This shotgun was professionally converted by our experts. It is made with American-made parts, including the pistol grip, buttstock, trigger group, Tri-Rail Forearm System, Vented Gas Tube Cover Handguard and an SGM Flash Supressor. IZSL-109B exhibits a more tactical design if compared with the standard IZ-109 Saiga 12. The combination of American parts used in this gun makes it fully 922R compliant.
Along with other Saiga rifles and shotguns IZ-109 was designed by the world-renown Russian engineer Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was the mastermind behind the creation of legendary AK-47. These shotguns are developed on the base of the Kalashnikov assault rifle. Therefore, Saiga -12 inherited the best qualities of the world's most popular firearm.
Saiga-12 is designed for high reliability in harsh environments. This Saiga shotgun is designed for professional and sport hunting and small and medium-sized game under various climactic conditions. The removable magazine allows for quick reloads in situations when it's required, like competitive shooting or crisis situations. Saiga-12 is therefore great for tactical and home defense. All Saiga 12 shotguns have a threaded barrel so you can add various chokes or muzzle brakes
The gun features: 19" smoothbore chrome-lined barrel and accepts shot, slugs and "magnum" shells (2-3/4" and 3"), black synthetic fore-end and buttstock, fixed bead sights, side plate optics mount, one 5 rd. mag.

If you didn't well not to worry, because these are now included as part of the lightroom 1.3 update and provide you with an extra set of gallery formats to compliment the standard Lightroom gallery styles.

With so many "art filters" built into cameras these days, and a host of image processing programs that offer special effects, some photographers no longer carry glass, screw-on filters in their kit. The ND and polarizer are two filters some still recommend. Do you work with any screw-on filters for your digital SLR?
Please briefly comment on your experience with polarizer and ND filters for your DSLR photography.
Yes, I still work with glass filters and always carry NDs and a polarizer.

While we all can agree that RAW format offers the potential for the best image quality, not everyone agrees about how to process the file.

Please comment briefly on your RAW file processing experience.
Stick with the manufacturer software.

Image stabilization is becoming a common feature in new lenses from OEM and "third-party" manufacturers. At times it seems the feature is added to lenses with fairly narrow maximum or variable apertures. While it brings costs down in lens making, do you feel it is a fair tradeoff?
Please comment briefly on your experience with image stabilized lenses.
Yes, if I can get steadier shots in a lens that is not too expensive it is worth it.
55% (63 votes)
No, I'd rather work with a "faster" lens, with or without image stabilization.

When working with Raw files there are numerous programs that will handle the conversion, from camera maker software to third party programs. How do you process your Raw images?

I use the camera maker supplied software.

Association fights for discount, even though deadline might render use of promotion moot
Nonprofits will be able to take advantage of an experimental postal rate discount, thanks to the efforts of the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers, Washington, though it might be too late.
The Postal Regulatory Commission last week approved the US Postal Service's special promotion to offer a 3% discount on Standard and First-Class mail letters and flats that include a two-dimensional barcode that can be read or scanned by a smartphone. The approval directs USPS "to make the discount available to nonprofit mailers that comport with all the other program requirements."
USPS ' original request for the promotion, back in early April, excluded nonprofits and gave no reason, according to ANM. At the request of the PRC chairman, the Postal Commission provided three justifications for the exclusion: 1) 2D barcodes have more potential for commercial mail, because it involves the sale of products, than for nonprofit mail; 2) more limited program would be quicker and simpler to implement; and 3) nonprofit Standard Mail rates are reduced already.
The Alliance argued that there is no proof that nonprofits are not interested in using 2D barcodes, and that barring nonprofits from the promotion is unlawful under current law.
As for the argument that nonprofit rates already are reduced, "that fact[s] were sufficient to justify discrimination, discrimination against nonprofits would always be lawful," the Alliance argued.
The PRC agreed. The promotion ends in August, and because nonprofits generally plan their mailing campaigns months in advance, the likelihood is most organizations might not be able to take advantage of the program. The Alliance said it sought a decision anyway to make clear that a precedent to exclude nonprofits is avoided "if the promotional program is extended or made permanent."
[a1]Should this be the Alliance? (unsure)

After reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1975 ballrooms and discos were closed by the government. Since 1990 they have reopened again but they are still monitored by the authorities to ensure no 'raunchy' dancing takes place such as salsa or the lambada as these are technically banned!
Outside the country's big cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh the chances of discovering nightclubs becomes a lot slimmer. But if you are in either of those cities you won't have too many problems finding some after dark hot spots. Pop music is extremely popular in the majority of Asia and this is what the big nightclubs play although in more recent years dance music has made its way into some of the clubs.
As in the whole of Asia, the bar scene in Vietnam is dominated by karaoke bars. Nearly every bar has a karaoke machine. If the thought of listening to middle-aged Vietnamese men singing their versions of "I Will Survive" isn't your cup of tea, the number of western-style bars is steadily increasing.
A trip backpacking around Vietnam is guaranteed to be an unforgettable one but visit during one of the country's festivals will make it that little bit more special. The biggest of all festivals is Tet Nguyen Dan (Festival of the First Day) which takes place any time between 19th January and 20th February.

It was a very pleasant stay. The room was clean and nicely furnished.The complimentary breakfast was good. At check in though the man at the front desk was not pleasant. A strange experience as most people in those positions bend over backwards to be nice! We felt nervous to ask him any extra questions. I guess he was having a bad day! Check out went smoothly with a really nice young man.

LSD 'helps alcoholics to give up drinking'
One dose of the hallucinogenic drug LSD could help alcoholics give up drinking, according to an analysis of studies performed in the 1960s.
A study, presented in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, looked at data from six trials and more than 500 patients.
It said there was a "significant beneficial effect" on alcohol abuse, which lasted several months after the drug was taken.
South Africa apologies to Nigeria over yellow fever row
South Africa has apologised for the deportation last week of 125 Nigerians over suspicions that their yellow fever certificates were fake.
The action quickly turned into a diplomatic spat – with Nigeria refusing South Africans entry and the foreign minister branding Pretoria xenophobic.
South Africa has rejected that claim – and promised new procedures to avoid a repeat of the "regrettable incident".
Religious TV host Pat Robertson wants pot legalised
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has expressed support for the legalisation of marijuana in the US, citing failure in the nation's war on drugs.
In an interview with the New York Times, Mr Robertson said the US should "treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol".
He says he has never smoked marijuana, but objects to the cost of imprisoning people for possession of the drug.
Measures to repeal marijuana laws are on the ballot in two states this year.
Alzheimer's patients 'should stay on drugs for longer'
Thousands of patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease could benefit from drugs, research suggests.
A study in the the New England Journal of Medicine found that patients who stayed on the dementia drug Aricept had a slower decline in their memory.
The drug tends not to be prescribed once sufferers progress beyond moderate symptoms.
Medicines regulator NICE said its guidelines supported continuing treatment where there were benefits.
Feds stop funding Texas women's health program over abortion dispute
AUSTIN, Texas — The federal government will withdraw funding for a Texas program providing more than 100,000 poor women with birth control and other health services because Planned Parenthood clinics are not allowed to participate, a U.S. Health and Human Services spokeswoman said on Friday.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the decision in Houston on Friday, prompting a furious response from Texas Governor Rick Perry, who called it an "egregious federal overreach."

Foods rich in antioxidants proven to reduce stroke risk levels in women
By Michelle Bosmier,
(NaturalNews) Health related to heart disease continues to be at the forefront of women's issues, and some studies reveal that prevention is a measure that is not necessarily guided by the pharmaceutical industry, but rather by what can be found in the fridge. An expansive Swedish survey that was coordinated among women at Karolinska Institute led to a conclusion that diets that are comprised with foods rich in antioxidants result in lower risk levels of stroke. Women who have been diagnosed with…
8 natural remedies to overcome erectile dysfunction and impotence
By JB Bardot,
(NaturalNews) The pharmaceutical industry thought they were on to something really big when they developed drugs like Viagra to overcome erectile dysfunction. However,the truth is that holistic healthcare practitioners like homeopaths, herbalists and acupuncturists have been successfully treating impotence in men with natural remedies for thousands of years. Conventional drugs carry a long list of unpleasant side effects whereas alternative approaches are often less likely to cause any — such as…
Aspartame danger – urgent warning about tumors and seizures
By Aurora Geib, March 9 2012
(NaturalNews) The laws governing the sale of drugs and food additives require substances be safe for human consumption. The artificial sweetener aspartame primarily consumed in beverages and as a popular sugar substitute has consistently been found to cause tumors and brain seizures in animal subjects. In 2005, a European Cancer Research Center, the Ramazzini Foundation, called for an urgent re-examination of aspartame in food and beverages to protect children. This call is made in the face of the…

Online Reservations
Excellent menu- Beautiful presentations - Great atmosphere - very authentic Northern Italian cuisine.
Great place. Menu very exotic and includes Italian delicacies like monkfish and clams over perfectly cooked and seasoned pasta, grilled frog legs with creamy polenta and the most delicious steak tartar I have ever had. Prices are fair for the great quality and uncommon selections, and the wine list is extensive and fun! Highly recommend - this neighborhood restaurant needs our support and deserves it for the great food!
This place has been our favourite Italian restaurant since we first visited it. Excellent food, very good selection of wines, great service and very nice atmosphere. There are always new choices on the menu so there is always something new to try and enjoy! Perfect way to spend an evening with your loved one and enjoy excellent food with a glass of good italian wine! Highly recommend this place!
Stand outs include the onion soup, the whole deboned chicken, the homemade pastas and the service
What a delight to find a restaurant of this caliber on the way home from work. It took us quite by surprise, and we couldn't be more pleased. Portion size was perfect, flavors were fabulous, staff was sensational, and price was well within reason. We loved everything we tried. Cant wait to go back!
Great meals for our group of four. Not your run of the mill Italian restaurant. Fresh pastas made with a Venetian accent. Nightly specials that rock. The owner is on the premises and his wife is the sommelier. Awesome find in the south bay.
Attention South Bay food fans - Hostaria Piave has arrived with a Venetian Italian menu and a great Italian wine list to soothe your palate when you have a hankering for a trip to the Veneto region without leaving the confines of our Beach Cities stomping ground. The pastas are freshly-made on the premises with both a primi or entree size. We had the sea scallops seared with fresh peas and mint as an appetizer and split a pasta with fruita de mare for a primi. Then on to a fabulous grilled bone-in veal chop. If you have room for dessert, you can order it too, but home-baked cookies, served compliments of the restaurant are delivered to your table when you ask for the check. Noise level was loud, but outside seating is available.
My girlfriend and I ate at Hostaria Piave on a Sunday which is a set menu day. Everything was tasty and pleasantly presented. We would like to go back on a different day of the week to try the full menu. I have a feeling that it would be equally as impressive.
We went to the Hostaria Piave's Sunday Prix Fixe last weekend. This was our 2nd trip to the restaurant. They did not disappoint. I will rarely order Salmon, as I am more of Lamp, Pork, Beef person. But I wanted to see how the restaurant wold do. I was delighted with the out come. Owner Angelo Calderan was very attentive and assisted my wife in selecting a wine that pair perfectly with the fish. Hint... The guy knows his wines - you'd be foolish not to take his advice. Even more so, if you've not yet tried this little gem... Well... That's being foolish. Just go, eat, and be happy.
This is a great spot for Venetian Italian style food, great wine list, etc. The hardwood floors, solid ceiling and walls can make the noise level climb quite high at times.
I can't recommend Hostaria Piave enough. The owner, Angelo, is friendly and knowledgable and his food is spectacular and authentic! The gnocchi is phenomenal and clearly homemade. Don't come here looking for Southern Italian food, though, because the menu is all refined Northern Italian/Venetian and doesn't have marinara sauce or lasagna anywhere on it. PLUS, the wine list is daunting and impressive. Every aspect of the meals served at this restaurant is perfect and I have yet to find even one item into which the chefs don't pour their hearts.
The pasta was so good! We were here for lunch and each of us ordered pasta and we were each delighted by our dishes. Many of the dishes on the menu looked good...so I'm planning to be back soon to try some other dishes.
My go to restaurant for the wonderful foods I grew up with. Great wines and appetizers for happy hour and wonderful pastas, salads seafood and meat dishes for heavier meals.
Love this restaurant, great food, owner treats you like your friend and the menu is inventive. Restaurants like this not common in the So. Bay.
The food is divine. You may become a regular. Gracious host. But they need to find a way to dampen the loud noise.
This is the best Italian restaurant in the South Bay. The food is representative of the Veneto, instead of Northern Italian or American red sauce. Every dish has been notable. Plates are smaller which lends to tasting many courses.
Superb Venetian food. Fantastic Italian wine list.
Fantastic seafood app, monkfish entree and gelato.
Very authentic regional food, with surprises on the menu.
This restaurant is a number 1 in my family. Having traveled to Italy several times, it is difficult to find an eatery that captures the Italian flare and authenticity of flavors. It captures the essence to its finest with a leisurely dining experience to really enjoy each course. If you are in for a quick bite, this is not the place. However, if you want to travel to Italy for a night, go here!
We celebrated our daughter's 25th birthday and it was the perfect place to celebrate. My daughter and her boy friend loved the place and nice atmosphere. The wine list is phenomenon and they will help you to find out your need. The waitress and water were friendly and help explain details of the menu. We went there Sunday dinner, so they only had a set menu which was very good. We didn't have to decide anything. Everything was already set and all the choices were great. Only thing my daughter missed was home cooked pasta which that what she wanted to try. If they had even little dish of freshly made past would be nice. We had a wonderful Sunday afternoon with good food and celebrating my daughter's birthday.
Unbelievably selection of specials! Really wonderful menu. Service is great as well. Owner greets everyone like a friend and repeat diner!
Hostaria Piave is always amazing! Food is fresh, service is 2nd to none and the atmosphere completes the perfect dining experience.
Went on a Sunday evening when they have a prix fixe menu. It was excellent. I guess that with an evening NFL game and the World Series, many people were at home. The restaurant was quite empty. The wait staff were timely and friendly. The owner came by several times. Each course was expertly prepared and delicious. The mostly Italian wine list has something for every palate and price range. I highly recommend Hostaria Piave for an outstanding Italian dining experience.
Found this restaurant on Open Table and was so pleased. The food and presentation are amazing and creative. Check it out.
Excellent Italian fare in the South Bay. Like being in Italy. Very friendly staff as well. Especially loved the wild Boar and daily specials.
Meals were very good. The restaurant is right off PCH, but based on it's construction, we never heard the traffic. We sat at an inside table. The three of us ordered based on what was recommended by the waiter and he was spot on. The lamb shank was delicious and both of the pasta meals were great. They had an extensive wine list and we enjoyed an Italian red, white and some 20 year old Churchill Port with dessert. Even though the restaurant was packed by the time we left, the service remained good as the wait staff (and perhaps the owners?) were very attentive to our needs. We'll be coming back.
My foodie friends in the neighborhood didn't know about this place, but it's excellent. Enough menu options to please everyone and all deliciously authentic-tasting Italian. Immense wine list, but our server helped us pick things out easily. Doesn't break the bank like certain hot spots in MB but the quality is nonetheless excellent. Also very very pleasing decor and ambience- contemporary, attractive, inviting.
This is not your "usual" SoCal Italian Restaurant - this is Italy, right here in Redondo Beach.
My wife and I have enjoyed Osteria Piave for several years. Each visit brings us new culinary surprise. This is especially true of the fixed-price Sunday suppers, which Angelo, the owner, changes weekly. One high point last Sunday was medallions of chicken wrapped in pancetta and served on a bed of braised cabbage. The combination of tastes was wonderful. Another favorite was the cheese plate--a blue cheese from Lombardy, as I recall, served with white polenta, which contrasted wonderfully with the rich, creamy, and pungent taste of the cheese. Enhancing any meal is the selection of wines that can be ordered by the quartino or mezzo. If you are interested in exploring the diversity of Italian cooking, try Hostaria Piave.

Winter Break
Winter break is right around the corner and I can't wait… O_o however I am not too sure whether I can call it a break or not because I will be graduating in about two weeks! Nonetheless, the Christmas season is by far my most favorite holiday of the year. I love coming home to the smell of a Christmas tree and playing Christmas songs all throughout the house. This is the first year in a very long time that I will not be celebrating Christmas at home but I will be in Maryland. I am super excited because I will be spending it with family members that I have not seen in a very long time. Hopefully we will get a white Christmas so that I can make a snowman…I mean help my little cousin make a snowman :D. After Christmas I will be moving to Atlanta and starting my internship. For me, winter break is the transition between two very important stages of my life.

James Emerson
Two attorneys appointed to represent convicted killer James Emerson say they can't do it because of a conflict of interest.
The 45-year old Emerson wants to appeal his conviction for the 1999 murder of Rhonda Mertes in Wausau. He was found guilty in February and sentenced to life without parole.
According to online court records, a judge ruled that Emerson is eligible for a public defender for the appeal earlier this week. However, two lawyers appointed since then say they cannot do it because of a conflict of interest. Another hearing on the matter is set for Thursday morning.
Emerson went through 5 attorneys before his trial. And the attorney who did end up representing him, Peter Thompson, tried to have himself removed from the case days before it started, saying he didn't feel safe dealing with Emerson. The judge denied the request.
Authorities say Emerson beat Rhonda Mertes to death in an abandoned area of Wausau. He was arrested years later after advancements in forensic technology linked his DNA to the scene.

46% of the CEO
Thomas Peterffy
I have been working at Interactive Brokers full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – - A few of efficient business processes, most well-automated
- A handful of worthy technologies to learn and think of.
- Fair-n-square business practices as far as I can say (not to confuse with "nice to clients")
- Acceptable pay; almost-guaranteed "raises" for raising cost of living
- Keep to the letter to their side of your contract (which does not include much good; but still)
- Free lunch that you usually eat at your desk (if you consider that a pro)
Cons – - Self-righteous and rigid high management; initiatives and comments are effectively discourages
- Antiquated and ineffective-to-stupidity software governance (do not confuse with 'inefficient').
- Non-existent work/life balance (total 16 days for vacation, personal and sick days; you are mostly treated and managed as a resource rather than human being)
- Not only are free information and idea exchange not promoted but in many ways strongly discouraged. As an example, you won't even have an Internet access at your desk unless your function needs it. As one of the results, the company is stagnating technologically.
- No training/learning programs I am aware of.
- People are discouraged from talking
Advice to Senior Management – Not that I think they would take any, but: consider formally training yourself in ethical people management (maybe try reading Stephen Covey's books?).
On a side note: I had to rank CEO "disapprove" for his failure to keep the management effective and adequate to the company''s scale. This is not at all intended to deny his technical and financial genius and ethical business practices that made this company possible. I would have selected "both approve and disapprove" if the Web side provided this choice. (I did not want to select "No opinion" because I certainly had one)
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Interactive Brokers full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – The money is pretty good. They pay programmers very well and they pay managers very well, but everyone else is paid just okay, but you get annual bonuses and stock options. There is little or no bureaucracy, and very few meetings. This place is not bogged down in process. The non-management people who work here are very nice. The business can be interesting. If you're lucky, you get to work on interesting projects. Medical insurance premiums are paid for 100%.
Cons – You work here for the money. That's the bottom line. They pay for lunch, but not because they're nice, it's so you stay at your desk during lunch. They pay for medical benefits, which are ultimately insufficient if you have a major medical issue. You get 15 days off per year for personal, sick and vacation time, then an extra two days at five years. And you are discouraged from taking too much time off. It is for many employees, a sweat shop. The structure of the company is based on silos: each department is competing with other for the CEO's attention and favor; that is the sole motivator behind all day-to-day decisions. Only management is allowed to create projects and come up with creative solutions, in spite of their lack of real experience and training in many areas, such as software project design, marketing, user interface design, and so on. There is no career growth, no annual reviews, no promotions.
If you want to come and make money and work a lot for a few years, this can be a decent place to be. But it will not be personally or professionally satisfying in any way, and you will get cynical and burn out fairly quickly.
The CEO has surrounded himself with a bunch of long-time associates, most of whom are all from Eastern Europe like himself and have all become millionaires. If you're not in that club, you are simply a lowly employee treated disrespectfully.
Advice to Senior Management – These guys are hopeless. It all flows from the CEO's benevolent dictator management style. Until and unless he changes his personality, it will continue on this path. They really need to bring in people from other companies and allow them to challenge the status quo. And give employees better work-life balance.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Interactive Brokers full-time
Pros – salary is very good
free lunch
nice people around
after 2 years, work is easy and not log working hours
Cons – No career growth at al. new comers are given minimal information to barely finish projects with a lot of struggle, You can learn more about the business/technology from outside than from your group members.
You will be pigeonholed to to the same thing for ever
Communication is awkward and frustrating
Management is so obsessed with cost cutting, there is not enough head count, so evey one is drowned in maintainance work.
Eastern European employee get better treatment than others
Advice to Senior Management – speechless
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Interactive Brokers
Pros – - Opportunity to trade in foreign financial market and learn about the market practically.
- Opportunity to learn technical analysis by applying it in real situation.
- Management gave ample opportunity to prepare for real trading by trading simulation
Cons – - Only two person in the firm have real trading experience.
- Do not have a knowledgeable and experienced supervisor for new traders.
- Failed to give a proper guideline to the new trader for example: what is expected to them after the end of a day or month.
Advice to Senior Management – - Should appoint a supervisor who have real trading experience.
- Should have more trading style in the firm to accommodate different people with different qualification. For example: A person who have proper training and motivation to trade by proper analysis should have the independence to trade coming out of the limitation of "day trading style"
I have been working at Interactive Brokers
Pros – Great salary and benefits recession proof .
Cons – No social life and team culture.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Interactive Brokers
Pros – Free Lunch & decent bonus
Cons – No work life Balance, Consistently understaffed and overworked. Pay is not for performance.
Advice to Senior Management – Work Life Balance ever heard of it?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Interactive Brokers
Pros – If you perform well, you will be promoted.
Nice offices
Colleagues are friendly
modern computer equipment
free lunch is provided
Cons – You can hear a pin drop. Employer does not want employees to chat with each other in the workplace because that means that they are not working.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the little guy. The smallest decisions take too long to be made because they have to be approved by top management.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Has Hue software been updated to schedule bulbs more than once?
As originally released, an on and off time, a color change, a dim or brighten would only work once per day and not repeat the next day. Specifically, there was absolutely NO scheduling other than once a day. Hue would have to be setup everyday.
Has this been updated? Can you schedule them to turn on and off more than once a day. Can you schedule them to do the same thing every day at the same time, continuously?
If so, does it work?- Asked by Art P from Kirkland

Diamond GrillThese acclaimed stories describe what it's like to be half-white, half-Asian in contemporary North America. The stories tell of family and identity, migration and integration, culture and self-discovery through family history, memory, glimpses of life and the occasional recipe. Diamond Grill is a rich banquet where Salisbury steak shares a menu with chicken fried rice and bird's nest soup sets the stage for Christmas plum pudding; where white prejudices against Chinese people and Chinese prejudices against white people simmer behind the shiny-clean surface of the cafe. |

ARTN - Australian Regional Tourism Network
Skip to menu or skip to content
The peak national body for regional tourism
Welcome Guest!
Did you know that around 46 cents in every dollar spent on tourism in Australia is spent in regional destinations? Tourism brings financial viability and cultural vibrancy to many of our regional communities and employs almost half a million Australians (more than mining, and more than agriculture, forestry and fishing combined).
The people and organisations tasked with fostering and sustaining tourism in regional Australia are talented, resourceful and inspirational. Their work is important and contribution significant. The ARTN is the peak national body that represents these regional tourism practitioners, and supports its members by providing opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing and advocacy to promote a successful and sustainable industry.

Because its "something else" than what tech normally does
PTPA has been my favorite so far too. I'm excited for So Dope tho
shits weak
Justin916 said it perfectly. This track does absolutely nothing for me.
Most people on here think that just because a Tech verse isn't choppy that it isn't quality. Get over that. Learn to respect innovation.
There are plenty of non-chopper songs that are much better than this thing. Red Nose is one of personal favorites. Leave Me Alone is another great one. The song as a whole is just lame.
