E turned 3 on Saturday, ans I couldn't believe what a *kid* she was. The kids just ran around in a pack the whole time. Welcome to the independent years!
Here are some recent photos:
MIL arrived last week and we are just biding our time waiting for the wee one to arrive any day now. Another August babe!
Happy birthdays to all the August lovelies!:
Okay, guys, do you have advice on what to do about the insanely large guest list for O's bday? By the time I invite family and O's friends (esp those whose parties we've attended) the list is up to 58 people, which includes spouses.
New Mama -- How are you doing in the wake of your father's death? I am having a very, very hard time after my gma died. My body freaked out in a big rash, and I think that was part of my grieving.
And what is with the attitude? My happy, smiling, easygoing: child is now making "mad" faces, doesn't want to give her Granny and Papa hugs when i ask her to she does it when she wants to though), and is almost unbearable at times. I am away with her and I know she is missing her dad, but this is really draining.
Hey-are your kids still napping? E's been napping 2+ hours lately, but it's hard to get her down. She sleeps about 9-10 hours at night. Those of you whose kids aren't napping, when do your kids get "ratty" (if they do!) and how long are they sleeping at night? Thanks!

NM, if this makes you feel any better, your neighbors should be concerned. Lily got pox when she was eight (I discovered them at her birthday party) and of the six kids at the party, all got at least a mild form of pox and one took them home to her brother. Annabelle was the only kid at the party (she was five weeks old at the time) who didn't get them. Based on this, I don't think that vax is super-effective.
Speaking of pox, I think A has them too. Power of suggestion, NM? She had a horribly upset stomach Thursday night and I noticed some marks on her back and tummy yesterday, but thought they might be bites. Then more tonight. Ack. Dh is out of town and not due back until Wed. night. Stuck at home alone with two kids for three days! Anyway, she was itchy this morning, but some Non-Itchy Stuff (as we call it here) seems to have helped. I'm not sure if I want her to have pox or not. Not that it really matters....
Emily, I love your story about pling and Adam. Your solution is so creative! I think in the end it may be what pushes him over the edge. And then you will be so happy that you thought of it!
NM, your off-hand frozen custard remark made me giggle. One of the highlights of my two years working in Milwaukee!

There are many assessment-related efforts and initiatives taking place across the Fredonia campus. Each division (and the departments within) assesses their goals and outcomes on a yearly basis and provides information to leadership in an annual report. Additionally, academic departments undergo program review every five years. In general, each division, department, program, and service is responsible for gathering, organizing, and reporting evidence for their accomplishments and their contributions to the overarching mission of Fredonia.
Click on the dropdown menu item above to view specific information related to assessment in the divisions, colleges/schools, and the general education program. Please note that the content of these pages will be updated as more information is available.
Fredonia also participates in national/regional assessment efforts including the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and SUNY's Student Opinion Survey (SOS). Data from these studies assists decision-makers at all levels of the university.

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara Reviews
Its OKI've got small lashes so you would think that I would like this but the brush is harsh and hurts to put on my lashes. I like a brush that is soft and doesn't hurt. I do like how big my lashes look but not that they hurt when I apply it. — 3 years, 10 months agosadistickittens | 32 reviews
Big, Beautiful Raccoon EyesI like this mascara when I first put it on. It covers the lashes evenly without clumping. Adds volume and even a bit of curl when applied right. The problem comes after I've been wearing it all day. I am horrified when I look in the mirror and see the dark residue under my eyes from this mascara. That's a deal breaker, if you ask me. — 3 years, 10 months agomissaudrey | 56 reviews
Terrible brushI picked up this mascara when I couldn't find my usual in brown and I absolutely despised it. The brush is so thick that you can't really get close to the base of your lashes and by the time you reach the tips, it fans out so bad that four or five lashes just turn into a large clump. Yikes! — 3 years, 11 months agoerin_spacemuseum | 4 reviews
Great!This mascara doesn't clump, doesn't flake or look dull! It bolds my eyes and doesn't give me too vampy of a look. It is great on the bottom lashes and I just adore the brush! The tube can dry up quickly, mine still works well and I've had it since july (it is now September)! Even though the formula can dry up, it still stays on the brush quite nicely. This mascara stays on fantastic, but is also easy to remove at night. I recommend this product who wants a natural but lengthening mascara. — 4 years agograciem4298 | 10 reviews
good mascaraI usually use the orange tube of this. This is very good mascarra, but I think orange tube may be a little better. Its still a great mascara. I dont have any problems with flaking or clumping. great price. This is supposed to give legnth but dont really see much difference from original. I will go back to the orange tube next time. — 4 years, 2 months agoDoxiemom4 | 19 reviews
Best mascara I have ever usedFor starters I want to say this mascara is amazing! I have used a variety of mascaras like rimmel, Revlon, covergirl lash blast volume, maybeline, and Mary Kay, and out of all of these mascaras I have tried covergirls lash blast fusion is the best. It leaves my eyelashes clump free and the mascara never wears off during the day. This mascara gives so much volume to my eyelashes and highlights my e...read moreyes without clumping which is amazing. Another plus about this mascara is that it is very affordable. I have been using this mascara for 4 years now and it is the best I know. — 4 years, 2 months agoCurly_girly | 6 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
LOVEI have been using this mascarra for YEARS! I am hooked! This is lengthening, volumizing, and doesn't clump! If you apply is right you can get the fullest longest lashes! I get compliments all the time when I wear this. Im told: "Your eyelashes are amazing!", "Your eyelashes are so long!!!", "I love your eyes today what mascarra are you wearing and where can I get it!?" so many times. I am in love with this mascarra! — 4 years, 5 months agoCountryGirl13 | 33 reviews
Sorry, not impressedI didnt find anything special about this mascara. Actually I used this along with another to make my eyes look better. I would pass on this product. — 4 years, 5 months agoMelissaV | 30 reviews
Boo to this specific formula!I was disappointed after using this mascara. The formula was too much for my eyelashes.. instead of giving me volume..my eyelashes just looked flat and not thick and full... I love the original Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume formula.. and in love..yes in love with the LashBlast 24 Hours formula.. sticking to the original stuff for me. — 4 years, 7 months agoJoana84 | 7 reviews
My Current Drugstore FavoriteNo idea why this has such a so-so rating as I have really liked this mascara. I use both Black and Brown versions and I get good volume and no flaking. Plus it also lasts well. I agree I don't care for the brush, I like smaller as they give more control I feel, but can live with this one and it's easy enough to swap for a different brush if it really was a problem. Great mascara — 4 years, 7 months agoAlana_Danes | 58 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Power outages caused by the hurricane this weekend kept volume very light, but the storm must have disproportionately affected the bears. The bulls were in charge all day, and the buying was tremendously lopsided, with breadth better than 7 to 1 positive and a huge move in the small-cap indices.
What was particularly interesting about the action today was that there were hardly any pullbacks at all. We gapped up to start the day and never looked back. We even finished at the highs on a little burst of volume.
This sort of action is indicative of high-frequency trading. The computers just keep on pushing as they extract their fraction-of-a-penny profit on the move. It is a lot easier to push the market in a straight line once it begins to move, and we saw a good example today.
It was downright humorous to hear all the attempts to explain the action today. Take your choice from window-dressing, Greek banks, hurricane relief, too much negativity, Ben Bernanke, high-frequency trading and so on. It really doesn't matter what the reason was, the important thing was that we took our cue from the price action and didn't try to fight it.
Technically, the bulls even managed to break through last week's high, which looks good but is undermined to some extent by the low volume. You can almost hear the bears muttering about how this is setting up as a bull trap, but these moves have proven to be bear-killers more often than not.
The toughest thing about this sort of action is that there just aren't many easy entries. The charts have never developed very well, and a big low-volume move doesn't do much to improve the situation. The good news is that even if you managed to put just a little money to work, you probably had some gains.
It is tough to believe that the bulls can keep this going without some sort of rest, but they have done it before. In fact, this action feels a lot like the move we had back at the end of June, which everyone thought was window-dressing but went a few more days before it topped.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hello Doctor,
I recently started taking 1mg of finasteride (approximately 3-4 months ago) and I'm seeing some noticeable hair growth.
A couple days ago I started taking some adderall and noticed that it was causing my hair to shed. Since the 1mg dosage is meant for men with normal testosterone and DHT levels (and considering the fact that adderall increases testosterone plasma levels, which translates into more DHT production), would an increased dosage of finasteride negate this increase in testosterone, and thus, DHT levels?
Also, when would be appropriate time to take the finasteride so that the drug's effect will coincide to provide maximum efficacy against the increased DHT production from the adderall? How many hours/minutes before or after taking the adderall?
Thank you
I can understand your concerns, but you need to know the basics of hair loss. Chasing DHT levels is not the answer and this medication may have a direct impact on your hair, independent of any genetic contributions. If your hair loss is genetic (otherwise known as male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia) there is no definite cure. Drugs such as minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) do work, but they do not STOP or CURE hair loss! Results vary among individuals. And even if you regrow hair, over the course of your lifetime you will still slowly lose hair. Taking these medications will help by minimizing the hair loss.
With respect to Adderall, it may have an effect on hair loss. Even if it did, taking more finasteride will likely not help. Studies have indicated that it does not make a huge difference between taking 1mg or 5mg of finasteride (aside from higher side effect risk). In some rare cases, I have recommended 2.5mg finasteride for patients, but I've yet to see any gain or slowing of hair loss as of yet (likely too soon to tell). I don't mean to sound bleak, but DHT is not the only answer to hair loss. We have not discovered the complete mechanism for the way in which the genes work at the hair growth metabolic level… yet!

Senators John Hoeven and Kent Conrad and Congressman Rick Berg announced today that the U.S. Commercial Service office in Kazakhstan will remain open and continue helping North Dakota and U.S. companies grow their exports to Kazakhstan. The delegation has been working to keep open the office, which provides U.S. trade promotion assistance in one of North Dakota's largest foreign markets.
"Our North Dakota companies have good opportunities to market and sell their products to the people of Kazakhstan," said the delegation. "Kazakhstan is an important emerging market for North Dakota and U.S. goods, and we need to continue aggressively working to promote and support North Dakota companies in Kazakhstan. We're pleased that the U.S. Commercial Service will continue assisting our businesses as they work to break into and grow in the Kazakhstani market."
From 2005 to 2010, North Dakota companies exported more than $192 million in goods and services to Kazakhstan, with exports to Kazakhstan growing by 120 percent since 2000. Additionally, North Dakota has increased its overall exports by more than 400 percent in the same period.
Earlier this year, the Department of Commerce proposed closing the U.S Commercial Service office at the U.S Embassy in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The delegation pressed Kenneth Fairfax, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Kazakhstan, to drop the proposal. They have also been working with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S State Department to ensure that the U.S. maintains its presence in Kazakhstan to continue expanding North Dakota exports to the nation. The U.S. Commercial Service has agreed to continue its services with three employees in Kazakhstan.

By Austin Ellis
"What does the fox say?" This is a phrase heard by many across the world. Several may wonder where the phrase came from and what it means. We all know that dogs go "Woof" and cats go "Meow", but what does the fox say?
The famous phrase is actually from a music video called The Fox by Ylvis, a Norwegian music group. The video is mainly meant for comedic purposes. It went viral in early September with over 80 million views on YouTube and growing.
The song/video poses the question of "What does the fox say?" throughout. Then it proceeds to feature many dancers dressed as foxes who sing random noises with neon lights in the background of a forest. The point of this is to get across to the viewers that foxes make several noises, but with a flashy presentation to spark extra interest to its viewers.
The reason why people like the song so much is because of how random it is. They find it hysterical the first few times because of the random singing that it features. However for some students, it's been getting on their nerves. Some students have been playing the song profusely in class, which has been a minor distraction in the learning environment.
People are praising it as the next "Gangnam Style." As we all know, "Gangnam Style" received love as well as some hate. Derek Ehrhardt claims the song as just a fad. "It's extremely annoying, and it's pointless. I think it'll be dead within the next month."
Here is the video from YouTube.

Rockford and Delano boys and girls soccer teams have completed the regular season and opened play in the Section 6A tournament Tuesday after this issue went to press.
If Delano teams can win the first game, the girls and boys squads must play at the No. 1 section seed Thursday, Oct. 11.
The No. 9 seed Tiger boys (5-6-1) played at No. 8 Providence Academy Tuesday, the winner to face No. 1 Waconia Thursday. The semifinals are Saturday, Oct. 13 and finals Tuesday, Oct. 16 at a neutral field to be determined.
Delano had mixed results the last week of the regular season, losing 3-1 to Mound-Westonka before defeating Hutchinson 4-1.
Rockford boys take a 6-8-1 record to the playoffs after defeating PACT 1-0 and losing to Big Lake 3-1 last week. The Rockets faced No. 4 Holy Family Tuesday, with the winner to face either No. 5 Orono or No. 12 Watertown-Mayer Thursday.
In the girls bracket, Delano (7-6-3) earned the No. 8 seed and played at home against Mound-Westonka Tuesday. The winner would take on No. 1 seed Benilde-St. Margaret's Thursday.
Delano lost 2-0 to Mound-Westonka last Tuesday when goalie Kelsey Delisle made 16 saves. Coach Amy Glitsos said Amanda Gielau, Addie Taylor and Maureen Booth played well defensively.
Last Thursday the Tigers earned a 3-3 overtime tie against Hutchinson despite having a 38-8 edge in shots on goal. Delano goals were netted by Kayla Manske, Kallie Statema and Gabby Cordes.
Rockford girls opened at No. 5 Breck Tuesday as the No. 12 section seed. The winner plays either No. 4 Chaska or No. 13 West Lutheran Thursday.
The Rockets played just once last week, falling to Cambridge-Isanti 2-0.

Students in the Cultural Studies BDP form a community with shared interests in analyzing the construction of cultural production, identities, and histories. Cultural Studies students have come from a wide range of majors at UT, including American Studies, Anthropology, Architecture, Business, Communication Studies, Engineering, Education, Fine Arts, Journalism, Public Relations, Radio-Television-Film, Religious Studies, Sociology, Social Work, and many others.
Name: Jared Cohen
BDP: Cultural Studies
Major: Communication Studies
What attracted you to the Bridging Disciplines Programs?
I wanted to increase my knowledge of music, film, and every other aspect of the entertainment industry. Having such a profound interest in Pop Cultures, I felt the BDPs could provide a great foundation for just that.
How have the BDPs helped shape or influence your plans for the future?
My BDP has allowed me to focus my career goals towards working in the entertainment industry. Pop culture has been something I always had an interest in, and I love being able to earn credit for something I love doing. Through my connecting experiences, I have discovered that film publicity is an occupation I can see myself doing in the future.
What were the highlights of your connecting experience and what did you learn from it?
One of the greatest moments of my internship at Fox Searchlight Pictures was meeting the director and cast of Slumdog Millionaire and holding the Oscar for Best Picture! It was an unbelievable experience. I had been working on the awards campaign for the film in Los Angeles. One other memorable moment was interviewing Alexis Bledel and Zach Gilford at the LA Teen Press Day for the film Post Grad. I wrote an article about the interview and it is now featured on the film's mini-website on Teen.
My connecting experience gave me confidence in my work abilities. In addition, I was able to find a career that combines both my interests of communication and the entertainment industry.

Spring is just around the corner, and bromance is in the air.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and action movie star Steven Seagal have joined forces, using their collective machismo and star power to improve the overall health of Russia's children, two-thirds of whom, Putin claims, suffer from chronic illnesses by the age of 14.
And we thought Kim Jong Un and Dennis Rodman were unlikely bedfellows...
According to the Christian Science Monitor, the two recently opened a Moscow martial arts center together, a launch which coincided with Mr. Putin's announcement to reinstate a Soviet-era mass sports program designed to make Russian youngsters more healthy, active, and fit for military service.
"The revival of this system – in a new, modern format – could bring major benefits.... Children should become strong, they should be healthy, love sports and have an opportunity to practice them, should know how to defend themselves, their loved ones, their family. Ultimately, they should be able to defend their motherland," he said, according to a transcript published on the Kremlin's official website.
The inclusion of Seagal in Pootie-Poot's physical fitness revival plan is a typical Putin flourish that, while unlikely to carry much political significance, is sure to pack a big PR punch — for even though Seagal's box-office appeal has somewhat declined from his halcyon blockbusters of the mid-'90s, he continues to have a very loyal international fan base and remains a highly bankable star.
So whether you're an avid fan of the pony-tailed peronsality or the Kremlin commander, there is no doubt that when you combine Putin's flare for Soviet era nostalgia with Seagal's undeniable international star power, you've got yourself one kick-ass combination.
And just for kicks, here's a highlight reel featuring the best of Seagal:

I got 450 saline implants in 2009 because I had lost my natural big boobs when I lost 20lbs. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I miss my natural boobs, I hate how big these make me look, my husband doesn't like them, I feel like my chest hurts all the time, I get comfortable when I sleep, They don't make pretty bras that fit me... I can go on forever. I want these things out ASAP.
Implant Removal no lift, no replacement Houston, TX
I got 450 saline implants in 2009 because I had...
Appointment set!
I just set up my consultation with dr. Todd Adams for implant removal & a tummy tuck! My heart is pounding just thinking about it!
Went to my consult
I walked into my consult today wanting an explant & tummy tuck, I walked out wanting a replacement smaller implant, lift & tummy tuck. Ugh. All totaled up to a whopping 17,300. Now that I'm home I realized that the doc just really talked me into it at the moment & I know I really do just want an explant. I think I'll be setting up a consult with a different doctor soon cause I want to try to explant first & see how they bounce back. The doc was pretty sure that I would not be happy with my results if I just ex planted alone. Now I'm so confused on what to do.
Okay need to do something asap.
My left implant has fallen out from behind the muscle & is causing me some discomfort. I called care credit & I'm waiting for them to send me my card so I can have my implants removed finally. I'm so terrified of what the outcome will be. I already have lots of lose skin & emptiness even with the implants still in. I know it's gonna look awful but I do not want a lift & I damn sure don't want any more implants but into my body.
Consult booked
I set up a consult with a doc who will remove the implants without having to put me under. I am absolutely terrified & I sincerely hope I do not regret taking them out. I Know I'll be happy as long as they're not disfigured for some reason. If only I could see the future.
Date booked :)
I met dr. Roehl today & I fell in love with her. She never tried to persuade me to get a lift or just exchange like so many of the other docs I've seen. So here I am booked for June 17th. Explant under local. Feeling good about this decision so far. ????
Cannot wait to get these things out!
Just a couple more days till I'm free! My left implant has really been causing more pain the last couple of days. It just feels like it's trying to bust out of my skin. Such an awful feeling! I haven't been getting much sleep due to the discomfort so at this point Im really not concerned with how they're gonna look, I just know it's time to get these bags out!
Today's the day!
The long wait is almost over! Just a few more hours & I'll be on the other side with some of you lovely ladies. I just really want to thank all of you brave women for sharing your stories & helping me find the courage to go for what's best for my body! Couldn't have done this without yall!
I've entered the flat side!
Procedure was extremely easy & quick. My doc is truely wonderful & made me feel totally relaxed. I am in shock at my appearance. I thought I had more breast tissue & I thought theyd look better than they do but I was also prepared for the worse. They're exactly what I didn't want them to look like but I know it's only been a few hours & they will change. I've got them secured in a well fitted sports bra so hopefully ill see some positive changes soon.
Feeling awesome :)
My poor tatas have been through so much & I can really feel such a difference in the way I feel without carrying around those fake bags. The scale says I'm two lbs lighter which is an awesome plus but on top of that my husband said I look younger & thinner. It reminds him of how I looked when we first met. I haven't had any pain, all I've taken is two tylenols & I feel fine. I showered & I can alreAdy see a big difference just in 24hrs. I can't to go bra shopping & although I'm looking very empty & saggy im still so happy Ive made this decision. Thank you ladies for all your kind words & support!
So happy!
This morning I woke up & finally noticed some fluffing! I'm so amazed that I don't have any neck or back pain what so ever. I really haven't felt this good in years. I feel slim & sexy. I am so happy I made the decision to remove. Will post pics when I get a chance.
Progress pics :)
I see some slight fluffing!
Itchy incision site???
Any one get real itchy where they're healing? Right along the incision on my lefty it's just so itchy. What did yall use to help with that?
Roller coaster of emotions
Yesterday tried on swim suits cause I have to get in one on 4th of July. It was not fun, I still have yet to find one... It's hard to find something to wear cause all I can wear are sports bras that make me look totally flat. But at the same time I do love my tiny squishy boobies. I am proud of me for doing something healthy for me instead of worrying about how sexy I'll look. I'm trying to focus more on working on my inner beauty and not caring what I look like so much on the outside. No regrets just trying to get comfortable being just me again.
Some before & afters
Two weeks post op.
I feel like it's been way more than two weeks for some reason. Had my stitches out yesterday & luckily that was a piece of cake. I am really loving the new/old me. I honestly feel a way that I haven't in a long time. Sleeping great, no back or neck pain, no pain in side of left breast. I feel like me again. I'm really looking forward to seeing this upper pole fill in just a little. I see a slight change everyday. I still haven't made the big reveal to the hubby but I'm sure I will soon. Little nervous about that... I hung out with some friends recently & no one has seemed to notice which is very surprising cause I feel like I look so different but I'm glad no one said anything. Happy healing ladies & thanks for all yalls awesome support.
Pretty impressive scar after only two weeks
I forgot to post my scars in which I'm very impressed. It's only been two weeks & you can hardly see them. My doc did an amazing job. I'm also posting a pic of all the products I using to help the fluffing process. I love the bust cream!
One month post pics
One month post op & I'm really loving the way I look. So happy I made the decision to remove. I have made the big reveal to my husband & although he's been extremely supportive, he couldn't seem to rise to the occasion if yall know what I mean. In our 15 years together this has NEVER happened. So ya that was pretty harsh. When I'm standing they look fine but when I lay down they look very distorted due to all the extra skin I guess. He seen them laying down & I had no idea they looked like that while laying flat or I wouldn't have showed him at that angle. So we will not be using the missionary position for quite some time I'm sure. Sorry for the TMI just trying to tell it like it is. I'll post some pics of what I'm talking about.
Two month update pics
I am thankful for the progress I've made in the fluffing department. I have struggled the last month with feeling confident in a bikini. It doesn't help that a lot of my friends have gorgeous fake boobies but with that said when I look at pics it really helps me to realize I look fine with out my implants, maybe even better. I hope I can get to the point when I don't try to hide them from my husband. It's a long process within myself that needs to most help to heal.
Check out what three months of healing can do!
Can't believe when I compare these photos. So thankful they fluffed! I've been doing lots of chest exercises to help with the process. Can't wait to see what they'll look like in further months. Happy healing ladies! Don't be afraid!
One year post implant removal no lift
Finally got some of my natural volume back. Very happy with the progress. No regrets on having the implants removed as of now. I do have days I some times wish I could get new pretty implants but then I look at the pics of my old ones & realize I'm good with what I naturally have.

text: Hi all! Happy Holidays! It's been a while since my last posting. I've recently commissioned 1 suit with Lee Baron & another with Y William Yu. Thought it'll be good to share their recent work here & get some advise from you Gurus. Here goes: Lee Baron: I've just completed my basted fitting with Peter. It's a JJ Minnis Fresco, Navy Pinstripe for a summer suit suitable for the scorching Australian weather. The suit will be 2 buttoned & half lined, with High notch lapel & slanted pockets. The jacket will come with 2 trousers (one with side adjuster, the other with belt loops). Here's a pic of the first fitting: All looks fine for now except for the button stance that is a little too high for my liking. Have asked Peter to lower it for a more elongated silhouette. Any thoughts? Y William Yu: It wasn't my original intention to engage with them for a CMT since I have never purchased anything there. (Not a very good idea isn't it, since I don't know how their handcraft will work for me) I Just don't know what got into me that day & I decided to go with them, entrusting them with my Scabal Eton s130 Dark Blue fabric for my 2nd suit. Andy was really friendly, taking my measurements and measured my best fitted suit. He explained to me the process and asked about my preference. After looking though pics that I've emailed him, he seemed to have got the picture and told me to return next week for my basted fitting. Will keep everyone posted on the progress. Happy 2013!!!

If a hostname beginning with "/" is given, it's taken to specify Unix-socket communication using a socketfile in the directory whose absolute path is PGHOST. A tad crocky but it avoided having to add an additional parameter to the PQconnect family of functions ... Also, on the postmaster side, there is a postmaster commandline parameter to set the directory containing the socket files (and lockfiles). So it's possible for a given installation to configure the socketfiles anywhere without modifying the binaries at all. But you do need to set PGHOST on the client side to make this work. It all comes back to what the default is. Basically, what's bothering me is the idea that the RPM distribution will have a different default socket location than the regular source distribution. I think that will cause a lot more problems than it solves. regards, tom lane

Yes we do. I'm pretty sure Lemko and I both have Grand Marquis currently.
The new Avalon is actually quite a departure from the older models. It is a bit smaller and based on some owner reports here on Edmunds, it rides much firmer than previous models. Sign of the times, I guess. It looks like a nice car except for the big mouth bass grill, that is similar to the Fusion. I hope that trend goes away soon.

I am surprised Andre doesn't have a 70s TC out in his back 40.
The new Avalon is certainly homely from the front, but I bet it rides and drives nicer than a Camry. Loaded up though, would be tough not to simply move over to an ES - at least I'd get a free snack while waiting for the car at service time :shades:
I bought an Avalon twice over the ES mostly because it was a bigger car. Now that they are the same size, it would be hard to pick the Avalon over the ES. I'm sure if you keep the options list short the ES isn't that much more expensive than the Avalon.
2015 Buick Enclave / 2017 Hyundai Elantra
ES might have more standard, too. Dealer experience might seal the deal - local Lexus place is pretty swanky, Toyota dealer is what one would expect.
A co-worker who is my age drives an ES - she loves it. Mostly just because of the features and reliability - it's near 100K now (07), zero issues.

When I first saw my grandmother's 1991 Town Car, I fell in love with it. I still have a soft spot for those things, but I used to dream of owning that car some day. Oddly enough, the other car I really liked at the same time was on the opposite end of the spectrum.... a 1992 Geo Tracker. :blush:

Yeah, I recall it as being a fairly peppy car; it certainly rode well over rough roads! She was a real estate broker, and many times the houses in south-central Alaska were down pot-holed gravel roads. That car soaked them up like they weren't even there. She was pretty good at flogging the throttle, too. After the first time she cut the rear tires loose out of a stop light, we started referring to her as "Hot Rod Grandma." Her excuse (acting surprised) was that her '85 (LTC, too) just didn't have that much pep.

Sorry hosts...I edited my "bad" post so here's the "clean" version!
I know we've been moving cars from Miami to Tampa airport since last Thursday and tomorrow is our last day if things do not change which I suspect they will. I suspect 75% of our work is done with Hertz. Hertz is a client of the company I work for and we do move a load of their iron. I'm truly amazed at what a well oiled machine it is with these rental company's and their logistics. And Hertz does seem to have a varied selection of vehicles to choose from. I especially like their Emerald Club offerings...many nice Mercedes products and other high zoot vehicles.

2015 Audi A3 (wife) / 2015 Golf TSI (me) / 2009 Nissan Versa SL Hatch (daughter #1) / 2008 Hyundai Accent GLS (daughter #2)
While driving over to Tampa in a Chevy Equinox, got the dreaded call from the wife..."the check engine light came on the other day", something I didn't want to hear. Canceled the detail and will go to Auto Zone first thing to get a read out of what the problem could be. Hopefully it won't be a very expensive fix. If it is something major, well, I already told her that she'd just have to park it at my daughters apartment for awhile and use the Accent as the kid lives across the street from school so doesn't drive it. They drive it once a week to grocery shop. Depending on what's wrong and the cost factor will depend how long she'll use the kids car as I don't want to put major bucks into a car with 117k miles on it now. Best idea would be to either trade it or sell it outright and possibly share the daughters car as the wife spends 3 nights a week down there anyways...her clients are pretty close so makes no sense to drive 28 miles when she can go to the other place and drive 5. My idea was that if we do end up dumping the Mazda3s and she does not want a '13 model would be to cancel the Mazda's insurance and just put the kids car on our policy for a few months until the 14's debut.
This is all speculation at this point as we have no idea what is wrong. Could be the gas cap or something serious. Once we find out, we'll make the appropriate decision...there has to be a point where throwing $ into a vehicle isn't worth it any more. And we do have the other option of just taking over the Accent and canceling one insurance policy for the time being. Not even thinking about car shopping yet, but I am planning on taking the Kia test drive tomorrow if there is time. I bet we could get a screaming deal on a leftover model right now with the end of month and all. Interesting quandry here but something tells me this is gonna be a simple and easy fix with little cash outlay...and that wouls suit me just fine also!

I know it's impossible to not speculate over the worst case scenarios, but I'm sure it will work out to be just another maintenance item, if more than a hiccup at all. Keep in mind that even if it does cost a few bucks, it costs far less to keep that car running than replacing it with anything else.2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup

Got the new fuel door for the new car today - old one wouldn't align right and apparently there's a TSB about them being warped. New one fits a lot better, but the paint quality on it is pretty poor - paint on the car is nearly flawless, several small flaws (dimples) on this fuel door, which leads me to believe it was painted locally. I am probably going to go back and discuss this within the week.
good point. I say, now that he knows the drill, to just sneak in to a run he is not working at, and make off with one of the cars. Wear a disguise, and if no one notices him, could be a long time before they figure it out!
2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4i Limited Tech (mine), 2013 Acura RDX AWD (wife's) and 2015 Jetta Sport (daughter's)
parts like that normally are shipped unpainted, so yeah, a kid in the body shop probably threw the paint on it. Good luck getting that worked out!
No one ever said being a perfectionist was going to be easy.

Absolutely! They really cross reference everything so they know exactly who has what at all times. Like your idea and there are some really sweet rides that I could see us driving for a long time. Went onto Kelly Blue Book and I figure her car is in good to fair condition with the upper limit being $4400 and the lower one at $3500 when traded in. Personally, I think this car could get more as a private sale...it's FAST and except for a couple of small dings and some hail dimples and headlights that are hazed over, could be a great 1st car for some kid and I bet the dentless paint guys could get it looking brand new for maybe $500. The paint is still glossy as it's had no major structural work and aside from the small dents & dings, dimples and hazed headlights, the car looks good! It just needs a good detail also which I have canceled for tomorrow. Since getting the new motor mounts, it purrs like new and though the a/c isn't working 100%, it still works. For someone who needs a vehicle for not a lot of $, this is that car!
A major drawback is I've never done a private sale. My f-i-l did it for our Buick Skylark back in 1985 and he sold it pretty quickly in Miami. Not sure I really want to deal with all this but it might be worth it in the long run if we do get offered crap money from a dealer. And here in Florida, we have the sales tax difference when trading in, not even sure this would go to auction with that many miles. But we'll have to wait and see exactly what the problem is. Personally, I think we'd both be happy if it's something very minor/inexpensive and be able to keep it for another year as I'm so busy at my so called "part time" job and tax season in full swing...this is just a crappy time for this to happen to us! Our ace in the hole is we have access to our kid's Accent if we decide to just sit on this issue for awhile so no real emergency here. As much as I love cars, I'm just not ready to do all that's necessary to buy right now. This won't get me expelled from here I hope as we will eventually but that new car...just not right now!

Funny thing. Immediately after typing that, I hopped in the car and went back (dealer is under 10 mins away in normal traffic). They probably think I am crazy, but did see the flaws, and say they will order another - and it is indeed painted locally. Hopefully this will be better. I am pleased with the paint on the car itself - I went over it very closely the other day, and found only the tiniest flaw, which would be hidden to a normal person because of the white paint.
Paint to match stuff can be really good; the dealer just needs to get an experienced person on the job.
The color was fine (the white is pretty standard) - my problem is the finish. I am expecting the new one to be acceptable. I could deal with a flaw, just not 10 or 20 of them (there are that many).
Sandy, odds are even if it is something more than a gas cap, if the car is running normally, you can just ignore the light for a while. Somethings might be vital, but not always.
you will probably end up needing to fix it anyway, since selling a car with the CEL on is much harder, and slaughters your sale price.
So get it checked, and let us know.

The paint is usually easy, it all comes out of the computer pump gizmo. It's the prep and application that's key, and that boils down to the person doing the job. My friend in the truck canopy business had a gem of a painter and the truck caps he did looked factory or better than OEM. A couple of other guys he had were okay, but sometimes they had to redo stuff.
Sandy, lots of auto parts stores will pull codes for free. If you get a code, that can at least narrow the issue down to the system that's reporting the problem.
If the benz is some kind of pearl color, that can be a nightmare to match right. Especially in white.
2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4i Limited Tech (mine), 2013 Acura RDX AWD (wife's) and 2015 Jetta Sport (daughter's)
Yeah, there were always a few colors, even in the F-150 or Silverados that the cap store saw that were tougher to do. But a good shop can likely manage fine. I always enjoyed watching them put the paint code in the dispenser machine and seeing the color come out. Seems like they used a PPG system. They could do small quantities to match mirror housings and other small parts.
I had two pearl white cars and both needed a little body work. The body shop allowed extra hours to blend it properly. It is a three stage process (at least on Toyota's "Blizzard Pearl")
2015 Buick Enclave / 2017 Hyundai Elantra
blending in is the key. And exactly what you can't do on a stand-alone piece like a gas cap lid.

Women's basketball: Oklahoma State keeps Tech winless in Big 12
STILLWATER, Okla. — Brittney Martin scored 15 points to lead No. 11 Oklahoma State in an 82-56 rout of Texas Tech on Saturday.
Liz Donohoe added 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Cowgirls (16-1, 5-1 Big 12), while Brittany Atkins scored 14, LaShawn Jones had 13 and Kendra Suttles chipped in with 10. Oklahoma State shot 50 percent.
Texas Tech (6-11, 0-6) was led by Amber Battle with 11 points. The Lady Raiders were 1-of-9 on 3-pointers.
Oklahoma State led by just one point with 1:51 left in the first half but made three baskets in a row, including a jumper by Martin, to take a 33-28 lead at the break. The second half was all Oklahoma State, though. The Cowgirls started the period on a 20-5 run.
West Virginia 77, Oklahoma 63: In Morgantown, W. Va., Oklahoma (11-7, 2-3 Big 12) fought back from a 17-point deficit but ran out of gas as West Virginia (16-2, 5-1) held off the Sooners.
Bria Holmes' 3-pointer eight minutes into the game gave West Virginia a 25-8 lead as the Mountaineers started the game 7-for-9 from the field.
Aaryn Ellenberg scored 17 of her 28 points in the first half as the Sooners cut the lead to five and trailed 39-31 at halftime. OU tied the score 53-53 with 11 minutes to play but made just three of its next 20 field-goal attempts while West Virginia went on a 10-0 run.
UT-San Antonio 58, North Texas 56: In Denton, North Texas battled back from a 17-point deficit and got a 3-point field goal from Laura McCoy with six seconds to play to take the lead, only to see UTSA's Miki Turner hit a desperation 3-point shot off the backboard at the buzzer.
Trailing by double figures much of the game, North Texas (7-10, 1-3 C-USA) rallied behind Alexis Hyder, who had 20 points and 12 rebounds, including six offensive rebounds.
Hyder had her first double-double of the season and 11th of her career.
UTSA (11-6, 2-2), trailing 51-48 with 4:48 left, slowed the game in the final
three minutes, milking the clock, working for good shots and re-taking the lead
in the final minute. Turnovers on two straight UNT possessions allowed the
Roadrunners to take a 55-51 lead with 37 seconds to play.

Then again, "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is not a summer blockbuster. It doesn't come out until Nov. 22.
Yet the franchise based on Suzanne Collins' trilogy of young adult books has become such a phenomenon that Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. made it the star of a look-ahead presentation in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Director Francis Lawrence, who is new to the series, revealed that he was still "furiously" cutting the film.
Hemsworth, who plays Gale Hawthorne, the childhood friend of the series' heroine, kicked in a vote of confidence.
"I know that he's not going to disappoint anyone," he said.
In a blow to the super fans, or "tributes," who have been scrounging for news of the sequel for months, there was no sign of Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen, a teenager who survives a reality television-style battle to the death in an imagined future and becomes a symbol of resistance.
The industry audience was treated to a trailer, which will soon appear in theaters, full of dystopian grays and blues, dirty children with hopeful, upturned faces, visions of a steely-eyed Katniss, and snippets of bureaucrats planning her death.
Fans have watched the teaser more than 20 million times on YouTube since it was posted on Sunday.
In the sequel, Katniss and fellow tribute Peeta Mellark embark on a victory tour of downtrodden districts as figureheads for the oppressive Capitol.
An impoverished tomboy in the first movie, Katniss now looks as made-up and richly outfitted as a doll. But she is not a willing puppet.
"Catching Fire" raises the stakes from the story of two teens fighting for their lives to the fate of an entire population.
In the trailer, we see Katniss' half-hearted smile turn into a scowl of resistance as frou-frou, ultra-tan advisers in the Capitol, fret about what should be done with her and other Hunger Games victors, finally deciding they must be "eliminated."
"I think we've actually been able to really ratchet up the emotion and the scope this time," Francis Lawrence said.

NHS stop smoking advisers help you quit06-12-2011
Did you know that wherever you live in the UK, you have easy access to a free service that's proven to help you stop smoking?
The NHS Stop Smoking Service is a national network of advisers who are trained to help you quit. They will give you accurate information and advice on how to quit, and give you professional support during the first few weeks after you have stopped smoking.
They also make it easy and affordable for you to get stop smoking treatment, such as Champix (varenicline) or Zyban (bupropion) if it's suitable for you, or nicotine replacement therapy such as patches and gum.
You will normally be offered a one-to-one appointment with an adviser, but many areas also offer group and drop-in services as well. Depending on where you live, the venue could be a local GP surgery, pharmacy, high street shop or even a mobile bus clinic.
Jennifer Percival, who trains NHS stop smoking advisers, says that a combination of support and treatment is proven to give you the best chance of stopping smoking.
"The majority of people who see an adviser will get through the first month after quitting without smoking a cigarette. And overall, you're up to four times more likely to stop smoking for good if you receive help from an NHS Stop Smoking Service," she says.
How to contact a stop smoking adviser
Your GP can refer you, or you can phone your local NHS Stop Smoking Service to make an appointment with an adviser:
In England
- Find stop smoking services in England.
- Call the free NHS Smokefree Helpline on 0800 022 4332.
In Scotland
- Find stop smoking services in Scotland.
- Call the free Smokeline on 0800 84 84 84.
In Wales
- Call the free Stop Smoking Wales Helpline on 0800 085 2219.
In Northern Ireland
- Call the free Smokers' Helpline on 0800 85 85 85.
What happens at the first stop smoking session?
At your first meeting with an adviser, you'll talk about why you smoke and why you want to quit, as well as any past attempts to quit that you've made. You'll also be able to decide on a quit date.
You'll be offered a breath test which shows the level of carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas in cigarette smoke) in your body.
"You don't need to be sure you want to quit or have a quit plan in mind before this meeting," says Jennifer. "You can use the time to talk your situation through with the adviser without making a commitment. If you do decide to quit, the adviser can help you form an action plan and set a quit date, usually in a week or so."
Stop smoking aids
At your first session, you'll also discuss NHS-endorsed treatments available to help you stop smoking. These are nicotine replacement therapy – including patches, gum, lozenges, microtabs, inhalators and mouth and nasal sprays – and the stop smoking tablets Champix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion).
"No one is forced to use treatment," says Jennifer, "but we will encourage it because the results are better. All the treatments we recommend can double your chances of quitting.
"We can help you decide which type of treatment is right for you and how to use it. In some cases, we can directly supply you with the treatment before you leave, or we can arrange for you to receive a prescription or a voucher for it. In the case of nicotine replacement therapy, it often works out at least a third cheaper than buying it from a pharmacy."
She points out that NHS advisers only provide evidence-based treatments. "We won't suggest or recommend hypnosis or acupuncture as there's not enough evidence they help you stop smoking."
Read more about stop smoking treatments.
Preventing relapse
As a general rule, you will have weekly face-to-face or phone contact with your adviser for the first four weeks after you quit smoking, then less frequently for a further eight weeks.
At each meeting, you'll receive a supply of treatment or a prescription for it, and have your carbon monoxide level measured. You'll have an emergency number for out-of-hours times when you crave a cigarette and want help to avoid lighting up.
"Going on the 12-week programme requires you to commit to not having a single puff of a cigarette," says Jennifer. "Measuring carbon monoxide levels is not about checking up on you. It's more to motivate you to stay smokefree by showing how you body is already recovering."
NHS stop smoking advisers are also very experienced in helping you identify difficult situations when there may be a strong temptation to relapse and start smoking. And they can help you come up with ways to cope with or avoid these situations.
"If you do relapse, we won't judge or nag you or take it personally. We're a friendly face that understands how difficult it is to quit, and we'll help you get back on track to becoming a non-smoker," says Jennifer.
Find out how to cope with cravings.

That was the ideological fuel behind President Barack Obama's campaign, and few can deny the power his rhetoric had to stir even staunch disbelievers.
Yet rhetoric does not equal action.
We stand at an intersection today as a nation - on the heels of Monday's National Day of Service and observance of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, as we witness this morning's inauguration of a new president.
Much has been said, much has been promised, much has been hoped for from this administration.
How the next four years play out remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure.
America does not run on hope and change alone.
To be honest, some days it gets harder and harder to believe in change of any kind.
The economy is in a tailspin. More and more Americans are losing their jobs. War in the Middle East drags on, sucking away billions of dollars.
California faces a $42 billion deficit because our legislators have yet to get their acts together and balance the budget. The list could go on and on.
What are we, as a nation - a community of Americans - to do?
Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, we should not have faith in our government alone to effect change.
Now is the time for each American to shoulder personal responsibility for the change we need.
It means learning how to live below our means.
It means keeping our elected officials accountable, and holding their feet to the fire when necessary.
California has the highest-paid lawmakers in the country. They make a $116,208 annual salary, plus they receive $173 for daily expenses - collecting an additional $34,680 on average per year.
Perhaps it's time we heap a little more shame and responsibility on their heads for not cutting back while the rest of us are struggling.
Indeed, we live in a free-market economy where there's nothing wrong with being successful and making money. But maybe it's time for executives to slim down their fat paychecks. Maybe it's time for unions to stand together and decide not to take pay raises.
And at the risk of sounding like a mob of spread-the-wealth-around, Marx-quoting softies, maybe - while we're all tightening our financial belts - we need to still find ways to aid those even less fortunate than ourselves.
Hope and change.
The spark of American ideals at times seems threatened by the gathering darkness of reality and the cold winds of apathy.
But there is the hope we can each blow upon the embers of personal responsibility to fan the flames of an American resurgence.
Change begins with each of us.

I had implants 3 years ago and I am unhappy. Correction or removal of Breast Implants/bottoming out/unevenness? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Implant Removal and Deflation
If you had very little tissue before surgery, then you will have little tissue after implant removal. This breast tissue will likely be loose. However, the tissue can be shaped to some extent or lifted as necessary. However, the volume will be gone.
Remove Breast Implants or Downsize?
I am sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction after breast surgery. As you know, based on previous discussion, only you will be able to determine whether there is a good chance you will be happy without breast implants or whether you should consider downsizing of the breast implants ( and possible capsulorrhaphy techniques to improve the shape of the breasts).
Consulting with board-certified plastic surgeons who have significant experience with revisionary breast surgery and helping patients through this thought process may be helpful to you.
Best wishes.

Chapter 1: Types of checking accounts
Chapter 2: ABCs of ATMs
Chapter 3: Fees, fees and more fees
Chapter 4: Protecting your account
Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, your liability is capped at $50 if you notify your bank within two business days of learning that your debit card is missing. Wait more than two days and you could be liable for $500. Both Visa and MasterCard have a "zero liability" if your card is used fraudulently. The catch is that guarantee is good only if the transaction is processed over their networks. If not, then the liability terms are set by the institution that issued your card, and those terms would be equal to, or better than, the terms established under the EFTA.
Watch out for fees with a debit card. Some banks charge debit card customers a monthly fee, others charge a fee on each debit transaction and some charge a fee if you use a PIN for a purchase instead of signing for it.
Another potential issue with debit cards is returns. You may have trouble getting a refund for merchandise that you decide to return, because many retailers treat a debit card purchase the same as a personal check or cash. You could end up with store credit instead of a refund.
When you make a purchase with a credit card you have the option of withholding payment if you're not satisfied with an item. That right is protected under the federal Fair Credit Billing Act, but this law doesn't apply to debit card purchases. The moral may be to use debit cards for small purchases and credit cards for big ticket items.
It's also a good idea to use credit instead of debit when buying online because, again, your rights during a dispute are considerably stronger with a credit card.
Keep in mind that it can be easy to overdraw your checking account when using a debit card. Write a check and you've got the register right there to enter the transaction. Use a debit card and you're relying on your memory to remember to deduct the purchase later. Devise a system of putting the receipt in a place where you know you'll be reminded to update your checking account register.
Be sure to read Bankrate.com's special report on debit cards "Goodbye credit, hello debit."

The FAA awarded Bombardier's 86-seat CRJ900 regional jet its U.S. type certificate on November 14, ostensibly paving the way for first delivery to Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group in April. Launch airline Mesa plans to fly the airplanes as America West Express under the auspices of Freedom Airlines, a new non-union subsidiary that launched CRJ700 services from Phoenix to Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif., on October 26. Still under siege by union leaders who claim the division violates sections of the Railway Labor Act, Freedom Airlines remains the CRJ900's only airline customer. Bombardier's launch order for 10 of the airplanes came from GE Capital Aviation Services during the 2000 Farnborough Air Show. In a reaction to competitive pressures, Bombardier has assigned more range to the CRJ900 with a so-called paperwork mod that increased its maximum reach to 1,914 nm. Dubbed the CRJ900LR, the new variant shows an mtow of 84,500 lb–4,000 lb more than the standard CRJ900 and 2,000 lb higher than the mid-range CRJ900ER.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – A few thoughts on the Green Bay Packers' 22-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
What it means: The Packers kept their playoff hopes alive and live to fight another day. They got back to .500 at 6-6-1. Their much-maligned defense pitched a shutout in the second half, and oft-criticized cornerback Jarrett Bush made two big fourth-quarter plays, including a game-clinching interception. The Packers won for the first time since quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone on Nov. 4 against the Chicago Bears.
Stock watch: The Packers have been looking for more production from their tight ends ever since Jermichael Finley sustained a season-ending neck injury in Week 7. They finally got it from Andrew Quarless, who had a career-high 66 yards receiving on six catches. He caught the go-ahead touchdown pass on a 2-yard back-shoulder fade with 12:01 left in the fourth quarter.
Wacky play: In perhaps one of the wackier plays of the season, quarterback Matt Flynn's dump-off pass for fullback John Kuhn in the second quarter was tipped and kicked before Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon returned it 71 yards for a touchdown. Defensive tackle Peria Jerry deflected the pass before it bounced off the right foot of linebacker Paul Worrilow and into Weatherspoon's hands. The play stunned the Lambeau Field crowd. The Packers did not appear to realize the ball was intercepted until well after Weatherspoon took off running. Guard T.J. Lang was the only one to have a chance to stop him, but Lang missed the tackle at the Packers' 21-yard line, and the touchdown gave the Falcons a 21-10 lead.
Lacy's production: Running back Eddie Lacy set two Packers rookie records on Sunday. His seventh rushing touchdown of the season broke Samkon Gado's rookie record set in 2005, and he surpassed John Brockington's mark of most carries by a rookie. Brockington had 216 in 1971. Lacy returned from a second-quarter ankle injury to rush for 65 yards on 20 carries.
What's next: The Packers play at the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Will Rodgers return? If not, the Packers appear likely to stick with Flynn.

| I believe that the ads for psychiatric drugs should tell the truth and note in bold all the awful side effects, that in some trials the placebos were as effective and admit that it has never been scientifically proven that "chemical inbalance" exists. The FDA's job is to protect us so please start making these drug companies honest especially because of the great harm these drugs can cause!

Good websites and books for a newbie?
I just bought my first shotgun, a Remington 870 with two barrels (a 20" one with rifle sights and a 28" one with vented rib and interchangeable chokes). I'm really excited about trying it out, but I've got to wait until the 19th or 20th for all the paperwork to come through. :mad:
I know very, very little about different loads and shooting techniques. Are there any good websites or books out there that you'd recommend to a beginner? I'm interested in both self defense and hunting.
I think you found the website :D and "Shotgunning: The Art and the Science" by Bob Brister.
