Constant VS fire
In order to do this trick you must have a VS with two empty arms as well as two Gatlin guns. Attach both guns to each side of the VS and fire only one of the guns a few times. Then, start firing the second gun. If done correctly, one of the guns will reload while the other is firing and repeat, causing the guns to never stop firing until you run out of bullets or manually reload. This works well against any Akrid Boss, especially the one in Mission 05.

Listen, life is short. Going around being annoyed with people and not speaking is so ridiculous. I was with Terry and the kids the other night at the circus. We were having an amazing time at the pre-show. As we were walking out I saw Alexis and Jim with their kids. My stomach turned. Completely awkward, and honestly, not a way I'd like to go through life.
If you saw the after show of WWHL last week when I was on I answered a lot of questions about what has transpired between me and Alexis.
(Check out more clips here.)
The part that struck me the most was that at the reunion when during lunch, I came in to offer her some Champs and we spoke. Then, when we were done (many, many grueling hours later) we spoke again. We had this great talk. Alexis then texted me an apology for her part in our troubles, and I texted her back something equally apologetic for the way things had gone down in Costa Rica. I was very hopeful that we could have another start. A few days later she made some nasty remarks about me and my restaurant and hinted that there were other things she had held back at the reunion.

Del Mar doctor publishes sports thriller involving the use of DNA doping
By Kathy Day
Former Del Mar Mayor Harvey Shapiro has found a new way to feed his workaholic personality — writing a book.
The 71-year-old, who served as a council member from 1980-84 and mayor for one of those years, recently published "Morphed." He calls it a "sports thriller," revolving around the use of DNA doping in sport and the use of human performance enhancement technologies in daily living.
He uses his own experiences — as a physician, a cyclist, a former medical correspondent for NBCSanDiego and a volunteer doping control officer for the 2002 Winter Olympics — to craft the fictional account that asks "How far are athletes or individuals willing to go to win, even to the point of altering their own DNA?"
Eric Heiden, the Olympic gold medalist who is now an orthopedic surgeon, writes in the liner notes that "DNA manipulation — a likely next step in performance enhancement — amps up the health issues for all of us. It pits parents against their kids who emulate their idol athletes and tempts us with prospects of its fountain of youth effects. Shapiro opens the doors on the locker room's inner sanctum where sports intermingle with big business and science."
Shapiro's book goes to places that sound familiar from recent sports news — athletes using steroids, an anti-doping doctor, the Tour de France and a "muscle-altering DNA substance that will not only pass through the anti-doping system but can also reduce the effects of aging."
One of his characters — and there are many "real characters," he says — is an aging cyclist who is breaking Lance Armstrong's records.
Shapiro, who timed the release of his self-published work to coincide with the Summer Olympics in London, says he came up with the concept for the story after volunteering as a doping control officer at the Olympics.
He lives half of the year — summers and winters — in Park City, Utah, which is where he was when a nurse encouraged him to join the anti-doping effort.
"I spent two years training (for the volunteer assignment), sneaking up on people and saying 'Aha,' it's time for your test," he said. As a physician, he ran a testing station where athletes had to report at the end of their events.
"I started thinking, if somebody wanted to cheat, how would they do it," he added. "They could try to corrupt me, but that wouldn't work."
As the ideas ran through his head, he started researching substance abuse in elite sports.
In 2004, Shapiro was the California Society of Anesthesiologists' Forrest M. Leffingwell Memorial lecturer and delivered a talk on just that subject.
In introducing him, the editor of the association's bulletin called him "one of the most prominent patriarchs of neuroanesthesia." He also noted that he had "ventured well outside its boundaries to lend his creative intellect to more distant and, often, surprisingly adventuresome areas."
In that lecture, Shaprio said, "I don't believe that most sport fans are upset enough (about doping) to respond by turning off their TV sets or staying away from the professional stadiums and arenas. Until they do so, fans are simply fanning the fire and doping is here to stay."

Category: Scams
The smooth-talking voice on the other end of the line claims to need some information to "confirm" your existing phone book listing. Fast forward a few weeks and your mailbox is jammed with "invoices" threatening legal action if you don't pay up. Chances are you've been hit by a business directory scam.The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) have seen an increase in this form of fraud. Small and medium-sized businesses, churches, and not-for-profit groups have been hardest hit. Many will pay the bogus invoices in the mistaken belief that it's simply a misunderstanding. But it's not. It's a growing form of fraud run by international scam artists. The FTC and the BBB are asking businesses to: 1) educate employees about the scam; 2) set up systems to weed out bogus bills, 3) use free BBB resources to check out questionable companies; and 4) report the scams so that law enforcers can stay ahead of the curve.
How the Scam Works
The Call. First, con artists make cold calls to offices. They ask the person answering the phone to "confirm" the address, telephone number, and other information, claiming it's for a listing the company has in the yellow pages or a similar business directory. The scammers then fire off a rapid series of questions they may tape-record, sometimes sliding in a confusing reference to the cost. The scam works because fraudsters convince the person who picks up the phone that they're just "verifying" an arrangement the company already has with the directory.
The Bill. The con artist then sends urgent "invoices" for $500 or more — sometimes including a copy of the "directory." They're usually worthless and are never distributed or promoted as promised. Often, they're just websites with listings of various businesses. In many cases, the person paying the bills will simply cut a check, not realizing that the company never agreed to pay the hefty fee for the directory. But if businesses resist, the scammers turn up the heat, threatening collection or legal action to get payment. They may use the name of the person who answered the phone or play a "verification tape" as "proof" that the company owes them money. Often these tapes have been doctored or the nature of the transaction was rattled off in a way no one could have understood. If companies stand firm in their refusal to pay for services they didn't authorize, the scammer may try to smooth things over by offering a phony discount. Or they may let the company return the directory — at the company's own cost, of course — but insist on payment for the so-called listing. At this stage, many companies pay up just to stop the hounding. What they don't know is that they'll likely get more bogus invoices — either from the same scam artist or from others who have bought their contact information for a new scheme.
How can I protect my business?
Take the following four steps to protect your company from business directory fraud.
Train your staff to spot this scam.
Educate your employees about how this scam works. In addition to your regular receptionist, talk to everyone who may pick up the phone. Put a copy of this alert in employee mailboxes. Mention it in a staff meeting. Post it on the break room bulletin board or where employees clock in and out.
Inspect your invoices.
Depending on the size and nature of your business, consider implementing a purchase order system to make sure you're paying only legitimate expenses. At a minimum, designate a small group of employees with authority to approve purchases and pay the bills. Train your team to send all inquiries to them. Compile a list of the companies you typically use for directory services, office supplies, and other recurring expenses. Encourage the people who pay the bills to develop a "show me" attitude when it comes to unexpected invoices from companies they're not familiar with. Don't pay for products or services you're not sure you ordered.
Verify to clarify.
Many business directory scam artists are headquartered in Canada, but use post office boxes or mail drops to make it look like they are in the United States. Before paying, check them out for free at bbb.org, and read the BBB's report on them.
File a complaint.
If a scammer is sending you bogus bills, speak up. Visit bbb.org to complain to the BBB. And let the FTC know by filing a complaint at ftc.gov or calling 877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). Your complaints help shape the FTC's law enforcement agenda, so it's important to sound off when you spot a scam. Concerned about business directory fraudsters' threats to tarnish your credit if you don't pay? Many will simply drop the matter — and may even provide a refund — if they know you've complained to the BBB and law enforcement.

If I have not paid this bill to the Yellow pages scam what should I do, can I get a bad debit due to this false invoice?
BBB's Answer:BBB has no records of the business in the country, nor have we heard of any businesses receiving calls from debt collectors regarding Open Business Directory. File a complaint with BBB and then also Let the FTC know by filing a complaint at ftc.gov or calling 877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

Hi, we unfortunately signed the agreement and they have been chasing us for payment with threats for about 9 months. We've asked you about them and your comments have been to simply ignore them. They are using the "threat" of ruining our credit. They want a smaller sum to close this out, we want to know if anyone has actually been sent to collections, etc... Our understanding is they have not from notes above. Thanks, Curt ps-our attorney general suggested we seek a lawyer and they say since our attorney general said this, we must still pay
Comment Submitted 10/1/2013
HI, We are in a similar situation where an employee actually did sign the contract believing they were just verifying our address for the real Yellow Pages. They have been trying to collect for about 10 months now and have sent a "final" offer to settle for a lesser amount ($594.00). They threaten to send it to collection if we do not send payment in within 7 days. Has anyone been sent to collection yet?
Comment Submitted 4/9/2014
It has resurfaced. I am getting phone calls and faxes demanding payment. I thought I was renewing my YP listing. I have received 5faxes and just today a threatening phone call demanding a payment.I work for a small business in central California (not mine) and I am getting scared these people will knock on the front door. Will me credit be affected?
Comment Submitted 5/16/2014
Getting invoices via fax again. I want to make this stop. Seems as soon as you send a stop this notification they send more! Threatening to send to collections & file claim with the IRS now!
Comment Submitted 6/21/2014
This company has been sending fax and phone calls. I signature on the paper is not mine. I am a small business and did not order this company. But they are harassing my business and my credit. I want them to stop.
Comment Submitted 7/31/2014
The owner of the company I work for is not very tech savvy. He signed the contract and always pays his bills. Unfortunately he paid this bill Aug. 23, 2013. I was looking through old bills and found this bill after stopping many other scams of this nature. Is there a way to get a refund from this company? If so, what do I need to do?
Comment Submitted 11/20/2014
I have received a bill from **** ******** ********* *** for $1213. We have not used this company. I am unsure of how to file a complaint as the mailing address is not in the USA, it is in Switzerland. I would like help with this complaint.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Jam, write, Play and Record at West End Cultural Centre
Kids have the chance to become recording artists in just five days.
The West End Cultural Centre is putting on its first Play and Record program, a five-day music camp (July 29 to Aug. 2) in which about 15 kids will write, play, and record their own music.
The Winnipeg Foundation provided the WECC with a grant of $10,000 for this program, so instrument rentals, snacks, and lunches are free of charge for participants.
Divided up into three bands, these participants will learn from two artistic coaches, David Guillas of Propagandhi fame and Winnipeg-based performer Lindsey White.
Community outreach and volunteer co-ordinator Jessica Dressler said this specific program is mainly targeted at youth with a musical background.
"It's in such a compressed time — we're going to be writing and recording songs, so it wouldn't be the greatest for somebody who has no experience," Dressler said.
Five days doesn't seem like a lot of time to put together a whole song, but Guillas advises participants to simply relax.
"I think the tip would be to not censor yourself too soon," Guillas said.
"That's the biggest roadblock for a lot of people, not just with music but with any type of creativity: to immediately think their work isn't good. But I would like the kids to be brave and just try it."
Guillas said the kids are there to learn, not to create a masterpiece.
"A big goal of the program is to demystify the process of being in a band and writing a song," Guillas said. "We'll just keep it real simple and show the kids you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You can write something simple and make it powerful."
Dressler said the first three days will consist of everyone getting to know each other, playing music, and forming their bands. Judging by the registration forms so far, Dressler can see the bands naturally forming based on the kids' musical experience and interests.
"Some of them like pop, some of them like heavier stuff. It's going to be interesting to see what those creative minds will come up with in a few days," Dressler said.
The participants are expected to spend the last two days of the program recording their songs.
If there isn't enough time to squeeze everyone in, Dressler said there's the possibility of running the program one more day.

The Swapmeet Ensemble - GET MAD!
Artist: The Swapmeet Ensemble
Featuring: Kahali Oden
Producer: DJ Shag
Album: One Man's Trash...
Avg Rating: 4.5 ( 20 votes )
It's been said many times before, but today it's as true as it's ever been: if you're not mad about what's been going on in Washington (and the harm said political machinations will undoubtedly cause in your neighborhood), then you haven't been paying attention. Luckily for those who fall into that category, The Swapmeet Ensemble have stepped into the Booth with a little something to help you GET MAD! Making its world premiere on our frontpage, this mixtape inclusion finds Oakland natives Silence DemALL and Poach Stevers doing their best Howard Beale impressions, in hopes of arousing the passions of disenfranchised 'hood-dwellers across the nation. Over DJ Shug's brass-infused beat (featuring a bassline borrowed from Hendrix classic Hey Joe—anyone know whose rendition?), the crew rail against the devastation caused by police corruption, gentrification and general disregard for the urban poor. Capped off with a fiery guest 16 from reader fave (and freestyle alum) Mean Doe Green, this is but one of a diverse array of eclectic jams on The Swapmeet Ensemble's Booth-sponsored One Man's Trash… LP, scheduled to hit our mixtape page October 10.

Our favorite bedtime stories for babies
Member comments
a BabyCenter Member says
My name is Camille bruno Valdez my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; firstname.lastname@example.com , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will either conceive in February 2014 or March 2014,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Dr Dahiru, Because his pregnancy spell cast put us at ease, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: firstname.lastname@example.com if you are trying to get a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine,
JillyTX says
I absolutely loved The Sleep Book by Dr. Seuss when I was little, and I plan to read it to my baby girl often as well. Like all his books the rhymes are fun and playful, and the illustrations are fantastic!
Gabby Andrade says
My little one is a bog fan of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" h loves the big pictures and the bright colors
kdhodapp says
Before I Go To Sleep and I'll See You in the Morning are my 11 month old's favorite good night books. I'm not sure about the authors though. He has to have story time every night which includes about five different books, most of them read more than once.
a BabyCenter Member says
I like to read Uncle Remus. My little guy loves it when I do all the funny voices.
a BabyCenter Member says
Some of our bedtime faves that haven't been listed are:
Good Night, Harry by Kim Lewis
Sleepy Bears by Mem Fox

The Jesus Story Book Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones is one of our favorites.
MrsVanaman says
How could they leave off "Guess How Much I Love You?" from this list? I read this book every night to my twins, and kiss them goodnight when Big Nutbrown Hare kisses Little Nutbrown Hare. By the time we get to the end of the book, I whisper the last page.
bktrek says
The BEST stories to read to your baby are the same ones you grew up with and still treasure. Your voice will reflect your fondness of the stories as you share them with your baby. Andred and I end each night with a Golden Book classic story from a collection that's yellowed from wear and age. I wouldn't skip story time for anything!
a BabyCenter Member says
We love "time for bed." it's repetitive, and a good wind-down book.
ADNewirk says
I love reading (more like reciting @ this point-lol) It's Time to Sleep My Love, and my 11 month old really seems to be enjoying it.
Krugling says
The absolute best bedtime book is Sandra Boynton's "Good Night Little Pookie." This rhyming book goes through the bedtime routine in a cute way (without being *too* cute). It also ends with a lovely poem that sometimes makes me emotional. :)
As for when to start, we began the first night he was home from the hospital. He's almost six months old, and he shows tremendous interest in anything that has words on it. I attribute that to early reading. Early childhood development experts recommend reading 1000 books to your child before kindergarten. Might as well start early!

"I love you Goodnight" is a great quick read to add into a routine! We started reading "little blue truck" when my son was 3 months old, we still do it every night and he's almost one now. He loves to look at the illustrations.

At what age do you start to read to your baby to put them to sleep?

I second Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney. I also love Meet Me at the Moon By Gianna Marino.

S&P: Never Down Between March 18th & April 4th During Bull Run 0 commentsMar 19, 2013 8:51 PM | about stocks: SPY
I like to keep this chart handy because it shows seasonality for the bull market that started in 2009. It's helpful because it shows common turning points and seasonal trends. The x-axis is the trading day of the year and the y-axis is the percent gain for the S&P 500.
One useful observation that is pertinent to the current time of year is that the market has never been down once if you bought on March options expiration and sold a few days into April. After that, things get a lot more choppy into the summer months, although I have reason to believe things won't be so bad this summer for stocks. There is still a lot of negativity about the market.Stocks: SPYBack To Jeffrey Robinson's Instablog HomePage »

The obstacles standing in the way of the World Trade Center project remain, but New York Gov. David Paterson expressed cautious optimism that an impasse between the Port Authority and developer Larry Silverstein could be resolved. "I think all sides have put real and tangible offers on the table," Paterson told the Lower Manhattan business group. "So how do you describe that? Cautiously optimistic? That's where I'd say we are." Meanwhile, Silverstein and partner the California State Teachers Retirement System could default on a $325 million loan on one of his existing office buildings in midtown Manhattan.

A spokesperson for ex-Murder Inc. rapper Ja Rule has stepped forward to confirm his release from a New York correctional facility this week and revealed what the hip-hop artist has in store.
According to spokesperson Melanie A. Bonvicino, Rule will use his first taste of freedom with family and penning a memoir.
UPDATE: 1:59 AM PT — Ja's spokesperson, Melanie A. Bonvicino, tells TMZ … "My client Jeffrey Atkins (aka Ja Rule) was released this morning from the Raybrook Correctional Facility in Upstate New York to serve out his federal time obligation due under the terms set forth in accordance with home confinement which were secured by his attorney Stacy Richman." "At present, he looks forward to spending some time with his family while he completes his memoir." (TMZ)
Tuesday reports claimed Rule's wife came through to pick him up after serving time on a gun conviction.
Federal authorities say platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule has left federal prison. The Federal Bureau of Prisons says he left a correctional facility in New York's Adirondacks on Tuesday, though time remains on his sentence. The bureau says the release date for the 36-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, technically remains July 28, with possible community-based supervision for the balance. TMZ reports his wife picked him up and that he'll remain in home confinement until then. (Philly)
Fellow New York native N.O.R.E broke the news of his release early yesterday.
"Welcome home @Ruleyork," N.O.R.E. tweeted, referring to Ja Rule's Twitter account.
"Just spoke to @Ruleyork everybody tell him welcome home!!!" (N.O.R.E.'s Twitter)
Recent reports suggested Rule would remain locked up through late July.
The 36-year-old rapper left a state prison in central New York last week after serving most of his two-year sentence for illegal gun possession and went straight into federal custody in a tax evasion case. The Federal Bureau of Prisons says he has since moved from an upstate jail to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, which houses prisoners awaiting court dates or having short terms left on their sentences. The bureau said Thursday his expected release date is July 28. Ja Rule admits he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million earned between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in New Jersey. (SF Gate)

OOTD: Strongman Swing Dress
Theres something magical about the circus with the amazing acts, exotic animals, and delicious sweet scents of cotton candy and caramel corn. The instant we saw the Blue and Black Stongman Swing Dress we were head over heels in love. We adore statement prints and this little showstopper of a frock is adorned with a festive vintage-inspired circus print that we just couldn't pass up.
To keep the focus on the darling print, we styled the dress with understated tonal accessories like the Black Lady Lux Work Bag, the Pin Up Ankle Strap Gorgeous Heels, and the Light Blue and Tortoise Love Story Sunglasses. Finish the ensemble by adding a touch of volume to the dress with the Black Tea Length Petticoat Crinoline.
For more delightful frocks with pretty prints, shimmy on over to our pin up dress section and grab yourself something fabulous.

SooOo GOOD! Got this one from Alton Brown on his candy Good Eats episode. It takes some time, but if you love candy corn as much as I do, and you don't like the artificial candy corn, it is SO worth it. :)

"Floating" Wire Sculptures by David OliveiraJuxtapoz // Saturday, June 09, 2012
These wire sculptures appear to be, and I'm almost convinced they are, small ink drawings on top of photos of a gallery setting. No, these are actual wire sculptures that appear as if they are floating on the surface. But that is David Oliveira's intention; twist, turn, contort the wires to appear like drawing sculptures floating in the air.
Alexa Meade @ The National Portrait Gallery Museum, Washington, DCJuxtapoz // Wednesday, June 06, 2012
Alexa Meade has long been a subject of our fascination and awe, as she transforms live models into living paintings in both gallery and performance settings. She brings paintings to life, so to speak. Tonight, June 6, at the National Portrait Gallery Museum in Washington, DC, Meade will create a pair of portraits with live models—one in a black-and-white scene and a second on a similar, but full-color set, with viewers being able to watch and interact with the process.
The Bookyard: An Outdoor Public Library by Massimo BartoliniJuxtapoz // Saturday, June 02, 2012
We love public art in any form, especially when it completely changes the landscape (for the better). We love bookstores and libraries, too, and to see this fantastic project, an outdoor public library called The Bookyard, just combines all the things we like. Massimo Bartolini, we say wonderful work. The public installation, made for the Belgian Art Festival, sits next to rows of grapevines.
String Installations by Sebastien PreschouxJuxtapoz // Thursday, May 31, 2012
Not only are these geometric string installations well-constructed by French artist Sebastien Preschoux, but the way they are lit and photographed makes them seem even more profound. The thread installations transform otherwise dark locations into spaces that appear ready to jump through for optimal time travel.
Geometric Tape Floors by Jim LambieJuxtapoz // Tuesday, May 29, 2012
First off, did you know everyday tape comes in this many colors, because we didn't. Secondly, knowing this, Glasgow, Scotland-based artist Jim Lambie transforms spaces by turning the floors into geometric mazes of color bursts and visual stimulation.
Legos for Qubic TaxJuxtapoz // Friday, May 25, 2012
In 2012, it is not easy to convince people to do anything if there isn't some sort of comedic or clever push to demonstrate why in fact you should do it. I don't drive a KIA unless Blake Griffin is stretching it out in their commercials. Get it? Well Qubic, a company specializing in "providing tax solutions to clients throughout the UK," took this notion and used 1200 LEGO characters to demonstrate the wide-ranging amount of people united in their "duty to pay taxes."
Matthew Barney x Barry X Ball Dual-Dual Portrait @ Nathalie Obadia, ParisJuxtapoz // Friday, May 18, 2012
Barry X Ball, who has been working in reinterpreting classic sculpture for over 30 years, just had aninstallation at Nathalie Obadia in Paris, called Matthew Barney / Barry X Ball Dual-Dual Portrait. The room featured a "a Janus-like double portrait of Barry X Ball and fellow artist Matthew Barney," carved in stone, staring at each other in a gold and black color scheme.
Tom Sachs: Love Letter To PlywoodJuxtapoz // Friday, May 18, 2012
Here at Juxtapoz HQ we were incredibley sad that were not able to make the opening of Tom Sachs' newest exhibtion Space Program: Mars. Watching some of these videos that Sachs' released in coordination with the show like, How to Sweep and the newest one we came across Love Letter to Plywood is only making it worse.
Tom Sachs "SPACE PROGRAM: MARS" @ Park Avenue Armory, NYCJuxtapoz // Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Tom Sachs' newest exhibition at first glance might seem like a glorified space camp that someone is trying to call art, but understanding Sachs' style and mentality we realized that this is in an incredible exhibition not to be missed. Sachs' will be occupying the 55,000 square foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall creating an immersive installation that is reminiscent of the Apollo Program but will be focused around Mars.
Typography City and New Works by Hong Seon Jang @ David B Smith, DenverJuxtapoz // Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Denver's David B Smith Gallery has a fantastic new exhibition of works from Hong Seon Jang, featuring a fantastic sculpture piece titled Type City, featuring letterpress on wood panel made to resemble, you guessed it, the cityscape. The exhibition, with the great title of Labyrinth, features Jang's signature tape drawings, where he creates large scale works on chalkboard using tape.
