found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Rosie has access to a doggie door and loves being out in the yard and spending the day watching the trees for furry invaders. She gets along well with all her canine buddies and will occasionally join in a game of chase or tug of war, but really does take her job of guarding the yard seriously! Rosie is fully house broken and never needs to be kenneled. She has never gotten into anything that did not belong to her. Rosie has a nice bay, but does not use it much. She even chases squirrels quietly.
Rosie is a sweet and loving girl who enjoys time spent with her humans after her "work" is finished for the day! Rosie walks well on a leash and is gentle around small children. She will make a good companion for any type home. As long as you have trees in your yard, this beautiful beagle will be happy!
Rosie - character!, a Houston Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Houston, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Houston.

The effects of MPE (maximum permissible exposure) on the characteristics of electro-holographic displays are analyzed. The main effect is the reduction in the spectral range to be presented by the displays. The range will be reduced more as the pixel and hologram sizes of the displays become smaller and larger, respectively. The spectral range for the hologram size 0.5m and pixel size 0.8µm will be about 50nm less than that of the visible. In addition to the spectral range, the reconstructed image size should not be smaller than the value defined by 0.1 times of the diffracted intensity of the image to meet the MPE requirement for eye.

text: New W.Va. exporters recognized By Paul J. Nyden June 6, 2013 Story Share Chip Ellis Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin presents an award to Jeannette and Jon Meriwether, who run Merco Marine in Wellsburg, which exports boat dock products to the Bahamas, China and other countries. Chip Ellis Fifty-two businesses in West Virginia were honored at Thursday's ceremony at the Culture Center for exporting their products to a new country. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jon Meriwether's company, located on the banks of the Ohio River, produces and sells 1,900 different items to build and maintain boat docks."We sell in all 50 states. Now we are also sending our dock products to the Bahamas, China, Japan, Canada and Mexico," Meriwether said after a ceremony Thursday for the West Virginia businesses who exported their goods to a new country in 2012."We have never laid anybody off in the 20 years we have operated the business," Meriwether said of his business, Merco Marine in Wellsburg. "Later this year, we will be taking all our employees and their spouses on a cruise." In all, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, the West Virginia Export Council and the West Virginia Development Office honored 52 businesses for beginning to ship exports to new countries during the past year.In 2012, the value of West Virginia exports set a new record high of $11.3 billion, according to Tomblin. Exports include a wide variety of physical products - such as glass, wood, steel, shoes and fishing equipment -- as well as electronic devices and communication software, he said.Countries newly receiving West Virginia products span the world, from China to Chile, from Australia to Canada, from Mongolia and South Korea to Tanzania and South Africa."Expanding into new markets around the world has provided our businesses an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to successfully compete in the global marketplace," Tomblin said during the ceremony at the Culture Center. "I'm pleased to have this opportunity to honor them for their success." State Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette said, "This is the third record year in a row. We have been among the top two or three states in the country in terms of the percentage increase for our exports."Don Gallion, chairman of the West Virginia Export Council, called West Virginia "truly a world-class exporting state."He cited Allegheny Wood Products from Petersburg, which began trading with Indonesia and Mexico, while Steel of West Virginia from Huntington began shipping products to the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, China and South Africa.Gallion also praised West Virginia University and Marshall University for offering "export management classes for the 12th year. They train students to be prepared for this [export] business." Tomblin said West Virginia exports grew by 25 percent last year, "surpassing the national growth rate of 4.4 percent."Ryuichi Sakamoto, president of Nippon Tungsten USA in Barboursville, said the West Virginia branch of his Japan-based company has begun sending die cutters and metal alloys to Ecuador, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.Schonstedt Instrument Co., based in Kearneysville in Jefferson County, makes equipment and devices to detect metal underground.Bob Ebberson, Schonstedt's director of business development, said his company's products help detect the locations of underground utility equipment, including water pipes, gas lines, electric cables and ferrous metals. Today, Shonstedt exports that equipment, which helps prevent leaks and explosions resulting from piercing underground pipes, to more than 50 countries."We have also teamed up with the United Nations to find underground ordinances," often called land mines, Ebberson said."We provide free equipment for humanitarian cleaning teams in 500 different locations in 24 countries. We are proud of that program that is cleaning up the earth."Thousands of land mines, still dangerously explosive, remain underground across countries like Vietnam, Cambodia and Angola.W. Ray Sickles, owner of Gurkee's Rope Sandals in Morgantown, said it was the first year his company, now 29 years old, received an export award."For years, we have sent our sandals all over the United States. Now, we also send them to Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and Tanzania," he said. "They all called us asking for our sandals." The awards handed out, the Governor's Commendation for International Market Entry, include a framed piece of currency from each new country now buying products produced by West Virginia businesses.Reach Paul J.

Turns out Betty White had nothing to be worried about.
The 88-year-old actress fronted what may have been the best "Saturday Night Live" this season. Her timing was spot on, her interaction with new and returning "SNL" castmembers excellent, and her delivery was… well, quite dirty at times, as the above NPR sketch (with guest "SNL" alums Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon) shows. (Yes, I believe they'll be talking about Betty White's muffin for some time on Facebook.)
Jay-Z also offered up an epic medley of hits, and gave a shout-out to White at the end of his second number. Also back: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Rachel Dratch.
"So glad I went tonight," Tweeted "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" exec producer Mike Shoemaker, an "SNL" alum who attended his first taping since leaving the show. "I remember when we hired every one of them, and they all made me proud."

Coming off a 5-0 weekend, the Minnesota softball team has proven that it can put up big numbers both offensively and from a pitching standpoint.
Now it will be up to the Gophers to show how consistent they can be, as they travel to the Tennessee-Martin Tournament to take on five more teams.
Minnesota faces Dartmouth at 3 p.m. Friday before taking on Northern Iowa at 10 a.m Saturday and Ball State at 3 p.m. The Gophers play Tennessee-Martin and Indiana on Sunday in back-to- back games, which begin at 10 a.m.
After out-scoring opponents 25-3 in five games last weekend, coach Lisa Bernstein expressed confidence in her team's development so far this season.
"Our goal is to keep getting better each day, and we've been doing that," she said. "Everyone is maximizing their personal potential so far this year, and we've gotten production from all parts of the lineup."
But it was Minnesota's pitching that really stood out last week, as juniors Briana Hassett and Katie Dalen shut down the competition.
Hassett went 3-0 over the weekend, with a 0.35 ERA in 20 innings of work to earn Big Ten Player of the Week, while Dalen continued to improve and impress, walking just one batter en route to a 2-0 weekend record.
"Last weekend our pitching got a lot stronger," freshman shortstop Brianna Sudenga said. "Briana gave up just one run, and Katie only walked one batter, it was an amazing weekend for them."
Dalen, who lowered her ERA to 3.86 while winning her third consecutive game, had fairly simple answers for her early-season improvement, and the pitching staff's dominance in general.
"We're working on getting ahead of hitters and hitting our spots," she said. "I think we're getting into a rhythm out there now that we've had a little bit of a wake-up call."
But Bernstein said Dalen's steady improvement wasn't the only thing the pitcher brings to the team this year, noting Dalen's work ethic and focus.
"Katie's a great team player," Bernstein said. "She's dedicated and she's coachable, and our infield loves to play behind her. All those things factor in to her success."
Obviously team-oriented, Dalen was quick to divert any of that attention away from herself, complimenting the offense Minnesota has been able to put forth so far this season.
"The offensive support has really helped, because you know that your team is going to fight for you," Dalen said. "They've come back in several games so far, and we can count on them scoring plenty of runs for us."

On Your Toes
When I recently ran into an old friend of mine named Terry I couldn't help but notice he was limping. The problem: He'd hurt his toe playing basketball. Or that's what he thought anyway.
A few days later Terry called me to ask for some health references. Turns out, an intense game of pickup basketball wasn't the cause of the toe pain. At age 29 Terry had been diagnosed with gout, a health problem more common to people over the age of 40.
I was able to steer Terry to several good sources of information about treating gout without the use of prescription drugs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). I'll have more on those sources in a moment, but first I'll tell you about a new study that examines factors that increase the risk of developing gout. This study won't be helpful for Terry, but it will for many others who may be able to fend off this condition that has no cure.
Throwing weight around
By some estimates, as many as three quarters of all gout patients have inherited a genetic condition that inhibits the excretion of uric acid. Kidney failure and a high intake of diuretic drugs or diuretic foods (such as liver) can also cause this problem. The other precursor of gout – the excessive production of uric acid – is triggered by hereditary factors too, as well as excessive alcohol consumption and obesity.
The last item on that list was the focus of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston who devised a study to evaluate the risk of gout associated with obesity and weight change. Hypertension and diuretic drug use were also considered.
The MGH team examined 12 years of medical records for more than 47,000 men, aged 40 to 75 years, who participated in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. At the outset, none of the men had gout. During the data-gathering period 730 cases of gout were diagnosed.
When subjects whose normal weight was on the low side were compared to subjects with higher body weights, the risk of gout generally increased as weight increased.
Other results:
- Gout risk was more than four times higher among obese subjects compared to those with normal weight
- Subjects who reported losing 10 or more pounds during the 12-year study period had nearly 40 percent lower risk of gout compared to those whose weight didn't change
- Subjects who took diuretic drugs had more than one and a half times higher risk of gout compared to those who didn't
- Subjects with high blood pressure had more than two times the risk of gout compared to those with normal blood pressure
The cherry method man
The MGH study didn't examine the effects of weight gain or loss on subjects already diagnosed with gout, so the results won't have an impact on Terry's case. But given the fact that there's no downside to avoiding obesity, it's safe to say that Terry can only help his cause if he stays fit by continuing with the pickup basketball games.
In the e-Alert "Bowl of Cherries" (1/28/04), I told you about a colleague of mine here at HSI named Ramsey who has coped with gout for several years. When Ramsey was first diagnosed he did some research and came across what was described as an old wives tale: Cherries relieve gout. The source he found said to eat two pounds of cherries at the onset of an attack. That's a lot of cherries, but when he tried it, the duration of his gout attacks was cut in half.
Ramsey also found helpful advice from a book, titled "Getting Rid of Gout: A Guide to Management and Prevention" by Bryan Emerson (Oxford University Press, 1996), which has information about foods that can trigger gout attacks (such as fish, broccoli, asparagus, coffee and orange juice), and tips for lessening the effects of an attack (such as drinking cherry juice, in addition to eating cherries). Drinking lots of water also helps flush uric acid from the system.
Organ meat is another trigger that Ramsey has to steer clear of. In fact, high protein diets in general can increase uric acid production and aggravate gout symptoms.
Celery seed and yoga
In a follow-up to that January 2004 e-Alert, I shared some e-mails I received from HSI members who had found other ways to treat gout.
A member named Ernie wrote: "You missed the best oneCelery seed will stop gout attacks, and it has many other benefits." Several other members also wrote to suggest using celery seed, which can be taken in extract form. And Ernie is correct about celery seed benefits; in addition to gout relief, celery seed is also reputed to reduce inflammation, calm muscle spasms and fight bacteria.
Another botanical used to reduce gout pain is extract of juniper, rich in antioxidant flavonoids. A member named Lee writes: "A friend who also has gout suggested Juniper. It works well for me and relief is usually within a few hours! I take 2,500 mg capsules 2 or 3 times the first day. I then take 1 cap. 3x/day until the pain is gone completely, rarely more that 3 days."
A visit to the chiropractor was so effective for a member named Kris that she categorizes it as a cure. And practicing yoga might lead to relief, according to a member named CL who says, "I teach the Bikram Style of Hatha Yoga and I have seen many students heal their gout pain thru Yoga."
Coincidentally, Terry's wife happens to be a yoga teacher. Maybe it's time to trade in the hoops for a Yoga mat.
To Your Good Health,

There are a number of different markets based around the upcoming RBS Six Nations, so let's take a look at where you can find the best bets whichever country you will be supporting.
England are 2/1 favourites with Stan James and betway to win the title and 11/2 with Paddy Power to complete the Grand Slam. Arguably, they were unlucky not to achieve that last year as their defeat against Wales was controversial to say the least and Stuart Lancaster's men have improved since if you take their sensational victory over the All Blacks in the autumn at face value. Let's not forget New Zealand went into that game at the end of a long tour, however, and most of their squad had been suffering with a virus just days earlier. England won't want to be without Manu Tuilagi for too long and face difficult trips to traditional bogey teams Wales and Ireland so, though they should win all of their matches at Twickenham, may be best backed at Ladbrokes' 8/13 to finish in the top two.
France are starting to emerge from the shambles of Marc Lievremont's tenure on the evidence of autumn victories over Argentina and Australia and will again be hard to resist if everything clicks into place on the field in the Six Nations. The old flair is clearly still there but so are the traditional weaknesses and confidence will probably nosedive again if they fail against England at Twickenham. That said, Philippe Saint-Andre's men could be a worth a small wager to score the most tries in their five games at 15/8 with Blue Square and 888sport, especially if a rejuvenated Frederic Michalak gets on the ball.
Wales completed the Grand Slam last year but they've had major problems since the championship ended and are still in the midst of an injury crisis that threatens to derail their defence. Interim coach Rob Howley will have to rally his troops but after seven straight defeats he must be wondering where to start. Home defeats by Samoa and Argentina in the autumn highlighted how far Wales have fallen in 12 months and they are unlikely to trouble either England, France or Ireland this year.
This Six Nations is likely to be a swansong for several of Ireland's stars, including Brian O'Driscoll, and they'll want to go out on a high. Consistency has been their problem in recent years however, and they also lack a bit of organisation at times. However, it would be no surprise to see them beat either England or France in Dublin, though they could just as easily lose to Wales and Scotland – back the Irish to finish in the top three at 1/2 with Ladbrokes.
As for Scotland and Italy, they will almost certainly again be contesting the wooden spoon. The Scots have won just two Six Nations matches in the last three years and could get an early hiding at Twickenham after yet another dismal autumn campaign. The one saving grace is that they play the Italians at Murrayfield this year so we'll take the Azzurri to finish bottom of the pile again at the general 4/9.

As a mum of two boys that were fed formula, I'm not so sure what to make of his findings. Does it mean that chemicals in baby formula are less harmful? Or is this yet another scare tactic to worry mothers? After all, there are so many other "hidden dangers" of feeding children to worry about -- have you ever tried feeding a baby while having a coughing fit and trying to hold your pelvic floor?

The 11 Best Internet-Only Radio Stations
Should Rice University's pending sale of KTRU to the University of Houston for use as a classical sister station to KUHF go through, Houston would lose one of its oldest sources of independent, over-the-air music programming. Having sat in KTRU's studio many times as a local artist telling the FM dial about a new album, or just jamming out on one of the station's incredibly awesome live in-studio concerts, we just can't believe it's so.
Word is that the studio will continue it's existence as an Internet-only radio station, and honestly, we are pretty comfortable with that. The spotty signal has always made listening in at KTRU.org a more reliable method of sampling the station's wares. So in that spirit Rocks Off presents a selection of our favorite Internet stations, in no particular order.
1. RED BAR RADIO There is no talk radio in Houston that does not send Rocks Off into a homicidal rage, so we're very glad that Mike David's Red Bar Radio is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. David and his various comedian friends take the entirety of the pop-culture world around them, give it, an atomic wedgie, and leave it dangling from the basketball hoop. The site is currently being redone, but will be back up and running very soon. Note: Nothing is sacred. Nothing.
2. PUNK RADIO CAST When Sirius swallowed XM, one of the truly unfortunate casualties was the punk station Fungus. We never really knew how much we missed it until it was gone. Well, Punk Radio Cast is a pretty good substitution. Danny Keyes started the station at the age of 15 in 1999 in his parents' basement, and has steadily built the station into a punk-rock juggernaut that brings the pogo right onto your desktop. Live performances have become a staple of the station, and have hosted luminaries like The Queers, Clit 45. Michael Graves and the Riverboat Gamblers.

3. NIGHTBREED RADIO Rocks Off Sr. gave this assignment to the resident goth, so you better count yourselves lucky that this list includes any radio not based around PVC and eyeliner. Still, we're gonna talk spooky music, and when we talk spooky music we talk Nightbreed Radio. Formerly Radio Nightbreed - we don't know, don't ask - the station is simply the coolest place to hear both the '80s and '90s classics that drew us into the black velvet apocalypse, as well as new underground stuff that is the future of the movement. No matter what your taste in evil is, there's plenty to be found here.
4. RADIO 29-95 We're sorry, but there is no denying that the place to hear Houston music online is over at the pop blog arm of the Houston Chronicle. If the last HPMAs taught us anything, it's that there really is a huge amount of local talent in the Houston music scene, and some absolutely incredible work being put out. Plus, the site hosts a nice pop-out player that lets you navigate right back here to read Rocks Off while still enjoying the music. Of course, at the moment we're stuck in an 11-minute jazz-fusion song, so maybe the playlist could use a little tweaking.
5. CHRONIX RADIO ChroniX Radio is actually three stations in one, just in case you get tired of hard rock and need something more firmly metal. Regardless, what is going on at the site is the best in music to use in a fight scene. Having a young daughter, Rocks Off hears an awful lot of songs about caring and sharing, and these are admirable qualities to learn about in song form, but by the time we hit the desk in the morning the only thing we want to hear is the sound of drums, bass, guitars and vocal chords being abused like they were in a Lifetime movie. Thank you ChroniX, for a the legally prescribed amount of our daily AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
6. YOUTUBE We sense some of you's getting ready to call bullshit, but just give us a second, OK? A fairly typical day driving to work in Houston involves us turning off the radio in disgust. We did so this morning, and right as we pulled into a parking space we realized we hadn't heard Nick Cave's "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow" in a while. So we sat down and cued up the video on YouTube.
The video reminded us of Tori Amos's "Raspberry Swirl" so we searched and played it next. If you're gonna play Tori, you've got to play "Hey Jupiter," which put us in a sad-bastard piano music kind of mood, so we next up was Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World." YouTube has become one of the foremost music players, with audio and visual available for almost anything available right at your fingertips in any order you please. That's why it makes the list, though it's not really internet radio.Next Page

Last weekend I took a stroll through Ducky Waddles, that cool little art nook in Leucadia on Coast Highway near Lou's Records. There, I found a million inexpensive pieces for sale, walking away with only one, a unique vase by a local artist that covered the smudge on my wall and the minor ding I had incurred in my marriage through my weekend selfishness.
With our first North Swell in full swing and offshore winds blowing the waves clean, the drive proved a nice post-surf diversion, cruising the highway to view the fruits our community has to offer, including art meant for public consumption.
As you enter Encinitas there is a retiring Native American. Not sure how he would react to that idea that his tribe has been relocated inland, the game killed off, the creeks dammed, and the oaks, for which our city is named, nearly gone. A
worthy piece, nonetheless. Compliments to the artist.
The Encinitas sign that spans Coast Highway 101 is also a welcoming site. The iron pieces subtly placed into the sidewalks, surrounding trees, are a nice touch. Then, as if to signal a coming tidal wave, we hit a stucco wall shouting that we have arrived in a less subtle and far more frantic place and time. I suppose these new structures mean downtown will be divided into "new" and "old" Encinitas. Don't need a show of hands to see which one most coast dwellers favor.
No big surprises until Swami's, where a surfer is pictured squatting in the park, going left, (Swami's is predominantly a right) on a stone pedestal, along with a sign announcing that a place once known as Noonan's Point then Sea Cliff Park, immortalized in Surfin' USA by Beach Boy's singing "At Hagarty's and Swami's," is now officially called Swami's.
Something's different here. The park looks more open than it once did as one of the oldest pines has been humbled to stump size, after an apparent beetle infestation. While I have yet to confirm this, rumor is that the stump is going to be carved into an Easter Island sort of statue, something that can never be called a kook. If so, I hope the statue will look west, toward the sea, as its famed island siblings do, rather than east, toward traffic.
My random and quick poll, accurate to within 97 percentage points, indicated that most would rather have another tree. OK, that's not happening, so I'm assuming we're getting Easter Island instead. I imagine the city will hire someone who knows his or her way around a block of wood. OK, the carving is done and it looks good. No prizes for guessing what happens to a ground-level statue in a place where surfers walk each day. (Please don't insult nature by erecting a Big Brother spy cam on one of the remaining trees.)
That now lifeless stump, which seems about a foot closer to Cardiff than Encinitas, could soon find itself wearing the hand-me-downs of its humiliated brother to the south. San Diego in general hasn't exactly welcomed public art in the past, especially when it involves the beach and its icons: Windansea locals demolished Hot Curl, Carlsbad freed itself from the Bars, Scripps Clinic La Jolla flushed "Plop," the million dollar turd. So now the Swami's stump waits to see if it will become something greater than the trunk of a tree, or another outlet for artists and decorators who strike at night. Like that now never-to-bud piece of wood, like all of you, I will wonder wait and hope for the best.

It's a gorgeous day in north Oxfordshire, England; the sun dapples my back garden lawn through the honey scents and warm buzzing bees covering an arched Ceanothus in full blue bloom on the way to my shop.
Today is a great day…all is right with the world…
Backsaws- this is what you need to know!
Last week I received some samples of the new line of Back Saws from Bad Axe Tool Works in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Mark sent me two of his new 14″ Sash saws, two of the new 12″ carcase saws as well as 'The Beast master' – his new and even larger 18″ rip saw that comes with a thicker saw plate (at .0315) and has a full 5″ under the back.
Bad Axe Bench Hooks
This week I received a couple of parcels all the way from La Crosse, Wisconsin- yup, a few new products from Bad Axe Tool Works. I'm still 'test driving' the really cool items and will fill you in on all the details next week but for now I thought I'd let you see the new […]

After years of evaluation and going through the many steps of the introduction process, muskies were stocked for the first time in the Sauk River Chain of Lakes on Oct. 26.
Joe Stewig, DNR fish specialist, delivered and stocked 515 muskies into Horseshoe Lake and 515 muskies into Cedar Island Lake. The 12 inch fingerlings were hatched in April at the DNR state fish hatchery in New London.
Robby Pollreis, St. Anna, and Aaron Meyer, Sauk Rapids, assisted in the stocking of both lakes. Both are fishing guides and are on the Minnesota State DNR Esocid Board, responsible for managing the stocking and regulations for muskie and northern pike.
The Horseshoe Chain is now set-up for an every other year stocking program. The long range goal is to achieve a sustainable population over 33 inches at a density of 0.25 fish per acre. This stocking does not prohibit or change darkhouse spearing as
other musky lakes. These new musky waters will provide a fishing opportunity for anglers in the Richmond and Cold Spring area. Many anglers for generations will be able to experience the thrill of catching a large musky.

Re: A Question on the Message#11590 by Rev.John Kunjukunju
Expand Messages
- Dear Pathhikan,
The 'foreign yoke' that Rev. Kunjukunju mentioned must be about Jesus Christ or Saint Thomas. Ofcourse it is heart-breaking for an Indian Orthodox to see a foreigner like Jesus or Saint Thomas at the
leader's role when the real saviour for them is Saint (?!) Vattassery. Also the 'foreign yoke' expression can be about the recent uncanonical ordination of a foreigner violating the 'Holy 1934 Constitution' of IOC.
Don't worry about his usage of 'Holy Church' and 'Mother Church.' They can't make the Kottayam based dissident IOC the Mother Church. Let us consider it just as an ornamental usage like the 'Throne of Saint Thomas.'
The Holy Syrian Orthodox Church is currently able to get cured from
the affliction of any kind of plagues. Remember we threw out three
plagues years back and now the IOC is afflicted with those plagues.
And recently we also threw out a German plague. So there is no point
to worry about the Holy Mother Church.
Let me wish you and my fellow Holy Mother Church members a plague-
free HAPPY NEW YEAR.

.222 Mini 14 Ranch Rifle
I love my Mini 14! My trusty ranch rifle was the first firearm I purchased. I remember I bought it used for 500 dollers at the gun store right after I turned 18...I know I bought it used but I swear this rifle never had a shot fired out of it. It was still in the box and still had the packing grease or whatever it is on it. Maybe it was just the owner cutting a guy a break! However my Mini 14 is NOT a 5.56 it is a .222 Remington. Does anybody have any exp with these? Are they worth less or more? I am not looking to sell becuase well I have had this firearm for a number of years and it is by far one of my favorites. Also if I sold this to anyone my father would surely disown me as his son...(It is his favorite too) Thanks Everybody!
I'm afraid your .222 model is not worth as much, as Ruger no longer supports that model. But, you never know, it might carry some collector value someday since it is chambered differently.
Yep, hang on to it. The .222 is a great round and it's starting to get a bit hard to find a Mini chambered in that caliber. ;) I'd like to have one, just to have. :cool:
The main reason the Mini was chambered in .222, was for export. Some countries don't allow their civilians to own firearms chambered in a military round such as the 5.56. Hence the .222 chambering in the Mini-14...
Thanks everyone for the information! I really enjoy the .222 chambering on this rifle, the only thing is the price of the ammo! Oh well guess it is time for me to start reloading.

The Stock Is Not the Product
I like to eat at Panera Bread (PNRA). I find myself there at least once a week, munching on a sandwich or a salad. I like the concept of healthy fast food, and apparently many others do too.
However, for many people, healthy fast food is a luxury, not a necessity. If consumers are feeling pinched, there are many cheaper alternatives. Panera's year-over-year same-store sales were flattish during the first quarter, showing a gain of just 0.1%....354 more words left in this article.

text: The maverick 88 comes with a Cylinder Bore fixed choke. Does the fixed choke mean it can't be changed? I am buying it primarily for home defense but do make it out a few times a year squirel hunting. I do have a .22 that I use but if I could I would like to have an option of a shotgun. What would you suggest with a 12 gauge cylinder bore for squirels or should I just stick to my .22.

Your letters: Our side of the 'dog fight'
I would like to clear a few things up on the so-called Pet Expo dog fight. I was there. I helped separate the two dogs, not to mention I am extremely knowledgeable about medical service dogs. I also was the chair person that put together the Pet Expo, and everyone that was there and participated really had fun and enjoyed it. We got a lot of positive feed back for the next one.
First of all it was not a dogfight. It was a minor dog bite; if Lola wasn't a pit bull this wouldn't have been mentioned or talked about at all. Lola didn't even puncture Cheyenne with all four of her canines, she just punctured with her top two and they were very minor punctures. Cheyenne was sniffing and yapping at Lola. Lola got tired of it and just stopped her, not wanting to let go because she didn't want Cheyenne to start again. The clamping of the jaws made it hard to have Lola release her, but Carolyn and I were there instantly and knew what to do. It was more of the adults' than the dogs' fault. They were visiting and paid no attention to the dogs on the end of the leashes, especially when one dog is harassing another dog. There is no dog of any breed that will put up with harassing for very long. The kids that were around happen to be very knowledgeable about dogs and what happens when you don't pay attention to them on the end of your leash. They have been around dogs all their life and witnessed the harassment of one dog to the other and having to separate them. Thus, this was not a fight -- Lola just stopped the dog from harassing. The whole time Lola was there she was on her very best behavior. I have worked with Lola at dog training and she was an extremely well-behaved dog and wasn't bothered by the numerous dogs, kids and adults there.
Patty Jones' signed document for her so-called service dog, is not for being a medical service dog. I have the same papers as she does. I happen to live in a similar housing. The doctor's note was written so that she could have a companion dog in a no-pet-allowed apartment complex. I have the same for my dogs. She has done no training for a medical service dog. I have done a lot of research and training to have a medical service dog. I know what you have to do to have one and what you need to have to use one in public. Patty has done none of this.
Patty brought her papers to the board meeting of the Humane Society to prove she had a service dog. I looked over her paper work and informed her what her paper work was. It was her doctor's note saying it would be good for her to have a companion dog in her apartment and D.W. Jones giving permission for her to have a pet in one of their no-pet-allowed apartment complexes, not stating it is a medical service dog.
No doctor can state that they have no legal knowledge of what is required. Patty also informed us she didn't take that apartment. That in itself makes her papers invalid for use in any situation. The use was for that particular apartment complex only. If she wants Cheyenne to be a medical service dog she has a lot of home work and classes to take and tests to take.
It is a shame that a very well behaved Lola has to now have a bad rap not only because she is a pit bull but now that the papers, TV media and unknowledgeable people have blown this small dog bite out of control. If it is decided she has to be put down, it will be on the hands of those with the lack of knowledge about what happened and the kind of dog Lola was. She is a very friendly and sweet dog. I have missed working with her the last 10 days.
I hope those out there that didn't consider both sides of the story, not to mention looking at it from Lola's point of view, can live with the decision. I know I can't because if I was Lola and no one was attending to the harassing dog that was all over me and in my face I would have done the same thing -- taken care of the situation until humans stepped in. This was a human mistake on both humans, but if I had a dog that was harassing another dog I would have corrected it or removed it. When you have your dog in the public, you have to be more attentive to your dog, not visiting or whatever you are up to. If you are doing something else, you have to keep your attention on your dog on the end of leash at the same time. It's called multi-tasking. If you can't do that, it is best to leave your loved dog at home.
Dogs are our responsibility. I hope the humans out there take that into consideration before they make that automatic decision about pit bulls and Lola. Not all pit bulls are killers, just those that the humans have bred and trained to do that. Lola has never been treated in that way. She is a dog just like any other dog in the shelter, our homes, playing with everyone and other dogs. She is a dog first.
The Humane Society is a non-profit organization and everything goes through a board. We did not ignore Patty and her vet bill, we had the right to investigate the situation before making any decision. That is what we did and are doing. We never made light of the situation, but of course it is good listening and reading that a fierce pit bull was out on the attack. Which is so far out in left field. The Humane Society wants to do what is best for the whole situation -- Lola, Patty and Cheyenne. There is nothing wrong in doing that in this situation.
I hope with all my heart that Lola is allowed to go to a forever home, because she has great potential, not to mention a very sweet dog and should be able to have a happy life. I don't personally feel she did anything wrong. I hope there are others out there that feel the same way. This is what the Humane Society is about -- finding forever homes for these not wanted or "can't keep any longer" dogs and cats.

Vice president of Humane Society

Ratings for Dr. Calvon Voong
Has been the best help ever for my back pain, knows what he isd doing
Please please dont go to this doctor please find a different doctor he don't cake for you in your pain he's a thief he's not a real Dr he will kill you if you go if you see him check your prescription he gives alot of placebos for pain I imbingyou don't go to him he will kill you he's S bad bad Dr won't go please
I am a senior, disabled, terminal patient. I have never been treat with such disgust, and a vile attitude, in my life. If you even think about going to his office, run for the hills. He's not afraid to raise his voice, and throw insults that your worst enemy would. It's extremely difficult for me to get through any day, but I will NEVER enter his office, AGAIN!!! He's currently under examination with the California Medical Board. I would be more than happy to be a witness to the closure of his office.
This doctor is one of the worst I've ever been to. If I didn't leave when I did, I would have died. Never ran tests, blood work, nothing. He's extremely rude, and cold. Please save yourself and go somewhere else, or go to him and see for yourself. Good luck.
Dr. Voong makes assumptions about the experience of others(pain level ) which he cannot possibly know with the amount of time he spends assessing his patients or talking to them, and in doing so allows people to suffer as the consequence of negligence .
The staff is wonderful but Dr. is patronizing and rude, always in a hurry. I have multiple chronic pain conditions and would love to have a doctor I could actually discuss treatment with but with him I'm afraid to be honest and it's impossible to have a conversation. I hate coming here but it's the only place my insurance has in network.
This doctor was extremely cold and dismissive. I had to repeat myself several times due to him ignoring me. He has a holier than thou selfish attitude. I can say nothing positive about him
I would never recommend this "MD" to anyone who is in pain. He has terrible bed side manner. He doesn't listen to you or care about how you're feeling. I have broke my neck and back and everyone bone on the right side of my body and he told me there was no way I was in pain! I feel bad for anyone who makes the mistake of wasting money or time because he is not worth it. He is inconsiderate and acts as if your pain is not real. Completely useless and a terrible excuse for a DR. His staff is also very rude
Doctor told me I need a new job and should be off pain medicine although no change in my pain or situation.

I feel like I have used just about every drugstore foundation and I always had a problem with my eyeliner migrating down my face by 3pm. I tried Urban Decay primer potion, and waterproof liner, and nothing could keep my eyes perfect through the end of the work day, until this. The dry down of this foundation is perfectly ...read morematte, and it stays where you put it. I'm pretty sure that what was happening with the drugstore foundations is that they weren't staying entirely in place, and eventually the cheaper moisturizers in them would make contact with my liner, and whole thing would become a mess. I'd also like to clarify that I don't have oily skin, I have particularly dry skin. With the drugstore foundation I would attempt to get longevity, by setting with a powder, but not only was it an extra step, it looked worse because the powder would settle in my fine lines (I'm 27). I don't feel like the Mac settles into my little lines, in fact I feel like the coverage is so beautiful that it makes me look a little younger. At Mac they will try to sell you primer and a powder, but I've found that I don't need anything else to get the foundation to last all day; I put it directly on top of my morning moisturizer and it's on till I take it off! I feel that the coverage is at a perfect level; it evens out my skin tone, covers blemishes, and you COULD build it under your eyes to erase all trace dark circles, but I'm impatient and find it quicker to put a tiny dab of Mac concealer over my circles, on top of the foundation. One last thing, don't be discouraged if you end up with the wrong color the first time, I ended up with a bottle that was one shade too orange for me. I took it back and they replaced it with a better color for me- the best extra effort for make-up I have ever spent. — 3 years, 9 months agoElphieGranger | 80 reviews

HEAVY!The coverage of this product really doesn't do it for me. I have some mild acne scarring on my face that this foundation couldn't even cover and yet, it managed to feel very heavy on me. It almost felt like I was wearing a mask because I had to layer on quite a bit. So considering the yucky feeling of wearing it coupled with poor coverage, it is definitely not worth the price in my book. Even if i...read moret had been perfect coverage, I don't think I could have dealt with the texture of this foundation. The best i can compare it to is stage make-up. Since this is a department store brand, if you are curious about trying this foundation then I recommend testing it before purchasing to see how it reacts with your skin. — 6 years, 4 months agorunee89 | 299 reviews

MAC does it again :)I am skeptical about liquid foundations because I have oily skin so I thought they would only make it worse. I was using a drugstore brand for a while, mostly because it was cheap and it got the job done (daytime- for work) and if I needed heavier coverage I would use the MAC Studio Fix Powder. So one day while visiting my boyfriend- I completely forgot all of my make up. So we went to the Mall an...read mored I purchased this product. The sales person matched me almost too perfectly and did my entire face. It was like second skin. She applied a thin layer and it was like I wasn't wearing make up at all. I still had some scars from acne which were not as visible (and I could just cover with concealer), but I remember that the told me that it was build-able make up. I use it everyday now, am I'm still in love. It evens out my skin so much that I don't know why I waited so long. The only negative thing about this is that you have to purchase the pump separately. — 5 years, 6 months agomsbrown822 | 229 reviews

So sad...I decided to give MAC's foundation another try and yet again, I feel like for the money, it wasn't worth it. This foundation, to me, is comparable to Revlon's Color Stay. The girl at the counter gave me a color and made me look sallow or yellow. I took it back and decided to stick with Revlon until I can find something better. — 9 years, 1 month agoSwoldierGirl72 | 342 reviews

Airbush BottledWhile I'm nagging my best friend in the whole about my own personal issues, having dinner with the family, working the club dancefloor, or striding along the mall floors, my makeup stays put. Studio Fix fluid has been a foundation that makes me a glamorous vixen converted from an ordinary girl next door.

Many people tend to forget that patting some powder on top of foundation is like baking cake, without the dough, you just have raw soup. This can be sheer to opaque in coverage so it can used everyday to just that one night with that one cute guy that you were making your cousin talk to at the wedding reception. One of the benefits is that it is oil free. For 1 oz. you can stretch this anywhere from two to seven months depending on how much coverage needed or usage. For $25.00, I consider this a mid range high end cosmetic that had delivered me better results than even more expensive brands. But let's talk about the cons, shall we? This doesn't photograph completely well, it does brighten the areas where it's applied so a white flash from a camera can result in a shade or two lighter than what you see in a mirror or regular daylight. The trick to counter this is applying a light dusting of bronzer to the outter areas of the face such as a quick dust on the forehead, temples, cheek hollows, and jawline. Be careful not to apply so much that it looks unnatural, just a couple light strokes will do. Next con, no pump. It's more sanitary to have a pump for a foundation so there are no messes spilled from the bottle nor is air exchanging bacteria inside and outside the bottle. A pump can be purchased, however, separately for this. — 9 years, 4 months agoVLA | 336 reviews

Pretty goodI already own studio sculpt which is wonderful and dewy perfect for winter, so I had to try out studio fix as a potential for spring/summer .I received a generous sample of this and tried it in several situations from going outside, shopping, at work/class, and last night I went out.

I don't know if it will have that glowing white cast in photos. It's on my list to find out. I'm half Asian half Caucasian and I always have a problem finding my shade but MAC is spot on(NC40) This is completely matte and full coverage. I'm not a matte person but this is an exception for I like the shade and coverage. I spritz my face with rosewater to get rid of the super matte look,although, its till pretty matte. Its not the best for dry skin. It brought out my dry spots and dried me out even further. I had to dab some lotion over my face. Be sure to moisturize thoroughly. A little goes a long way and I was also told this mixed with moisturizer can tone down the coverage. This is why I prefer full coverage, less product. It does not come with a pump....seriously MAC? not very fair. Anyways, I'm not a sensitive skin lady/acne prone but until yet, I have not had any bad reactions other than it drying out my skin. So it's not cheap, but it's not the most expensive foundation like compared to my shiseido one. I almost love this foundation, its a very good foundation overall. — 3 years, 1 month agohappylittlemess | 71 reviews

Nice CoverageI like this foundation a lot, it goes on nicely and provides a great amount of buildable coverage. I have sensitive skin prone to breakouts and did not find that it irritated my skin. I'm a Light-Medium NW18 and I found that the color settled in nicely on my skin. After four hours of chasing a toddler, cooking and cleaning my face isn't greasy and shiny.

EhhMy Skin tone: Pale with pink undertones, Skin type: Oily/combo, acne prone. I decided to try this foundation despite what i had heard about it the smell, people breaking out etc. as everyone's skin is different.

I got colour matched by a really nice sales assistant and i...read more was NW10. I made sure that i could return it if i'd opened it and had a skin reaction, luckily i could. When i applied it the next day the first thing that hit me was the smell! It is strong and not very pleasant, i don't understand why it smells, as so many other foundations don't! The colour was good and i liked the texture, coverage and matte finish. It also was build-able. It lasted pretty well throughout the day and still looked ok at the end of the day (fyi i have to blot my skin throughout the day as i get very oily). But after a few days i started to notice new spots and also spots that had started to dry out, came back again. I was annoyed and upset because i had finally found a good colour and i liked how my skin looked when wearing it! But i decided to return it as i don't want to add more spots to the ones I've already got lol! Something else i didn't like was that they don't sell it with the pump, you have to buy that as well! Its ridiculous! Anything to make money! Overall i liked the foundation but i would not buy it again as it broke me out! — 4 years, 2 months agomelissuhh | 52 reviews

We report a novel forward-imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT), needle-probe paired-angle-rotation scanning OCT (PARS-OCT) probe. The probe uses two rotating angled gradient-index lenses to scan the output OCT probe beam over a wide angular arc ( half-angle) of the region forward of the probe. Among other advantages, this probe design is readily amenable to miniaturization and is capable of a variety of scan modes, including volumetric scans. To demonstrate the advantages of the probe design, we have constructed a prototype probe with an outer diameter of and employed it to acquire four OCT images, with a 45° angle between adjacent images, of the gill structure of a Xenopus laevis tadpole. The system sensitivity was measured to be by using the prototype probe with an illumination power of on the sample. Moreover, the axial and the lateral resolutions of the probe are 9.3 and , respectively.

I only have good to say. But I do have one problem. Being on a fixed income it's hard to save the money to get what I want. Plus it is hard to find the 5" hex & 6" hearts & 5" stars. I love making my own designs on them for coasters. Even harder time trying to find people to buy my crafts.

 Do you remember struggling with math when you were in school? Most parents today can look back on their k-12 days and remember feeling like their math homework was impossible, that the only kids who would get the right answers were the ones who had some super special math ability that they had been born with. Math was hard, and the higher advanced math courses were reserved for those few rare students that had a natural math talent. We thought they were the only ones who even had a chance at understanding trigonometry, advanced algebra, and calculus.

Research in the most recent decades has painted an entirely different picture.

Math problems often are challenging. What brain and educational research has discovered is that it isn't the brain we are born with that determines whether or not we have the ability to learn how to solve these problems. It is our perseverance in learning how to problem solve that is the main determining factor of whether we will ever be able to solve that problem.

In What Way Is Persistence Connected To Math?

You already know that math can be challenging. Learning how to solve math problems can take a lot of work- it isn't something you always get on the first try. Some problems or concepts can only be learned by trying again and again. You may have grown up believing that you would never be able to complete a challenging math class if you were someone who couldn't master the material the first time you saw it. Instead, it is by continuing to try to solve the problems until you master the material.

It is like learning to play a musical instrument. At first, you have trouble playing the instrument at all, yet with practice you learn how to play basic songs and eventually more challenging ones.

This trait is commonly known as persistence or perseverance. By now you might be wondering if the ability to learn advanced math often hinges on perseverance if you should just make sure your child spends a lot of time working on math until the "get it."

Developing this type of perseverance is a little more complicated than that.  "Growth mindset" is the term that researcher Dr. Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics at Stanford University, coined to describe the perseverance that students need that allows them to learn advanced math.  Dr. Boaler has authored several books and research articles that show how a growth mindset leads people to be able to learn difficult material that once was believed could only be learned by natural born geniuses.

How Is Growth Mindset More Than Just Persistence?

Boaler's growth mindset is a specific way of viewing challenges that fosters and leads to persistence. Persistence and the ability to persevere in solving difficult problems are the results of having a growth mindset. While you may be thinking this is just a matter of semantics, it is a useful one.

A growth mindset differs from fixed mindset in that the growth mindset centers around believing that the brain can grow and change.  Dr. Boaler's research demonstrated that the brain continues to learn and change much faster than scientists had previously thought. Boaler even found that almost every child is able to learn advanced math concepts if they have opportunities to learn and a growth mindset.  This includes students with severe learning disabilities, who were found to be able to learn much more than scientists had previously thought.

Having a growth mindset means that teachers and students alike believe that it is possible for almost anyone to learn even the most difficult material with good teaching and sustained effort. Someone with a fixed mindset believes that this change isn't really possible, that they are stuck with the level of intelligence given to them at birth.

Is a Growth Mindset Really All It Takes To Succeed?

Having the knowledge that intelligence is developed through hard work and study is a critical piece of learning, but it isn't the only thing needed. Critics of growth mindset point out that it is not a panacea.  Children still need to have effective teachers, solid curricula, rigorous standards and more to be able to learn advanced math. Effort and belief that intelligence comes from hard work are what lead a student to know they can do that hard work of learning when the material is presented.

What Can I Do To Develop My Child's Growth Mindset

Develop a growth mindset yourself. Read stories of people who worked hard to overcome significant odds and also intelligence. Some classic examples are Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Steve Jobs. Each of these people had been told during their early life that they lacked intelligence, yet they all became leaders and pioneers through hard work.

Totally nix out any idea that someone cannot learn something because of a natural trait. I am sure you would never tell your daughter that "girls just aren't good at math." But watch for subtle versions of that same fixed idea. Your own beliefs and what you say are a strong influence on your child's attitudes and beliefs - even your teenagers are still strongly influenced by your parental ideas!

Teach your child to view mistakes as learning opportunities. Let your child know that mistakes are part of the learning process.

 When they do make a mistake, ask them what they would do differently next time.

Praise their efforts and actions, rather than defining or labeling your child. Every child has good and bad moments. Giving praise action and effort encourages them to continue trying, rather than just believing they are already smart or good.

Encourage your child to solve problems on their own. It can be tempting to step in and take over when your child is struggling. Instead, acknowledge your child's frustration and ask them if they have any other ideas on how they can solve their problem.

While educators are focusing on developing a growth mindset in math, it is an attitude that can help in all parts of life. People who have the most effective growth mindsets view all aspects of learning and intelligence as the product of hard work over time.  It is not just about math or science.

Catawba Students Heard in Raleigh
April 7, 2011
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
On Monday, April 4, students from Dr. Bitzer's State and Local Politics class headed to the state capitol to meet with local legislators who represent Rowan County. Along with Dr. Bitzer, the students left campus early Monday morning and drove until they reached the Legislative Building in Raleigh.
When they first arrived, the students met with State Senator Andrew Brock and discussed current issues. They also had a chance to ask questions about policy papers that are to be written in class. Issues such as the correctional department, redistricting, the state budget and personal/political beliefs were brought up. After having lunch with the Senator, and meeting several others while in the Legislative Cafeteria, the students took a tour of the legislative building. The tour included both the Senate Chamber, as well as the House Chamber. While in the Senate Chamber, Representative Fred Steen, representing the southern part of the county, took over and answered more questions. Then the students had a chance to meet with Representative Harry Warren, the "freshman" representative from Rowan County, representing Salisbury. He talked a little bit about his experiences as a new man in the legislature.
Catawba graduate Kevin Leonard, Class of 1995, met the students shortly after that. Leonard is a leader in the North Carolina County Commissioners Association. He is a major lobbyist on North Carolina's version of Capitol Hill.
After spending a majority of the morning and afternoon meeting with representatives, the students and Dr. Bitzer toured the old capitol building.
State and Local Politics is a class that explores, in great detail, both state and local governments and how they communicate and work with the federal level of government. This trip to Raleigh was used as a way to connect the class to the real world.

When gets to Ashley's apartment however, he finds a dead man in the bathtub. The dead man is Jose Coto who has several drug-related convictions. The autopsy reveals that Coto probably died from a fall in the tub though there is evidence he had been struck with a baseball bat at some point. Brenda is convinced that the women picked up her two stalwart detectives to cover up something but Flynn and Provenza's egos won't let them think that their conquests were based on anything but charm and good looks.

Conference Scorecard: Big Ten catching up
Didn't intend to update this twice in one day, but Friday's bowls have significantly changed how the BCS conferences are faring in their final games of the season.
Two big wins from the Big Ten -- Ohio State beating Oregon and Penn State beating LSU -- give the league three bowl victories against top-15 teams. Add in Wisconsin's win against Miami, and the Big Ten has taken down three of the four highest ranked teams to lose in bowls. How much does that make up for having a 5-9 regular-season record against BCS opponents? A lot in the public perception.
The Big East, which opened 2-0 in bowls, took two big losses Friday, with West Virginia outplayed by FSU in Bobby Bowden's last game and Cincinnati getting dominated by Florida.
And except for the Pac-10, which is now 2-5 in bowl games after Oregon's loss, every other BCS league is within a game of .500 in bowl play. The Big 12, which has seen Nebraska and Oklahoma beat ranked teams, is 3-2 with three teams left, and the SEC, which has four teams still playing, is 3-3. So is the ACC, which has just Georgia Tech left, and the Big East is 2-2, with USF and Connecticut playing Saturday.
The Mountain West, 4-0 in bowls, is probably the big winner if TCU can beat Boise State in a battle of unbeatens left outside the national title game.
So your overall bowl records: MWC 4-0, Big Ten and Big 12 3-2, SEC and ACC 3-3, Big East 2-2, Pac-10 2-5; Sun Belt 1-0, C-USA 2-3, WAC 1-2, MAC 0-3, independent Navy 1-0.

On Wednesday afternoon, an arbitrator awarded Shea Weber a $7.5 million, one-year contract. That cap hit -- calculated as the player's average yearly salary -- is $1 million more than that of any other restricted free agent in the league and the highest of any NHL blueliner.
Putting that in context, essentially, the judge is telling the world that Weber is the single best defenseman in the league. That of course begs the question: Is he? The short answer: He's worth every penny.
