Are You STD Savvy?
A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that in 2011 there were more than 19 million new bacterial and viral sexually transmitted infections. And almost half of those infections were in young people ages 15-24.

Sep 13, 2014The least favourite of the Stronghold games in my opinion. The graphics did not improve to any great extent and the A.I is very harder that other A.L I have faced in the previous games but at least it is more challenging for your enjoyment. I am just upset that this feels more of a "patch" than an actually game due to the only changes of troop limit and A.L. Although skirmish is somewhat enjoyable if you do want to try it.… Expand
Other than the fact that you can wage 10,000-unit battles, don't expect much difference between Stronghold Crusader Extreme and the regular, nonextreme Stronghold Crusader.
This is such a strange package to review, because essentially it's a rerelease of a six-year old game with a smattering of new content that's designed for hardcore fans.
Not only is Stronghold Crusader Extreme dated in terms of graphics and sound, but the interface is also slow and cumbersome.

The Energy Industry's Production Challenge: 100 Million Barrels Per Day
In last week's note: 2013 Crude Oil Outlook: Supply & Demand, we looked at the more immediate trend in global supply and demand. But this week, I want to examine the long-term oil production challenge facing the industry.
Current global oil consumption is running just under 90 MM b/d, with wellhead production at about a little over 85 Mm b/d, or a deficit or about 4.7 Mm b/d. As we pointed out last week, overall global oil consumption since 2000 to 2012 has been running at a per annum rate of 1.2%; should global consumption continue to grow at this rate, we will hit roughly 100 MM b/d by 2022, or in ten years. If global oil consumption should slow to a per annum rate of 1.0%, we will hit 100 MM b/d only two years later by 2024.
Many people within the industry community believe that oil consumption at 100 MM b/d will occur and within roughly the 2022 to 2024 time frame, however, what many of the same observers note is that global oil production will be severely challenged to meet that level of consumption.
Reinforcing this view, is the reality that global oil production since 2000 has only grown at a 1.0% per annum rate, and is not believed capable of exceeding that level going forward. Indeed, should global oil production at the wellhead continue to grow at 1.0% per year, we would not hit 100 MM b/d of production until roughly 2029-2030, and sustaining that level will be the real challenge for the industry.
One can look at detailed oil production by country to arrive at this conclusion, or one can look at the Eight International Majors' (ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP, Royal Dutch/Shell, Total, ENI and Statoil) global oil production profile. What is unique about their combined production profile is that nearly each one of the Majors operates in roughly all of the major oil and gas basins around the world.
(Related: How Much Oil Does the World Produce?)
From 2004 to 2012 the Eight Majors have struggled to replace oil production on a proven reserve basis; over this time period, on average, for every 100 barrels of oil production they have replaced only 78 barrels with proven reserves.
The inability of the Majors to replenish production is not for want of effort. Indeed, each year they have increased capital spending to boost production.
With major oil basins around the world, like Alaska, North Sea, Mexico, Venezuela, and China, suffering a global decline rate on average of roughly 4%, the industry will be challenged to replace existing production and grow to meet future consumption levels heading toward 100 MM barrels per day.

Being a long time analyst of the energy industry it seems to me that you are "too close" to see the bigger picture. Since we are scraping the bottom of the barrel with hydro-fracking and tar sands oil with their poor EROEI we will never be able to supply projected demand. However, since we have upset the climate (burning your precious fossil fuels) it appears that we will soon start to see world populations decline and thus demand.
If you don't get that we simply must, if we are to survive, QUIT burning fossil fuels, you are missing the "big picture".

A program to bring in more truck traffic along one toll route has accomplished its goal of getting some traffic off Interstate 35 in Central Texas but is ending earlier than planned.
The Texas Department of Transportation has announced a discount program for trucks along Texas 130 that began on April 1 is ending Dec. 1, according to the Austin American-Statesman newspaper, due to lost revenue. The program was orginally set to last for one-year.
For a five-axle truck driving the entire 89 miles of Texas 130 from north of Georgetown to Seguin, the program decreased what had been a $56.64 toll to $13.24, the same as four-wheels, resulting in transactions involving trucks on the northern 49 miles increasing by 44% over the past seven months. However, due to an unexpectedly high number of trucks using Texas 130, $11 million set aside by Texas DOT to absorb the difference between the regular truck tolls and the lower amounts charged now will be depleted by early 2014.

November & December 2014
Oxbow Inc. Field Trip & Events
Sunday, November 23, 2014, 8:00 a.m.
Where: Meet at 8:00 a.m. in the upper Oxbow parking lot at the main entrance to the Oxbow.
Leader: Joe Bens, (513) 353-4229, firstname.lastname@example.com
Some people may think of November as a cold and dreary month but I would disagree. I think late autumn is a beautiful time of the year and the subtle hues of the landscape interspersed with brilliant fall colors offer up a stark beauty. It will be against this backdrop that our trip leader Joe Bens will lead this morning visit to the Oxbow. Joe is an exceptional naturalist and expert birder and will surely find a diverse number of seasonal birds. When birders and naturalists think of the Oxbow during November the first thing that usually comes to mind is waterfowl. The peak of fall waterfowl migration occurs in our region during November and the Oxbow offers a great refuge for them.

Taurus to Glock ? Um, Yugo to Corvette would be the similar comparison there.
This is a discussion on Glock Questions within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Taurus to Glock ? Um, Yugo to Corvette would be the similar comparison there....
Taurus to Glock ? Um, Yugo to Corvette would be the similar comparison there.
It doesn't matter how many well-written opinions accurately express the views of either side of the GLOCK queston. I have a Gun Shop owner/friend who hates them so deeply that he won't buy or trade for one. That's his choice & he's not the only guy who feels that way.
But they have a documented record of remarkable reliability & durability, with a worldwide following of serious shooters who view them as the benchmark by which all defensive pistols are currently measured. A new, innovative design in an already crowded market doen't make an impact like GLOCK has...unless at least some of its features are unique & desirable.
Go rent a GLOCK & bring along with some quality ammo. Then try to make it quit. Do everything you know to do in an effort to make it malfunction. I think you'll find, as I have, that (regardless of the opinions of others) you'll eventually decide you didn't bring enough ammo. GLOCKS ROCK.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Did we not discuss some of this here?:
So you are certain now the Glock is what you're going for? In my opinion, you hear more about the G30 as compared to the G36 because of the magazine capacity. For some of the same reasons some shy away from Glocks are the lack of some form of external safety device for which they feel a need. Glock has safety devices just like any other pistol. Fact is----the last safety is the one with the pistol. Some folks just don't feel that confident. So---same reasons for choosing the pistol with higher capacity over one with minimal capacity--even if the latter is better concealed. Personally, I'd like to get a G36, but in my case the G19 came first. I don't really miss my G30 because it just wasn't right for me in the fit. After trading the 10+1 capacity in the smaller 45 package, I opted for a full size SIG in 45acp with 8+1 capacity. This pistol just works better for me than the former Glock.
Glocks have a proven track record. There is a reason that so many law enforcement agencies dictate Glocks as the deptartment weapon. Their failure rates are low. There could be a better looking gun out there - but none can beat the reliability of a Glock.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
I don't know that I can add anything illuminating here, but I have three and offer the following:
- I knew nothing about handguns and wanted a flatter learning curve;
- I wanted the same manual of arms for all of my handguns;
- I wanted as few moving parts as possible;
- I wanted proven reliability;
- I am not a "tinkerer";
- I wanted it as a tool that always performed without undue "messin' around with";
- I didn't care if it was steel, poly, aluminum, or paper mache if it met my criteria; and
- I don't care if its ugly or cute
Other than that, they're kind of like driving a 12 year old chevy

Ok not adding a lot here-
I hate glocks. Always have. Oh, I carry one every waking moment... but sure dont like it. It's been 100% reliable with everything I've thrown at it, super simple, but what good is that ? It's just ugly and soulless.
Showing up at the range with a glock is so - boring. Everyone has one. Blah! I'd much rather show off my P239, 1911 in .38, or even a slab side Mk2.
But geez that glock gets the job done every day, functions well, very inexpensive mags, parts available everywhere if you need them, and a common platform to boot.
The action is mechanically as simple as possible and elegantly so. Passive safeties do render the gun safe (yet remeber your rules). Excellent design really makes for interchangeability.
Yup I do hate the glocks. Run like clockwork though :)
They're ugly as a hillbilly smile, but incredibly tough and reliable. If asthetics mean nothing to you and you're just looking for a tool to save your life then they're hard to beat.

when I first started daily carry I wanted and bought a stainless pistol because it looked cool.After a while I changed my thinking to not care how cool it looked because no one should see it if im responsible with it. At that point I looked for something I could count on that was small in size large in caliber, accurate, durable,easy to get parts and holsters for and interchangeable mags.The glock 27 was my choice and when I went to look at one it was the ugliest gun ive ever held.I laughed about how it was like carring a brick.Then I shot one and it felt good and It hit where it was supposed to.I bought it and love it.Because its ugly and a daily carry I dont care what it looks like or if it gets wear marks or scratched its a tool not one of my "good guns" its perfect for what it was purchased to do.Thats to get me home to my wife and kids everyday and it hasnt failed me yet.
Well the only thing I can add to this is for 20 years as a LEO I carried a Glock for my primary weapon and my back up was a Glock...........they have never failed me.

buy the glock...you won't regret it (though personally, I'd go with a 19 instead of a 30, 30sf, or 36).
As far as looks go...are they ugly? yes, but who cares.
AFAIC, looks should not be a consideration when choosing a fighting gun. If you want something pretty to play with at the range, by all means buy something pretty.
If you want a reliable, accurate tool, buy a Glock.

I can't seem to get my Glock 19 to jam at all. I've limp wristed it, I've shot the cheapest ammo I could find, it just keeps working. When you want a semi-auto that you can trust your life on, Glock is one you should consider. I think the proof is on the hips of law enforcement and security personnel. They may not be the prettiest of guns, but they certainly do work, and are very accurate.

I am the God fearing, gun toting, flag waving conservative you were warned about!
I posted this on GLOCKTALK a year or so ago... took some digging for me to find, but my opinion on the Glock relative to an HK...
When Gaston designed the Glock, he had two major design constraints.
1) The gun had to be RELIABLE,
-go bang every time,
-perform with little maintenance as seen in battle / fighting conditions..
2) The gun had to be inexpensive to build /
-CHEAP to manufacture
-Easy to produce.
#2 is the humdinger here. Plastic is prevelant in the Glock, nowhere else in the industry is so much plastic used and used so well (yes this "USED WELL" kicks most of the contenders out of the competition ). Glock did the homework to understand limitations on plastic and where it could be used. Lets look closer at the Glock, often times refered to as a block... It is a block, note the minimal machining on the slide. everything is prettymuch square...Why? Not because Glock did not want an asthetically pleasing gun, no... that machining cost time and money...a piece of barstock is square, the slide is thus pretty much square. Look at the striker channel, lined with a plastic sleeve... Why???? Corrosion is often sighted, but think about machining again... it is a bearing surface. You can maintain tooling, cut and polish -> spend time and money, or you can line it with a plastic sleeve that cost less than $0.005 in materials and move on. Sights, why plastic.... COST AGAIN... Everywhere plastic could be used it was... why, molding is cheaper than machining, stamping, diecasting, etc... Plastic Molding tolerences are easily maintained, materials are readily available, molding tools are cheap, easy to maintain, and last millions of shots. (kind of like the Glock)
If you do a cost estimation on materials in a Glock, you come in somewhere south of $60... Once the Glock was in production it rapidly became a success due to low cost to purchase and maintain. Replacement parts are CHEAP, and reliable, do not need custom fitting (tolerences again) and can be installed by a 2nd grader (do not take this literally - just trying to make a point). Now Gaston has no incentive to offer better materials, afterall he is making BIG $$$ and remember he did his homework, he knows that his plastic parts will work if made to spec.
I have read many people on GT bash HK due to the cost. Lets compare the two (Glock and HK) and look for cost drivers... The HK slide is contoured, stepped and beveled... LOTS OF MACHINING. Metal Parts abound... COST DRIVER... Fit and Finish is a bit better....COST DRIVER.... Volume sales is lower ... COST DRIVER (low volume production tooling increases purchase price).... etc.. etc... Lets look at just one item: Steel sights vs Plastic sights. The plastic in the Glock sights is maybe $0.13, standard molding practices would mold 50-80 pieces in around 20 seconds. Only finish operation is a pad printing operation that can be done for next to nothing...In contrast the HK sights are steel; require Machining ($$$), Finishing ($$$) and fitting ($$$)
Back to #1 --> Reliability
This is the wonder of Glock.... I often encourage Engineering students to tear down a Glock when discussing Design for assembly, Design for manufacture, and reliability engineering. Glock did some homework on the materials selection, using LOW COST materials where he could, and only using steel and high cost machining where it was absolutely necessary... face it the design is not complex, the materials selection, integration and implementation is!
So the real question is, was Gaston being too CHEAP? Maybe, Maybe not... many people swear that the plastic parts are ok, that original equipment is best.... Unfortunatly in molding plastic parts, variances do occur in tooling, materials, processing, etc and sometimes things happen... and since all things roll down hill, it is usually caught by the consumer...US! Personally, I have a SS Guiderod in mine. I have also cleaned up all the stampings as the tools are obviously worn and creating less than perfect parts today (note Gastons design allows these to work fine as they come). I also replaced the plastic sights with some Heinies and the otherwise stock gun is performing flawlessly...
Just my $0.05 worth... got a little long winded, but you get the point... Glock is a fine pistol, the fact that many of us like the black block is just our own sickness! (GRIN)
If your not packin' your slackin'
Its better to have and not need than to need and not have, keep it safe but keep it loaded!

I'm making a rather heavy batch this time around, using a high gravity yeast, to try and get it as close to shine as possible, while still being legal (I was bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time).
Well, I was using a triple-clad pot, which heats quickly and cools slowly. I won't tell you how hot my grain got, but it wasn't good. Smelled great, but we'll see.
Batch was:
-7# of extra dark DME
-2 oz cascade
-1 vial of White Labs High Gravity Ale Yeast (probably insufficient, but I already screwed up, so I won't waste more money on it)
-grain mix (1# 80 C, 1/2 roasted malt, 1/4 dark malt)
Hopefully it will be palatable.
And now onto the question. I apologize for asking the same thing you're all sick of hearing, but I want to go over to all-grain. Can anyone offer me help in layman's terms? I've tried looking at the sites listed, and I just get confused by all the jargon. The local shop owner seems to want to keep me on malt extract (course he marks up 100%), so he wasn't much help.
Thanks all.
P.S. If I can still see after swilling down this FUBAR concoction, I'll let you know how it turned out.
First things first, if you were making a 5 gllon batch, your gravity should give you a beer somewhere around 7.5%, not that high, or at least not enough to require the high gravity yeast. The one vial might be enough, depending on how well you areated the wort. A starter would have been better though. Also, assuming you didn't boil the grain, you should be fine in that department. You should end up with some kind of porter or stout.
Now the big question. All grain brewing just requires more equipment and time. It is not necessarily more difficult. The all grain process is just the way to get the sugars out of the grain. Malt is soaked in hot water so that natural enzymes break down starches into fermentable sugars. This is the mashing process. A simple ale could be 154 degrees for 1 hour. Then you have to seperate the grain from the sweet liquid. This is called lautering. Usually more hot water is run through the grain to get even more sugars out. This is called sparging. The liquid is collected in a pot and boiled just like you would for extract brewing.
All of these extra steps require equipment that you can make yourself if you feel handy around the house, and it is definately cheaper that buying all of it. If you haven't already, read about all-grain brewing at www.howtobrew.com to get a better idea of the process. There are even plans in there for the equipment. I would follow the advice of your local homebrew supply. Definately get a good handle on extract brewing before making the jump to all-grain.
Yeah here is what Brewsmith said in a nutshell:

Utah was the 45th state admitted to the union, on January 4, 1896. Approximately 88% of Utah's 2,500,000 people, known as "Utahns," live in an urban concentration with Salt Lake City as the center, known as the Wasatch Front. In contrast, vast expanses of the state are nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. The name "Utah" is derived from the Ute Indian language, meaning "people of the mountains". Utah is known for its geological diversity ranging from snowcapped mountains to well-watered river valleys to rugged, stony deserts. Meanwhile, Utah is also known for being one of the most religiously homogeneous states in the Union, with approximately 62% of its inhabitants claiming membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which greatly influences Utahn culture and daily life.

Beyonce Planning New Album(s), Blue Ivy Songsby Free Britney at . Comments
Beyonce's only job right now is mom to one-month-old baby girl Blue Ivy Carter, but she's already plotting a return to the recording studio sometime soon.
She's got plenty of new inspirational material, after all.
Snger/songwriter Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, who has helped produce big time hits with Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Beyonce herself ("Halo"), says he's working with B again, and has already sent the superstar songs about motherhood.
"The conversations about her next album literally just started and there [are] two projects happening," Ryan explained. "All I can say is you kind of feed her the best that you have; Beyonce's this phenomenal filter and she takes it all in."
He declined to specify what the star's second project will be, on top of the new album, although a release of remixes for her album 4 has been rumored.
For the time being, however, Jay-Z and his wife are "enjoying the time off" at their Scarsdale, N.Y., mansion and $6.85 million TriBeCa loft. Says Tedder:
"She has been totally doting on Blue ... She's up whenever the baby's up!"
Aww. If you haven't seen them, check out the first Blue Ivy Carter photos!

how do people generally go about this lane? I always seem to have trouble dealing with the amount of harass she has and end up just getting zoned forever. She's not like most top lane casters where you can just trade by hitting and running. If I land my Q on her and try to Q and W to a creep, she just locks me down with her bind and rapes me when I try that combo. If I let the lane progress for too long, she can literally 100% to 0 me from under my tower because of her stupid web ability that makes her untargetable allowing her to continually swap aggro.
I try starting boots 4pots since elise's main damage is magic and I'm trying to be safe against enemy jungler ganks, but it doesn't seem to cut it in terms of survivability. Didn't think cloth 5pots would be any help, since you gain 150 extra hp at the cost of extra mobility.
I honestly think the only way to hold out this lane is to max W and ask for a lot of ganks top. Even then, in my experience, it's hard to get your jungler to land a good gank on her because of her abilities giving her a lot of get out of jail free cards.
I always personally believed lee had a way to turn any matchup into a skill matchup, but I just can't figure out how you can get by elise's advantages. Any ideas?
Baron Ogre
Elise is Queen of laning, she's very hard to deal with as a melee hero. Max shield, wait for ganks.
Elise is anti-pretty much every conventional top.
Your best hope is to see her, and play something unconventional. I know it blasphemes the meta, but I believe that's why Riot made such an anti-bruiser.
bawwww. Really not the answer I was hoping for. I used to love being able to first pick lee sin top every game and not be afraid of anything the opposing team would pick because there was always a chance for me to crush lane. Guess I still have the jungle
