Last minute shopping means extended hours for some stores
Sun, 22 Dec 2013 21:56:25 GMT —
The clock continues to wind down with Christmas just three days away and those who are buying last minute gifts are not alone.
According to the National Retail Federation, as of last week, only half of Americans finished shopping.
One of those last minute shoppers includes Kim Hollandsworth.
"All of a sudden you go, oh my gosh, here it is, December and it's a frenzy because Thanksgiving was later than it normally is," Hollandsworth explained.
Hollandsworth is shopping with her son and she's hoping to cross a few more last minute items off her Christmas list.
"It's nuts and those last minute bargains and those last minute I want this because I've seen it all on television, got to run out and get it, I mean what am I going to do, let my kids down?"
Like a number of other stores all over the Grand Strand and in the Pee Dee, the Best Buy in Myrtle Beach extended their holiday hours just to accommodate so many last minute shoppers.
They opened up at 7 a.m. Sunday instead of their regular time at 10 a.m. They will close at midnight.

TOYOTA, AICHI PREF. – Overnight leader Rikako Morita captured her second win of the season on Sunday and returned to the top of the money rankings, despite carding a 2-over-par 74 in the final round of the Chukyo TV Ladies.
Morita, winner of the season-opening Daikin Orchid Ladies, had an up-and-down front nine of two birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey at Chukyo Golf Club's Ishino course.
But the 23-year-old parred all nine holes after the turn, and that proved to be good enough for a one-shot win over South Korea's Jeon Mi Jeong, who shot a 68.
"I went out of bounds on the sixth hole and could not get any birdies (on the back nine) so it was a struggle," said Morita. "It is the first time I have ever been so nervous."
"It felt different to when I have previously gone into the final day in the lead. I'll try and get a better score on the final day of the next tournament."
Morita, who finished at 8-under 208 for her fourth career title, earned ¥12.6 million to leapfrog Miki Saiki back to the top of the money standings.

ISG15 is an interferon (IFN)-α/β-inducible, ubiquitin-like intracellular protein. Its conjugation to various proteins (ISGylation) contributes to antiviral immunity in mice. We describe human patients with inherited ISG15 deficiency and mycobacterial, but not viral diseases. The lack of intracellular ISG15 production and protein ISGylation was not associated with cellular susceptibility to any viruses tested, consistent with the lack of viral diseases in these patients. By contrast, the lack of mycobacterium-induced ISG15 secretion by leukocytes—granulocytes in particular—reduced the production of IFN-γ by lymphocytes, including natural killer cells, probably accounting for the enhanced susceptibility to mycobacterial disease. This experiment of nature shows that human ISGylation is largely redundant for antiviral immunity, but that ISG15 plays an essential role as an IFN-γ–inducing secreted molecule for optimal antimycobacterial immunity.

The makers and promoters of the patronizing "Baseball Boyfriends" app have an appreciation of women and baseball that apparently froze in the 1950s. Donna Reed is dead'long live the female stathead.
Baseball has always had an ambivalent relationship with its female audience, often assuming they had to be catered to or patronized to stoke their interest in the game. For those marketing the game, it often seems as if the idealized image of the distaff fan is not the modern woman, whose adherence to received, stereotypical notions of gender roles erodes by the day, but Ruth Ann Steinhagen, the schizophrenic who, obsessed with Phillies first baseman Eddie Waitkus, lured him into a trap and tried to murder him in 1949. Women, in their view, see ballplayers as sex objects as much or more than they do as athletes involved in a competition that can hold their interest for its own sake. This seems to be the reasoning behind Baseball Boyfriends, a "fantasy" game aimed at women and girls in which participants "pick a new hottie or hang onto you hunk." [sic]
Steinhagen, 19, had been fixated on Waitkus since seeing him play for the Cubs in 1947, making a shrine of his pictures and clippings and conducting an imaginary relationship with him. She had no interest in the game, she said, until she began to focus on Waitkus. "I just became nuttier and nuttier about the guy," she later testified, "[I decided] if I can't have him nobody can. And then I decided I would kill him." On June 14, 1949, the Phillies were in Chicago. Steinhagen took a room in the Phillies' hotel and had a note delivered to the first sacker: "Mr. Waitkus, It is extremely important that I see you as soon as possible. We're not acquainted, but I have something of importance to speak to you about." After calling and being put off for half an hour, Waitkus appeared at Steinhagen's room. According to her own testimony:
At the time I had a knife in my skirt pocket and was going to use that on him. When I opened the door he came rushing past me. I expected him to stand there and wait until I asked him to come in and during that time I was going to stab him with the knife. I was kind of mad that he came right in and sat down and didn't give me a chance to stab him. He looked at me surprised and said, "What do you want to see me about?" I said, "Wait a minute. I have a surprise for you."

Back in 2003, just after Toronto GM J.P. Ricciardi had cut over 20 million from Toronto's payroll and was still managing to moneyball his way to an 86 win season, some members of the Toronto press foolishly accused him of racism. The accusations, which concerned the racial make-up of the team, were so crudely conceived and without basis in reality that they are not worth going into here, but, ironically, Riccardi was so concerned with finding undervalued players at the time that he'd have surely gone after a certain race if those players were devalued simply because of their skin color. In other words, he'd have loved nothing better than to pick up all the best Negro League players in 1940.

Cleaning with Norwex saves time for Penny Zimny
by Jennie Zeitler, Staff Writer
Penny Zimny never pictured herself getting away from using chemicals to clean her Royalton home, but once she started using Norwex products she observed the "no chemical" smell in her home.
"I was the 'Queen of Chemicals'; I thought that the more cleaners I sprayed on, the cleaner something would be," she said.
But she was truly hooked when she cleaned her east-facing patio windows.
"They always streaked, no matter what I used. When I used Norwex products, they were so clean, it didn't even look like there was glass," she said. "I remember my mom cleaning all the windows inside and out twice a year; it took hours. I cleaned all of mine in half an hour."
Zimny first saw Norwex products being used when a consultant smeared Vaseline on a mirror and wiped it off completely.
"I was amazed," she said. "I bought the basic package."
Zimny praises the performance of the envirocloth, which will "literally clean anything. Each fiber is 1/200 of the size of a human hair," she said. "Micro silver is woven in with the microfibers. Using only water, they remove everything from a surface."
Using Norwex has saved Zimny up to 75 percent of her cleaning time.
"Everybody is busy, but Norwex has made a huge difference," she said. "I do a lot less laundry than I did before. Dish cloths, wash cloths and cleaning cloths are just rinsed out and hung up."
Zimny also notes that dirt and grease are trapped in the cleaning cloth's microfibers, which does not come out and smear something else. There is no cross-contamination.
She also got used to a simply clean smell. It used to be that when her kids came home after she'd been cleaning, they would ask, "what's that smell?"
"Most people associate clean with a lemon, pine or flowery scent," Zimnys aid. "But clean doesn't have a smell; clean is just clean."
Since her husband and children have allergies, Zimny is pleased with a better environment for them to be in. She also noticed a difference for her family during cold and flu season.
"I used to walk around with cleaner and get everything we touched," she said. "Now I just take the envirocloth and wipe down all those surfaces. It hardly takes any time."
Norwex offers a variety of cleaning cloths along with some cleaning products. Products are generally sold at home parties.
"It's about having friends and family over to learn how to save money, save time and save the environment," she said.

Holy cow, our trip is coming up in the no-so-distant future.
To get to our hotel (London Regency on Queensgate), it looks like from Terminal 5 we would take Piccadilly Line straight to Gloucester Road. I assume the signage to Tube station at Terminal 5 is good (if I remember from when I had to change planes at Heathrow, they also have some helpful people to answer stupid questions from tourists). Does that sound correct?
A week later, we are going back to Heathrow to pick up a car to go to Salisbury, Bath and the Cotswolds. I'm driving on the wrong side of the road here in L.A. to get used to it. Is it better to take the Tube or a Cab back to Heathrow. Where are the car rentals at Heathrow? Thanks.

Have you looked on the car hire (rental) website for their location? That would be the place to look and they'll likely have instructions on how to get there. Tube back to LHR will be significantly cheaper and possibly faster.
Report Abuse
Yes, Tom, there are people who will answer your questions, I found them to be helpful last fall when trying to get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 5. The signage was pretty good too.
I would suggest a car service when going out to pick up your rental car; I think it will be cheaper than a cab. Taking the tube would be a pain as you take it to the terminal and then get a shuttle to the area where all the car rental places are.
We were just there three weeks ago dropping off a car at Hertz. We had a car and driver from www.justairports.com pick us up there to take us into South Kensington, it was 36 GBP.
We were very happy not to have to load our bags on the shuttle and then find the tube etc.
I also used the same service for my early morning flight home and it cost 28 GBP. My friend used it five days before at 5:30pm and it was 36 GBP, so I guess the price depends on the size of the car and the time of day. They were very punctual and courteous.
Could you post a YouTube video of yourself driving on the wrong side of the road in L.A.? lol.
I can barely drive on the right side of the road in L.A. without a panic attack let alone the wrong side!!
Have a great time! I am already having London withdrawal...love, love London.
Report Abuse
Actually it was Enterprise and it was on the Northern Perimeter Road West, and it looked like all or most of the car rental places were near there on that Perimeter road.
Report Abuse
Tube to the hotel is easy peasy.
For the trip back out to LHR definitely take a car service (NOT a cab - that would cost a fortune)
A car service like justairports.com will cost half what a taxi does. The reason to use a car service is the car hire firms are all of airport. So taking the tube would mean to LHR, then schelpp to the car rental ground transport (a fairly long walk) and then catching the shuttle. A car service will be door to door.
You must prebook the car service . . .

Thanks. Looks like Tube in from Heathrow and Car Hire out to Rental Car at Heathrow. Kim has printed out our 2-4-1 vouchers (he and Tracy are the organized ones on the trip). Now back to planning!

To clarify vocabulary, car hire = car rental. Car service = transport to car hire agency.

No, you aren't doing a car hire.
Car Hire is what you are doing AFTER you get to Hertz or whichever.

>>A Car service is what you'd call a Limo in LA.<<
...And I always thought that "Car Service" was an Americanism... I'd never heard that expression before I ventured into Fodorland. More widely used UK English expressions for this would be an "airport car", or a "chaffeur-driven car" (if it's a large prestige vehicle). Both are examples of what are technically Private Hire taxis.
The word "Limo" is never used in the UK other than for one of those awful stretch Limos (usually with a garish pink paintjob) transporting boozed-up hen party-goers to provincial nightclubs.

The only time I've heard regular use of the term "car service" in the US was in New York City. I don't know how extensively it's used otherwise. I've never heard it on the West Coast.

" I'm driving on the wrong side of the road here in L.A. to get used to it."
I've driven in LA, how can you tell if you're on the wrong side?

Another term is mini cab - nothing at all to do w/ Mini Cooper nor the size of the car. And not a 'cab' to confuse even more.
A mini cab is a pre booked 'car service' . . . which is not a hire car

One more question. I have justairports picking us up at hotel and taking us to the car rental (Avis) at Heathrow. Our pick-up just says the car rental office is located "in the terminal." Can they drop us at any terminal or is there a specific one? Thanks.
Report Abuse
Looks like they have offices at all terminals. So unless they say otherwise, I'd assume any terminal would do - and that the JustAirports driver knows all about such things (though that may be wishful thinking, I don't know).
Report Abuse
But then you'd have to take their shuttle to the actual rental location off the Bath Road. I'd have justairports take me there instead

Janis, I owe you a bundle of martinis. That's the answer. Thanks so much.

I'm a wimp and have done the Tube to Heathrow then rental/hire shuttle to the rental/hire facility several times. Thought it was easy. If I remember, the shortest walk from the tube at Heathrow was to terminal 2. The shuttle stop was just a few yards from the escalator up from the Tube. It would save money but whether the savings are worth the extra effort is up to you.
In addition to JustAirports, I would get a mini cab quote as well, Addison Lee is a good firm with immaculate cars.
Report Abuse
JustAirports emailed me that they do this all the time and not to worry, I'm taking their advice and not worrying about anything until tomorrow when I'm sure I will stress out about something else I shouldn't stress out about.

annhig, I don't think there is a tipping "policy" but I have used justairports many times and would probably tip on that fare 5 pounds.
Report Abuse
We tipped four pounds on a fare of 36.00 pounds going into London. (mostly this was for the ease of splitting the fare and each giving a 20 pound note)
On the way back out to Heathrow we left on separate days; I tipped about the same on a fare of 28.00 GBP and the day my Aussie friend left she tipped nothing on a fare of 30.00GBP.( Aussies aren't into the whole tipping thing)
I don't think you really need to tip them. In fact in retrospect I shouldn't have tipped anything on my trip from London to Heathrow as the driver was pretty surly.

Hi there, thanks for the tip helps alot. I was curious if there is a function like this in illustrator cs2 as well, or any plugins i can download? My spelling is horrible!!
I love the Dynamic Spelling feature in CS2 – it flags words in the layout that aren't in its dictionary, a la Microsoft Word – but it can be distracting when you're designing the layout itself. I get tired of going to the Edit > Spelling menu all the time to toggle Dynamic Spelling on and off. You too?
Give it a keyboard shortcut. Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and in the Product Area section, choose Edit Menu > Spelling: Dynamic Spellcheck. I assigned control-S (on my Mac) to the command.
You can leave the checkbox for Enable Dynamic Spelling unchecked in Preferences, that just sets its initial on/off state. So by default, as you work on a layout, Dynamic Spelling won't be active. But if you quickly want to check to make sure a word is spelled correctly, press your Dynamic Spelling keyboard shortcut to turn it on. If the word is misspelled, it'll get that wavy red line under it, and you can right-click on it to choose the correct spelling from the list of suggestions or add it to your Dictionary. If the word is spelled correctly, nothing happens – no wavy line.
Press the keyboard shortcut again to toggle Dynamic Spelling off and go on your way.
Hi there, thanks for the tip helps alot. I was curious if there is a function like this in illustrator cs2 as well, or any plugins i can download? My spelling is horrible!!
My CS2 dynamic spelling doesn't appear to work, even though it's on. I have had multiple spelling errors not flagged and aren't found until a dummy print. What's wrong?
Is there a way to get spellcheck to ignore superscript letters? As in:
"In all athe world . . ."
(Imagine the 'a' as superscript.)
Spellcheck, of course, has no imagination, and flags 'athe' as misspelled.
I have a very large document with thousands of these superscript footnote references. There's no practical way I can 'ignore' all of the words with a reference letter, to search for words that are actually misspelled.
That's a pretty quick fix. Set up a Find/Change to search for all superscripts, and apply No Language. Then the spell checker will ignore them.
Thank you Mike Rankin!
(I had already set all the superscripts with their own character style, so all I had to do was edit the style.)
Is there a way to get hyphenation to ignore superscript letters?
InDesign won't break these words in the right place, so I'm having to put a discretionary hyphen in every time.
Any help would be appreciated!
Can anyone suggest?

Hi, is there any way to turn off the grammar check while spell checking. I have a large document in which I have chosen to not capitalize anything, it is annoying to have to skip every other word, I just want to check for spelling errors alone! Any thoughts? Thanks!
nevermind, I found it under preferences, I'm a little slow this morning. Thanks!
Hello Guys,
Has anyone used SpellPlus from MetaDesign Solutions, they have mentioned that they support SpellCheck and Hyphenation for Indian Languages.
I have used their product IndicPus for Typing Support in Indian Languages, I have had a great experience with it so far.
It would be great if someone can share his or her experience before I spend money.
Is there a way to check spelling on document pages without checking the spelling of master pages? We have templates that have Latin dummy text as placeholders, and every time I check spelling, it hits every word…
Hello, wondering if ligatures affect spell check at all. In CS4 the ID spellcheck seems to highlight words that don't seem to be misspelled, I am wondering if it is because there is a ligature. It is usually with fi.
Hello Guys,
I have used IndiPlus Plugin by Metadesign Solutions for Indesign. It works great with Indian languages.
Hello SA
You are right, I have used it too, it's awesome. No problems till now.
Recently I had a chance to use SpellPlus for Marathi, I was not really impressed but it is alright to use it.
I can't find "grammar" check in CS4. Does dynamic spellcheck replace it in CS4? I had it visible in CS2. Any help appreciated.
I think marshall is referring to the grammar related aspect of the InDesign spell checker. Capitalized sentences and repeated words are considered grammar errors in InDesign.

Does Dynamic Spelling (DS) only work while you're in "normal" mode in CS5? If so, was it this way with CS4 also? I almost always work in "preview" mode and would find it helpful if DS would show up here. If there's a way to make it show up in preview mode in CS5, could someone please let me in on the secret??

The MLS Week 25 midweek action is all Western Conference this week, as two of the league's marquee teams take on a pair of squads that need an upset or two to get back into the playoff hunt.
The reeling Colorado Rapids, fresh off the news of Drew Moor's season-ending right knee injury, will try to regain their spirit as they host Landon Donovan for likely the final time at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Northwest in Seattle, the busy Sounders will play host to an up-and-down San Jose Earthquakes side that lost by five goals to FC Dallas last weekend.
Here is a rundown of the Week 25 midweek slate:
COLORADO RAPIDS vs. LA GALAXY (Wednesday, 9 p.m., MLS Live/Direct Kick)
The Rapids have now lost four straight matches to drop into seventh place in the competitive Western Conference, and the absence of Moor might compound their struggles.
With another tough fixture against the Sounders waiting after this, coach Pablo Mastroeni will hope his side can stave off matching the franchise record of a six-game skid. Colorado did beat the Galaxy in early May, and have enjoyed recent success at home against LA, but with the back line in tatters, the Rapids' offense may be required to come through.
The Galaxy suffered a letdown against Columbus last weekend, losing by three goals, but were unbeaten in their previous three matches. On the positive side, Gyasi Zardes breakout continued as he's scored in four straight matches and is likely salivating at the chance to take on the Rapids.
SEATTLE SOUNDERS vs. SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (Wednesday, 10 p.m., MLS Live/Direct Kick)
The Sounders haven't played quite up to their standards the past month or so, but the Earthquakes should provide a good opportunity to pick up three points at home, as Obafemi Martins returns from a red card suspension and both Marco Pappa and Brad Evans are believed to be healthy enough to play.
It's been a busy period for the Sounders, which is playing its third match in eight days. Tonight could be a potential trap game, with an anticipated meeting with the Portland Timbers ahead this weekend.
The Earthquakes focus will be on fixing a leaky back line that allowed the club to suffer it's worst margin of defeat ever against Dallas. However, the Earthquakes can take some confidence from a home win over the Sounders back on August 2.
Will the Galaxy be able to pile on against a vulnerable Rapids side? Can San Jose continue its recent success against the Sounders or will Seattle's reinforcements overwhelm them?

The wine growing region of Styria produces a brilliantly fresh and elegant style of wines. The three Styrian wine-growing regions all offer their own local specialty, and are located in the south of Styria.
To the west, the spicy Schilcher Rosé dominates, a variety that truly expresses its terroir.
In the Sausal region and along the South Styrian Wine Road, the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and the Gelber Muskateller varieties reign. Once in the glass, Styrian Sauvignon entices with scents of just-ripe red currant, white pepper and lime. Pair a Styrian Sauvignon Blanc with a plate of charcuterie on the veranda of a Buschenschank (rural wine tavern) and absorb the seductive, sensory delights of southern Austria.
The Vulkanland (locaed in the south-east of Styria) is named for its remains of volanic activity, and the trio of aromatic varieties is rounded off with Traminer, a real treat for connoisseurs.

What? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sounding Holy Balls!!!
Talk about niche fetishes! Had no idea! Only thing I think comes close, is humming on certain parts of the private parts... used to be called a hummer O_o haven't even seen (heard) it in porn, in quite a while...
I've seen a couple images on HF of sounding, usually just futa with the girl...dude with boobs? Meh. The person involved stickin' something down their urethra. Was wondering if others liked this, found it hot, wanted to see it... 'Cause the only reactions I've seen of sounding are "Oh, oh dear god no, why would you do that" and such.

Like the old saying goes, send it up the flagpole (pun?) and see who salutes!
Still, I'd be worried about this crowd trying it :)

Hi! We think we need to replace or increase the amount of insulation in the home we are purchasing. I've been searching for an average cost of this type of upgrade in order to put a budget together and haven't been able to find anything.
We would like to avoid taking either the interior drywall or exterior siding off if possible but I'm not sure what our options are if we don't do that.
The house is a 2 level split with about 1900 total sq ft with access to the attic and there's a drop ceiling in the basement.
If more information is needed to provide a price range I'd be happy to provide it.
Thanks so much for the help!
I'm sure you'll get lots of responses, however why don't you call in three reputable local contractors for each of your projects. Then you will have an idea of what it will cost you.
Good luck.

New Model 70 help, please?
Well, I just returned from the range where I was breaking in a newly manufactured Model 70 30-06 Featherweight. This was the maiden voyage for this rifle and I am concerned about the following: I was just trying to get my scope close while getting accustomed to the trigger. I had a factory box of Super X Power Max Bonded 180 grainers. This was also going to provide me with brass for future reloading. Right from the start this rifle was all over the place; more like patterns than groups. I eventually pulled the front rest position back to just under the scope object bell and the horizontal stringing settled down and left me with 3 inch vertical stringing shooting only 3 shot groups. At that point I was about finished with the first box of ammo when I noticed that the fired brass was showing heavy sooting on the necks and a black ring around the fired primers. What's up with that? Isn't that classic high pressure sign? Anyway, I was feeling kind of dopey for not noticing these signs sooner. What say you folks? Any suggestions? Thanks…

I'd try a few different types of ammo first. Most new Winchesters are proving to be good shooters. If it does not improve with another type of ammo I'd be calling Winchester.

seems like there might be 2 issues here. The failure to group adequately and the high pressure signs. Since you were using factory rounds, I am stymied. A couple of weeks ago my mildly loaded 7mm mag. was showing soot and high pressure signs. Following the advice on the this board I rechecked my OAL and brought the rounds into spec and the problems disappeared. The variant groups could be due to so many things like bedding problems, loose or incorrect scope mounting, crown problems or poor barrel. As the previous poster noted, you might want to try a different brand of ammo before sending the gun back. Good luck, keep us posted so we can all learn.

I spent some time with the folks at Sierra Bullets (Robert). Long story short, of course we spoke at length about possible rifle/rings/mounts issues, but really settled on a couple of avenues of concerns to investigate. One is the rifle itself. According to them Featherweights are just plain finicky and it takes time to find rifle chow it likes. 3 shot groups make real sense with this type of hunting rifle. Let the barrel cool down between groups. Shoot some moderate H4350 loads with a good bullet that has been handcrafted with care and set the shoulder back .001 on brass that has been fired in that rifle. Use CCI large rifle primers; they are actually a little larger in diameter and have been known to offer a better seal when brass has become stretched or work hardened after a bunch of firings. We'll see: what say you?

I would try several different bullet weights. I would venture a guess that the thin barrel of the featherweight will like something a little lighter, maybe 165 or 150 grain bullets. Also might help to free float the barrel if it isn't already. If it helped to move the rest back further on the gun this could be part of the problem. Wrap a piece of paper or a dollar bill around the barrel and slide it down into the stock to see if the barrel is touching the stock. Good luck and I hope you solve your issues quickly.

I have a older Winny F/W '06 push feed and it's my favorite hunting rifle. It's easy to carry in the field. It will put 4 loles touching, about the size of your thumb nail @ 100 yards with the fifth as a flyer slighly high and to the right. But life wasn't always so grand. I had a cheap scope which I found was changing zero after every shot. As you well know the F/W boots, alot! Step one, I got a new scope, Starts with a "L". This made the groups a liitle ( well alot better) better, Step two, The front sling screw was putting pressure on the barrel so I trimed it on the grinder. Step three, I free floated the barrel and adjusted the trigger to a nice clean break at about 3 pounds.
I found the rifle likes IMR 4350 and CCI primers. I had to learn how to work through the recoil. Now it shoots good enough.ont't ask about rings. It's been awhile. Seems like they might be Burris.
God Bless our Troops especially our Snipers.

Barrel thickness has considerable effect on performance.
#1 problem "Featherweight" , not designed for target shooting. Designed for carry with very few rounds fired.
For sighting in, the rest, or sandbag, should be at the spot your extended arm will be holding the stock when shooting offhand.
Let barrel cool for several minutes between rounds.
Are you planning on hunting something that requires 180 gr. to kill? That is a substantial round and you may be flinching, that Featherweight won't protect you much from felt recoil. Personally, I would be willing to use, and I do, 150 gr. for anything less than elk and moose.

I would definitely check the scope mounts first, then move on to the ammo.

Been here/done this.....
Worse: M70/Feather-weight barrel/heavy bullets do not mix.
(BTW: the throats are also cut unusually short on these new M70s)
First: Get some commercially-loaded Hornady 150 SSTs and report back.
Second: Pull the action and bed the barrel under the chamber/float the rest.
And if it doesn't at least "settle down" from throwing wild rounds by that point, pull the hot glue bedding and start over w/ real epoxy.

Thin barrels on light rifles do require different methods of shooting for groups. As some have stated, wait between 3 shot strings; I wait 15 minutes ... what is the rush to sight in and do it right? This is not convenient, but it is even less convenient to carry a heavy rifle if you are hunting the mountains of Colorado ... trust me!
If you shoot anything like Elk or Moose, choosing one bullet weight is a good thing. It is better to shoot heavy bullets for smaller game, than smaller bullets for bigger game! I shoot everything with 180 grain bullets with my ought-six, because I know this load and where it goes! I shoot 300 yards or 20 and know the rifle and the load. Recoil is negligible in an Ought-six. If a 180 bothers you, get a 25'06! If you switch back and forth with bullet weight ... 150 to 180, you have to re-zero, and relearn that load. Pick one and be the master of it! The master of one load is who I count on bringing home the bacon!
In my ought-six I shoot 180, but 165 will bridge the gap between 150 and 180, and is more efficient for longer shots than both. In my .300 Weatherby I shot everything with 180 grain bullets for the same reasons, but it is faster and is efficient with the 180 at long range.
Good Luck, try other ammo, and take your time letting the barrel settle down and cool. If you are unsure of using a rest for shooting, take along someone who is to assist you. I am sure that new Model 70 will be a fine rifle. I looked them over carefully at the NRA Convention this year, and they are truly a nice rifle. I wish I were there to have a go with your rifle!
REMEMBER, a Monster Buck will only give you ONE SHOT at best! The rest of the group won't matter!
I have attached a photo of such a buck that I shot near my old house in Colorado, Divide Colorado that is. It was not in season though!

Ithica what model?
When I was a young office on the Tampa Police Department in 1967 we, like other cities, had riots. At the time the department didn't have shotguns or anything else for riot control. I went to a pawn shop and bought a Ithica double barrel 12 gage shotgun for $45.00. It had a home made stock on it and now I'd like to find the one that goes on it. As far as I can tell it has no model number on it unless it is the "34" before the serial number. The serial number is 34 3808. I would really love to know what it is. It says Ithica Gun Company on it and it says smokeless powder etc.. Anyone have any ideas? If so thanks in advance ....

CLEARWATER — A new restaurant, fresh off the vine, is coming to Clearwater Mall. It's a new experiment by a well-known national chain.
Sweet Tomatoes Express will be a smaller, quick-serve restaurant that's intended to complement the larger, full-scale Sweet Tomatoes restaurants in Palm Harbor and Largo.
"This is the third of its kind in the nation," said Dan Anderson, vice president of business development for Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp., a San Diego-based chain with 120 Sweet Tomatoes and Souplantation restaurants in 15 states. The first Express restaurant opened in San Diego in January, and the second will soon open in Nevada.
The Clearwater diner — 2,160 square feet in a former Jamba Juice location — is expected to open in January.
"I'm from Pinellas County," Anderson said, "and I'm a fan of the area. When I saw a location open up at 60 and 19 (State Road 60 and U.S. 19) I knew we needed to be there. With a SuperTarget and a Costco, and residential all around, it's a great location."
Unlike the full-scale, buffet-style Sweet Tomatoes restaurants where guests select their own meal from salads, soups, pastas and baked goods, Express employees will build custom salads for customers as they make their selections.
The menu will consist of Sweet Tomatoes signature tossed salads, four types of greens, and over 30 toppings including edamame, feta cheese, candied walnuts, tofu and dried cranberries. Other add-ons include three types of grilled chicken, avocado, marinated grilled steak and shrimp.
Five soups as well as the perennial favorite, macaroni and cheese, will also be offered.
Fresh bakery selections include garlic focaccia, muffins and warm chocolate chip cookies.
The "fast casual" eatery will supply seating for 50 for those who wish to dine in. Others can order on the spot for take-out, or they can call or fax in orders ahead of time.
"It's more convenient for those who want to have a quick lunch or dinner and don't have the time for a sit-down meal," Anderson said.

We always love getting emails from our customers & readers asking us to feature their dog or favorite breed for our Best Bully Sticks Spotlight on a Breed blog series every Thursday. As always we are honored to oblige. We are excited to spotlight the Great Pyrenees and honor Maxwell.
Kind Barking's from a Great Pyrenees Pet Owner:
Maxwell is a 3 year old, 140 pound Great Pyrenees, he drools, he sheds, he barks often and loudly… but I wouldn't have it any other way. Maxwell greets each person he meets with a sniff and a tail wag. Hee puts a smile on the faces of everyone he encounters. I once read a quote, I don't know who it is from.. "I have found it true that the Great Pyrenees does nothing in a hurry… especially when it comes to listening to my commands".. this couldn't be more true. There is a running joke on the Great Pyrenees forum I belong to… "If it barks like a Pyr, walks like a Pyr and most of all doesn't listen to you like a Pyr, then It's a Pyr!"
~Leah and Maxwell
Height: Male 27-32 inches, Female 25-29 inches
Weight: Male 100, Female 85 lbs
Coat: The weather resistant double coat consists of a long, flat, thick, outer coat of coarse hair, straight or slightly undulating, and lying over a dense, fine, woolly undercoat. The coat is more profuse about the neck and shoulders where it forms a ruff or mane which is more pronounced in males. Longer hair on the tail forms a plume. There is feathering along the back of the front legs and along the back of the thighs, giving a "pantaloon" effect. The hair on the face and ears is shorter and of finer texture.
Color: Great Pyrenees are white or white with markings of gray, badger, reddish brown, or tan
Appearance: The Great Pyrenees is a large, shaggy white dog with a majestic carriage. Their fluffy coats are deceiving, and while they may appear to be large, heavy animals, they are actually of medium substance and are not considered a giant breed. The head is wedge-shaped with a slightly rounded skull, and should be in proportion with the rest of the body. The eyes are almond-shaped, dark brown, and give the dog a thoughtful expression. The eye rims, nose and lips are black. The coat is either all white or white with yellow, reddish brown, tan or gray. The rear dewclaws should never be removed – they have bones that are functional. The tail is plumed, carried low, and may be carried over the back, "making the wheel," when aroused. When present, a "shepherd's crook" at the end of the tail accentuates the plume.
Temperament: Great Pyrenees are described as regal dogs. They are thoughtful animals, very observant and vigilant. Their original purpose was to guard flocks and they were charged with making independent decisions about who was a friend and who was potentially dangerous. The modern Pyrenees takes his watchdog role seriously, quietly sizing up newcomers before making a decision. They are fiercely protective of their property, family, and even other household pets. Pyrenees are patient and gentle with kids in their own family, but often don't take kindly to outside children engaging in rough play with their charges.
These gentle giants love to play, and their favorite time to romp and play is after a good snow. Giving them a job to do after a snowstorm, like pulling kids in a sled or hitching the Pyrenees to a cart will keep him occupied for hours.
Health: The life expectancy for a Great Pyrenees is about 10 years. They are prone to bloat, hip dysplasia, bone cancer, luxated patellas and can develop skin problems in hot weather.

I think I am going to purchase an M&P in 9mm, 4.25" barrel.
**Good deal.
First, are they all DAO? only a few of the models are listed as Double Action Only.
***All the M&P 9mms are DA only. You can get it tweeked to competition level or leave it at the 6.5lb pull weight. You need to run about 600 rounds through it to really smooth it out.
Second, thumb safety or no thumb safety? My 1911 has a thumb safety so I do not see it as a hinderance, but what are the pros and cons?
***That's a personal thing. If you are comfortable with a thumb safety then do what works for you. Pro-its more safe, especially where the trigger is accidentally snagged on something. Con-you have to drop the safety. If you have that muscle memory then its not an issue for you.
Third, magazine safety or not? What are the pros and cons of this?
***Mag safeties are good for…what are they good for again? Cons you can't fire if you're changing mags. I'd proffer if you have no mag in the well you're out and are changing anyway. Having said that I have one without the mag safety. Some states require them (CA)
Fourth, Pro Series, VTAC, or basic? I am leaning not...I kinda like the "Range Kit" with the holster and spare mags, but is the pro worth it? I did not want to hijack anothers thread with extra questions.
Pro series has a better trigger, and night sights. Most people swear by Apex kits, Burwell, or other smiths to get the trigger to where you want to be. If you plan to play with your pistol a little, to get the sights and trigger you want in particular (or don't care) get a basic and tweak to taste. Same to same for the range kit.
Take your time. Prices are going to be weird for a bit, until the freakout dies down.
I'll note on mine:
*Dawson adjustable sight
*fiberoptic front sight.
*Burwell trigger job to 3.5 lb
*KKM precision barrel.
Its quite nice.

has anyone put together a Sensible Strategies for Upgrading document when moving from 7.2.x to 7.3? for instance, i've read in a few different places that not all dependencies will be appropriately created. as an admin, my biggest questions are: 1. is it necessary, strongly recommended, recommended, or irrelevant to run contrib/adddepend? 2. is it necessary, strongly recommended, recommended, or irrelevant to upgrade DBD::Pg for people accessing postgres via the Perl DBI? speaking of which, are there docs about what changed in the latest DBD::Pg? 3. what is the default environment as far as schemas are concerned for databases that have been migrated? is there just a public schema created for all objects? is it possible to move existing tables into user-created schemas? i didn't see an ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA... 4. are there other important considerations i might be overlooking? i've read the new docs, but the upgrade section remains much the same as previous versions, despite the fact that there seem to be enough catalog changes between 7.2 and 7.3 that admins ought to be paying attention to more details than are presented there. so far, the reading i've done has provided a varying amount of detail in a variety of places: the new version of the docs, the HISTORY file, the mailing lists; but nothing i've yet seen gives a complete picture of the important details to be considered when upgrading. maybe the details aren't as important as i'm guessing? i kind of feel otherwise, though. thanks! -tfo Thomas F.

SAHM to one moody son J (06-27-03), one super-girly daughter M (02-23-06) and welcome Sophie! (05-23-10) expecting fourth in July
The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.
What if you reserved a plate for her while serving dinner? Then that way you don't have to worry about it running out, and you can just stick the plate in the microwave later.
I think when they are that thin, their stomachs just can't handle that much food at once. ...
|Every time I feed my children, even if it's not a scheduled mealtime and it might be "inconvenient" for me, I thank God I have the opportunity to do so.
True, though please realize I am more concerned about late bedtime/not enough sleep rather than inconvenience to me.
I think it helps to keep in mind that this is really a first-world, modern-day problem.
So many people throughout history and throughout the world today would love to have enough food on hand to give a child a little extra when he/she asks for it.
What do we do with it? ("We" being people in general.) We take it for granted. We complain that oh, we have to walk to the fridge and run the microwave again.
Every time I feed my children, even if it's not a scheduled mealtime and it might be "inconvenient" for me, I thank God I have the opportunity to do so.

Reasons Why Cloud Computing Is A Hot Start-up Area
The cloud computing business model has had a phenomenal adoption in the last decade. It scales business, private, and public operations in a way that lowers costs, takes advantage of new technology, and boosts efficiency with minimal infrastructural engagements. And because it's been the center of many debates surrounding business operations, cloud computing sector has been a beehive of activities. In the past few months, it has suddenly become a hot start-up area, attracting more and more interest. There are a number of possible reasons for this.
1. Closing knowledge gap about the cloud
According to a survey carried out and published by the Business Insider in late 2011, close to 50 percent of all Americans were not aware of what the cloud was. When the infograph came in, it worried stakeholders in the industry and they seem to have acted upon it. Recently, there has been marked evidence of a reducing knowledge gap in the previously quiet cloud sphere. People are becoming aware of the cloud and what it can do for start-ups and innovative businesses
2. Managed cloud negative publicity
Compared to a few years ago, the way the cloud works today is more radical. Despite the negative publicity from the Megaupload piracy scandal and the website's federal lockdown, the Sony cloud hacking situation, and other controversies, cloud advocacy stepped up. This is partially because the players have started to take responsibility for their affairs. For the industry as a whole, this seems to have worked well.
3. Less competition in the cloud
Unlike programming, software, and the other industries controlled by monopolies or conglomerates, cloud computing faces relative calm in operations. There is not much competition in the sector. This gives start-ups the opportunity to move into the sector and collect gains before competition sinks.
4. Increased cost of doing business
The cost of running businesses has increased but not because of the increase of opportunities, revenues, or markets. On the contrary, economies have been shrinking. The cloud is comfortably in the lead of options that offer businesses the opportunity of virtualized, more efficient, and cost-effective business models. Smart cloud computing providers and start-ups have moved in to provide custom solutions for these businesses.
5. General positive predictions for the sector
The essence of the start-ups is to move into new sectors and drive more or less faster changes. Looking at the current order of business, the cloud seems to be in the driver's seat. Its future is bright. Considering we have more venture capitalists like Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers getting into the fore, the sector is headed for a greener future and this will change the current business models and sector players.

By Jeremy J. Tewell
Kent State University Press, $45
North and South were culturally dissimilar from the very outset of European settlement. And though it wasn't the stain of slavery, in isolation, that precipitated the Civil War, no one with an ear to the past doubts that slavery as an idea preoccupied popular thinkers as much as it engaged political actors. Jeremy J. Tewell's reflective and instructive new book puts the Declaration of Independence front and center, and tackles newspaper columnists, pamphleteers, and legislators who committed to the battle of words in the feverish years before men marched into battle.
In a republic where some people were enslaved owing to a presumed inferiority rooted in skin pigmentation and historical place of origin, was there any guarantee that some other factor might not, before long, be equally the determinant of one's status in society? To a surprising number, it was not a mere hypothetical. In the 1850s, Abraham Lincoln, for one, insisted that to allow new western states to decide for themselves whether or not to abide the slave economy invited even northern states to reconsider their own local circumstances.
"By relinquishing control over slavery's expansion," Tewell intuits Lincoln's conundrum, all America might be drawn into a state of "indifference to the future of human servitude." Slavery and freedom would be comparable values, equally acceptable — and slavery not a moral wrong.
Lincoln was certainly a racist by modern standards, a politician whose pragmatic tendencies caused him to prefer black "self-deportation" (to use a controversial term of 2012). Indeed, he was carrying forward Jefferson's dictum that slaves both deserved complete freedom and to be returned to their country of origin. As Lincoln looked back on Jefferson's Declaration, he stated firmly that one could not make exceptions to that document's principle of human equality: "Making exceptions to it?" Lincoln posed. "Where will it stop? If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?" No American could legitimately be subjugated to any other. Rights were universal. Wasn't the United States of America meant, from its inception, to be morally consistent?
Southern defenders of the essential beneficence of the institution of slavery compared the protections their human property knew to the demonstrably squalid lives of northern laborers, who existed at the mercy of an economy far less flourishing than the cotton kingdom. "Free society!" exclaimed one Alabama newspaper. "What is it but a conglomeration of GREASY MECHANICS, FILTHY OPERATIVES, SMALL-FISTED FARMERS, and moon-struck THEORISTS."
Louisiana's Sen. Solomon Downs spoke to the morals of slavery: "Poverty is unknown to the Southern slave, for as soon as the master of slaves becomes too poor to provide for them, he SELLS them to others who can take care of them."
Such outpourings may be hard to stomach, but the purpose of the historian is to reconstitute the moral boundaries of past societies. Both North and South lived in fear of what each defined as "chaos" or "tyranny." Philosophers attempt to convey reason, but voting majorities respond most readily to their most irrational fears. As Tewell repeatedly makes clear, cultivated morality has always been critical in defining a republic. He quotes one of Jefferson's most pithy and eloquent aphorisms: "Those who expect to be ignorant and free expect what never was and never will be."
Is anyone suited for servitude? Lincoln's law partner William Herndon said: "Slavery is right or it is wrong. If it is justice and right toward one race, so it must be to all." If Southerners were willing to enslave Africans, he argued, then what objection could there be to the enslavement of whites whose prospects for advancement appeared equally remote? Tewell also invokes William H. Seward of New York: "If all are not equal and free, then who is entitled to be free, and what evidence of his superiority can he bring from nature or revelation?"
A Self-Evident Lie is not designed to pick a fight, but rather to reconstruct the argument that our forebears chose. Only certain Northerners committed themselves to the ideal of one "human family," or were as deeply immersed in those questions of political morality that Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and their cohort were obliged to evaluate. The point to be made here is that the Civil War generation of leaders struggled with the nation's past — with problems of logical consistency — as much as they critiqued their brethren on the other side of the conflict.
Thomas Jefferson could not have known what was to be unleashed in the 19th century when he promulgated equality as a "self-evident truth." This book is a clear and concise synthesis of an idea, carried forward more than fourscore years, that deserves to command our attention.

MONTREAL (Nov. 3)
More than 42,000 Jews immigrated to Canada in the last 15 years, and between 60 percent and 65 percent of them settled in Montreal, it was revealed here at an "open house" meeting conducted by the Federation of Jewish Community Services. The meeting was part of the Federation's current campaign for raising $1,075,000 to meet the needs of its 10 agencies.
The figures on Jewish immigration were given by the principal speaker at the "open house," Robert D. Shaw, deputy commissioner-general of a Canadian national exposition scheduled to be held here in 1967. Pointing up the need for support of the Federation agencies, Mr. Shaw noted that the increase in Jewish population through immigration has also made the services of Federation agencies more necessary.
He said that the rise in the Jewish population here in the last 15 years has increased the Jewish child population in Montreal by 75 percent. In the same period, he said, the ratio of Jewish aged in this city has risen to 33 percent.

A very flat organization allowing direct access to decision makers.
New product pipeline is extensive
Great customers, some would say the best in the business.
The company will only sell quality products. No short cuts allowed
Steadfast commitment to customers, employees, products and markets.
The company could care less of who you are are where you came from, if you contribute you will be noticed and appreciated. You will be provided an equal chance for promotion, if that's what you want, but you can't fake it, you must contribute to get noticed.
Complex product mix, not an easy business to manage
Resources can be tight, if you want to work for a wasteful dot com operation this is not the place for you.
We move at a steady upward pace, not a lot of hype just hard work
Advice to Management
Keep focused on the customers and the basic fundamentals that got us here. Don't get greedy, keep the wall street types "far" away. Keep focusing on products and customers and don't fall into the traps that our competitors have fallen into, mainly short-term financial. Keep building!

One of the most rewarding aspects to working at ECRS is that your job and capacity to grown within the company is basically as you make it. If you come in ready to work, share ideas, and produce results you will be rewarded with both praise and opportunity. If you have something to say, you will be heard no matter your title. It's a very friendly open place with a definite emphasis on customers and "smart" growth.
Beautiful location, but it is far from a major airport making it tough for bringing in customers and business clients.
Advice to Management
Your employees respect you, the ECRS name, our customers, and the product. The growth is there and success will be long-lasting because decisions are made with intelligence, consideration, and input.

Very advanced thinking company. Develops great products to make our customers successful. Allows employees to have a say in the direction of the company. Management does not micro manage departments. Let's employees be creative and provide candid feedback.
Boone, NC is a 2 hour drive to the nearest airport. Can be a hassle if you work out of the corporate office. Winters in Boone can be a little brutal.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what your doing. Keep thinking about growth and the future. Keep your customers and employees first and foremost.
