Looking for a certain revolver. Any help?
I'm looking for a double action revolver with a nice curved handle, no finger impressions, and a nice length barrel. I keep seeing revolvers that are either huge cannons or the barrel is rather short. I'd like to have a nice revolver with nice weight and balance so its easy for handling. I'd like it to feel like second nature when handling. Maybe call it old fashioned but I rather like the idea of nice balanced revolvers for hobby shooting. Short barrels just wouldn't give it the same feeling or swing balance.
I figure the caliber might also present a certain cost in ammunition and I'd really like to be able to practice shooting as a hobby without breaking the pocket book. I don't need massive power as I think a high power gun might be too large for the type of revolver im looking for, like those cannons i spoke of, but I'd like to think it could provide protection if need be. I've got a buddy who's into guns but I'm afraid he might consider the type of revolver I'm looking for to be low power considering what he's used to haha His King Cobra is just way too large for what I'm looking for (and I rather dislike the handle).
I'd appreciate any feedback anyone could give me.

Smith and Wesson "L" Frame. Perhaps the 586, as you could shoot 38 Spcl rounds for plinking and target work, and load up with full house .357 magnum rounds for defense. The "L" frame was a combination of the smaller K frame and the big N frame introduced around 1980. A 4 or 6 inch L frame is a well balanced package that has proven itself a million times over. JMHO
I appreciate the answers. All of S&W current L frames on their site are nice but I rather dislike those handles. What's the difficulty, and cost, of having that replaced with something more curved? I'm not a fan of the finger grips and high holding.
I'm looking for something that's the closest looking to a single action army but is double action instead meanwhile can handle .45 Mag as well a .38 special- so an L frame sounds nice.
Should I stop into a gun shop to find more what I'm looking for or do you suggest I keep looking around online?
e A grip change can be as simple as removing a screw. Lots of grips available, from budget to high end custom grips. Check out Eagle Grips for some ideas as to what's available. http://www.eaglegrips.com/styles.htm
I couldn't in good faith reccomend that you purchase a handgun without first handling it at the very least. Getting some trigger time on a similar weapon is always best before plunking down your hard earned dough. A good relationship with a quality local gun shop of your choosing is well worth the time invested. They can provide you with advice, service, and most of all, the proper training.
i love my Ruger security six. getting hard to find good ones, check out gp
100s. luck.
GP 100 with the rosewood, Redhawk (hand cannon!), J frame S&W (as mentioned)
Let us know what you get! Good luck
Grips are an easy proposition on a revolver. For less than $50 you can get what you want. A "high hand hold" is preferred on any handgun. better recoil management and position relative to the trigger.
Look at the K-frame Smiths. M-19 (blued) or M-66 (stainless) are work horses. They will not hold up to thousands of rounds of full house magnum ammo but will give a lifetime of service with mostly .38 specials and a few (100-200/year) of magnums.
A step up is the L-frame. 686/586 are superb guns. Same grip size but beefier elsewhere. A bit heavier but will hold up to the magnums much better.
The N-frames are the Cadillacs of the Smith and Wesson catalog (IMHO). Big, heavy, beautifully built and dead tough in .357. Look for the M-28 (Highway Patrolman) or the M-27. If you can find one the old model 520 is basically a fixed sight M-28. The new 520 is a J-frame.
Ruger makes some very good quality revolvers as well. The security six and speed six were robust revolvers that are available on the used market. Rugers are made with investment castings so they tend to be a bit bulkier than comperable S&Ws.
I would not look for long at the Colts or Dan Wessons. Colt Pythons are beautiful revolvers that work well with .38 specials and a few dozen magnums/year. They will need work after about a thousand rounds of mags. The Dan Wesson revolvers were a cool concept with the ability to switch barrels on some models but the cylinder release can and will allow the cylinder to open when the gun is drawn from a holster.
In a nutshell - a 4" Smith or Ruger will give you the service and balance you are looking for.
Just curious- Have a Dan Wesson 15-2 since 1976. Have never had problem with unexpected cylinder release. ?????
We all grew up shooting Dad's S/W .45 service revolver, which is a double-action, small-gripped gem of a sidearm. Great sights, great balance between mass and recoil, and a fine piece of machinery. I wish I knew where the hell it is!

Tunisian Fish Tagine Recipe
The Lebanese Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious Lebanese Recipes and Middle Eastern food recipes) invites you to try Tunisian Fish Tagine Recipe. Enjoy tasty & easy tagine recipes and learn how to make Tunisian Fish Tagine.
Cook Time: 50 min
Yield: serves 4
4 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 fresh red chiles
5 tablespoons olive oil
700 g (1 lb 6 oz) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 cm (1/2") cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons tumeric
2 medium onions, sliced into thin rings
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
4 Kaffir lime leaves, optional
2 teaspoons paprika
a pinch of saffron threads infused in 1 1/2 tablespoons warm water
4 x 150-170 g (5-6 oz) fish steaks, cod or hapuku
salt and pepper
2 x 400 g (14 oz) cans Italian tomatoes, pureed and sieved (about 2 cups)
large handful of cilantro to garnish
Toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes over low heat. Grind to a powder in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder and set aside.
Seed the chilies and cut into julienne strips.
Place half of the olive oil in one large frypan and half in a nonstick pan with a lid. Put the potato into the nonstick pan. Add the tumeric and fry, tossing and turning the potatoes.
At the same time in the other pan, fry the onion and celery, stirring occasionally. When the onion begins to soften, add the garlic, lime leaves, chiles, cumin, paprika and saffron. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, then season lightly with salt and pepper and turn off the heat. Leave in the pan while the potatoes finish cooking.
As soon as the potatoes are cooked, season the fish steaks with salt and pepper and put them on top of the potatoes. Spoon the onion mixture over and around the steaks and pour over the tomatoes. Bring to boil over a medium-high heat, immediately lower it and cover. Cook gently for 7-10 minutes or until the fish is just cooked. Taste and season.
Serve in large warmed bowl, sprinkled with cilantro

Love was in the air as friends and fellow YA romance authors Susane Colasanti, Elizabeth Eulberg, Kieran Scott, Jennifer E. Smith, and moderator Jen Calonita dished about the origins of the stories they tell, their writing processes, and the art of crafting characters for a group of fans at Barnes & Noble on New York City's Upper West Side on June 26.
The authors all said they draw on their experiences and emotions for their books, yet the way those ingredients manifest themselves in a fictional landscape is often unpredictable. Colasanti, who doesn't hesitate to admit that her enduring love for New Kids on the Block provided the inspiration for Now & Forever (Viking), always thought that "it would be cool to be the girlfriend of the world's biggest rock star." What started out as indulging a teenage fantasy evolved into a book that focuses more on the negative aspects of stardom and, specifically, maintaining a relationship when two individuals suddenly find themselves in very different places in their lives.
Speaking of rock stars, Scott had her own confession to make: she has always been enamored of drummers – in fact, she married one – so when writing about a boy drummer in Only Everything, she tapped into her memories of adolescence, including the time when she was "dating a saxophonist, but crushing on the drummer." Meanwhile, Calonita's second summer camp-themed book, Summer State of Mind (Little, Brown/Poppy), draws from her own time spent working as a camp counselor.
Smith has her own formula for fiction: "I take something from real life, twist it, and add a cute boy," she joked. The Geography of You and Me is a love story about a boy and a girl who get stuck in an elevator together during a New York City blackout and attempt to forge a long-distance relationship based on a single night of connection. For the record, Smith has never been stuck in an elevator. Instead, a flight to Europe inspired the book: she had a lively conversation about literature with the person sitting next to her, a man in his 70s. After arriving at the airport, they went their separate ways. The experience got her thinking about the bittersweet notion that "you can spend seven hours talking to someone and not even know their last name."
Meanwhile, Eulberg's Better Off Friends evolved from the idea of writing a restaging of When Harry Met Sally. Eulberg thought it would be fun to take the movie's central question – can a man and woman really be "just friends"? – and set it in a YA arena.
Getting Down to Details
The authors turned the discussion from inspiration to planning, plotting, and drafting manuscripts. For Colasanti, outlining her books before writing the first draft is essential. "I like to know where I'm starting and going," she said. Her outlines often end up at around 40 pages long.
Smith takes a more extemporaneous approach, explaining that she doesn't plan her books in advance: "I basically start exploring. I get to know the characters as I go." Her process of writing in a state of "total darkness" and "feeling my way through" can be scary at times, she said, and often her characters are "very different at the end than they are at the beginning," requiring substantial revisions. But the creative freedom she's afforded by working without an outline is worth the extra work in the end.
Somewhere between Colasanti and Smith is Scott, who loosely outlines her books before beginning. For her current project, though, she's "winging it," without doing any outlining at all: "I don't know where it's going. I feel naughty," she joked.
Questions from the audience brought the authors back to the topic of character building; other topics included incorporating powerful narrative hooks, and the challenge of creating satisfying narratives that grant a degree of wish-fulfillment on the part of the author as well as for the reader.
For her most recent book, Scott started out writing a very character-focused love story, but with her editor's input, decided that the book required more of a hook. That's when she came up with the idea to mix Greek mythology and contemporary romance: the result was Only Everything. Her protagonist is lovesick Eros, whom Zeus banishes to New Jersey, where she – Scott switched the Greek god's gender – is forced to play matchmaker for human couples. Tapping into mythology this way allowed Scott not only to explore love in its manifestations, but also to have fun with Eros as a fish out of water.
On the subject of character, Eulberg said she finds it especially empowering to create teenage girls who are able to find the words to speak their minds in a moment – instead of (ahem) thinking of the words years later and writing them for made-up characters to say. This isn't to suggest that she takes it easy on her characters. Much of creating a tension in a book, Eulberg believes, means thinking about "the decisions your characters make. Think about what they really want – and then screw things up for them."
In other words of advice, Eulberg shared that one of her favorite exercises for nailing down her characters was recommended to her by a friend who read an early draft of a book. Her friend suggested that "each day, spend your commute with one of your characters." Now, when she's having difficulty fully understanding a character, she imagines him or her riding on the subway; it forces her to think of that character as a person in the world, instead of as an abstraction on the page.
Scott also practices visualizing characters' traits, and tries to reveal characters to readers in a visual way, as though through a window, she said. To demonstrate her point, she referenced a subject already broached on the panel. Her somewhat tongue-in-cheek example: Say you have a character, in a book set in the 1980s, who is obsessed with New Kids on the Block. She wouldn't simply say how much she loves Joey in dialogue; instead, a photograph of her mother and father in a picture frame might be ever-so-subtly eclipsed by a magazine cutout of Joey's face. Just, you know, purely theoretically – not based on anyone from real life on the panel or anything.
Whatever the origins of particular characters, the individuals who populate a novel are a big part of its driving momentum, the authors agreed. "I want to know my characters as well as [I know] my best friends," Colasanti said.

The hot lunch program in District 11 schools actually predates the school district itself.
The first hot lunch was served at Lincoln Elementary School in Anoka by Mrs. Mabel Erickson on Dec. 10, 1949.
It was about eight years later that 52 different school districts throughout the county were consolidated into Anoka-Hennepin District 11.
The superintendent of schools was Morris Bye when the hot lunch experiment began.
He suggested to Mrs. Erickson that she anticipate about 50 children who would chose to buy lunch.
At the time, students had a full hour lunch break and could walk home for lunch, buy lunch at a café in town, or bring a brown bag lunch to eat at school.
Exact numbers were not recorded, but a good deal more than 50 lunches were served that first day, with more students participating each day following.
By the end of the first week, Mrs. Erickson was serving over 100 lunches each day.
She approached the principal, Mr. George Petty, to ask if she could recruit several sixth-grade girls to help her because the cooking and serving was too much for her to deal with alone.
By Christmas time, a helper was hired.
Hot lunch consisted of a well-balanced nutritious meal including a minimum of two ounces of protein, a vegetable serving, a serving of fruit and milk.
The most popular menu items were sloppy joes, lasagna, or chicken with mashed potatoes.
The cost was 20 cents, and children were responsible to pay with correct change each day.
Remembering lunch money was character building.
It was often the child's first experience with money, and included important lessons about responsibility, organization, and economic decision making.
If a student forgot his money, lost it, or chose to save it for some other purchase, he was allowed to go hungry.
Mabel Erickson continued her career with the school lunch program for 30 years retiring in 1980.
She had become the cook/manager at Anoka High School, where she and her crew often served 1,500 meals per day.
Today, schools throughout the district serve over 30,000 lunches daily and almost 8,500 breakfasts, providing 284 jobs in our community.
A full hour for lunch is no longer possible with today's crowded curriculum.
Hot lunch allows for more efficient use of the school day.
It helps students to stay focused and allows them social time to chat with friends.
It also ensures that students from low income families are fed two nutritious meals per day, since breakfast was added in the mid 1980's.
The cost for a school lunch today is $2.25 and breakfast costs $1.35. (Elementary students pay $2.10 and $1.35: Adults pay $3.50 and $2.25.)
About half of the funding for the program comes from the federal government.
Charge accounts allow students to forgo the responsibility of lunch money, and allow parents the convenience of a monthly bill.
School lunch has a unique attribute among federal programs. It always reaches its target population.
It is one benefit that cannot be traded for liquor or drugs like food stamps.
It cannot be stockpiled or sold, or stolen by a schoolyard bully.
School lunch makes a tremendous difference in the lives of our children.

I f*cking love you Iso!
Everyone loves Iso. It is known.
Actually, if we're doing BoT all the way through Cho it's probably better for me to be shadow for that (unless you are 3 healing that now).
Actually, if we're doing BoT all the way through Cho it's probably better for me to be shadow for that (unless you are 3 healing that now).
They have a half a healer (see grinds) that hasn't done that yet. Not sure how I will do.
I'll want you healing on Cho, Act. We'll let the meters decide which out of Grinds or Selika will go DPS for Cho. Either way it is a cakewalk now compared to how it was.
I have a few more aoe options for the blobs, but selika has better interupts. I don't care either way. I need the healing practice to know where all my buttons are. We will have replenish either way we go.
Assuming Cho is towards the end of the night, I should be home and can fill in at heals if we need it. I certainly still need a fancy token =)
However, if I were to pick 2 healers out of that crew to do Cho, as much as Act's DPS would be welcome, I would say Grinds should go chicken. Selika will need to toss Mana tide, so he needs to stay heals and priest has more single target oomph than druid. Though I think that might lose the group replenish, so maybe it needs to be Grinds/Selika on the heals. WTB warlock.
Selika: I've found that tossing Mana Tide early is the way to go, that way it will be available again for the burn phase.
Lawk: Reading that post, I just now realized what your Location was talking about.
Less shot to hell. Work shouldn't keep me here late tonight, just make it a pita while I'm here.
I can probably go and do something tonight if we have the people for it.
If not, I'll probably log on and either try and max out my alchemy (up to 505, tyvm) or help our new 80+s get some gear.
Plus, there really isn't much left to kill we don't already have slated for Sunday.
There is this stupid Wind Lord flying around somewhere who dropped some tokens for us a week ago, but if nobody else wants to go I guess I can just go solo him again.
I'll go with you and cheer.
For Nef would it be worth it to try it with 4 healers? DPS never seemed like a problem on this fight.
Here is the run I could make for tonight:
Tank: Carg
Heals: Rant, Selika, Act
DPS: Cheeto, TK, Youko, Jeynsa, OPEN SPOT, OPEN SPOT
If we do manage to throw something together, please post as otherwise I will be at work.
Also, depending what we are going for, I can heal or tank or DPS.
I just say this in case Sel is sick of healing and wants a night off or someone else that prefers something else
Just sayin....
If we are doing something easy I can be half a healer on my priest....cheeto knows all about my healing, be warned.
I'm pretty under the weather today, so if Selika's up for heal duty tonight, he's more than welcome to take my spot (with Lawk's blessing, of course). I'll log on at 7:30 either way to see if I'm needed.

Top Furniture Sale - Year Round Lowest Sale Prices
Top Furniture offers year round low prices rather than offering inflated prices for much of the year and then slashing prices by 50% or more to make the sale prices look like the sale of the century. Here at Top Furniture we highly recommend that customers look twice when they see a 50% off headline on a website as is many cases this is too good to be true and the full priced items are highly inflated to make items look like a bargain. Don't be sucked in! We could easily play this same game but we dont like to mislead people and would rather build a longer term brand with some credibility and honesty. We also believe that the average consumer can see through these 50% headlines and can calculate for themselves what a real bargain is. Please try and visit our Staffordshire or Kent furniture showrooms to view the quality of what we sell as we are confident that we offer better quality than at least 90% of our competition. If you are still unsure about us then do a Google search for 'Top Furniture reviews' and see what the average customer thinks of us (un edited unlike many others!)
ALL SALES ARE NOT THE SAME AND HERE'S WHY - We have noticed that lots of our competitors claim to be offering 50% off sales all year round yet they are no cheaper than our standard all year round low prices. These sales often claim to be ending within a few days yet the following week suprise suprise the sale is still running again. Please dont be fooled by all this. These companies would never get away with selling at the high prices that they claim to have reduced by 50% or more as they wouldn't sell the volumes that they need. At best these high prices are offered for just a few days a year. When comparing furniture online please dont be fooled by huge discount prices and just compare the final price of the item you are looking for along with the quality. If we were to offer a 50% off sale we would lose money and be out of business as our prices are low all year round but we dont claim to be running a sale all the time like many others.
Feel free to call 01889 560999 to order over the telephone if preferred.

RP Friday Five – What Dreams May Come
Here are five questions to think about with your character – they can be answered here as comments, turned into a blog post of your own, or just something to think about while you grind away leveling over the weekend. This week we're tackling skills and abilities.
You'll find something like this every Friday here at Too Many Annas – and my answers are under the "read more" tag.
- Describe your character's sleep habits. Do they eat breakfast or have other routines?
- What do they dream about at night, if anything?
- Is your character a night owl or a morning songbird?
- What do they wear to sleep?
- Is your character ticklish?
And now for the many Annas…
- Angoleth sleeps like you'd expect of a hunter used to being in the wilds – lightly, and frequently at odd hours. She usually eats a little something for breakfast, but not too much. Aelflaed sleeps relatively lightly as well, though she falls back asleep easily. She likes her sleep to be regular (at least in the "every night for a few hours" sense). Aely also requires coffee in the mornings to wake up.
- Annorah's dreams are usually filled with fire – but not in a nightmare sense. She's used to having Fire around, and so having him there in dreams (much like having Water in her dreams, which is also frequent) is more of a comforting thing. Angoleth rarely remembers her dreams, but she's trained herself not to. Aelflaed dreams of home, and of the four is the most likely to talk in her sleep.
- Annorah and Annalira are both late sleepers and night owls. Angoleth and Aelflaed are both early to bed and early to rise. (Aely says I have to add: Unless Phileas promises a lazy morning and breakfast.)
- Annalira wears nightgowns, usually pretty ones. Aely sleeps in a soft old shirt and some knee-length linen pants most of the time.
- They all are ticklish, but Annalira is probably the only one that'd admit it openly. Of the four, Annorah is the least so, and Annalira or Aelflaed the most.

It's a hard-knock life for six godforsaken denizens of London in the gritty directorial debut of Ben Drew aka Plan B.
Purportedly based on real people and real events, Ill Manors pulls no punches in its depiction of the lengths to which some people will go to survive on the streets of the capital. It's a visually arresting descent into the darkest recesses of human suffering, cutting together different film stocks to create a nightmarish vision of a city under constant surveillance from CCTV cameras, mobile phones and nosey neighbours.
Drew introduces his protagonists in the best way he knows how: with a potty-mouthed rap and some similarly gritty imagery.
A cute injection of pace keeps the first hour zipping along at a fair lick before the sinewy plot strands become entangled and the screen glisters with anguish and despair.
Drug dealer Ed (Ed Skrein) is caught in a police sting and he quickly offloads incriminating evidence to associate Aaron (Riz Ahmed). Flashbacks to their formative years at St Erica's children's home for boys affirm their fraternal bond. While Aaron waits for Ed's release from custody, he crosses paths with illegal immigrant Katya (Natalie Press), who has been sold into sex trafficking and must make a stark decision about the future of her newborn child.
Torn between his head and his heart, Aaron faces an agonising choice of his own that has dramatic repercussions for the scheming landlord of the Earl of Essex pub and his wife Carol (Jo Hartley).
Aaron also encounters junkie Michelle (Anouska Mond), who stumbles down a sickening and destructive path in search of her next hit.
Elsewhere, schoolboy Jake (Ryan De La Cruz) attempts to blag some gear from gang leader Marcel (Nick Sagar), but acceptance comes at a price. "Go over there and smash him in. Then you'll get your stuff!" orders Marcel, pointing to Jake's timid classmate.
Former dealer Kirby (Keith Coggins) tries to reassimilate into a world that dragged him down 15 years ago. Meanwhile, volatile dealer Chris (Lee Allen) loses his cool when his sister is caught in the crossfire of a revenge shooting and two sassy teenagers, with dreams of a modelling contract, are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ill Manors is an assured debut that uses a robust script as a solid foundation for flashes of directorial brio.The fractured chronology allows Drew to hold back dramatic resolutions to the myriad conflicts until the very last second, intimating hope where there turns out to be none whatsoever.
The ensemble cast reward the writer-director with compelling portrayals of tortured souls who have almost given up hope of escaping the misery. In most cases, their pessimism is well placed.
'This is the story of me, Jack," explains the socially awkward narrator (Simon Pegg) of A Fantastic Fear of Everything, a children's author whose attempts to branch out into crime thrillers have left him with a paralysing fear of almost everyone. Thus, he becomes a recluse in his dirty flat, occasionally telephoning his shrink Dr Friedkin (Paul Freeman) for comfort.
Out of the blue, Jack's agent Clair (Clare Higgins) invites him to lunch. She pleads with him to churn out another story about his beloved character, Harold The Hedgehog. Unperturbed, Clair insists that he takes a meeting with head of scripts, Harvey Humphreys (Kerry Shale), that evening. So Jack steels himself for a trip to the Lotus Laundrette, where he crosses paths with beautiful stranger Sangeet (Amara Karan), community support officer Taser (Henry Lloyd-Hughes) and a serial killer .
The film is is a fascinating, yet flawed, experiment that fails to engage us on an emotional level. Jack provides narration throughout, which veers from the mildly comical to the dull, while Pegg performs Mr Bean-style slapstick with superglue, a pair of soiled underpants and a smoking oven.
The inconsistent tone proves unsettling, though not in a way to benefit the film.
Best known as the frontman of rock band Kula Shaker, director Crispian Mills strives to impose himself on his creation but like Dr Frankenstein, he is not in charge of this monster.

Staying at the Melting Pot was fun and easy. Especially as solo traveller it was simple to get in touch with other people around the kitchen table or in the hall. Everything is in walking distance and the staff is super helpful. I would stay there again!

Staying at the Bed and Be enriched my Cordoba experience! It's one of my favourite hostel all over the world and a reason for that is the welcoming and personal atmosphere. As an interior designer and practical person I enjoyed the little details which make the travelling life easier and relishable. Check out the tapas bike tour as it is great to meet other travellers and get a local insight. Last but not least: check out number 10 on the map you get when arriving!

Ancelotti feels pressure after defeat
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti admitted he felt "under pressure'' after his team slid to a 1-0 defeat at Wolves.
• Premier League round-up
• Premier League gallery
But the former AC Milan coach believes he remains secure in his post with the Blues, who stand nine points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United, having also played a game more.
Asked if he was confident he was the right man for the job, the Italian said: "Yes, I know this team very well and I'm sure that this moment will change and we will be able to fight for everything this season. I don't fear (for my job). I'm worried because the team doesn't reach the result. I think it's obvious we are not good enough in this moment.
"But the team has the skill, the ability, the character, the personality to move on. It's important to stay compact, to stay together and to work hard for each other.''
The former AC Milan boss admitted the decision over his future could be taken out of his hands, although he does not have a meeting planned with owner Roman Abramovich.
"It's not my decision. I hope I can continue this job, because I would like to stay here and I have a good relationship with the players and with the club,'' he said.
Ancelotti did not write off his side's title chances completely, but admitted they looked bleak.
"We can fight for a lot of things, nothing is lost in this moment,'' he said. "It's difficult to come back in the Premier League but we have the FA cup and the Champions League.''
The Chelsea boss claimed going behind so early in the game was key, Bosingwa unwittingly diverting the ball into his own net from almost on the goalline from a Stephen Hunt corner. His side had chances to level through Salomon Kalou, who fired a one-on-one opportunity wide, and Didier Drogba, who fired a snapshot against a post, but Wolves' first Premier League win over Chelsea was just reward for some resolute defending.
"The most difficult thing for us was we conceded the goal after five minutes,'' said Ancelotti. "It was not the right way to start the game, we wanted to start the game differently, but we conceded a goal from a little detail, I think we could have done better, and after that the game was very difficult.
"I think we had some opportunity to get back in the game but were not able to score. It's another defeat, at the moment it's very difficult.''
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy praised the effort of his players as they recorded a win which took them out of the bottom three.
"For effort and endeavour they never leave a drop on the pitch,'' he said. "They give me everything, for which I'm hugely thankful and proud of.
"We sometimes lack a bit of quality and sometimes make mistakes - and that's me included - but as a unit they're fabulous in terms of what they give me.
"We played 4-4-2 against the much-lauded 4-3-3 and I asked them to do certain things. You can ask them, but it's the players who deserve the credit and the plaudits for doing it. They have to work blooming hard to play that way and they did.''
McCarthy revealed he is also keen to sign Aston Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell, who had been expected to move to West Ham but was reportedly at Molineux for the game.
"I haven't spoken to him,'' said McCarthy. "If he's available and we can agree a fee and terms I would take him in a heartbeat. If that's the case we'll sign him.''

We are constantly on the move; walking, running, playing and working. Hectic schedules produce a tremendous amount of physical and mental stress, and as a result we continually search for ways to reduce tension in our lives.
Acupressure and Reflexology are ancient healing practices that have been relieving stress for people around the world for more than 4000 years.
Acupressure is as a drug-free form of managing and alleviating physical and stress-related conditions that uses many basic massage techniques, but focus on principles similar to acupuncture, such as using the thumb and fingers to find spots on your feet and hands which are considered to "reflect" important bodily organs.
There are over 7,000 nerve endings in the feet. These nerve endings are connected through the spinal cord and brain with all areas of the body. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine and the principles of Reflexology, appliying pressure to "acupoints" on the soles of the feet benefits other parts of the body that are connected through the nervous system. With its history rooted in "cobblestone walking", using acupressure mats or pillows is a popular way to stimulate acupoints, leaving you with a relaxed feeling of well-being.

I love this idea! It would be great to get these kinds of sets with a bunch of figures! I hope they make a new one where they up the scale of the underground command center to fit a warthog!
Love this set and highly recommend it!
I got this set for Christmas but it didn't come with figure or the top of the base overall this is a good set, five stars
One of my first sets, I really enjoy displaying minifigures in it, its a must-have
There comes a time in a Halo collector's life when the tabletop or carpet winds up being inadequate for showing off his arsenal. This is where the Battlescapes come in, and the inaugural model provides a good start.
The interchangeable "mesa" tile is somewhat cheaty in being affixed to the large plate, primarily to facilitate easy reconfiguration. It's not particularly capable of affixing anywhere on its own, and you can see it if you use it to cover up the bare metal patch on the corner opposite the outpost area - it holds on more via slide-under tabs than the standard studs.
The Orange CQB Spartan and his Mongoose will do well to roll around on the terrain with caution - not only is the Active Camo Brute afoot, but the Grunts already have their stickies lit! This is one of the line's earliest "activated" variants of Plasma Grenades, featuring four cast in unpainted translucent blue plastic.
Finally, there's the vehicle display rods. They're sadly not strong enough on their own to support anything much bigger than the "sold separately" Banshee depicted on the box, but the builds they CAN prop up, they do so quite well. The click prong system offers additional flexibility for when you don't need a craft really high in the air - just plugging in a base prong, ball joint, and adapter tile can put a Ghost at a comfortable height.
Get your hands on this set while it lasts; it pairs as well with more recent Battlescapes as it does with multiples of itself!

Jerrod Niemann Offers Advice to Aspiring Artists
Each year, hundreds of hopeful dreamers flock to Nashville for their chance at stardom. Having taken the long road, Jerrod Niemann shares one tip he picked up along the way to his 2010 No. 1 hit, "Lover, Lover":
"One of the best pieces of advice I received when I moved to Nashville was, for the learning phase — which you realize soon never ends — is to keep your ears open and your mouth shut," recalls the "Shinin' on Me" singer, who self-released his first album in 1999. "Once you finally have something to say, after keeping your mouth shut for a while, people actually care to listen. I kept my ears open and couldn't keep my mouth shut, so maybe that's why it took me 10 years. [laughs]"
The other key to success, Jerrod notes, is experience … and lots of it. Whether performing for a crowd of two or 2,000, every live show is a learning tool.
"There are some moments on stage that if something were to happen, and it were to be disastrous, normally you may run off the stage and jump off a cliff," he says. "But having the opportunity and experience of all these kind people who run fairs and clubs and honky-tonks letting you come play, you learn. You think you're paying your dues and you are, but it's also an education. Especially in Nashville, there are so many great musicians, great songwriters, and people who have been in the business so long that they can answer many questions. For me, the one thing I learned is when you're in the trenches, it's like going to school. But the great thing about country music is if you want to go to school, even as a kid, all you have to do is turn on the radio."
Jerrod's current single "Shinin' on Me" is in the Top 25 on the radio charts. His upcoming album, Free the Music, is due out Oct. 2.

Orofacial granulomatosis is a granulomatous disease of orofacial region, which can occur for a variety of reasons. The clinical features are highly variable and sometimes so insidious that signs and symptoms are not frequently severe to cause alarm. The lips are most commonly involved with persistent/recurrent swelling. The medical history is very important as Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis can present oral manifestation. Other causes like mycobacterial infection, foreign body reaction, fungal infection, and allergy were excluded with further investigation to establish diagnosis. Here and we report a case of orofacial granulomatosis with a review of the literature.
1. Introduction
Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by persistent or recurrent soft tissue enlargement, oral ulceration, and a variety of orofacial features. The term orofacial granulomatosis was proposed by Wiesenfield et al. in 1985. Focal granulomas may occur anywhere in the oral mucosa or in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin where they present as localized firm mass that are occasionally multinodular. When diagnosis of noncaseating granuloma is made microscopically, the patient should be evaluated for several systemic diseases such as crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, TB and the local processes (Table 1) that may be responsible for similar oral lesion has to be ruled out. Orofacial granulomatosis is a term which encompasses variety of clinical presentation that upon biopsy reveal presence of nonspecific granulomatosis inflammation. Here we report a case of idiopathic orofacial granuloma and the etiology, diagnostic approach and treatment of orofacial granulomatosis reviewed.
2. Case Report
A 40-year-old male patient reported to our OPD with complaint of swelling of lower lip. The patient gave a history of similar swelling 8 months back which was biopsied at another hospital and the report is unavailable. The medical history was noncontributory. Intraoral examination revealed diffuse swelling of lower lip (Figure 1). On palpation the swelling was nodular with diffuse margin, soft to firm in consistency. A provisional diagnosis of mucocele was made. Routine hematological examination was performed and all were with normal limits. Biopsy of the lip lesion revealed circumscribed aggregates of noncaseating granulomatous inflammation consisting of lymphocyte and epithelioid histiocytes with multinucleated giant cells. The granuloma consists of central aggregates of histiocytes with peripheral rim of inflammatory cells chiefly lymphocytes (Figures 2 and 3). The fibrous connective tissue showed areas of vascularity, multiple granulomas containing lot of giant cells suggestive of granulomatous lesion (Figure 4). Following this, patient was thoroughly investigated to rule out the list of granulomatous disease. Hematological investigation was performed for RBC count, differential count, platelet count, Hb%, ESR, serum folate, iron, and serum ACE (Angiotensin converting enzyme) levels were found to be within normal limits. The Mantoux test was negative. The chest radiograph did not reveal any pathology. Periodic acid Schiff stain for fungal organism and acid fast bacilli stain for mycobacteria were negative. No foreign material was detected. The patient gave no history of allergy. As the patient had normal hematological value and the medical history was not contributory for intestinal manifestation, further investigation for Crohn's disease was not undertaken.
The above investigation ruled out tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, fungal infection, and Crohn's disease. The diagnosis of idiopathic orofacial granulomatosis was made. The patient reported with recurrent swelling. The patient was treated with biweekly intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide with simultaneous topical clobetasol propionate for 4 weeks. On review patient showed improvement. On followup for a period of one year the patient showed no recurrences.
3. Discussion
The clinical and histopathological features of orofacial granulomatosis can be produced by a variety of underlying causes; this diagnosis is beginning of patient's evaluation [1, 2]. The conditions with granulomatous lesion histologically include Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, TB, hypersensitivity reaction, and angioneurotic edema [3] (Table 2).
In the present case the clinician's provisional diagnosis was mucocele and hence the lesion was submitted for histopathological examination. The clinical presentation of intraoral mucocele in some cases of sarcoidosis which led to its diagnosis has been reported [3].
On histopathological diagnosis of noncaseating granulomatous inflammation, systemic evaluation was undertaken. The hematological evaluation and chest radiograph ruled out sarcoidosis and tuberculosis [4, 5]. Since the patients hematological investigation was within normal limits and did not give history of signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort further investigation of colonoscopy and biopsy is not required [2, 6]. Investigations were performed to exclude diseases with similar clinical and histopathological feature. Orofacial granulomatosis is a disease with wide spectrum of clinical presentation. The causative agent in the present case is unknown; hence it is categorized as idiopathic Orofacial granulomatosis.
The exact cause of orofacial granulomatosis is still unknown, although several theories have been suggested including infection, genetic predisposition, and allergy [7]. The etiological agents such as food substances, food additives, dental material microbiological agents have been proposed, but its pathogenesis is uncertain. A delayed type of hypersensitivity reaction appears to play a role, but the antigen inducing immunological reaction varies in individuals. The evidence for role of genetic predisposition to disease is sparse. Tilakaratne et al. propose the term idiopathic orofacial granulomatosis as better term for cases restricted to oral region without any identifiable known granulomatous disease and diagnosis should not be changed until patient develops systemic manifestation of specific granulomatous condition [8]. The various treatment modalities include intralesional injection, topical and systemic steroids, and surgical excision [9].
4. Conclusion
Orofacial granulomatosis can be a distinct clinical disorder or can be an initial presentation of underlying systemic disease such as crohn's disease or sarcoidosis. Hence an early diagnosis of orofacial granulomatosis can identify an underlying disease as cases have been reported which had initial manifestation of orofacial granulomatosis. Hence followup for the patient is advised as a step in prevention of a possible systemic granulomatous disease.

Chinese Web Gamers at 51% Discount a Buy to Opennheimer
Chinese online gaming stocks trading at a 51 percent discount to the nation's equities listed in the U.S. is a signal to buy the shares on prospects the companies will use cash to pay dividends, according to Oppenheimer & Co.
Web game developers Shanda Games Ltd. (GAME), Changyou.com Ltd. (CYOU), Giant Interactive Group Inc. (GA), NetEase Inc. (NTES) and Perfect World Co. Ltd. traded at an average 6.7 times estimated earnings yesterday, compared with a multiple of 13.7 for stocks on the Bloomberg China-US Equity Index. (CH55BN) This gives them one of the most enticing valuations in the technology and Internet sector, Andy Yeung, a New York-based analyst at Oppenheimer, said by phone yesterday.
"Valuations are getting very low, and very attractive to investors," said Yeung, whose ratings on the companies range from market perform to outperform. "These companies are becoming value stocks."
Once the companies have developed the games they face low costs to offer them to players, helping boost their cash piles, according to Jeff Papp, an analyst at Oberweis Asset Management. That leaves the companies open to paying out shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, he said by phone from Lisle, Illinois yesterday.
Changyou boosted its cash from operations to $276.6 million in the fiscal 2011 year, from the $1.7 million in 2006. The Beijing-based company declared a special cash dividend of $3.80 in August for each American depositary receipt, following 14 percent growth in second-quarter profit that beat analysts' estimates.
'Shareholder Value'
NetEase authorized a share repurchase program of as much as $100 million in November, as well as a special cash dividend of $1 per American depositary share. The Beijing-based company more than tripled cash from operations through September last year from 2007.
"They can extract more shareholder value by paying out more recurring dividends," Papp said. "That's something that's going to happen more often and that can help attract more attention to the names." Oberweis holds shares of Giant Interactive, Changyou and NetEase.
Shares of Shanghai-based Shanda Games are trading 4.7 times its estimated profit, the lowest level among the five online game operators. The valuation of Beijing-based NetEase is 10.2 times its earnings, the highest among the five.
Online game operators are exposed to product-cycle risk and have come under scrutiny from the Chinese government, which has restricted the number of hours the games can be played by minors, Oppenheimer's Yeung said. These factors have made investors cautious on the sector, depressing valuations, he said.
Prices Gain
Perfect World (PWRD) surged 6.4 percent in New York to $12.68, the highest level since April 27, after adding 2 percent in 2012, less than the China-US gauge's 10 percent advance last year. Giant Interactive extended its rally to a sixth day, gaining 4 percent to $6.48, after climbing 33 percent last year.
Changyou.com jumped 3 percent to $29.12, the highest price since October 2011. Shanda advanced 0.6 percent in its third day of gains to $3.12, while NetEase added 1.4 percent to $43.4. After today's close, the stocks were trading at 6.9 times estimated earnings on average, shrinking their discount to the Bloomberg China-U.S. gauge to 50 percent.

Winnipeg zoo lassos pair of rare wild horses

Published Wednesday, October 17, 2012 8:54AM EDT
They're stockier than your average horse and a lot tougher to come by.
A Winnipeg zoo is now home to a pair of Przewalski's horses, an engaged subspecies of wild horses once thought to be extinct.
The male horses, both two-years-old, are the newest addition to the Assiniboine Park Zoo.
Originating in Mongolia, Przewalski's horses are smaller than most domestic horses, weighing between 440 to 750 pounds. They also have stockier bodies, standing between 1.2 and 1.4 metres high, with upright, zebra-like manes and a dark stripe down their backs.
"Przewalski's horses are quite rare, which makes this an even greater addition for our visitors since most have never seen them before," Tim Sinclair-Smith, the zoo's director of operations, said in a statement.
The breed is the last surviving subspecies of wild horse.
There are currently nearly 1,500 Przewalski's horses living in zoos and breeding facilities and another 400 can be found in the wild.
The horses are part of the Assiniboine Park Zoo's Species Survival Program.
Zoo officials said they hopes to expand the number of Przewalski's horses by acquiring female horses in order to participate in a breeding program.

(AP) DALLAS - The FBI says it suspects the mailings of hundreds of envelopes containing white powder over the last four years are the work of someone in Texas.
The FBI released a statement Wednesday saying the letters contain postmarks from North Texas and similar references to subjects such as al Qaeda and Nazis. A $150,000 reward is being offered for information leading to a conviction in the case.
More than 380 threatening letters in envelopes containing white powder have shown up across the U.S. and overseas since 2008. Last week, more than 20 were mailed to daycare centers, elementary schools and an aerospace-related business in Texas and other states.
Tests showed the powder wasn't hazardous.
The letters also have been sent to government offices, churches, schools, restaurants and U.S. embassies overseas.Occupy Wall Street denies link to May Day white powder bank scare

I bought a 200w power supply off of ebay Power Supply and did not get any instruction or anything. I got it to work but for some reason it will not survive a startup from my S-10. It has only a + and - for the power and no remote. I think it is supposed to be automatic but I was wanting to use a manual remote so I can hook it up to my alarm on my truck which will control other things. For now I have it hooked up to a regualr ATX mobo with some 1200 amd processor and 1 GB of ddr333 ram, nvidia 5600ultra (which needs a molex connector) 20gb hard drive and a DVD-RW drive. I tried unplugging the DVD drive and it stayed running but it like stalled out and the screen went blank. Also if I hibernate it, then try starting it, it won't come on until I unplug the positive cable for a few seconds then plug it back in. I don't know if it is automatically switching off the board or what it is doing. Coming home from work I heard a weird noise and my comp just turned off. Come to find out, one of the transformer looking things popped off the board. It looks like a bad soldering job so I am going to fix that tomorrow and see if maybe that is the reason for all of my troubles. I know my actual truck power is not an issue since I am using a optima battery and I have a 215amp alternator with 1/0 gauge wire going back to it. When I put my subs back in I will be getting a new battery because I will be running at least a 4kw-5kw amp to my subs. The subs ar MA audio 15" EHO quad voice coil subs. They will handle 5,000w rms and 10,000w peak per sub. My last amp I had messed up on me so I took the subs out and started this project. One other thing, this board looks realy close to alot of the other 200w boards out there but if you look at the side with the ATX plug you can see that the IC's are all placed differently. There are 2 of the transformer looking thins on the right and left of the board on the side with all the caps. the one on the left, by the battery wires, is the one that broke. I tried looking up the board number but got everything in Chinese and I translated it but still could not access any manuals that could tell me more about the board. If anyone has any info or has ever seen this board, your help will be much appreciated. I am going to mount the DVDrw drive into a old school nes case and mount that under the screen. The power button will be the power button for the comp. and the reset button will be the eject button and one of the controller ports will be hooked up to the com part so I can actually plug in a controller and play Nintendo or control my media player. I am also going to take a Legend of Zelda Cartridge and make a portable hard case out of it just for the coolness factor (sorry Link) I also have a Nokia N95 (The best cell phone ever!!) and I want to use the GPS on it with the computer via bluetooth. Oh yeah my screen is a 15" ELO touch-screen mounted vertically so I can use the lower half for the touchscreen keyboard and heater/AC controls. The heater and AC controls and going to be controlled by stepper motors and eventually I might just have the computer control all of the temperature settings. I'll just enter a temp and it will turn on the ac or heater until it is the right temp then turn off. My Viper alarm also has 6 programmable 12v solenoids that can either give power to, or just act as a switch for what ever I want. So in theory I can turn on the comp with my keychain, or if the alarm is set off I can set the solenoid to turn on the PC and screen, maybe playing some little video clip of a fingerprint scan from like resident evil or something like that. I know I wouldn't be messing with my truck anymore after setting off the alarm and the screen was showing some weird fingerprint scanning thing. Also if my truck is in range of a wireless network it would automatically send me a text message to my phone saying the alarm was tripped, just in case I am out of range with my keychain. The Viper alarm also has trip sensor inputs for like hood or trunk as well as some extra ones for whatever you might want to use them for. The sky is the limit with what I can think of using a computer in my truck for. I am also a storm chaser and live dopplar images do come in handy. Anyways that is that. I know its a long post but that is my project and any info is much appreciated.
