By 454alan from USA on 2009-01-18 20:26:43Things I liked:Rapid fire. Really fun to shoot! Great styling. Clips change easily. The best gun I ever owned! Very easy loading. Well manufactured. Multiple fire lets you bracket your shots. Smart design. Very customizable.
Things I would have changed:Burns through CO2's fast! You get about 3 clip loads per CO2. This needs a 88 gram with a large magazine feeder. The Blackbird is a nice attempt to retrofit this pistol, but with the exposed CO2, feeder wire, and poor integration to the gun, the styling really suffers and makes it look like a bad toy gun.
What others should know:Definitely buy a longer barrel and throw away the stupid fake suppressor. It looks cool but adds a lot of weight which makes it harder to shoot. This gun is so much fun to customize. I added a longer barrel which helped the accuracy quite a bit. I added a Crosman muzzle brake that cleans up the barrel gas turbulence. I even get a little nose kick from the brake. I added an Israeli hand grip and nylon web strap which really makes it feel like a sub machine gun. I bought a gun belt with magazine pouches and keep 3 loaded clips ready, and this lets you enjoy your shooting for awhile before stopping to reload.

By David from USA on 2010-05-28 02:40:24Things I liked:this a very well built bb gun, tough enough if treated well, it should last many years.
Things I would have changed:A much larger magazine holder, at the rate of fire 30 rounds are gone in a heart beat. I bought it first with one chamber then ordered a very high dollar extra mag. Still not enough so I ordered the co2 canister kit. wow that was a big mistake. they don't tell you that to do this you have to cut part of your mag. cover off to install it and then my extra mag became redundant do to all the stuff you have to do to hook this thing up, plus with a tank for supply power your bullets seem to go twice as fast.
What others should know:Don't buy this thing, go with the Black hawk or better for the bucks is go with the steel Storm. They both give you plenty to shoot before you ever have to reload.

And this is exactly why they should stop having them coaches fight each other after the season. Half of the time they have to cancel due to injuries....
TUF curse strikes again. i really do think this injury is an end of the road for carwin. if he does come back he'll probably fight one more fight and win or lose he will than retire.
Royce Gracie makes innapropriate charge on Twitter - Mixed Martial Arts NewsTo call Royce Gracie a pillar of mixed martial arts, would be an understatement. Nineteen years after sweeping UFC 1 with ease, Gracie still has a fight or two left, and travels the world teaching jiu-jitsu. He is an icon of positivity in a world that easily slips in bickering.
Thus it was all the more suprising to see him take to twitter and make an entirely unsubstantiated swipe at Shane Carwin, after he was forced to pull out of the TUF finale fight with Roy Nelson.
So much for the claims @roynelsonmma was trying to get out of the fight with @shanecarwin guess that random test f----- up the cycle and "blew out the knee"

With snow and blistering cold preventing the Glenwood basketball team from three days of practice, Ram coach Curt Schulte put his team through a rigorous 90-minute work out prior to their game with Red Oak on Saturday afternoon.
The jumpstart seemed to payoff as Glenwood rattled off 15 points in a row in the first quarter and led by as many as 29 in a 67-42 Hawkeye 10 Conference victory on Saturday.
Colin White earned a first place medal and Sam Jameson and Nate Harms both placed second for Glenwood in a second-place team finish at the Gary Christiansen Tournament at Winterset on Saturday.
"The guys did a great job today," said Glenwood coach Matt Dyer. "We were actually in the lead coming into the final round. Urbandale had a few more guys place higher than us and that's what cost us the lead. I am very proud of this team. It was a total team effort to place as high as we did."
As the investigation continues into a forgery scheme that bilked Operation Santa out of more than $11,000 the Glenwood non-profit that has spent more than a decade helping needy families buy Christmas gifts got a gift of its own last week.
The Mutual of Omaha Foundation has donated $10,000 to Operation Santa to cover the losses the group has suffered as a result of more than 220 forged $50 gift vouchers.
A resident of a Glenwood apartment complex that suffered $30,000 in damages in a Dec. 21 fire has been charged with first degree arson after allegedly setting the blaze.
Jarrett D. Dunn, 36, the resident of Unit 10 where the blaze ignited in a kitchen area of the former Chief Motel at 6 North Locust St., was arrested on Dec. 23 after a confrontation with police. Damages to the complex were mostly confined to Dunn's unit.
Glenwood letter carriers are asking customers for some help in clearing a path to their mailboxes. Unsafe conditions such as unshoveled snow, icy sidewalks and porches, or large amounts of snow blocking mailboxes can delay or even prevent mail delivery.
As of Tuesday morning, one arrest had been made and more are expected to follow as the Glenwood Police Department continues its investigation into the use of forged vouchers that claim to be from the Operation Santa program in Mills County.
Over 220 of the fake $50 vouchers were cashed in earlier this month for purchases totaling more than $11,000, interim police chief Mike Mercer said. The vouchers were presented and accepted at four Glenwood businesses – Family Dollar, Newman's Thriftway, Captain Video/Radio Shack and Pamida.
The Iowa State Fire Marshal's Office is assisting in the investigation of a suspicious fire Monday morning at a Glenwood apartment complex.
The blaze caused extensive damage to one unit of the former Chief Motel and forced the evacuation of the other 10 units in the one-level, L-shaped structure.
"It started in the kitchen area of Unit 10," Glenwood Fire Chief Butch Fidler said. "All I can say at this time is that it's suspicious in nature."
A foot of snow, a sheet of ice and sub-zero temperatures.
It's definitely beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas.
Autumn doesn't officially end until next Monday, but southwest Iowa got its first taste of winter weather last week when a brutal storm dropped 12 inches of snow on the area and created blizzard conditions. The snowfall moved in Monday evening and continued falling well into Wednesday.
A day short of one year after voters said no to the Glenwood School's request for an Instructional Support Levy, the district is planning to try again.
The Glenwood School Board voted 3-1 at a public hearing Monday night in the Glenwood Community High School Media Center to pursue an Instructional Support Levy (ISL), an alternative funding stream to address curriculum and technology needs in the cash strapped district, in a Feb. 2 special election.
The Glenwood boys basketball team withstood a two-hour road trip, a bus breakdown and a late rally to post a 53-48 victory over Kuemper Catholic on Friday.
The Rams (2-1 overall, 1-1 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) were delayed en route to Carroll on Friday afternoon with mechanical problems on the team bus. After a short delay waiting for a replacement bus, the Rams arrived on time.
"This was a good win," said Glenwood coach Curt Schulte. "Anytime you can win at Kuemper its a good win. So with all that happened, this was a solid win for us."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by klw Great summer dress Light weight soft fabric. Very comfortable dress. I feel it runs a wee bit large. Bought a large in the other color, kept it then bought this in medium. I could probably wear a small in this one. Great summer dress. 6.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by curtisse Perfect maxi dress for petites I am 5'3" and this dress hit me at such a nice spot. Right at my feet but not brushing the floor. It is comfortable and the black floral is beautiful. I ordered a size down and it fits comfortably. I wore it with the straps and with a chambray open and tied at my waist. Very flattering. Will order another color also. 6.13.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lilit97 casual well its a nice everyday dress. runs tts. i personally prefer it strapless but being a busty girl i cant afford the look. what i really wanna say to u FP is-why dont u expand the colour range? on a different site i found 2 more interesting colours! but they dont ship to my area. im pretty sure ladies on here would appreciate it, myself included. everyone always needs a nice everyday dress. or several in different colours:) 6.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by daisymtngirl Gorgeous, Versatile, Must Have Dress!! Can't say enough good things about this dress! It's beautiful, great quality fabric and construction, true to size, comfortable (with or without straps), and you should probably order both colors. :) One thing that really stands out to me is the length of the smocked top -- it is terrific. Many times a dress of this nature will have a smocked top that is too short, creating an unflattering, tent-like shape. This is perfect! 5.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Easy Wear I purchased this in the black combo, and the gorgeous vivid colors just jump off of the black background! Florals usually overwhelm me, but this print does not. I'm a petite at 5'2" and the XSmall touches the floor when I'm barefoot, so it will be fine with a little heel. The other reviewers aren't kidding when they say that the fabric is super soft, drapes so well, covers all figure flaws, and feels so comfortable on. This is the perfect maxi dress to get you through spring and into summer. 5.2.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by julisbox beautiful dress I read the reviews before buying this dress and they were all telling the truth..the dress is so incredibly soft and the pattern is so boho and lovely with bright, vivid colors. I am 5'4 and the dress fits perfectly in length if I wear an inch high heel. I am 160 pounds and a 38C and a large fit perfectly. The only bummer is that the elastic isn't tight enough on the top so I will always have to wear the straps. This dress is well made and is sure to bring you compliments. It looks great alone or with a light sweater . I like the ruffling down the dress and the cut at the top as well. It is pricey but then again everything from Free People is! 4.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by itlnchik Awesome! I just got this dress in the mail...as other reviewers said, the material is very silky and soft without the annoying clingy feeling...it is extremely flattering for a maxi dress!!! Usually maxi dresses make me look frumpy but the tiered layers in this dress fit and flatter! I got a size S (which i tend to size down in dresses esp from fp) I'm 5'6, 36D hourglass fig...I definitely recommend this dress to any of you debating whether or not to purchase! I can't wait to wear it this spring/summer! Get this dress!! =) 4.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by firethorn Rad Summer Dress Really rad dress! I purchased it in L. I tend to wear either a M or L in FP...but when the item is more fitted in the hips I always go with a L. The L was spot on (39-29-39). It's not quite as long on me as in the picture but I am 5'11 so no surprise for me. It hits just at the top of my ankle. The fabric is so soft and the pattern is very pretty though it is not a vibrant as pictured...I would say it looks more vintage. I like that you have the option to wear the straps or go strapless. The fabric on top isn't very snug as some other reviews mentioned but I haven't had any issues. Wish it came in more colors...I would be very tempted to buy another! 4.10.2013

so...i know i should just read all the info i can find for the info but ill ask you instead: does this mean you can now have a single player experience in this game?
i play A LOT, way more than 95% of the people out there, and i have to say that has kept me from playing this game. even if i could get people to play with me (real friends) i would out level them so fast it would be over in a weekend. much as i would love to play it, i cant see paying to play a game according to other peoples schedules.

I have been playing since Beta. Mainly because I have a core group in my guild that I have no problems grouping with and I can get join pug groups with ease.
Answering a couple of your questions. 1. no to cloaks showing. yeah i wiish. 2. The last mod has a great new area. It could use a few more quests in my opinion. but that is wishful thinking. Probably because turbine is wrapped up in the lord of the rings game. YES TURBINE PAY MORE ATTENTION TO DDO.
This is still not a single player game. Although some do try and make it though some though stuff solo. And ddo did make some areas easy for solo. The rental toons probably will make it ok for solo play up to high level dungeons but not raids. For the power gamer in a post above. You simply find a power gamer guild and join it. Believe me, you are not alone in being a power gamer that plays ddo. DDO has made some recent raids where u really have to farm it for the items you want (u cant just do once and be done).
This game is still mostly based on groups and friends. Although in the last couple of months our guild now has adult's parents join. Yes retired parents now play with their middle aged kids. One was devoted wow player and has now dropped wow because he loves ddo better. Another is a retired mom who was a pen and paper player and now plays ddo daily.
DDO has its down side. and could use some more enchancements. Like Druid and half orc on the horizon I believe. But it is still the best fighting system out for a MMO and you don't get much of the annoying kid tying to challenge your toon like you do in other mmos (except in taverns where u can choose to fight other toons).

Quick correction: the owners of the D&D franchise/intellectual property is Wizards of The Coast, not Games Workshop.

DDO is obviously not the game for you. DDO was built around D&D, there's no concept of *solo* in the D&D lore thus DDO will alway be all about grouping. You can solo some upper level quests ... only if you are a pretty solid player (which makes it a more rewarding experience if you DO manage to solo a lvl 16-17 quest w/o cheating/exploits).
I played DDO for about a year-and-change and after doing everything there is to do (Greensteel items, all raids, 1750 favor, rolling a new 32-point build, etc) the game just became tedious. I left the game for couple of months and came back exclucively because of the previews of Mod 8.
I've got to say that I'm fairly impressed. The new character creation environment is very, very intuitive and will help the novice player avoid creating gimped toons -- which *WAS* very easy to do in DDO if you didn't know what you were doing. The new tutorial zone, the new village and new wilderness zones are simply put top notch! Visually appealing, challenging and entertaining. Last night, I was able to create a brand new toon (an evasion pally), run all the new zones, wilderness areas and all the quests all by myself (granted, I'm by no means a new player). They added very nice (IMO) level-appropriate loot and quest rewards. The quests and the new Korthos Island wilderness zone were generally more challending than the ones in the Korthos village. There were about half-a-dozen groups looking for more lowbies to group with throughout the night (this definitely helps if you're a completely new player). I really like the new area ... a lot. I have maxxed out toons that are ready for the new high level content, but I was SO excited and pumped about the newbie area that I decided to give those high-level toons a much deserved rest.
This *IS* what DDO should've been from the start, and even though I think Turbine has hit it in the "sweet spot" with Mod 8; however, I'm honestly worried that it might be too late for the game to gain any real traction to attract new and returning players.

So yep DDO has plenty of soloing, it just isn't spoon fed without challenge.
Some people have soloed raid bosses, the fact the combat allows you to actively dodge and the game has some pretty decent physics, arrows actually have paths and can hit other players or mobs if they move in to its path, and scenery if you move out of the way (no LoS check and then it homes in on you even through walls). So it doesn't have to be just a game of mob has y moves, I have x, x beats y, move on to next mob. With a bit of planning you can defeat mobs with challenge ratings well above your level, or the opposite.

I'm positive about what I play. If it ends & I get negative, I move on. This is how we not troll.
Hi guys. As a 'still not very experienced' player (max character level 5 , but I play more than one character), I want to address some topics which you spoke of - soloing in DDO and 'this is party game' thing. Why? Because I never had any problems with it :).
You know, I solo very often. From various reasons - I'm not antisocial and love playing in groups. I just don't have much time to play, sometimes. I'm a former and long time Guild Wars, WoW, Ultima Online and many other MMOG player, and... DDO is totally owns these games for me ;). I even played WAR and can play it still, but I prefer DDO. WAR is no match to DDO, for me - even PVP doesn't impress me in WAR.
I play on DDO EU. My first character was Wizard - if you want to solo, this is a class for Pro Gamers ;). If you like challenge, there you go. Off course, with these new hirelings everything will be much easier (DDO EU will get Mod8 in 1-2 weeks, probably), but I 'm level 5 and solo even on Elite sometimes ;). And I don't see why I couldn't solo up to max level cap. But I love grouping even more, so there's no need.
But when you play, for example, a Ranger... Soloing is like bread and butter to me :). It's fun, and challenging on higher difficulties (in DDO you can unlock difficulties from Solo up to Elite, and get better loot each time).
Mod 8 to me looks awesome. But that's not all... Turbine officially revealed that they intend to revamp all the levels of experience. So, now we have starter area and revamped Harbor (lev 1-4 max), but in future, they will revamp areas for next levels. And so on. That's their plan. And showing how they improve quality now, I can't wait for future revamps, especially while they add high level content at the same time.
So, don't think much, just come and play :). It IS different to WoW clones. But once you get it, you'll never need any WoW clones :). Turbine is probably most 'adventurous' and innovative MMO company out there, so be prepared for unexpected.
PS: My friend is leaving WoW for DDO today :).
I usually solo n-h-e (normal-hard-elite) all harbor quests (even water works 1-3) and love the challenge on hard and the very close calls on elite. I can solo most lvl 4-6 quests in the market place and houses (and even necropolis). Around level 8 though, quests become very tough to solo and require you are well prepared (wands, scrolls, potions) and have a good plan and you know the quest very well (for instance, soloing Stormcleave at lvl 7 or 8) is doable but very tough and almost impossible if you've never done that quest before. And the higher the level, the more mobs and the smarter the AI you get. My maxxed out sorc can solo some Gianthold stuff even on elite ... but only because I've grinded those quests to death and can almost run in on auto-pilot :) Then in the Orchard you get nasty undead mobs of all sorts (and casters and clerics have the upperhand in this area) and you can technically solo *some* of them but you'd be lucky if you don't have to rez out and (hopefully you summoned a pet to keep the instance open for ya). The vale quests ... very tough to solo and have only heard a handfull of credible accounts of soloing them.
I did play WAR (from open beta as a matter of fact), but that game is mindless compared to DDO. RvR is fun ... but when that's all you do all night long, day-after-day ... it just gets REALLY annoying and boring. So going back to DDO and more so with mod 8 coming was awesome.

You hardly get any second chances anymore. That's just a sad fact!
Just look at Vanguard. Has come around nicely, but will never get enough subs anymore to really improve the game and add a big chunk of content through an expansion pack.
Same with Age of Conan. Lost so many subs in the first 3 months. Now Gaute is gone and the new director on it. It seems the game is slowly steering in the right way. But it will never recover.
Warhammer Online is now following the same faith if Mythic isn't going to come with some serious and miraclous patches. Or they going to lose a lot more subs then they think.
With DDO, it was never about the gameplay. The game was quite polished and decent when it launched.
It was the excessive instancing that ticked of most of the players. You had no connection with the gameworld due to all the loading screens and people spread out so much over all the various instances of the same small zone!

I'm positive about what I play. If it ends & I get negative, I move on. This is how we not troll.
That's ok Toord . I will have to check it at higher levels. But with these new hirelings, I think it will be much easier. The only problem which I had was the lack of healing. I bought many pots, and then it's great. But it's very expensive sometimes, if you play wizard. But now, you can take a healer with you, and this can change gameplay entirely.
And if I need strong arm (tank), to just stay away from big damage dealers and blast them with spells, I can hire warrior / barbarian .
I'm not that sceptiacal too. I think, at least in DDO EU, there is large number of newcomers. When Mod8 will come live on EU, I don't think opening new servers will be just 'wishfull thinking'.
Firstly, I believe in the power of Community. If you love this game, just say it. Don't discourage anybody, because there's something you don't like (as everywhere). Others may love it .
You know, the biggest problem of DDO now is the lack of 'commercial' advertising. Seems like Atari's problems totally stopped it. Turbine, DDO developer, do what they can on gencons, on sites like this (mmorpg.com), but that's not paid space. So I think only Atari has the right to spend money advertising DDO. Or WotC, but I don't understand why they wouldn't do it if they could. License is license.
DDO is great game already. The biggest problem is that people don't know about it, or think it's some WoW clone like WAR or LotrO. And finding out that it's totally different can be too hard for WoWers.
So, this should be advertised, but WISELY. DDO has some clear, very strong points, and IS an original game. So whoever can advertise it, could interest people in the "DDO MMO way". In other words, show how this game is better than WoW clones and why we it has as dedicated player base, as it has. This really means something and I think, making DDO very popular is really doable... but needs some marketing investment.

It's sad, it took so long for Turbine to repair what Ken Troop did to the game, now that it's ready...its just too late to gain any significant subscription base. Meanwhile LOTRO is doing astoundingly good, WAR nor AoC really affected it's sub base, and honestly I don't see anything in the works that will tear players away. I think we will contine to see LOTRO make steady growth, while DDO sadly declines further.

I don't thinks so, because now it looks like Turbine brings more attention to DDO. Rember GenCon? DDO was main Turbine game there, LotrO was second. I don't say we'll see DDO instantly rising 'to power', but knowing that developers made a plan to revamp probably all of this game, it must mean something.
There is Mod9 in the works even now, half-orcs coming together with half-elves, then druids. And there's this mysterious project Turbine keeps in secret development, called, nomen-omen, "Vast and Mysterious". All this, along with new Turbine staff and quality revamp going up from lowest levels, builds up an impression that something's changing.
We'll see. DDO is a tricky and probably most advanced MMO out there, I don't think Turbine would want to lose such a gem. And they put it straight - DDO teams has grown since the start, and no one thinks about closing the project. Yeah, it looks like this for me now.

This is the only game I've found that's been able to keep me interested besides the pre-cu version of Star Wars Galaxies. Why this is might be due to the incredible level of dynamics that are availble to players when they work on created their characters. The crafting is more of a loot/collection type of system, but that's realy no different then other MMO's besides DDO offering more options then A B or C, it's more like A through Z !!
I liked the Realm Vs Realm in Warhammer, but the characters are so terribally generic that there's no option to customize them to your playstyle since you have to modify how you play to to suit them instead; want to play a Fighter who can cast spells - Multi class in ddo! WoW seemed like a simple Fetch 10 rat tails kind of environment and everything, including the playstyle, felt plain, and if you like PvE it's all about "pulling" a single mob so you can button mash on it - that's not strategy! Age of Conan was broken beyond belief and suffered from horrendous game play issues.
If anyone is a fan of strategy games and likes to be challenged with puzzles and dynamics then DDO is for them. Nothing funner then to create a unique charactre multi classed by up to three different classes that can cast spells, shield block vs an attacker, roll out of the way of a fireball, avoid a trap, climb the latter then run and jump to grab a ledge while contending with Mobs while trying to hide in shadows to sneak past them - game play can be very intense! The only downside to this game is that it was quite lackluster when it launched which is almost impossible to identify as it exists now.
p.s. The new area in the snow with the Frost Giants is fricken awesome!!

Sept. 20, 2011 -- The better a man's erections before prostate cancer treatment, the more likely he is to recover the ability to have erections later.
Martin G. Sanda, MD, and colleagues followed 1,027 men for two years after prostate cancer treatment. The researchers focused on the men's ability to have erections. They evaluated which factors helped to predict that.
''The key factor influencing how men did long term is how men did before treatment," Sanda says. He is director of the Prostate Care Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.
"That may seem like a no-brainer," he tells WebMD.
However, he says his new study is one of the first to help predict, scientifically, what men can expect in terms of sexual recovery after prostate cancer treatment.
By evaluating different treatments and characteristics, Sanda has developed a prediction model. It can be used by doctors and patients to help predict sexual recovery.
Besides pretreatment erections, he found that age, treatment type, and other factors affect sexual recovery.
About 240,000 men will get a prostate cancer diagnosis this year, according to the American Cancer Society. About 34,000 men will die this year from prostate cancer.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health. It is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Evaluating Sexual Function
The researchers evaluated men with prostate cancer who sought care from 2003 to 2006 at nine hospitals in the U.S.
The men were enrolled in the Prostate Cancer Outcomes and Satisfaction With Treatment Quality Assessment (PROSTQA).
In all, 1,027 completed the 24-month study. The men responded to telephone interviews and questionnaires at four different times during the two years.
The main outcome the researchers looked at were erections adequate for intercourse. The men answered such questions as: "How would you describe the usual quality of your erection during the last four weeks?"
Most of these men (524) had their prostate removed, called a prostatectomy. Another 241 had external beam radiation, and 262 had implantation of radioactive ''seeds" or brachytherapy.
Sexual Ability After Treatment
Two years after treatment, the researchers found that 37% of the men, overall, reported good erections. The men's ability to sustain an erection adequate for intercourse varied by the type of treatment. Overall, considering both the men who could and could not get a good erection before treatment, the researchers found:
- 35% of men who had prostate removal reported good erections two years later.
- 37% of men who had external radiation did.
- 43% of men who had radioactive seeds did.
When the researchers focused only on the men who reported having functional erections before treatment, they found that 48% of those men overall recovered that ability two years later.
By treatment, considering only those potent before:
- 40% of men who had surgery had erections again.
- 58% of men who had radiation did.
- 63% of men who had seeds did.
Younger men, those who had a better sexual functioning score before treatment, and those who had ''nerve-sparing" surgery (meant to help maintain the ability to keep an erection) were more likely to have adequate erections.
Those with lower levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) were also more likely to report good erections, Sanda found. The higher the PSA level, the more likely cancer is present. However, there are reasons other than prostate cancer for an increased PSA level.
It could be that men with lower PSA levels had less extensive cancer and were thus more likely to be able to get the ''nerve-sparing'' surgery, Sanda says.
The outlook could be better, he says, if more men would take advantage of medications and devices to help with erections. "We found that a surprisingly substantial number of patients who did have trouble with erections after treatment weren't using any medication or devices," Sanda says.
Those who did were helped, he says. For instance, 74% of those who used penile injections were helped.
Sanda says it's important to remember that the numbers he found for sexual recovery are just that. "Those numbers are averages, overall, for the group," he says.
Doctors can access the questionnaire he used, he says, and help patients know what to expect.
The prediction model is best used after treatment decisions, Sanda says. "There are bigger issues in deciding treatment, such as cancer control."
Choose Treatment First
While there have been other predictive studies, the new one is ''one of the strongest to date," says Michael J. Barry, MD, medical director of the John D. Stoeckle Center for Primary Care Innovation at Massachusetts General Hospital. He discloses that he serves as president of the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making.
He wrote an editorial to accompany the study.
One strength of the new study, he tells WebMD, is that the researchers looked at men treated at nine different hospitals.
If doctors use the approach, he says, it will give men an idea of what to expect based on their characteristics.
He agrees with the researchers that the prediction model is best used after a man has chosen a treatment.
Sanda reports a lecture honorarium from Eli Lily, but not for this study.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga Mocs (4-2/2-1) powered their way to a 31-9 Homecoming win over Furman (2-4/1-2) Saturday evening. It was a dominant performance on defense, while the rushing maintained its string of 200-yard efforts.
"Our stops were huge," Head Coach Russ Huesman said. "We threw the one pick, but we still held them to a field goal. Then we fumbled the kickoff and held them to another field goal. That was a great defensive effort.
"I'm proud of our defense," Huesman added. "I told A.J. Hampton and Muhasibi Wakeel what a great job they did out there. They were able to come in and play well for us."
Keon Williams (Chattanooga) and Jacob Huesman (Chattanooga) combined for 173 yards on the ground with three scores. Williams continued his power run through the Southern Conference with 101 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown. It's his fourth 100-yard game in his last five outings.
"I knew he was capable of doing this stuff," Coach Huesman stated. "I just wanted to see if he could do it consistently week-in and week-out. I'm awfully proud of him. He's a load out there."
Jacob Huesman found the end zone twice with 73 yards on 19 carries. The Mocs' 218 rushing yards mark five straight games topping 200 yards, a first since 2005.
As impressive as the rushing attack was, the defense topped it. It limited the Paladins to 189 yards of offense for the night including a mere 3.4 yards per play.
It started with UTC scoring on two of its first three drives, while just missing a third touchdown turning the ball over on downs at the one. Huesman from 12 yards and Kendrix Huitt (Atlanta, Ga.) from three made it 14-0. As dominant as the first quarter was for the Mocs, Furman was opportunistic in the second.
The Paladins scored on back-to-back possessions to cut the lead to 14-6. The first came off an interception, while the second drive was almost as immediate as the first as the kick team recovered a fumble on the return.
Chattanooga scored 10 points on the first two drives of the second half for a 24-6 advantage. Furman's Ray Early kicked his third field goal late in the third quarter to get within 24-9, but the Mocs held strong. Early was three-for-three on field goal attempts making them from 50, 31 and 43 yards out.
Kadeem Wise (Lawrenceville, Ga.) had a late interception he returned 31 yards to the Furman 14. Five plays later, Williams put the exclamation point on the Homecoming triumph.
"We knew this would be a hard game going in, but I think our guys played hard, played well and we're awfully proud of them," Huesman continued. "We had some big standout performances. I think we came out in the second half and played pretty error free."
The Mocs sacked Furman six times with Davis Tull (Knoxville, Tenn.) getting a career-high 3.5 sacks. He now has 23 in his career, one-half sack behind former teammate Josh Williams' (2009-12) school record. The defensive effort was big as Chattanooga is the first team to hold Furman without a touchdown since 2003 (Wofford 7-6).
The Paladins also received strong play defensively. Carl Rider had a game-high 16 tackles with two sacks. T.J. Warren added 11 stops with a fumble recovery. Furman tallied all three takeaways in the second quarter slowing the Mocs' fast start.
Marcus Anderson and Hank McCloud were offensive bright spots. The duo posted 134 yards on 26 carries with 72 and 62, respectively.
It's back to the road for the Mocs next week. The squad heads east to Elon for a 1:30 p.m., kickoff. Go to GoMocs.com football schedule page for links to video, live stats and more.

An Aiken man was scammed out of more than a quarter-million dollars, and the Aiken Department of Public Safety is warning residents to be wary of similar scamming operations.
The 72-year-old victim was contacted last August by a man claiming to be an attorney in London, who then put him in contact with an attorney in Ghana, according to the report. This supposed attorney told the victim he had a relative in Ghana that had recently died and left him $7.5 million, but, in order to claim the money, he had to pay "certain taxes and fees."
Over the next several months, the victim sent nearly $258,000 to various locations around the world at the request of these men, according to the report. The victim never saw a return and eventually decided he was being scammed. At a recent meeting with his accountant, he was advised to file a police report.
Lt. Karl Odenthal said as unfortunate as it is, the man likely won't recover any of the money. Further complicating the process of locating the scammers and recovering the money is the fact that they often call from outside the country, particularly in Canada or Nigeria.
"They're using a cellphone and calling (victims) up. You're chasing a ghost," he said. "Basically, what happens, they'll get a list of numbers and start calling people at random. It's not like they're targeting any one location or saying, 'Hey, we're gonna target Aiken today.' Wherever that number takes them is who they talk to. They hope they're going to get somebody who's going to listen."
The story used by the scammer varies from case to case.
"They'll tell (the victim) they won the lottery," he said. "Another one we've had, someone called and said their relative had been arrested, and they needed so much money for bond."
A Beech Island man recently reported that he received a check for more than $3,800 from a company based in Texas; however, the check had a Canadian postmark. He noted that the check appeared authentic and even had a watermark, but a bank official determined it was fake.
Odenthal said Aiken Public Safety has seen those kinds of cases as well, and the scammers often ask the victim to mail a portion of the money back to them.
"A lot of the banks will tell them it's a scam when they try to cash it," he said. "They'll deposit that check, get the money and then two weeks later the check will come back as no good and they're out of the money."
It's difficult for local agencies like Aiken Public Safety to solve such crimes, according to Odenthal.
"We have no means of putting somebody on the ground to track it down," he said, adding that victims are encouraged to complete a report and possibly recover some of their lost money.
Odenthal advised residents not to provide money or account information, including Social Security numbers, over the phone or the Internet unless it's a verified secure connection.
"If it sounds too good to be true, it is. People don't just give away money," he said. "We all have a sense of, 'Hey, this is easy money,' and that's what their draw is. Easy money isn't just out there."

I have been thinking a small ring mauser with a 16" barrel and downsized stock and other features would make pretty slick little carbine. (even for my self) I havent seen any really good deals on small ring mausers or the actions for a while. are there any out there???????
I was thinking about a pump on a AK reciver and it occured to me that It would need to have locking lugs. its also been occuring to me that the rivets or screws that hold the trunion in On a blow back system deal with a much more considerable load than a gas operated gun. as they are seeing what ever it takes to push the bolt back going the oposite direction.

RobotShop recently introduced their social network for robots called MyRobots. By allowing devices to pass messages to cloud services, MyRobots allows for interesting interactions among things and people. The idea is to make robots social and provide their information in context with how we like to communicate with each other.
"Soon, I will be able connect to the robots in my home, and MyRobots will provide me with their current status such as if all is well, they have a problem or even if they require maintenance. MyRobots will inform me in real-time of any action I need to take, thus facilitating the coexistence and communication between mankind and these increasingly intelligent machines." -Mario Tremblay, RobotShop CEO
Internet of Things Scale
Social networking services like Twitter process over 200 million Tweets a day and when everyday objects and robots come online in the way that we see it, this number will be crushed. RobotShop built their new platform on top of ThingSpeak which is a highly scalable infrastructure for the Internet of Things created by ioBridge. ThingSpeak is open source and enables devices to interact with social networks, store data, send status updates, and track location all in real-time.
"We are excited that RobotShop selected ThingSpeak as the platform on which to build their innovative MyRobots portal. ThingSpeak is ioBridge's open source Internet of Things cloud service. This partnership goes hand-in-hand with ioBridge's vision of helping people benefit from being able to interact with a community of smart things" -Dr. Robert Mawrey, ioBridge CEO
MyRobots Platform
RobotShop's domain knowledge is robots. By taking their passion for robots and pushing their ideas, they will make it very easy for robot manufactures to add the cloud, add engagement, and draw in consumers. They are well positioned with their knowledge and love of all things robot to create a successful cloud robotics platform that makes it look easy on the outside, while doing the heavy lifting on the inside.
'Open' for Business
MyRobots leveraged ThingSpeak to provide their platform an instant API. APIs are a way that developers can extend and interact with your system and come up with new things that you may not have originally planned for. Opening up APIs, providing source code, and letting others access data, will generate a new crop of users and ideas. And, new ideas are what the Internet of Things needs to be successful or we will see the momentum die out like we saw home automation die out 12 years ago.
In the article, "The Google Rush Toward Internet of Things", Dana Blankenhorn, says "An open API would enable start-ups like Thingworx, for instance, bring electric utilities to the party. It lets companies like ioBridge bring cloud robotics to the party." And, we agree. We could not have predicted that Roomba's and robots would be using our technology to interact with each other. This is the awesome side effect of being 'open' for business and we are so thrilled that RobotShop brought a new idea to the table.

Hi everyone!!
Sorry I haven't had a chance to update since I last posted a couple days after Bella was born. It's been craziness with a newborn and a toddler at home but the a good kind of craziness, lol!!! As I posted before, Bella was born April 23rd at 34 weeks gestation. Today, June 4th is actually my due date. She was six weeks early due to preeclampsia. My first daughter Gianna was born at 34 weeks also due to preeclampsia. I saddens me that history repeated itself. But I am blessed my girls are healthy. Bella spent 7 days in the nicu and on may 1st we were able to bring her home.
Bella is 6 weeks today. When she was born she weighted 4 lbs. 14 oz. and measured 18.5 inches long.she now weights 6 lbs. 7oz.. She is healthy and doing great. She has been experiencing these twitches while she is sleeping. We feared she was having seizures.. We took her to children's hospital were they admitted her and did an EEG. She was diagnosed with benign neonatal sleep myoclonus. Anyone ever hear of this? She should outgrow it in a coupe months.
Other than that she is doing wonderful. Gianna is a great big sis and want to help me out!! I am sitting here right now with Bella sleeping on me and Gianna sitting next to us and I just thank god that even though my pregnancy with both my children was very tuff physically and emotionally, I am so blessed to have 2 healthy beautiful children. It's asham that preeclampsia had to show its ugly face in both my pregnancys. That's way I am counting my blessings with both my girls and we decided that we will not have any more children.
I wanted to also thank everyone who read my previous posts and help me thru my difficult pregnancy. Having a forum to go to and talk to women that went thru the same thing as I was going thru was very comforting. I appreciate all the kind words and encouraging posts.

Spartan Stadium was filled with more than 200 people Friday for CAO Head Start's third annual Laps for Books event.
Kim Johnson, Parent Involvement Manager of Scioto County Head Start said they look forward to hosting the event each year.
"Today is our third annual Laps for Books, for each lap that they take around they can get one book up to five laps," Johnson said.
Mayor David Malone opened Laps for Books, welcoming the parents and encouraged them to continue to read with their children.
Johnson said the purpose of the event is to promote healthy lifestyles.
"We have the opportunity show parents different gross motor activities that they can do with their children, to keep their bodies strong and healthy," Johnson said.
Johnson also said the purpose of Laps for Books is to promote literacy.
"We want to get a book in every child's hand every chance we get. We start with books to help our students to acquire a love for reading, so that it will carry on with them throughout their lives," Johnson said.
Local agencies were present, such as the Health Department, SOLACE, Care Source, the Portsmouth Public Library and the OSU Extension Office.
The agencies brought resources and information for the parents to review.
The teaching staff of Scioto County Head Start setup activity stations for the students to engage in.
Another component of the Laps for Books event was the discussion of bullying.
According to Sharon Sherman, an Education Manager for the Scioto County Head Start, the program received a grant.
"We attended a workshop that taught us how to prepare grants and it was all based on domestic violence. There were different components that we could choose from to do our grant, and we chose bullying" Sherman said.
Sherman said they chose to work with bullying because it is becoming so prevalent.
"We are hoping that starting at an early age, we can make a real impact on the children as the grow up. We also want to make an impact upon the parents because they are the first role models," Sherman said.
Carla Womack, an Educator of Scioto County Head Start, lead the parents in a chant about bullying.
"Take a stand, lend a hand, stop bullying now," Womack said.
The crowd chanted these words as they walked around the track, and held up anti-bullying signs.
Free lunch was also provided for the attendees, consisting of fried chicken, green beans, potatoes and cole slaw.
The event also included a balloon launch.

Why can't they make the conditioner they put in the at home dye kits as conditioners by themselves. They usually smell amazing and provide tons of moisture.

Google's street-level imagery added to Google Maps last week stirred a lot of controversy. Even though the idea is far from new (Amazon's A9 and Microsoft included something similar in the last 2 years), Google's new features received much more press coverage and attention.
Google obtained most of the images from Immersive Media, except for California, where Google got its own images using the van pictured below, in a mirror reflection.
A lot of sites started to gather interesting images found in Google Maps (StreetViewr, Wired, Mashable, davidsterry.com) and the questions about privacy started to rise. Mary Kalin-Casey appeared in New York Times because she saw something very personal in Google Maps: "Monty, her cat, sitting on a perch in the living room window of her second-floor apartment". "The issue that I have ultimately is about where you draw the line between taking public photos and zooming in on people's lives. The next step might be seeing books on my shelf. If the government was doing this, people would be outraged," she said. The image is unclear and the cat is barely visible, but Ms. Casey was shocked to see a photo anyone could've taken, available online.
A Google representative explained that "Street View only features imagery taken on public property. This imagery is no different from what any person can readily capture or see walking down the street." Google also lets you remove inappropriate images, images that infringe on your privacy or present personal security concerns: just click on the help link and flag the current image. Apparently, this does work (here's the image that was removed for the location below - NSFW).
As proud as the Google Maps team may be of the wider coverage of its service, people are concerned about being spotted in strange, funny, or even illegal situations.
Some even suggest to add support for a special "robots.txt" banner. Or maybe we'll all realize that these are mere side-effects of a useful tool that lets you explore a city without being there, or take a virtual walk to a famous place.

The Gunners have been considered as front-runners for the Argentine striker since it emerged that he could be tempted into a move away from the Spanish capital.
Arsene Wenger is believed to have been given the green light to bring established names to Emirates Stadium this summer, with Manchester United's Wayne Rooney also linked to Arsenal.
However, Juventus are rivalling the North London club in the race to sign 25-year-old Higuain, who scored 16 goals in 28 La Liga appearances last season.
According to speculation, Higuain had agreed personal terms with Arsenal but his father, Jorge Higuain, has indicated that his son could also still move to Juventus.
"Nothing has been signed yet but I can assure you there are advanced talks between the clubs," said Higuain senior in the Mail on Sunday.
"We wouldn't arrange any personal contract before the clubs agree for the transfer. I'm aware Arsenal has made a strong offer, as well as Juventus."

Thirsty Houligans lament 'Xmas in Jail' on CDWritten by Jordan Finney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"Xmas in Jail" — Thirsty Houligans' contribution to the American Red Cross benefit CD "Red, White & You, Too!" — boasts a country flair that ventures to the fringe of the band's trademark music style. They call it "Rust Belt Folk 'n' Roll," a blend of Irish and Appalachian folk, alternative rock, old-school country and rockabilly.
"It's a little different than most of the stuff we do — [it] leans more toward country, but I'm really happy with how it turned out," said Mic Graves.
Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller, who produced the benefit CD, said the Houligans' song inspired the "Christmas in July" portion of the CD.
"I loved the track but it didn't fit with the [TFP Make-A-Wish benefit CD] holiday theme," Miller said. "Put-in-Bay's Christmas in July is a fun part of summer, so pairing the Houligans with the Extra Stout version of 'Christmas in Killarney' struck me as a quirky and fun touch."
The lyrics describe how the ex-wife of a "bad old boy" nags him on Christmas Eve about a past mistake, namely spending Christmas in a county jail after getting arrested for drunk driving.
"The lyrics are nothing from personal experience, but everybody knows somebody like that, at least I do," Graves said.
"I wrote the song on a spring or summer afternoon a few years ago sitting on a sofa in Tokyo, Japan. I don't know why. Maybe I was feeling a little homesick."
Graves said he never noticed anything spectacular about Toledo until he left it behind to live in Tokyo for nine years.
After deciding to come back to the Glass City, Graves introduced "Xmas in Jail" to one of his former bands but it didn't go anywhere. After bringing the Toledo-inspired song to Thirsty Houligans, it was an immediate hit.
"People really like it. Some of the guys would like to play that song at every concert, but I have this thing about confining Christmas songs to Christmas," Graves said.
"Xmas in Jail" is one of Thirsty Houligans' many original compositions. The five-man band also plays popular covers.
The members of Thirsty Houligans feel ecstatic that "Xmas in Jail" will be "part of something bigger" as a part of "Red, White & You, Too!," Graves said.
The CD is available at all local Frisch's Big Boy and Ralphie's restaurants for $10, which includes a $4 coupon to those eateries. One hundred percent of sales goes to the American Red Cross of Northwest of Ohio.

CLERMONT, Fla.-The Chattanooga Lady Mocs softball team (1-3) claimed its first win of the season with a 6-4 win over the Long Island Blackbirds (0-3) at Dot Richardson's National Training Center Invitational in Clermont, Fla. Chattanooga dropped its second game of the afternoon, falling to Virginia Tech (3-1) 7-5.
Chattanooga 6 - Long Island 4
The Lady Mocs fell behind quickly to the Blackbirds as Long Island scored a run in the first and three runs in the second, putting Chattanooga into a 4-0 deficit.
Redshirt freshman Jenny Garcia (Miami, Fla.) got the start for Chattanooga but was chased after one inning. The young pitcher gave up back-to-back doubles and hit a batter in the first inning before hitting a second batter in the second inning. Freshman Kaisey Carson (Indianapolis, Ind.) was brought on in relief and Garcia took over in left field, but Carson would not have any better luck against the Blackbirds' bats.
Carson faced just five batters in one-third inning, surrendering a hit, run and two walks. Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) entered the second inning with the bases loaded. The sophomore was able to get out of the inning on the next play- a double-play to end the three-run frame for Long Island.
Although held scoreless through two innings, Chattanooga's bats came alive in the third inning as back-to-back walks issued to Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) and Anyssa Robles (Hoschton, Ga.) put runners on with one out. An infield single from Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) loaded the bases and Garcia delivered with a 2-RBI double to cut the Long Island lead in half.
Chattanooga struck again in the fourth, pulling the score to 4-3. A Robles groundout brought senior Sara Poteat in from third, but the Lady Mocs took a permanent lead in the fifth inning. Freshman Alyssa Taylor (Orange, Calif.) tied the game 4-4 with an RBI single to centerfield to begin the scoring inning. Junior Stephanie Rieck singled up the middle just two at-bats later, driving in Taylor. After a pitching change by the Blackbirds, a passed ball allowed Poteat to score from third base to cap the Lady Mocs scoring.
Deason picked up her first win in the relief appearance, going 5.2 innings and giving up just one hit. The Clarksville, Tenn. native allowed only three walks while striking out 10 batters.
Poteat was 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and a walk, and Garcia accounted for two Chattanooga RBIs. Rieck, Robles and Taylor each drove in one run.
Chattanooga 5 - Virginia Tech 7
The Lady Mocs suffered their third loss of the season in a tight game with the ACC's Virginia Tech Hokies. UTC fell behind quickly again in the first inning. Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) got the start for Chattanooga but ran into trouble in the first and second innings. Two hits accounted for a run in the first inning, but two more hits in the top of the second put the Lady Mocs down 3-0.
Chattanooga came storming back in the bottom half of the second with three runs on three hits and two Virginia Tech miscues. With the bases loaded, Taylor turned a pitch around and drove it to centerfield, driving in two runs to draw UTC within one run of the lead. During the next at-bat, a passed ball and throwing error allowed Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil) to score all the way from second base.
After a scoreless third inning, the Hokies answered back with four runs in the fourth inning to retake the lead 7-3. Chattanooga was able to hold Virginia Tech scoreless for the rest of the game, but the Lady Mocs' game of catch-up fell just short.
UTC tacked on two runs in the sixth inning when junior Tyler Templet (Woodstock, Ga.) reached on an error, causing Garcia and Roberts to score from second and third base, but the two runs would not be enough to take a late lead.
Deason was handed the loss, bringing her record to 1-2 on the young season. The sophomore pitched five innings, allowing just seven hits and four runs.
Roberts was 3-for-4 at the plate against the Hokies, scoring two runs. Taylor's two RBI's were her second and third runs driven in on the season.
Chattanooga wraps up the weekend Sunday morning at 9 a.m. as it faces off against the Fordham Rams (3-1). Fordham's first win of the season came against UTC Friday evening, taking the matchup 6-5 over the Lady Mocs. Fordham has since taken victories over Long Island and Virginia Tech. The Rams lone loss of the season came against Southern Illinois Saturday afternoon.
