For food, a graveyard looking cake would fit the theme for Death Note, Vampire Knight and Black Butler. You can also add some famous Japanese sweets. Blood colored juices, serve it in a champagne glass. Ah, dressing her as Elizabeth from Black Butler is nice, a cute maid outfit is nice too. Also to make the party more fun, organize a game.
Games like:
Old Maid
Quiz game about her favorite Anime
Winners will get figurines or nenderoid, posters, or any items from her favorite Anime.
Before entering, guests will need to sign their name on the death note. tee-hehehe Don't forget to invite me. *__*
Because I'm her servant that's why I am reading this.
you could try a classic japanese party game, where you put numbers on popsicle sticks, have people draw them.. one of them is the king (or queen) stick, and they tell the other ones what to do, like 'have #3 kiss #5 on the cheek' or something.. that's always fun, and its hilarious the crazy ideas some ppl come up with
RAMEN omnomnomnom :3
Ok up date on party. I have been working really hard on the menu. Nothing like a bunch of teenage girls skweeling at trying foods they may not have tried before :p So far I have (and yes I know some may be more chines foods then Japanese.) Fried dumplings, spring rolls, steamed birthday buns, rice balls and shui. still working on it though. In the gift bags I have anime phone charms, pocky, Japanese candys and lolly pops.
Things to do : so far I only have watching Ouren Host Club and a large projecter screen and origomi. I still have till thoght party is Feb. 17

Do you feel disgusted knowing that in another year's time, your daughter will be the same age as you were when you gave birth to her?
If your circumstances were difficult, and I'm just being a presumptuous little shithead, then I apologise hahaha.
*****Completely inactive, no other accounts*****
Try not to mix a bunch of anime together, just two at most. I.E. a death note & bleach party can work. But, a black butler, bleach, cowboy bepop, and vandread, wlll not work. The less anime, the better. Just stick with their favorite animes, currently. Then try and make a 'party theme' in the style the anime might throw a party. Bleach parties are kinda dull, in the anime. Death note, I think they don't even have parties...unless you count a feast of death xD But, either or....just try not to mix to much anime together, and just make it as creative as possible. Like, a idea for a death note V bleach party can work like: before you enter into the party, you need to 'die' with the death note. But, once you 'die' you are then 'transported' to a place in soul society, maybe the captains meeting place, or something. But, either or....you get what I mean here? the less anime, the better it can work. To much anime, and it will just become a cosplay event, or something. But, either or...yeah.
The past is the past, don't let it cloud who you are now.
bring a case of heineken.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Save the hyperbole. Sunday night's game between the Chicago Fire and the New York Red Bulls was not, in fact, the biggest game in MLS history.
But on the evolutionary chart of Major League Soccer, the scoreless draw was certainly the upright man, no longer just standing but now in a dead sprint in the most expensive cleats money can buy.
The Designated Player initiative that started with David Beckham in 2007 was realized Sunday likely better than anyone could have imagined three years ago. Thierry Henry in a Red Bulls uniform. Rafael Márquez in MLS. Nery Castillo and Freddie Ljungberg – sensations from worlds apart in Sweden and Mexico - on the same team for a Chicago fan base ready to adore them.
The game itself? Played in front of the largest crowd in Toyota Park history and on national television, it was nearly impossible to live up to the hype that preceded the opening kickoff.
Henry – who played so brilliantly in his MLS debut last weekend and surprisingly gutted out 90 minutes in the oppressive Houston heat – left just before the half, hobbled with a groin strain. He was heckled and adored the way he should be by an anxious road crowd thrilled to see a world-class player, but one also more than willing to treat him with all the respect of just another workaday commuter on the subway.
Márquez was characteristically steady in his 60 minutes for the Red Bulls, and cheered as loudly during the opening introductions as any player. Ljungberg was pesky and dynamic at times and a step slow at others, but his ability to carve up New York's midfield signaled that better things are yet to come for a Chicago team in need.
The best single moment belonged to Castillo, who made his Fire debut with all the subtlety of Lady Gaga headlining Lollapalooza at nearby Grant Park. Donning the same No. 10 that his beloved predecessor Cuauhtémoc Blanco wore in three seasons in Chicago, every warm up move Castillo made was fawned over before he finally stepped on the field, marking the rare occasion when the pyrotechnics budget gets emptied to celebrate a second-half substitution.
Did he deliver? Not quite. Not yet, anyway. He showed flashes of both gold and rust in his MLS debut, failing to latch on to the decisive pass from Ljungberg or All-Star Marco Pappa. What Blanco started here will likely be safe in Castillo's hands, but only if he delivers the way the Mexican icon did, and Sunday's part-time shift only left the fans waiting in suspense.
In fact, the match left all of MLS waiting. The league has waited years for a match like this one, worked overtime learning to crawl a decade ago, long before it could truly walk in 2007.
Sunday night's match – the latest step on an evolutionary chart now more than a decade old – gave one lasting indication. Now, it's truly time to run.

HOUSTON (AP) — A white Houston-area man accused of sucker punching an elderly black man has pleaded not guilty to a federal hate crime charge.
Conrad Alvin Barrett entered his plea during a brief arraignment hearing Thursday in Houston federal court.
Investigators say Barrett broke the 79-year-old victim's jaw in two places in a Nov. 24 attack in the Houston suburb of Katy. They say he laughed and shouted "knockout" as the man fell to the ground.
Investigators say Barrett recorded the attack using his cellphone and shared the video.
The 27-year-old was arrested Dec. 26 and indicted last week. He remains in custody.
George Parnham, Barrett's attorney, says his client has a bipolar disorder and was off his medication when the attack happened.
Barrett's trial is scheduled for March 10.

AARP, Attorney General launch 'Fraud Watch Network'
An estimated 250 local seniors packed the Museum of Flight auditorium Wednesday for the 2013 annual Scam Jam, where state, federal and local consumer advocates offered insights and information about the latest scams and how to avoid them.
Topics included recurring scams in King County, how scammers persuade you to take the bait, cyber security and password safety. AARP's Internet Security Expert Greg Hadley revealed common mistakes people make online and with their personal electronics and urged everyone to review the website OnGuardOnline.gov .
Gerri Walsh, President of the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) Investor Education Foundation said surveys show 8 in 10 older investors have been the target of fraudulent investment offers. Walsh encouraged consumers to visit the website SaveAndInvest.org to stay on top of how to avoid investment fraud and make sure the investment advisor you're dealing with is legally registered.
Also speaking at the event, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who announced a new statewide fight against fraud called "Fraud Watch Network."
The state is teaming up with AARP to feature local events, telephone town halls, webinars, advertising and other educational resources. AARP says a key tactic in the campaign is the development of a public alert network to provide eyes and ears against fraud across the state. Consumers can sign up for timely alerts and notifications about new scams as they emerge. AARP State Director Doug Shadel said consumers will also be asked to report suspicious activity or raise concerns with the Seattle-based Fraud Fighter Call Center.
You can sign up for the "Fraud Watch Network" by calling 1-800-646-2283. The news Fraud Watch Network website is scheduled to go live starting next week.

DARTMOUTH — The Housing Authority's plans to convert the former state police barracks on State Road into efficiency apartments for veterans has cleared a major hurdle.
DARTMOUTH — The Housing Authority's plans to convert the former state police barracks on State Road into efficiency apartments for veterans has cleared a major hurdle.
The town's Zoning Board of Appeals approved a comprehensive permit for nine affordable rental units Wednesday night, according to Jane Kirby, the board's principal clerk. The approval followed a public hearing Nov. 20 on the project.
"I'm very happy and very pleased that the process went so smoothly," Constance Desbiens, the authority's executive director, said Friday. "It's another step in making it a reality."
The next step is for the authority to work with the state Department of Housing and Community Development and select an architect and an engineer, according to Desbiens. The Housing Authority hopes to hire both by early spring.
She said the ZBA's approval enables the authority to seek funding for conversion of the barracks, which closed in 2006 when the new barracks opened on Faunce Corner Road.
The authority will seek funding after it selects an architect and an engineer.
There is no projected start date for the construction, which is dependent upon funding, Desbiens said. "We're probably at least another good year away before we start construction," she said.
The cost of the project is undetermined, she said.
Kirby said plans call for the demolition of the garage and portions of the porch at the rear of the structure and the construction of a two-story attached addition.
There will be four apartments on the first floor, two of which will be handicap-accesible and five units on the second floor, according to Kirby.
The facility will be known as the O'Connor-Sisson House for Veterans and is being named after Bill O'Connor and Charles Sisson, two Housing Authority commissioners, who have died. Sisson was also the executive director of Coastline Elderly Services, New Bedford.

MONTREAL-Louis Leblanc became the second Harvard player to be selected in the first round of the National Hockey League Entry Draft when he was taken by his hometown Montreal Canadiens Friday night at Bell Centre. Fellow Crimson incoming freshman Alexander Fallstrom was picked by the Minnesota Wild in Saturday's fourth round.
Leblanc, a native of Kirkland, Que., a Montreal suburb, was chosen with the 18th overall pick to loud cheers from his hometown crowd. The forward joins the Crimson after spending one season with the Omaha Lancers and being selected as Rookie of the Year of the United States Hockey League.
Harvard's only previous first-round pick was Chris Biotti '89. He was the 17th overall pick in 1985, chosen by the Calgary Flames. Leblanc is the seventh first-round pick in ECAC Hockey history. He was the second college-affiliated player selected in this year's draft, behind only Minnesota freshman Nick Leddy, who was drafted by the Wild.
Fallstrom, also a forward, was the 116th pick of the draft. The Gothenburg, Sweden native joins Harvard after captaining the team at Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Faribault, Minn., last season. He was the 78th NHL Draft pick in program history, the most of any ECAC Hockey team.
Leblanc and Fallstrom were among 12 ECAC players and three Ivy League players taken in the 2009 Draft. Colgate, Rensselaer and Yale matched Harvard with two selections each.
The 2009-10 Harvard roster will include six drafted players: Fallstrom, Leblanc, senior captain Alex Biega, senior Doug Rogers, junior Matt McCollem and sophomore Alex Killorn. Rogers, Biega and McCollem were taken in 2006 by the Buffalo Sabres, New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues, respectively. Killorn was a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2007.
Crimson players have been selected in 13 of the last 14 and 26 of the last 28 NHL Drafts.

Bronze Plan is a type of Metal Plan on the Health Insurance Marketplace. Bronze Plans qualify for Tax Credits and have low premiums. Generally speaking, a Bronze Plan is intended to have the lowest premium of the 4 new categories of health plans under the Affordable Care Act but charge the highest out-of-pocket costs for healthcare services.
The fundamental difference among the new Obamacare health plans is the percentage of covered medical costs paid by the health plan. The Bronze Plan pays 60% of the covered medical costs among its enrollees while the other Obamacare health plans pay a higher percentage of these costs.
The monthly premium for a Bronze Plan depends on the insurer from whom you purchase the plan, the number of people to be insured by the plan, your age, whether you smoke, and the region in which you live. You can use HealthPocket's comparison tool to compare Bronze Plan premiums in your area. Another important factor to remember is Advanced Premium Tax Credits which can subsidize bronze plan premiums if an individual meets eligibility criteria.
The annual enrollment period for the 2018 plan year will begin on November 1, 2017 and continue through December 15, 2017.
In 2015 there had been a Special Enrollment Period for many facing the uninsured penalty on their 2014 tax return. There is no guarantee that a similar Special Enrollment Period will be granted in 2017. See our Open Enrollment article for more information.

Paparazzo Killed While Trying to Photograph Justin Bieber's Ferrari
While Justin Bieber and his girlfriend were hundreds of miles away from Hollywood, tragedy struck as a paparazzo was hit by a car and killed after trying to take photos of the "Boyfriend" singer's Ferrari.
According to Los Angeles police, the photographer was struck by oncoming traffic after attempting to take pictures of the driver of the car who he believed to be Bieber.
Police officer James Stoughton says the man died at a hospital Tuesday evening. He added that Bieber, who is still believed to be on a romantic getaway with Selena Gomez in Puerto Vallarta, México, was not in the car at the time.
After hearing the news, Bieber addressed the incident in a statement to the media.
"While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim," Bieber said as seen on CNN.
"Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders and the photographers themselves," the statement said.
Sgt. Rudy Lopez told the Los Angeles Times that the pop star's friend was driving the car when it was pulled over for a traffic stop. It was parked on a busy street when the photographer arrived.
Police say the man was struck by a car as he returned to his own car.
Stoughton says no charges are expected against the motorist who hit the man.

Across three major releases, the F.E.A.R. franchise has not only provided waves of bullets, explosions, and even mechanized death-machines, but also offered up genuine scares courtesy of one little red-dressed girl named Alma Wade. Dammit, why are pale-faced, stringy-haired dead girls so terrifying? Let's take a look at the series thus far and identify why F.E.A.R. 4 is one of OnlySP's most wanted games for the upcoming next generation of consoles.
Hoping it is actually scary this time with next gen magic!!!
Deff want to see more Fear in the future. It'll be interesting to see who develops it as Day1 assimilated into wargaming.net
Personally I would rather have a next-gen Condemned, but F.E.A.R would be fine.

Asus ENGTX275 Review
Far Cry 2:
Featuring a new game engine named Dunia, this game looks to be another one to stress your video card. Built specially for Far Cry 2, this engine allows for real-time effects and damage. This next generation first-person shooter comes to us from Ubisoft, surprisingly - not from Crytek. The game is set in a war-torn region of Africa where there is a non-existent central government and the chaos that surrounds this type of social environment. If you have seen the movie Blood Diamond, you know the setting. Ubisoft puts the main storyline of the game into focus with these statements: "Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal," a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfill your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralize their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force." In this Far Cry game, you don't have the beautiful water, but instead the beauty and harshness of the African continent to contend with. Most games give you a set area that can be played through, while Ubisoft has given the gamer the equivalent of 50km2 of the vast African continent to explore while in pursuit of your goals. The settings used are just a few steps below the maximum in-game settings and offer a good blend of performance vs. visual quality.
- 2xAA
- Game Settings: Very high
- VSync: Off
The ENGTX275 is a card that runs at factory default clock speeds so the results are almost spot on with the other GTX 275 cards in the testing. Compared against the Sapphire Vapor-X 4890, the maximum FPS differential is 2 at both 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. It falls short against the ASUS ENGTX285 TOP, even when overclocked.

Ergo Office Chair. Few learn how to buy furniture appropriately. You should invest some time online, and make a few decisions from the furniture websites you see. Then go to the showrooms offering your alternatives and try the furniture out. That's how to buy furniture. Furniture, especially solid wood furniture, plays an essential role in emanating a pleasurable and peaceful atmosphere in your house. However, while every person wants to acquire solid wood furniture to deck up their homes, few are aware in what furniture to buy.
Wood outdoor furniture must be safeguarded well and one must take the time to habitually browse the timber furniture for splinters or breaks. If you leave these unrepaired, they might lead to wounds and slashes. It's important to make some amount of investment in the maintenance of the outdoor outdoor furniture. There are various kinds of outdoor outdoor furniture that exist in several styles. Sometimes, it could be very difficult to find the right garden furniture as there are many durable possibilities in garden design furniture.

Wine Studio Uncorked: Tardieu-Laurent 08 Guy Louis Blanc
"If you can't fly then run if you can't run then walk if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward," ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
We did a bit of crawling last night, as we got off to a rough start, and this was supposed to be the wine that would kick off the inaugural #WineStudio event last night, but because of its potential mass popularity, Twitter decided to bump our event to next week, and in part because there was some other event going on yesterday, involving the President which seemed to take priority.
But that said as many of you may already know our very first Wine Studio 'live' will have to start next Monday, the 28th starting at 6PM [PST]. I hope to see as many of you there as possible, ready to get your Rhone on. As I've indicated this is going to be a five-week journey into this amazing region and you can expect us to stay right there in France, as we will be covering most of the major players and few unexpected regions.
First up in that regard, we are going to focus on the white wines of the Rhone. The kind of white wines that any vino-sapiens would be happy to be sporting in their glass. It's time to say goodbye to wimpy white-wines and say HELLO to some of the amazing Rhone-Zone blends; like Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier.
Typically, I don't drink a lot of white wines myself, but when it comes to white wines like the one pictured above, I'm all about it. This wine has the amazing structure and complexity and some nice weight to it as well. It has a great vein of acidity running through the ample fruit. The abv is a surprisingly low, but welcomed 12.5%, considering the blend 60% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne and 10% Grenache, produced from vines 50 years and older.
The color as you can see is quite striking, grabbing you by the nose is just hint honeyed wet stones aromas and white peach, which don't really jump from the glass, but still gets your attention. This wine offers up an inviting lychee nut, a bit of almond, white-currant liqueur, bit of chalk, and apricot marmalade spread on toast. This wine is really stunning, honeyed, and a bit flamboyant [but without the open shirt and gold medallion].
This wine is very clean and focused. It would pair nicely with many foods, but something like a delish white-sauce pasta dish would be a good match and I found one here that sounds fantastic. If you like get a bottle or two of this wine for yourself; you can do via Protocol Wine Studio they are selling it for $34 each. I scored this wine 91 points and highly recommend that you give it a swirl yourself very soon, until next time, sip long and prosper cheers!

NEW YORK (AP) — Madonna is parting with an abstract French painting she's owned for more than 20 years to support educating girls in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries. It's expected to bring $5 million to $7 million.
Fernand Leger's (lay-ZHAYZ') "Three Women at the Red Table" will be offered May 7 at Sotheby's auction house. All proceeds will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation.
The pop diva says she wants "to trade something valuable for something invaluable" in countries where female education is rare or nonexistent.
She purchased "Three Women" at Sotheby's in 1990.
Leger created the work in 1921 as part of a series depicting women with still-life compositions.
Other examples from the series are in the Dallas Museum of Art and the Beyeler Foundation in Switzerland.

Dozens of little elephant figurines lined the tables as people walked by and inspected each piece of colorful student artwork Friday afternoon.
The event, held at Capistrano Unified School District's Education Center, was part of a community outreach program previewing the upcoming Elephant Parade in Dana Point.
Rob Koscelnik is the general manager of the DoubleTree Suites and the chairman of Dana Point's Tourism Business Improvement District, the group responsible for bringing the event to the city. The improvement district was founded after the recession to attract more tourism to the city – which gets more than a third of its revenue from transient occupancy tax. In December, the city approved a proposal by the district to bring the American Elephant Parade to Dana Point for the first time as a tourism attraction.
Koscelnik answered a few questions about the parade.
Q. What is the Elephant Parade?
A. The Elephant Parade itself has numerous amounts of blank elephants that we have purchased. The agency we work with, Agency 51, is getting some celebrities and local artists as well as artists from across the country to paint the elephant statues. They will be painted by the artists and celebrities, and then they will be sent back to Dana Point and displayed around the city for two months. Then they will be auctioned off at the end, and the proceeds will go back to the organization, the Elephant Parade, to help preserve the Asian elephants.
Q. Why bring it to South County?
A. We heard about the Elephant Parade and we really thought that as an ocean-front destination, we're already connected to saving Earth's creatures – particularly the whales. So we thought there was a great tie between preserving the largest sea mammals and the largest land mammals.
Q. What kind of community outreach have you done for the event?
A. Two thousand fourth- and fifth-graders participated in an event where they designed their own elephants. That group was narrowed down to 50 by the school board VIPs. All 50 will be sent on to the foundation, which will choose one winner and that design will be painted (onto a larger elephant statue) by a local high school art teacher and entered in the exhibition. So it's a great combination of art and education. It was absolutely amazing to see the different individual creative minds at work. They were so different in so many ways. To see them come to fruition on an actual elephant was absolutely unbelievable.
Q. Will there be any other events before the exhibition?
A. There will be a showcase on Aug. 23 at Doheny State Beach. After that, they will be stationed around Dana Point in different locations. They'll be at a mix of inside and outside locations as well as showcased at all four resorts involved in the Tourism Business Improvement District.
Q. What are you most excited for?
A. I think it really showcases Dana Point's commitment to preservation for the world. We're mixing what we have in Dana Point in art and in education. And just to shine the light on (the elephants) with an event that's mostly been held in Asia and Europe until now – and of course in turn to help out the foundation and ensure the survival and welfare of the Asian elephant. We're excited for this opportunity to come to Dana Point.

In Novemeber 2010 kicked off the tenth anniversary festivities celebrating the Claremont Review of Books at the Institute's Salvatori award dinner honoring Mark Helprin in New York. Professor Charles Kesler is the founding editor of the CRB in its current incarnation and took the podium to mark the occasion following Mark Helprin's impassioned speech.
Adding to the festivity of the occasion was the presence in the audience of Sam Tanenhaus, editor of the New York Times Book Review and author of The Death of Conservatism. Professor Kesler's celebratory speech all by itself demonstrated that Tanenhaus's report of conservatism's death was greatly exaggerated — an exercise in wishful thinking. In Professor Kesler's speech the dead man was walking.
Now comes the CRB to celebrate the milestone anniversary with — what else? — a book marking the occasion. The CRB has gathered some of its most important essays, books reviews and illustrations in Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness: Ten Years of the Claremont Review of Books. Together, they diagnose a century of liberal excess and call for a renewed American conservatism, one that takes its bearings from the principles of the American Founding — as Professor Kesler puts it, from "our citizens' loyalty to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and the scenes, both tender and proud, of our national history.
And because man does not live by politics alone, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness touches, too, upon religion, architecture, music, manliness, feminism, film and television, Shakespeare, and other cultural themes.
Professor Kesler has adapted and expanded his celebratory speech of November 2010 into a brilliant introduction to the book. Among the contributors are a roster of conservative intellectual luminaries: Hadley Arkes, Larry Arnn, Martha Bayles, the late William F. Buckley, Jr., Paul Cantor, James Caesar, Joseph Epstein, Christopher Flannery, Harvey Mansfield, Wilfred McClay, Cheryl Miller, Jaroslav Pelikan, Joseph Tartakovsky, Peter Schramm, Michael Uhlmann, Algis Valiunas, William Voegeli, and and the recently deceased James Q. Wilson.
In this book, you might say that the conservatism that Tanenhaus pronounced dead is not only walking. The supposed dead man walks with a swagger.

One of the biggest challenges with using renewable energy for electricity generation—specifically wind and solar power—is intermittency. The wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine. Affordable, reliable, and deployable storage is seen as the holy grail of renewable energy integration, and recent advances in storage technology are getting closer to finding it.
The current electricity grid has virtually no storage—pumped hydropower is the most prevalent, but is largely location dependent. As higher levels of solar and wind energy are added to the grid, however, storage will become increasingly fundamental to ensuring that the power supply remains stable and demand is met. Utilities and businesses around the globe are starting to use large-scale batteries to complement their renewable energy generation: in Texas, for example, Duke Energy installed a 36 megawatt lead-acid storage system to balance its wind power.
Storage technologies not only provide utilities with grid reliability for renewable integration, but also offer additional benefits such as ancillary services, ramp rate control, frequency regulation, and peak shaving, which can lower costs and improve the performance of the transmission system. Power system operators have always had to match electricity demand with supply, and energy storage is an additional tool in their grid-management toolbox.

Last week, I asked: If Obama nominates Hagel, will that make Jews who worry about Iran but voted for Obama useful idiots? After all, Hagel voted against designating Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organization; urged President Bush to open "direct, unconditional" talks with Iran to create "a historic new dynamic in U.S.-Iran relations;" was a reliable "no" vote on sanctions against Iran; and serves on the board of directors of Deutsche Bank, which is reportedly being probed by U.S. authorities for possible violations of the very kinds of sanctions Hagel opposed when he was in Congress.
Alana Goodman adds another dimension to the "useful idiot" question. She reminds us that Obama supporters in the pro-Israel community took pains during the election to assure us that Obama was serious about using military force against Iran, if need be. Thus Alan Dershowitz said in the Jerusalem Post:
There are some, in both parties, who wrongly believe that a policy of "containment" – that is, allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons but containing their use by the threat of tit-for-tat reprisal – is the right strategy. President Obama has explicitly rejected this benighted approach and has instead announced that his policy is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, even if it takes military action to do so. In the meantime, he has ratcheted up sanctions and diplomatic pressure while explicitly keeping the military option on the table.
Several months ago, President Obama invited me to the Oval Office to discuss his Iran strategy. He looked me in the eye and said, "I don't bluff." His actions with regard to Osama bin Laden and the Somali pirates who endangered Americans and threatened to kill them demonstrated his willingness to use force when warranted. So does his increased use of drones to target terrorists who are beyond the reach of capture. I believe President Obama when he says that Iran will not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons on his watch.
Similarly, Jeffery Goldberg wrote in the Atlantic:
I run into people constantly who believe that the bluffer in this relationship is Obama. Their argument holds that Obama will move toward a strategy of containment soon after the election, and that there is no way he would ever use military force to prevent Iran from getting the bomb.
I'm in the camp of people, however, who take him at his word, in part because he's repeated himself on the subject so many times and in part because he has laid out such an effective argument against containment and for disruption, by force, if necessary.
But, as Goodman shows, Hagel strongly opposes using force against Iran:
I do not expect any kind of military solution on the Iran issue. I think to further comment on it would be complete speculation, but I would say that a military strike against Iran, a military option, is not a viable, feasible, responsible option.
In fact, Hagel opposes talking about using force against Iran, even as a bluff:
I think talking about going to war with Iran in fairly specific terms should be carefully reviewed. And that's pretty dangerous talk. It's easy to get a nation into war; not so easy to get a nation out of war, as we are finding out.
If Obama nominates Hagel as his Secretary of Defense, it will be a slap in the face for Dershowitz, Goldberg, and many other liberal American Jews. But that, or worse, is what normally happens to useful idiots.

Homeless suspect says he was defending himself in fatal subway push
NEW YORK – A homeless suspect charged with killing a stranger by pushing him into the path of a New York City subway train told investigators his victim "rolled like a bowling ball" after he landed on the tracks, according to court papers.
In written and videotaped statements, Naeem Davis admitted watching as Ki-Suck Han tried in vain to climb off the tracks before the train hit him, the document prepared by prosecutors says.
Davis, 30, described Han as a drunken instigator of the deadly altercation on a subway platform near Times Square. But he also wrote that he was to blame and "shouldn't have let this happen," the document says.
The papers were made public on Tuesday as Davis pleaded not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges at a Manhattan courthouse. He's been held without bail since his arrest last month.
Davis "had not been bothering anybody" when Han "went after him," defense attorney Stephen Porkart told reporters outside court. If there was a push, it occurred out of frustration, he added.
Han's wife has said she had argued with her husband and that he had been drinking on the morning of Dec. 3. At about 12:30 p.m., Han encountered Davis, who later told police he was on a paid errand to buy merchandise for street vendors.
Davis claimed that after the men accidentally bumped into each other while entering the station, the 58-year-old Han began yelling, "I'll kill you!" He also said Han was staggering and slurring his words.
"I don't know you, you don't know me!" Davis said he responded before trying to walk away.
After Han followed Davis down the platform and tried to grab him, Davis admitted pushing him away. He described Han falling "head first onto the tracks and rolling like a bowling ball," the document says.
At least a minute passed before the train hit the victim. Then Davis said he "freaked" and made his escape.
Davis claimed he didn't intend to kill Han and was only defending himself, the document adds.
The defendant told investigators that he came to the United States from Sierra Leone in 1989, and that he once attended college in Pennsylvania.

MGMT, "MGMT" (Columbia)
Leave your preconceptions at the door — the new self-titled MGMT album is worlds apart from the group's debut "Oracular Spectacular" and 2010's "Congratulations."
Gone are the days when the Connecticut boys sing of models and drugs. "MGMT" is dark. The melody on the record's debut single "Your Life is a Lie" is uplifting with cow bell added to up the tempo. But the lyrics are cutting. "Count your friends on your hands, now look again, they're not your friends," lead singer Andrew VanWyngarden sings with an Eels-esque sardonicism.
Lead-off song "Alien Days" is as close to the old MGMT material as you're going to get. It opens disconcertingly, with strange female vocals, and then drifts into a lazy, slow drum beat and guitar strum. VanWyngarden wryly distorts his voice when singing, "I love those alien days."
The album has weird moments: "A Good Sadness" sounds like computer glitches before VanWyngarden's voice creeps in and under, and a cover of Faine Jade's "Introspection" has an interlude of what seems to be a whistle, juxtaposed with drums and synth, all building up to the chorus.
If you're expecting pop music like "Kids" or "Electric Feel," you won't find it here. But spent time with "MGMT" and you'll find it's an interesting concoction.

With the rise in vendor-prepared foods, cook-chill methods and batch production techniques, the role of warming and holding equipment has grown in importance. Even at four-star restaurants, some cooked-to-order elements must be held just long enough for six different entrees and sides to be presented. Equipment manufacturers are meeting these challenges with an impressive array of holding equipment designed to provide safe haven for bulk product, assembled trays, plated meals and impulse-buy snack items. Here are the prime considerations when looking to buy:
Safe food holding temperatures: Holding equipment must be capable of maintaining constant temperatures while providing easy access to the food. The current FSA Food Code requires that hot food be maintained at an internal temperature of 135°F or higher. When specifying holding equipment, buyers should verify its ability to maintain safe food temperatures.
Maintaining food texture: While hot is nice and necessary, the flavor and texture of food can suffer from an extended stay in holding equipment. Some products (dinner rolls) will dry out when exposed to a dry-heat environment, while other products (crispy fried chicken) can't tolerate high humidity. Winston Industries was founded on the premise that the vapor pressure of foods could be measured and the temperature and humidity inside the holding cabinets adjusted to suit specific products. While the science is sophisticated, the results are simple—extended holding time in an environment that optimizes moisture level. Look to manufacturers with units that can measure and control relative humidity, if extended product holding is routine.
Location, location, location: Hot holding equipment has evolved into many forms to meet operators' specific needs.
Heat lamps and strip heaters are typically used to keep plated meals warm, just prior to service. Suppliers make these available in attractive decorator colors, for use in open kitchens and where visible by diners.
Drawer warmers and holding cabinets provide longer-term storage in and near assembly areas. Almost all holding cabinets have heavy-duty casters for mobility, making satellite feeding safe and practical. Heated display cases are all about enticing guests by showcasing food out in the open, often enhanced with lighting, curved glass and motion.

Oral Contraceptives: Benefits
Based on solid evidence, oral contraceptive use is associated with a decreased risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Description of the Evidence
Oral Contraceptives: Harms
Based on solid evidence, combined current use of estrogen/progestogen oral contraceptive use is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Oral contraceptives are not associated with a long-term increased risk of breast cancer but may be associated with a short-term increased risk while a woman is taking oral contraceptives. The risk of breast cancer declines with time since last use.
Description of the Evidence
Prophylactic Oophorectomy: Benefits
Based on solid evidence, prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy is associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer. Peritoneal carcinomatosis has been reported following prophylactic removal of the ovaries. Prophylactic oophorectomy, along with salpingo-oophorectomy, is generally reserved for women at high risk of developing ovarian cancer, such as women who have a deleterious mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
Description of the Evidence
Prophylactic Oophorectomy: Harms
Based on solid evidence, prophylactic oophorectomy among women who are still menstruating at the time of surgery is associated with infertility, vasomotor symptoms, decreased sexual interest, vaginal dryness, urinary frequency, decreased bone mineral density, and increased cardiovascular disease.
Description of the Evidence
Incidence and Mortality
In 2011, it is estimated that 21,990 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed and 15,460 deaths due to ovarian cancer will occur. Incidence rates have been decreasing by 1% per year since 1992. Death rates for ovarian cancer have been decreasing by 1.7% per year since 2002.[1]
For the general population of women, the lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer is 1.39%; the lifetime risk of dying from ovarian cancer is 1.04%.[2] Some women are at an increased risk due to an inherited susceptibility to ovarian cancer with the magnitude of that risk depending on the affected gene and specific mutation. Underlying ovarian cancer risk can be assessed through accurate pedigrees and/or genetic markers of risk. Because of uncertainties about cancer risks associated with specific gene mutations, genetic information may be difficult to interpret outside of families with a high incidence of ovarian cancer. Three inherited ovarian cancer susceptibility syndromes have been described: (1) familial site-specific ovarian cancer; (2) familial breast/ovarian cancer; and (3) Lynch II syndrome, which is a combination of breast, ovarian, endometrial, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary cancers.[3,4] Considering family history in the absence of specific information on BRCA1/2 mutation status, unaffected women who have two or three relatives with ovarian cancer have a cumulative ovarian cancer risk of about 7%.[3,5] Women who have a mother or sister with ovarian cancer have a cumulative lifetime risk of ovarian cancer of about 5%.
This summary does not address the groups that are at high risk due to inherited genetic factors. (Refer to the PDQ summary on the Genetics of Breast and Ovarian Cancer for more information.)

The pathogenesis of ovarian carcinoma remains unclear. Several theories have been proposed to explain the epidemiology of ovarian cancer including the theory of "incessant ovulation,"[1,2] gonadotropin stimulation,[3] excess androgenic stimulation,[4] and inflammation.[5] Associated risk factors for ovarian cancer support some or all of these hypotheses. Oral contraceptive use is consistently associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer and may operate through preventing the trauma from repeated ovulation by lowering exposure to gonadotropins. No one theory, however, explains all the associated risk factors.
Protective Factors
Factors associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer include: (1) using oral contraceptives, (2) having and breastfeeding children, (3) having a bilateral tubal ligation or hysterectomy, and (4) having a prophylactic oophorectomy.
Oral contraceptives
Multiple studies have consistently demonstrated a decrease in ovarian cancer risk in women who take oral contraceptives.[6,7] The protective association increases with the duration of oral contraceptive use and persists up to 25 years after discontinuing oral contraceptives. A review of the literature demonstrated a 10% to 12% decrease in risk associated with use for 1 year and an approximate 50% decrease after 5 years of use. This reduced risk was present among both nulliparous and parous women.[6] A protective association between oral contraceptives and risk of ovarian cancer has been observed in most studies [8,9,10] among women who carry a mutation in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. A population-based study conducted in Israel did not observe an association between oral contraceptives and ovarian cancer, but parity was protective.[11]
Tubal sterilization
In a prospective study, a 33% decrease in the risk of ovarian cancer among women who underwent tubal sterilization was observed after adjusting the data for oral contraceptive use, parity, and other ovarian cancer risk factors. This study also demonstrated a weaker, although statistically significant, decrease in risk associated with simple hysterectomy.[12]
Prophylactic oophorectomy
Prophylactic oophorectomy is a potential option to reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer for women at high risk. One group for whom this option is considered is women who have an inherited susceptibility to ovarian cancer such as women who have mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC)–associated genes. These women have a lifetime risk much higher than the general population, in the range of 20% to 60%. Evidence of the magnitude of risk reduction associated with bilateral oophorectomy comes primarily from studies of women with an inherited risk of cancer. A family-based study among women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations found that of the 259 women who had undergone bilateral prophylactic oophorectomy, 2 (0.8%) developed subsequent papillary serous peritoneal carcinoma and 6 (2.8%) had stage I ovarian cancer at the time of surgery. Twenty-percent of the 292 matched controls who did not have prophylactic surgery developed ovarian cancer. Prophylactic surgery was associated with a greater than 90% reduction in the risk of ovarian cancer, (relative risk [RR] = 0.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01–0.16) with an average follow-up of 9 years;[13] however, family-based studies may be associated with biases due to case selection and other factors that may influence the estimate of benefit.[14] A study of 315 women with documented HNPCC–associated germline mutations found no ovarian cancer among 47 women who had bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and 12 cases (5%) among women with mutations who had not had surgery for a prevented fraction of 100% (95% CI, 62%–100%). Prophylactic surgery, however, is not 100% effective. Case reports and case series have reported the occurrence of peritoneal carcinomatosis following oophorectomy.[15,16,17]
The degree of risk of ovarian cancer, potential morbidity and mortality of surgery, and the risks associated with early menopause, should be taken into account when considering prophylactic oophorectomy for high-risk women. Adverse effects of bilateral oophorectomy and premature menopause include infertility, vasomotor symptoms, decline in sexual interest and activity, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Among women who have not taken hormone therapy, women undergoing bilateral oophorecotmy were twice as likely to have moderate or severe hot flashes than women who underwent natural menopause (odds ratio [OR] = 2.44; 95% CI, 1.03–5.77).[18] Women at increased hereditary risk of ovarian cancer who underwent oophorectomy without hormone therapy reported statistically significantly more vasomotor symptoms than women choosing screening or those using hormone replacement therapy (HRT).[19] These women also reported lower sexual function scores but the difference was not statistically significant.[19] A meta-analysis of early menopause as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease observed a pooled risk of 4.55 (95% CI, 2.56–8.01) among women with bilateral oophorectomy and early menopause (defined as younger than 50 years).[20] Early menopause is also associated with an increased risk of fracture (OR = 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2–1.8).[21]
Nonhereditary Factors Associated With an Increased Risk of Ovarian Cancer
Hormone replacement therapy/hormone therapy
Postmenopausal use of HRT, also called hormone therapy (HT), is associated with an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.[22,23,24] The risk may vary by use of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), also called estrogen therapy (ET), or estrogen-progestin replacement therapy (EPRT). A cohort study of women who participated in the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project showed an increased risk of ovarian cancer associated with use of ERT/ET and ERT/ET followed by EPRT. A RR of 3.2 (95% CI, 1.7–5.7) was associated with 20 or more years use of ERT/ET only, with a statistically significant trend of increasing risk with increasing duration of use. Although no risk of ovarian cancer associated with EPRT use alone was observed, the number of women in this subgroup was small and an associated risk cannot be ruled out.[23] A case-control study of ovarian cancer also did not find an association between combined estrogen and progestin, but use of estrogen-only therapy for more than 10 years was associated with an increased risk.[25] An association between postmenopausal estrogen use and ovarian cancer mortality also has been shown. Vital status of 211,581 postmenopausal women, all of whom completed a baseline questionnaire in 1982 documenting no history of cancer, hysterectomy, or ovarian surgery was assessed through December 31, 1996. Women who were using estrogen at baseline had a significantly higher risk of ovarian cancer death than women who never used estrogen (RR = 1.51; 95% CI, 1.16–1.96). The risk increased with longer duration of use; women using estrogen at baseline and those who had used estrogen for at least 10 years had a higher risk of ovarian cancer death than did women who had never used estrogen, respectively (RR = 2.20; 95% CI, 1.53–3.17).[26]
The largest double-blind randomized controlled trial of combined HRT/HT was the Women's Health Initiative (N = 16,608). This study found that, after an average follow-up of 5.6 years, women taking combined HRT/HT (compared with women randomly assigned to placebo) had a nonstatistically significant increased risk of invasive ovarian cancer (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.58; 0.77–3.24), with a wide confidence interval.[27]
Infertility treatment
A collaborative analysis of case-control studies, analyzing data from 2,200 women with ovarian cancer and 8,900 control women from 12 U.S. studies, reported an association between fertility drug use, and invasive ovarian cancer.[28] The use of fertility drugs was associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, primarily in women who did not have a subsequent pregnancy. Two case-control studies published subsequent to the collaborative analysis did not find an association between fertility drug use and risk of ovarian cancer.[29,30]
A retrospective cohort study of women evaluated for infertility observed an increased risk of invasive or borderline malignant ovarian tumors associated with prolonged use of clomiphene.[31] Another retrospective cohort of more than 12,000 women evaluated for infertility found an increased risk of ovarian cancer compared with the general population (standardized incidence ratio 1.98; 95% CI, 1.4–2.6). There was no excess risk with the use of clomiphene or gonadotropins. Although the risks of ovarian cancer were slightly higher among women with 15 or more years from first exposure, the number of exposed cases were small (five exposed cases and three exposed cases, respectively) and observed rate ratios were not statistically significant.
Several other cohort studies of women undergoing infertility treatment have not observed an excess risk of ovarian cancer.[32,33,34] In one study, women with unexplained infertility who were not exposed to fertility drugs had an excess risk of ovarian and uterine cancers.[34]
Talc exposure
A cohort study among nurses did not observe a risk of ovarian cancer associated with perineal talc use (RR = 1.09; 95% CI, 0.86–1.37).[35] A meta-analysis of 16 studies observed an increased risk with the use of talc (RR = 1.33; 95% CI, 1.16–1.45); however, there was no evidence of a dose response.
Height, weight, and dietary factors
Obesity is associated with an increased mortality from ovarian cancer.[36] In cohort studies, height and body mass index (BMI),[37,38] including high BMI during adolescence,[38] were associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, suggesting a role for diet and nutrition during the adolescent period.
Associations with specific dietary factors and ovarian cancer are not consistent among observational studies.[39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47]

really hoping to get these to CS900 for milling...
I do not. I was trying to find it also to finish my manik-e-mag modules. No luck as of yet.
The original CAD is owned by the AGDE guys.
Paging automag god Tom Kaye...
I said his name he'll pop up
John & Jackie Sosta along with John Bonich worked on the designs for the modular aluminum body. (Which they own the patents btw) Later, Simon "Manike" Stevens worked on the CnC version of the Xmag. AO liked the CnC design so much Tom Kaye decided to work with AGDE and create a run of 400ish guns.
I would try to contact either John about it. I really doubt they want their designs floating out online for anyone to make though.
I'm actually interested in the CAD as well so I will do my best to find it. I have 2 unfinished Euro Slugs that need it.
im in just need a non cnc xmag body now. hmmm. shouldn't of said no thankyou to tunaman.

Some free time,
and 'SHAZAM' you have a CAD file! stickouttongue
I could model it up for you but it wouldn't be free. I see several (or more) hours of measuring & modeling there. Then a few hours double & triple checking everything.
Also DO NOT take files you find from the internet and use them without checking them. Ive looked at many files posted all over and found that a large amount are not correct. Often close but not correct. Last thing you want it to find that out while cutting a xmag.
I check everything even when it comes from trusted sources.

For sure, personally I could easily burn up at least 2 days engineering that, but I tend to be pretty picky on getting everything exact.
I agree on the free files floating around, I've gone over a few with sad results. I generally find it best just to start from scratch.
I had a feeling this would be the case...
Due to recent events I might not be able to go through any projects for a while, I'm feeling lost I guess
We never had the cad models over here. Sosta and Simon did all of that in England.
