A new set of four stamps depicting dragonflies was recently issued by the Viet Nam Post Corporation.
The four different species of dragonflies featured on the stamps are found on Phu Quoc Island in the southern province of Kien Giang.
Two were discovered during a Viet Nam Wildlife at Risk trip in 2007. Before the discovery, the species, lyriothemis mortoni and rhyothemis obsolescens, had never been seen in Viet Nam.
The stamps will support diversified biological research in Viet Nam, thus contributing to wildlife preservation.
HOI AN — Construction of a cultural park that honours the traditional job of clay formation has kicked off in Hoi An, in the central province of Quang Nam.
HCM City-based Nha Viet Corp invested in the 6,500sq.m park which features a clay museum, an open-air exhibition, a venue for clay making demonstrations, and a creative camp.
Located within the Thanh Ha clay village, the park will preserve the value of the local handicraft products as well as make an interesting tourism spot.
The VND18 billion (US$900,000) construction is expected to be completed within the next two years.
HA NOI — The TOSY spinning top has been certificated by Guinness World Records as the longest running mechanical spinning top with a duration of 24hr 35min 15sec.
The toy was created and produced by Vietnamese firm TOSY Robotics JSC. It was presented in Nuremberg, Germany, in February at the International Toy Fair.
An illuminated version of the toy with a running duration of four hours, suitable for most children, will be released worldwide in August.
A magnet stick can be used to control the top. — VNS

Kendrick Lamar "good kid m.A.A.d. city" First Week Album Sales
Kendrick Lamar's debut album good kid m.A.A.d. city has been the talk of the town for the past few weeks and now the final sales numbers are in. Kendrick's LP landed at the #2 spot on the charts with 242,122 copies sold in its first week. Unfortunately it couldn't top the charts because there was no way it would outsell Taylor Swift's incredible album Red, which sold a whopping 1.2 million copies in the first week. Regardless, Congratulations to Kendrick Lamar and TDE.
Update: Final number is 241,000 via Billboard

Picture: Annie Lennox and Guster onstage at the mtvU Woodies Awards at Roseland Ballroom. New York, USA - 08.11.07
Ex-EURYTHMICS star Annie Lennox finally feels like a real singer - because she's suffered enough.
The Why? hitmaker is releasing her eagerly awaited comeback album BARE - said to be inspired by the break-up of her marriage to URI FRUCHTMAN - and Lennox's personal agony has finally cured her insecurity about being a "fake".
She explains, "For years I felt I was a fake. The negative side of my self-perception said I wasn't quite the real deal. I knew true artists had to suffer, and felt that I hadn't suffered enough.
"I believe I had to live in some dark shadow, or carry some heavy cross in order to merit that certificate of authenticity. Well, let me you, I merit it now. I merit it now. It's mine, I earned it! I'm there!"26/05/2003 13:11


text: Hello Disboard Officianados ! The time has come to start a thread for my DDs Make a Wish Trip . It has been very inspiring, informative and fun to read Wish Trip Reports here.

My DW Lin , who even my female coworkers acknowledge is a HOTTIE, is also a redheaded Irish-Cherokee . LIfe with her is lots of fun and certainly interesting . Long before we met, she lost a little daughter to Neuroblastoma before she reached 2-years of age. "N-blast" is a cancer that often strikes children before or soon after birth. Before our family came along, it was commonly thought that it was not a genetically connected disease. My wife's maternal line showed otherwise. My DW lost an uncle, two cousins, a sister and her daughter Becki to this disease. There are many other family stories from "the old days" of family members dying as children from cancer or "abdominal troubles." My DW also had three healthy children before we met, and I had four nearly grown children of my own (they are all grown and gone now). To make a long story short, we met, fell deeply in love and married. We have one child together, Elysia, the Princess. Her name is from the Greek word for paradise. We knew something was wrong when a fetal-age ultrasound showed an abnormality. We prayed that it was not N-blast. Immediately after birth, our beautiful DD went in for a CT scan. At 6 weeks she began her surgeries. I will never forget the eye contact she made with me when the surgical team took her away. All I could say was my nickname for her "Sugar Baby," as tears welled up in my eyes. Surgery lasted hours. One adrenal gland was removed as cancerous and a 'c' shaped tumor was removed from around her spinal cord. Unfortunately, the adrenal tumor had adhered to her renal artery. Several hours later another surgery was performed to remove her kidney. Months of chemo followed. Somehow, our, now bald, little baby bounced back. Things looked great for months. 6 months later the other adrenal gland showed up as cancerous. It was removed and more chemotherapy followed. Miraculously, she has been cancer free for over three years now as confirmed by twice-yearly diagnostics (2-days each go and lots of difficult tests). We thank God for this answer to prayer. Dr. Judy Felgenauer of the Spokane Sacred Heart Children's Hospital Pediatric Oncology clinic is to be thanked for her expert guidance and wise consultation with colleagues . Dr. Diane McCarthy, the surgeon achieved the amazing feat of removing EVERY cancer cell during the last surgery . Bill and Lin

JohnI've been printing on nothing but canvas for about 14 months now. I print on Epson canvas and protect it with PremierArt print shield with excellent results. I apply several coats prior to stretching. My workflow is normally allowing the print to sit for 24 hrs after printing then spray and wait a couple hours prior to stretching. don[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=170634\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
John,I use Eco Shield (Satin) on Fredrix 901WR matte canvas and Brilliance Chromata White canvas. I coat before I stretch. I spray on the coating using a "Wagner Control Spray" gun. This gun works perfectly, very simple setup... odorless, wide spray, very little over-spray, covers large canvases quickly... I do wear a mask. I strain the Eco Shield first. I have a separate garage building/workshop where I do all my spraying. In low humidity it dries quickly,... I usually spray 3 to 4 light coats.I'll coat the canvas a day after printing. I can stretch a few hours after the last coat dries, but the coating will take a few days to completely harden, so you'll need to handle the canvas a bit carefully when stretching.BestAndrew[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=170654\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Don, you obviously haven't had any problems with cracking using the spray? PremierArt's website indicates that the spray is NOT crack resistant. Is there any particular reason why you spray before stretching? I was contemplating printing, drying, stretching then spraying...Thanks Andrew. I was looking at the Wagner gun as a solution even before you posted! If you can, can you explain how and why you strain the ECO before spraying?Thanks very much to both of you for the input. As soon as my canvas rolls arrive, I plan on trying both of these methods on small pieces.John[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=171224\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Thanks Andrew. I was looking at the Wagner gun as a solution even before you posted! If you can, can you explain how and why you strain the ECO before spraying?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=171224\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Another option, use Clearstar or glamour II. Both are water based and will allow for easy clean up. If you are making large canvas prints, don't even consider rolling as you will pull ink off the canvas. Paul C[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=171308\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Ken makes a good point. and I should have been more specific. I tried to roll on Clearstar, not Glamour II. This was on a 27 x 37 canvas and it ruined the canvas. I was using Lexjet Sunset Gloss. The inkset was K3 9880. I had let the canvas dry for around 36 hours. I didn't try to mix the clearstar with Distilled water just tried to roll it on straight. As soon as the roller hit, (foam roller), and I started up the print, you could see ink coming off and onto the roller. It pulled enough ink off the print that I couldn't use it. However by using a HVLP sprayer, it goes on perfect, dries in about 30 minutes. I put on about 3 coats. Paul Caldwell[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=171762\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Wagner, has no model number on the outside of the box which is interesting. They call it a HVLP Control Spray, Lock and Go. On the actual sprayer, the model number is $0417201. Paul C[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=171555\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I am curious on the rationale behind spraying before stretching. I have sprayed after stretching for many pieces now, and it seems to work fine. Mark[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=172280\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

National Organization for Women president shocks radio host with response to abortion question
Posted August 22, 2016
A Seattle-based radio host recently asked the head of the National Organization for Women a series of controversial questions about women's health and abortion.
Among the many points of discussion, there was one response in particular from NOW head Terry O'Neill that seemed to shock KIRO radio host Jason Rantz — so much so that he called her perspective "extreme," and sought clarification.
The key moment came when Rantz asked O'Neill a hypothetical question: whether she would still support abortion rights if science determined that life definitively begins at the moment of conception.
"I kind of wish we lived in a world where we knew where life began," Rantz said before leading into his question, with O'Neill responding, "I don't care."
The host then proceeded to ask whether O'Neill would still support abortion rights even if science concluded that life begins at conception.
"Of course I would," she said.
O'Neill went on to say that she understands and is in favor of the "concept of potential life" before birth, but that she is "not in favor of ... women dying because adequate reproductive healthcare is withheld from them on religious grounds."
But Rantz wasn't willing to give the issue up, digging a bit deeper and telling O'Neill that he believed her perspective seemed "very extreme."
"Take religion out of it, and we have shown through science that life begins the moment that a fetus is created, is developed," he said. "This is not the potential for life — that is life. You are saying that you do support abortion. Wouldn't that be the textbook definition of murder in that case?"
O'Neill, who dodged directly answering that question, said that the public wouldn't even be having the conversation about women's reproductive health if religion were taken out of the equation.
She added that she believes "women's lives are precious" and that it is shameful to not support "access to basic reproductive healthcare."
Earlier on in the interview she said that the 2016 Republican Party Platform is "viciously anti-women" — a critique that has emerged following both major parties' political conventions. Interestingly, some conservative groups have dubbed the GOP document "the most pro-life platform ever."
The debate over when life begins has long been the centerpiece in the decades-old stalemate between pro-life and pro-choice Americans.
This is the exact issue that Wired tackled in a 2015 article titled "Why science can't say when a baby's life begins." According to that piece, "The ultimate question is, when does a fetus become a person — at fertilization, at birth or somewhere in between?"
There's still no clear consensus among scientists, with the public remaining divided on the matter.
In the 19th century, the article claims that it wasn't until the mother could feel her baby kick — something called the "quickening" — that it was considered a life.
But with the rise and development of technologies that show doctors, mothers and fathers what's going on inside of the womb, it has become clearer that life appears to be in action much earlier.
It's a battle that is surely nowhere near over, as some argue that life most definitely doesn't begin at conception, while others on the pro-life side claim that science has already settled the matter and that it indeed does.
Even if the life issue was settled, though, it surely wouldn't stop the abortion debate from forging on.
As previously reported, some researchers recently called for the inclusion of abortion as an official cause of death in U.S. vital statistics.
In a recently published article in the Open Journal of Preventive Medicine titled "Induced abortion, mortality, and the conduct of science," researchers James Studnicki, Sharon J. MacKinnon and John W. Fisher made the case for treating abortion as a recognized form of human death.
"There is no credible scientific opposition to the fact that a genetically distinct human life begins at conception and that an induced abortion is a death," the study's abstract reads. "Yet abortion is not reported as a cause of death in the U.S. vital statistics system."
The researchers argue that mortality patterns impact public policy and that there are "large racial and ethnic disparities" when it comes to abortion. Read more about that here.

5 ways to let go of haunting words from your past
Posted April 28, 2016
Struggling to forget "those things which are behind" is perhaps one of the most tragic things that unites the human race.
But as philosophers, scientists and religious leaders have taught, healing and beauty comes from moving on and focusing on more hope-filled futures.
Perhaps that's why Elsa's song brought tears to children and adults alike when they first heard her sing "Let. It. Go."
Letting go of the haunting words spoken to you by important people in your past is particularly challenging. Sometimes that person in your past may even be you. Negative self-talk is just as harmful as negative words spoken to you by another person. If you allow them to, these words will eat away at the very core of what makes you, you.
I myself have allowed words to haunt me and get in the way of me blooming toward my possibilities; words like —
- "You're such a goody-two-shoes. That's why I broke up with you." (My 11-year-old crush)
- "He's with her, and not you, because he doesn't think you're smart/deep/interesting enough." (My 14-year-old self)
- "I can't believe you like this song. There is no meaning behind it." (My 15-year-old boyfriend)
- "Eating disorders are horrible. They make it so women can't have children. I could never be with someone like that." (My 16-year-old boyfriend)
- "If you quit, you'll always regret it." (My would-have-been varsity basketball coach)
- "My mom found out you take antidepressants. She doesn't think we should get engaged." (My 20-year-old boyfriend)
- "So many soccer moms think they can just pick up an expensive camera and be a photographer. They don't get art." (My photography teacher in college)
Here are five ways I am letting go of the haunting words of my past. Join me on my journey.
1. Love yourself first
This one is crucial because if we truly love ourselves, what other people think of us won't affect our self-worth. There will be no need for words to follow us around like ghosts because we'll already know who we are and know that we're enough.
This is hard to do because humans are such social creatures and what others say so easily affects us. But with practice, letting go and loving ourselves is possible.
Simple things like telling yourself what you love about yourself, forgiving yourself of past mistakes, quitting the shaming process for mistakes you'll yet make, being grateful for who you are today, giving yourself a break and loving others can slowly begin to change negative neural pathways.
2. Try something new
If you haven't already, watch Matt Cutts' less-than-four-minutes TED Talk. In it he talks about the benefits of trying something new for 30 days. "You can do anything," he remarks, "for 30 days."
What is something you've always wanted to try that the haunting words from your past have held you back from doing? Do that one thing. Try it for only 30 days. This will instill confidence and belief in yourself.
Trying new things opens up your mind to the awareness and appreciation of newness, the hope the present and future bring and your ability to carve out the life you've always dreamed of.
3. Practice mindfulness
Psychology Today states, "Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to experience."
What better way to let go of a haunting past than to live fully and completely aware in the present?
One of the best ways I've found success in doing this is to cultivate gratitude in moments of fear, anxiety, nostalgia or regret. When you take a moment — in almost a state of Zen — to feel gratitude, fear and other negative vibes dispel.
Practicing yoga, meditation and anything that gets your parasympathetic nervous system working helps you live a mindful life.
4. Get outside
There's a connectedness in nature you can't find anywhere else.
I have found that simply getting outside of the apartment to walk the dog, looking up at the sapphire sky and feeling the sun tickle the hairs on my arms is enough to get me thinking outside of myself.
When we let our pasts follow us around, we are doing one thing extremely well: focusing on ourselves. By getting outside and seeing the world around us, we broaden our perspectives and strengthen feelings of thankfulness.
5. Focus on present relationships and gleaming futures
Lastly, we must do as St. Paul urges us to do — we must reach "forth unto those things which are before."
As tempting as it is to bathe ourselves with twinkling memories of the past, the more healthy thing to do is look toward glimmering cascades ahead. Focus on the beautiful people you have in your life now and the wonderful adventures that await you in your future. It doesn't matter what happened in the past, because look at what you have in front of you now.

When seven members of Mountain View Community Church are commissioned as Stephen ministers on Jan. 8, they will join five other Mountain View members trained to provide one-on-one confidential, Christian care and support to people facing illness, sadness, change, loss or difficulties such as fear, pain or loneliness.
"The most significant thing we learn as Stephen ministers is the power of caring and listening," said Judith Guest, leader of Mountain View's Stephen Ministry and 50-hour training program. "Our role is not to solve problems for people, but rather to help them — through prayer, trust and support — to find strength and courage."
Stephen ministers are lay caregivers who help pastors and congregations provide personal caring ministry for as long as people need it.
"The simple act of listening can be very empowering." said Beverly Clauser, another Mountain View Stephen leader. "When people speak their concerns, they no longer shoulder that burden alone."
The St. Louis-based Stephen Ministries organization provides the curriculum and training for the ministry, which is in more than 11,000 congregations in all 50 states, Canada and 25 other countries, with 159 denominations represented.
Active Stephen ministers participate in twice-monthly supervision and continuing education sessions.
Stephen ministers are typically assigned one care receiver at a time and meet with that person for about one hour each week, for as long as the need exists. Relationships can last from six weeks to more than a year. The formal relationship ends when the care receiver recognizes he or she has reached a point of strength, confidence, independence and autonomy.
Stephen ministers serve Ramona, Julian, Poway and surrounding communities.
People in need may contact Guest at 760-789-7927 or the church office, 1191 Meadowlark Way. More information is also at www.mvccramona.org.

I originally started looking into this as part of my Nexus 7 car project. Rebooting just to get USB audio working conflicted with my goal of being able to "dock and forget". It took a bit of experimenting and debugging but it's finally working
This program should enable USB audio support on your Nexus 7 - that means you are able to plug and unplug a USB sound card without having to reboot in order for it to work. Other devices should also work but I have not been able to fully test.
It works by downloading your devices services.jar which is then extracted and de-odexed if required. The necessary classes are then patched and a new services.jar is packaged up, re-odexed, re-signed and finally re-uploaded to your device. The previous method replaced the entire services.jar which turned out to be a really bad idea!
As always please let me know of any issues you stumble upon. The patching software was written quickly so there will most likely be bugs!
- Obtain a full backup of your device. This patch is experimental.
- Ensure your device is ADB enabled, rooted and has busybox installed.
- Make sure your PC has Java and .NET 4 installed.

While colder temperatures mean livestock producers need to be aware of increased livestock energy requirements, fallout from the summer drought might also play a role this winter, an Ohio State University Extension educator says.
Cold temperatures, cold rains and muddy conditions can significantly increase the energy required by livestock metabolism to provide enough heat for animals to maintain body temperature. But animals that have less body condition and fat as a result of grazing on drought-stressed pastures might need to have that additional supplement sooner to be able to produce the energy needed to weather the cold period, said Rory Lewandowski, OSU Extension agriculture and natural resources educator.
Animals in good body condition can call on fat reserves, but if they are in colder temperatures for longer periods, they need the increased energy content in rations to help them alleviate cold stress, Lewandowski said.
"Every year, going into the winter means that producers have to take into account weather conditions," he said. "But in a drought year like this, we have to look at what kind of body conditions livestock has coming into the weather.
"If the herd is pasture-based, those animals may be coming in to winter in thinner body condition because our earlier drought conditions caused pastures to dry up and didn't offer as much forage for livestock. Producers have to evaluate their herds' body conditions and whether those animals can go through adverse weather."
Animals have a thermoneutral zone - a temperature range in which the animal is most comfortable, not under any temperature stress and that is considered optimum for body maintenance, health and animal performance. But when livestock experience cold stress below the lower boundary of that zone, they reach lower critical temperature (LCT) and the animal's metabolism must increase in order for it to keep warm, Lewandowski said.
"That means the animal must increase its energy intake to maintain body temperature and basic body maintenance functions," he said. "Generally, energy intake must increase by 1 percent for each degree of cold below the LCT."
Animals fed average- to good-quality hay are more likely to be able to increase intake enough to meet the additional energy demands than those fed low-quality forage, Lewandowski said.
"If poor-quality forage is the only forage option or if there is an extended period of extreme cold weather, then some additional energy supplementation is necessary for the animals," he said.
Producers should keep in mind that LCT is influenced by an animal's size, age, breed, nutrition, housing conditions and hair coat or wool thickness. The thicker the hair coat or wool, the more the LCT decreases.
"But with a wet hair coat, regardless of how heavy it is, the lower critical temperature increases to 59 degrees, as hair coats lose their insulation ability when wet," Lewandowski said, referring to cattle, horses and goats. Sheep wool is able to shed water.
The LCT for beef cattle is 59 degrees during summer or when wet, 45 degrees in the fall, 32 degrees in winter and 18 degrees in heavy winter. For goats, LCT is generally considered 32 degrees and for sheep, 50 degrees.
"For most livestock, it really is a matter of adapting to the weather," Lewandowski said. "Cattle will adapt to cold with a thicker coat if they have the feed source. And ensuring livestock are blocked from the direct force of the wind will help protect them from wind chill."
Breeding livestock that are subjected to prolonged periods below their LCT can develop reproductive issues, while other livestock classes will have reduced gains or even weight loss, he said.

SJ4066NW NORTHGATE STREET AND ROW 595-1/1/294 (West side) 28/07/55 No.57 Street (The Pied Bull Hotel) (Formerly Listed as: NORTHGATE STREET No.57 The Pied Bull Hotel)
Inn, probably on the site of 2 medieval tenements. C17 partly refronted later C17 and extended to rear C19. Brown brick with some sandstone and timber framing; grey slate roofs with 2 parallel ridges running back from the street. EXTERIOR: cellars and 3 storeys. Arcade over Northgate Street pavement has 3 segmental arches of stone with 2 storeys of Flemish bond brickwork above. The rebuilt timber-framed rear face to arcade has a broad C17 door of 4 oak boards with a planted round-arched panel-frame, on wrought-iron strap hinges; a replaced slightly bayed small-pane window to each side of door; flush sandstone quoins at north corner to King Street. The upper storeys have flush quoins, 2 recessed sashes of 12 panes to the second storey and 2 of 9 panes to the third storey; painted stone sills and wedge lintels; parapet with plain stone coping. The north side, to King Street, of irregular bond brickwork, has a 3-course band on shaped corbels of brick at each upper floor level; the lower band is doubled above the former piers between arches of window and door openings, now blocked or reduced; the first storey has 3 old window arches and 2 door openings, one broad and the other narrow; there are now 2 recessed 12-pane sashes with boxes exposed, 2 smaller inserted small-pane windows and a 3-panel door with leaded glazing in the upper panel in a plain doorcase with blocked overlight and a small moulded hood on brackets. The second storey has two 12-pane flush sashes and a flush 9-pane sash under relieving arches, and four inserted casements. The third storey has a 3-light casement with old leaded glazing in 2 upper panes, and 4 inserted casements; a flush lateral chimney. The rear extension is of 3 builds: the first storey has the blocked arch to a former carriage entrance, the second storey a replaced cross window and the third storey a casement of two 4-pane lights; there are no visible features of special interest further back. INTERIOR: the full cellars have outer walls of coursed sandstone with some later brick patching; sub-division of the
interior is largely modern, but walls and openings incorporate chamfered oak beams, one cambered and with its lower face cut into to increase headroom, and oak posts with some chamfers and one with a jowelled head. Much of the first storey is altered and features are masked. The front room, north, has a C17 stone fireplace with moulded reveals, slots perhaps to hold former spit arms, a brick flue and an armorial painting on the overmantel; the front part of the room has small panelling of oak, altered, in which are 2 cupboards by the fireplace, on butterfly hinges. The C17 oak stair is open-well to the second storey and was so to the third storey, but altered to a dogleg; it has carved faces to the closed strings, shaped newels and pierced vase splat balusters; the steps are carpeted. In the second storey the principal front room, north, has 4 rows of narrow oak panels surmounted by a broad row, parts altered. The open fireplace with sandstone and brick flue has a painted stone chimney-piece with moulded reveals, a depressed arch and 2 superimposed cornices, the lower one on consoles and the upper on bulgy rectangular corbels; moulded ceiling cornice of oak; 2 tongued stop-chamfered beams, three plaster roses; a foliage-and acorn motif at each corner of the plaster ceiling. The front room, south, has a south-east corner flue, with replaced fireplace, a plastered chamfered ceiling beam and a plaster fleur-de-lys at each corner of the ceiling panels. Each front room has an oak door of 6 panels. There is some original oak panelling in the landing and rear passage and, on the division line between the 2 former tenements, oak framing with full-height panels, perhaps C16. The third storey has a little large framing, now concealed, in the south bay, some visible beams and posts, exposed oak joists and a corner flue in the south front room. HISTORICAL NOTE: the Pied Bull is almost certainly the inn where George Borrow admired the strapping chambermaid, commented on the ale and spat the proffered Cheshire Cheese into the street. (Borrow George: Wild Wales: 1862-).

" Your worldwide source for footwear and apparel. "
Footlocker is one of those shops that no one really thinks to go to first, but I think excels in certain areas. I love the shoes they sell in this shop, with a lot of the mens and womens shoes being unisex, and coming in good sizes. I especially like this because it means that theres a wider choice for me, as I like the mens shoes as much as the womens a lot of the time! I find that some of the shoes that they do are also exclusive to them, or at least are a lot harder to find, this benefits them as they aren't always the cheapest option but the quality is good. The bags are also great in this shop, although I hardly ever go there for clothes, as there are a lot cheaper options and other places that sell similar attire for a cheaper price or where student like me can get discount, as this is one of the things they fail to offer. Overall it is a good shop, and they make up for the expense in other areas. Although it's not my first choice for normal items, I do prefer it for certain accessories.
My housemate works in retail and he was sent a 30% off voucher from a friend of his. Luckily for me he gave me the voucher to go and spend and as I needed some new sports clothes I was more than happy to take it.
You cannot pigeon hole this brand into just selling shoes as it also sells a whole range of sports stock too. From tracksuits to t shirts you will find it has branched out from some years ago. The styles are really funky too. It is like walking into a rainbow with purples and reds and yellows just sparkling out from behindeach other. The problem I find is the price. For me the styles are not that appealing I have sort of grown out of the whacky lime green addidas tracksuit type for example however if this is your thing then go here. But for something in the region of £60 I also know I can get much more my thing elsewhere in other stores.
That said I was in the market for a new set of runners and a pair of grey fleece tracksuit bottoms. I knew what I wanted but if I hadn't have done then I would not have been short of assistance. I went on a Saturday morning but the place was heaving. It was in Birmingham and there were lots of people milling around. Yet with that in mind I was asked 4 times by different people if I wanted any help. The voucher was in my pocket by the way. These sales guys were on it. I mean big time. I used to work in sales myself and had to smile to myself. They were fishing for some commission I guess but it was all done and said in a professional way. I have no complaints about their approach. Just great that they were enthusiastic. There is nothing worse than dealing with people who don't want to be there.
Finally after I purchased my runners and bottoms the guy serving me asked nicely and politely if I was in need of anything else. Again I had to smile.
Footlocker is a great store if for me a bit too expensive. I can understand why people get drawn in though and you will certainly stand out from the crowd in terms of style. A place to go if you don't want to look the same as everyone else.
This is the best shop to get labelled footwear and the odd hoodie.
There are 2 branches in Leeds, one of them is in the middle of the St Johns centre, and is always packed. Theres not enough room to sit down when trying on shoes and the sales assistants arent very helpful.
However, in the other branch on commercial street, the staff are excellent. They are friendly, chatty, and love their trainers.
Yesterday my boyfriend bought a pair of Timberland trainers from the commercial street branch for £90. They are sturdy like boots but arent actually boots. They are more like trainers with a high ankle and nice design.
The salesman who brought out all the sizes was so helpful and helped my undecisive boyfriend to the cheaper pair (I was glad as I was paying-early xmas present).
They also have a whole wall of womens and kids shoes. They sell labels such as Ecko, Timberland, Nike, Adidas, and other sports labels. The shoes are not overly expensive and are good quality. There are a lot of shoes that are exclusive to Footlocker, so not many people will be wearing the style, not like if you got your shoes from Sports World.
I can really recommend the commercial street branch. Its a good shopping experience and if you have the money now and again, its a good place to treat yourself to some good quality shoes.
Rarely does anyone write a review to tell everyone about what a great service they have received on their way round the high street, rather we are usually fed reviews from furious consumers who are stunned by their gas prices and bad customer services teams. After my recent encounters with 'Footlocker', I feel they are deserving of nothing less than a shining review to express exactly how pleased I have been with their service.
Still emerging and establishing itself as a clothing-force in Europe, the brand has long since demanded the attention of the American audience. with its head quarters being located in New York City. 'Footlocker' has also leant itself out to the Canadian and Australian market place, to name just two. I was shocked to discover that 'Footlocker' is actually a product of the 'Woolworth' family, and with its brand dying out to eventually be overthrown by 'Wal-Mart' in the States, they took an agressive outlook towards athletic apparel to create stores with trendy sport clothes similar to that of JD Sports.
Kinney Shoe Corp. opened its doors in 1963 and under various different names rode its luck until 1989 where a vision for the company was established, this would target enclosed shopping malls. The strategy allowed the company to replace its stores with new stores under a different title, aiming to drum up fresh interest. This would ultimately fail as they never developed any specialty stores for any of America's key shopping malls.
Woolworth's were out on their arse in the 'States, and this is representative of its steady decline in the UK market place as well. On the other hand, the US saw a growth in the casual footwear market as opposed to traditional shoe retailers. With the new millennium, 'Footlocker' would become the founders top performing outlet after striking a deal worth more than $350 million. With an established fanbase, 'Footlocker' could then go about designing itself including touches such as having employee uniforms resembling referee shirts.
With its own distinctive look and exclusive clothing, Footlocker was able to establish instelf as one of the most classy sports clothing stores going, despite the aforementioned referee outfits. The brands logo signifies this staffing gimmick with a stern looking referee placing his hands on his hips, all he's lacking is blowing the whistle on shoplifters. My first and only experience instore with Footlocker would come a month back as I ventured on a shopping trip to Bluewater Shopping Centre purposefully knowing Footlocker had a store on the premises. It was certainly worth the car journey...
Building up the anticipation for the store visit was exciting, and it wouldn't be far past all the other big-name designer shops (Lacoste, Fred Perry) that we would come across the shop selling clothes of similar appeal at a lower cost. Located straight opposite was a First Sport store, which is basically a JD Sports, and whilst this was useful so that you could journey across from the shops back and forth -- we ended up doing this all day. Unfortunately, after searching for a large JD's all my life I finally found one that dwarfed the size of Footlocker.
Footlocker was a very narrow experience, with the space working you down towards the checkout desk. Unlike some stores it was not cluttered and gave off the impression that they did not really need your business, and was a matter of buy if you want to. Whilst there were some incredibly nice clothes, the choice was slightly limited, and was almost like the London boutique of sports clothing. Trainers lined the sides of the shop, which Footlocker prides it on, but unfortunately the unique designs did little to pursuade me I need new trainers there and then. The long black benches were reminiscent of a locker room though.
A large selection of caps were avaliable, and unlike shops such as Sports World, the cap selection was actually enjoyable to look at. When you're seeing clothes in a shop that you never seen before, it's incredibly pleasing on the eye.
The staff worked exactly how they should do in a clothes store, and rather than disturbing you were only there when you needed them. I say that loosely as on a Saturday morning they seemed more worse for wear and rather discussing what they were going to do that night. I also heard them rambling about the celebrities they get instore, such as grime artist Kano.
Whilst I did not use the locker room space, there was a mirror right outside them that I checked myself out in numerous times. Just like many shops these days, they like to apply an 'ask to use the changing rooms' policy, but don't actively persue this. With a choice of jackets, our journey around Bluewater continued before actually going back to make the eventual purchase. I don't know why I let my walk around the centre be disturbed by the worry of low stock, as there was no indication of this, and my experience in other high class shops were probably damaged by my Footlocker obsession/distraction.
As my visits to Footlocker mean travelling, there is no one around my area that has the latest line of Footlocker casual sportswear, and this is further compounded by the fact that Footlocker do not operate a shopping online service. Right now you're either probably thinking; "What, they don't sell online?!" or "What, does he live in a hole!?"
In this day and age, you expect shops to be everywhere, but Footlocker must operate a less is more approach -- this is based on everything I know so far and the fact that their rent on their Bluewater store is probably one of the lowest in the whole centre. Without going into too much detail about the whole website, because they could really be another review, I'll explain what led me to even search for Footlocker online. First came me looking for a Footlocker store to visit in the UK, and from a section on the website I was able to choose from my European country and select from a list of cities where travel information was also avaliable.
Then came my horror when I realised I had bought a t-shirt that was just too big for me. It was a strange moment as I never get the wrong size, but obviously this particular tee went on oversized American basketball players medium size. I couldn't see the use in keeping a t-shirt and wearing it when it was to big for me, and shrinking it in the washing machine seemed like a bit of a risky option to use. Pawning it off on eBay crossed my mind, followed by hoping to find a friend that is a regular up Bluewater (or any Footlocker store). When all else fails, it's time to use the 'contact us' function on the official website.
I wrote in my e-mail about how I was such a happy customer, but really would love an exchange or my money back. I even recommended they open a store in Cambridge to benefit me and the people like myself. After a bit of a wait, I got an e-mail back apologising for the delay due to the high volume of queries they've had (my foot) but in better news - they surprised me by saying they were able to exchange my t-shirt for the right size if I was willing to post it off to them and the address my customer service advisor worked at.
My comment of bringing Footlocker to Cambridge was even greeted with a "we always take on board suggestions from our customers". How default. I got my t-shirt sent off and was happy to lose the couple pounds postage in exchange for the right size, but was expecting it would take about a month. To my surprise about a week later, I had my t-shirt back in the right size with a 'sincere apology' letter.. funny thing is, buying the wrong size was my fault in the first place. The constantly apologising did make me slightly uncomfortable and didn't feel sincere, but I was happy to keep taking it off them as they appeared to really care for their customers. Either that or they don't understand what their customers are saying.
In conclusion, there is no reason why Footlocker should not be able to grow to a level where they can do whatever they want. They could be at that stage already and I'm just in my own little bubble due to not having a local store, but until I do have a local store I will not feel they have the UK domination of many other rival brands. A regulary updated website showing off their lines of Adidas, Nike, Puma, etc. clothing is a step in the right direction -- there is nothing worse than a company that has an unchanged website.
I do not feel Footlocker have the domination with their trainers that they think they have by the title of their store, but the overall picture is that Footlocker's clothing line is much better than any other shop out there. The only place it lets itself down is slightly on the fact their range on show wasn't that extensive when I visited in Spring. Whilst the staff were struggling through the day instore and not looking bothered if you robbed the place, the staff on the website were over-the-top but incredibly helpful. I guess there's a happy medium in there somewhere. Everything about my experiences with Footlocker have been enjoyable though, and the brand only lucks out when they don't fill my car up for my visits.

Dartmouth Gets $100-Million Gift for Academic Efforts
Dartmouth College has received an anonymous and largely unrestricted $100-million donation that it will use to enhance a program to create faculty teams across disciplines to foster innovative approaches to global problems, The Boston Globe reports.
The gift, to be formally announced Thursday, comes from a family with close ties to the Hanover, N.H., campus that wishes to remain unidentified. "The only restriction is that the gift be used to build the academic excellence of Dartmouth," college President Philip J. Hanlon said.
The donation will allow the school to create 30 to 40 endowed faculty positions in connection with Mr. Hanlon's "Cluster Initiative" to build interdisciplinary teams to tackle international challenges in education, health care, and other areas. Funds will also be used to expand Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering.

SYDNEY, Oct 22 (Reuters) Left-arm seamer Mitchell Johnson has advanced his claims for a place in Australia's test team, captain Ricky Ponting said today.
Johnson was Australia's leading bowler in the recent one-day series in India and is likely to join Brett Lee and Stuart Clark in a three-pronged pace attack for the first test against Sri Lanka in Brisbane starting on November 8.
''Mitchell Johnson has come along in leaps and bounds,'' Ponting told reporters after arriving home in Sydney from India.
''When we've got young fast bowlers like him it just takes them a few breakout performances to really feel part of the team.
''He's had a good solid run at it and we've all seen over the last few weeks just how much potential he has got.
''He's done everything right as far as putting his name up in front of the selectors.'' Johnson has played 25 one-day internationals, taking 40 wickets at an average of 24.62, and the retirement of Glenn McGrath has created a vacancy in the test team's seam bowling department.
''The way Mitchell Johnson bowled in India, he's definitely put his hand up,'' said McGrath, who announced today that he will play a one-off Twenty20 game for New South Wales in January.
Fast bowler Shaun Tait is also in the running to earn a test recall after proving his return to fitness following elbow surgery.

Singapore, Singapore, 2013/07/23 - Teleperformance was named the Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Contact Center Outsourcing Service Provider of the Year for the second consecutive time at the 2013 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific ICT Awards held on the 17th of July at the St Regis, Singapore.
The Asia Pacific region is a high-growth region for contact center outsourcing; although most contact center functions are still performed in-house, outsourcing shows strong growth. Historically, offshore revenue has been the key driver of the Asia Pacific contact center market. Cost savings, solid infrastructure, and language proficiency boost Asia Pacific locations as offshore destinations for contact center outsourcing.
Teleperformance has an established business presence in the Asia Pacific region. The company has expanded throughout Asia since the mid-90s, and now operates 21 facilities across 7 countries, employing over 25,000 people. Arguably, Teleperformance offers the most extensive regional footprint among outsourcers.
"Teleperformance creates value for clients by providing premium customer interaction services that are attuned to their requirements. The company has been demonstrating consistent growth thanks to its client-focused approach, as well as emphasis on customer care thought leadership, and cost effective solutions. Its growth strategy has been built around expertise in technology and right-shoring," said Krishna Baidya, Research Manager for Frost & Sullivan's Asia Pacific ICT practice.
He continued,"The Company's growing focus on Asia was evident from its expanding foot-print in the region and pursuing customers within the region. This has yielded well for the company with many leading brands from broad range of industries signing in as customers last year, resulting in over 15% revenue growth, considerably faster than its competitors."
Founded in 2004, the Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific ICT Awards program is now in its 10th consecutive year, and seeks to recognize companies and individuals that have demonstrated best practices in their industry, commending the diligence, commitment, and innovative business strategies required to advance in the global marketplace.
Frost & Sullivan identifies the outstanding industry achievements in the past year by companies in the regional and global markets, through in-depth interviews, market analysis, performance measurements, and benchmarking of market participants to bring unique best practices to forefront.
The research results are then presented to an independent panel of judges, comprising of influential personalities, decision-makers and thought leaders from the ICT sector across Asia pacific where the award recipient is selected.

Fighting and Military Units
Aus Ministry of Culture
Before fighting, It is recommended that you join an MU (Military Unit). There are several MU's to choose from and some supply you with weapons and food. Also they set a Daily Order each day from which upon completing, will be awarded the 5 parts to make a bazooka, and also an Energy Bar. To join an MU, click on the Community tab
and then click on Military Unit
This will open up a new page showing the various MU's available in your country.
Clicking "show more" will reveal more MU's. Clicking until you can no longer click "show more" will reveal all MU's available.
Clicking on the MU's avatar will bring you to its home page, where you can see it's members and the option to join.
Once you have decided on which Military Unit to join, click on join and you will be brought to the members home page of the Unit, where you can see the recruits orders, and later on, the Daily Order.
These orders can also be seen on your home page.
Gaining rank points
The only way to increase a citizen's rank is to defeat your opponents, in a war, on a battlefield and completing special Missions. Citizens receive Rank Points after they have successfully defeated an opponent. The amount of Rank Points depends on the amount of influence a soldier adds, after defeating an opponent. For example, if a player defeats an opponent and adds +50 war influence in any given battle, he/she also receives 5 Rank Points (influence/10).
Note: Natural enemy bonus does not affect to the amount of rank points received.
Upon completing the Recruits orders, the Daily Order will be available to see and do.
OK kids, you have made it past your first day of work and training and you are now probably wondering how you can help you country even more by taking on the enemy on the battlefield. At first you may be daunted by the fact, or, as most people do, plunge headlong into the water without checking for rocks first.
All battles take place right here, and has lots of useful information at a glance. Each fight takes 10 health, and each enemy can take up to 6 or 7 fights to kill, so be sure you can afford food to finish at least one fight. I will try and explain to you some fighting theories and also what everything is on the battlefield, pictured here. This shows mine and my opponents strength, our weapons, rank and also the country in which my opponent is fighting from..
Lets begin at very top of the page.
Influence Bar:
This indicates how much influence (also called damage) each side has done. As you can see, the home team (Blue) has had less influence in the fight than the enemy has had. There is also a timer. This indicates how much time is left in the current battle. As you can see your side (Blue) is losing this battle so far.
Battle??? Please explain!!!!!!
Every campaign has 8-15 battles which last from 1 and a half hours to 2 hours depending on how dominant one combatant is.
The battle is automatically closed after 2 hours, even if the sides don't reach 1800 points.
The winner of each divisional battle is the side that first reaches over 1800 points, or the one who has more points after 2 hours of battle. Every minute one side has over 50% control will award the side with a number of points depending on the time.
0-30 minutes into the battle, 10 points at every minute;
31-60 minutes into the battle, 20 points at every minute;
61-90 minutes into the battle; 30 points at every minute;
91-120 minutes into the battle, 60 points at every minute
In order for a battle to end, every division needs a side to reach 1800 points. If one division finishes before the rest they must wait until all divisional battles are finished before the next one can begin. This way all divisions start at the same time each battle.
If both countries have 1800 points at the end (division is tied), defender will be declared as winner.
Division Type Experience Level Required Experience Points
I National Guard 1 – 24 0
II Soldiers 25 – 29 5,000
III Special Forces 30 – 36 25,000
IV Tanks 37+ 60,000
Divisions collect points for reaching 1800 points on their side. The breakdown of points is as such
1st Division = 1 point
2nd Division = 2 points
3rd Division = 3 points
4th division = 5 points
Once a side has reached 83 points in total, the campaign will end.
Battle hero achievements are awarded in every battle to 8 soldiers: One to each citizen with the highest influence in their separate division, on both sides. If 2 citizens deal the same influence, citizen with the higher XP will receive the Battle Hero medal.
Ok lets do this thing…
Each fight usually takes 2-3 hits. Sometimes it may take only one, sometimes four or more. It depends on their strength, your strength and the weapons that you are using. For each one of these fights you will lose 10 energy.
You can use the button below
to swap through any Q weapons you have.
Hit the fight button.
After you have used the fight button you will kill your opponent. You will also lose energy and how much depends on how many hits are needed to kill your opponent. Once you kill your opponent the "Add Influence" screen will appear. Click "Add influence"
Only then will your influence count and you will receive a new opponent.
Resistance Wars (RW)
Resistance wars are fought when any territory of your country is conquered. To support a Resistance war will cost 1000 CC and it needs the support 9 other citizens (10 in total) and you must be located in a conquered territory. On the home page you will see a RW banner with upto 10 available slots for citizens to show their support. Only one RW can be started at any one time, and if the war is lost, 24 hours from the finish of the war must pass before another can take place. If the war is won, another RW can be started immediately.
Natural Enemy (NE)
A country can choose a natural enemy once every 7 days. Only countries that share a border with your nation can be selected as NE and this must be both proposed and voted on by congress.
You can get free supplies by joining an army like the Australian Defence Force.You can hop into IRC and chat to them at #ADF and they will help you join and tell you where to fight that will help the country.

Remember if you are new, DO NOT blitz all your food/fights just count to 10 and check where you are, as you will lvl and gain gold and burn that gold. That gold can be used to improve your strength.
Excellent article, and remember kids when you start out DO NOT blow all your gold, save for the first few weeks/months until you can upgrade your training centres (But only when they are 44 - 50% off)
How come the Diggers were not mentioned as a MU?
Please edit this paper to include them thanks
and as i stated before louise, these are the options i got when i looked at ALL MUs option. Once again TAKE IT UP WITH ADMIN
Well if you are happy to post obsloete info ronnyjunior.
I guess near enough is good enough
are some kind of stupid louise??? THIS IS WHAT ADMIN SHOWS TO NEW PLAYERS. IT IS NOT OUTDATED, IT IS JUST INCOMPLETE DUE TO ADMINS LACK OF PROGRAMMING SKILLS. Can you understand that now???
Heres a tip. Resign from your MU and go and check out the JOIN A MILITARY UNIT page yourself. You will see that it is not my PRINTSCREEN abilities, but your lack of understanding about admins INCOMPETENCE
Not Ronny's fault, I wish the freakin admin would get there shit together. I would post a ticket, but due to the admins lack of programming skills, the page where I lodge tickets don't work for me.
I have sent several tickets regarding this very matter. Its not like you can apply to any MU from the actual image shown tho is it.... There are several other MUs not shown but i dont see them crying. Just for louise, here is a screenshot taken from TODAY.
Surprise, surprise, Diggers MU is STILL not shown, along with at least 2 others (mine included) Prolly best to send ADMINS a ticket regarding their lack of skills in programming and preventing MUs to gain members by not showing them in the join up page.
Louise, he is right. A friend that is a new player told me that the AD was not listed. MW may need to send a ticket to the admins and ask why we do not show up. It may be a bug.
Re Diggers not showing
Ticket sent:18 Jan 2013
FVI-781084: My military unit is not among those suggested
still analyzing.......................zzz
Well OK then. ITS JUST THE CAPITALS THAT GET UNDER MY SKIN RONNYJNR.
Shouting doesn't make things clearer. ITS JUST FRIGGIN RUDE MATE!!!!!
Well you didn't understand it when I didn't use capitals in the first article
and you didn't understand it in this article either.
So when you are seemingly blind and/or deaf to what is told to you, maybe shouting is appropriate. Either that or you have trouble reading and comprehending...or maybe just haven't reached grade 4 yet...

text: I am drinking this again, and it doesn't please me as much as the first time. I think I may have overrated this, I think I was in a positive mood or something? It's hard to rate tea because love tea so much and I often find every tea amazing. I think a good tea is one that is strong but subtle with unique flavors. I like a tea that tastes like tea, if that makes sense. I love really herbal-earthy teas, and I don't have many in my cupboard, because I am a little child and my parents buy me fruity teas, so I think I have accustomed to them. But sipping this right now, I realize that this is not what I desire, I have just gotten used to this blandness! Sure it's sweet, and nice by all means, but it does not give me the same feeling a good tea should give. I know I sound like a huge hippie tea drinker right now, but I think most of you will understand. It kind of feels like I'm drinking hot cranberry juice. So there's my rant, and I decided I am going to go tea shopping.

Issues with Forgot Password page?
site: http://www.thehartwoodclub.org
Building a new site and started off with installing your awesome plugin. I think it is exactly what I need, but am having some trouble with the login/lost password pages. I placed the login widget in my sidebar, and it works exactly as expected. However, when testing the "forgot password" link, it takes me to a page (url: http://thehartwoodclub.org/login/?action=forgot) that doesn't have any form for people to enter info into…just says "Forgot Password" as the page name, and then has the following text: Username or Email Address Login, not hyperlinked of with any form. Same thing if I log out using the link on my sidebar- it goes to Ideally, what I would like is for unlogged in people to go either to the home page, where they will see the login widget on the sidebar, OR to a page I've created called "Member Access," which has the form created using your shortcode in it. I have also created a "Forgot Password page" which is currently visible on the site, though I'd ultimately hide it, but that is where I'd like to direct people when they have forgotten their password. I feel like I must be missing something really obvious- can you help?
Question 2- I intend to set up all the users so that they don't have the grey admin bar showing while they are on the site (for aesthetic reasons.) Is there a way that I can link them to where they would change their password if that bar is disabled, though? I'd like them to be able to change their password if they want to.
- The topic 'Issues with Forgot Password page?' is closed to new replies.

Dear Diana,
I find myself in a predicament. My guy is involved with another girl, but is attracted to me as well. He says it is perfectly okay to be attracted to both of us. He has not told his official girlfriend about me. This has been going on for almost two years. He says he is at peace with me. Never have I brought up the subject of his girlfriend. Should I just stop talking to him? He's keeping me a secret from everyone because he wants the other girl as well. I feel bad for her, but we are just so perfect for each other. I want him to break up with the other girl, but he is in no mood to do so. How do I deal with this?
— Ishmeet
Illustration/Amit Bandre
Dear Ishmeet,
His girlfriend has no clue what is going on. It has been almost two years and it is strange that she has not got a whiff of it. You are lucky not to be caught, but sooner or later you will. It will them mess up your life as well as his. If you keep this going for any longer, it will only spell trouble for you. Remember if he liked you, he would have split with the other girl. This man is playing with the two of you. She is clueless what is going on, but you are well aware and still allowing yourself to be his girlfriend according to his convenience. This arrangement suits him fine, but why are you putting yourself in such a situation? Tell him he has to choose between you two. If he does not, stop being his girlfriend of convenience. Find someone who will commit to you. Not someone who will fool around like this guy is doing. Chances are that he might dump you for someone else.
Diana will solve it!

With more than 400 vendors, the 46th annual Nebraska Muzzleloading Rifle Club Gun Show drew thousands of customers old and new this weekend.
"We've done a lot of new gun sales of people that have never had a gun before," said Gary Loseke of Exotic Gun Shop.
Sellers said the rush is part of a national trend that began after the Newtown, Connecticut shootings nearly half a year ago. More people buying, and buying more, in fear of gun control measures.
"Anytime we have 9-millimeter ammunition or 22 long-rifle ammunition, it's insane. One person will walk in and see it and call their friends and say, hey you got to come buy some while they have it. So it sells out very fast," said Dan Piganell of Exeter Arms.
Organizers said the show is bigger than ever, while dealers noted that sales are still at record levels.
"It's calmed down some from a month ago, but it's still pretty busy," said Loseke.
This despite the fact that the Senate shot down the latest gun control legislation last month.
"A lot of people are still worried because they can still change their mind, an executive order, something like that, so there's still a lot of nervous people," Loseke said.
But unless there's drastic gun control measures passed, dealers said they predict sales will drop soon.
"Most people that were worried, I think, have gone out and purchased a lot of stuff, and they're maybe already stocked up," said Piganell.
"You know there's only so many people. You can only have so many guns," said Loseke. "Some time it's going to have to slow down somewhere, but ya, it's going to drop back down to where it was probably a year or two ago."

As U.S. District Court Judge Thomas M. Hardiman and his family gathered around the television on Thursday to watch the Senate confirmation vote on his nomination to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, his 6-year-old daughter asked, "Is 'yea' good, Daddy?"
"Marissa, of course it's good," her 12-year-old sister chastised her.
And after a short time, they learned that their father had been confirmed to the court by a unanimous vote of 95 to 0.
His tentative installation is scheduled for April 5. The judge will continue to work out of the federal courthouse in Pittsburgh.
"The past three-plus years have been the most rewarding I've spent in the law, both because of the nature of the work and the caliber of people with whom I have had the privilege of serving," Judge Hardiman said.
"The work of an appellate judge is different than that of a trial judge, but I look forward to the intellectual challenges that it presents."
The two positions are vastly different. Instead of presiding over cases, handing down sentences and having daily interaction with litigants and lawyers, Judge Hardiman will move into a very cerebral position.
His days will be spent reading lengthy briefs, directing legal research, conferring with fellow judges, and writing opinions.
He will likely sit for oral argument about six times each year, most often in Philadelphia, though argument is occasionally heard in other cities in the circuit, including Pittsburgh.
Judge Hardiman, 41, joined the District Court in November 2003.
Chief U.S. District Judge Donetta Ambrose said her colleague will be sorely missed.
"It's a huge loss for us, and a wonderful additional for the Court of Appeals," she said.
Judge Hardiman, who is known in the courthouse for delivering well-reasoned, thoughtful comments during criminal proceedings, grew up in the blue-collar neighborhood of Waltham, Mass., and was in the first generation of his family to go to college.
He did his undergraduate work at the University of Notre Dame and went to law school at Georgetown University.
He and his wife, the former Lori Zappala, have three children.

By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone )
HAS THE ESTABLISHMENT WON THE GOP'S CIVIL WAR? No one has fired up Republicans more than one person: President Obama. But with his political spotlight gradually starting to fade as he inevitably slides into the role of second-term lame duck in the White House, will Obama be as much of a motivating factor for Republican voters this fall as he's been in recent elections? "For voters more in the middle, I am concerned that he may be becoming almost irrelevant," Steven Law, president of the leading Republican super PAC, American Crossroads, said in an interview with ABC's JEFF ZELENY, host of "The Fine Print." Four months before the midterm elections, with Republicans within reach of winning control of the Senate, that's one of the questions on Law's mind: Is stopping Obama as urgent for Republicans as it was in 2010, when the GOP won back the House? WATCH: http://yhoo.it/1m9ZYxa
ABC's RICK KLEIN: It's time to take Gov. Rick Perry seriously again - and no, that has nothing to do with his glasses. Has any 2016er had a better summer than Perry? He's been the face of the opposition to President Obama on the immigration crisis that's been the biggest domestic story of the last several weeks. And his decision to engage Sen. Rand Paul on foreign policy places him in the middle of the emerging debate that could well define the 2016 Republican primaries. Even Paul's response today, in a dueling op-ed that tweaks Perry for both the immigration crisis and his recent switch to glasses over contacts, builds the Texas governor up as the face of the GOP establishment: "Tough talk like Perry's might inspire some for the moment, but when bombast becomes policy it can have long and disastrous consequences." http://politi.co/1tHV04j
ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE: Think it's too early for 2016 talk? Look no further than the dueling op-eds between Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. Facing off against each on other on opposing foreign policy viewpoints they are both staking their claim early and Paul makes it clear he is willing to fight back immediately once he feels his views are being skewed. Over the weekend, Perry wrote in the Washington Post Paul's views are dangerous to the country, calling Perry "curiously blind" to the threats the country faces. "Ignoring the growth of the Islamic State and events in Syria and Iraq will only ensure that the problem will fester and grow," Perry said responding to Paul's op-ed last month in the Wall Street Journal. But, Paul hit back hard almost immediately writing in Politico, "Rick Perry is dead wrong," and even teasing him about his new black rimmed glasses and calling it a "fictionalized account" of his foreign policy. This is clearly an establishment vs. libertarian or even tea party view of foreign policy and it's a fight waging across the country in primary fights, but this is on a much bigger stage. We can expect to see it front and center in the lead up to 2016 and then on both the campaign trail and the debate stage.
with ABC's SCOTT WILSON
OBAMA SAYS GOP LAWSUIT WILL COST TAX DOLLARS. In his weekly radio/YouTube address, President Obama derided House Republicans' planned lawsuit against him, warning that GOP lawmakers will spend taxpayer dollars on a frivolous legal challenge, ABC's CHRIS GOOD reports. "It's a political stunt that's going to waste months of America's time. And by the way, they're going to pay for it using your hard-earned tax dollars," Obama said. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has orchestrated the beginnings of a lawsuit against the president over his use of executive authority. As the White House and the GOP-controlled House have failed to compromise on a slew of issues during Obama's tenure, the president has repeatedly sought to circumvent political intransigence with unilateral executive action, often accusing Republicans of refusing to compromise. Republicans, in turn, have alleged that Obama is not sincerely interested in working with them and has overreached beyond his authority. The lawsuit will focus on Obama's massaging of his signature health care law, the Affordable Care Act. http://abcn.ws/1rgEDrd
HOUSE JUDICIARY CHAIR GOODLATTE DISMISSES CALLS FOR OBAMA IMPEACHMENT. House Judiciary Committee chair Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia, said Sunday on "This Week" that he won't push for the impeachment of President Obama, despite recent calls by some Republicans, according to ABC's KARI REA. "We are not working on or drawing up articles of impeachment," Goodlatte told ABC's GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS on "This Week" Sunday. "The Constitution is very clear as to what constitutes grounds for impeachment of the President of the United States. He has not committed the kind of criminal acts that call for that." Other Republicans, including former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, have rallied for impeachment charges against Obama. In a recent column published on Breitbart.com, Palin wrote "It's time to impeach…The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored." While Goodlatte said this morning that he won't pursue impeachment, he did express support for House Speaker John Boeher's efforts to sue Obama for overstepping presidential authority through his use of executive orders to modify aspects of the Affordable Care Act. http://abcn.ws/1ycOZvr
ON HEELS OF SPY CONTROVERSY, KERRY MEETS WITH GERMAN COUNTERPART IN VIENNA. This may well have been very awkward, notes ABC's CHRIS GOOD. Three days after Germany expelled the CIA's top official in Germany, Secretary of State John Kerry met with his German counterpart, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, along with U.S. and German delegations in Vienna. The meeting was not called to address the intelligence controversy, which arose after new allegations of U.S. spying on Germany, after the NSA's reported eavesdropping on German Chancellor Angela Merkel drew a sharp reaction last year. As the meeting got under way, Kerry wished Germany good luck in today's World Cup final, and he made no mention of spying as he addressed reporters after the meeting ended. "Let me emphasize, the relationship between the United States and Germany is a strategic one. We have enormous political cooperation and we are great friends and we will continue to work together in the kind of spirit that we exhibited today," Kerry said, according to a pool reporter traveling with him. Steinmeier spoke in German without translation after the meeting. http://abcn.ws/U2e10P
4 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER. Attorney General Eric Holder sat down with ABC's PIERRE THOMAS for an interview that aired Sunday on "This Week." ABC's BENJAMIN BELL has the scoop with four things you might not know about Holder. 1. HIS PERSONAL LIFE: Holder was born in New York City and went to Stuyvesant High School. He earned an undergraduate degree in American history from Columbia University and later a law degree from Columbia Law School. 2. HIS CAREER: Holder is the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and the first African-American to hold the position. 3. HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH REPUBLICANS AS AG: Holder - who is the only member of the cabinet to be held in contempt of Congress - has had an especially prickly relationship with some House Republicans. 4. HIS REAGAN CONNECTION: Despite his seemingly tense relationship with Congressional Republicans, some might be surprised to know Holder actually was nominated by President Reagan in 1988 to become an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. http://abcn.ws/U7DYN1
CHECK OUT OBAMA'S MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR MARTHA'S VINEYARD VACATION PAD. The commander-in-chief will be beach bummin' it in Martha's Vineyard, Mass, this summer, and the home he is reportedly renting out looks amazing, note ABC's ERIN DOOLEY and BENJAMIN SIEGEL. President Obama and the first lady are planning a two-week vacation at a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home in Chilmark, the Martha's Vineyard Times reports. The first family will travel to the island from Aug. 9 to Aug. 24, making the 15-day getaway the longest summer vacation of Obama's presidency. While the location of their vacation home was supposed to be under wraps, neighbors confirmed to the local newspaper that the Obamas will be staying at a luxurious home owned by Joanne Hubschman, whose late husband, Henry, was a former executive at General Electric. The 17-room house, worth an estimated $12 million, sits on a 10-acre lot and features an infinity pool, a dual tennis-basketball court, an indoor gym and views of the Vineyard Sound, according to the Martha's Vineyard Times. http://abcn.ws/1q4bEtA

A SALISBURY slimming club had a novel approach to shifting the Christmas pounds this month.
Harnham Slimming World leader Sharon Morris asked members to bring in any leftover unopened packets of festive temptations to donate to the Trussell Trust.
The local charity collects food donations and provides emergency food packages to families in crisis or on low income, that wouldn't be able to eat without the foodbank.
The Harnham slimmers collected a massive 70lbs, or five stone, of food and the group also lost the most weight they have ever lost that week, more than 100lbs between them.
