max is 3,5 secs
Distance rushed by the goblin : 400/500/600/700 (the goblin's speed is about the same as Defiler/Pyro wave aoe)
Mana cost : 100/140/180/220
Cooldown : 30 seconds
1,2 second channeling while we can see him busy with a wrench (doable cloaked, but he's stunnable)
Notes : Not spammable at all and costly, hard to place well, it can be a VERY dangerous aoe disable/damage when fully charged : that's 960 BASE PHYSICAL damage (reduced by armor) and 3,5 second stun at level 4.
YES it will likely be changed, because in this case with packed ennemies, it is incredibly OP. BUT, it takes a LONG time to collect these parts, you have to channel in the good direction, you might be stunned, manacost is very high, cooldown is pretty long and anyway you have to collect parts again, and it is easily dodgable if you see or predict the channeling.
3 : Explosive death (TOGGLE)
If Donrir has enough fuel (mana) left when he gets killed, he will die in a huge explosion, dealing important damages to everything (including ALLIES) around him. The more mana left, the more damage
25% of Max mana needed
Radius : max damage in a 250 aoe around Donrir, half damage between 300 and 400. In addition, heroes at 180 range or less are sprayed with napalm remnants, and suffer a 20% slow and 5/10/15/20 dps dot for 5 seconds.
Damage : 0,5/1/1,5/2x remaining mana.
Mana cost : 0
Cooldown : 140 seconds.
Minimum of 200 damage.
Maximum damage = Donrir's max mana. Cap of 1500
Damage done on allies is halved.
Works as DotA Goblin Techies suicide : Donrir will earn the gold from the kills, but no experience.
Notes : You have to be very careful toggling this. Don't damage your allies or waste it when you don't have enough mana to kill.
4 : Proximity mines
Similar as techies in DotA : you can click on the mines individually to make them explode, or use an extra ability shortcut to make the mines at range all at the same time. Range = 1300. Mines are invisible, last 8 minutes, don't damage buildings, have 300 hp and are immune to magic and cleaving effects. When destroyed by ennemies they don't explode.
You can stack proximity mines close to one another, and get a (very) little sight of the area (200 around the mine)
Damage : 300/450/600 at 200 range, half damage between 200 and 300
Mana cost : 200/250/300
Cooldown : 10 seconds
General notes :
- He can't do much solo, but well used in teamfights, hes incredibly deadly.
- Bad farmer, bad last hitter. He doesnt need many items to be powerful (kinda like Behemoth/earthshaker), and he will have a hard time getting much gold anyway. Attack animation should be pretty low.
- He has a good strength gain, but he needs LOADS of mana.
- Very good ambusher/initiator, bad at escaping
- Silenced, he's as useless as Thunderbringer(zeus)/Pyromancer(not-yet-Lina) EXCEPT that his Suicide skill can trigger.
- Like Techies, very situational hero, most of the time he will be pretty useless, but sometimes he can rape the whole enemy team inside out.
- He has to get a Null's Stone (Linken's sphere), maybe Shrunken's head (BKB). Assassin's Shroud (Lothar's edge) can be useful too. Post haste/enhanced marchers should be superior to treads. What he needs is lots of intelligence/mana regen. Basically most items casting spells can come in handy for him (Codex/Dagon, Puzzlebox/Necronomicon, Cyclone/Sheep disablers...)
Important note : He might become a ranged hero, with a rifle (like dwarven sniper), I just don't know yet. In any case, his attack animation is going to be SLOW.
I've been very enthusiastic about this hero. Some things maybe suck, some might be OP.
Give me what you have : OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS
Thanks !

techis was a useless hero in dota i dont see why we need him here
he can kill 1-8 times early game and in 20 min he become realy suckish :\
i dont like the idea
I don't know if it's only me, but this was hard to read. You shouldn't compare as much, and rather talk what it does.
I see where you're going with this post, but you have to work more on the post. It's so ... HARD TO READ
Sorry dude
Fixed some broken sentences and added some bbcode, sorry for the inconvenience
I like the mechanic of the second spell.
You should change his ulti.
pub-only hero that turns in to free food for the enemies like techies, /vote no
When will people get it in there heads. Techies is only bad if the player is bad. SAME GOES FOR EVERY OTHER FRICKIN HERO. Techies just might seem a bit better to some pubs. But others might not like it.
How could you ever call techies useless?
Original poster's build is god awful yes, but real techies is incredible, late game techies is one of the strongest heroes available, and one of the few with infinite disable combo's
Eul's, Guinsoo, mines and stun traps make him an incredible ally
I don't understand why, with an semblance of intelligence, you would try and change heroes that have been worked out by icefrog and beta testers, and completely screw them up
They've been working for balance on DotA for far longer than this game has been around, and you put all that work to waste with some of these changes.
This look an funny character to play
I never tried to PORT a TECHIES, only the ulti is similar, and the 3rd skill somewhat. If you want another DoTA copypaste yeah, why not get 100% exact same techies, but that was never the point of my thread...
I dont like explosive death, can be used for griefing
Techies poll in my signature. Please take the time to vote yes or we may never see our beloved techies in hon.
Bump :-( Ironically Techies fan are voting no and want a copy/paste of the old techies instead. *sob*

Police Pull Over More Drivers For DNA Tests 558
from the get-away-from-me-with-that-crap dept.
Because my $DAYJOB calendar has a lot of proprietary information in it. Since it's Outlook, that often includes documents attached in calendar appointments, but even without that, meeting announcements about "lets talk about how to fix the $FOO problem with $NEXT_PROJECT" aren't something we'd trust to an internet-based cloud service without specific contracts in place.
I've got a Coby 10" tablet running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (i.e. really vanilla, with no manufacturer's software value added.) It'll run Google Play Store apps just fine.
The main thing it's missing is a program to sync the calendar with MS Outlook or at least accept iCal events; it really really wants you to sync its calendar app with Google Calendar, and I'm not going to sync my $DAYJOB calendar with Google. The free Play Store apps to do this haven't been very reliable, and $30 is more than I want to gamble for a commercial program that may not be any better.
It's a consumer product. They'll sell a lot less of it if they introduce it in January than if they'd gotten it out Dec. 1, much less pre-Black-Friday.
I'm guessing the answer is probably no, because it's not something that's easy to do in plastic, and in a hotel room you can get by with heating the milk in a microwave, while there are other devices out there for stove tops or camping stoves. But I'd love to see one if there's a practical way to do it.
I met Adler a few years ago at a design thing at Stanford. I forget if it was after I'd bought my Aeropress. The press isn't the same as a high-pressure espresso machine, but it's pretty good, and really convenient.
Aerobie's dog frisbees seemed like they'd be fun also, if you've got an appropriate dog. (I've got cats; flying catnip mice are only interesting to the cats if they're throwing them around themselves.)
The Apartheid governments of South Africa had no business calling anybody else terrorists; Mandela was 30 when they took over, and they were far worse than the British colonial government he'd been working against before then.
OK, I haven't actually taken this approach with either my parents or my wife's mom
We got my wife's mom a generic Windows PC when she retired, with AOL. It let her chat with her friends, keep up on the celebrity news, and generally stay connected to the world when she was getting less mobile. "Computer security" for her system meant occasionally formatting the disk, reinstalling Windows from scratch, reinstalling a new free AOL coaster, and having her log in to AOL, because she kept everything she cared about in the cloud rather than on her PC.
Yes, you could buy a pack of 10 incandescent bulbs for less up-front money than an LED that will outlast all of them, though my wife just bought some LED bulbs for $5 (I think they're 40-watt equivalent), and I've bought 60-watt equivalent bulbs for $10. But you can't run the bulbs for all that long without the cost of electricity making up for the lower purchase price, and for the guy in Wisconsin who considers the waste heat to be a feature, remember that that's only true half the year, and if you're in Wisconsin, you've probably got a heating system that's much more efficient than the electric heat I have here in California.
USB mice wander off and disappear from the lab. Mice with PS/2 connectors last forever, or at least there are always lots of spares hanging around. I think we've thrown out all our serial mice.
The first space race was about satellites, and the US lost; the reason for the moon was partly because it was a sufficiently big project to make up for having lost the first round. The real technical driver on both sides was ICBMs, but a lot of ego got dragged along as well.
Yes, they have limitations, and want to lock you in. But iPads, like most Apple products, are designed obsessively to Just Work. Also, you get the option of having a Retina display, which may or may not be extra-helpful, depending on your dad's vision.
I don't know about you, but the only time I notice the LEDs on my keyboard are when something's wrong (e.g. everything's frozen, and I look at the disk LED to see that it's just the disk busy again), and they're not very bright. This has a brighter RGB LED that gives you a wide range of colours. In practice, no, I wouldn't bother using one of these things on my laptop, because it's physically awkward; might be fun to build something like this for a desktop machine, I suppose. (OTOH, the next desktop machine I'm likely to build would be a Raspberry Pi, which has its own support for this kind of thing, and the LED could be useful because the box itself would be jammed behind the TV.)
In this case it's an Atmel atTiny85 instead of a PIC chip, and a tri-color RGB LED instead of three separate LEDs, but yeah, it's not all that complex. It also has a printed circuit board, not particularly complex, and yes, you could build it yourself on breadboard. You could also snark about how Arduinos cost ~$30 when they only have
You could also buy a Digispark for ~$9 which has a Tiny85 and a voltage regulator, and breaks out the pins for convenient access, with room for headers so you can build the equivalent of an Arduino shield. Instead of a USB socket, it uses the trick of printing traces on the PCB in a layout that acts as a USB Type A plug, so it's more compact and doesn't need a wire.
Or you could spend ~$8 for an Adafruit Trinket and add an LED; it may be a shade less convenient than the Digispark just because they put the connectors on two sides of the board instead of one (so it's harder to use an RGB LED, but you could put it on the back of the board.)

Gears have shifted within the last year, and the name of the SEO game is content. What are all of the ways we can generate useful or interesting content for potential customers, followers, friends, etc. Today in our Effective SEO update, we talk about Pinterest. Specifically, we talk about the value of adding video to your Pinterest board and how creating a diverse and engaging board can lead to more interactions with the people following you.
Many people that use Pinterest don't even know that they can pin videos to their boards and believe it or not videos can be one of the most effective way to get other Pinterest users to see and share your content. Most of the people that browse on Pinterest do so while doing other things. Social media users are generally considered passive users for that reason, and it takes a lot to keep their attention. Videos are an excellent way to do this. By creating video pinboards, you're more likely to hold a user's attention for more than just a minute or two. Once a user likes your content and spends more than a few minutes with it, they'll be more likely to click through to your site or share your content with other like-minded individuals.
Pinning Videos to Existing Boards
If you're already using Pinterest and have created boards that you add to on a regular basis, consider adding a video the next time you want to add content to a board. Videos can attract people that already have an interest in your content or a specific board to come back and look at your content again. In some cases, you may find that people who have already commented on your boards or shared them will do so again if you add video content.
Picking Video Content to Pin to Existing Boards
While the video content you add doesn't have to be yours, it should of course be related to the board that you're pinning it on however, the video content you add to an existing pinboard really doesn't have to have a ton of value. That means that if you have a pinboard about "How to take care of Dachshund's", for example, there's absolutely nothing wrong with adding a short YouTube video of dachshund puppies playing in the park or running after a ball. That video doesn't really contribute anything to the quality of your content, but it doesn't take away from your real quality information, either. In fact, pinning a video could get more people to check out the quality content on the rest of the board. After all, who doesn't want to watch cute puppies playing in the park or chasing after a ball on a summer day? People that do watch your video may share your other content and check out your other boards as well.
Creating Pinboards Exclusively for Videos
Adding video to your existing pin boards isn't the only option when it comes to putting video content on Pinterest. While that may be helpful for some Pinterest users, others may find that making a new pin board or two exclusively for certain types of videos will be best for them. For example, a pin board dedicated exclusively to funny viral videos may be a big hit, and on that particular board, there's really no room for anything except video content. Pinboards created exclusively for video can hold a Pinterest user's attention for a much longer period of time than a simple photo pin board – no matter how elaborate that photo pin board is. Users that are looking at videos are also much more engaged because they require them to look and listen.
When a user is watching one of your videos, they're actively engaging with your content. When a user is just looking at a photo, they could be doing a hundred other things at the same time. In fact, many passive users of Pinterest probably watch television, listen to music or talk with friends or family members at the same time. Even if you create memorable content, a user that isn't fully engaged is likely to forget about it as soon as they open up a new tab in the browser or turn their computer off.
Make Sure Your Video Content is Enticing
The video content you pin to your boards should have something about it, at least to your target audience, which makes it nearly irresistible. Cute puppies for pet lovers, beautifully decorated cakes for foodies – the content doesn't matter as long as you know there are people out there that simply can't resist clicking it. By creating content that's immediately enticing to people you'll get a lot more likes and repins.

Second Richest Member Of Congress Laments Obamacare Premiums
GOP Senator Advocates Calling Obamacare By Its Full 'Orwellian' Name
Obama Won't Choose Between Clinton, Biden For 2016
Republicans are looking at changing demographics around the country, and they don't like what they see. Forced to confront this new reality, they must choose between changing their policies, or changing the rules whenever they can.
In thinking about Nelson Mandela, his life and his legacy, a metaphor comes to mind: that of a great, one-for-the-ages comet. Mandela was a great comet of a man; we are not likely to see someone like him again anytime soon.
What follows is a collage of sentences from the first one hundred negative responses to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz's official statement on the death of Nelson Mandela. The sentences, taken from the Senator's Facebook page, are unedited, though spelling mistakes were corrected.
Nelson Mandela was a stranger to hate. He knew that the future demanded that he and his country move beyond the past. And he didn't want to be remembered as a saint -- he wanted to be remembered as man who made difficult decisions.
Okay, there were too many negatives in that title. Let me say it more positively: We positively must extend UI benefits, lest 1.3 million UI recipients lose needed UI benefits in a job market that is improving, but still slack.
I had the honor of working with Madiba often during my time as co-chairman of the U.S.-South Africa Binational Commission. Each and every time I was with him, I was awed by his commanding yet graceful presence.
They have lifted millions of poor families and children out of poverty but now are under assault by political extremists. We must stand up and refuse to let them turn the clock of progress backwards.
Democrats are hammering out a deal with transparent fraud Paul Ryan when they should be shouting the truth to anyone who'll listen. And the rest of us? We should be reaching for pitchforks.
In one of the most popular TEDTalks of all time, Simon Sinek vividly illustrates the communication style that history's most influential people and organizations share.
Nelson Mandela wasn't a "personality" politician. He was the leader of a movement and a model for the world. We'll be learning from his example long after the eulogies have ended.
The fundraising for Virginia Governor-Elect Terry McAuliffe's inaugural party is seeing a serious lift due to donations from fossil-fuel dependent corporations. That these fossil-foolish interests can (seemingly) buy a seat at the table for such relatively paltry amounts is disconcerting.
The essence of free markets is competition and this applies equally to wages as to prices. In theory the system is fair, but in practice, a handful of major players set the wage level for smaller competitors as well.
As a former newspaper reporter and insurance company executive, I'd like to make a few suggestions to journalists who are approached by people claiming that because of the Affordable Care Act, they'll have to pay far more for coverage next year than they're paying now.
Like millions of parents and activists who oppose genetically modified food, I feel that the stakes are very high in this battle the safety of our world's food supply. If we are to win it, we are going to have to fight tougher. And smarter.
Malcolm, we know that South Africa continues to face its own struggles and that the United States is not a post-racial society, not when with "The New Jim Crow" such a large percentage of black men are incarcerated.
There is a lot to be said for hanging. Best of all, the executioner seeking to buy rope for a hanging does not have to engage in the sort of felonious conduct in which a recently filed lawsuit suggests Texas execution officials were forced to engage in order to obtain a death dealing drug.
Welcome back (after we took last week off, to digest) to our Friday roundup! We should have two weeks of news to cover, but nothing much of anything strange or startling happened Thanksgiving week, so we're going to concentrate on just this current week.
Supporters of the ACA say that the opposition does not have an alternative plan. In fact, congressional opponents have offered alternatives, going all the way back to 2009.
America needs a strong middle class but the mindless sequester cuts threaten the very priorities that help build and sustain it: childhood nutrition, student aid, job training, and housing assistance programs.

Welcome to Dorothy Danforth's blockbuster of a backyard in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. A master at setting the stage for a spectacular four-season show, Dorothy is one of the most passionate—and successful—gardeners you'll ever meet. But her secret is surprisingly simple: "Know what blooms and when." That's because, for Dorothy, a garden is like a play. Each plant has a role, and timing is everything. Use her tips to bring out your garden's good side!
Each spring, Dorothy's garden awakens as a cast of spring bulbs and perennials, such as bellflower and phlox, take the stage. These early-season stunners aren't happy accidents, however. Dorothy plans their entrance—dividing and planting them months before.
But after the bulbs fade, Dorothy really has to work her magic. That's because, without her help, color wouldn't grace her garden until early July, when her perennials hit their peak bloom time. To achieve continuous color in the lean months, Dorothy relies on annuals with dramatic blooms and foliage like Icicle pansy and fire-engine-red salvia.
These supporting players in the garden make for a strong finish late into the season, too. "Perennials come and go, but most annuals stay until a killing frost," says Dorothy. And while past efforts have included classic favorites like marigold, zinnia and geranium, she's found newer varieties of petunia, vinca, ageratum, coleus and salvia that typically last longer and come in a wider range of colors.
Dorothy is also diligent in noting how any new additions perform in her landscape. She carefully tracks each plant's bloom time and watches to see which are high-maintenance (e.g., sensitive to moisture, susceptible to fungus). These observations help her in future decision making and guarantee healthy beds and borders that shine in all seasons.
While it's her plants that draw the accolades, Dorothy knows that a well-planned set showcases her strongest performers. Garden structures like a gazebo help to frame the garden and offer a focal point. Winding pathways connect the beds, suggest depth and beckon visitors to wander the one-third acre property. Pretty accents like birdbaths, gazing balls and benches lend year-round interest to the garden and tie everything together.
Dorothy likes to experiment with plant combos that make the most of the seasons. One of her favorites is purple aster and yellow goldenrod. "When it comes to color, I don't follow a plan," says Dorothy. "I feel that all colors and textures can be combined in some way. I just look at my flower beds and visualize what plants would look good together."
But finding and knowing how to use long-blooming, colorful plants that flourish in fall takes time to master. Dorothy likes to use repeat-blooming daylilies, fall-blooming allium and black-eyed Susans for their endurance. She even found a yellow Sundaze strawflower that blooms up until the hard frost. Other autumn bloomers, like snake root, aster and 'Autumn Fire' sedum, also help to extend the life of her garden. Dorothy purposely plants these late-season performers next to early-spring bloomers in hopes they disguise any dying foliage as they take the stage.
While most gardeners put their gardens to rest in fall, Dorothy is still busy watering, planting and cutting back spent foliage (which usually produces a flush of green late in the season). It's this dedication that lasts until the snow flies that brings out her garden's best in fall, an epic of color and interest unmatched in other Zone 5 yards.
Achieving season-long color takes time and diligence but, as Dorothy says, "A garden is a work of art you can change every season...and it nurtures one in proportion to the gardener's effort to nurture it." In other words, give your garden a little of your time and be rewarded with a captivating show of color that'll have you asking for an encore.

One noted columnist writes that Obama partner Rahm Emanuel has blood on his hands for the 470 homicides in the most corrupt city in the U.S., Chicago. Emanuel has gone overboard to keep guns out of the homes of private law-abiding citizens while ignoring the ease that gangs are able to secure weapons. This is exactly what Obama planned when he sent his partner to Chicago to be the mayor. The REAL reason that Obama and the Socialist/Communist side wants to disarm citizens is because it is much easier to control and conquer an unarmed citizenry. We have been told by many Communist leaders that left the party and the same by Nazi leaders that left their party that we, the U.S.A., are following the same path that Russia and Germany followed under their infamous dictators. Most of America acknowledges that we have a highly potential dictator in the making in our White House now and it's just a matter of time before he takes off his mask and exposes himself for what he really is...Goodbye America

Symposia / General Information
D01 Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications
A Workshop on Uncertainty in the Coatings Industry will be held Monday, January 27, 2014 from 5:30pm – 7:00pm. Sponsored by ASTM Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications, the workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency Houston in Houston, TX, in conjunction with the January standards development meetings of the committee.
Objective Uncertainty abounds us in every aspect of life, what we strive to achieve is to reduce uncertainty yet it can all but be eliminated. At best we try and reduce uncertainty to give us the highest level of confidence possible to help achieve a desired result. The higher the level of confidence we have by reducing the level of uncertainty, the greater the probability we have to predict possible outcomes.
As mentioned in the outset, uncertainty plays into every aspect of life yet often we don't identify or analyze it. For example, think of a time when someone asked you a question and after you responded they asked "are you sure?" You may have responded with "I think so". The "I think so" part of your response is directly related to the level of uncertainty you have with your response and the degree of which is directly related to the level of confidence you had to your response. In this case your confidence in your response is low due to a high uncertainty level. Had you said "absolutely", that would have indicated you have a high level of confidence presumably based on a low level of uncertainty. You might have also said something like "wait let me check something," at that point what you are doing is trying to eliminate some uncertainty in order to increase your confidence to your response.
Among other things, ASTM strives to lower uncertainty and increase confidence by authoring and maintaining standard test methods and practices that help increase the probability to predict a particular repeatable outcome. However, uncertainty is sort of a double headed monster with one head being Objective Uncertainty and the other Subjective Uncertainty. Today we will focus on Objective Uncertainty.
Objective Uncertainty allows you to make knowledge guided predictions but in requires a critical path to reach that point. Part of that path takes us through the ASTM documents and along the way there are procedures referenced to help reduce additional uncertainty. These procedures require tools and apparatus to aid access a particular condition by gathering quantitative data. This data is then evaluated as required to achieve the confidence level required in order to make a proper decision of the results i.e. 68.3% ("one sigma"), 95.4% ("two sigma"), or 99.7% ("three sigma") confidence intervals. These tools and apparatus are affected by uncertainty as well. The degree of uncertainty and confidence depends on both accuracy and precision of the instrument used. The lower the accuracy and precision of an instrument, the greater the measurement uncertainty and therefore a lower confidence level of the objective results.
During this workshop, we will look at three common activities and the devices used to collect data to reduce uncertaintyassociated with Color, Coating Thickness and Viscosity. Of the three, Color is the most recent to emerge from Subjective Uncertainty to Objective Uncertainty. With both Coating thickness and viscosity, the levels of uncertainty are dependent on several factors associated with the particular devices accuracy and precision. To that end we will have a closer examination of Color testing presented by Nick Barnes of Tintometer LTD. In addition to Nick's presentation, there will be a presentation on Coating Thickness Testing from John Fletcher of Elcometer Limited and a presentation on Viscosity from Cliff Schoff of Schoff Associates.
