Taurus 85 or 605?
I asked this question on another forum with good intentions. The only responses to my post were bashes to the company. This post is intended to draw discussion instead of hatred. I am looking for anyone who has experienced one or both of these.
My wife and I went to a larger GS today... WOW!!! They had more makes and models of handguns and long guns than any LGS around us. I was able to hold a Taurus 85 Polymer revolver. I'm a little skeptical about polymer through the years of ownership and if it will hold up to the years of shooting compared to a stainless model. I love the way it feels in my hands, the weight, and the grip was a delight. I am also considering a 605 DT .357 revolver.
Does anyone have one or both of these, and would you offer your thoughts and opinions, and offer you thoughts on the polymer vs the stainless. I have read nothing but negative opinions on the brand. The gentleman who waited on us told us that Taurus has great CS, and they have a lifetime warranty. I am now seriously considering either the 85 or 605 as my CCW. The 85 has a 2.50 inch barrel opposed to a 2.0 inch on the 605. I understand there will be some recoil on a sort barrel firearm.
This is a legtimate question because I am considering one. Those with experience on either please post your thoughts.
My first purchased handgun was a 605. I really liked it. Probably close to 1000 rounds with no issues what so ever. It sucks to shoot 357 out of but that didn't stop me. I eventually traded it for a Taurus 669. 6 inch 357. I really don't miss the 605 a whole lot but it was an excellent weapon IMHO
I bought the wife a Taurus 85 ultralight (gold trim & pearl grips took a bit of a riding when I picked it up at LGS) and she loves it! I tried to get her to switch to a Ruger LCP but she always reverts back to the 85.
I shot it this weekend with some +p stuff and I have to say its a nice little piece just not my choice.
I have had 4 Taurus firearms. 2 were good and 2 were bad. The little 85 Titanium with a ported barrel was one of the good ones. I really liked the little revolver until I shot it on a darkened range. I was the only one there so I turned off most of the lights. The ported barrel with +P ammo left me blind for a few seconds. That is the only reason I sold it. It was a decent shooter and did not give me any trouble. I have since shot another snub on a darkened range and was not blinded. There was flash but not out of the top of the barrel. The ported barrel was also very loud.
During my time on the forums I have come to the conclusion that Taurus as a whole was not a good company with gun issues and CS. However, their products and CS are doing better but still have a way to go. I am seriously giving some thought about purchasing a 605 at some point. I would like to see some reviews before making a decision. Please keep the post going.
Thank you for your posts and your honesty. This was what I was looking for on the other forum.
The Internet, and especially forums, are full of frantic squeaky wheeling. Don't let the over exaggeration deter ya, Taurus is a fine brand. People are just complainers and those happy with a product don't make big deals about it.
This country and modern society has a huge problem with entitlement and expectation. We demand more quality than can reasonably be expected and when we get it we aren't happy about it, we're just entitled to it and consider it due. But when we don't get it, we rant and rave like tantrum throwing tots and this becomes the word of mouth reputation.
Never believe anything you don't see for yourself. I heard about Jimenez and Phoenix and Raven, bought 3 Jimmys &one of each the other and of the lot only one wasn't perfect. With a little work I got it going fine and have been pleased since. I've shot and handled the Taurus handguns and not a one had a single issue and the owners of them claimed their rugged flawlessness. You want real advice, don't ask on online forms or any LGS. They're either uninformed, purposefully misinforming to suit their own snobbery or sales, or relaying someone else's misinformation.
That goes for my own post as well. Lol
Ps, polymer vs steel, I prefer steel, but believe polymer to be fine. Thus far it's proven itself to stand to abuse and keep on pumping shot after shot. Just look at Glock.
BTB & JTJ... Thank you so much for your post. It is refreshing to see a forum exist where discussions can be had without someone bashing the product of discussion. In the short time I've been on this forum, I have concluded you to be very genuine, someone who doesn't beat around the bush or sugar coat, you tell it like it is love it or hate it. You, sirs are a true credit to this forum. This is the reason I have decided that this forum is now home for me. I am honored to be in the presence of great people.

Listed are indexes and databases designed to help users research Washington death notices.
Washington obituaries are a good way to locate information and fill in gaps in your genealogy records or other types of family history research and documentation. You can search online for this type of data, or you can do it in person. Usually, people have the greatest amount of success with using a combination of the two.
Generally, when conducting this type of search, it is a good idea to have the county the death where may have occurred. Washington is one state that has a fairly extensive statewide database, though. The only negative is that the statewide databases that can be accessed online only seem to go back to about 1891. This one does require a fee. There are two others that are free, but only date back to 1907. There are, of course, indexes broken down by county, but in the Wenatchee area the earliest date is 1880 and this seems to be the earliest date for records in the state.
You can also use the online method to get information for in person searches. If you want, for example, to try searching through libraries, you should get the addresses and contact information. You could also obtain the names of people who may be able to help you and consider emailing any individuals ahead of time. Opening the lines of communication before showing up can establish rapport and possibly get you data you need before you even arrive.
Libraries are usually the best way to find obituaries and similar documentation. If you can gain access to newspapers and microfilm, you can locate old obituaries. The main thing you will need to do is try to locate the county you need to travel to in order to find the records you need. Then, contact the library ahead of time to find out how they keep their records. Some areas house all of that type of data in the main library, while others split it up between different branches. If the data is divided throughout the county, see if you can find out which one may have the info you need. This will help you save time and effort.
If you cannot travel to a certain county, or do not live in Washington, you can still try to gain access to Washington obituaries other ways. First, see if the library has any staff members or volunteers that can help locate and ship data to you. If not, check to see if Washington has genealogist group volunteers. These are people who generally volunteer to do just this type of thing. Either way, try to provide others with as much information as possible to make it easier for them to locate what you need. Washington obituaries can be very helpful to your genealogy records.
There are few places on the map as beautiful as Washington State. Not only is this one of the most ideal climates to live it, it is also one of the most technologically savvy spots on the map. If you are looking for Washington obituaries online, there are several main repositories you can look to. First, check out the Clallam County Genealogical Society for information on obits published in local newspapers that date all the way back to 1891.
This is considered one of the most complete archives in the state. Similarly, the Jefferson County Genealogical Society has a site that contains clippings from 1889 all the way up to 2005. Some of the local newspapers in this state maintain their own listings, including the Kitsap County Auditor. This newspaper serves the entire county and has listings from 1997 onwards.
The website for the Tacoma Public Library is a massive resource that you will have to check out. There are listings that go as far back as the 1930s that have been published in the Tacoma Tribune. Finding Washington obituary records online is easier than you think thanks to these amazing online resources.
Listed are indexes and databases designed to help users research Washington death notices.
By visiting the Tacoma Public Library site online, you'll be able to both learn about and enter a search into the obituaries index. Washington death notices are arranged there so that you can find out whether the clipping is available to be copied for you. If you locate the one you want, a request can then be made by mail for a photocopy.
Below is a list of Washington newspaper obituaries to aid in genealogical research.
When searching for obituaries, sometimes a name is simply not enough information. Maiden names or extremely common ones can sometimes make it hard to find the person you are looking for. Newspapers like the Columbia Basin Herald in Washington include not only the person's name and age, but also a few sentences from their death notice. In many cases, there is actually a small photo included.
Unlike most newspapers, the Daily World of Washington state makes the important distinction between death notices and paid obituaries, but for anyone doing genealogical research or otherwise needing a lot of information about the deceased, the difference is as stark as night and day. After all, obituaries are usually far more detailed than death notices, which simply lists facts such as memorial service information.
Too often smaller towns have poorly organized obituary sections which, while only listing a few individuals in a given day, make it almost impossible to search for exactly what you need. Such newspapers are rarely in alphabetical order. The Ellensberg Daily Record in Washington state, however, recognizes that even though it is small, many still count on it for reliable and easy to access death notices.
Stretching back a considerable span of time, the North Kitsap Herald in Washington state lists obituaries by the date of death, but also contains a convenient search function. Very often death notice pages are limited to the very recently deceased, but this newspaper allows visitors the choice to read the day's posts, or skip directly to the obituary they are interested in.
As convenient as search functions are, they make it very difficult to actually read through most obituary sections like one would any other part of the newspaper. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer combines the necessity of searchable pages with tabs organized by date, so it is easy to both scan the obituaries as well as go directly to the information you need.
The majority of online obituary pages are quite simple, usually based on a thumbnail or search function that allows visitors to navigate the page. Any death notice page, like the Seattle Times, which is geared towards the variety of reasons why people read obituaries is useful in that it works equally well as both a research tool and a community for mourners.

text: "Currency specialists saved me money" When Ronald Cross decided to buy a a second home in Spain, he began his search for a currency exchange specialist who could offer him the best rates along with a seamless service. His search led him to Smart Currency Exchange. With the favourable current £/€ exchange rate, we asked Ronald to tell us a little more about Smart so that others can benefit too… How did you find out about Smart Currency Exchange? I was very fortunate to stumble across Smart when I was browsing the internet looking to find the best ways of transferring funds abroad. I was in the process of buying a small, two-bedroom house in Spain where I spend a few months each year. Why was it that you chose to use a currency exchange specialist? That's simple, I wanted a reliable and efficient way of transferring money and I didn't want to pay through the nose for those services as I would have done if I had made the transfers through my bank. How exactly did the Smart team help you? The Smart Team were great. They were helpful no matter how large or small an amount I wanted to transfer whether it was £2,000 or £200. I just wish that I had known about this service a lot earlier because it could have saved me a lot of money. The company that I had been using before were global but they were nowhere near as helpful as Smart. Did you deal with a particular trader? I dealt with David Comber who was on the end of the phone to offer advice whenever I needed him. We agreed rates at which I was happy to trade and when they were reached he would call to confirm that I was happy to sell and would deal with everything on my behalf. Did anything about Smart's service really stand out? The part of Smart's service that I liked the most is that they contact you when you make the money available and ask you about transferring in into your receiving bank account. They provide you with a currency rate, either by phone or email, no matter where you are. It couldn't be easier. I would recommend Smart with complete confidence to my friends and colleagues but I believe that the service that they provide really sells itself.

The top 12 artists brought a new fight to The Voice stage Monday, turning it up with showmanship and song choices that highlighted their musical versatility.
But it was Matthew Schuler's night for Team Christina Aguilera. The 20-year-old from Yardley, Pa., brought church to the stage with his emotional take on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
The son and grandson of ministers, Schuler offered a passionate tribute to his gospel roots that left his mother – watching from the audience – in tears and his coach praising his follow-through on her advice to "be fearless."
"There is something so magical and the room becomes silent and then you just lift it up, the applause. Everyone is just with you and behind you," Aguilera praised. "You are a gift and you are so blessed. I appreciate you, and I am very humbled and very happy you chose me as your coach."
Also earning major respect from her own coach Monday was Kat Robichaud, who seemed thrilled when Cee Lo Green, who saved her last week, directed her to her rock roots on AWOLNATION's "Sail."
Wearing shimmering silver hot pants, the 29-year-old from Raleigh, N.C., offered up plenty of rock drama and a first for The Voice: Falling back into the audience from the stage, she crowd-surfed, never skipping a beat.
Coach Blake Shelton took notice. "I loved watching Kat. She's like a lion walking around a herd of antelopes in this audience. When you fell over, I said, 'There's no way she can sing through it,' but you sang through it. It was amazing."
Shelton's team also delivered some strong performances, most notably Cole Vosbury, 22, who shined on the R&B hit "Adorn" by Miguel. Sounding like a raspy merge of Joe Cocker and Edwin McCain, the Shreveport, La., native got a standing ovation from the judges.
"Every time Cole gets on stage, I think he brings a gun to a knife song," Shelton enthused. "It's more than you expect and it squashes you."
Shelton got a different kind of flavor out of Louisiana's Ray Boudreaux, who impressed last week with some "swamp pop" from his home state. Taking on John Legend's soulful "All of Me," the 25-year-old drew screams from the women in the audience.
"Ray is sexy and you can't blame me for that," Shelton joked.
Adam Levine was impressed when his team member James Wolpert, a Lancaster, Pa., computer nerd, changed gears again, moving away from his acoustic zone to shine on the Killers' "Mr. Brightside."
"It was almost kind of a dynamic yet controlled and blistering performance," Levine told the 22-year-old. "You just turned into a rock star before our very eyes."
Also rocking it out was the show's youngest finalist, Jacquie Lee, 16, from Team Christina, who showed maturity beyond her years on Jack White's version of U2's "Love is Blindness."
"I love the way you make me feel. I forget to think," Green told the Colts Neck, N.J., student. "I just get lost in it momentarily."
He then paid her the ultimate compliment. "I want to download the version of that record."
The Voice continues Tuesday as the Top 12 are narrowed down to 10. For the first time, viewers can use the show's new "instant save" function, which will also be in place during live eliminations on Nov. 19, Nov. 26 and Dec. 3. For a five-minute window during eliminations, Twitter users with public accounts can vote online to save one artist in the night's bottom three by Tweeting that singer's voting keyword along with a show hashtag.

If your resolution is to find a new job or keep the one you have, consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas offers a few suggestions to meet your goals, even in a difficult economy. McClatchy-Tribune Newspapers
To keep your job
Seek more responsibility. Volunteer for challenging tasks and exhibit a take-charge attitude. Demonstrate how you can increase value for the corporation.
Meet your boss' boss. At the next company event, meet those at least two rungs higher on the corporate ladder. They're the ones who can advance your career.
Join a company committee. Joining or volunteering can help you build relationships with other people in your company whom you might otherwise never meet.
Find and/or become a mentor. Mentoring and being mentored provide perspectives and new ideas about career goals and how to achieve them.
Align individual and company goals. Look to bridge the gap in differences between your career objectives and your company's goals by attending meetings and company-offered development courses. This illustrates your willingness to be on board with the company's plans.
Discover ways to save money. Find ways to increase efficiency and performance while decreasing costs.
Become an expert on one facet of your field. Knowing more than anyone else on a specific issue or topic will help make you the "go-to" person. This specialized knowledge makes you extremely valuable and should be covered in your resume.
To find a job
Join LinkedIn, MySpace, Facebook, etc. More companies are searching the Internet for information about candidates, so create a professional-looking page that tells them you are exceptional.
Remove/cover tattoos. While body art is becoming more common and more accepted, many offices still find it unprofessional.
Get involved with a community service group. This is a great way to build your network as well as hone your skills.
Join a professional or trade association. These organizations can provide training and education opportunities and most hold several networking functions every year. The dues are worth it if you meet a person who can help you find a new job.
Meet 10 new people in your field but outside of your company. Building these relationships may help you in your current position and they will definitely help when you enter the job market.
Rev up your skills. Build upon your established skill set. Explore online courses and local certificate programs to broaden your industry knowledge.
Stay positive and be patient. Job searches are never easy, but it can be particularly daunting in a down economy. By maintaining a positive attitude and exhibiting patience, you can overcome the emotional barriers that could lengthen your search.

I need a FREE CMS for some Portfolio websites for Photographer/Artististic clients.. Whats a CMS that has the best option for the Gallery part of the website? Needs to be user friendly and easy for clients to understand..
Looking for suggestions other than Wordpress, Modx, CMS Made Simple, Drupal, and Joomla.. just want to try something new (:
Looking for 2 options:
Create child pages at (site.com/gallery/project1) with the uploaded images + Description + a thumbnail added to site.com/gallery + Title
Add thumnail to (site.com/gallery) that open up to a bigger Image through modal/lightbox
If you really want to get fancy try DotCMS (Java based). Other than that, any CMS can be made to do what you want, some will just require more customization than others.
Hmm I'm not too familiar with that CMS.. I took a look at it but ill have to browse the forums some more. for what I'm lookin for is there any CMS that makes it easier than others? maybe one that comes with a gallery module that makes what I want easy or something like that.. I don't have too much PHP experience so wouldnt be able to customize it by adding the functionality to some of the CMS options.. just looking for a simple/user friendly way to do this 1 page so I can start building these sites for friends
Drupal can work to your requirements. That is my recommendation. Try a few open source options out though - it never hurts.
If you're just looking for a gallery portion (in other words, the rest of the site isn't content managed), then why not just keep it simple and take a look at any of the multiple gallery scripts available. A CMS may be overkill for your purposes.
Well you're #2 request should be simple. Any CMS should be capable of doing that even if you have to write a little jQuery so that links under a specific criteria (a img, or a.some-class, etc...) are handled by a lightbox extension or something like that. So in that case you're link is pointed at the big picture but when you click the link, jQuery + a Lightbox plugin take over and instead of completing the request, they create a lightbox to display the image. If you used a special class to activate the jQuery you could make any page a "Portfolio" page by linking thumbnails to their larger counterparts and giving the links a class of "portfolio" or whatever you decide to use as the trigger.
For your #1 request you can also use pretty much any modern CMS. Although you've indicated that you want to try something different I would say Drupal 7 (which is a different Drupal than earlier versions) can definitely pull this off with the help of the Media Gallery Module. You'd need Media Gallery, Media API + File Entity and then to really make it shine, add the Plupload integration module so you can drag-n-drop files into the upload field (you can grab multiple files, drop them in the upload field and upload them all at once). You can have as many galleries as you like and rearrange the order of the images by dragging them around (a bit like Facebook Galleries). You can create as many portfolio sets and arrange them in a grid.
Please read the OP before responding - he's looking for tools OTHER than WP, Drupal and Joomla!

States like Virginia and Maryland have determined that wildlife waste plays a significant role in water pollution. In the Washington area, violations of the bacteria standards have put more than two dozen streams, including the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, on the federal "impaired waters" list; that means they do not meet the ideal conditions for swimming and need cleaning up.
So who -- or what -- is responsible for the contamination? The answer has become much clearer in the past five or so years, because of high-tech tests sponsored by states that pinpoint from which animal a particular sample of bacteria came.
In this area, some of what these surveys have found is not surprising:
- One recent study by a Virginia Tech team found that humans are responsible for 24 percent of the bacteria in the Anacostia and 16 percent of the Potomac's, whether the source is a broken septic tank or the District's large sewage overflows during heavy rains.
- Livestock were also a major problem around the area -- responsible for 10 percent of the Potomac's bacteria, for instance -- because their manure washes out of pastures and the farm fields where it is spread as fertilizer.
Then there are nature's own polluters:
- In the Potomac and the Anacostia, for instance, more than half of the bacteria in the streams came from wild creatures.
- Environmental Protection Agency documents show that similar problems were found in Maryland, where wildlife were more of a problem than humans and livestock combined in the Magothy River, and in Northern Virginia tributaries such as Accotink Creek, where geese were responsible for 24 percent of bacteria, as opposed to 20 percent attributable to people.

Wilmington Symphony Orchestra season opens Saturday at UNCW
In a season that will include everything from a holiday opera to a celebration of cultural diversity, the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra opens its 2013-14 campaign with a dazzling overture by Hector Berlioz and romantic ballet music by Peter Tchaikovsky, book-ending a set of sumptuous introspective songs by Richard Strauss.
Music director Steven Errante has a bucket list. Lots of us do, but an orchestra conductor has things to consider beyond his own desires. Is the music suitable for the orchestra, or a particular soloist? And how much will it cost?
Errante is one of the lucky few who, at least once a year, gets to check off something from the list. And in this season's first concert at UNCW's Kenan Auditorium on Saturday, it's a happy accident that the music aligned with something from soprano soloist Nancy King's wish list.
"Nancy and I both had the Strauss 'Four Last Songs' on our individual bucket lists, and we happened to discover that one day by the water cooler," Errante said in an email interview. "The 'Four Last Songs' are almost uniformly contemplative, with no fast music at all. The first song anticipates the coming of spring, but the other three are more concerned with the coming of repose, either in the form of sleep or death."
Indeed, the "Four Last Songs," considered among Strauss' finest works, were completed near the end of the composer's life in 1948. In them, his orchestration marries music to poetry by Eichendorff and Hesse, resulting in a blissful profundity that rivals any other songs in the classical repertoire.
Errante said his collaboration with King and the orchestra is one in which they take their cues from musical characteristics more than the words.
"I try to bring out what I feel Strauss is saying in the music rather than trying to impose my own interpretation of the poetry," Errante said.
That said, it is worth taking time, as surely King has done, with the poems before the concert. Imagine how one's experience of the songs is heightened when, for example, one is confronted with the first line of Eichendorff's "Im Abendrot" (At Twilight) of a couple walking into the sunset to the words, "Through sorrow and joy we have gone hand in hand," entwined with the soaring arc of Strauss' music.
Extra-musical influences get their due in Errante's pre-concert talks, as rehearsal time for each program is limited and musicians are expected to do their homework. But it's fun to know such things as Berlioz's fondness for the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, author of "The Last of the Mohicans," and how his book "The Red Rover" influenced the title change of a particular concert overture from "The Towers of Nice" to the more dashing "Le corsaire."
When it comes to ballet music, only one composer can claim a trifecta of greatest hits that have a life beyond the theater. You know "The Nutcracker" and have almost certainly heard a theme or two from "Swan Lake." And then there's "Sleeping Beauty." Tchaikovsky had a knack for ballet music.
For this concert, Errante has made his own suite, which includes about a half hour of music usually omitted from concerts.
"In my choices from "Sleeping Beauty," I tried to include as many numbers where the dance characteristic is strong, pieces with names like waltz, Polacca or mazurka," he said. "But there are other sections in which part of the story is being acted out where the music is more of a symphonic narrative, and I've included some of those as well."

Fall is the perfect time to inspect your downspouts and gutters, making sure they are fit to last the winter and will be ready for the spring thaw. If you spot some bent, broken or damaged areas, autumn is also an ideal time to repair or replace your gutters. With a little know how and some essential safety tips, this DIY project can be taken care of quickly.
Top Tips for DIY Gutter Repairs and Replacement
1) Be Careful
It may go without saying, but most of this project will be done while you are high up on a ladder. Proper fall arrest equipment and procedures should be used, including tying yourself off to a secure part of the roof, stabilizing the ladder and having a partner on the ground to spot you.
Try to complete this DIY gutter replacement job when the weather is decent, without rain to make the roof and ladder slippery and without too much wind that can catch long pieces of eaves trough and pull you off of the ladder.
Always wear gloves when working with gutters, downspouts and eaves trough, to protect your hands and allow for a better grip.
2) Check Your Measurements
Eaves troughs are generally long and involve a few corners and bends. Be sure that you double check your measurements before purchasing the materials, especially if the product is a special order.
Account for all of the pieces, including the downspouts and any changes in elevation between roof lines. You should be able to calculate all of your measurements at ground level. Write down the lengths or take a sketch to the building supplies store and have the staff there double check your material list.
3) Remove the Old Gutters As Gently As Possible
There may be some force needed, but try not to damage the fascia during removal. Metal eaves trough is fairly heavy and even PVC or plastic types can be filled with debris that has some weight to it. Having someone on the ground to catch or gather the old pieces is helpful, but make sure they won't be in the way as the pieces come down.
4) Repair or Repaint Fascia Before New Gutters Are Attached
Wood fascia will rot over time and paint will wear away. You will need to repaint any surfaces or completely replace the wood with PVC fascia for a low maintenance, lifelong finish.
5) Spacing Is Important
You need to leave the proper amount of spacing between the outer edge of the roof line and the top of the gutter. If you put the gutters too close, it will eliminate the overflow spacing and any water back up can damage the shingles - too far will make the flow inefficient. Many manufacturers suggest a spacing of 1 1/4". Check installation instructions of the specific product you have purchased.
Gutters and downspouts are an essential part of your roofing system and help to control drainage on your property. Choose a quality system made from low maintenance materials for the wisest investment. With a solid eaves trough installed your home is ready for the coming season.Posted by: TrustedPros

Syria needs a united opposition
The Syrian opposition needs to put its house in order and build a more coherent structure. There is little hope for a coherent struggle against Bashar Al Assad's regime without a unified leadership.
For example, the ceasefire over the Eid weekend was observed by the Free Syrian Army (FSA), but ignored by independent extremist groups, who chose to re-ignite the fighting for their own purposes.
Inside Syria, the rebel units are not following a unified military plan and videos of brutal slaughter of government soldiers by opposition forces point to the deep dangers created by lack of discipline.
The opposition has to seek to uphold the moral high ground that it still has from months of peaceful marching. Without genuine political control over the armed units, the Syrian struggle can easily slip into disastrous sectarian and regional chaos.
The FSA contributes about half the units inside Syria, while outside Syria, the Syrian National Council does not get much support from rebels. An important meeting started yesterday in Doha when many friends of the Syrian opposition hoped to help the disparate groups come up with a more united front.
The US has taken a lead in proposing a new and more inclusive structure, which is being referred to as the Syrian National Initiative. It makes sense to propose this new structure to the Syrians at the meeting, but it is less encouraging to read that US may be promoting the respected dissident Riad Seif as the head of a new government-in-exile which will be dubbed Syrian National Initiative.
There is an important distinction between helping the opposition become more coherent and imposing outside direction. The decision on who should lead the renewed opposition has to come from the Syrians themselves and cannot be imposed by the US State Department or any other non-Syrian body.
Far too many people remember the previous American adventure in Iraq when they wanted to impose Ahmad Chalabi as the leader of the new government, but failed miserably.

I have mostly been dissapointed with the lack of depth from the daily e-mails. Not much substance. But the desk calendar and journal are fantastic tools, as long as people will actually use them.

The Cabinet Office believes the economy is recovering moderately despite some weakness, according to its monthly report for February released on Thursday. The report warned, however, of risks from uncertainty overseas.
The Cabinet Office downgraded its assessment of the world economy for the first time since last August due in part to corporate weaknesses in the United States and the eurozone.
Japan is "on a moderate recovery, while weakness can be seen in some areas," it said, leaving unchanged its assessments of all 14 categories. The government retained its assessment of corporate profits as "improving."
"Firms' judgment on current business conditions is almost flat, while cautiousness can be seen in some areas," it said.
A Cabinet Office official attributed the evaluation to solid earnings reports for the October to December period that were released by domestic companies.
On industrial production, the government upheld the view that it has been "flat."
"Inventories for construction machinery remained high, and the production of electronic parts for smartphones lacked strength," the official said.
Meanwhile, the government kept intact its assessment of exports as "weak." The official said automobile exports to the United States were on the rise, while demand for capital goods in China and other Asian countries was sluggish.
"Last-minute demand ahead of the Chinese New Year could often lead to robust exports for China and other Asian countries. But this year it was weaker than before," the official added.
Looking ahead, the Cabinet Office said the economy is expected to move toward recovery, but it also said attention should be given to the increased uncertainty in overseas economies, referring to a slowdown in emerging Asian markets, including China.
The report also warned of the negative effects of fluctuations in the financial markets against the backdrop of fears over the global slowdown. It said the Chinese economy is slowing moderately.
The markets have seen volatility so far this year, with the Nikkei average moving between the 14,000 level and the 18,000 mark.
As for the negative interest rate implemented this month, the official did not elaborate on its impact on the economy, saying it happened too recently.

Thanks to a scheming Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, the last Stark in King's Landing – Sophie Turner's Sansa – has left the capitol.
She's "sailing home," as Littlefinger put it in last Sunday's episode, as they began to travel far away from the chaos that erupted following King Joffrey Baratheon's wedding day murder.
But nothing is that simple or that easy in "Game of Thrones."
PHOTOS: The Gorgeous Gals Of 'Game Of Thrones'
With her flame haired character heading off on a new journey, Sophie shared with Access Hollywood her thoughts on recent events — like finding out Ser Dontos was (going to be) paid to help Sansa flee the city. She also discussed how Sansa's ability to adapt in dangerous situations has kept her alive in brutal Westeros. And, she also explained what it has been like to have such a close friend – Maisie Williams (Arya) – to share the "GoT" ride with.
AccessHollywood.com: Do you think Sansa is relieved at all by Joffrey's death?
Sophie Turner: I mean, she's definitely relieved. The thing is, is that he was the main kind of factor that was keeping her in King's Landing, but then there's all the other people like Cersei and Jaime and she's still in a marriage to Tyrion. I mean, everyone still wants her to be kept prisoner, so there was definite relief, but she knows that there's no way that she can escape them – and she does!

Access: With the help of Ser Dontos. How do you think she feels when she finds out Ser Dontos was full of baloney?
Sophie: Well, I think the thing about Ser Dontos is he has like a genuinely good heart. He's a drunk and he doesn't know what he's doing. He didn't do anything really to offend Sansa. He's just doing what he thinks is right because he knows in the end that she's gonna get out, and I think Sansa knows that and she feels a lot of compassion towards him, especially because of like at the beginning of Season 2, when he had to drink all that wine. Poor guy.
Access: To see Littlefinger is behind [her rescue] and to see him – how does she feel when all that happens? She wants to trust somebody and he's the one telling her don't trust anybody and yet putting himself forward as the one she can trust.
Sophie: I know. … I don't know really how she feels about Littlefinger. I mean, she's very wary about everyone and he's made it super clear that he is not really the one to be trusted. We all know that Ned put his trust in Littlefinger and Littlefinger betrayed it, so Sansa's not going to be too quick to jump into trusting him or anyone for that matter.
Access: A lot of people are excited about this new 'fighter' Arya, but Sansa is a survivor and that's just as meaningful in a world like this to be a survivor. Can you talk a little bit about how you see her? There's so many things that could have happened to her and she's managed to ride out the storms.
Sophie: I think Sansa is one of the strongest people because the thing about this world that people don't realize is that, yeah, there are these cool fighting badasses like Brienne and Arya, but the real easiest way to survive is to keep your mouth shut and do what people want you to do and Sansa's like clicked on to this and that's why she's gone on for so long. People aren't scared of her, people don't suspect her. I think it's a very brave and very intelligent thing to do.
Access: And if you think about it, Arya, if she had stayed in King's Landing, she might not be alive, because she wouldn't have been able to keep her mouth shut.
Sophie: No.
'Game Of Thrones' Cast On Who Are The Biggest Celebrity 'GoT' Fans
Access: So Sansa is really the best person to have been in that situation if you had to have one of the Starks there.
Sophie: Yeah 100 percent, because she's like a sponge. She just adapts so well and then she's soaking up all this information from all these different people and it's just – it's just gonna come back and bite the rest of them in the arse.
Access: Sophie, one of the things I noticed this season is the sleeves keep getting longer on the costumes.
Sophie: Oh my God, I know. I keep walking along like in my trailer and stuff and [I] get the sleeves caught in my doors. It's really annoying.
Access: Can you hide things in there when you're working, so if you're hungry…
Sophie: They all slip out. It's the stockings. I put like used tissues down — they're gross — blow my nose, put it down the stockings. Lollipops, anything. Anything goes.
Access: Your executive producers, David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss], are known as pranksters. Have you been pranked yet?
Sophie: I haven't been pranked. I know they will prank me, though, because I'm very gullible. Who have they done that to? I think that they've done it to Kit [Harington] and Alfie [Allen].
Access: And Gwen.
Sophie: Nikolaj and Gwen… they'd gone out for dinner in Croatia and then, they were on set the next day and I was on set the next day as well. And David and Dan – Gwen was saying she got approached by a fan and she kind of like politely declined and David and Dan made up this whole [fake story] that it was like all over the internet that she had [rudely] dismissed this fan and they were freaking her out. She was like freaking out on set. It was so funny. They're so mean. They're so cruel.
Access: Did Jack Gleeson get one as a parting gift?
Sophie: No, Jack didn't get one. I'm sure they're plotting a lot of things for next season. It's so believable though because they send you like a whole script and it all makes sense.
READ: 'Game Of Thrones' Q&A: Maisie Williams On Her Bond With Rory McCann
Access: You and Maisie are close friends. Do you think having Maisie along with you on this journey has helped out because you two have been able to grow up together and share your experiences?
Sophie: Definitely. It gives you a friend that you can like relate things to and be like, 'Is this normal?' You kind of learn together and grow together and your friends don't understand it and you kind of need someone to talk to about it. I think we keep each other kind of grounded.
Access: Have you had any of those moments where you've had to go to her and say, 'OMG, this just happened. I met so and so…'?
Sophie: Definitely. When we were at the SAG Awards – Maisie and I are obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence, and Jennifer came up and I don't think Maisie was there and she said, 'I love your show,' and then she like hugged me and I turned around to Maisie and I was like, 'I can't. I can't speak.' And Maisie was like crying with me. It was crazy. We're such fangirls.
"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays at 9 PM ET/PT on HBO.

Hello and welcome.
My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with excellent service today. I am sorry to hear of your difficult situation. Before I can give you an accurate answer to your question, please provide the following additional information:
Do you know whether there are e-mails, designs, photographs, receipts, or other evidence the contractor might have to prove how much is owed?
I look forward to assisting you as soon as I have received this information. Thank you.
He does not have that...all he has are estimates that were sent to us and that we have used as the basis for what we believe we owe...he has added LOTS of extras based on what he claims were verbal discussions to change the scope of work, but there are no written records of that.
I hope this helps clarify the situation for you. Please remember to rate my service once you have all the information you need so I will be compensated for my time from the deposit you posted with this website. If you have any other questions, please ask me – I'll be happy to respond. Thank you!
Thanks Tina. I made him an offer to pay the $50k which he rejected, and I put an ultimatum on it of Dec 15 last year since if payment went past 2012 I would no longer be able to deduct the landscaping-related capital improvements from the gain we recorded on the sale of the house in 2012. Can I take the position that I owe him less than the $50,000 since this is now no longer a tax-deductible expense?
Thanks Tina, you'll definitely have my positive review...in your opinion, do I need a lawyer if this goes to court, or could I represent myself since his case is so weak.

2014 Bahrain Global Money Week
- Participants:
- Ministry of Social Development
- The Financial Organization for Children and Youth
- Date of the event:
- 15th - 21st of March
- Number of children reached:
- 2 500
The Ministry of Social Development and the Financial Organization for Children and Youth lead the Global Money Week (15th -21st March 2014) celebrations in Bahrain. Sunday, the 16th March 2014, was named 'Global Money Day'. Fun and educational activities were organized across the country in order to raise the financial awareness of Bahraini youth and children. Banks and financial institutions played a central role in these activities as there is a consensus amongst the participating organizations that our youth and children's financial education will play a crucial role in mitigating potential future financial crises.
"Sharifa Al Awadi" Club organized a creative activity with a financial theme on the coast of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Children from a host of youth clubs had fun creating sand sculptures inspired by the lessons that they had learnt about the importance of savings. Their artwork was displayed to the public along Algazayer Beach and they provided a light-hearted atmosphere for friends and family to discuss their financial tips and tricks.
The Children and Youth Club encouraged children and youth to creatively express why they think they should save money by entering their drawings and handcrafts into the Club's financial-themed creative contest. The entries were then published in national newspapers, magazines and by the Ministry of Social Development via social media then published the entries.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Baseball hall of famer Nolan Ryan and Austin's hometown hero will deliver the keynote address and host a question-and-answer period during the General Session at the upcoming Irrigation Show and Education Conference, Nov. 4-8, in Austin, Texas.
With an unparalleled 27-season career (1966 – 1993) and several notable Major League records to his name, Nolan Ryan is no stranger to hard work and dedication — he boasts seven career no-hitters, 5,714 strikeouts and 12 one-hitters. After hanging up his glove in 1993, Ryan went on to own two minor league baseball teams and is now CEO of the Texas Rangers, where his influence on baseball operations has helped lead to three consecutive postseason appearances.
In his keynote address, Ryan will discuss how to take care of the customer. Ryan's strong commitment to customer satisfaction has played a key role in the success of his many business ventures. Since his arrival to the Rangers in 2010, the franchise has recommitted itself to enhancing the fan experience, establishing single season home attendance records in each of the last two years and surpassing the 3-million attendance mark for the first time in franchise history in 2012.
"I am incredibly excited to have Nolan Ryan as our keynote for the General Session in Austin, Texas," said Irrigation Association President Bob Dobson, CIC, CID, of Middletown Sprinkler Company. "Nolan Ryan is a nationally known personality and businessman who has a special connection with the folks in Texas. We are pleased to be able to have such a legend on our stage."
Chuck Morgan, public address announcer and senior vice president of ballpark entertainment for the Texas Rangers Baseball Club, will share the stage to moderate the Q&A portion of the address. Morgan has worked in professional baseball for over 30 years and was named the best public address announcer in Major League Baseball by The Sporting News in 2001 and 2003.
Open to all registered attendees, the General Session will take place Thursday, Nov. 7, 8:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. Doors open at 8:00 a.m. for a kick-off continental breakfast.

text: Hi, could someone check what temperature the fan kicks in on the S3? In particular if you have a pre-facelift (just in case there is any difference between pre & post facelift!). You can check the temperature by using channel 49 on the air conditioning console. Just get the engine warm. Park it up and wait for the temperature to rise, pop the bonnet and see what temperature the fan comes on at. This thread here has some info from ELSAWIN on the temperature that the fan should kick in at http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/air-conditioning/107293-8l-s3-air-con-fan-not-working-help.html My fan was only kicking in at 104C and apparently the signal was going to the fan to kick in at Stage 1 but it the fan wasn't starting. So it seemed my fan was gone. I replaced the fan. Now the fan kicks in at 99C and cuts out at 98C. I was expecting my fan to kick in somewhere between 92 - 97C. This seems quite odd. The fan doesn't control what temperature to kick in at from what I have read. That is controlled by the fan control module. So simply replacing the fan should not have any affect on what tempature it kicks in it? But it has in my case. Previously on the old fan it kicked in at 104C, whilst now it kicks in at 99C. Why has the temperature that my fan kicks in at gone from 104C down to 99C by simply changing the fan? Does it sound like my fan was never broken? Because it is still not kicking in at Stage 1.

21st Precinct -- by Stewart Wright, which you do list accordingly and the way other authors and researchers wished you would do for the logs they did.
As Easy as ABC -- by Martin Grams. Compiled from scripts at the Library of Congress. No recordings known to exist.
America's Lost Plays -- same as above.
American Portrait -- same as above.
The Black Chapel -- by Randy Eidemiller. Randy had access to a script collection in Los Angeles. Even the Los Angeles newspapers don't list the titles. He had four missing gaps out of the entire log and you happen to have the same missing four gaps. Doubt it is a coincidence, especially since the scripts he had access to were for less than two year's worth of episodes and the series ran nine years.
Broadway is My Beat -- Terry Salomonson, who also published it and expressed disappointment the other week that he was once approached for permission to have it reprinted on your site but until recently he was not credited accordingly. It is now credited accordingly and he's happy, but he did wish you would reprint the following.
© July 5, 1996 by Terry Salomonson.
Canterbury Tales -- by Martin Grams. Source: LOC
Casey, Crime Photographer -- by David Siegel. Stanich did a log years prior, but Dave has Cole's material, and with the assistance of J. Randolph Cox, a big wig authority in other fields, revised and corrected errors from Stanich's, especially from Cole's archive.
The Carrington Playhouse -- by Martin Grams. Scripts from the Library of Congress. They were missing scripts for episodes 4 and 13, and to my knowledge, no recordings are known to exist
The Cinnamon Bear -- by Frank Passage. The original radio scripts never had script titles, as verified by Dennis Crow, an authority on the subject. Everyone has made up their own titles while a few simply labeled them "episode one," "episode two," etc. The titles you list on your site are the titles Frank Passage made up for himself. (Most people refer to the final episode as "Final Episode" but Passage, for some odd reason, felt "North Pole" was best and that was the tip-off to the source)
Challenge of the Yukon -- by Terry Salomonson. Other than the Library of Congress, NO ONE has the scripts except for Terry and he compiled a log and even had it copyrighted on Oct. 17, 1988
Charlie Wild -- by Ray Stanich.
The Chicago Theater of the Air -- by Ray Stanich. He compiled the log three decades ago. I also note that you listed the main guest singer for almost every episode, EXACTLY as Stanich's log. With the same missing gaps, and for names where the first name was not known, you also reprinted the same initials as Stanich did.
Crisis in War Town -- by Martin Grams. Compiled from the original scripts housed at the Billy Rose Theater Collection in New York City (part of the NYC Public Library and the Lincoln Center of Performing Arts). Max Ehrlich archive helped with proper spelling of one script title.
Cavalcade of Literature -- by Martin Grams. I came across the scripts at the LOC when I was working on The Cavalcade of America program in 1998 or 1999
Dangerously Yours -- by Martin Grams. I came across this series at the LOC, using existing recordings and scripts from LOC to fill in the gaps. Jean Holloway's family had the scripts, which verified the information and tweaked what was incorrectly listed in the broadcasts themselves.
Death Valley Days -- by Ray Stanich. He did the one and only log for the radio series. It was published in a magazine and later independently for sale by Stanich. No one to this date has found the archive that housed all the scripts, from which he created the log. He admitted in an interview that he had access to the scripts, and the only reason he had a few blanks was because there were scripts missing. Even Jay Hickerson acknowledged in his book that Stanich did the log.
Detour -- by Martin Grams. I came across some of the scripts in the Lawrence Klee papers at an archive. But his archive only had the first thirteen scripts. The remainder of the log originated from the Library of Congress. The ones at LOC had alternate versions of Klee's, obviously rough draft and final draft copies, and the log was put together through more than one source. Recordings do not exist.
Doc Savage -- by Will Murray. He has the original scripts, put together a log for both series during the 1980s, and no one had a log prior, and no one has had access to the scripts since.
Dr. Christian -- by Ray Stanich. He had access to the original scripts.
Dr. West's Celebrity Night - by Martin Grams, with help from Jay Hickerson, different source for the scripts, later reprinted on Frank Passage's web-site with permission.
Duffy's Tavern -- by Martin Grams. I did that log originally for SPERDAVC's Radiogram, I have since ventured to every archive across the country from USC, UCLA, Texas University, etc. and reviewed the scripts and discovered I had errors in my original log. Even though it appears that descriptions of episodes were revised by you or your staff, all 14 errors that appeared in my log in Radiogram are contained in yours so obviously I know where the source was.
The Easy Aces - by Terry Salomonson and Martin Grams. Taken from the RADIO DRAMA book I edited for McFarland. Top of page 154 clearly states: "This is the 1945-46 syndication, only descriptive titles are given." Hence, titles Terry created (not official script titles) having listened to the recordings. And almost word for word it's a copy.
Edgar Bergen - by Martin Grams
The Frances Langford Show -- by Martin Grams and Terry Salomonson. That was a joint venture. There are no official script titles but Terry claimed he had a list of titles assigned for the skits that appeared in each drama. I often believed they were made-up titles Terry conceived for the purpose of a broadcast log, figuring a descriptive title is better than no title, as the scripts themselves has no titles.
Hollywood Hotel -- by Ray Stanich. He had access to the original scripts.
Horizons West -- by Stewart Wright. His source was the KNX collection at the Thousand Oaks Library. He also did that in 1999 with the help of people who were involved with the program.
Information Please -- originated from my book(Martin Gram). While the majority of the episodes up to February 1945 exist in recorded form, making it easy for anyone to compile a log from the recordings themselves, all of the post-1945 broadcasts and the blanks filled in for pre-1945 originated from Dan Golenpaul's personal papers and journal entries at the Dan Golenpaul collection at the Library of Congress. A member of his family granted me permission to look over the restricted collection.
The Lone Ranger -- you are crediting Terry Salomonson as you should be, but he's in the process of negotiating a contract with the copyright and trademark owners for a project and having that reprinted on your site may be a violation of his contract and may put him into legal harm. Just an FYI. And of all the authors and researchers who had complaints, the way you credit Terry here is how other authors and researchers wished you would do so
Molle Mystery Theater -- Stanich had access to the scripts at NBC.
Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons -- by Jim Cox. He flew out to Wyoming to have access to the scripts. Stewart Wright helped him. Before flying out there, Jim asked me(Martin Grams) for advice knowing there would be no way he could compile a log with plots within five days, even with Stewart's assistance. I suggested a few shortcuts and for that, he was grateful because he acknowledged weeks later that it worked out perfectly. He had gaps and again, your site has the same gaps and tell-tale signs that it clearly came from him.
The Mysterious Traveler -- by Ray Stanich. He compiled the list of titles and dates from the original scripts at David Kogan's house. Stanich paid him a visit and put the log together. To this date, EVERY reprint of the log originated back to Stanich with barely a single revision (if any).
Nick Carter and Chick Carter series -- created by Ray Standish.. Stanich paid a visit to the Street and Smith archives in Syracuse -- his name is still registered there as a visitor -- and his log pre-dates all the reprints that have appeared since.
O'Hara -- by Stewart Wright. His source was the KNX collection at the Thousand Oaks Library.
Pursuit -- by Stewart Wright. His source was the KNX collection at the Thousand Oaks Library.
Tish -- by Martin Grams. Compiled from the radio scripts at the Library of Congress. Initially printed on a sheet of paper and Jay Hickerson has been selling that for years with proper author credit.
Terror by Night -- same as above, ditto with Jay Hickerson.
The Witch's Tale -- by David Siegel. He has Alonzo Deen Cole's archive in his possession and it was the scripts in the collection, and the blessing of the Cole family, that allowed him to do the book and the log. Dave is VERY influential with the OTR hobby and like Jim Harmon, Jim Cox, Jay Hickerson, etc., is a legend in the field.
Your Story Parade -- by Martin Grams. Only twelve episodes were produced. They were syndicated but oddly, the discs themselves never had episode numbers. Probably because there were so few produced it didn't make sense to number the discs. Wesley Davis' scripts were at the Library of Congress and since the scripts were numbered, I created the log by assigning an episode number that matched the number on the front page of the script. Prior and most likely still today, the recordings float about without an official episode number and title.
Yours Truly Johnny Dollar -- While the log on your site is puzzling, because the source is not clear cut and dried, Terry Salomonson should be credited as a source/earliest researcher (not as the sole author) because he is the only person to have researched and provided script titles for the "lost" episodes, which were copied from the archives of Wrigley at Chicago, and NO ONE can provide those titles without lifting it from Terry's. His current version of a former copyrighted log (originally copyrighted in the 1980s) is 9/15/98. Your log appears to be a compilation of a variety of sources, but considering you have titles that you could not have gotten without Terry's initial research and of which he still has the script covers copied from the archive, he should be acknowledged as an early source.

FIFA has tapped Megalicense Entertainment to manage the retail and licensing program for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Italian football club AS Roma has partnered with the eSports organization Fnatic to introduce the club's first professional team to FIFA's budding eSports league.
Executives from three of the world's leading sports leagues–the National Basketball Association, Rugby Football Union and Fédération Internationale de Football Association–will deliver the keynote address at Brand Licensing Europe, Oct. 11.
European sports brands such as FIFA, the Tour de France and Manchester United are taking a focused yet wide reaching approach to licensing strategies.
In 2011, FIFA decided to bring its licensing program in-house, and that decision has paid off in spades.
The licensing of sports brands, which represents almost $30 billion in retail sales of licensed merchandise worldwide, continues to grow, with co-branding partnerships, international activations and the entry of new sports franchises.
Adidas A.C Milan, Chelsea Football Club, FIFA, Automobil Lamborghini and Moto GP are among the 180 companies already signed up to exhibit at this year's BLE.
Sports licensing is emerging as a key growth area at this year's Brand Licensing Europe, as UEFA Euro 2016 joins the roster of speakers on the show's educational program.
As MAGIC, the fashion industry's biggest trade event, heads into another season, License! Global takes a look at current trends in licensed apparel.
EA Sports will continue to be the official sports technology partner of the Premier League for the FIFA video game series until 2019.
