Hey guys, My dad is looking to get a .22 revolver. This will be mostly jsut a plinker, but at the same time, he is like I am. What good is an unloaded gun? Right? Well I know that a .22lr is decent (I carry one in semi-auto for a truck gun), but we were wondering how much better is a .22mag? I know that it packs a good bit more punch, but how much more? Also, what is the price of mag ammo vs. lr? Lots of folks look down upon rimfire, but with a good quality ammunition, it's just as reliable and affective as anything else out there, but I wanna know more about the .22 magnum. Thanking you in advance for all your input.

.22WMR is a good deal more expensive than .22LR, but there hasn't ever been as much demand either. It is more powerful, but not devastatingly so. There is a good selection of bullet types and loads, to cover a good range of needs. You can get polymer tips even, unlike it's little brother the .22LR. And that is where the biggest difference lies - the .22WMR has a standard bullet design, making jacketed and polymer tip bullets possible, while the 'heeled' bullet of the .22LR prevents this. There is a slight difference in bullet diameter, but NOT enough to affect safety in the bore of a gun - the case sizes though - big difference! Never shoot .22LR in a .22WMR chamber! If you get a 'convertible' revolver, you'll get both cylinders, and use the same bore. Depending on the exact bore dimension, it will likely prove more accurate with one load but not the other. Best singleaction is the Ruger Singlesix, but for just plinking, the Heritage Roughrider is a decent handgun. Look on their website, and you'll see they have a lot of options - grip shape, finish, barrel length, fixed or adjustible sights. Get one fully tricked out, the price will be comparable to the Ruger. I have an older Tanfoglio TA76 revolver with both cylinders - I shoot mostly .22WMR in it, as I have other more accurate .22LR pistols.
Want a plinker, go .22lr! nuff said Want a PD gun, don't put your life in any weapon of minor caliber. Want a really fun plinker? The GSG 1911-22 German made and a hoot to shoot!http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f57/lets-see-some-1911s-14126/index3.html#post311077http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f14/need-little-advice-30169/#post327757American Tactical Imports Hand Guns (Pistols) american tactical imports atigsg -thegunsource.com
Forgive me, but I can't pass up a "22 mag" string without once again bringing attention to the lonnng-awaited Kel-Tec PMR30... IF... big IF... Kel-Tec actually gets this out in numbers, AND it proves reliable, I figure it may change the whole 22-mag-for-handguns perception. Though patience regarding its debut is wearing kinda thin, there's still a LOT of interest in this gun! http://www.gunblast.com/KelTec-PMR30.htm
I, too, am looking forward to the promised Kel-Tec offering. I would rather not be the beta tester so I am waiting for the first round of (inevitable) recalls before I buy one.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
If you want a plinker, go with .22lr. I love my S&W model 17. It's a 10 shot revolver and it will eat anything you put into it. That's awfully handy if your .22 rifle is finicky.
My .22 target gun is a lr. 9 shot H&R. Love it! I can still shoot all of our .22 rifles w/ the same ammo. For SD, I'd pass. Bottom in pic.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Why not get a single six and have both? My dad has one and it's a great shooter. They have cheapened the blued model with a groove rear sight and plastic grips but used ones are available. If you go stainless you still get rosewood and adjustable rear.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
It is hard to beat the Ruger Single Six with a 6 1/2" barrel. The other part of the question is that it's going to cost you around $10-$15/50 rd box for ammo depending on what you get.

Promoted Tweets become holiday marketing battleground.
Hijacking Google traffic from competitors is about as old as Santa's sled. But it's intriguing to see Twitter search emerging as a holidays retail battleground with Black Friday one week away. And it appears that JCPenney is a leading yuletide marketing warrior, based on the Promoted Tweets it's purchased with terms involving competitor Target.
JCPenney has bought Promoted Tweets for the following keywords: "Target"; "Target stores"; "Target gifts"; "Target deals"; and "Target holidays". From numerous Twitter queries by the ClickZ News team, similar searches for other competitors, such as Kohl's, Dillard's, and Nordstrom, resulted in zero JCPenney ads.
The Plano, TX-based company, which didn't respond to interview requests for this story, has also locked down queries for searches related to its brand. Basic terms like "JCP" and "JCPenney" will produce copy the brand's marketing team has penned for Twitter, including this ad:
Black Friday is next week & jcpenney has just the values U need for the year's biggest shopping day! jcp.is/u9LFEs
Interestingly, Target - which has launched an onslaught of holiday marketing videos on YouTube – doesn't appear to be focused on Promoted Tweets. It didn't show up in results for any of the aforementioned brand-related terms when the Twitter page was refreshed.
Meanwhile, other brands are also zeroing in on Target searchers via Twitter. Sears has purchased Promoted Tweets for "@target", while the Gap, Neiman Marcus and HP are employing the tactic similarly against Minneapolis-based Target.
Proving that Twitter hijacking has become fair game, Old Navy is attempting to poach shoppers away from JCPenney, paying for the keyword "JCPenney". Here's one version of the ad copy showing up:
We're turning up the Deal-O-Meter for #Gobblepalooza 3D! Come in for 3 days of deals starting Thanksgiving Day. oldnvy.me/v6tDqL
Some observers may conclude JCPenney's play on the Target keywords is no coincidence. After all, JCPenney president Michael Francis left Target last month after heading up advertising there for more than a decade.

Oregon bank holdups drop |
| Print | |
Must Reads | |||
Thursday, April 12, 2012 | |||
Bank robberies are continuing to decline in Oregon, according to new numbers released by the FBI.
In 2011, Oregon there were 110 reported bank robberies, down from the 130 holdups reported in 2010. The peak in recent years was in 2009, when the state saw 187 bank robberies, the FBI said. With a downturn in the economy many would assume that's why bank robberies spiked in 2009, the FBI says that's not the case. "It's very rare that we see a bank robber who is robbing banks to make a mortgage payment," said [FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne] Steele. "Most bank robberies are connected to drug crimes. Many bank robbers have drug addiction problems or other such issues." Read more at KTVZ. {biztweet}bank rob{/biztweet}

Generations of students and graduates have been plagued by the question: What is my true calling in life? Four alumni from Corban University's Hoff School of Business who graduated in different decades say the school helped them find the answer by giving them a practical, well-rounded education.

Businesses here in Oregon and across the U.S. are already experiencing the effects of the largest generational shift in recent history, and these changing tides will impact every level of the workplace — from a company's executive leadership to its cultural core.
Success stories spotlight meaningful career opportunities in Oregon's diverse and lucrative tourism industry.

A USB or Universal Serial Bus serves as a port for quickly transferring data from various places to computer. USB's transfer files and information to a computer from a range of devices such as removable data drives, keyboards, printers,scanners, digital cameras,microphones,monitors etc. Several devices can be connected to one bus utilizing one IRQ. Normally, The original USB 1.0 has the capability of transferring upto 12 Mbps and supporting up to 127 devices.Other popular versions of USB are USB 1.1 (faster USB) and USB 2.0 was created with a theoretical data transfer rate of 480Mbps. With the 40-fold speed increase, USB became a viable option for fast, portable storage devices. Unfortunately, the phrase "USB 2.0" does not necessarily mean 480Mbps of throughput. USB 2.0 now has three different signaling rates:
The USB serves not only as data carrier but also supplies power to the devices in the form of five volts. The USB technology was developed by Intel,Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Lucent, Microsoft, NEC and Philips. USB 2.0 uses a "Master-Slave" architecture in which the computer handles all arbitration functions and dictates data flow to, from and between the attached peripherals.

Reduce, Reuse, Restyle
This season's hottest fashions might not be at your local mall. In fact, they might already hang inside your closet! Okay, maybe you're itching for that new military jacket in the window of your favorite store, but buying cheap clothes isn't the way to reduce your ecological footprint. Fast-fashion stores create a lot of factory waste and have been linked to sweatshop labor. Take a hint from eco-fashion designers and ethically minded consumers who are hunting down eco-friendly or fair trade options and repurposing un-new items to make fun and fabulous fashions. According to Tara St. James, designer of the sustainable label Covet, it's more important than ever that we reevaluate our shopping habits. "It's human nature to get sick of your clothes, but I encourage people to fight that feeling," she says. Here are a few ways to do just that.

Since 2008, the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects has gone to a Best Picture contender: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008), "Avatar" (2009), "Inception" (2010), "Hugo" (2011), "Life of Pi" (2012) and "Gravity" (2013). This year, that stat holds no water, since none of this year's nominees are also up for the top prize. The Visual Effects Society went for "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" in a big way, and since 2002 at least one of their winners has gone on to repeat at the Oscars 10 times (among their categories, the Ves recognizes achievements in Visual Effects-Driven Features, Supporting Visual Effects, and Animated Character in live-action features): Hans Zimmer on collaborating with Christopher Nolan on 'Interstellar' and 'Dark Knight' trilogy (Video) -Break- 2002: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" (Visual Effects-Driven, Animated Charact...' »

With 2015 upon us, we figured it was a good time to look back on the movies the millennium has brought us. And so we've dug into the archives and are re-running our Best of the 2000s pieces, from way back in 2009 when the Playlist was a little Blogspot site held together with tape and string. Each list runs down the top 10 films of each year (it's possible that, half-a-decade on, we'd put them in a different order and even change some of the movies, but we wanted to preserve the original pieces untouched as far as possible). Check out 2000 and 2001 if you missed them, and today we continue with 2002. The original piece follows below, and thanks to staffers past and present who contributed.

Now that 2014 has come to an end and all the statistics and box office results are coming in, it has become clear that last year saw another increase in ticket prices and the lowest movie theater attendance in two decades. According to estimates, about 1.26 billion people purchased movie tickets in 2014 in North America, which is the lowest result since 1995, when 1.21 billion people went to watch films in theaters. In 2013, attendance was at 1.34 billion, which is still lower than the all-time high of 1.57 billion, which happened in 2002, thanks in part to "Spider-Man," "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Average ticket prices are up to $8.15, compared to $8.13 in 2013. But even though ticket prices are on the rise, overall revenue ($10.36 billion) at the North American box office is down »

North American cinema attendance hit a 20-year low in 2014.
At 1.26 billion, box office numbers were the lowest in the Us and Canada since 1995 (which recorded 1.21 billion), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Chinese attendance figures rose by 34.5% to 830 million compared to 2013.
The country is projected to surpass North American figures by 2017.
Average ticket prices rose in North America, but revenue fell by 5% from 2013 to $10.36 billion (£6.72 billion). This was the greatest drop in revenue in nine years.
2002 marked an all-time high in the Us and Canada, with the release of Spider-Man, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
The top grossing films of 2014 included Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Lego Movie and Transformers: Age of Extinction. »

Said Flynn, "We just write until we feel like we have a good collection of songs. I think the main thing for us is that the four of us get goose bumps. We're not writing for fans, we're not writing for radio, we're not writing for what we think people might want. We're just writing for ourselves and we feel that's the truest most honest gauge that there can be."
Flynn also praised a few former Roadrunner acts, saying (while discussing an upcoming string of South American shows with Sepultura), "They were one of the main reasons that we wanted to sign with Roadrunner. We felt whoever Sepultura was with, they knew what they were doing." He also cited Biohazard as early Machine Head supporters, saying, "They were really hot at the time, they had that video on Beavis and Butt-Head. They really backed the band, even from before, I was seeing them open for The Exploited, like super hard core punk rock shows. We loved them."

Description This application is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/432,579, filed Nov. 18, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,056,008 which was a 371 of PCT/EP01/11483 filed Oct. 4, 2001 which was a continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/726,784 filed Nov. 29, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,491,421. The present invention relates to a system for mixing fluids containing solid and liquid materials such as cement. In particular the invention provides a system for the continuous mixing of cements or other fluids used in the drilling, completion or stimulation of boreholes such as oil or gas wells. When a well such as an oil or gas well has been drilled, it is often desired to isolate the various producing zones form each other or from the well itself in order to stabilise the well or prevent fluid communication between the zones or shut off unwanted fluid production such as water. This isolation is typically achieved by installing a tubular casing in the well and filling the annulus between the outside of the casing and the wall of the well (the formation) with cement. The cement is usually placed in the annulus by pumping a slurry of the cement down the casing such that it exits at the bottom of the well and passes back up the outside of the casing to fill the annulus. While it is possible to mix the cement as a batch prior to pumping into the well, it has become desirable to effect continuous mixing of the cement slurry at the surface just prior to pumping into the well. This has been found to provide better control of cement properties and more efficient use of materials. The cement slurries used in such operations comprise a mixture of dry and liquid materials. The liquid phase is typically water and so is readily available and cheap. The solid materials define the slurry and cement properties when added to the water and mixed, the amount of solid materials in the slurry being important. Since the liquid phase is constant, the amount of solid material added is usually monitored by measuring the density of the slurry and maintaining this at the desired level by controlling the amount of the solid material being added.
Solid materials are delivered to the mixer 14 from a surge can 18 or directly from a cement silo via a flow control valve 20 and are carried into the mixing tub 16 with the mix water. The contents of the mixing tub 16 are recirculated through a recirculation pipe 22 and pump 24 to the mixer 14. The recirculation pipe 22 also includes a densitometer 26 which provides a measurement of the density of the slurry in the mixing tub 16. An output 28 is provided for slurry to be fed from the mixing tub 16 to further pumps (not shown) for pumping into the well. Control of the slurry mixture is achieved by controlling the density in the mixing tub 16 as provided by the densitometer 26 by addition of solid material so stay at a predetermined level for the slurry desired to be pumped. The densitometer 26 is typically a non-radioactive device such as a Coriolis meter. While this system is effective for slurries using materials of much higher density than water, it is not effective for slurries using low density solid materials, especially when the density of the solids is close to that of water. In such cases, a density measurement is not sensitive enough to control the amounts of solid material added to the necessary accuracy. The present invention seeks to provide a mixing system with avoids the problem of density measurement described above. In its broadest aspect, the present invention comprises using a measurement of the solid fraction of a fluid as it is being mixed to determine the ratio of the solid and liquid components added to the slurry. The invention is particularly applicable to the mixing of borehole cement slurries, in which case, solids fraction is determined as (slurry vol−water vol)/slurry vol. An alternative but related parameter is porosity, determined as water vol/slurry vol (porosity+solids fraction=1). A system for mixing cement in accordance with the invention comprises a liquid (water) supply including a device for measuring the amount of liquid supplied; a solid material supply; a mixer which receives the liquid and solid materials and includes an output for delivering materials from the mixer to a delivery system; a device for measuring the amount of material in the mixer; and a flow meter in the output; wherein measurements from the flow meters and the device for measuring the amount of material in the mixer are used to control the amount of solid material added to the mixer. The flow meters can be mass flow meters or volumetric flow meters. Any suitable form of meter can be used, for example Coriolis meters or electromagnetic meters. The mixer will typically include a tank or tub, in which case the device for measuring the amount of material in the mixer can be a level sensor. Such a level sensor is preferably a time domain reflectometry- or radar-type device although acoustic or float devices can also be used. It is preferred to mount such a device in an arrangement for damping transient fluctuations in the tank level, for example in an arrangement of concentric slotted tubes. An alternative or additional form of sensor can be a load cell which can be used to indicate the weight of the tank, or a pressure sensor. The device for measuring the amount of liquid supplied can be a flow meter or a level sensor of the types described above. When the liquid supply includes one or more displacement tanks, a level sensor is preferred Where the mixer includes some form of recirculation of the slurry through the tank, it is important that the output flow meter is downstream of this recirculation. Where the solid materials comprise cement and other solid additives added separately to the mixer, separate flow meters can also be provided for each separate supply of additives. In its simplest form, the measurement of solid fraction is used as a guide for the operator to add solids, particularly cement, to the slurry as it is mixed. In more advanced versions, the calculation of solids fraction is used to control the addition of solids directly by means of an automatic control system. The invention also provides an improved method for calculating displacement volume from a system comprising at least one displacement tank, comprising measuring the level of liquid in the tanks over time and calculating displacement as:
Examples of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which: The system shown in The supply of mix water comprises a pair of displacement tanks 101, each having a separate output connected to a valve 103 which supplies the pump 102. Level sensors 105 are included in each displacement tank 101 for determining the amount of water supplied to the pump 102. In another version (not shown), the level sensors are omitted. The amount of water supplied is determined in the manner described below. The mixing system 106 also receives solid materials from a surge can 108 (or alternatively directly from a surge can) which are admitted through a valve 110. The mixed solid and liquid materials are delivered through a feed pipe 112 to a mixing tub 114. The mixing tub 114 has a first outlet 116 connected to a recirculation pump 118 which feeds the slurry drawn from the tub 114 back into the mixing system. The tub 114 is provided with a level sensor 120 and/or a load sensor 122 to provide an indication of the tank contents and any change in contents over time. A second output 124 is provided from the tub 114 which leads, via a second pump 126 and a second flow meter 128 to the pumping system from which it is delivered to the well (not shown). An alternative method of delivery (shown in dashed line in For use in the displacement tanks, each displacement tank receives a level sensor. This sensor gives an accurate measurement of the liquid level in the tank. The exact volume versus level is required to calculate the displaced volume. In case the tank cross section profile is not accurately known a so-called tank calibration is performed. A water meter equipped with a digital output measures the exact displacement tank volume versus tank level. This operation is performed only once for each tank. To supply water to the system, the valve 103 is operated to allow water to flow from one or other tank to the pump 102. When a tank discharge valve is opened, a device such as an end switch, pressure switched or any other appropriate device is used to begin calculation of the displacement volume. Displacement volume is then computed as:
This method of determining the displacement volume can be applied to other forms of cementing operation than the ones described here, and has the advantage that it is relatively insensitive to pump efficiency or operator error as found in the previous systems. For use in the mixing tub, the sensor arrangement is installed in the mixing tub 114 in the vertical position and in a location where the slurry is renewed as the mixing occurs, to avoid location in a dead zone where cement might set. The sensor provides a measurement of the difference between the length of the rod 202 (LM) and the level of slurry in the tub level (TL). The free tub level (FTL) is obtained by:
The outputs of the flow sensors and level sensors are used to monitor the solid fraction of the slurry in the following manner: The solid fraction computation is based on the balance between incoming and outgoing volumes (or flow rates) as expressed in the following relationship:
Tub rate is the variation versus time of the tub volume and is considered as positive while the tub level increases and negative while it decreases. The smaller the tub cross section, the more sensitive the measurement will be to change. Qtub is given by: The solids fraction at time t is computed as the ratio of (slurry vol−water vol) over the total slurry volume present at time t in the tub. The variation in tub slurry volume Vtub(t+δt)−Vtub(t) can be expressed as:
These calculations are conveniently performed using a computer, in which case the measurements can be provided directly from the sensors via a suitable interface. A preferred screen display will show the various flow rates or levels, together with the desired solids fraction (calculated when designing the slurry). The mixing process is controlled by adjusting the amount of cement and/or water added to the mixer so as to maintain the calculated solids fraction at the desired level. Alternatively, the results of the calculations can be fed to an automatic control system which adjusts the rate at which the components are delivered to the mixing system. The system described above works well when the dry ingredients (blend of cement+additives) are delivered pre-mixed to the well site from another location. In this case essentially the same measurements and calculations as described above are performed, merely substituting Qblend for Qcement. If it is desired to mix the dry materials on site as part of the continuous mixing process, a slightly different approach is required. It will be appreciated that changes can be made in implementation while still remaining within the scope of using solid fraction as the property monitored to effect control of the mixing. For example, the method can be applied to the mixing of other borehole fluids such as stimulation fluids (fracturing fluids) or even drilling fluids (mud). In the case of fracturing fluids, the gel and proppant (liquid and solid phases) are usually mixed using a pod blender and the proportion of gel and proppant controlled using a densitometer (usually radioactive) downstream of the mixer/blender. The use of radioactive sensors generates many environmental issues and while Coriolis-type meters are an alternative, they are know to have limitations in respect of flow rate when used this way. The present invention allows control of proppant and gel concentrations by means of flow meters without the need to rely on densitometer measurements. Gel and mixed fluid flow rates are measured by means of electromagnetic flow meters. The amount of proppant is directly deduced from the following relationship:
This approach has the advantage of not requiring the use of radioactive densitometers thus avoiding limitations placed on use for regulatory reasons and without the flow rate performance limitations of other measurement techniques. The equipment and control system is essentially the same as that used in the cementing system described above. Patent Citations

Seoul: Saina Nehwal bowed out of the Yonex Korea Super Series 2009 losing to Indonesia's Adrianti Firdasari in the second round, while mixed doubles duo of V Diju and Gwala Gutta upset the top seed to move into the quarter-finals, on Thursday.
Saina, the fifth seed, went down 21-18, 18-21, 12-21 in a match that lasted 47 minutes.
The Indian shuttler, who got walk-over against Canada's Charmaine Reid in the first round, used her powerful smashes to eke out a win in the first game but thereafter lost her way.
She faltered at the net and her smashes also let her down as she conceded the second game to allow her opponent to draw level.
In the decider, the top Indian woman shuttler could prove no match as she allowed Adrianti to open up a six-point lead early on which proved to be too difficult to match for Saina.
There was disappointment in the men's singles with lone Indian survivor Arvind Bhat losing to seventh-seed Przemyslaw Wacha of Poland in the second round.
Just like Saina, Bhat too went into the lead, winning the first game 21-11. But the Pole then fought back to level terms at 21-14.
The game was equally poised at 11-all before Bhat opened up a five point lead in the decider, but the Indian allowed Wacha to get back on level terms at 19-19 and he ultimately carried on the momentum to win the final game 23-21.
In mixed doubles, Diju and Gutta got rid of Indonesian pair Nova Widianto and Liliyana Natsir 10-21, 21-16, 21-9 and will meet eighth-seed Wijaya Rendra and Meiliana Jauhari of Indonesia in the quarter-finals.
The Indian pair went down meekly in the first game as their opponents raked up 10 consecutive points, thanks to their good coverage at the net and strong smashes.
But Diju and Gutta came back strongly to claim the second game and gave their opponents no chance in the decider. The Indians played hard and their net coverage and strong smashes left the Indonesians dazed.

It almost seems like atheists don't want to believe in God. Do you just simply not want to believe in God because you don't want to give up your own free will?
ADMIN EDIT: Mercedes has left ThinkAtheist.com on her own accord. This discussion will remain, however do not expect a response from the author.
Don't believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein or Superman? Have you been listening to Queen again Keith? Next you'll be saying that all you want to do is bicycle!
BTW, I think you might misunderstand what the term "free will" means. You express free will every day, in every decision you make. Your lack of free will regarding your belief in your god is only the result of your indoctrination into the superstition that you follow. Too be honest, I don't really understand why someone like you would choose slavery to a fairy tales over "free will" to explore the universe and learn what truth and reality is.
I admire your attempts to find a proof but I suggest that you take your references from the book of the whole world, rather than book of a small collection of tales told in a small section of that world over a small period of its history. According to you, God created the world, and God created the Bible? Why would you, or any other Christian (or any other religious person with their own sacred texts), choose to believe a book over the whole of nature?
@John Cook - Thank you. The most profound thing I learned from your comment to Mercedes, as an ex-catholic, is the hiring of psychologists to help with the brainwashing.
I knew they had sunk to the depths of depravity, and would go to any lengths to protect the business- but this?
Notice how the troll has never came back to answer any of the responses
I don't think she is a troll, Adam. Poe, possibly, but I don't think she is here to troll. If she is, she is terrible at it.
I'm willing to give her the benefit of a doubt and indulge her questions just in case she may be a genuine person wanting to learn something outside of their bubble.
She did come back a few times to answer some of our posts, and has friended some of us as well.
Because he's insensitive, a bit short on empathy, and doesn't know any other way to express himself.
Well, the terms "troll" and "Poe" aren't really insults in the traditional sense. They are the names that have been given to individuals on the internet who intentionally stir up trouble.
A "troll" is someone who makes comments that are aimed at getting others all worked up, for the simple pleasure of laughing at how worked up you can make everyone. I'm sure you can see how a "troll" could be very successful by coming onto an atheist community and pretending to be someone of blind faith that simply doesn't understand the responses they get.
A "Poe" (named for the man who defined the term) is someone who enters into a fundamentalist community or its opposing camp (usually religious or political), and makes posts that are intended as a parody of the group's beliefs. The problem is that in general, such parody so closely matches the genuine article that no one can tell that it is actually parody. Again, perhaps you can see how your posts might be suspected of that.
In either case, the term really only applies to you if you are actually guilty of it. And even in that case, most people would not be offended, because that's sort of their goal.
If you are not guilty of either, and you truly are genuine in your posts so far, then neither really applies to you, and you can ignore the accusations.
I have done no such thing. "Troll" isn't an insult or bad word. It's a description of someone's behavior in the internet.
I didn't call you names. I was defending your presence here. Some people were under the impression that you were here to mess with us, or that you weren't who you claim you are. I was simply defending your reasons for being here.
She's certainly capable of answering for herself, but I think, Milos, that she was referring to Adam, not you.

Michael Mina expanded to Los Angeles a year ago with his restaurant XIV on Sunset Blvd., quickly assigning chef Steven Fretz to kitchen duties. Unfortunately, this sort of extensive branching out has cost him dearly back home in San Francisco. Grub Street S.F. let us know that Mina has just lost one of the two Michelin stars gracing his signature, self-titled restaurant, moving from two stars to just one. Rapid growth, like Mina's move to L.A. with XIV, might be one cause to blame, suggests Michelin director Jean-Luc Naret, who spoke with GS. "Michael Mina lost his focus on this particular restaurant I think his presence would be more necessary to keep the consistency." Although XIV is yet to receive or lose any stars of its own, the same could be said for its location, which seems to find Mina mentioned in the menu more than it sees him behind the stoves.

This movie has to be seen to be believed. On the other hand, maybe that's too high a price to pay. "Highlander 2: The Quickening" is the most hilariously incomprehensible movie I've seen in many a long day - a movie almost awesome in its badness. Wherever science fiction fans gather, in decades and generations to come, this film will be remembered in hushed tones as one of the immortal low points of the genre.
The story opens in the year 1999, and then we get the title card "25 Years Later," followed not long after by the title card "The Planet Zeist, 500 Years Ago." Uh, are those Earth years or Zeist years? Apparently Zeist, which has a sun so close it takes up a quarter of the visible sky, revolves around that orb so slowly that a Zeist year is exactly the same as an earth year, which accounts for the fact that one of the Immortals sent to earth 500 years ago found himself in medieval Scotland, also 500 years ago.
Now about the Immortals. They led a rebellion on Zeist, and were banished to Earth, under a sentence of eternal life. They cannot die. In a sense. Actually, they can, but it depends. Or, as one of the characters explains it more helpfully, "You will live forever here, until you return to Zeist, where you can die, or, under certain circumstances, you can die here, but not on Zeist." The immortals are played by Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert, and they have both been on Earth 500 (Earth) years, and will be here a lot longer, looks like. Meanwhile, in the year 1999, the disappearing ozone layer is causing global panic on Earth. The ozone has finally been destroyed by billions of deodorized armpits, and people are dying like flies, until a corporation headed by Lambert devises a shield to save the planet. This shield, known as the Shield, involves using all of the energy on the planet, concentrated into a laser beam which is shot up to a satellite, whereupon the Earth is saved from excess solar radiation, but there's a catch: It will always be night, and the temperature and humidity will both hover around 99.
Flash forward 25 years, as the older Lambert goes to an opera, wearing a tuxedo, which people still wear despite the heat wave and the 99 percent humidity. Life in big cities has grown dangerous and criminal, although people are still alive and should not complain, considering that you would think that the total blackout on Earth might have curtailed food production, since nothing could grow.
For that matter, why isn't everything covered with a carpet of fungus? And for that matter, why is the humidity 99 percent - after all, the lack of sunlight should have (a) ended the process of cloud formation, so that, without rain, all of the water would end up in the oceans and the land would be a desert, and (b) without warmth from the sun, a new Ice Age should have begun? Never mind. Earth is in the grip of an evil cartel which manages the Shield, until a brave underground scientist (Virginia Madsen) hacks into the computers of the Shield's owners and discovers, as she breathlessly reports: "The solar radiation above the Shield is normal!!!" She explains that the ozone layer has "repaired itself." Meanwhile, Sean Connery, still a creature of the medieval Scotland where he first arrived from Zeist, appears in the 21st century wearing a kilt and talking in a thick brogue, and gets himself suited up in modern dress before there are several sword fights. Also some byplay involving bad guys on the planet Zeist. If there is a planet somewhere whose civilization is based on the worst movies of all time, "Highlander 2: The Quickening" deserves a sacred place among their most treasured artifacts.
FILM NOTE: "Quickening" is a process by which two people touch each other and are surrounded by special effects making it look as if one of them is standing in a puddle and the other had just stuck his finger into a light socket.

Buy a Fresh and Local Christmas Tree This Year
PDF of the Tree Farm Directory
The holiday season is upon is and Oswego County Christmas tree farmers are ready to help you find the perfect tree! Big or small, narrow or round, you can find that tree that is just right for you on one of the many local tree farms. Buying local not only supports Oswego County farm businesses, it also assures you have the freshest tree possible. Fresh cut trees smell better and keep their needles longer.
"If purchased locally, and displayed properly with plenty of water, most real Christmas trees have excellent needle retention. Many of our customers report few or no needles on the floor after several weeks in their homes. While most people enjoy the aroma of our farm fresh trees, we also grow a fragrance-free variety that is a favorite with people with sensitive noses," explains Faye Beckwith from Beckwith Family Christmas Tree Station in Hannibal, NY. She continued "Real Christmas trees are the best choice for both the environment and the economy. Real Christmas trees are a renewable and recyclable resource. They are grown as a crop, by local farmers who provide jobs for others. Trees are harvested and replenished annually. As they grow, real trees absorb harmful carbons and produce fresh oxygen. "
Buying a fresh and local Christmas tree is also a great bonding experience for families. Beckwith commented "The experience of going to the farm to choose the perfect tree fosters family traditions and creates memories that last a lifetime. We have several four generation families who come annually to ride the tractor-drawn wagon to the fields - in search of the perfect tree."
Following is a list from Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Oswego County of the tree farms in Oswego County. For more information on these farms, including phone number, tree varieties sold and hours of operation, call CCE at 315.963.7286 for their Oswego County Christmas Tree Farm directory or go online to www.thatscooperativeextension.org:

"How Does Religion Really Influence Iranian Nuclear Policy?"
Op-Ed, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
By Ariane Tabatabai, Associate, International Security Program/Project on Managing the Atom
"It's true that the regime sometimes makes decisions that seem irrational to outside observers. But this is not generally due to religious belief but rather to the fact that the regime's interests and the national interest do not alignfor example, Iran and Israel have many common strategic interests, yet Tehran has adopted anti-Israeli rhetoric and policies since the 1979 revolution. This stance may not serve national interests, but it certainly advances the Islamic Republic's interest in a strong, external-enemy narrative."

By Sharon Wilke, Associate Director of Communications
The Fall/Winter 2014/15 issue of the Belfer Center newsletter features recent and upcoming activities, research, and analysis by members of the Center community on critical global issues. This edition highlights discussions at the Belfer Center about Iran and its nuclear program. Former U.S. National Security Advisor and Center Senior Fellow Thomas Donilon and former Israeli National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror added their voices to Center debate on this issue during a Harvard Kennedy School forum on a possible deal to prevent development of nuclear weapons in Iran.
In "Stopping ISIL," a number of Belfer Center security experts weigh in on what must be done in the next year to stop the spread and brutality of the Islamic State (ISIL). Graham Allison, Nicholas Burns, Chuck Freilich, Nawaf Obaid, Ariane Tabatabai, Payam Mohseni, David Petraeus, Gary Samore, and Barak Mendelsohn suggest solutions to this strategic challenge.

"Eyes on Irans Nuclear Program"
Newsletter Article, Belfer Center Newsletter
By Sharon Wilke, Associate Director of Communications
In a standing-room-only event at Harvard Kennedy School in late September, former national security advisors from the United States and Israel highlighted the significance and the challenges of negotiating with Iran to prevent its development of nuclear weapons.
Thomas Donilon, national security advisor for the U.S. from 2010 to 2013, and Yaakov Amidror, national security advisor for Israel from 2011 to 2013, shared their views on the process of negotiating with Iran to reach an agreement on its current and future nuclear program.

"The Fool's Errand for a Perfect Deal with Iran"
Journal Article, Washington Quarterly, issue 3, volume 37
By Sven-Eric Fikenscher, Research Fellow, International Security Program/Project on Managing the Atom and Robert Reardon, Former Research Fellow, Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program, 20122014
"The P5+1 should set aside the effort to craft an all-at-once comprehensive bargain and instead adopt a strategy of negotiating incremental agreements. An incremental approach has a number of advantages. The negotiators could focus on one sticking point at a time, without having to coordinate agreement on all of them at once. Negotiators could defer currently intractable issues, like enrichment capacity, until greater trust is built or new opportunities arise. Most importantly, the compromises already achieved under the JPA could be maintained and consolidated, independently of the ups and downs of ongoing negotiations."

"Towards A Nuclear Agreement"
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
"Netanyahu, who deserves considerable credit for having successfully placed the Iranian issue at the center of the international agenda, unfortunately went too far in the last year, turned himself in the eyes of the world from the champion of the cause to an annoyance, and undermined the strategic coordination with the United States. The idea of conducting a public campaign against the agreement, while mobilizing the Congress against the president, borders on the irresponsible."

The Iranian Nuclear Programme: Practical Parameters for a Credible Long-Term Agreement
By Olli Heinonen, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) are continuing negotiations to achieve a comprehensive nuclear agreement. Whilst the wider political context to such an agreement is of importance, the key concern at this stage of the negotiations must revolve around ensuring that any agreement guarantees Iran is left without a pathway to making nuclear weapons.

"Bringing Iran into the Nuclear Security Summit"
Op-Ed, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
By Ariane Tabatabai, Associate, International Security Program/Project on Managing the Atom and Miles A Pomper
"Iran would join a group of six other Middle Eastern states at the summitEgypt, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. The meeting would thus provide a forum for these countries to engage on nuclear security issues, a rare and much-needed opportunity for the region. Currently, there are few venues where the Arab states, Iran, Israel, and Turkey can meet to constructively discuss anything."

"A New Approach to Resolve Military Aspects of Irans Nuclear Program"
By Olli Heinonen, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and David Albright
In a recent appearance in Washington, DC, the IAEAs Director General Yukiya Amano repeatedly emphasized that the military nuclear issues need to be addressed and solved. It is time for the IAEA to chart a new course before its lack of progress in resolving this issue collides with the effort by the worlds powers and Iran to achieve a nuclear deal by November 24. The IAEA, with the support of the United States, must act quickly.
