New here and really don't know much. I have been looking at a 1959 Browning HiPower 9mm. The question I have is concerning the barrel. When the slide is pulled back the barrel seems to be loose with movement front to rear. Is this normal? Thanks for any comments.

I have two HP Browning 9MM and neither one of them seem to be "loose" with any movement front to rear or side to side. Both of mine are much newer that what looking at though. I'm no expert but I would take it to a gunsmith who knows what should be the correct slack for the year of the gun your looking at. I'm real happy with both of mine.
There should be no reason to worry. You can always ask a local gunsmith, if you are still unsure.
Lots of semi-autos have floating barrels when the slides are locked back. The natural result of a design which allows one to simply lift it out to clean.
You just can't do better than a Browning Hi-Power. In my opinion, it is the result of John Browning correcting the flaws in the 1911. It is the best gun I own without a doubt.
That wobble is necessary. Buy the pistol.
One thing I finally know of this board. With the Slide back the "looseness" is normal. After carrying and firing a few thousand rounds in 1911's, and more wheel guns than I can recall, The only one I carry now and use all the time is the Hi-Power. Just dead reliable, hi capacity, digest about any ammo, very accurate, yeah, I'm a fan.
Hi, Ive got my own Hi power 9mm a few months back, lovely gun, 1972-75 era was in grease for 30 yrs, immaculate. Cost $590 usd (€450 euro)
Ive noticed that the front sight (fixed non adjustable blade type) is loose, if i cock it a few times, allowing the spring to bring to close her, or fire her a few times I see the sight pop out slightly... anyone seen this before? Any tips on fixing?
I also noticed, now that ive been paying to that area of the gun that when the gun is stripped the bushing that houses the barrel muzzel when assembled seems to rotate slightly, maybe 5 degrees back and forth however stays flush with the slide. anyone seen this either?
gun doesnt seem to have been abused, no knocks of dings apparent.
Like i say gun is like new. only a few hundred round through her... less than 500.
All and any advice welcome.
Weird. I don't have any advice other that what you already know. Bring it to a gunsmith.

Most misdemeanor charges for outburst at School Dept. are reduced to violations
Thursday, October 31, 2013
ROCHESTER — The Gonic man accused of disrupting the School Department office in 2012, and yelling profanities at two school officials, appeared for trial on Monday, but no ruling has taken place yet on his charges.
Earlier this month, Kimber's public defense attorney David Betancourt made a motion to dismiss the three disorderly conduct charges. That motion, which has not yet been granted or denied, claims the three charges should be dismissed based on the freedom of speech outlined in the First Amendment.
Using "obscenities to underscore how upset he was," Kimber also accused Hopkins of being a member of the KKK, because of his belief that response to his daughter's situation was racially motivated, according to the motion.
In September, Kimber's attorney made a motion to amend Kimber's bail conditions, so that Kimber would be allowed to enter Spaulding High School, for picking up and dropping off his daughter, and meeting with the teachers. That motion was denied on Oct. 3.
The criminal contempt conviction from November 2012 was due to Kimber being out on bail during the time of the incident at Frisbie Memorial Hospital.

Slayings More About Hatred of Police Than Stolen Jewelry
South Bend Tribune Columnist
When John Roggeman was an all-state running back for Mishawaka High School in 1978, he loved his blockers ahead of him.
One of them was Tom Roberts.
"Tight end, No. 83," Roggeman says without a hitch. "Tom protected me back then, and he later protected me and other Mishawaka citizens as one of our police officers."
So it hit Roggeman like a helmet when he found out that Roberts and fellow officer Bryan Verkler were gunned down by a crime-happy assailant, who also died, early Saturday morning on Sarah Street.
"I cried like a baby when I heard the news," Roggeman admits.
His dad, Bill Roggeman Jr., was a longtime Mishawaka police officer who worked the midnight shift for 18 1/2 years.
"And we knew that every night that Dad went out there, that something like this could have happened to him," Roggeman says. "I know he had a gun held on him at one point.
"I guess that makes the present situation even more emotional for me."
A newly elected Mishawaka Common Council member who will take office next month, Roggeman also has an office in the Mishawaka Police Department in his role as the director of the Neighborhood Prosecution Program under Prosecutor Michael Dvorak.
"If a building could have a heart, then this one would be broken," he says.
The Mishawaka community and surrounding areas have embraced the comrades and families of the fallen officers with flowers and donations and prayers.
Most of the police officers and firefighters in this proud blue-collar town are home-grown heroes -- many of them proudly wore the Maroon and White into battle.
Tom Roberts was one of them, sandwiched between brothers Larry and Gary, who also gave their all for the Cavemen cause.
Bryan Verkler was another tough kid from down the road in the Walkerton area. He placed fourth in the state in the shot put for John Glenn High School and competed in the local Highland Games. He wore a kilt and tossed around stones and telephone pole-like cabers as if they were toys.
He could have stepped right out of a scene of "Braveheart" -- an appropriate term for most police officers.
And there Verkler was, standing beside Roberts on that porch early Saturday morning -- both not realizing that their lives would soon be sucked away.
It happened so fast.
They knew there had been shots fired earlier at another location. They knew that a necklace had allegedly been stolen.
They didn't know that on the other side of the door was Ray Gilkeson, a loathsome individual who had come from California a year ago with a long rap sheet and a hatred for police officers.
"I'm sure they (Roberts and Verkler) were cautious, but officers are always responding to 'Shots fired,' " says one former Mishawaka police officer who retired as a South Bend cop.
But when Gilkeson opened the door and Roberts tried to pull him outside, Gilkeson did the unthinkable. He starting firing a gun he was carrying in his hand, killing Roberts and wounding Verkler. Verkler later died at the hospital where his wife was working her shift as an ER nurse.
So senseless.
This had little to do with a necklace and everything to do with a man twisted by evil.
And why was Gilkeson, with his prior arrests and known to be a threat to law enforcement personnel, free to be out in public anyway?
Along with the anguish comes the anger. "It's the way our society is," says another police officer. "Our courts are too lenient."
"It's the overcrowding problem at prisons," adds another.
It's not right.
Two officers are dead. A community mourns. The thin blue line becomes a raging river of support.
"It makes me want to put back on the uniform," adds the former Mishawaka officer.
To honor the men who died in theirs.
How to help:
A fund has been established at MFB Financial branches for financial contributions to the families of the slain officers. The address of the main office in Mishawaka is:
MFB Financial
121 S. Church St.
Mishawaka, IN 46544
Phone: (574) 255-3146
How you can help:
Mishawaka, Ind. Mayor Robert Beutter said the city's flags have been moved to half-staff and he urges businesses and residents to do the same.
He also said citywide holiday flags will be replaced with American flags out of respect for the two officers killed in the line of duty early Saturday.
Residents can show support by adding blue lights to their Christmas window decorations.
The two officers' patrol cars are parked in front of the Mishawaka police station, at 200 N. Church St.
Residents may show respect by placing cards, flowers or any mementos near the vehicles, Beutter said.
South Bend police Capt. Phil Trent echoed Beutter's comments, urging
county and South Bend residents to show respect by flying their flags
at half-staff.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Compliments the invitation perfectly, beautiful, simple and nautical! Customer service helped me redesign the card to look exactly how I wanted it, well done!"
"I ordered this response card and it came out lovely. I also got the envelopes printed with the address, which I didn't realize would be raised lettering- it added a beautiful touch. The only thing I didn't like about the design is that the check boxes are not all in line with each other (for will/will not attend) and for the entree selections. I had the designer fix it so they were all in line--I feel that that made it much more esthetically pleasing. Other than that, I am a very happy camper! Gorgeous indeed."
"the designers were really helpful and added another entree plus some more information about the menu on the bottom. you can fit pretty much any information that you require :) very nice quality, beautiful color that looked just like the image online"
"We ordered these for our Florida wedding (after reviewing hundreds of invitations and sampling over 20)...These are just perfect! Elegant, formal, simple, high quality....the gold lettering is just a tinge sparkly and fancy which I loved! So happy that these were the ones we picked!!"
"These are beautiful response cards. The process for ordering them with my specific needs was flawless. I needed mine to have specific writing because my food is family style so guests aren't choosing their meal ahead of time. I also wanted my card to include a line for "number of person" after the "will attend" line. I wrote my special instructions in the section provided and the digital proof the artist sent back was perfect."

FRIDAY, Sept. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is effective for patients who have sustained a transient ischemic attack or mild, non-disabling stroke (TIA/MNDS) resulting in significant, favorable outcomes in vascular risk factors including aerobic capacity, total cholesterol, total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein percentage, triglycerides, waist circumference, body mass index, and body weight, according to a study published online Sept. 22 in Stroke.
Peter L. Prior, Ph.D., from the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, and colleagues evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of six-month outpatient CCR for secondary prevention after TIA/MNDS. A total of 80 patients diagnosed with TIA/MNDS within the previous 12 months with one or more vascular risk factors were selected from January 2005 to April 2006 and their six-month CCR outcomes were assessed.
The investigators identified significant and favorable intake-to-exit changes in aerobic capacity (+31.4 percent), total cholesterol (−0.30 mmol/L), total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (−11.6 percent), triglycerides (−0.27 mmol/L), waist circumference (−2.44 cm), body mass index (−0.53 kg/m²), and body weight (−1.43 kg). Nonsignificant but favorable changes were observed in low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A significant shift was seen toward non-smoking. From intake to completion of CCR, there was a 25.6 percent increase in the number of individuals in the lowest-mortality risk category of the Duke Treadmill Score.
"CCR is feasible and effective for secondary prevention after TIA/MNDS, offering a promising model for vascular protection across chronic disease entities," the authors write.
One of the study authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

The Other California Wine Country: Paso Robles and the Villa Toscana
March 17, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The beautiful and scenic California coastline near San Luis Obispo is also Cali's fastest-growing wine region. But the cat's not yet out of the bag-- the rolling hills and undulating countryside are still peacefully quiet. No Napa traffic jams here. To explore these tranquil environs-- just about halfway between Lalaland and San Fran-- take a room at the charming Villa Toscana, a luxe bed and breakfast that boasts just eight romantic suites. Overlooking the vineyards, the rooms are opulently decorated, each named for one of the estate's award-winning wines. To really do it right, reserve the private winemaker's residence: a two-bedroom, 2.5 bath suite, with a detached two car garage, private courtyard, patio, and Jacuzzi.

Crazy about Coral Gables: the New Westin Colonnade Hotel
On its sun-soaked perch overlooking Miami, Coral Gables-- aka City Beautiful as it was dubbed when it was founded in 1925-- is a lot more than its 6.5 million square feet of office space, high-end boutiques and University of Miami campus. This is also the Latin American business headquarters of oodles of multinational companies (try 175 of them). It's a lush and beautiful spot, with a Mediterranean style aura. Starwood just announced plans to convert the 157-room Colonnade Hotel-- long known as the scene for important social and business events-- into a new Westin. What can guests expect at the new Colonnade, slated to open in late 2006? Why-- Westin's signature Heavenly Bed, of course, along with luxurious services, products and amenities that are all in line with Westin's new brand message of "renewal." Hence, the high thread-count sheets, down duvet and down pillows, plush bathrobes, and the newest Heavenly Bath: "a custom-designed dual showerhead that offers a choice of spray options from light mist to massaging needles." But smokers, beware. As of February 2006, Westin's paved the way for smoke-free hotels across North America.
W Hotels Joins the Fray in Dubai
Will the Dubai building boom go bust? As hyped in the press, W Hotels has recently announced its plans to bring its signature, stylish brand to the Middle East. W will open its 350-room luxury hotel in 2008 as part of the Festival City Project: a massive "City within a City" with "Riviera-style scenery and lush green landscapes… and iconic towers and luxury hotels." And it's touted as "the Middle East's largest, privately funded mixed-use real estate development." The W seems its centerpiece, to be designed by a renowned architect and packed full of the W brand signatures like loft suites, open "Living Room," and Bliss spa. Can the booming hotel and resort landscape of Dubai become as packed as the Vegas Strip?

Disney descended on Hong Kong last September, and-- in the ultimate symbol of China's newly (and increasingly) ravenous consumer hunger-- is now planning a park on the Chinese mainland as well. Indeed, Hong Kong Disneyland was so mobbed during the Lunar New Year that hordes were denied entrance to the park. As quoted by CNN:
"China has a very large population. We now have 1.3 billion people. The market is very large. As far as I know, Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded," said Shao Qiwei, director of China's State Administration of Tourism, whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong's Cable TV.
The Magic of Monaco: Monte Carlo Bay Resort and Hotel
The first new hotel to open in Monaco in 75 years, the $260 million Monte Carlo Bay Resort and Hotel has reinvented Monte Carlo, bringing back the chic and legendary glamour of the Roaring Twenties on the Riviera. Set on the edge of the sea, with sweeping azure views, the hotel is elegantly situated within four hectares of Mediterranean gardens and lagoons. Just minutes from Nice. Lounge by the glass-domed indoor swimming pool, or relax in the adjoining spa, a contemporary and luxurious paradise complete with 12 treatment rooms, fitness center and Turkish baths. In the evening, watch the sunset from the sea-view bar, and then indulge in the gastronomic pleasures of four stellar restaurants, including one directed by celebrity chef Alain Ducasse. And the nightlife—as expected—is exceptional.

By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Say hello to the brand spanking new Raffles Beijing Hotel. The decadent 171-room hotel makes its debut on May 28, and Raffles is celebrating big time.

This is an illustrious Beijing address, located just a few minutes from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Inside, the guest rooms are beautifully decorated, a fusion of Asian and French elegance. There is fine dining aplenty, and a gorgeous fitness center (squash or indoor tennis, anyone?) with its own indoor swimming pool. And the Raffles Beijing Hotel is celebrating its opening with a fantastic introductory offer. Two nights luxurious accommodation includes the following amenities: complimentary breakfast for two, arrival car transfer from the airport, complimentary wireless internet, and personal on-call valet services. Starting at CNY 2,180 per night for a Landmark Room, and CNY 2,680 for an Executive Room. Available May 28-August 31, 2006. Did I mention that the first 1,000 guests receive a special free commemorative gift?!
Suite on New York: The Triplex Penthouse at the Time
March 14, 2006
By: Guest Writer
By Courtney W. May Last week in the Informed Traveler Newsletter we had an article which highlighted three suites in New York City, including the Taipan Suite at the Mandarin Oriental, the Royal Suite at the Carlyle and the Park Avenue Suite at The Regency. We asked our readers to send us their favorite suites in NYC and the highlight was the 'Triplex Penthouse Suite' at The Time located at 224 West 49th Street in the heart of the West Side. On level one of the three you have the main living area with a huge L-shaped terrace, full sized marble bath, and dining area. On the second level you have the master bedroom with King size platform bed, computer workstation, the master bath (featuring jacuzzi tub, sauna, towel warmer and dual vanities), and a printer/fax/copier. Level three is the 'entertainment' level with oversized terrace, exercise bike, and 60" projection screen tv. As our reader put it: "it's pretty 'Suite'!".

Ok, I don't know what the deal is...I was a weird person who for most of my pregnancy had great skin. Then the first few months were fine, but the last 2, maybe 3 months I have had pimple after pimple after pimple! I haven't really changed my skincare routine...I did switch cleansers for a little while, but am now using the same thing I used to use, only now it seems to be getting worse? Oh, and in addition to the pimples, my skin is rough and peely in places. That could just be the cold dry air, though...not sure. Anyone else experience this? Is it hormones? I exclusively BF for 6 months, and have slowly been introducing solids since then. But she still BF all the time, and at least once a night(sometimes 2 or 3 times a night). Help!

'Serbisyo All Access' to link people with govt
By Lara Tan
Solar News Channel will launch its first public service program, Serbisyo All Access, on Monday (June 2, 2014).
This one-stop public service program is designed to inform, educate, and empower the public.
Jun del Rosario, news gathering chief of Solar News Channel, says the program aims to help the public have an easier link with the government so they could let their issues be known.
"The public can think of this show as a conduit," Del Rosario says. "We'll be the link of the public to the government, making it easier for them to communicate and solve the issues."
Among these issues are employment, consumer rights, and legal counsel.
The complainant or those with queries can directly speak with a representative from the concerned government agency.
The program will do its best to help resolve the issues, even after airing.
"The public service does not end when the show does," Del Rosario says.
The "all access" part of the show encompasses all classes of people, all government agencies, and all kinds of problems.
"There is no such thing as a small problem, because what may be a small issue for some can be a burdening problem to the complainant," Del Rosario emphasizes.
Serbisyo All Access will stand true to Solar News Channel's mission, which is to inform and inspire.
The show won't be all about complaints. It will also educate the people about practical topics every Filipino should know, such as passport applications and opening a business.
This show aims to inspire the viewers by giving the complainants hope that their issues can be resolved.
Jing Magsaysay, senior vice president for news and current affairs, says Serbisyo All Access will give Solar News Channel a strong public affairs arm.

LOCAL 12 - Search Results
CLERMONT COUNTY, Ohio (Angenette Levy) -- A Clermont County mans in jail accused of trolling the internet looking for someone to rape a 4-year-old family member.
Matt Kidwell is charged with possessing child pornography and enticement. Local 12 has learned he applied to be a Cub Scout leader.
Federal officials say the investigation into Matt Kidwell started last month.
A man named "Marcus" told Cincinnati Police a man contacted him through a social networking service called Livelinks.
Marcus said the man wanted someone to rape a four-year-old family member.
Christy Muncy said, "If it had not been for that person coming forward to Cincinnati police department and then to RECI we would not have made this arrest today."
Assistant US Attorney Christy Muncy says officers with the Hamilton County Sheriff's regional electronics and computer investigations posed as Marcus and reached out to Kidwell.
The federal complaint alleges Kidwell texted nude photos of the girl.
Christy Muncy continued, "Anytime a person wants to be involved in a four-year-old child, or any child for that matter, being sexually assaulted and abused is disturbing."
Kidwell allegedly wanted to watch the rape and wanted the girl burned with a cigarette before having his way with her.
"This is a pretty bold way to meet someone. He was pretty open in what he wanted and he even posted it on a social media website."
Last summer Kidwell posted on Facebook, "Finding families into incest willing to share."
Within the last two days, law enforcement ID'd Matt Kidwell as the man behind the messages. Friday morning, the FBI raided the home near Blanchester where Kidwell lived with his parents.
"We collected a lot of information, a lot of media from his home, from his car and I would suspect we'll find more information based on that," Muncy said.
Local 12 found out that Matt Kidwell had recently applied to be a Cub Scout leader with his sons pack in Blanchester. He was attending Cub Scout meetings but a Boy Scout executive says he wasn't a pack leader because he hadn't completed training or a background check.

Dizengoff Beach Apartments in Tel Aviv - Contact the owner
Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

But really now, wasn't it the immensely popular ones that got many of us into anime in the first place? The first three anime I saw (Barring a few I saw when I was a little boy) were Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Dragonball Z.
It wasn't until I learned the connection between the three, and met a pair of super hot identical twin sisters who loved anime that I got hooked.
I do miss them ever-so-much....however I think they're out of anime and now into manga.....which is not very encouraging xD, manga is fine but you didn't have to drop anime D:

Posts tagged: scanner chatter
We heard this gem on the scanner. Apparently this isn't the first rodeo for a dispatcher looking up a suspect's information for an officer.
Dispatcher: Not only did he give a bad phone number, but he gave a bad birth date.
Officer: I'm shocked.
Here's one of the best things we've heard on the scanner in recent weeks:
5/2/2013 @ 5:51 p.m. - "Not sure if clowns are involved, but all the subjects are leaving in a vehicle."
Unfortunately, we lack further information to provide context to the quote.
For the week of March 22 through March 29, here's snippets of scanner chatter between law enforcement, dispatch and first responders.
3-23-13 @ 5:30 p.m. - A couple of kids were seen lighting pieces of paper on fire and then playing basketball at Longfellow Elementary. One of them was wearing a cookie monster hat.
3-23-13 @ 9:55 p.m. - It's not even 10 p.m., but officers contacted a passed out male at Irv's Bar and recognize the man as "their good friend." They ask dispatch if he's welcome at detox, but apparently no - he's banned for a year.
3-26-13 @ 2:32 p.m. - A caller tells dispatch they saw a person riding mattress attached to the top of a moving vehicle.
3-28-13 @ 1:21 p.m. - Dispatch says a male hit his mother in the head and adds, "They're both adults."
3-28-13 @ 7:54 p.m. - An officer is trying to identity a woman by the tattoo on her chest, but he tells dispatch he doesn't know what the tattoo is without looking further.
3-28-13 @ 8:42 p.m. - A dispatcher corrects herself after pronouncing the Ferry County town as Cure-loo instead of Curlew.
For the week of March 15 through March 22, here's snippets of scanner chatter between law enforcement, dispatch and first responders.
3-15-13 @ 8:46 p.m. - Dispatch tells officers there's a "very intoxicated" 11-year-old at Post and Riverside. Medics responded to the young boy.
3-16-13 @ 3:26 p.m. - A Spokane Valley boy earned a new nickname of "bunny ears" as an officer picked him up along with a friend while they tried to hitch hike near the IHOP and later, near the railroad tracks. Why? Because he was wearing bunny ears, according to dispatch.
3-16-13 @ 5:27 p.m. - At first it looked like suspicious people were trying to break into a home at an unknown location, but an officer learned the homeowners were instead trying to remove arrows from their roof, according to dispatch.
3-21-13 @ 11:10 a.m. - "Parents not being entirely cooperative," according to dispatchers as parents navigated the "zoo" that was Sullivan Road. Parents were unsure how to pick up their rain-soaked children after a massive evacuation from Central Valley High School.
3-21-13 @ 5:07 P.M. - Dispatch dubs a suspicious man as "Mr. Machete" because he was reportedly slinging one as he was running toward Freya on Longfellow, according to a caller.
For the week of March 8 through March 15, here's snippets of scanner chatter between law enforcement, dispatch and first responders.
03-08-13 @ 12:50 p.m. - A man tells 911 he's being chased by someone in "an invisible suit" near Freya.
03-12-13 @ 8:05 p.m. - An officer checking inside a building at an unknown location informs dispatch that there's a 25-pound cat waddling around inside.
03-13-13 @ 3:26 p.m. - A dispatcher relays to officers a description of a woman's sweatshirt: "It has a dinosaur on it that says, 'I'm rexy and I know it.'"
03-15-13 @ 4:40 p.m. - Watch out! Dispatch tells officers a 10-year-old is driving a green Chevy Blazer.

Before the ball flew 64 yards off the foot of Denver kicker Matt Prater, it began in the hands of Aaron Brewer, the Broncos' trusted long snapper.
TE Dennis Pitta, Ravens
There's no receiver Joe Flacco trusts more, and there's no free-agent tight end who's a better playoff replacement for Rob Gronkowski. In his first game back from summer hip surgery, Pitta participated in 36 of 87 snaps. He caught six passes – on 10 targets – for 48 yards and a touchdown. It stands to reason he'll get more work in his second game. Pitta also will benefit from an extra day's rest and pristine playing conditions in Detroit.
5:25 p.m., Sports Authority Field at Mile High
NFL Network
Line: Broncos by 101/2
Key injuries: SAN DIEGO: QUESTIONABLE-WR Eddie Royal (toe); DENVER: OUT-WR Wes Welker (concussion)
Injury impact: It isn't uncommon for Royal to play without practicing much. But his role has diminished as Keenan Allen and Ladarius Green have emerged. Look for Jacob Tamme, a trusted Peyton Manning target, to get more snaps in two-TE sets with Welker out.
Fantasy tip: The gap between Knowshon Moreno and Montee Ball is shrinking; their rushing stats were almost identical Sunday. Both are viable starters.
Lev's look: Broncos 35, Chargers 31. San Diego has enough offense to hang with Denver (and already did so in Week 10). I don't trust the defense to finish the deal.
For a limited time, enjoy the Register's sports columnists' latest columns (starting with those published Sept. 17) for free:
Aaron Brewer was somewhat reluctant to be interviewed for this story. Not because he's involved in any sort of controversy, but because he's a long snapper.
When long snappers do their job right, no one notices them. The only time they draw attention it's of the unwanted variety – for screwing up.
But this was a special occasion, so Brewer agreed to talk. Two days earlier, the Troy High graduate had played a critical role in a historic event: He snapped the ball that Denver Broncos teammate Matt Prater booted over the crossbar and through the uprights from 64 yards away – breaking an NFL record that had stood for 42-plus years.
In typical fashion, Brewer downplayed his part in the momentous field goal, which set off a raucous celebration at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
"It was pretty cool," the second-year pro said by phone from the Broncos' training facility in Englewood, Colo., where they were preparing for Thursday night's game against the San Diego Chargers.
"Honestly, I didn't know it was the record until he made it and everyone started going crazy."
Brewer didn't realize a record was at stake because he's all about putting his head down – literally – and doing his job. One of the biggest keys to success for long snappers is consistency – making every snap the same, or as close to it as possible.
Snappers have to ignore the elements and circumstances – in this case, frigid weather (game-time temp: 18 degrees) and an opportunity to break a record set by Tom Dempsey in 1970 and tied by three others. Brewer has the ideal mental makeup for the position.
"The guy's pulse rate doesn't get above 30," said Chris Rubio, lead instructor of Rubio Long Snapping, who tutored Brewer, among several other pros. "That's what you want in a long snapper. That's what makes him so good. He's just so laid-back."
That demeanor was one of the traits which led Rubio to believe Brewer could have a long, prosperous career as a long snapper.
Brewer began snapping for Troy as a freshman, the winner of a tryout to perform a task that's a lot more technical and challenging than it looks. Brewer subsequently read a story about Tesoro High's Christian Yount parlaying his snapping skills into a scholarship at UCLA. (Yount now snaps for the Cleveland Browns.) The article mentioned Rubio. The Brewers reached out to the long-snapping guru, who began working with Aaron. Brewer possessed the requisite athleticism, size (he's currently listed at 6-5, 230) and aptitude to develop into a standout snapper.
"He listened very well," Rubio said. "He wasn't just hearing me, he was actually listening. If I said, 'Aaron, I need you to adjust your form a little this way,' he would always do it, and he never complained."
Snapping is not a natural or comfortable activity. Your view of the world is upside-down. But Brewer was used to overcoming adverse situations.
Brewer suffered from dyslexia as a youth. He went on to make the all-academic team in the Mountain West Conference four years in a row at San Diego State, where he majored in finance.
"He's a fighter. He doesn't quit," said Aaron's older brother Nate, the middle of the three Brewer boys. "He's really my idol, my hero. He's a stud, man."

There are a range of human resources activities at the University which require approval by the appropriately delegated position prior to actioning and implementation. Delegated authorities are approved by the Director (Human Resources).
Human Resources has developed a matrix which establishes five levels of HR delegation as indicated below. Each category of delegate is assigned certain authorities and responsibilities (PDF 252kb) for various HR activities.
HR delegations are attached to a "position" in the USQ organisational structure and not an "individual". As such, whoever is occupying the delegated position (in either a continuing, acting or fixed term capacity) automatically assumes the delegations for the period they are undertaking the role.
Note: there are also Financial Delegates who hold different levels of responsibility for approving financial transactions at the University. These delegates are different to HR delegates and such details can be obtained from the staff in Financial and Business Services.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking into virtualising an intel based Mac Xserve that is currently running Leopard.
Has anyone had any experience with the new Parallels bare metal hypervisor?
Also as far as I can see the only way to P2V Leopard at the moment is to use dd

Thanks in advance.

The Report by Firdose Moonda
December 26, 2012
South Africa 179 for 6 (Davids 68, McClenaghan 2-24) beat New Zealand 146 for 9 (McCullum 25, McLaren 3-25, Phangiso 3-25) by 33 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Related Links
Players/Officials: Henry Davids | Justin Ontong
Series/Tournaments: New Zealand tour of South Africa
Teams: New Zealand | South Africa
South Africa won the first trophy available to them in their home summer with victory in the three-match Twenty20 series. After piling on the fifth highest score posted in the shortest format (at both international and domestic level) at St George's Park, thanks largely to an 89-run third wicket stand between Henry Davids and Justin Ontong, Aaron Phangiso and Ryan McLaren ensured South Africa defended it comfortably.
All of New Zealand's bowlers save for Mitchell McClenaghan and Ronnie Hira failed to read the pace of the Port Elizabeth pitch. Against the aggression of Davids and Ontong they gave away too many runs which allowed the pair to lay the launch-pad for take-off.
New Zealand did not have the batsmen to do the same. With Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum at the crease, there was some hope. Once the dominoes began to fall, there was no stopping the slide. Still, New Zealand competed with the hosts with more heart than was expected of them to set the tone ahead for the Test matches.
As an example of their ability to ruffle feathers, New Zealand had the hosts in early trouble, even in the absence of Richard Levi. South Africa's opening partnership stuttered again when Faf du Plessis, who was promoted to bat in his preferred top-two spot, was bowled by Ronnie Hira as he attempted to hit through mid-wicket.
Levi's omission also meant Quinton de Kock was given more responsibility at No. 3 but his inexperience showed. Instead of rotating strike while Davids kept going, de Kock tried to loft McClenaghan over long-on and got a leading edge. Corey Anderson ran from mid-off to take the catch at mid-on and de Kock's series with the bat ended without him living up to the hype.
Davids had none of the same expectation but exceeded all hopes. He displayed a range of classical shots, tinged only with some extra intent. The drive off the back foot and the pull shot were his hallmarks but more notable than that was that he scored off almost every ball he faced. Both he and Ontong pushed each other between the wickets and put pressure on the New Zealand fielders.
The only chance they offered was when Davids went aerial against Doug Bracewell and lobbed the ball to Martin Guptill at short extra cover. Guptill seemed to lose the ball in the background and although he got fingers to it, spilt the chance. Davids was on 32 and went on to more than double his score.
As Davids grew in confidence, so did Ontong, whose assurance swelled against James Franklin. Ontong hit him for back to back sixes: down the ground and then to deep mid-wicket but Franklin won the mini-battle when Ontong was caught trying to send another slower ball over the leg-side boundary. Still, he had taken 16 runs off the five balls he faced in that over and South Africa had 116 runs and seven wickets in hand as they approached the last five overs.
Those turned out to the most profitable, even though Davids departed mid-way through. South Africa added 63 runs in the final quarter of their innings, thanks to their big-hitters. Farhaan Behardien and David Miller both struck the ball cleanly against New Zealand's clueless death bowlers.
Contrastingly, South Africa's attack had a firm grip on what was required. Ryan McClaren had Rob Nicol lbw in the first over when he was struck in line of middle and offstump. Guptill showed glimpses of the form he displayed three days ago when his 101 took New Zealand to victory. He drove with power and was assisted by McCullum, who seemed to finally find his placement.
Just as the two settled, Guptill tried to paddle Phangiso over short fine-leg but was caught by Robin Peterson. Phangiso claimed another big scalp in his next over when McCullum thought he had got him over long-off but was caught on the boundary.
New Zealand remained in the hunt and after 11 overs had the same score South Africa had posted - 71 - but had lost two more wickets. Colin Munro edged a McLaren short ball and James Franklin swung to long-on to give Phangiso his third. The point of no return was reached when Morne Morkel leapt to his left at short third man to send Jimmy Neesham on his way.
The required run rate climbed to over 14 to an over with six to go and only last rites were left to be performed. Rory Kleinveldt took the ninth wicket but Morne Morkel finished without reward as a new South African era made itself known. For New Zealand, there remains much to work on. They were suspected to have bled 20 runs too many but in the end, were almost double that short.

On July 28, 2014, LCRA General Manager Phil Wilson announced that LCRA is cracking down on people who take water from the Highland Lakes or lower Colorado River without a valid contract. LCRA asks anyone who spots a possible violation to report it to LCRA.
"LCRA is committed to protecting the water supply for this region," Wilson said. "People are required to have a contract and pay for water they take from the lakes. It's only fair that everyone who takes water from the lakes or the river plays by the same rules. It's the right thing to do, it's the fair thing to do, and it's the law."
Read the news release.
Residential property owners can obtain a three-year contract from LCRA to pump water from one of the Highland Lakes. The following documents provide more information on applying for a contract.
Domestic use and temporary irrigation customers are now on a
once-per-week watering schedule because of the extreme drought in this region. The LCRA Board of Directors approved this temporary amendment to LCRA's Drought Contingency Plan on Feb. 19. This watering schedule will remain in effect until combined storage in lakes Travis and Buchanan increases to more than 1.1 million acre-feet or LCRA resumes supplying water to customers in the Gulf Coast, Lakeside or Pierce Ranch irrigation areas.
This restriction does not apply to watering with drip irrigation or soaker hoses that have working on/off timers, watering with a hand-held hose that has a shut-off nozzle, or watering with a faucet-filled bucket that holds no more than five gallons. LCRA staff implemented enforcement measures to help ensure the watering schedule is being followed. Violators will be subject to surcharges. Here are
answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about once-per-week watering.
Domestic use customers may water on the following days:
Hours: Midnight to 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight
email@example.com to report any suspected violations.
We are in a serious drought. Please follow your watering schedule and
stay informed about the drought.
If you are moving in or out, need a new sticker to identify the water intake for your property, or currently cannot access water from lakes Buchanan or Travis, please email information to
The Highland Lakes - Buchanan, Inks, LBJ, Marble Falls, Travis and Austin - are an important source of water for cities, industry, agriculture and the environment throughout the basin. As a steward of this valuable but finite resource, LCRA has the responsibility to carefully conserve, manage and account for the use of water from the lakes. This becomes increasingly important during drought. Lakeside residents wishing to take water from the Highland Lakes or Austin's Lady Bird Lake must first have a contract with LCRA or have other legal authorization to take water from the lakes under state law.
The current annual rate for domestic water is $151 per acre-foot of water (325,851 gallons) and is based on the current firm raw water rate typically charged to municipal and industrial customers. The contracts are three years and are subject to renewal. The minimum domestic use contract is for three-quarters of an acre-foot at a cost of $113.25. This amount of water is sufficient to meet the landscape watering needs of a house on a lot up to a half-acre. There is no application fee or meter requirement. The LCRA Board of Directors on June 18, 2014, approved a new one-year "drought rate" for firm water customers for 2015. Firm customers, including many cities in Central Texas and domestic use customers, will pay the new rate of $175 per acre-foot beginning with the January 2015 billing cycle.
LCRA estimates that an average of 5,000 acre-feet per year is being pumped from the Highland Lakes by lakeside residents – most of it for lawn watering. Based on population and development projections, this use is expected to increase to more than 10,000 acre-feet per year by 2050. That is enough water to supply some communities.
No one has the right to take water that has been stored in the Highland Lakes without a contract with LCRA. Only a person with an old "riparian" water right, a domestic and livestock exemption or a water right issued by the state of Texas could possibly take water from the Colorado River absent a contract with LCRA.
Most customers are already doing their part to protect this valuable natural resource that is shared by all in the lower Colorado River basin. It is only fair that all water customers pay their share of the costs for maintaining the dams, water quality and water conservation programs, and water supply planning.
A temporary water sale agreement may be used for construction projects, irrigation of common areas or other small operations requiring no more than 10 acre-feet of water a year for no more than three years.
Please note: Payments received after 2 p.m. will be posted on your account the next business day.
LCRA offers a free landscape irrigation system checkup to its domestic use customers. The service can make your sprinkler system more efficient, which can save water and money. The checkup also makes you eligible for up to $350 in rebates for water-saving equipment. Please contact Brett Briant at
512-578-4775 or
email@example.com to schedule an irrigation checkup, or visit
watersmart.org for more information and water-saving tips.
It's easy to overwater your lawn during the hot summer months. This can waste water and money and make your lawn and landscaping more susceptible to disease. There's an easy method that anyone can use to apply the correct amount of water.
