The 1911 shaped hole in my heart...
I had to part with my first and only RIA 1911 tactical about a year ago to pay of some credit card debt (in college $ seems to just spend itself :D). It had left a hole in my heart that only a 1911 could fill. I've got about $1,100 saved up now. I've been looking at the Springfield Armory 1911 loaded in stainless. Would you guys say $830 shipped+FFL tranfered is fair? Or should I get something else? I don't like the idea of spending all of the $1,100 on a gun I would like to save some for ammo and good magazines.
thanks guys
I sent you a PM with an address to a GA site that has lots of guns listed. You may find exactly what you're looking for locally...

I just sold two new black stainless loaded Springers for $869.00 each and they are real scarce right now. I think your about to make a very good deal.
Save a little more,,,,,, and get a TRP. You won't regret it.
my heart just went pitter patter....
I just bought the loaded bi tone......love it.
200 rounds this weekend and my first "take down" cleaning.
I would sleep with it if the bride would let me.
wow that trp looks nice...
you guys aren't helping!!!
now I want all of them...
ugh i'll let you guys know what i decide
If it makes you feel any better Junho, I have had a 1911 sized hole in my heart for the past two years and still haven't filled that void because of college. Graduate school expenses suck. :(
Anyway, as some others have suggested if I were you I would save just a little more and get a TRP instead of just a Loaded. If you are going to go with style, then go all the way. ;)

Bear Bites: Pandas volleyball and hockey advance to Canada West semis, curling cruises
It was a busy weekend for University of Alberta athletics, as plenty of Golden Bears and Pandas teams were in action, including a pair of playoff series on home turf.
Here's the first edition of 'Bear Bites' – your weekly roundup of all things Green and Gold.
Pandas volleyball
The Pandas didn't let an up and down second half of the regular season carry over into the playoffs.
After a 15-7 regular season record to finish third in Canada West, Alberta hosted the Manitoba Bisons in a best-of-three conference quarterfinal series and unlike the last weekend the two teams met in early February and split, this time it was all Pandas.
A pair of 3-0 wins Friday and Saturday nights from the hosts at the Saville Community Sports Centre mean the defending Canada West champions will continue their title defence.
Alberta travels to UBC next weekend for the conference final four, where they'll meet Trinity Western in one of two semis. The host T-Birds will take on Mount Royal in the other semi.
Pandas hockey
It was a tense weekend of action down at Clare Drake Arena for the Pandas hockey team, who needed three games to beat the Saskatchewan Huskies in their conference quarterfinal series.
After a 3-2 overtime win Friday and a 3-1 loss Saturday, the Pandas left little doubt in Game 3, with a 4-1 win over the Huskies, riding a pair of goals from Karla Bourke to the conference semis.
The Pandas will have their hands full next weekend when they travel to Calgary to take on the defending national champion Dinos and league-leading scorer Hayley Wickenheiser in the best-of-three conference semis.
Bears basketball
In search of first in the Prairie Division, the Bears basketball team continued to find out how hard life is without Jordan Baker.
Alberta dropped both games this past weekend in Saskatoon against the Saskatchewan Huskies, falling 82-66 Friday and 79-73 Saturday, as the Green and Gold's losing skid is now five.
Baker, who's now missed the last 10 games, didn't suit up for the Bears with a nagging back injury.
The pair of losses capped off the regular season for both teams, as the Bears finished the season 14-8.
While a shot at first in the division was up for grabs heading into the series against the Huskies, with both teams coming in with identical 14-6 records, the two losses mean the Bears are headed on the road next weekend to take on the UBC Thunderbirds in the conference quarters.
Pandas basketball
Unlike their male counterparts, the Pandas basketball team was on the right end of a sweep in Saskatoon over the weekend.
Alberta swept their series against the Huskies, with a 67-58 win Friday and 58-48 win the following night. The pair of victories pushed the Pandas into third in the Prairie Division.
Head coach Scott Edwards team, like the Bears, will head out to UBC this coming weekend in the conference quarters.
Bears and Pandas wrestling
After a whirlwind of a week for the world of wrestling, the Bears and Pandas wrestling teams made things memorable for an entirely different reason, capturing conference titles.
Both the Bears and Pandas earned Canada West championship banners Saturday at the Main Gym, as the two teams won simultaneous conference crowns for the first time in school history.
The men edged out Saskatchewan for top spot, while the women finished ahead of Calgary for top spot on the podium.
Pandas wrestlers took gold in five of the eight weight classes, while the Bears saw three golds in the 10 male classes.
Bears and Pandas curling
Brendan Bottcher's Bears curling rink had a perfect weekend at the CIS/Canadian Curling Association Western Canadian University Curling Championships at the Saville Community Sports Centre.
Bottcher's defending national championship rink went 6-0 over the weekend, downing Manitoba 5-3 to win the event.
For the Pandas and skip Kelsey Rocque, a 9-7 win in extra ends over Manitoba capped off their weekend in style, as the Fort Saskatchewan product avenged an 8-5 loss to the Bisons earlier in the day, to finish the tournament as champions with a 4-1 record.
Both teams are now headed off to nationals in Kamloops, which go next month at Thompson Rivers University beginning March 20th.

The Arena Pulse: No.21-Mackey Arena (Purdue)September 26, 2009
It's never easy to go on the road in college basketball. This is a top 25 breakdown of some of the toughest and most intimidating venues in college basketball.
Venue: Mackey Arena
School Name: Purdue
Location: West Lafayette, Indiana
Capacity: 14,123
The Big Ten Conference can offer some of the more exciting facilities in college basketball. The experience offered at Purdue's Mackey Arena speaks just to that.
Since its opening in 1967, Mackey Arena has been the home to Purdue's basketball program. Named after long time athletic director Guy "Red" Mackey, the arena offers a parabolic curve all around, giving the court that "closed-in" feeling.
Currently known as the Paint Crew for current head coach Matt Painter, the Boilermaker's student section covers many of the seats close to the court area, heckling visiting teams and giving Purdue that home court feel.
Although it may not look the part, Mackey Arena can hold over 14,000 screaming fans, and in the tightened environment that is offers, it can be a nightmare for visiting teams. Ask any Big Ten opponent who makes the annual trip to West Lafayette, and they will tell you just how loud Mackey Arena can get.
Mackey Arena has a secret to its rowdiness that not many venues can offer. Its domed-in aluminum roof gives the arena that extra boost when it comes to making noise. As the roof helps keep the sound closed in, Purdue fans are very willing to make Mackey Arena as loud as humanly possible.
This might be one of the louder years for Mackey Arena and the Purdue basketball program. They boast one of this nation's top teams, as they are sure to enter the season with a top ten ranking. With their core lineup returning from a season ago, the hype has begun to build for the Boilermakers this season. Trips to Mackey Arena by Wake Forest and West Virginia will have fans going early in the year during non-conference play, as well as Big Ten tests at home later in the year.
Matt Painter has done a great job at Purdue and the program has crept back into the national scene. However, they know this is a year filled with high expectations, and not only will the team be prepared, but Mackey Arena and its fans are excited for another season of basketball.

With Joe Bidens Speech, The Democrats Finally Man Up
Michael Tomasky: With Joe Bidens Speech, The Democrats Finally Man Up
by Michael Tomasky Apr 28, 2012 4:45 AM EDT
Democrats are finally sounding confident on foreign policythanks to Joe Bidens muscular speech.
Substantively, Biden refuted all the right-wing criticisms (except one, which Ill get to) of the administration on Iran, the Middle East, Russia, Poland, Libya. He took them on directly and pointedly and said: They are either lying or . . . well, there is no or; theyre lying. He gave evidenceof mutual security arrangements with Israel, for example, and the quiet strides that have been made in the Russian reset. The kinds of things that never make the papers or the shout-fests but that are real and meaningful. On each point, he quoted Mitt Romney, who said for example that getting bin Laden wasnt that important, and who (shocker here) has flip-flopped on other matters, like Afghanistan.
But what will drive the right really crazy is that Biden spent so much time describing the accomplishments as a function of Obamas willprobably a stretch in reality, but rhetorically powerful: Just a few months into office, sitting in the Oval Office . . . and he turns to Leon {Panetta, then the Director of Central Intelligence}, and he made it clear what his priority was. And on June 2, 2009, he ordered Leon Panetta, gave the following written order, and I quote, in order to ensure that we have expended every effort, I direct you to provide me within 30 days a detailed operational plan for locating and bringing to justice Osama bin Laden. It was the presidents highest priority for the CIA. Then, he made one of the most courageous decisions Ive seen a president make and I would argue in a long time. That, of course, was the raid itself. Biden again: And I might add parenthetically, does anybody doubt had the mission failed, it would have written the beginning of the end of the presidents term in office? This guy has got a backbone like a ramrod.
And then there was the now-famous line about Obamas big stick. My God. How did that survive the vetting at this often timid and antiseptic White House? Permitting the nation to imagine the presidents penisbecause lets face it, thats what that line came down to. And the racial undertonesagain, in a White House that works overtime to avoid anything that might remind the voting public that its occupants are African American. Amazing. I hope Bidens big stick comment doesnt establish the new benchmark for future tests of vice-presidential loyalty. But it certainly proves this ones.
Bidens more serious sound-bitethat the bumper sticker for this administration is Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is aliveis also about as good a campaign slogan Ive heard from any Democrat in a long time, too. It avoids that treacly, touchy-feely ground on which Democrats so love to walk. Its just simple and true. It may or may not be enough, and Obama will surely walk that familiar Democratic ground before this campaign is all over. But its refreshing to hear a slogan that doesnt resort to the usual emotional blackmail in which both sides, in their very different ways, engage.
The speech deserves better than to be remembered for its zingers, though. I think back over a long and wearying history: of conservatives losing Vietnam (by insisting that we fight it in the first place when the real experts knew it would be a quagmire) and then pinning the blame for the loss on the liberals; of liberals (or at least Democratic candidates for high office) all but accepting that blame; of ahistorical claims that Ronald Reagan won the Cold War, and won it by being the tough guy; and of course of the Dubya era, when Republicans disgustingly smeared a Democratic senator who left three limbs in Vietnam and most Democrats (bless you, Bobby Byrd!) responded by quavering in fear of similar attacks. Bill Clinton pushed back on the general narrative pretty well for a time, in his second term especially, for example in Kosovo. But then came 9/11 and the default pattern reestablished itself with a vengeance.
Well, thats all finally changing. It will be a great day indeed in this country when strident but infantile rhetoric, and the self-defeating and America-weakening policy positions that accompany them, are tossed in historys dustbin. The administrations successes (so far) may hasten the arrival of the day when Republicans can no longer invoke foreign policy when all else fails. And Joe Biden, it seems, is just the man to, uh, stick it to them.

4. Joe Biden is a model of a good Public Servant ... honorable, incisive, and liberal.
I cringe every time folks on the left kow-tow to the hypocrites and apologize for something that's totally trivial (a "Joe gaffe" and inconsequential, deserving of NO APOLOGY whatsoever. Yes, it is a BIG FUCKING DEAL, so shove it up your ass if you can't deal with it!!!
It's folks like Joe whose hard work and diligence lend whatever prestige there is to the institutions in which he's served, where others feed upon that prestige to elevate themselves and line their pockets. We need more Joe's ... people who comprehend what SERVICE really means.

5. This quote just about made me cry...
a long and wearying history: of conservatives losing Vietnam (by insisting that we fight it in the first place when the real experts knew it would be a quagmire) and then pinning the blame for the loss on the liberals; of liberals (or at least Democratic candidates for high office) all but accepting that blame
Makes me think of my ex, a Vietnam Vet. Crazy brave, but a perfect example of a real human being, with good intentions, poisoned by that lie. And permanently damaged by his experience. I am sad that the emotional devastation he's left with--and the lies he's made a part of his mind-set-- had a large part in killing the relationship.

7. I did not listen to the speech,
but in reading coverage I must say I did not go to a penis analogy with the big stick statement. I immediately thought of the T. Roosevelt quote and visualized a calm intelligent man holding a strong power in his words and deeds. My Man in the White House.
I have an innate feeling that the Republican Party as we know it may collapse upon its empty rhetoric and wealth. But if they succeed in disenfranchising even a small number of Democratic voters they will succeed in their campaign to create a theocratic corporatist government. All they have to do is prevent a percentage of people from voting, drive a percentage of people away with negativity in the process and lessen the turnout by 5 to 15 % in the general election. Terrible consequence for our always fragile democracy.
That scenario MUST be prevented.
They play a long game, we must not fall into our respective sleep or the worst could happen as it did in the 2010 midterm elections.

They definitely need to put Biden out there more. He really gets the message out there in language that everyone understands.

Ices Brown: Dancing Machine
If you aren't familiar with Ices Brown, well you need to get familiar. Her YouTube videos give me life. And by "give me life," I mean make me cackle. Y'all can't tell Ices that she ain't the best dancer ever in life. And yes, I'm a lil mad her mama couldn't spell "Isis" so…
Anyway, watch:
Confidence is awesome and I-C-E-S got a lot of it. Her #selfofsteam is off the charts. She can dance a little (read: well she's at least on beat) and her dutty whine is greater than yours. Just admit it. I love how she fulfills her fans' "requescesses" with such fervor too. You know she be in front of the TV watching 106 & Park ERRDAY. And taking notes. Her and her half purple quick weave are committed to the dancing craft
Oh and Ices just thought to do her own version of "Countdown" by Beyonce. She wanted to show the world how the big girls do it (I can hear a lot of y'all saying you not claiming that. It's aight). Getchu a piece:
*sigh* She be trying. She REALLY tries. And Ices just gon wear that schmedium top that won't stay up while she gets her twurk on? I mean, it ain't schmedium on most people but on HER it is. That's a size "blanket" but who gon tell her? I spent the whole time watching this praying to the YouTube gods that her top didn't fall. They heard my cry.
Sidenote: This isn't shade but dang she got a big face. Ices' face takes up the whole screen. And doesn't it look like her facial features are all squozed in the middle of her face? I mean they got extra room to spread. Why are they all tight?
I ain't e'em gon talk bout the vid of Ices juking in her purple underwear to Dru Hill.
Oh Ices…
One of my commenters @SincerelyAlana said: "with all of this dancing she's doing, shouldn't she have lost at least a pound or two? Just asking." See? I ain't wanna say nothing but umm… yeah I wondered the same thing. I'm a little concerned for Ices' health. But this is good exercise.
52 Comments
She kills me with the introduction, "HEY WHAT'S UP BOO BOO, WHAT'S UP? This is ya gurl Ices Brownnnn" *smacks lips* Her self-esteem is through the freaking roof. When she did the video to Run The World outside in her driveway, I was done. lol
*whispers* all of the features on her face are way too close together. It's like they're having a meeting in that one area on her face.
*whispers more quietly* with all of this dancing she's doing, shouldn't she have lost at least a pound or two? Just asking.
We just gonna let this young lady continue to cook? We're gonna allow her gchat to ping while she records "dance" videos? It's ok for her to just let her "cor'ography" blossom into the countdown video? We're gonna ignore how her hands were doing 2 when Bey was saying 8? And the "cor'ography" includes her pulling her extra smedium top up while she tries to pop it for a goon?
Oh. Ok.
This is why we can't have nice things. *flips table* *walks out room*
I peeped the "cor'orgraphy" and the lack of knowing how many fingers to hold up….. BWWWAAHHHAAAA! I'm sorry, but this is not the way to promote self-esteem, someone needs to shoot her down and quick. No Boo boo, dancing is NOT yo niche!
"Hey this your girl Ices Brown aka Ices Brown" SMH
I need for her to get some clothes that fit AND a bra would be great.
I wonder if people really enjoy her , or are they just making fun of her?
I am not going to trample on this queen's self esteem. She is out there doing her thing and I will give her a standing ovation!!!! Dance Gurl!!!!
So y'all gon' just ignore the ab roller in the background of that first video? ok then.
i have sooo many questions (including the ab roller) but I refuse to talk about anyone as i am 8 mos pregnant and my child is not gonna come out lookin like Gizmo….i simply can not!
*weeps gently*
In one of her other videos there is a bottle of Summer's Eve wash on the dresser behind her.
We.. . .
I give up.
*walks out with confused look on face*
I just dont know what to say.
in. her. drive. way? I must see that.
I got a couple questions..
1) Why Ices act shocked with every request she gonna do? My fans wan me to do Countdown by Beyonce?? OHHHHHHHHHH…
2) Why did that shoulder sweater turn into a piece of floss? I mean was that supposed to be an Extra Smarge on a normal sized person?
3) I love the big girls with confidence but are they manufacturing and bottling Ices' confidence as yet and selling that shit in SkyMall?
4) Why come Ices gone open her extra crispity crunchy black inner thighs and introduce us to em??
5) I was nervous for that top hanging on for dear life bruh..
Yer Most Awesomelynessis?
Is there an official term for females whose belly sticks out farther than their boobs do?
L "That Ain't Right!" B
No but real talk with all this dancing, how is she not losing weight?!
Bless her HEART!!!
She got all the confidence in the world, how she made it through the media madness that tells her she ain't the tea is remarkable.
Her father probably tells her everyday: "You're not fat, you're beautiful!"
Well…Ices-the ghetto plural for 'ice'- Brown has gump. And razzamatazz by the gallon, but I can't get behind it. That, my love, is not how 'Plus size does it'. 'Which size?' is my first question.
Not coming for nor shading anyone over weight at all, but baby girl…BABY GIRL! Please stop. You p-popping for pimp and he don't evemmuch have a dollar fa ya.
Jesus wept.
I was hoping that her parents actually meant to name her Isis, like the Ancient Egyptian goddess.
But you right.
I'm mad because I weigh about a Television set less than her and she still can pop it better than me.
-____- #ThatAintRight
Yer Welcome!
I held my breath while watching the "Countdown" video. If that top fell down, I'd need smelling salts to wake up.
The fat hate makes me sad.
I'm sure if she was thin the shade wouldn't be as dark.
i had a similar thought. but i am also struggling with the fact that we are all the keepers of our own public image in the age of youtube. meaning that while i don't condone fat shaming, it's hard NOT to indulge in "i KNOW you know better than to act a damn fool on the internet" shaming. distinguishing between body type (not cool to mock) and choices (open season!) means that ices is walking a fiiiiine ass line here.
If she was this the shade would still be dark, there just wouldnt be a lot of it. Her size is casting a pretty large shadow.
I agree with Adwoa 100%, and I say this as a certified fat woman with a website myself. She can't actually dance, and I have seen people give up the respect to women of any size who really show that they have skills. She just doesn't, in my opinion.
its not fat hate. shes clearly an unhealthy size. she can barely lift up her arms to dance and i use that term so damn loosely. its a disdain for not only her unhealthy behavior but that same behavior doesn't seem to be getting her to a healthy size either.
I inhaled sharply during "Countdown". I couldnt watch the video to the end cos that tube top was just victimising me.
But lawd I died during during her floor routine in "Ride"….*real tears*
icesessss – baby gurl – you know haters gone hate. just keep shakin whatcha mama gave ya!
and the rest of yawl best watcha moufs fo evangelist charlette sic kang jeezus on aaaaallll yawl for talmbout her offsprang.
mmmmm hmmmm.
get it icessessss!
::index fanga raised as i hustle out the side door::
Her mom didn't give her that, high fructose corn syrup did.
Where is her momma daddy auntie memaw cousin..somebody anybody cause i reqquuueesstted that this madness stop!
lmao at the whale trying to imitate a person…….OH that IS a person……well i never 0_0
I think her fans making requeses might be "chubby chasers" or whatever you call em.
ON THE FLOOR HOLLERINNNNN! Who told her she could do this? Who made these requesses? And Luvvie the big face commentary and "squoze" up facial features…iCANT!!! LMAO!
*o* *O* *0* *_* O_O O_o
Just showing you my range of facial features watching this stuff. my husband asked why my mouth was open. just – wow.
All Ya'll Hatin on ices Because she can get down ! Just because she big dnt mean uh Dammn thang so all Ya'll needa cutt duh shiid outt' Deuces…

Kevin Pietersen's awe-inspiring 142 and a productive final session in the field has seen England move within the grasp of an early victory over Sri Lanka in the second Test at Edgbaston.
Chasing down Sri Lanka's first innings score of 141, the hosts looked set to post a formidable total early on day two as Pietersen launched a full-scale assault on the wilting Sri Lankan bowling attack.
However, a sublime bowling spell by Muttiah Muralitharan, in which the world class spinner took six wickets to trigger a lower-order collapse of 5 for 5, managed to restrict England's lead to 154.
But despite Muralitharan's astounding efforts, it was another case of déjà vu as the visitors' top-order batsmen almost instantly set about crumbling.
Matthew Hoggard and Monty Panesar were the late-afternoon stars of the show for England with both nabbing two quick wickets each to leave the tourists reeling on 86-4 at stumps.

With all the respect due to this band, Sepultura is not the same band after Max left. I know, I can be monotonous and this point has been already touched by many but the differences from the first to the second period of the long history of this band are just incredible. Actually, even with Max in the line-up we could already notice changes in the sounds, if compared to the primordial violence of the early albums. Chaos AD and Roots were representative of this choice to change direction, filling the sound with tribal influences and lots of genres coming form outside, like hardcore, groove and even a bit of industrial (a thing that Max decided to use on bigger quantity on the Nailbomb project).
Max's influences on the band were undeniable, his image will always be related to Sepultura and now that even Igor has gone away from this band to join the brother, I think Sepultura should change the name.
I respect Paulo Jr. and Kisser (let's remember the innovations this lead guitarist brought after Morbid Visions) but now it's time to change. If till Dante XXI the fans could have been a bit in trouble in "choosing" the band to follow (Soulfly, Sepultura and now Cavalera Conspiracy), I think they now have the definitive occasion. However, let's remind that few of the old school fans are still there and I consider myself one of those. I've decide to constantly listen to the old efforts, the real ones by Sepultura. Since Against I've always tried a quite logical and mature approach to this new Sepultura "version" but any time I listened to something new, my disappointment was too big. Even this time I tried a mature, objective approach to this new album A-Lex but this mission has not been accomplished.
It's a pity because even the cover artwork was bounded to an older conception of it. The logo was like the one on Beneath the Remains and the "sculpture" in the centre reminds the ones on Chaos AD or Arise; unfortunately the music is quite distant in quality and aggression from the one on those albums. If Dante XXI was remarkable for its acceptable length, despite the quite lame music inside, the new album points on the length and on the number of the tracks. I've always sustained and I will always do that the perfect length for an album like this one should not surpass the forty minutes. Here, we have almost sixty minutes of music and you all know how it is difficult to maintain the same level of songwriting for the entire album. To this, let's add the music itself (grooving hardcore) and the scenario is complete.
"A-lex I" is an intro with gloomy sounds from beyond as the first riffs come in. The distortion is quite acceptable because quite raw and pounding. For the drums we can say the same thing and so far nothing wrong. "Moloko Mesto" has a truly brutal beginning with lots of up tempo and riffs. The production on these faster parts is quite messy and the sounds melt down in a confusing progression. The stops are full of tribal and weird passages. The vocals by Derrick Green are simply not adapt for Sepultura even if they are OK for the new direction. However, I can't stand them. "Filthy Rot" displays the very first evident groove elements, stop and go by the guitars and the artificial noises. The clean vocals parts are just terrible in their will to be ritual and tribal.
What is quite enjoyable here is the way they succeeded in creating a quite occult and dark atmosphere. "We've Lost You" follows more progressive and groove patterns with lots of weird passages like also "What I Do" that, by the way, is a bit more on speed. Fortunately all the tracks on this album are quite short. "A-lex II" is again groove on the second part before the heavier but always quite annoying "The Treatment". Some good up tempo parts and more classical riffs are to appreciate but forget the stop and go. "Metamorphosis" features arpeggios and always grooving structures with slow patterns and weird sounds. The same can be said for the following, longer "Sadist Values".
"Forceful Behaviour" has something stranger for the vocals and the riffs are always quite fast, detaching a bit from the drumming that is fast just on some sections. The return to the hyper annoying groove is called "Conform". "A-lex III" features again dark sounds before the mid-paced overtures and the almost rap vocals on "The Experiment". Some sections feature fast restarts but they last for few seconds and they are submerged by high doses of groove. "Strike" is always similar to the other songs with plenty of mid-paced section, groove riffs and distorted vocals. "Enough Said" contributes in raising the violence and the speed before the violins and the doomy, weird structure of "Ludwig Van" as tribute to the great composer.
"Alex IV" features calmer notes with a strange, distorted break by the middle before the faster "Paradox", featuring thrash riffs and up tempo sections. However, they don't forget the groove influences by the middle and we finish this album in this way. To pay homage to A Clockwork Orange, Sepultura put out another pointless release. This band should simply change name if they want to go on like this, but maybe it's not my business. My only recommendation is to let you know that here there's almost nothing of the old school brutality and don't be taken in by old school oriented cover artwork. I don't want to slander this band but this is enough, and acting like this they've already ruined the memories of a shining past.
However, for those who loved the more recent efforts, this one can be good for you but, old school fans, avoid A-lex.

Mario Batali co-owns restaurants in New York City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Singapore and Hong Kong, but the kitchen in which he feels most comfortable is his very own!
On a recent episode of ABC's The Chew, which Batali cohosts, the celebrity chef offered a peek inside his own space, which he calls his "most comfortable zone."
Proudly opening the door to his refrigerator -- which Batali says features the "fundamental 50/50 balance of wine and food" -- the chef also highlights his favorite kitchen gadgets (two ovens! an espresso machine!) in the above video clip.
"The way we live is the way this house is built, and that's around the kitchen," Batali, 51, explains. "The kitchen really is the castle itself. This is where we spend our happiest moments and where we find the joy of being a family."
Watch the video clip above for more from inside Batali's home and be sure to catch The Chew weekdays at 1 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Cincinnati, OH, United States, 2014/09/02 - Ampac, the worlds leader in creative packaging solutions, announces a new series of tamper-evident closures for its KeepSafe® tamper-evident product range - AmpacOnline.com.
Ampac and its KeepSafe brand of products remains the industry leading producer of tamper-evident packaging. As such, Ampac is announcing improved market alignment of its KeepSafe closures. Ampac introduces KeepSafe Ultra (formerly Gold), KeepSafe Premium (formerly Silver) and KeepSafe Secure (formerly Bronze) closures in response to a lack of polarization between high-level and mid-level closures in the marketplace.
Ampacs product and innovation teams have engineered a mid-level closure KeepSafe Premium that voids against heat, cold and solvent. KeepSafe Premium is a permanent adhesive closure intended for users with moderate-risk applications, such as direct to branch deposits, armored courier deposits, internal cash management, secure document transport and more. This game changing solution provides more security features than its predecessor, KeepSafe Silver, by reducing overall production costs and creating more value to customers.
In addition to providing an innovative solution for mid-level tamper-evident bags, Ampacs high-level closure KeepSafe Ultra has been redesigned to incorporate security features unique to the market, including die cuts that cause the closure to tear when mechanically peeled. KeepSafe Ultra is intended for customers with high-risk applications, such as cash-in-transit providers, financial institutions, and pharmaceutical distributors. KeepSafe Ultra will continue to void against heat, cold, solvents and moisture.
Sep Italiano, Ampacs Global Vice President of Sales states; The much improved security closure line is a true alignment to the needs of the market. Providing a solution in the mid-level range of risk with our KeepSafe Premium closure allows Ampac to provide additional tamper-evident features and added cost savings to our Retail customers. The new robust high-level KeepSafe Ultra tamper-evident closure allows customers with greater risk of loss to respond to more advanced methods of compromise seen in the market today.
Ampac (ampaconline.com) drives packaging transformation and performance by creating packages that are more innovative, progressive and dynamic than those used by competitive brands. Ampacs comprehensive approach to packaging is a balance of rigorous, technology-driven thinking and exceptional creativity. It is a diversified global packaging company with 14 manufacturing centers in North America, Europe and Asia.

"I see a relaxing area for Mum and Dad with terraces that stick out over the ravine..." Diarmuid
Budget: €50,000
Suppliers & Material: Details
Revisited: Rathfarnham
One year ago Diarmuid designed a garden for the Connollys in his own childhood neighbourhood of Rathfarnham - now a year later he is back to check out his design.....will he be happy with the gardens progress?
The Connolly Family
The Connolly family wanted a garden that Mum and Dad would enjoy coupled with a garden that would be an adventure ground for their three boys to enjoy.
They set the budget at €50,000.
Diarmuid's Challenge
This is an intriguing prospect... an idyllic location, indeed this is my childhood haunt and the challenge is to tame this site, to make it accessible and usable for all the family.
To create a woodland feel Diarmuid created a series of open pavilions which jut out at a 45 degree angle. Both pavilions are raised above the ground on stilts - the stilts are made from old ESB telegraph poles 20 metres above ground level.

BWW Reviews: DAMN YANKEES at BayWay - A Great Shot At A Classic
The BroadHollow Theatre Company certainly put forth a noble effort in their production of the Tony Award winning Damn Yankees. However, this Jessey Waller directed incarnation, now playing at BayWay in East Islip through May 6th, didn't quite hit the ball out of the park.
In George Abbott and Douglass Wallop's Damn Yankees, Joe Boyd (Manning Dandridge) is beyond upset that his beloved Washington Senators baseball team is, once again, on a losing streak. So he decides to sell his soul to the devil if the Senators win the pennant. Enter the devil, Mr. Applegate (Mike Cesarano). Soon Joe Boyd temporarily leaves his wife, Meg (Heddy Zirin), to become Joe Hardy (Brian Gill) the new, young slugger the Senators desperately need. In the deal with the devil, Hardy has until the night of the final game to walk away returning to his normal life.
While the large cast of 30 sounded fantastic, there was little emotional connection between the cast and audience. I wasn't brought into their world. It was as if the cast were going through the motions as rehearsed. They seemed to be concentrating too much on places than bringing these people to life. They didn't have me believing they "were" each their respective roles.
The music, by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, was great from up-beat to beautifully heart tugging. Among the favorites was "Six Months Out Of Every Year" which got a rousing round of applause. Also fun was "Shoeless Joe From Hannible, MO" which had a country line dancing feel performed by Gloria, portrayed by Kate Keating, and the men of the Senators baseball team, even incorporating a tap dance piece in the performance. One of the few emotional points was "A Man Doesn't Know" performed by Joe Hardy and Meg Boyd. You could sense the pain each was feeling; Meg overwrought with worry not knowing where her husband is and Hardy yearning to be back to his normal life.
The set was also effective, albeit minimal. A green, light up baseball diamond donned the back curtain and a set of bleachers were rolled out when they were at the game. Two old, comfy chairs and an antique side table were used for the home of Joe and Meg Boyd. And they rolled out lockers filled with baseball gear that they used for the Senators locker room scenes.
Was this the strongest showing of Damn Yankees? No. However, BroadHollow's production provides an opportunity to become familiar with a Tony winning classic in addition to supporting a community theatre company with a lot of "heart".
Damn Yankees is presented by the BroadHollow Theatre Company now playing through May 6th at BayWay in East Islip, NY. Book by George Abbot & Douglass Wallop, Music by Richard Adler & Jerry Ross, Directed and Choreographed by Jessy Waller, Musical Direction by Kristen Keller, Set Design by Sal Perrotta, Lighting Design by Meghan Santelli, Sound Design by Gary Haglich, Costume Design by Jason Allyn. For more information, please call 631-581-2700 or visit www.broadhollow.org. Opening also at their Elmont location on May 12th.

> I hope we can find a solution for xterm such that ls can remain fully
> ignorant with regard to the bidi properties of characters in filenames.
About ten years ago (in a galaxy far far away), I implemented an Arabic
terminal emulator under one of the old AT&T "blit" type multi-window
multiplexing terminals. We were using ASMO 449 encoding with a home-grown
implicit bidi algorithm. As I recall, no changes to any commands of Unix
System V were made to accommodate things; and it all just seemed to work.
The "ls" command didn't need to know.
There is a question, however, of global line direction in terminal emulation
-- whether your "ls -CF" listing starts on the right or left. It depends, I
think, on whether the main language is perceived as Arabic or not. Also
probably depends on particular contexts that are on-screen at any given time.

OROVILLE -- Decrying the rise of alcohol-related traffic fatalities among college students, a Butte County judge Thursday sentenced a teenage motorist who caused the death of his best friend to one year in jail.
She also warned she would be watching to see he carried out his promise to speak out on local campuses against drinking and driving.
Travis Gregory Reinsel, 19, was also placed on five-years probation for vehicular manslaughter and ordered to complete a residential alcohol treatment program.
Reinsel had a .16 percent blood-alcohol level when his 2004 Dodge Neon went off River Road south west of Chico about 7 p.m. last Aug. 3, and struck a large tree, killing a passenger, Doyle Bushong, 18.
According to deputy district attorney Mike Candela, both young men had traveled to Butte County from their homes in Susanville to attend their first week of college when the fatal crash occurred.
At Reinsel's sentencing Thursday, the prosecutor said the driver ignored a request by his friend to slow down just prior to the fatality.
At the outset of the hearing, Butte County Superior Court Judge Kristen Lucena indicated that given his lack of any prior criminal history and letters attesting to his character, she was inclined to sentence the teenage driver to six months in jail, but doubled the term after hearing an emotional statement from the victim's father.
Choking back tears, Cecil Bushong told the judge the loss of his son "hurts deeply."
Having worked for 34 years in law enforcement, the last 11 years as a parole officer, the victim's father said while a year in jail seemed "a light sentence," he did not believe that Reinsel belonged in prison.
"This young man needs to own up to his responsibility and to conduct his life accordingly," the victim's father said.
Reinsel's attorney, Adam B. Ryan, said the Susanville teenager was deeply remorseful and will have to live with the fact he caused his best friend's death.
Reinsel has voluntarily begun attending Alcoholic Anonymous classes and has vowed to speak out to other college students against drinking and driving, according to his lawyer.
The judge told Reinsel she would be monitoring his progress in that regard and "I expect results."
"Our courts have been flooded with college-age young men and women like this ... from good families, who drink to excess and make very poor decisions to drive."
"The consequences are often devastating," Lucena told Reinsel.
The judge has authorized Reinsel to be released to a residential treatment program after he serves a minimum of 120 days of the one-year jail term.
The Susanville teen must also perform 200 hours community service, reimburse the victim's family $15,897 for funeral expenses, and could be subject to additional amounts of restitution, the judge said.

Poutine makes its debut as pizza topping
TORONTO – First it was served on a heaping platter in local pubs and roadside chip wagons. Last month the savoury flavour was bottled. Now, you can find it piled on top of a pizza, for a limited time only.
Since the late '50s, many Canadians have enjoyed a conglomeration of French fries, cheese curds and gravy, in different variations – some add bacon, pulled pork and even shrimp.
On Tuesday, Pizza Hut Canada introduced its variation, adding steak into the mix, and serving it up on top of a pan-crusted pie.
"Canadians are adventurous eaters who seek out a variety of tastes," said Beverley D'Cruz, Pizza Hut Canada Marketing Director, in a press release. "The Canadian landscape is changing and these new recipes are our way of celebrating Canada's diversity and multicultural outlook in a modern, exciting way ― and tapping into Canadian favourites."
Pizza Hut Canada's poutine-topped pizza comes on the heels of another ode to poutine-loving Canadians. Jones Soda Co. released its poutine-flavoured pop exclusively in its Canadian markets last month.

I need som SEO help here, I am using joomla with custom coded added.
But when we trun on our SEO feature everything is good, but our links are not going to the correct path.
Here is an example of NON-SEO link
When we turn on SEO
The link is
But we need it to REad
We've tried
Redirect /community/$1/photos /component/community/$1/photosDOES NOT WORK
WE've also TriedRewriteRule ^component/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$1-$2/([0-9]+)\ http://site.com/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=$1&Itemid=$ [NC]
Still nothing works, it just remains to the default, SEO change that is not correct, please HELP
What you REALLY need is help with mod_rewrite. However, what you're attempting needs to be "mapped" and you've not made it easy (changing Itemid numbers et al). If you have a look at the tutorial linked in my signature, you'll understand why.
Comments on your code:
Target = http://site.com/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=userid&Itemid=100
URL = http://site.com/community/65-sexyapp/photos
How do you get com_community from community, where does profile come from, is 65 the userid and where does sexyapp/photos get redirected to?
No, actually, you need it to read com_community (components/community), you should hide userid- rather than identify the key for username and, again, where does photos tell Apache how to get Itemid=100?
You cannot put $1 or $2 in the regex of a RewriteRule and your \ is escaping a space which is not allowed (outside a character range definition. You DID get the position of the hyphen correct in your first character range definition, though, so you're ahead of many mod_rewrite newbies.
The redirection doesn't need to be external (http://site.com/) but the Itemid's value is missing. Further, the No Case flag is inappropriate for a RewriteRule (because the {REQUEST_URI} string is case sensitive ... and you've used [a-zA-Z] which is the correct way to deal with that).
WARNING: CMS's create their own mod_rewrite and use modules to reformat your links so the modules can read them and fetch the correct record(s) from your database. Messing around with mod_rewrite will change this and likely collapse your CMS website ... if you're not both knowledgeable and very careful.

BARNHART, Mo. – A collapse in milk prices has wiped away the profits of dairy farmers, driving many out of business while forcing others to slaughter their herds or dump milk on the ground in protest. But nine months after prices began tumbling on the farm, consumers aren't seeing the full benefits of the crash at the checkout counter.
The average price for a gallon of milk at grocery stores last month was down 19 percent from its peak of $3.83 in July. Farmers, on the other hand, got $1.04 a gallon in April – 35 percent less than they were paid last fall. This winter, wholesale prices were down as much as 45 percent.
Price disparities are a fact of life for farmers and anyone who shops at a supermarket, but the nature of milk – how it's stored, priced and sold around the world – makes the gap all the more dramatic. In fact, the price farmers get has been volatile for years, creating a succession of booms and busts felt from pastures to grocery stores.
With each turn, proposals are floated to end the pricing seesaw, which at one extreme squeezes the profits of farmers and at the other squeezes dairy processors. Any fix that boosts the price of milk runs the risk of bumping up how much consumers pay, too.
Today, frustrations are spilling over as the price crash creates widely divergent fortunes within the milk industry, boosting profits for the middlemen such as dairy processors while pushing farmers to the edge of bankruptcy.
Darrell Kraus, a dairyman in Barnhart, spends almost as much today on hay and other supplies for his herd of 160 cows as he did a year ago, but he's getting paid less for a gallon of milk than his father in the 1970s. He blames middlemen who buy the milk from the dairies, process it and sell it to grocery stores at higher prices.
"Somebody's getting a cut of this, but it's not the dairy farmer," Kraus said. "It's sad, but they're going to see a lot of dairy farms go out of business."
At a grocery store in Fayetteville, Ark., Katherine Thacker noticed how milk prices were slowly falling – but not as drastically as last year's price hikes. She was surprised to learn that the lower wholesale milk prices were being absorbed by dairy processors. "That's kind of criminal, isn't it?" she said.
Milk processors and supermarkets see it differently.
Last fall and summer, they swallowed losses because of high wholesale milk prices and government-mandated ceilings on what they can charge. They're recouping some of what they lost and anticipating a rise in prices this winter, said Mike Nosewicz, vice president of dairy operations at Cincinnati-based Kroger Co., which operates a dairy processing division and sells milk through 2,400 supermarkets.
"It's an inequity that cries out for attention, consideration and action," said Sen. Robert Casey, a Democrat from the dairy stronghold of Pennsylvania. Casey projects that 25 percent of his state's 7,400 dairy farms could disappear because of the crisis.

Progress seen on new fire
CHEYENNE -- Firefighters are hoping to take advantage of cooler weather in battling a wildfire burning in a remote and mountainous area of the Medicine Bow National Forest in east-central Wyoming.
The Russell's Camp fire is located about 30 miles south of Glenrock and has burned about 4 square miles since Sunday. There is no containment yet, but officials say they are making progress.
There are about 300 firefighters and six helicopters assigned to the fire.
Elsewhere, Guernsey State Park in southeast Wyoming, which was closed down by a 2,500-acre wildfire last week, is now completely open.
Casper OKs smoking ban
CASPER -- Casper has approved a ban on smoking in bars, restaurants, offices and other public spaces.
City councilors voted 6-2 in favor of the ordinance Tuesday night but decided not to put it into effect until Sept. 1. That will give opponents of the ban time to get the issue on November's ballot. If they do gather enough signatures to put the issue to voters, the council will decide whether to suspend the law until the vote or repeal it.
Bank robbery investigated
CODY -- Police in Cody are investigating one bank robbery and another attempted bank robbery.
One suspect may have been involved in both of Tuesday's incidents.
A man thought to be between 25 and 30 first tried to hold up the Sunlight Federal Credit Union. He handed the teller a note demanding money but then fled. No weapon was shown. About 1 1/2 hours later, a man of the same age and height, also wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, showed up at the First Bank of Wyoming and demanded money from a teller. Police say he obtained an undisclosed amount of money and then left. No weapon was used there either.

New York - Two people were killed and at least eight were wounded in a shooting outside the landmark Empire State Building in New York City on Friday, according to a New York police source.
One of the dead was the shooter, the source said, adding that there was no apparent link to terrorism.
"I heard the gunshots," said Dahlia Anister, 33, who works at an office near the 102-story Empire State Building. "It was like pop, pop, pop. It was definitely in a bunch."
The victims were shot shortly after 9 a.m. (1300 GMT) on the sidewalk on Fifth Avenue outside the building in Midtown Manhattan.
The shooting broke out at the height of the tourist season outside one of New York City's most popular attractions, startling tourists and commuters in one of the busiest areas of the city.
The building is two blocks from Pennsylvania Station, one of New York City's main transportation hubs.
The United States has had two other mass shooting cases this summer. On July 20, James Holmes, 24, allegedly opened fire at a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and wounding 58.
On August 5, a gunman killed six people and critically wounded three at a Sikh temple outside Milwaukee before police shot him dead in an attack authorities treated as an act of domestic terrorism.
The Empire State Building was the world's tallest building for 40 years from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center. Following the September 11, 2001, attacks, it was again the tallest building in the city. - Reuters

Obama Discourages Preconditions, Champions Change for Mideast Peace Prospects
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JEFFREY BROWN: President Obama called on young Israelis to see the world through Palestinian eyes and challenged Israeli and Palestinian leaders to abandon — quote — "formulas and habits that have blocked peace."
But even amid his visit, the old threats and realities of violence were present.
Margaret Warner reports from Jerusalem.
MARGARET WARNER: The second day of the president's trip to Israel and the West Bank was met with rocket fire from one place Mr. Obama won't go, Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Two landed in Sderot, Israel, a clear breach of the cease-fire the Islamist Hamas faction and Israel struck late last year. There were no injuries. A little-known militant group claimed responsibility, saying it wanted to show that Israel could not protect its airspace during Mr. Obama's visit.
The Israeli mayor of Sderot said there was another message from militants to President Obama.
Mayor David Buskila, Sderot: The message is, why you go to Ramallah? We are the owners of this region. You can arrive to Gaza and talk with us. Why do you go to talk with Abu Mazen in Ramallah?
MARGARET WARNER: Abu Mazen is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who greeted Mr. Obama in Ramallah on the West Bank at midday. A small band of protesters in the city center was kept well away. Just outside the city, there were minor clashes with Israeli troops.
The two leaders held talks on one priority of president's four-day visit to the Middle East, reinvigorating peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians. But contrary to the apparent and unusual chumminess with Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday, Mr. Obama and Abbas displayed an understated, businesslike tone in their brief press conference.
The president denounced the morning's rocket attack and the group that rules in Gaza.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hamas cares more about enforcing its own rigid dogmas than allowing Palestinians to live freely, and because too often it focuses on tearing Israel down rather than building Palestine up.
MARGARET WARNER: On the issue at hand, the president did say his administration was committed to give the moribund peace process another try, and he urged the Palestinians to do the same.
But Israel's continued expansion of Jewish settlements on the West Bank has been a stumbling block to reviving peace negotiations. The Palestinians have made halting Israeli construction a condition for restarting talks.
Mr. Obama initially joined that call in 2009, but hasn't since.
Today, Abbas seemed to reaffirm that insistence, though he didn't use the word condition.
PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS, Palestinian Authority: It is the duty of the Israeli government to at least halt the activity, so that we can speak of issues. And when we define our borders and their borders together, each side will know its territory in which it can do whatever it pleases. So the issue of settlements is clear.
MARGARET WARNER: But the president said, while settlement activity wasn't constructive for peace, setting preconditions for talks was counterproductive too.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: We do not consider continued settlement activity to be constructive, to be appropriate, to be something that can advance the cause of peace.
If the only way to even begin the conversations is that we get everything right at the outset, then we're never going to get to the broader issue, which is how you actually structure a state of Palestine that is sovereign, contiguous, and provide the Palestinian people dignity.
MARGARET WARNER: The president also met with young Palestinians, many of whom have lost faith in any resolution to the decades-old conflict.
Back in Jerusalem, before thousands of mostly young Israelis, the president gave the featured address of his Mideast tour. While reiterating America's unwavering support of Israel, he also called on them to identify with their young Palestinian counterparts.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: And put yourself in their shoes. Look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of their own.
It is not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands, or restricting a student's ability to move around the West Bank, or displace Palestinian families from their homes.
Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer.
Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land.
MARGARET WARNER: In a speech shot through with adrenaline from the president and the crowd, Mr. Obama echoed some of the themes that helped get him elected in 2008, that citizens can and should compel their leaders to act.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: And let me say this as a politician. I can promise you this. Political leaders will never take risks if the people do not push them to take some risks. You must create the change that you want to see.
MARGARET WARNER: The evening closed with a state dinner in Israel. Tomorrow, the president leaves for Jordan.

LONDON: Syria's most senior diplomat in London has defected, Britain's Foreign Office said on Monday.
Khaled al-Ayoubi, the charge d'affaires in London, told officials that he wasn't willing to represent President Bashar Assad's regime any longer.
Assad's government is engaged in a battle with rebel forces; rights activists estimate the conflict in the Arab state has killed more than 19,000 people since a popular uprising began in March 2011.
"Mr al-Ayoubi has told us that he is no longer willing to represent a regime that has committed such violent and oppressive acts against its own people," the Foreign Office said.
"We urge others around Bashar Al-Assad to follow Mr al-Ayoubi's example; to disassociate themselves from the crimes being committed against the Syrian people and to support a peaceful and free future for Syria."
Al-Ayoubi's departure represents the latest in a series of diplomatic and other defections from Assad's regime. Al-Ayoubi joined the Syrian diplomatic service in 2001. His first posting was in Greece as consul from 2003 to 2008.
Al-Ayoubi is the fourth high ranking envoy to defect.
A Foreign Office spokesman said al-Ayoubi was staying in a safe location in the United Kingdom and was in contact with British officials.
Britain withdrew its ambassador to Damascus earlier this year. Syria's ambassador, Sami Khiyami, also left London earlier this year.—AP

Back to Step 1 with Sun Run training
If you're a regular reader of our Sun Run blog and coverage, you'll have tracked my progress during training clinics before. My name is Bev Wake, I'm currently the city editor at The Vancouver Sun, and this is my third time through the program.
I completed the Learn to Run program as a non-runner in 2005, when I first moved to Vancouver from Ottawa. It turned me into a regular runner. The next time I did the clinic, in 2011, I did the Learn to Run Faster program, which involved interval training. It was, quite simply, awesome. This year I am back to the Learn to Run program, having not run at all since March 2, 2012. That was the day I herniated a disc in my lower back, during my first indoor fastpitch practice of the season. The injury was unbelievably painful and my back has taken a long time to heal. I am only now, more than 10 months later, able to resume running … albeit slowly.
When I've taken part in previous clinics, I've really wanted to push myself so I could meet my target times (successful the first time, off by 40 seconds the second time, having suffered a sprained calf muscle). This time, the challenge will be to take it slowly and to ensure my form is perfect, so I'll avoid re-injuring myself. To that end, I joined a clinic offered through Sitka Physiotherapy at the Hotel Vancouver downtown. It's being led by my kinesiologist, Clare Beary, who can help keep an eye on me and stop me from over-exerting myself.
Given how reluctant I was to enter the world of running in 2005, it's shocking that I am now so excited to be taking this tiny baby step back into the world now.

Can I reverse a lower blepharoplasty? arcus marginalis release with fat repositioning (Photo)
I have hollow under eyes and upper eyelids after an upper and lower bleph. I can manage the hollowness of the upper eyelids with fillers, but don't know if fillers will be enough for the lower eyelids. I feel like my actual eyeball has sunk back into the orbit from repositioning the fat. The surgeon also removed fat from the lateral parts of my eyes. I should have just had the tear troughs filled instead of repositioning fat and removing it. Will fillers be enough?
Doctor Answers 1
Of course this can be filled with fillers.
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
The questions is simply a matter of how much filler you need. Please do not let anyone fill this area with radiesse or Juvederm. It is important to find someone who is really good at filling the under eye area. From the photos, I do not think you are that bad and it is certainly worth your while to seek out this type of treatment.

Martin Olsson is being lined up as the £7million long-term successor to Ashley Cole at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have jumped to the head of the queue for the Blackburn defender, who will quit Ewood Park this summer.
Stoke City, Newcastle and Galatasaray are all primed to raid the relegated club for the 23-year-old ace.
But Roman Abramovich is primed to flex his financial muscle and snap up Olsson, who will face England as part of Sweden's Euro 2012 squad next month.
The Chelsea owner is determined to press ahead with his plans to phase out the old guard at Stamford Bridge and sees a replacement for Cole as a priority.
England ace Cole will be 33 before the end of next season and neither of his understudies, Patrick Van Aanholt and Ryan Bertrand, have convinced Chelsea they can take over.
Rovers owners Venky's are resigned to losing their star names and will reluctantly cash in on Olsson, who has 12 months of his £20,000-a-week contract to run.
Galatasaray have already drawn up a three-year deal and Stoke boss Tony Pulis has been given the all-clear to try to lure Olsson to the Britannia.
Olsson's agent Martin Dahlin said: "There is a lot of interest from top English and European clubs."

I don't know how it is at your church on Wednesday nights. At ours, beginning at 5 p.m., choir practices rotate with classes for children and youth.
I don�t know how it is at your church on Wednesday nights. At ours, beginning at 5 p.m., choir practices rotate with classes for children and youth.
Next, all ages come together for the evening meal. Then we again disperse to choirs, classes, and a Bible study.
The evening feels strongly of shared faith, family, and friendship. Most of the time, the schedule flows along reasonably well. But a few weeks ago, it didn�t.
The music part of the equation began, as usual, with a choir peopled with 2nd through 4th graders. Since they were to sing in the following Sunday�s service, this was an especially important rehearsal.
Only three of the regular singers showed up. Near the end of our time together, a mother arrived to explain that, in an after-school cross-country event, the very children who made up that choir had been scheduled last. Hence, the absences.
After dinner, a pre-school choir and a group of handbell players began practicing. Those rehearsals must not have gone perfectly either because, as the adult choir assembled, someone�s aside to me was, �Can anything else go wrong?�
Well, yes, it could. This night was special. Rather than having our usual rehearsal, our choir was to sing at a tent revival. Many among us had never even been to a tent revival, so mixed in with our appreciation of the invitation was some apprehension as to whether we�d do okay.
My own apprehension led the pack. We were to sing a version of �Marching to Zion� that was accompanied, not by keyboard, but with drum. Thanks to everyone with expertise turning us down, I�d been assigned the role of drummer.
Over 50 years had passed since my dismal career as a percussionist in Central�s high school band. Since then, there�d been a brief period of playing tympani in the local community band. But snare drum? Today�s drummers don�t even hold the sticks the way I was taught.
Be that as it may. Before heading to the revival, the choir and I mutually survived a final run-through of �Marching�� Then three gallant guys from the choir carried the drum, drum stand, and music stand for me. All I had to keep up with were my purse, the drumsticks, and the music.
Our hosts greeted us kindly, the state-of-the-art tent had plenty of room for us, and there was ample time to set up before the service began.
Remembering long ago outdoor concerts, in case the night was windy, I�d brought clothespins to secure the music to the stand. Not a breath of air was stirring, but I needed every possible advantage. So I pinned the music to the stand anyway, just in case.
At the appointed time in the service, the choir assembled and our director set the tempo. The anthem began with nothing but drum. I had those first few measures memorized, so I watched the director instead of looking at the music.
A few measures into the song, I did glance at my music. The notes looked different than ever before. �Something is wrong here,� I realized.
Still faking a drum part poorly, I looked farther down the page. At the very bottom, the title was looking up at me.
I had pinned the music to the stand upside down.
By then, though choir was singing a part where the drum should have been silent, I was still frantically drumming. I tried to fade away graciously, unpinned and righted the music, and searched it for my next entrance.
From that point on, the drum part more or less resembled what was on the now right-side-up page. But was permanent damage done to my chances of arriving at Zion?
That remains to be seen.

Preschoolers turned away, not enough room
Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:04:24 GMT —
Currently, 62% of the Governor's education budget is set-aside for early childhood programs.
Michiganâ??s insufficient number of preschool classrooms has students getting turned away at the door.
Mary Manner is the Great Start Collaborative Coordinator for Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau and Manistee Counties.
Manner tells 7&4 News, in this region alone, there are hundreds of parents trying to fit their children in a preschool classroom.
â??I know we have a waiting list in every county. I was talking with some people at TCAPS in the fall and they told me they have at least 80 kids on a waiting list...even after they opened additional preschool classrooms,â?? Manner said.
To try and fix the problem, Governor Snyderâ??s latest budget proposal set aside more than $40 million for the Great Start Readiness Program
That money can be used to open more preschool classrooms.
â??The idea isâ?¦we get as many kids as possible into the classrooms and give them the opportunity to develop the skills they are going to need when they start kindergarten,â?? said Manner.
While many applaud the Governor's plan, there is some skepticism.
The Michigan Association of School Board argues that early childhood programs should not be funded at the expense of Michiganâ??s older students.
Currently, 62% of the Governor's education budget is set-aside for early childhood programs.

Savage Model 10 PC Report
I finally got a chance to shoot my new Savage 10 Precision Carbine .308 Win this past Saturday. Here's the setup: Savage 10 Precision Carbine with 20" heavy barrel, Burris Mounts, Weaver 6 Lug Tactical High Mounts and a Leupold VX-III 3.5X10X50mm with a #4 reticle.
The loads were:
Hornady Match 165grn Moly HPBT's factory that my neighbor gave me
Hornady 165 grn SPBT's that I had with 45grns Varget (all following loads the same powder charge)
Nosler Ballistic Tip 165grn
Sierra Gameking HPBT 165grn.
I boresighted the rifle and sent one of the factory round down range to 100yds and it was 16" low. Hmmm, adjust the scope for the 1/4 MOA by 48 clicks and I was 24" high. Tapped the erectors and sent another down range, 18" high. More head scratching. Decided to fire on that setting for a group to see what was going on and if that first shot was an anomoly. Next round(s) were 14" high, 12" high 6" left, 14" high 8" right. Holy schitt, I thought, something is way off, this is match ammo supposedly. The neighbor that was with me said his gun did a similar thing and he had 5 misfires out of another box within the same lot.
Switched rounds to the Hornady SPBT's and fired for effect, a 2" five shot group all 2" low or so. Now I'm worried that either the scope has gone bad or I just bought a lemon and need to send it back to Savage.
The third round was the Noslers and it was 2" low but the group shrank to 1" or maybe a little less. Now we're getting somewhere I thought. That was a 4shot group. I saved one for later.
The fourth and final set was the Sierra GK 165's. The group was 4 shots 2" low and you could have covered it 95% with a dime. Now that's what I was looking for out of this gun.
I adjested the elevation and 1 click of windage and put the 5th round from both the Sierra and Nosler dead nuts into the center ring.
I don't know what was going on with the Hornady bullets and factory rounds but I won't be putting any more of their product down this barrel. Like my Savage 10 Predator Brush in .243, I have two interchangable rounds with the same POI with the Sierra being the top of the heap.
I've always read that the .308Win with Sierra bullets and Varget were the unbeatable combination but this was proof for me and this little rifle. And what a pleasure to shoot in a compact package. I foresee a few deer and pigs suffering a quick but violent end to this combination. I loaded up the 95 remaining bullets from the box and am anxious to locate some more bullets to stuff over the Varget charge.

Good for you. I've long been a fan of Sierra bullets, especially the 165 Gameking, although I haven't tried the hollow point variety. I use the soft point.
My buddies tell me that Varget is a great powder for the .308, and I don't doubt them nor you. I've always used RL15 in that caliber and never found a reason to change. I notice that Varget and RL15 are really close on Hodgdon's Burn Rate chart, so it might not matter. Y'all use the Varget and that will save more RL15 for me.
Still, good shooting. I'm hearing great things about the Hornday A-Max and may have to give them a spin.

My Savage 10 FP (without the accustock that your rifle has) hasn't had that problem with Hornady ammo, even the SuperFormance stuff.
It likes Federal and Nosler a lot.
it has averaged 0.69 inch groups with all handloads (a total of 422 measured groups) and averages 0.54 with its favorites.
Mine likes Sierra Match Kings in 150 grains and 168 grains but it shoots Nosler Ballistic Tips 168 grains well also. It shoots 175 grain Match Kings about 0.15 inches larger on average.
I started with Reloader 15 and got good results especially around 2630 - 2675 fps.
Then I tried Varget and it didn't do as well for some reason. Not terrible but about 0.2 inches larger groups on average.
I even tried Vitavouhri N150 and found that its best results were at 2730 fps. There were a few loads that had exceptionally small groups mixed with average groups so I decided that it wasn't repeatable in my rifle and abandoned N150.
Then I tried H4895 and found that I got the bests results with that. The best loads are all H4895 so you might find your rifle really likes that too.

I can't comment on loads for the .308 but I have also had very good results with Nosler and Sierra bullets. Gamekings shoot very well out my brother's Rem 700 in 270 and Ballistic Tips shoot amazingly well out of my Savage 110 in 30-06. It is a pre-accutriger model with 1:9 twist and 180's make a nice ragged hole. I have never bothered to take a precise measurement of the groups but they are about .25 at 100. It will keep 10 shots under a dime.

As I said, my nieghbor said that he had had some serious inconsistancy from the ammo he gave me. He thought that his rifle just didn't like it. I think it was a bad lot and combined with a green barrel to give the results it did. I found out what works in the Sierra and Noslers and will be more than happy loading them. Sierra's are relatively cheap to shoot.

When I handloaded (no longer) for a number of different calibers I always had the best luck with the Sierra and Nosler bullets. Hornady weren't bad but everything else I tried couldn't compare. By knowing which bullets to start with I usually could develop a nice load pretty quick.

To be honest, I've had some of my most inconsistant results from Barnes bullets. They hit like a hammer and destroy anthing in their path but they are some hard mofo's to get accuracy out of for me. Never run Bergers or Swifts and doubt I will at their costs.

I don't think you can't go wrong with Sierra Match Kings.
If you don't want to start reloading for it right away, try the Federal Gold and Black Hills with the SMK 168s. My 10 FP shot both well,
Of course, after turning the depth and velocity with hand loading, the 10 FP shot even better, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with the factory loads.
