Building an Ar
I have a oracle 5.56 upper parts kit, I'm about to start puting everything together, my question is, if I wanted to change the gas block to a low profile one later, would I need a whole be gas tube, or will it fit the same?
AR gas tube differences are usually only tied to the length; (carbine, mid, rifle) A gas block change out shouldn't affect anything unless you have some otherwise exotic set up.

McCollum "Very Proud of Vote" on Obamacare
Teresa Collett, Republican candidate for congress in Minnesota's fourth district today challenged DFL Rep. Betty McCollum to explain her vote on Obamacare. The health care reform bill, which passed on a partisan democrat party line vote, has failed to provide coverage for those who are uninsured and increased the cost of health care coverage for small businesses and individuals. Minnesota based 3M announced on Friday that they will eventually stop offering its health insurance plan to its retirees, citing Obamacare as a reason. The released statement from 3M cited, "As you know, the recently enacted health care reform law has fundamentally changed the health care insurance market. In addition, health care reform has made it more difficult for employers like 3M to provide a plan that will remain competitive." 3M currently has over 23,000 retirees. When asked about Obamacare at the White Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce debate, McCollum stated that she was "very proud of that vote".
Iowa Senator Charles Grassley stated in the Wall Street Journal, "For all the employees who were promised they'd be able to keep their current benefits after the health care law passed, I'm worried that the recent changes we've heard about are just the beginning."
"I agree with Senator Grassley and when I am elected I will work to repeal Obamacare and replace it with affordable, patient-centered solutions to problems in our healthcare system," stated Teresa Collett.
Teresa Collett is a law professor at the University of St. Thomas, a wife and mother of three, an author, lecturer and advocate.

We have a duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 section 149 to collect and detain stray dogs. We also have the power to dispose of the dogs if they remain unclaimed. In the vast majority of circumstances unclaimed dogs are re-homed.
The law says that you must:
If you don't do one of these things, you may get a fine.
To report a stray, contact us on either of these telephone numbers:
We employ a local kennelling company to pick up and kennel all stray dogs on our behalf. As part of managing the contract we are confident that all strays are treated with care and compassion. The contractors will get to you as soon as possible. We aim to get to all reported strays within four hours of the report.
We collect and rehome about 180 stray dogs a year, at a cost to you, the taxpayer, of approximately £25,000 a year.
On average we rehome 98% of these dogs. Regrettably we do sometimes have to have dogs put down, usually on a vets advice or where the dog is just too aggressive to safely rehome.
We find it extraordinary that dog owners allow wonderful dogs such as Marley and Busby to stray. Anyone who owns a dog and who is struggling to keep it, for whatever reason, can find a new home for their animal without needing to abandon it.
We can advise on local centres who may be willing to help find a new home for your dog.
You must tell the dog warden that you would like to adopt the dog and provide them with your contact details and details of the dog. The officer cannot just hand the dog over to you, no matter how cute or in need of a good home it may seem.
We must give the owner 7 days to come forward to claim the dog. If the owner does not claim the dog then we can offer it for rehoming. Regulations require that the officer makes appropriate enquiries to make sure that you are a suitable person to keep the dog.
Details of all strays are put on-line as soon as possible and our kennel providers immediately start looking to re-home a dog once it arrives with them.
If you are keen to offer a new home to a stray then you can stay up to date with all local animals through PetsearchUK
Straying dogs will normally be rounded up and taken to the council kennels. Please contact us on the telephone numbers above and we will tell you if a dog matching the description you give has been collected.
Before we can let you have your dog back, you will have to pay a fee to cover kennelling, any veterinary fees and our administration costs. You must also arrange to collect the dog from the kennels. The total costs will depend on how long the dog has been kennelled for. Currently the costs start at £71.50 which covers the costs of the pick up, kennelling and a vaccine to prevent parvovirus.
We aim to collect all stray dogs within 4 hours of receiving a report.

Birth-Control Hearing Was Like Stepping Into a Time Machine

Birth-Control Hearing Was Like Stepping Into a Time Machine
Showing an enlarged photograph of the all-male panel at Rep. Darrell Issas committee hearing Thursday, a group of Democratic women senators took to the Senate floor today to protest the assault on women, for excluding a womens perspective during the session on contraceptives.
Reading the news this morning was like stepping into a time machine and going back 50 years, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said. Its a picture that says a thousand words, and its one that most women thought was left behind when pictures only came in black and white.
Democratic women senators today came to back them up in protest of the hearing.
Im disappointed. I know its a disappointment thats shared by millions of women across this country, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., said. Im saddened that here we are in 2012 and a House committee would hold a hearing on womens health and deny women the ability to share their perspective.

2. Jump the shark? The GOP did that years ago. What now?
I can't even come up with an analogy for what they are doing now. What are they thinking? (I know, they're not.) I'm "severely" appalled by their now-open war on women. If you surf the right-wing websites (as I have been known to do), you will realize that, yes, they DO want to ban contraceptives. Geez, even the whole Komen thing seems like a long time ago, given the onslaught they are unleashing in recent weeks in this election year.
All this at once can't be coincidence. I guess we have gotten a window into just how much the GOP values women's health issues, platitudes notwithstanding.

9. because they, like most other republicans, prefer hating and losing to not hating and winning
It's that simple, really. Stop hating, and stop seeking to take your hatred out on some group of "others", and you can't be a Republican any more. There's no place for you, no policy, no political positions.
And, of course, if you DO that - if you actually take that step to grow a little - you immediately recognize what a fraud the two-party system is. Without the hatred, there's dozens of ways to go. There are all kinds of workable ways to arrange a society, all kinds of acceptable compromises between different value systems, but there's only one other party, and they offer really similar economic policy, only with less hatred.
The worst thing about the right-wing extremists is that they have successfully, over some thirty years, moved the American "norm" FAR to the right, both of its previous trajectory and of the rest of the first world. If we could all stop pretending that this isn't the case, and that 'barely-to-the-left-of-witch-burning' isn't leftist enough to settle for.

I dunno if there's a name for it, but I recall the character in "Handmaid's Tale" who pushed theocracy and subjugation of women, then fell into shock and despair when she realized that SHE would also be subjugated.

25. So do I but their silence doesn't mean indifference
It's really up to us to fight this. They will support us. One of the things women made men understand during the Feminist movement was that we could do our own fighting. We weren't weak minded pretty little things who needed a man to do our fighting.
They learned that lesson. I know my son did. He has no problem watching me fight the war of ideas and justice and seeing me win, but would definitely step in if some man tried to get physical with me or started calling me names. My son has no problem with strong women. He even thinks it's natural.

58. it's indifference
Nothing at all to do with recognizing that women aren't weak little helpless creatures that need men to do their fighting for them.
IT. IS. INDIFFERENCE. It is indifference because birth control is not something high enough of their list of priorities to bother getting off the couch over for the simple biological fact that they themselves will never ever ever ever have to worry about getting pregnant. If it doesn't effect them personally then the male masses either simply can't be bothered or are already fighting on the wrong side.
And there is something somewhat logical about that. Which is why you aren't going to see straight people getting off the couch to protest marriage inequality and may even see some joining the fray on the wrong side. People only ever care enough about something when that something personally effects them. That's simply human nature.
Perhaps it makes you feel better to imagine that men remain silent on the issue of birth control because they were taught some time ago that women are strong enough to fight on their own without the help of men and are noblely allowing that to continue but it's wishful thinking. They simply do not care enough to be bothered or are embracing the wrong side.
The only reason we're even having to have women get into this fight is because of the indifference or outright objection to by men. If enough men were interested enough to join the fight or stop fighting on the wrong side there wouldn't BE any need for any fight.
You can never win ANYTHING without a loud majority and that is always going to mean men fighting along with us because without those men we will NEVER have a loud majority. Just as the GLBT community needs straights to loudly join them with their issue struggles, whites to loudly join racial minorities on theirs, etc.
I'm fucking PISSED that women are BACK having to fight this fight all over again because not enough women and men cared enough to fight to MAINTAIN what they already had just as I'm fucking PISSED that us worker drones are again having to fight for what we had already because too many worker drones couldn't be bothered enough to fight to MAINTAIN what they had finally won.

45. "No one with any brains wants to get in the way of angry women."
"No one with any brains wants to get in the way of angry women."
Wow! Just wow.
What an endorsement of the misogynistic, status quo. ~gasp!
I would like to ask you this:
If democratic men aren't advocating for us (women), now, vocally, are they really on our side?
Below you responded that "They will support us."
Really? Will they?
Our party, the Democratic Party, has been known to back the NON-CHOICE candidate.
I am writing a letter to both of my dem senators. Both male, btw. One is mostly a DINO & the other is slightly better. They are better than the alternative, I suppose.
Neither is up for reelection in 2012, so I imagine my plea to them, to speak out in favor of women & against the Issa circus, will fall on deaf ears.
And yet I think - wouldn't this be an ideal time for them to speak out? During an election cycle when neither of them has something on the line? Americans have a notoriously short memory. This would be the perfect time.
Yet, silence.
As a collective, our dems are weak. They have capitulated to the right since Reagan started his diatribe on all things liberal. They fear the media. And now, thanks to Citizens United, they fear losing corporate support.
I'm tired of dem leadership who are afraid of getting blood spattered on them.
Why do the ranks have to take it all?
Why do the ranks pay with blood & leadership doesn't ?

28. I'm sure they're supportive in the Halls of Congress and The Senate
At least most of the Democratic men are supportive. And we old Feminists taught them that we are quite capable of fighting our own fights. The last thing we want is to have to be protected or championed by men in order to get respect. No thanks. And most older Democratic men have learned this lesson. The younger Democratic men grew up with Feminist mothers and have complete confidence in our ability to win our cause. We already did it in the past 50+ years. The Church is simply the last blowhard Western organization trying to regain control which isn't going to happen. Not in the Western world.
Believe me. Democratic men are definitely supportive.
If someone attacks men on such a level would we be jumping in to protect them or would we have enough respect to let them do their own fighting and just play a supportive role.
We women are quite capable of fighting and winning this issue. We've already done it before and that was the hard one. This is a piece of cake once we get all riled up, which I think we are right now.
I sure am. Again.
I'm not going to attack the men who aren't attacking us. It would be stupid and a waste of energy to turn on those who are on our side. Let's go after those men who are represented by the men in that hearing. they are the enemy

13. Where are the Democratic men.....
.....in the Senate? They need to stand up now and back these women.
Reid needs to hold a hearing on women's health.
This behavior by the Republicans is surely of a piece with the latest Komen move. They truly want to defund women's reproductive health--and beyond this--they want progressive women to feel defeated and disempowered.

But they know, since that is what we old Feminists taught them, that we are more than capable of fighting this fight without them trying to rescue us. We aren't weak minded pretty little things who need a man to protect us. It's not an easy spot to be in, but I guarantee that almost all the Democratic men fully support us.

33. I find that to be a very sexist way of
Portraying these issues. And strategically, it is far less effective to limit the voices speaking out to one group. Just as many spoke out to support the labor movement in Wisconsin, everyone who is supportive should act here. No one denigrates labor leaders as "pretty and weak" because others have joined their cause.

first of all, I was indulging in a bit of sarcasm, given this pathetic man's actions.
Second, I think he apologized because of the media firestorm, not because of the "millions of women" telling him that wasn't a real apology. I think his misogyny runs deep, and I think he's too arrogant to realize it.

19. Why are they acting like there are no liberal women clergy?
Many Protestant denominations ordain women now, and 1/3rd of all current seminarians are women. There's even an interfaith clergy organization that works in support of reproductive freedom. This nonsense about only religious males having a voice here if frickin' ridiculous.

41. Why are they acting as though the 'clergy' should make women's choices?
I do not believe in religion making my choices. I have not been a member of a church in over forty years and do not want religious believers making choices for me or any women who does not follow religious precepts.
The religious fanatics in the GOP have tried to frame this as an assault on religious freedoms. Does that not include the right of those of us who do not follow a religion to make our own choices? Isn't is just as much an assault on the personal religious (or non-religious) choices if religious organizations can control the options even for those who don't believe as they do?
If as a non-believer I get a job for an business that happens to have an affiliation with a religious organization, why should the religious organization that I do not work for be allowed to dictate my health care choices?

But they wouldn't allow a woman's testimony because she wasn't a pastor. As if there were no such thing as female clergy, and the Democrats seem to agree by not putting forward any women clergy. It's bullshit patriarchy no matter how you slice it, though.

49. Oh, they did allow two female religious persons to speak - later
But only once the optics of the all male panel got a lot of press.
The Democrats handled this badly and still are. The Democrats are allowing this to be framed by the Republicans as a religious freedom issue when it is a women's health care issue.
But if the Republicans want to hash it out as a religious issue, then I think the point that not everyone believes this narrow, medieval view of contraceptive use. That a religious organization should not be able to dictate to employees working in a secular organization peripherally associated with that religion what they can get for healthcare. That not all "contraceptives" are used for the purpose of contraception - many times they are necessary for other reasons - such as the case the young law student was prepared to testify about.
Of course, since the Republicans control the House, those arguments will not be made there, but the Democrats are not doing a good job of making them to the media. Or the media is not allowing them to make it - they'd rather do all day coverage of the death of a diva instead of an issue that could cause the deaths of thousands of women.
I really wish the Democrats would stop letting the Republicans blindside them this way. We all know what the game is but the Democrats are like Charlie Brown with the football.
We should have had liberal female clergy ready to testify to how this was not against THEIR religion and how it would affect women's healthcare if the views of a very few are allowed to dictate the lives of all. I'm sure the Democratic members of the House could have found some women qualified and eager to make that case. But the men who are supposed to be on our side sat there mute while the women could only walk out and boycott the hearings.

23. Most of this argument isn't in the right place. Resolution requires that the
following be addressed.
1. Does the Constutition grant Congress (throough Article I) or the President (through Article II) the authority to make this decision.
If it rests with Article II (and that's unlikely), the debate is over because Congress would lack the authority to to limit inherent Presidential authority without a Constitutional amendment.
2. If it's extended to Congress via Article I (more likely), has there been a Constitutional delegation of powers to the Executive Branch. Plenty of Presidential actions have been struck down because Congress lacked the authority to delegate certain powers, or had the authority but failed to do so Constitutionally.
These are probably going to be decided when the USSC rules on HCR this spring. It's uncertain what Justice Kennedy will decide, but likely that he will be the dispositive vote.
Finally, if it passes the above, the other Constitutional question will be if the decision runs up against, or is supported by, Constitutional powers of the states, or rights of the people. If so, how must they be balanced to pass Constitutional muster.
I said "Finally" because it's highly unlikely that the USSC (any USSC actually) would look at everything and jump to a decree a fundamental right to uncompensated reproductive care - quite a leap from Griswald v. Connecticut (381 U.S. 479 (1965), the case that established that birth control decisions between married couples was none of the governments' business (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griswold_v._Connecticut). If it's ultimately legal, then the question of course shifts from "can you" to "should you" and that falls to a political question that the courts avoid as the lane in the road for elected branches of government. In that case, it falls back to what provisions are put in various statutes and can bounce back & forth with the political seasons.

Ex-gangster out of jail
A Glasgow gun-runner who wrote a book while serving a seven-year sentence has been released from prison.
Paul Ferris, 38, has previously said he will turn his back on crime.
Ferris, whose "Ferris Conspiracy" sold 20,000 copies while he was in Frankland Prison, County Durham, was driven to an unknown destination in a dark green Mercedes driven by co-author Reg McKay.
The former gangster was jailed for 10 years, two-thirds of which he served, at the Old Bailey in 1995. Two co-accused were each given five years.
"There have been quite a few significant events - most importantly the compilation of The Ferris Conspiracy with Reg McKay.
"There are other issues I will be willing to talk about but obviously I have to get back to Glasgow to see the probation officer and we will get a chance to speak some other time but today's not appropriate."
'Lacks authenticity'
Before Ferris's release, Mr McKay said the pair had several books in draft form. The second, titled Deadly Divisions, is due out in March.
Mr McKay went on: "Paul has said goodbye to being a criminal and wants to draw on his experiences and his knowledge of the underworld to write about crime instead.
"He feels, as I do, that a lot of crime fiction is fabricated. Although there is a lot of good crime fiction around, much of it lacks authenticity.
"We are determined to make crime fiction as realistic as possible."
Mr Ferris was once an enforcer for the notorious Thompson crime family in Glasgow.

LONDON (Aug. 28)
A plan for a Jewish state to be established by Rumania and Poland on their mutual border was reported today by the Sunday Chronicle, which asserted that the scheme had been forwarded to king carol by polish and Rumanian Jews.
The paper said that 30,000 square miles would be allocated for the state, including parts of southern Poland and the Bukowina province of Rumania, which would be able to accommodate 5,000,000 Jews. The state would have a local Jewish government under the political control of Rumanian and polish governors.
If Russia joins, the report said, she is expected to contribute part of Ukrainia, including kamaniec and Proskurov. The Chronicle asserted that the gesture would be backed by a demand for a big loan to be granted by western powers to Poland and Rumania, while the cost of transporting Jews to the state would be defrayed by international Jewish financiers.

Chelsea through to Champions Cup final
Chelsea will face Real Madrid in the final of the International Champions Cup after defeating AC Milan 2-0 in their semi-final on Sunday.
Goals to Kevin De Bruyne and Andre Schurrle continued Chelsea's impressive pre-season run, with the Blues preparing to clash with Jose Mourinho's former side on Wednesday.
Chelsea dominated proceedings early, with Branislav Ivanovic involved in a flurry of early chances, his header from an Oscar free-kick flashing just wide.
De Bruyne had his 19th-minute strike ruled out for offside and Ivanovic did well to clear as Mario Balotelli looked set to score down the other end just minutes later.
Oscar fired wide shortly before De Bruyne opened the scoring in the 29th minute, rounding off a neat passing move by taking a pass from Eden Hazard and sidefooting home from 16 yards.
The chances continued for the Blues in a second half which again saw boss Jose Mourinho take the opportunity to use his entire squad.
After Ramires had unselfishly tried to set up Romelu Lukaku in injury time, Chelsea got their second goal when Schurrle impressively volleyed home from 15 yards after receiving the ball from Moses.
In Sunday's other match, Valencia eased to a 4-0 rout over Inter Milan in the losers' semi-final.
Walter Mazzarri's woes continued just weeks out from the Serie A season, with the Nerazzurri now forced into a seventh-placed playoff against Juventus.
It took just seven minutes for Valencia to open the scoring, with Ever Banega darting through the Inter defence and curling the ball into the top right corner of the net.
The Spanish side doubled their lead in the 34th minute when Jonathon Viera pounced on a loose ball from a corner and had his shot deflected in off Marco Andreolli.
Valencia rounded out the victory with second-half goals to Jonas and Viera and will now face Everton for fifth-place on Tuesday.

Impossible Subjects:
This book traces the origins of the "illegal alien" in American law and society, explaining why and how illegal migration became the central problem in U.S. immigration policy—a process that profoundly shaped ideas and practices about citizenship, race, and state authority in the twentieth century. Mae Ngai offers a close reading of the legal regime of restriction that commenced in the 1920s—its statutory architecture, judicial genealogies, administrative enforcement, differential treatment of European and non-European migrants, and long-term effects. She shows that immigration restriction, particularly national-origin and numerical quotas, remapped America both by creating new categories of racial difference and by emphasizing as never before the nation's contiguous land borders and their patrol.
"[A] deeply stimulating work. . . . Ngai's undeniable premise--as pertinent today as ever--is that the lawfully regulated part of our immigration system is only the tip of the iceberg. Even as we have allowed legal immigrants, mostly from Europe, through the front door, we have always permitted others, generally people of color, to slip in the back gate to do essential jobs."--Tamar Jacoby, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"'Legal' and 'illegal,' as Ngai's book illustrates, are administrative constructions, always subject to change; they do not tell us anything about the desirability of the persons so constructed."--Louis Menand, New Yorker
"Ngai pulls no punches, arguing that in most cases . . . illegal [immigrants] were stigmatized by negative racial stereotypes and branded as dangerous. . . . [I]t belongs in every library and should be referenced in every ethnic studies course."--Choice
"May Impossible Subjects indeed lead to bold changes? Ngai creates that possibility, through altering our vision of immigration history, in showing us the constructed and contingent nature of its legal regulation. Impossible Subjects is essential reading."--Leti Volpp, Michigan Law Review
"Ngai's book is a stunning piece of scholarship. . . . [F]or background reading of 'illegal immigration' that takes a broader view, this is an outstanding book."--David M. Reimers, International History Review
"Ngai has produced a valuable reinterpretation of twentieth-century American immigration history, one that will push other scholars of race, immigration, and policy in new directions as well."--Charlotte Brooks, Journal of American History

Miette is a little overly precious to me. It turns an elegant and regal Calla into a princessy affair. But maybe that's because I live near San Francisco and there is a sort of famous bakery there called Miette. Calla Miette feels very cupcakey to me, but maybe that's because of my regional context.

I have to agree with many of the other posters. Calla is a lovely name, but I don't really like Miette with it, sorry. I don't think the two names together have the best sound, and the word in french is just crumb - there are no sweet or beautiful connotations to the word in french.
But again, Calla is a really beautiful name, and how nice that it will be linked to your grandmother. I think you can find a much more lovely french name to go with it, if that is what you're looking for!

I suppose it is a middle name, and no one has to hear it, and yet - I wouldn't want it as a middle for myself as a grown woman.tea drinker + cat lover + ever-evolving baker+cook...positive realist who loves beautiful words, names, and images.

Wray 'sorry' over Robins exit
Departing Swindon chairman Jeremy Wray has admitted his disappointment at being unable to complete the club's three-year plan.
Last Updated: 15/10/12 2:42pm
Departing Swindon chairman Jeremy Wray has admitted his disappointment at being unable to complete the club's three-year plan.
Wray, who was instrumental in the capture of the Italian manager Paolo Di Canio, has rejected the club's offer to remain on the board after being replaced by Sir William Patey, former British ambassador to Afghanistan.
Wray said in a club statement: "Having met Sir William, I am confident he will bring great value to the board of STFC, but, after much reflection, I have concluded that it would be inappropriate to accept the offer to remain on the board and as such intend to terminate my engagement with the club.
"When I agreed to take over as chairman it was on the understanding that the board would confirm the appointment of Paolo Di Canio as manager and would commit to a three-year plan to support him, his management staff and players in the attempt to achieve promotion back to the Championship.
"I am proud to have overseen significant progress towards this goal and privileged to have stewarded the club through one of the most exciting periods in its history.
"Given my commitment over the last 18 months, I am obviously sorry not to see the project through to completion, but am confident that the club is in excellent shape to achieve back-to-back promotions."

* Prices may differ from that shown
I love this hoover! You might think it's made to be so attached to a hoover, but before this I was using my mother in law's old dyson (she actually hated the dyson and bought a henry too) and I really struggled. It was heavy, unwieldly, confusing and did lose suction too frequently.
Eventually we got fed up and purchased the henry xtra for about half the price of the dyson and had our fingers firmly crossed.
We've not once had a problem with it, and during the time we have had it we have also done a lot of renovation work on the house so this has been used to hoover up chunks of brick and plaster and an amazing about of builders dust. Although henry did look a little worse for wear after all the building work, it is designed very simply so is very easy to wipe clean again.
It does come with about 5 attachments, different brushes etc, but I have to say that quite often I use the hose with no attachment on it as this is really good for hoovering up a contained spillage e.g. food that my toddler has dropped. The main floor attachment can be flipped with an easy nudge of the toe to suit either carpet or hard floors (wood or tile). There are two settings on the hoover, normal and powersaving (so the suction isn't as strong) but to be honest I don't really see the point of this and I tend to only use it on the higher setting. The power cord is a good length and has a feature where it can unwind itself further if you are pulling th hoover along. This is great as you don't have to unplug and move the hoover everytime you go into a different room.
I have only once had a problem with this losing suction and that was when I accidentally hoovered up a sock. This had got wedged in the pipe and was easy to get to by simply taking the attachment off the hose. As I said before, it can cope well with almost anything that you want to hoover up.
One downside is that neither of my two local supermarkets stock the replacement hoover bags, so I tend to stock up every now and then when going to the hardware store. The bags do not need changing very frequently and when you do have to it is a simple job, as the top of the hoover clips off and on very easily.
Numatic Henry Xtra HVX 200-22
Has 2.38gallon bag capacity cleans all areas well. Great sucky sucky.
So does a bang up job on cleaning the toughest surfaces. I was well impressed.
My daughter has one and while I was staying with her I had ample opportunity to give this little darling a test drive as it were.
What did I make of it?
It did a very good job on the carpets so much so that it very nearly took them too. It cleaned off all the kiddies mess and the dog hairs were destroyed without trace. Impressive. Great suction and lift. Worked well on carpets of all types and the smooth floors of the kitchen and bathroom areas too.
Removing the bag was simple and straightforward and changing these were easy. Although my daughter managed to obtain a reusable variety.
Don't know whether this came with or she adapted it from a previous hoover.
either way this worked well too.
Saved on mess and believe me I have used some messy hoovers before in my time. I personally have a bagless variety and this is good too but you have to remove the whole container and take it too the bin to get rid of all the build up. Messy.
So this hoover made a nice cleaner change.
Would I buy one when my own hoover dies a death?
Yes I would without a shadow of doubt I believe the cost to be around £180 - £210 but it would be worth every penny.
Easy to use not too heavy and can drag it about from room to room without too much hassle cleans well and sucks up anything what more could you want.
Loads of tools for the crevises and curtains too.
We bought this hoover from Argos for about £140.00 round about a year ago and it's not once let us down. As a household with kids and many pets including 2 cats and a very hairy dog we opted for the Henry Xtra. Pet hairs are no problem for this hoover, we actually find it so powerful that when hovering the rug of pet hairs we keep the setting on low otherwise it tries to suck up the rug as well. We have found on many occasions that Henry has eaten one of the children's socks that have been left lying around and it still doesn't lose suction.
We have many floor surfaces including stone floor, floorboards, carpets and laminate flooring and it is fantastic for all of them. We can drag it from one surface to another with no problems at all. We actually have two different hoovers (the wife doesn't like carrying it up and down the stairs!) and we have decided that when the other branded hoover breaks we will be replacing it with another Henry.
Henry comes with five attachments which include a turbo brush, dusting brush, crevice tool, floor nozzle and upholstery tool and there is even a bag supplied to put them in. The power cord is so long that we don't have to keep unplugging it to go from room to room which saves you so much time. You can buy the replacement bags from Argos for about £6 and they are very easy to take out and change.
The only downside to this hoover is that we find it very noisy and quite heavy, however, having said that I would still highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice powerful hoover that will suck up all the pet hairs (and the odd sock) with no problems at all.
I don't really like cleaning and was looking for something simple, easy and fun to use to get the job done. The Henry Xtra does all of these things and for a first-time buyer I was really impressed.
As I own animals, I wanted a hoover that could provide me with some kind of odour control to stop my house from smelling like a pigsty. Now, you'll be surprised to know it comes with a filter system that is supposed to help with this, and it must work as since I've been using it, my house isn't smelling as bad as it used to.
The suction is great. It's only a small machine but doesn't it pick up dirt well. What I found amazing is it even picks up those little flicky bits that seemed to be glued to the carpet. In twenty minutes hoovering, I nearly finished the whole house.
The aesthetics are very pleasing. As vacuum cleaners go, it's a pretty nice to look at and actually makes me smile whenever I get it out to do the dreaded hoovering. It boasts a solid design. It actually fell down the stairs and seemed unfazed. It's very robust for it's size.
It's very easy to move around. Transferring from carpet to wood, you don't even notice it. The manufacters didn't get stingy when it came to cable length. I only needed to change plug sockets when I went from downstairs to upstairs and vice versa.
The automatic cable rewind is a very nice touch. It makes storing quick and easy, as I could go from hoovering to packing away in less than a minute.
Downsides, I don't know if this was a fault of my machine or generally, but I found if I pulled it too hard by the spout, it would actually come off. Also, I wouldn't say it is a quiet vacuum cleaner. It seemed to be noticeably louder after emptying out the contents than beforehand.
So if you want a hoover that picks up dirt easy, you will have to make a few sacrifices as it won't be quiet and the noozle may come off if pulled, but on the whole it recieves my recommendation.
Like the original Henry Hoover this a truely excellent, high powered hoover.
It has the same look as the regular Henry, the only difference really being that it says Henry extra on it and has a red foot instead of a black one and is roughly around £3o more expensive.
This hoover comes with upholstery nozzle, crevice tool, dusting brush and air turbo power brush.
If I am honest, yes, it is a great hoover but I was extremley happy with regular Henry and dont see Henry extra to have all that much extra really other than price and a little bit more suction with the air turbo power brush which makes it great for pet hair.
My mum has had regular Henry for a couple of years and I always thought it was great so when I was buying one I though I may as well get Henry extra but would have been as happy with the regular model.
Watts - 1200
Capacity - 9.0l
Cord - 10m
Weight - 6.9 kg
Hepa - No
Hose - 2.4m
All stats are the same for regular Henry other than he is a Hepa hoover.
I bought my Henry extra for £136.99 from Argos and the original Henry is on averge around £100 in different stores

Sexist Goodyear Commercial from '70s
Ahh, 1970. It was a very
Goodyear bad year for women and being taken seriously. This Goodyear ad for polyglas tires, which is set up like a horror film complete with a menacing soundtrack, claims that "when a woman's at the wheel, polyglas means more than mileage." Alert the press! Woman on the road! Hide your children! The earth may spin off its axis! (No wonder the '70s was a huge decade for the women's movement.)
Thanks, Feministing!

Kansas Democratic Party Chair Joan Wagnon issued a statement following the release of a Survey USA poll of Kansas voters that showed Sam Brownback's disapproval rating spiking to 58%, a ten point increase since SurveyUSA's last Kansas poll in July of 2012:
"Sam Brownback can't hide from the truth: his policies are hurting Kansas families and they know it. Brownback has raised sales taxes, slashed funding for our schools and universities, and pulled support from our most vulnerable Kansans, children living in poverty. Governor Brownback promised to protect education funding, but then made the largest cut to education in Kansas history. Governor Brownback promised to fight poverty, but poverty continues to grow on his watch. Governor Brownback promised more jobs for Kansans desperate for work, but unemployment is on the rise. The only promise Governor Brownback has kept is his promise to give tax breaks to the wealthy and well-connected. Common sense Kansans want a leader who will put Kansas families first and keep his word – and Governor Brownback has done neither. Kansans are ready to get Kansas back on track and that means getting rid of Sam Brownback."
Brownback performed poorly across the board, but did especially poorly with independents and moderates. 68% of independent voters and 76% of moderate voters said they disapproved of the job Sam Brownback was doing as governor. Brownback's poor performance also extended to both men and women and all ages groups, with a majority of all age groups and a majority of both men and women disapproving of Brownback's job performance.
In addition to a 58% disapproval rating, the SurveyUSA poll found that Brownback's personal favorability is also at an all time low. Only 22% of Kansans had a favorable opinion of Sam Brownback, with 15% of independents saying they had a favorable opinion of Brownback and a shocking 35% of all Kansas Republicans saying they had a favorable opinion of Brownback.

What Do You Do If You Get Sick?
Business By annakat444 Updated 26 Sep 2013 , 9:39pm by scrumdiddlycakes
I had this happen this week and am just wondering what type of backup measures you have in place for your orders if you get sick. I was supposed to do a birthday cake for tomorrow, and yesterday I spiked a really high fever and it wiped me out, and I still feel awful today. Fortunately, I have a friend from church who does cakes and she's doing it for me. I gave her what I'd already baked and she's baking the last tier and decorating today.
Anyone can do a birthday cake, but what if it was a wedding cake or something really elaborate? What do you do??
ASuck it up and do it anyway. Unless it's a stomach bug, then I don't know what I'd do - never had it happen.
AIt's usually a good idea to develop a network of reputable licensed cake decorators in your area ahead of time so you can hand off an order if there is an emergency.
Just went through that recently - it's really grueling to keep going when you're sick.
About a year ago I had a stomach thing and there was no way I could work. We found people to do the cakes, but one of them upgraded the cake because she just couldn't imagine charging that much for cake and not have the customer getting a lot more than what she was going to get from me. It just goes to show that even smacking someone in the face with the fact that she's undercharging doesn't work. Explaining this to her was like trying to have a conversation with a cat. I lost that customer who no doubt was grateful to have been saved from my "overcharging".
The moral is don't get sick.
I made friends with a few other local decorators, we have an arrangement that if one gets sick/has an emergency, we will cover for them. We match each others prices in these cases, and don't make any changes to the order. (Howseet, I would have been SO mad!)
It might mean taking a bit of a loss, but in the long run it's worth it, it's saved all of us at least once.
I have some serious health issues that land me in the hospital now and then, I have been very lucky in that it always seems to happen the beginning of the week, lol. If it's not bad enough for the hospital, I suck it up and make myself work anyway. I haven't been 'contagious' sick since H1N1 first hit, thank goodness, but I wouldn't even consider working on someone's cake if I was.

A good-sized black whale drifted onto the beach at the foot of Main Street last Thursday and ever since has been an object of interest to many sight-seers. It is said to be of the sulphur-bottom variety and is 20 feet in length.
How to get rid of it is a question that is considerably agitating the mind of Mr. Chalmers of the Point. For some reason or another he doesn't seem to like the strange visitor, neither does anybody else down there. An attempt is to be made to tow it off with a small boat and if that fails, Mr. Chalmers is going to make it the centre of a bonfire. Anything to get rid of it say the men working where it is beached. Why? Why, because it is dead dead as a mackerel dead a long time, and as for the smell well, that's about as bad as one of Hearst's editorials about the Mexican war.
Clifton Boyle, Charles Hurley and Arthur Daniels, departed for Ukiah Thursday to attend the semi-annual track and field meet of the Northwestern Sub League. This meet promises to be the largest ever held in Northern California and two new schools have entered for the contest.

Jeannette May "Jane" Stuart, 76, died April 28, in a Fort Bragg hospital where she had been admitted the day before. Mrs. Stuart was born in Oakland, Nov. 25, 1888 and moved to Point Arena, 32 years ago. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Smith at one time owned the Point Arena hotel and later the Smith ranch on the Garcia river.
On Sept. 4, 1907, she was married to William Stuart, in Oakland. They came to Point Arena to make their home in 1932. They were both employed in the local Post Office, from which Bill was retired as postmaster in 1957, and Jane retired in 1959.

Little River Inn began its second half century Sunday, April 30, with a joyous celebration that brought hundreds of guests for a chicken barbecue, music, prizes and remembrance in the spring sunshine.
In its 50 years, the venerable inn has been host to two U.S. presidents, movie stars, business tycoons, celebrants of every event, parents and children and wayfarers. Some guests return every year.
The Inn's entire 50 years has been under the ownership of Ole Hervilla and wife, Cora, whose grandfather, Silas Coombs, built the main house as his home in 1854.
The Inn is a standout in many respects: Ole's hotcakes from the recipe of his Swedish mother ... the memory of wonderful Alice Abbott, caretaker of guests for 20 years ... the fact that 80 percent of the guests are repeats, some for many years ... the night Actress Jane Wyman tended bar ... Comedian Jonathan Winters entertaining dinner guests with his marvelous comedy.

Wouldn't be nice to step out of the kitchen into the backyard and harvest some fresh lettuce, tomatoes, blueberries, figs or peaches? If fresh blackberries for cobbler or red sweet, or hot, peppers for stuffing or salsa are on a future menu, stop dreaming and get to planting.
Now is time to plant or at least make preparations for growing your own groceries. Let's start with fruits. A basic need is a sunny location with enough room. Some fruiting plants don't take up too much space, like blueberries or blackberries, while tree fruits need more room.
If space is at a premium, consider incorporating a fruiting shrub or tree into your existing landscape beds or hedgerow. Blueberries grow to be good sized shrubs, but can also be pruned to control height and width. Besides a summer crop of fruit, blueberries have attractive blue-green foliage which turns attractive shades of orange, red and bronze in the fall.
Another space-saving technique is to grow fruits in a 2-dimensional plane. This is called espalier, where trees and vines are trained from youth on a sturdy trellis or close to a wall. Not only does this save space, but can also increase fruiting of some crops like apples and pears. This requires more attention to pruning and training, but also can result in an attractive addition to your landscape.
Some fruits need more than one variety to ensure adequate pollination and fruit set. Blueberries, apples, pears and most plums need more than variety nearby. Peaches, figs, blackberries and oriental persimmons can produce by themselves.
February is an ideal time to purchase and plant all fruiting shrubs, vines and trees, and nurseries are stocked with plants ready to plant. Planting now allows the roots to get established while the temperatures are cooler and soil moisture is adequate. While some types require little training after planting, others, like peaches, grapes and apples need annual pruning to develop a good structure that will produce and support an abundant load of fruit.
Vegetables. February is also time to plant cool season vegetable crops (ones which need to mature before the heat of summer arrives), and also time to get ready for summer vegetables. Again, look for the sunniest spot to locate your vegetable garden. Cool-season, leafy crops like spinach, lettuce, collards, mustard, onions, etc. can get by with less than all day sun. But, fruiting veggies like beans, tomatoes, peppers and squash will be most productive if given all-day sun.
What if the sunniest spot is on your patio? Then garden in containers. Raised bed gardening is a fun and convenient way to grow vegetables. My garden is mostly in large wooden boxes scrounged from industrial sites – they may not last long, but they are also free. Nearly anything can be grown in containers if they are large enough, though vigorous vining crops like watermelons and cantaloupes might be exceptions since they need lots of room to roam.
Right now you should be planting asparagus, onions, Irish potatoes, radishes, collard and mustard greens, lettuce, spinach, sugar snap peas, carrots, broccoli (plants), cabbage (plants), cauliflower (plants), Swiss chard, beets and turnips. These are short term crops and will be finished when the heat of summer arrives. Wait until mid-March to plant tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans and other frost-sensitive crops.
For more information on growing your own groceries, visit my web site (easttexasgardening.tamu.edu – note: no "www") where I have articles on fruits and vegetables, including a planting dates chart for vegetables, plus links to fact sheets and other references on specific fruits and vegetables.

I not ashamed of admitting that I do not know everything about everything J
For example, I didn't know that well what the method MemberwiseClone() method does.
So, first step was to check the MSDN documentation, found here.
"Object.MemberwiseClone Method"
This gives the following explanation;
The MemberwiseClone method creates a shallow copy by creating a new object, and then copying the nonstatic fields of the current object to the new object.
If a field is a value type, a bit-by-bit copy of the field is performed. If a field is a reference type, the reference is copied but the referred object is not; therefore, the original object and its clone refer to the same object.
For example, consider an object called X that references objects A and B. Object B, in turn, references object C. A shallow copy of X creates new object X2 that also references objects A and B.
In contrast, a deep copy of X creates a new object X2 that references the new objects A2 and B2, which are copies of A and B. B2, in turn, references the new object C2, which is a copy C.
Use a class that implements the ICloneable interface to perform a deep or shallow copy of an object.
Which to me is not is that clear and further research didn't give any good examples, so I created my own in order to see what it does.
And without any attempt to explain what is going on, here it is. Feel free to test as you like.
Hopefully this should be self-explanatory.

Manager manager1 = new Manager();
manager1.Name = "Mary Maryson";

How bad it would be if we made LockBufferForCleanup() not wait? If we can't obtain the buffer cleanup lock immediately, we just skip that page and continue on.

KEY St Kilda stars Nick Riewoldt and Lenny Hayes will miss the Saints' pre-season clash against Sydney on Sunday.
The pair also skipped round one of the pre-season competition, meaning it's likely they will start the season proper with just two matches under their belt.
St Kilda coach Scott Watters says the two veterans will be available for the final two rounds of the pre-season, and is upbeat they will be match fit in time for Round 1.
"Nick's going extremely well ... generally those players are tracking well and on course for where we want them to be," Watters said.
"They'll potentially play (rounds) three and four (of the pre-season)."
Watters said St Kilda was more focused on its premiership-season team the deeper the club moved into the warm-up competition.
"I think it would be fair to say that most clubs in NAB (Cup rounds) one and two still have a strong development focus," Watters said.
"They still want to expose younger players and some players who are potentially on the fringe trying to challenge for selection.
"But as you move through the NAB campaign by the time you get to three and four you're getting a lot closer to the side you want on the park for Round 1."
He said St Kilda would still leave the bulk of their experienced players out of the line-up for this Sunday.
"We'll still have a number of younger players out there this weekend.
"We're able to bring back in Sean Dempster, Sam Fisher and Rhys Stanley - they will come in for modified game time.
"But there are probably eight or nine players that we would consider for our best side who won't play this week."
Watters welcomed the news Saints midfielder Jack Steven has signed a two-year contract extension, ensuring he will remain with the club until at least the end of 2015.
"Jack is a key component of our midfield this year ... (he) is ready for greater responsibility and challenges," Watters said of the 22-year-old.
And he stood by the Saints' decision to sack defender Jason Gram last year due to a series of off-field indiscretions.
Gram told the Herald Sun exclusively today he did not deserve to be fired and plans to try to return to the AFL.
But it won't be back at St Kilda, with Watters saying he would not be "a good fit" in the side now.
Watters said he would prefer that Gram was still playing for the club, but his actions made it impossible for them to continue to support him.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Central Criminal Court issued sentenced to death against a criminal for being affiliated to the armed groups and being involved in kidnap and murder crimes in Baghdad.
The Supreme Judicial Council reported in statement received by IraqiNews.com on Monday "The criminal and his armed group murdered a citizen while he was driving his vehicle heading towards his house in Abu Gharib district."
"This group is implementing sectarian terrorist operations and kidnap crimes in Abu Gharib district aim to disturb security and stability among citizens, "the statement added.
The statement pointed that "The evidences collected in the case, represented by the clear confession of the criminal during investigation, were enough to criminalize him according to the Anti-Terrorism law for first charge, and according to the law article 4/1 of 2/1/8 for kidnap charge," stressing that "The verdict is initial and subject to appeal by the Federal Appeal Court." \

You probably read this article two weeks ago (if not, click here please).
Read the summary of the article - it takes just six seconds.
Is this not the complete, unfettered opposite of the #omnichannel strategy you're being told you must execute? You are being told everything must be integrated into a monolithic festival of delight ... right?!
The right tactic, of course, is to do what is best for your customer. If your customer wants stores turned into digital distribution centers, have at it. Or your customer might want the exact opposite. Either way, do what is best for the customer, not what helps thought leaders generate page views.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hi there,
Have you tried Netflix.com?
I am sorry Marco. It should say free. I have Netflix streaming but the movies are too old.
the only free one
would be youtube
sometimes people upload movies to it
but they take them down fairly quickly
are you still there?
That is not correct. onchannel.net will let you watch free current movies ,The Heat for instance.
Loads of crap are downloaded on your computer when you get the player however.
yes but we are unable to provide you with this information as it's illegal
this chat is public
Really? I am an older guy and not in tune with what is or is not legal. The site was advertised so I tried it and got angry with the additional stuff. Why is it illegal?
I assumed because all the other programs downloaded on your computer they compensated whomever for the movie.
because you need to purchase the movies to watch it
no that's not the case due to copyright issues
there are some websites that illegally stream movies for free to try to get people to visit their website and display advertisements
they get paid for the advertisements but they do not pay the movie companies
that's why with netflix, you pay a fee and you get to watch the movies that they have rights to stream
The site says it has been operationg since 2011.
If you read the T&C "ONchannel.Net does not host, provide, archive, store, or distribute media of any kind, and acts merely as an index (or directory) of media posted by other webmasters on the internet, which is completely outside of our control."
OK i read that. So netflix is it. Thanks.
no problems
