If prosecutors had waited a few more weeks, the 12-year-old accusation that Bill Cosby had sexually assaulted a woman would have legally expired, his first public accuser would have lost her last chance at a trial, and Cosby would not be facing the possibility of a decade behind bars.
Instead, Pennsylvania prosecutors scraped in under the wire, bringing the first criminal case against the legendary comedian shortly before the state's deadline for filing charges of aggravated indecent assault lapsed this month.
The last-minute case has highlighted a subtle but unavoidable fact of life for alleged rape victims: Their cases have legal expiration dates that vary widely across states and create pressure to build a prosecutable case with sometimes limited evidence.
The case involving Andrea Constand, which could become one of the most widely watched sexual-assault prosecutions in history, is a stark example of what's at stake: She told police a year after the alleged assault, but prosecutors determined there wasn't enough evidence to win a conviction. Not until new evidence came to light this summer was the case reopened.
More than 50 women have accused Cosby, 78, of sexual assault in incidents dating back to the 1960s, and most of their cases have already legally lapsed. Experts say deadlines for prosecuting such crimes help protect the legal process from decayed evidence and faded memories.
The newly elected Montgomery County district attorney who filed the charges, Kevin Steele, won in November after vowing to take on the Cosby accusations his opponent had passed on a decade ago.
Cosby's attorneys have vowed to "mount a vigorous defence" against the charges, and attorney Monique Pressley told the Today show on Thursday that Cosby was the victim of "a game of political football." Cosby, who is free on $1 million bail, could face up to 10 years in prison.
In January 2004, Constand, then a director with the women's basketball team of Temple University, Cosby's alma mater, visited his gated mansion outside Philadelphia to discuss her career with the man she saw as a mentor.
After Cosby offered her three pills — what he called "herbal medication" — she felt dizzy and weak, she said. Her "knees began to shake, her limbs felt immobile ... and she began to feel only barely conscious," her attorneys wrote in a 2005 civil court filing.
While she was incapacitated, she said, Cosby fondled and raped her; he later called the act consensual. When Constand told police in 2005, prosecutors declined to file charges, with Montgomery County's then-District Attorney Bruce Castor saying Cosby and the victim could be portrayed in a "less-than-flattering light."
Records from Constand's civil case against Cosby were sealed after she settled in 2006 on undisclosed terms but were released by a federal judge this summer. In them, Cosby revealed he had given consciousness-altering Quaaludes to women with whom he wanted to have sex.
That new evidence prompted the Montgomery County District Attorney's office to reopen Constand's case this summer — unique, said James Shellenberger, a law professor at Temple University, in that media attention probably raised it from the legal grave. The combination of public outrage and lurid details from those unsealed court documents probably prompted a renewed investigation, he said.
"The fact that more and more of these incidents were being reported certainly caused this case to be seen as a more serious matter," Shellenberger said. "We're not thinking of a person who may have committed one sexual assault, but a person who may have committed 50."
Statutes of limitations, originating in Roman law, protect defendants who, over time, can lose access to evidence necessary to disprove accusations against them. As of 2014, 34 states and Washington, D.C., set statutes of limitations on filing sexual-assault charges, ranging from three years to three decades.
Advocates say sex-crime statutes of limitations have often imposed harsh deadlines on both investigators assessing the crime and on victims still struggling to deal with the attack.
Some victims put off going to police because they fear family, friends or law enforcement will blame or judge them for what happened, said Monika Johnson Hostler, president of the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence. Nearly 70 per cent of sexual-assault victims don't tell authorities about their assaults, the Justice Department estimates, and less than 10 per cent of rapes lead to an arrest.
"It takes a lot to come forward," Hostler said. "We see that with victims of all ages. They need time to think about it. They may feel ashamed."
Attorneys for alleged rapists often see stalled cases as a way to sow doubt in accusers' accounts. Martin Singer, a former Cosby attorney, often cited the age of the accusations to undercut them, calling the women's claims "unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40 or even 50 years ago."
"When there's a time lag between the event and reporting it, the defence attorneys are always going to latch on to that and use that to try to sway public opinion," said Scott Berkowitz, founder and president of RAINN, a sexual-violence victims' advocacy group. "But [in the Constand case], there was no significant delay before reporting. There was a delay in prosecuting."
The Cosby case became a political flashpoint in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where Castor, who had declined to charge Cosby, lost his seat to Steele, who announced the charges against Cosby on Wednesday. Steele's win was widely read as a sign that Cosby could soon be charged.
Castor said in July he would be open to prosecuting Cosby himself had he won the race, but Constand's attorney, Dolores Troiani, had said her client wouldn't co-operate with a reopened investigation under Castor's leadership. "How can we possibly trust him?" Troiani told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Filing the case under the wire could raise questions over whether the prosecutor's judgment had been hurried or compromised. But legal analysts said the timing of the charges was a function of events out of Steele's control: The new evidence was unsealed just a few months before the legal deadline.
"If the statute of limitations is about to expire ... they have no choice," said Linda Dale Hoffa, a former federal prosecutor and current criminal defence attorney at the Dilworth Paxson firm in Philadelphia. "If they miss it, they can't bring the case, and that can certainly push them to move faster than people might expect."
Advocates who have fought to end or extend sex-crime legal deadlines have found recent success.
In Indiana, prosecutors can now file rape charges after the state's five-year deadline if new evidence is discovered. "Jenny's Law," enacted in April, was named for a woman whose rapist turned himself in nine years after the attack but could not be arrested because too much time had passed.
In July, Florida widened its prosecution window to eight years from four, inspired by a woman, Danielle Sullivan, who reported her rape 43 days too late.
And in California, lawmakers are moving to join states such as Virginia and Maryland in eliminating the sex-crime statute of limitations altogether.

Hey you!
Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner which meeaaannss… it's time to pull out all your fav warm-weather dresses! Woo-hoo!
PB&J Boutique is awfully fond of any kind of dress – casual, formal, long, short – you name it! And with the addition of some of our special new arrivals, we have close to 200 dresses in our boutique – which we absolutely LOVE because we're covered for any and all occasions – and you sunshines can be too!!
A common struggle for us and some of our most frequent customers is finding the perfect dress for any particular occasion. Why is it so difficult to find a dress for a wedding and why can't I wear it on Easter, too??! I know. Boo. But we're here to help!
The ladies at PB&J have come up with 6 common summer events that usually call for a dress and listed a few ideas for what to wear and how to style them for each occasion. So, here's some inspo for any of you lovelies that are attending one (or all) of these six get-togethers this summer and need a little help!
- Weddings
- Graduation Parties (& ideas for our lovely graduates, too!)
- Baby/Bridal Shower
- Mother's Day
- Brunch
- Dinner & drinks with friends/date night
Let's start with weddings. So fun. So exciting. SO hard to find an outfit. Right? But there's hope! We've been gravitating towards wrap dresses so much for this season because they're so on trend and so easy to wear. Plus, you can dress these up and down and, for lack of better words, you can adjust the modesty to your own comfort – which is awesome for weddings.
We're LOVING this new wrap dress by Auguste The Label for its color and super cozy material – just look at how darling!! We paired this with a super cute pair of tassel earrings and minimal accessories otherwise. Just throw on a pair of heels or cute sandals, grab a clutch and you're set to dance your booty off all night!
Another cute wrap number we've been loving is this new arrival by Knot Sisters. We think the feathers add such a feminine, summery touch. Would look adorable paired with some nude heels and an up-do.
These weddings won't know whats coming!!
The next event is Graduation/Graduation Parties. These are a little more versatile because these parties can range so far from casual to formal. So here's two that are pretty much right in the middle that can be dressed up or down.
This is such a perfect grad look featuring another adorable dress by Knot Sisters and some of our favorite new shoes by Seychelles. We love this one because it's so flattering and trendy. You can wear some simple white sneakers and a pony for a more casual look or pair it with these platform wedges and some curls and dress it up a bit. It would also look so cute under a graduation gown – which is what we're goin' for, of course!
The next look is a little more formal just on it's own – a super sweet dress by En Creme that's really on-trend with it's shoulder cutouts and bright floral pattern. Add a cute pair of heels or wedges and your fav hair style and you're so set. We'd recommend keeping the jewelry minimal with this look – a few rings or a dainty necklace would pull it all together perfectly! And would definitely look adorable on any grad!
Next is Baby and Bridal showers. We like to go for the dainty and delicate with these outfits. Which for us means – pastels, florals and ruffles, oh my! Here's our first look:
Featuring another Auguste The Label favorite – the Daphne Crop Sleeve Wrap Mini dress! This is a go-to for us ladies at PB&J because its short and summery, and SO on-trend. This can be worn with or without a cami underneath (this one is one of our favs by M Rena) depending on the event and what you're comfortable with! We love it paired with these wedges by Seychelles and some of our favorite Quay Sunglasses.
This next look is based around such a beautiful dress by the brand Easel. We love this look for a more formal party or if you're the bride/mommy-to-be because it definitely steels the show! Paired with a simple pair of nude sandals or heels and some light jewelry and you're so ready to celebrate!
Another occasion coming up so so soon, is Mother's Day!! Can you believe how fast this year has gone?? No matter how you celebrate, a dress can always make your day a little sweeter, but because mother's day is often celebrated around family and grandparents, we like to go for something a little more subtle! Here's some of our quiet but super cute pieces for this Spring and Summer.
This first dress is a newbie by Knot Sisters. We love the way it fits and how much it can be adjusted to fit your own personal style. Because its a little more on the basic side of the spectrum, you can pair it with any kind of accessories and shoes that suit you. And because mother's day doesn't always call for something super formal, We'd have fun dressing it down with a scarf and a pair of comfy sneakers.
This look is so cute, especially if it's a little chillier where you live. We love maxi dresses sooo much, and this one is a fav by STILLWATER. It'd be so cute paired with some sandals or little booties. Even add a statement necklace and your favorite sunnies and you're ready as ever!
Next is Brunch! And if you're anything like us girls at PB&J, you take your brunch very seriously. Perfect place. Perfect insta picture of your mimosa…and the PERFECT outfit! That being said, we SO have you covered in this department.
First is this adorable romper by Knot Sisters that we can't get enough of. I know, I know, its not a dress. But it fits so comfortably and flows just like a dress would, so no worries to be had, ladies!! It's so cute with some booties or a pair of wedges and some sunglasses to accessorize. 10/10 all around, people.
Next is this adorable bell sleeved dress by Umgee. We love this brand because it's so affordable, but also because of it's super chill boho vibe that's hard to pass up! This look is so effortless and still so put together and would look so cute with some strappy sandals or your favorite booties.
The final event is a little more geared towards our nightlife ladies! The Dinner/Drinks with friends! Whether it's to celebrate a birthday or catch up with old friends, we all love a night to get dressed up and go out on the town. The stressful part though, is always finding something to wear. Fear no longer, birdies!! Here's our fav looks:
This is one of our newest dresses by STILLWATER. Perfect for going out on the town and would be so cute worn with or without the cami underneath. We loved how it looked paired by these fierce booties by Seychelles and some statement earrings.
This next look is so outgoing and fun with the polka dots and the unique neckline. The ruffles scream flirty – which would be perfect worn on a first date, also! Paired with some simple black heels or booties and an up-do would have you looking so put together! Just don't forget the hairspray ;).
Thank you so much for reading, we so hope this was beneficial for you ladies!

Until next time!

Girl Powered: What's Behind a New Injection of Funds for Girls and Robotics?/
Robotics, a field still heavily dominated by men, is getting a new boost for gender equality.
Women and girls continue to be significantly underrepresented in the STEM fields, and robotics, as one of the artificial intelligence-related fields, is even worse, with robotics competitions today frequently having only a handful of girls in the mix. Research on the numbers of girls enrolled in robotics competitions in one Michigan survey, for example, put the ratio at 14-15 percent.
The lack of gender diversity costs society in myriad ways, first by discouraging women from important career prospects, but also because the growing field of artificial intelligence suffers from the lack of perspectives that girls and women bring -- perspectives that frequently have more of a community and humanitarian focus.
We've written a lot about growing funder on both these fronts. More grantmaking are lining up behind intiatives that bring more girls into STEM fields and, specifically, computer science. Girls Who Code is one effort that's attracted donor dollars, but there are quite a few others we could mention. Meanwhile, a small but growing number of funders are also giving attention to threats potentially posed by artificial intelligence. It's intriguing to think that encouraging more gender balance in this field is one potential way to deal with these threats.
- Where Is Google's Big Money for Girls Coding Headed?
- Helen Gurley Brown May Never Have Used a Computer. But Her Trust is Into Coding
- More Concern From Silicon Valley Donors About the Risks of Artificial Intelligence
- Neither Fish Nor Fowl: Check Out the Unusual New Outfit Researching Artificial Intelligence
All of this is background for considering the news that the Robotics Education and Competition (REC) Foundation and VEX Robotics, Inc., recently announced a new partnership called Girl Powered. With this new initiative, the foundation and corporation will partner to get more young women interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through competitive robotics.
This announcement was kicked off on the UN's Day of the Girl and rolled out with a series of outreach activities including over 50 events, mostly in the U.S., on October 11. A new online challenge called Girl Powered: In her Words Storybook also made its debut as part of the announcement. Both organizations will also begin offering marketing and online resources "intended to aid coaches, mentors, and parents to further engage young women and girls in robotics."
Each year, the REC Foundation presents a series of robotics engineering programs, engaging students from kindergarten to college both in the classroom and at after-school competitions that build interest and skills in STEM fields. With more than 20,000 teams around the world competing in the Foundation's VEX IQ Challenge, the foundation is uniquely positioned to take the field in the direction of improving diversity, both by gender and race.
The REC Foundation has an online resource with information about applying for Robotics team grants broken down by state, and an online application for starting a new team.

Sleek Style
A Contemporary Bath
Marblehead, MA
We redesigned a 90s'-era master bath in its' existing location and layout. The fixtures and materials have brought it to a new highly-contemporary style. The custom, floating vanity features large drawers with organizers inside. The new free-standing bathtub replaced an over-sized, built-in whirlpool tub that was overwhelming the space - giving this elegant bath a more open and airy feel.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving
There's that moment when all you want to do is spend a quiet moment with the person you treasure the most. Just so that you can rest your heart, feel safe and not hurt anymore. Sometimes you can't make that happen, you have an obligation, life gets in the way, you're tired. But sometimes you get that moment and it makes the world okay again. I am so thankful for those little moments. Today is Canadian Thanksgiving. Kevin's Dad left on Saturday. We had an amazing time, I miss him already. I miss his Mom, I miss my friends, my family. I miss the traditions we started where we use to live, the pies I use to make and the people who use to eat them.
We've been here a year now. It was a year on September 30th. The insanity of what we've done, is still pretty fresh. The happiness we've found is also still pretty fresh. And while I miss people, I don't miss working, or the place, though city life is great the quietness of here is lovely. Life is amazing here and I'll take those quiet moments with Kevin and share pies with new people. Together we'll stretch our wings and have new adventures and it's gonna be awesome.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving my beautiful friends in celebrating today
I'm a lifestyle blogger, covering deep subjects including body images, battles with food, and overcoming how I was raised. I try to be as authentic as possible and I don't sugar coat how I see things.

Pre-order delays for iPhone 5 grow to 3-4 weeks in the US
The new iPhone 5 is a tough phone to get. We've already seen what it's like in front of Apple's brick-and-mortar stores, but there's quite the line forming at their virtual stores as well.
Pre-orders started on September 14 and hit 2 million in a day. The iPhones pre-ordered then should ship on September 21, but if you are to pre-order one now you'd be in for a long wait - the Apple Store site warns it will be 3 to 4 weeks before the latest iOS smartphone ships.
That's for the US store. A quick glance at the Canada store shows the delays there will be the same.
The situation at the UK Apple Store is a bit better. In Britain the iPhone will be dispatched in 2-3 weeks, unless you want the 16GB model in black - that will take 3-4 weeks (that's likely the most popular model).
The German store lists 2-3 week delays for all models and so does the French store. Australians who pre-order now are looking at 3-4 week wait before their new iPhone ships.

Analyst: 2012 Could Be the Worst Year Yet for Gas Prices
(NEW YORK) -- To the dismay of drivers across the country, 2011 went down in the record books as having the most expensive gasoline average ever -- $3.513 for the year, 72 cents per gallon higher than 2010′s yearly average, according to GasBuddy.
Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy's senior petroleum analyst, projects that by Memorial Day, the national average will be between $3.86 to $4.13 per gallon, and that prices in 2012 will come close to or set new all-time highs. If that happens, drivers could spend $200 to $300 more for gas this year.
Inflation adjusted data from the Energy Department's U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) confirmed that 2011 was a record year. The real annual average for a gallon of regular gas last year hit $3.56, up from $2.90 in 2010, according to the EIA. From its data that begins in 1919, the previous record high was in 1981, at $3.45.
Of course, in 2008 gasoline prices had the longest stretch of $4 or more, but the yearly average was $3.24, according to GasBuddy's data, which goes back to 2000. In 2008, gas prices slid from October to December 2008 to less than $2 a gallon nationally.
Over the past seven years, according to GasBuddy data, gasoline prices rise an average of 93 cents per gallon from the start of the new year to when they eventually peak the same year, DeHaan said.
"Typically, prices peak in the summer months, or around Memorial Day, as has been the case in 2010 and 2011," he said.
An increase of 93 cents a gallon could mean average gas prices may rise more than $4 a gallon and could easily approach record highs, he said. In 2004, gas prices had the largest price difference from the new year to their peak, when prices climbed $1.31 per gallon.
If such a gain occurred this year, that would mean the national average could rise to well over $4.25 a gallon, and some areas could see $5 a gallon.
"While that's not very likely, it does represent a realistic worst case scenario," he said.
DeHaan said he is traditionally reserved about forecasting oil prices, which hovered above $102 a barrel on Thursday. But he said 2012 would almost certainly break all records, in part because of political tension with Iran over its nuclear program.
Iran has threatened to close a key oil passageway, the Strait of Hormuz, in possible retaliation for new economic sanctions from the U.S. and the European Union. Iran holds the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves, and the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, according to the EIA.
Should Iran become more hostile and cause a supply disruption, oil prices could soar to all-time highs and approach $175 to $200 a barrel, DeHaan said.

SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Steve DiMeglio dissects the historic course which last hosted the U.S. Open in 2004. When Fox Sports' audio cut out briefly during coverage of Friday's second round of the U.S. Open, that was the least of the network's worries. During the broadcast on FS1 on Friday afternoon, microphones inadvertently picked up two fans talking about sex in explicit and offensive terms. According to Awful Announcing, Fox announcer Joe Buck was commenting on a shot by Patrick Reed when the audio picked up two male fans talking about sex. After their voices cut out, Buck picks up with his golf commentary without missing a beat. As expected with thousands on hand at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, yells from the crowd were pretty raucous during the action this week.
On Friday afternoon, a man impersonating Donald Trump was thrown out of a hospitality tent after yelling greetings at golfers.
Well, that was another exciting day in the world of golf. I am kind of sorry that TIGER missed the cut, though.

Not long ago someone asked me why I'm blogging. I suspected my reasons are pretty much the same as anybody else's: I have some things I want to say, and I enjoy writing. I started this blog two and half years ago, primarily to get myself writing again. I had been involved in another project and had stopped writing. Virtually all writers, and writing teachers, will tell you that if you want to be a writer you have to write every day. The blog concept seemed like a good motivator to start writing again. But there are a lot of other ways to exercise one's writing muscles: diaries, journals, and of course working on the book that I will never complete. The main difference with a blog is that it's public, while each of those others is a private endeavor.
So the main driver for this being a blog, rather than some private writing exercise, is the notion that I want other people to read what I have to say. I suspect that that's true of virtually any blogger, anyone with a personal webpage, anyone posting a review on Amazon.com, anyone posting a video on YouTube or photos on Flickr, etc., etc.
I read somewhere that the average blog is read by six people and maintained for three months. In terms of duration, my first shot at this blog beat the average. I kept it going for four months. I'm not certain, but I don't think I made it to six people. Six months later, two more postings – almost like a hiccup, or perhaps a flashback. A year and a half after that, for some reason I started up again.
The distinction between a blog and a private journal is that others are reading the blog. The author is looking for feedback, or a reaction, or something. Throwing a blog out into the void is spectacularly frustrating. If I were writing a private journal that no one would ever see, feedback would be surprising and possibly horrifying. But writing a public blog with no feedback just feels ridiculous. Hello? Hello? Is there anybody out there? There are little buttons at the bottom of each blog that say "like," and "dislike." No one ever pushes them. Is that because there's no one reading the blog, or because no one makes it through an entire blog entry, or because no one has an opinion, or because no one has an index finger with which to click their mouse button? Most of all, of course, what I'd really like to see are comments. The most interesting comment I've gotten in the last two and half years is from my friend Ken, correcting an error. Hi Ho.
Somewhere in the back of their mind I think every blogger wants to be the next "Daily Kos," or Huffington Post. They want to pretend that they'll be recognized as the next great writer and thinker, heralded far and wide both for the quality of their ideas and the quality of their prose. With approximately 6 people reading my blog, and none of them offering any feedback whatsoever, it certainly feels like an exercise in futility – shouting out into some black empty void.
I wonder if it's time to plant potatoes.

Ku coba ungkap tabir ini
Kisah antara kau dan aku
Terpisahkan oleh ruang dan waktu
Menyudutkanmu meninggalkanku
Ku merasa tlah kehilangan
Cintamu yang tlah lama hilang
Kau pergi jauh karena salahku
Yang tak pernah menganggap kamu ada
Asmara memisahkan kita
Mengingatkanku pada dirimu
Gelora mengingatkanku
Bahwa cintamu tlah merasuk jantungku
Sejujurnya ku tak bisa
Hidup tanpa ada kamu aku gila
Seandainya kamu bisa
Mengulang kembali lagi cinta kita
Takkan ku sia-siakan kamu lagi
Back to *, Reff:
Sejujurnya ku tak bisa
Hidup tanpa ada kamu aku gila
Takkan ku sia-siakan kamu lagi.. (2x)

Subsonic .22 hornet loads
Dear mr. kekkonen, with interest i have read your dates about reloading subsonic ammunition. after good results with my Steyr PIV with B&T silencer, i want to 'play' with my .22 hornet, barrel 45 cm and different kemira powders. i have the program quick load, but i do not trust results in subsonic speed. Have you any experience in this caliber, can you help with reloading dates in safe pressure?
thank you very much for your help! best wishes, richard
Caliber .22 Hornet is among the most suitable ones for subsonic handloading. I have not personal experience in this very caliber, but a lot of knowledge. Why distrusting in the QUICKLOAD program?! It may give some incorrect information when some "odd sized" cartridges (like Weatherby Magnums) or cartridges (like .243 Winchester) inherently prone to generate Secondary Explosion Effect or at least hangfires, are loaded with reduced charges of rifle powder: A computer is unable to think or deliberate. It's user behind the keyboard or an operator clicking the mouse should carry out all the real brainwork. And I must repeat that .22 Hornet is among the least risky cartridges for "supu" loading, with certain conditions.
Do not use too heavy bullets! Those with weight 40 - 45 grains are O.K. A round-pointed flat-based bullet, weighing 50 grains may be still short enough to become stabilized in it's flight by rotational rate of .22 Hornet rifling. If you are able to acquire swaged or cast lead alloy bullets, use them for supu (subsonic) loads. Recommended weight is again 40 to 45 grains. A cast bullet LYMAN No: 225415 is about the ideal projectile for this very purpose. With the gas-check, it weighs usually slightly less than 50 grains. Suggested overall length of Hornet cartridge is 1.65 inches (42 millimeters) or slightly shorter (if needed) with this bullet.
Your powders may be of some "matured vintage", because Finnish KEMIRA Oy has not been the "mother company" of VihtaVuori powder plant since 1st January 1997. VihtaVuori is today a part of Fenno-Scandian explosives consortion, NEXPLO AB. For the supu loads with lead alloy or jacketed bullets are any of powders in series N300 suitable. "Cream of the cream" are powders N310 and N330. (Last mentioned is especially good for short-barreled rifles, equipped with a suppressor/ silencer). Suggested starting load for any & all recommended bullets is 2.0 grains (0.13 gram) with any kind of powder in series N300. You should "fine tune" your powder charge yourself. Please, note! Read the words "STARTING LOAD" literally. When you are developing the subsonic load for a .22 Hornet cartridge, the correct powder charge (giving truly subsonic bullet velocity and a good accuracy) may be some 1.8 or 1.9 grain of powder, but if needed, you may add the charge with 0.1 grain increments until the "whiplash noise" of transsonic or supersonic bullet is audible. Then you should reduce the charge one or two tenths of a grain.
Do not try to develope subsonic Hornet loads with ANY rifle powder, although the case volume is small. Reduced charges of rifle powders (even the quickly burning N110, which is good for full-power Hornet loads) shall not generate high enough chamber pressure for regular combustion. Surfaces of rifle powder kernels are usually coated with chemicals (deterrents), which shall reduce flammability of powder, and combustion of it until the coated surfaces of the kernels are burned through. Reduced charge shall usually become extinguished, leaving the bullet lodged in the bore, but sometimes the powder shall smoulder and generate detonating mixture of gasses.
When this coctail of gasses shall explode by heat and/or pressure inside the rifle chamber and bore, the shooter has a true bomb in his/her hands. It may be hard to believe the disaster what a considerably sub-minimum charge 0.20 gram of shotshell powder is able to generate behind 8 grams bullet in the .308 Winchester rifle: Shooter lost almost his life or at least his left arm. A charge 1.10 gram of the same kind of powder and same kind of bullet was completely safe in use: Five or six consecutive shots gave exactly same muzzle velocity. Accuracy is of "Bench Rest" class. Minimum charge of this very powder VV N320 is 0.40 gram in .308 Win behind the bullet LAPUA S374, but two foolhardy Finnish lads didn't believe it without a painful experience. Another almost lost his eyesight. He loaded 0.20 gram of N320 behind a jacketed D-46 bullet with weight 11 grams, while minimum charge of powder N320 is ca. 0.50 gram!
Behind the cast and lubricated lead alloy bullet, weighing ca. 6 grams (LEE 311-93-1R sized to diameter .309") the 0.20 gram charge of N320 was completely safe, subsonic and able to generate a very good accuracy. That's why I recommend use of cast bullets for the subsonic loads, if they are available, but the lubricated jacketed bullets are a fair substitute of them.
Food for thought above.

RAID Bug Number
QC Number
When using the classic undocked layout with the floating VCL designer, the design window was not minimized when the IDE was minimized.
The compiler destroyed the stack pointer when either -O1 or -O2 were used. Also, the compiler added unnecessary code that made the optimized code slower and larger than the unoptimized code.
With a Delphi component that had several private TRect fields, the C++ compiler mismatched the offset addresses of the TRect structures.
Frequent "incorrect project override option" errors occurred, after which the project could not be compiled without re-starting C++Builder.
When CodeGuard options were turned on for any build configuration, every configuration would link with cg32.lib and could not be turned off.
Code completion failed in header files that were not specifically tied to a C++ unit.
When code completion failed for a header file, multiple "Unable to open input file" messages appeared in the Build tab.
The C++ compiler returned "Internal back end error C1038".
Dependency checking was slow when large .objs were present.

i've got a warrior on the multiplayer version. if anyone wants to play just aim me at WDPsoandso. We can try and find Falleran and bust some Krug heads too.
You should get FF XI. Of course, everyone should get FF XI
I have DS, though I was quite pissed that after I reached a high level, my friend was able to make a new character, get a trainer, and surpass me in a matter of seconds. Seems like Diablo 1 all over again.
Trainer? Anyway I like leveling normally, that's the point of the game. plus you can just say screw the quests, lets explore. i had a lot of fun being chased by by krug chuckers.
I asked my mother to get me FFXI for Christmas. so I might get it
Rock on majin!

On March 19, 2016, 200 people hiked along one straight line directly through the open spaces and private yards starting from my residency, crossing the entire Tarwewijk of Rotterdam.
The group went through front doors and out backdoors and into the neighbour's yard on the following street. The continuous line included schools, churches, homes and gardens and crossed seamlessly from one location into the next. There were negotiations with each resident or owner of a location so that the line would flow without interruption. An important motive was to juxtapose the idea of a map with its many associations (the readable, the controllable, the engineered) with the real life in urban society.The promenade brought in a strange, improper, artistic idea in the neighbourhood which functioned as a catalyst for discussions on both the possible meaning of the walk and views on urban environment, private and public space. At the same time the work refers to a collective body, by doing a poetic 'connecting' action that sets the scene for equality and breaks apart hierarchies.

The error message above is thrown in /opt/IBM/GPFSPatternLogs/gpfsRebuild.log as customer forgot to upgrade the kernel-devel. We have init.d scripts that will rebuild the portability when the system is rebooted. This assumes that customer would reboot the system after kernel update for the update to be effective.
As per https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSCR9A_2.2.2/doc/GPFS12/gpfs_build_portlayer.html we recommend that whenever customer updates kernel, they need to update the right version of kernel-devel and then reboot.
For your case: If the kernel is upgraded to 2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.x86_64 then you should
yum update kernel-devel-2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.x86_64
and then perform a system reboot.

|Lunchbox memories
Photo from: rhombitruncated
fiambreras (literally a cold cut container), lunchbox. It was a round container made of wood with a wooden top. Muleteers carried them with them when traveling. It contained pork that could last a long time such as shoulder meat, trotters, ears, bellies, chorizo etc. While on the road, the muleteer would eat pork from his lunchbox. Then he stopped at a roadside inn and asked for a bowl of broth. See cocido. [Sutil. 1994:163]

Visual Storytelling with Ron Haviv and Gary Knight
Long time friends and collaborators and co-founders of VII, Ron Haviv and Gary Knight met in Bosnia in the early 1990′s where they were photographing the war in the former Yugoslavia and have been close friends ever since.
Both photographers produced some of the most important and celebrated work of their careers in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo, during the wars that lasted from 1991 through to 1999. They are returning to former Yugoslavia to teach their first photography masterclass in a region still struggling to emerge from that violent civil war.The masterclass draws from the workshops they have taught independently for over a decade.
This masterclass will appeal to anyone interested in pushing the limits of their photography. Whether you are a professional fine-tuning your vision, a committed amateur, or student wanting to learn new techniques to reach your potential or you simply want to have a fantastic photographic adventure this workshop will be an intense and transformative learning experience.
Utilizing one week of programming the masterclass is designed to maximize the amount of time you will have for photography without compromising the time for instruction, technique and thoughtful critique.
The program will start with a day of preparation in storytelling and technique in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Following that, you will commence a 5-day photography project where you can immerse yourself in a story of your choice in the rich and diverse culture of the region. We will conclude the workshop with a day of editing and post production and a projection on the last night.
Prior to the masterclass you will have the opportunity to work by e-mail with Gary and Ron to develop an idea that you can photograph during the masterclass. Your idea can be developed further when the masterclass starts.
Day 1: June 16
You will spend the first day with Gary and Ron working on storytelling technique which will include a portfolio review and discussion about your projects for the following week. Group dinner in the evening.
Day 2 through Day 6: June 17 – 21
You will work on your own projects in Bosnia, returning in the evening for a daily edit session with Ron or Gary. Ron and Gary will present their own Balkan work and the work of other photographers who have worked in the region during the week and both will be available to talk about the business of photography.
Day 7: June 22
Final edit. You will work with Gary and Ron to edit and sequence your work culminating in a public projection in the community on the 7th day.
Depart on June 23
The masterclass fee is $3,000.
There will be a maximum of 16 attendees. All participants must be 18 years or older. Reserve your spot with a 40% deposit.
During the Sarajevo assignments Gary and Ron will be based downtown. Sarajevo is a small city and easy to walk around. Students are responsible for their own accommodation, food, travel and all other costs associated with the masterclass.

Righteousness scares me
We saw the Old Vic's production of Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible' last night. It's a superb production, but what struck me most forcibly was how good the play is. I'm hard to please in the theatre, and usually emerge muttering, 'I didn't believe any of it.' This is written in a semi-Biblical 17th century English that should have set my teeth on edge, but I believed every word and every moment. The dramatic structure that Miller has built around the Salem witch trials is masterly. He simply never puts a foot wrong. The greatest tribute I can offer is that it chilled and horrified me, not about Massachusetts two hundred years ago, but about the world today. As the play ground towards its grim climax I wanted to punch the chief prosecutor Danforth in the face until he could no longer speak.
For some reason I dread the power of groups to enforce an ideology on individuals almost more than anything else. This isn't just about religious orthodoxies, or cults; it's about any form of pressure that tries to prescribe how I dress or speak or hold opinions. I'm not a rebel at all, so I don't quite know where this violent reaction comes from. Perhaps from a sense of my own weakness, my own tendency to conform and want to please. Perhaps all too aware of how I, if placed under pressure, would name names, I despise McCarthy's show trials and I despise Soviet show trials. I reject utterly those intellectuals who argue that we must collude with a lie in order to serve a greater good. This is what leads British judges to condemn innocent men rather than bring the law into disrepute, and what leads the police to close ranks and lie, and what leads the members of any institution to silence whistleblowers, saying, 'Hide the lesser crime for the greater good.' There is no greater good.
Righteousness scares me. Robespierre, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and the fighters of the Islamic State have all been convinced of their own righteousness, that they do what they do for the greater good. In this new century, even we, the tolerant West, torture for the greater good. Arthur Miller understood that there is no greater good, only what is good.

World War II from the German Perspective
Well, almost from the German perspective . . . actually an American movie taking place in Germany explaining the public perception of Doctor Paul Joseph Goebbels, with what was known publically about the relationship between Dr. Goebbels and a lady he loved Maria Brandt. As we watch this story of a man who loved Maria and was scorned by her, we also get a unique view of the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany by many of the Germans who fled to America before the war started. This story was filmed in 1944 as the war was raging around the world, and the story doesn't reflect all of the atrocities that were later discovered by the world. In fact, the real Dr. Goebbels would die by his own hand within a year after this movie hit the big screen. With World War II raging and D-Day still in the future as this movie was being filmed, the movie theater audience and the D-Day Allied invasion of Normandy, France was still in the future and the outcome of the war was far from certain. If anyone in the West still had reservations about defeating the Nazi regime, this film might change some minds. The German actor who played the part or Dr. Goebbels, Wolfgang Zilzer, who looked remarkably like the real Dr. Goebbels, was concerned about his image that he insisted on being credited not as Wolfgang Zilzer, but Paul Andor, not wanting to connect his real name with the infamous brute. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn and return to the dangerous, dark and confusing days of the greatest conflict in the modern history of the world.

Vector control can be effective against Leishmaniasis
Vector control can also be effective in protecting people against other insect-borne diseases, such as leishmaniasis.
Reyburn H, Ashford R, Mohsen M, Hewitt S, Rowland M: A randomized controlled trial of insecticide-treated bednets and chaddars or top sheets, and residual spraying of interior rooms for the prevention of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Kabul, Afghanistan, Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg 2000, 94: 361-366. DOI: 10.1016/S0035-9203(00)90104.
Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a significant public health problem in many towns and cities of south central Asia and the Middle East, resulting in disfigurement and disability which warrants preventive action. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1997/98 amongst a non-immune study population of 3666 people in Kabul, Afghanistan, to compare the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), insecticide-treated Islamic cloth wraps (chaddars) used to sleep in, and residual pyrethroid spraying of individual houses for the prevention of ACL. Dosages of insecticide were: ITNs with permethrin, 0·5 g/m2; chaddars with permethrin, 1 g/m2; rooms with lambdacyhalothrin, 30 mg/m2. Cases of ACL were diagnosed on clinical criteria. At the end of the trial period (15 months) the incidence of ACL amongst controls was 7·2%, amongst ITN users 2·4% (OR 0·31, 95% CI 0·2–0·5), amongst impregnated chaddar users 2·5% (OR 0·33, 95% CI 0·2–0·6) and amongst residents of sprayed houses 4·4% (OR 0·60, 95% CI 0·3–0·95).
ITNs and impregnated chaddars were equally effective, providing about 65% protective efficacy, with approximately 40% protective efficacy attributable to individual house spraying. No significant differences for age or sex were found between new cases in the intervention and control groups. No serious side-effects were reported and interventions were generally popular; ITNs were the most popular, followed by residual spraying and then impregnated chaddars.

Yes, Virginia, there is culture in Santa Ana. Seriously, The Wooden Floor (previously known as Saint Joseph Ballet), is an extraordinary after-school organization that was formed in 1983 and continues to provide tutoring, academic services, counseling and – The Leaf's particular passion – dance education – to mostly Latino, low-income youth. Nearly 400 students, age 8-18 are currently enrolled and, since 2005, 100% of graduates from The Wooden Floor have gone on to college.
Now that's impressive. Melanie Rios Glaser, executive and artistic director of The Wooden Floor, is also a professional choreographer whose work has been performed in Mexico, Central America, France, Brazil…and the list goes on. She also commissions contemporary choreographers to make new dances on the kids. Indeed, last year, at REDCAT, a group of students performed excerpts from – gasp – Merce Cunningham's Roaratorio. Incroyable!
Merce Cunningham's Notes on Roaratorio, with music by John Cage.
But true. And this year promises to be equally spectacular, with the concert, coincidentally, also called TRUE. At the Irvine Barclay Theatre June 2-4, the program features Rios Glaser's reworking of her 2010 piece, True or False: I Was Born in the Netherlands, a piece by Alpert Award winner Susan Rethorst, and a work for 97 kids by John Heginbotham. Heginbotham has been a dancer with Mark Morris Dance Group since 1998 and recently performed in Morris' 1988 masterpiece, L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. (Click here to read my blog posting on Mr. Morris, one of my all-time favorite artists, and click here to listen to my KUSC interview with him.)
No wonder John works well with kids: Here he is in Central Park, a kid at heart himself.
Having seen a rehearsal of Heginbotham's Pieces of Wood, The Leaf was duly impressed. Listen to her interviews with Rios Glaser and Heginbotham on KUSC-FM radio (via the YouTube post below). Then get yourselves on the freeway and down to Orange County to check out the accomplishments of The Wooden Floor, a spectacular educational model that should be duplicated throughout the States.
Dance: It's the art form that keeps on giving.

A work of art is defined as a piece of creative work, especially a painting or sculpture. One of the latest trends in the wedding industry are hand painted wedding cakes, which are truly works of art that you can eat! The bride will always be the center of attention on her wedding day, with the wedding cake coming in as a close second. Aside from tasting great, your wedding cakes should look amazing. I've gathered some of my favorites for you to feast your eyes on.
The wedding cake is important because it's a symbol of the bride and groom's eternal love and one of the centers of attention on your wedding day. It's the first things your guests will look for, upon entering your reception. For this reason, much time is devoted into coming up with the perfect design.
Hand painted wedding cakes are quickly becoming some of my favorites because the designs are not limited to the shape of the cake. Regardless of the shape, the cake is a blank canvas. From floral patterns to tea cup designs and scene silhouettes, the options are endless. The paintings can provide movement, texture, and a type of mood or feeling to the wedding cake.
What will your work of art look like? Happy planning!
