Good cross trainer
"I do Zumba several times a week in addition to T25 and weight training. While Nikes used to be my go-to brand for all athletics, I've found that they seem to be lacking in the past few years in the area of support and shock absorption for higher impact activity. These ones are very comfortable and not too bad in the absorption area, but are lacking a little in arch support which I need, having flatter feet than average. With additional insert support they will be perfect, but they are great for me to wear when weight training and doing lower impact activities."

But they are great every day sneakers!"

Just what the gym class ordered...
"These have to be the absolute BEST pair of workout shoes I've ever had. I do workout classes like Zumba, T25, TRX circuit trainer, etc, that require a flexible, light-weight shoe. The mesh sides give great ventilation so your feet won't get hot. The wide toe-box offers excellent space for your toes to spread when you are doing your squats and lunges. If you have extremely narrow feet, I DO NOT recommend this shoe for you. I will say that eventually, i probably will end up getting an insole for more arch support but even with that being said, this shoe is AMAZING."

Love these!
"I got these specifically for use inside for workouts like Focus T25, Turbo Fire, and weight lifting because they are SO light and much nicer to be jumping around in vs regular running shoes.I fell in love with the color when I opened the box even more than online (I got the blue with coral trim) and was even more surprised at just HOW lightweight they are! I might have to get more..."

Bupleurum Root (Bupleurum chinense)Latin Name: Bupleurum chinense

Bupleurum Root, as its Latin appellation (Bupleurum chinense) suggests, is obtained from a plant native to China, where it is known as chai hu. It is one of the most important botanicals used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); such practitioners suggest that bupleurum root is effective in regulating one's qi, or "life-force," and like St. John's Wort, used in TCM for depression.

Mercanti Fiorentini Leather Pump
"Being between a 7 & 7.5, when I select a good-quality leather heel, I will buy a 7. After wearing them 2-3 times, they are perfect. I picked the 7, and these were flying off. When I went back to the site to order a 6.5, they were out.Also, this offering of Navy is very, very dark. I put it up next to my black leather peeptoe in a well-lit area and couldn't really tell the difference.Bottom line: super cute, well made. I should have ordered the 6.5 & the 7 to test drive, and had they been a shade or two lighter, would have totally worked! Good thing DSW has the best return policy in the world. :)"

Poor Quality Leather
"Wanted to love these shoes. Took them out of the box and fell in love but once I put them on... knew I would return them. The leather is thin and wrinkles on the sides, too much to ignore. Sent back this morning. Even on sale they just weren't worth the money."

CHEAP - Not worth the price
"I bought these because they looked like the perfect nude peep toe, and the shape IS great. However, the leather is super thin on the sides and looks cheap. I returned them."

"The reviews were very confusing and different: half size smaller, half size bigger... I am not sure what it was about - it's absolutely true to size, at least for me. I wear 8.5, ordered 8.5 and it fits perfectly. Is it possible that it's true to size only in that size? Others complained... Anyway, very nice soft leather, great nude color and classic shape. Highly recommended!"

Meghan Casserly, Forbes Staff
Entrepreneurship. By women, of women, for women.
"I don't understand why nobody takes me seriously!" says a young woman at a weekend course on assertiveness for women. The petite engineer smiles at the classroom. "I'm smart, capable and assertive," she says, "but no one respects me!" The entire classroom bursts out laughing.
The secret's in the smile.
As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Or, in this case, a smile: No matter how often we weigh in on workplace goings on, how brilliant our ideas, how Calvinist our work ethic, we are judged by how we present ourselves. Research shows that it takes four minutes to make a first impression, and, according to a widely cited study by UCLA professor Albert Mehrabian, body language accounts for 55% of that impression (38% comes from tone of voice; the remaining 7% from our actual words).
Video: Feet Speak Louder Than Words
Video: Body Language Mistakes Women Make
First impressions are especially important for women in the workplace, where shaping perception and building a personal brand is paramount to success. Dr. Lois Frankel, career coach and author of the newly re-released Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office, makes it her business to give women advice on managing the impression they make and maintaining their reputation in the business world: "Your first impressions are your first opportunity to sell yourself, your business and your brand."
Many are aware that body language can be a hindrance in presenting your best self, but it can also be a tool for managing other people's perceptions of you.
By identifying common body language behavior, women can effectively manage others' impressions of them. For example, says Frankel, grooming gestures, most noticeably touching of the hair, or tucking hair behind the ears, can diminish a woman's credibility in a business setting. The gesture is demure, she says, and can take years off of your perceived maturity level if done without thought. However, when delivering a particularly harsh message at work, purposefully making the same gesture can serve to soften the blow, or give the impression that you are more caring or empathetic.
It boils down to awareness. If you're conscious of your body language ticks, you can manipulate them in certain settings and use them to your advantage.

Here are some of the more common behaviors we might not be aware we are doing:
–Tilting your head–a sign of listening that can be misinterpreted as one of submission or even flirting.
–Folding your hands on your lap–hiding your hands under a conference table or desk, for example, signals untrustworthiness; a cue from ancient times, when men would reveal their palms to show they were unarmed.
–Crossing your legs–a sign of resistance.
–Excessive smiling–an indication that you lack gravitas and seriousness.
–Folding your arms in front of you–translates to insecurity or defensiveness.
–Playing with or tugging at your hair, jewelry or clothes–can signal distress or, again, be misinterpreted as flirting.
Many of these habits are deeply engrained and, even when we think we have expunged or learned to control them, tend to flare up when we are in stressful or nervous situations.
So, how do we mitigate these ticks, or even put them to good use, if we aren't even aware of them?
"A mirror can do a lot," says Kinsey Goman, executive coach and author of The Nonverbal Advantage. "Practice your speech a variety of ways–with your head tilted, your head straight–and note the difference. Practice your gestures. Gestures are terrific, but don't do them above the shoulder–you'll look too erratic."

Carey O'Donnell, president of Carey O'Donnell Public Relations Group, recommends videotaping presentations and then watching them without sound. "When we see ourselves in pictures, or especially on TV, we often say, 'Who in God's name is that?'" she laughs. "When you watch yourself without sound, pay attention to visual cues–are you waving your hands frenetically, laughing inappropriately when no one else is laughing, looking around nervously? Then watch it a second time for voice tone and bridges [such as] likes and you knows."
As for dealing with nerves beforehand, Theresa Zagnoli, founder and CEO of Zagnoli McEvoy Foley, a communication and litigation consulting firm, recommends shutting the door of your office or retreating to the restroom and taking 10 to 20 deep-belly breaths. Another trick: releasing nerves by scrunching your toes–an act that, unlike fiddling with your hair or retreating back in your chair, will go unnoticed.
Zagnoli also preaches a tactic called "mirroring," which Frankel says can be particularly helpful when judging how prolonged eye contact should be, or what the appropriate posturing is for a given situation.
"The idea is that the more like the person you're dealing with you can become, the more you will connect," Zagnoli says. "Is the person you are sitting across from soft-spoken? Does he or she speak slowly, smile and laugh a lot? Is their pad on the desk or their lap, do they take notes copiously, are their legs crossed, are they leaning forward or backward? I take note of all these things and then chameleon myself to become more like that person."
Some businessmen and women balk at this idea–or at the idea that we have to transform ourselves in order to get ahead. But it is not a compromise, Zagnoli assures. This–the mirroring, the mimicking and the suppression of bad habits or impulses–"doesn't change who you are," she says. "It doesn't change your heart, what is in your head, your ideas. In fact, changing how you carry yourself allows us to communicate those thoughts and feelings more fully."

For six months, straddling late 1973 and early 1974, the city had 14 random killings. Most of the victims never saw it coming, shot in the back or the back of the head, execution-style, in what came to be called the Zebra murders.
The shootings were racially motivated and usually happened at night along the Divisadero Street corridor. Here are three that were out of the norm but crucial to the case.
On the evening of Oct. 19, 1973, Quita and Richard Hague came out of their four-story Victorian apartment building at 399 Chestnut St., at Stockton Street. They went west, downhill toward North Beach, maybe in front of Francisco Middle School one block down, when a white van pulled alongside with three men inside. The body of Quita Hague, 28, was found the next day on the railroad tracks across town. Her husband survived. The spree had begun.
Two months later, on Dec. 13, 1973, the killer struck again, at the corner of Wisconsin and 23rd streets, on Potrero Hill. Social worker Art Agnos, 35, had left a meeting and was walking to his car when people started fleeing from a loud popping noise. The future mayor tried to calm them before realizing he had been shot twice in the back.
On Jan. 28, 1974, Jane Holly, a 45-year-old Wells Fargo clerk, went into the Lightning Coin Launderette at 1440 Silver Ave., just off San Bruno Avenue. Her back was to the door. She was pulling clothes out of the dryer as a gunman walked toward the rear of the 24-hour wash-and-dry.In our recent discussions about gun violence, Django Unchained, and America's gun culture, I have learned a great deal. Several commenters have offered up interesting bits of information, such as this reference to Robert Charles, a black man who shot 27 white people in the year 1900 during the height of Jim and Jane Crow.
I have also had an interesting discussion about black mass shooters and the argument that such crimes by African-Americans are somehow under-reported. Such a claim is fascinating because of how it stands against volumes of evidence about the racialized nature of crime reporting in the United States, and how stereotypes about black criminality are integral to the prison industrial complex, and the school to prison pipeline.
I may not always agree with folks here on WARN--which is part of the fun of our honest conversations--but I always learn something from the exchange.
In the spirit of seeking new information and knowledge, I also enjoy reading white nationalist websites. As I have said many times before, one must understand their enemies as not to be ambushed by them. Their waters are toxic and befouled; they are pure to the supplicants and white nationalist troglodytes.
During the Right-wing media's online fit about Django Unchained, and the prospect that a black man may actually want to kill white slave owners and other white racists during the 19th century (and Hollywood may dare to present such a fantasy in the form of a major motion picture), I came upon repeated references to the "Zebra Murders."
These were common White deflections where white racists search high and low for examples of black "racism," criminality, or violence in order to balance the centuries-long historical record of white supremacy's barbarisms against people of color--and also against white folks who did not follow the dominant script. The false equivalence is glaring; nevertheless, it is still instructive.
As a person of a certain age, I had never heard of the Zebra Murders. As a child of the hip hop generation and the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area who was born in the 1970s, I was too young and geographically distant from California to have ever encountered any information about a murder spree that was supposedly committed by Nation of Islam members against whites (and others) in the Bay area from 1973 to 1974.
Color me fascinated by this tale of interracial murder, police corruption and racism; resentment towards Earl Sanders, the black Police Chief of the San Francisco police department; and what is a fascinating story that has been optioned for a movie by Brad Pitt and starring Jamie Foxx and Will Smith.

The Crossroads of the Aether

I would love to see everyone's pictures. There were so many simultaneous goings on that no one person could take it all in. Please share the link to your Steampunk Empire page, Facebook album, Tumblr, Flikr, blog, LiveJournal, or other aether-net site you may have posted them to.
For those viewing photos, please be courteous and don't copy them for republication without permission from the photographer.
Here is my meager offering to kick things off. (I'm terrible at remembering to snap photos!)

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for sharing, Wally. Did you have a good "trip"?
Ah, the original virtual reality ride!
Thank you for sharing. Everyone seems to have had a wonderful time.
Above is a link to my facebook album. The pictures were all taken by my husband Dan. Enjoy!
Fantastic photos! Kudos to your husband, and thanks for sharing.
I had battery trouble and .... whiskey trouble. These are the pictures I took
Thank you for posting the link, Professor. It seems you're "whiskey trouble" isn't as troublesome as it would seem, and much more fun than battery trouble. ;)
Oh, it was troublesome, I ran out. ;)
Oh my, that is a troublesome predicament indeed! I'm sure you'll be better prepared for the next Symposium.
I will be more prepared, possibly with corporate backing from John L. Sullivan Irish Whiskey and Lenard Oaks Steampunk cider as well as The Seeker wines. Wouldn't that be fun?

Those come to us courtesy of the Tac Girls. The Tactical Girls – and their calendar – are what happens when a number of beautiful women, a military history buff, the owner of a NFA Class III business and a photographer all get together (you can read more about the whys and wherefores of being a Tac Girl here). Interestingly, many of these ladies are competitive shooters and/or CCW holders. We'll tell you a little bit more about them in future episodes. Tonight we'll introduce you to TacGirl Brittney, of January 2014. Brittney is currently Miss South Dakota USA 2014. She's 24 years old and is an impassioned equestrienne. When not riding or working as the Director for a 'horses for the handicapped' organization she shoots, fishes, goes 4-wheeling and watches hockey. The weapon she is using in this vignette is a Spike's Tactical Black Assassin. More information on the rifle and its furniture below. As for Brittney – she has green eyes, is 5′ 8″ tall and her vitals are 34D-26-33. Via the Tac Girls' Description: MODEL: Black Assassin MANUFACTURER: Spike's Tactical COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.A.

The CBR250R brings motorcyclists an innovative approach to riding, one that's both appealing and fun. Beginners and experienced hands alike will recognize the economy and extreme versatility of this sporty little ride. Equipped with a very efficient 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine featuring a sophisticated four-valve DOHC cylinder head, counterbalancer, and PGM-FI fuel injection, plus the option of ABS and more, this dependable lightweight delivers nimble handling, a broad spread of easily accessible power, excellent fuel efficiency and low operating costs, all in one. Put it to work for your daily commute, quick trips around town or weekend back-road explorations; the CBR250R does it all while delivering as much fun per mile as anything around, all at a price that just about anyone can afford.
New for 2013
- New Black wheels (except Repsol Edition).
- New Black exhaust cover.
- New colors include Repsol Edition, Pearl White/Blue/Red, Red and Black. (Repsol Edition available on standard model only.)
- Transferable one-year, unlimited-mileage limited warranty; extended coverage available with a Honda Protection Plan.
- Stylish full fairing with windscreen deflects the oncoming wind to boost rider comfort.
- Sporting ergonomics keep the rider perched in a well-balanced seating position to deliver a natural feel and comfortable stance even over daylong rides.
- 17-inch cast wheels return big-bike feel and handling traits.
- Fuel capacity of 3.4 gallons gives the CBR250R an extended cruising range.
- Grab rails on the tail section are designed to fit gloved hands, giving passengers a dedicated handhold while riding two-up.
- A handy underseat storage area adds to the CBR250R's versatility.
- Multi-function digital instrument pod includes speedometer, tachometer, engine temperature display, fuel gauge, clock, odometer and tripmeter.
- The sophisticated, 249.6cc single-cylinder engine is thoroughly modern in design thanks to its dual overhead camshafts driven by a Hy-Vo-type chain, forked roller rocker arms, four-valve head, shim-style valve adjustment, counterbalancer shaft and liquid cooling.
- The CBR250R's single-cylinder engine produces a remarkably broad torque curve with peak torque generated at an easily accessible 7000 rpm. Peak horsepower kicks in at 8500 rpm, well before the 10,500-rpm redline—further testimony to the wide spread of power. Such power characteristics facilitate smooth, responsive operation while also returning impressive fuel economy.
- The crankshaft runs in plain bearings for quieter operation, and the big end of the connecting rod spins in a low-friction needle bearing.
- Gear-driven counterbalancer shaft helps quell engine vibrations for rider comfort. It's located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while boosting mass centralization.
- Engine countershaft sits lower than the mainshaft to further reduce the front-to-back engine dimension.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for the existing riding and atmospheric conditions, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions, plus increased fuel efficiency.
- PGM-FI system incorporates an Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) to minimize torque reaction and smooth responses to small changes in throttle position. This is accomplished through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
- Thanks to its single-cylinder configuration, the CBR250R incorporates a light, compact and fuel-efficient powerplant, resulting in an overall package that is remarkably compact and nimble for intuitive handling dynamics.
- The six-speed transmission works in concert with the engine's broad power delivery to produce quick acceleration plus admirable fuel efficiency during top-gear cruising.
- Diamond twin-spar steel frame plus a 37mm front fork and Pro-Link® single-shock rear suspension provide impressive handling and a comfortable ride.
- ABS version available for enhanced braking characteristics.
- Curb weight of only 357 pounds gives the CBR250R outstanding maneuverability and helps instill rider confidence.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Been searching for that next great mmo because you played WoW for too long and got bored of it? You should seriously consider giving rift a try, even if you tried it when it came out and didn't like it. Personally I hated rift when it came out, I don't know why but I did. Anyways I recently saw it went free to play so I tried it out and haven't looked back since. Here are some reasons to give it a shot.
1) Upon hitting level 10 you unluck thing's called instant adventures, the lfg dungeon tool, and the looking for warfront tool.
a) Instant adventures = join a large group of other players and automatically get big group quests and just go around the map turning the npc's to shreds. The xp is very fast and fun if you don't feel like questing.
b) LFG dungeon tool = self explanatory
c) wafront tool = warfront's are the games battlegrounds, the pvp in this game is fun once you learn your class and which spec you enjoy using
2) There is an endless amount of class customization. Yes there are those "Set" specs that everyone says are the best. However this is mainly required for endgame raiding. When leveling you can have many different roles, you can heal, aoe, dps, dps+heal, tank+heal, etc. Basically you can change your gameplay up on the fly
3)The cash shop literally gives you no advantage when you hit end game. When leveling up you can use the gems to purchase good gear every 10 levels, however it's kind of pointless because you get great gear from all the dailies you do.
4) DAILIES. Forgot to mention these. All those lfg tools, instant adventures, etc. Have dailies. Meaning you get extra xp and loot chests to always have up to date gear for the most part.
5) I'm only level 32 (also have a level 24) but am thoroughly enjoying the game for some reason. The graphics are fantastic by the way.
6) The community is very helpful.
7)Subscribing isn't necessary at all but does offer nice xp boosts.
8) This game has the trinity (tank,heal,dps) however it also has what is known as support. Any class can be support which means they dps+heal or add other supportive stuff to the group
So more people should give this game a shot seriously. Glad I did because it's giving me something to do and I look forward to hitting 60 and raiding.
Problem with rift is the animations and optimization, I played as well and loved everything else when it went free to play but stopped around the 40's due to those reasons. My attacks don't feel like they have any weight to them and Rift is one of the only mmorpgs I can't run max without lag. It's horribly optimized considering I can run Tera, GW2 and FFXIV max no problem.
Having said that, The dimensions system is outstanding, maybe missing some features but still awesome.

Check it on patch 2.4 and again 2.5. They have through Dev forum posts confirmed there are performance changes/enhancements finally hell knows why that didnt happen with the expansion 10-11 months (and according to the same source, only reason the first round of changes didnt come in 2.3 was to minimize risk of problems with the F2P transition). They kinda failed anyway, the new zone still causes random crashes to pretty much everyone still to this day when you port to or in any place within the Dendrome zone, but w.e i guess, not like 99.9% of the f2p casual will ever even manage to get to the point where they will have anything to do or reason to be in an endgame zone
When I started playing Rift again a few months ago, I really started to get into it and became a Patron. Love the role switching which makes the game even more fun.
What I really like is the Cash shop. This is the first one I have liked out of all the games I have played. You ask me "Why use the Cash shop when you are subbing?" Well, I like the perks you get as a patron and if I want something I have the option to buy some stuff using REX.
Some items are so expensive in the game that it would take you forever to get enough Plat to buy something. I am a casual gamer and really dont have time to grind it out. Plop down 20.00 USD, boom, I have 3250 REX which can buy allot of stuff.
Bags, gear, weapons etc. Yes, you may be able to find something better through questing your butt off, but hey, I like the option.
Overall, it is a very well made game and there is always something to do.

Skip to comments.Newspaper Publishes Gun Owners Names and Addresses
Posted on 12/25/2012 6:07:09 AM PST by Not gonna take it anymore
A newspaper in New York has received a wave of criticism from its readers after publishing the names and addresses of all of the individuals with handgun or pistol permits in its coverage area.
Hundreds of residents in New Yorks Westchester and Rockland counties were surprised to find their names and addresses listed on a map posted by The Journal News on Sunday. Users can click any dot on the map to see which of their neighbors has a permit for a gun.
The map sparked more than 500 comments from readers within a day of its appearance on the website, many of them voicing outrage at the papers decision to make the information public.
This is CRAZY!! why in the world would you post every licensed gun owner information?? What do you hope to accomplish by doing this. This is the type of thing you do for sex offenders not law abiding gun owners. What next? should i hang a flag outside my house that says I own a gun? I am canceling my subscription with your paper today!!! said commenter Curtis Maenza.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
link to The Journal News article which published the names and addresses with an interactive map of some carry permits which are outdated.
Quite the uproar going on.
link didn't work. Try this.
One of the questions asked is why would a paper do this.
The answer is simple -—intimidation.
Another sentence stated that this is what is done for sex offenders. This newspaper equates gun owners with sex offenders. In their minds one is as bad as the other.
Evidently this paper feels it can survive without the business given them by gun owners and Conservatives. They feel they can make it with the liberal trade.
Maybe they can liberals seem to have the momentum these days.
I haven't really thought it through, bu my initial impression is, I don't think I'd care. In fact, I might be inclined to apply for a permit just to have it published, i.e., "Don't mess with this guy!"
What progressive "smarm".
A map of the safest houses in the area
A map of the safest houses in the area
The socialists might be doing a good job at stampeding the sheeple these days, but we still have the guns.
Molon labe!
If you are a criminal in need of a gun, now you know where to find one.
Just 12 days ago, Jimmie Hoffa Jr. told us we're going to have a civil war, and you can't really have a proper war without assault weapons.
Gun registration is a moot point today, in the era of data-mining.
If you ever bought a rifle mag or ammo with a credit card, they know what you have got. And me, and all of us.
A road map for criminals of where NOT to go:
All the people that work for this paper should have their address, phone number, stock holdings and such published. The first amendment people should have had their data published first, that is unless they publish with a quill pin.
So there is no doubt, I proudly fly my Gadsden flag every day in front of my home. No one in my neighborhood has complained to me or seems to care. Few of them own guns, some don't but they know when the SHTF, they will be under the aegis of whatever protection I can provide.
One more point, with the exception of the doc who got his medical training paid for by joining the military, no one in eye sight of my home is a veteran, kind of annoys me but I go with the flow as long as that flow does not try to back up on me.
if there is ANY increase in home break-ins over the next month or so, and those homes just happen to NOT own a gun... I would sue that paper for giving the criminals a list of safe homes to hit
That is one reason I carry cash when I buy ammo. Never use a credit card for ammo these days. It's probably been 20 years since I paid for ammo with a card, and that was most likely .22 or 12 gage bird shot.
One paper in Florida did this a few years ago with the Names and Addresses of licensed Concealed Carry people. Of course it is available from the state if you are so inclined. Try to get any ID of someone off their Driver's License record and LOL with that though.
The only exception was for those who had requested confidentiality due to prior law enforcement experiance. Fortunately those did not get published.
The more I think about these activities, the more my blood boils.
A map of which homes can be defended by guns is also a map of which homes are defenseless. Thieves and rapists in the area applaud the newspaper's decision.
Stupid liberals inviting their obamaphone fellow voters to come burgle, rape and kill them.
Ha! Half my street is retired or active duty Army.
Just a WAG based on observation, my entire neighborhood is pretty much the same.
Well, living just outside Ft Bragg, NC helps the statistics.
Good. They should be criminally charged and prosecuted. I hope they get their a$$es sued off into closure.
If I was a non gun owner in these areas I'd be suing the paper, they just became an easy mark for criminals.
I can't tell you how bleeping tired I am of hearing this latest liberal buzz-word "conversation". There is no "conversation" with liberals; only propaganda. When this liberal rag of a paper can explain why it's ok for the Sidwell Friends to have 11 armed guards, but wrong for the great unwashed of America; then we can have a "conversation".
That's true for recent purchases -- but firearms are designed to be robust and withstand hard use. Pretty much everyone (except my dad!) who returned from WW2 came back with a Luger or K-98. My own state has required permits for pistol purchases since the 1960s, but the permits are still paper with multiple carbon copies. The amount of time and effort to track down everything would be astronomical. And guaranteed to be inaccurate -- the state can't even handle annual vehicle registration renewals without an incredibly high error rate.
Conversely, if you are a criminal and want to know where the safe places are, just go the other houses which are unprotected!
A va newspaper tried. One of the names on the list spied on the editor found him having an affair and sent the pics to his wife and competing newspapers. The list was taken down
Very wrong thing to do. They literally put peoples' lives in jeopardy by doing that. Should be prosecuted. What about publishing all owners of gold coins?
Comments don't come up. Of course. I sure hope they don't mind when their reporters, editors and publisher's names and addresses are published with equal gusto.
This shows the true philosophy of the "Great Unifier" political party. Seems like all these people do is find ways to divide this nation.
They will wait for an amnesty period, and then conduct a number of splashy "mini-wacos" against bitter clingers who have expressed the idea that they will resist rather than submit to confiscation.
That will be the tactic of choice, to cow the rest into submission, but instead of submission, it will trigger CW2, if they go that way.
An Orlando TV station did this. And folks looked online and found the station manager and others information from the property appraisers website and promptly posted as much private information as possible about them on the web.
It was only a day or so later their gun owner list then came down.
Simple and effective response:
As many permit holders as possible should go to each and very advertiser of the paper, stand in a conspicuous PUBLIC spot and tell each and every passerby, "I've got a gun...permit."
PS: Imagine how many gun safes will be rigged to explode in the event of confiscation raids actually happening? They'll need to send EOD along with every gun confiscation SWAT raid.
The odds of getting the bullets first are just too great. The occupational hazards of home invasion.
Publish/GoogleMap the names & addresses of the liberal creeps who work for that newspaper. Crooks can then assume that those homes are gun-free.
"What's sauce for the goose........"
In that post there are two interesting replies:
This guy:
posted the name, address phone numbers and other info on the publisher and the reporter.
I dont know who the guy is, but one would suspect hes one of the people displayed in this reckless release of data.
I almost feel sorry for the newspaper publisher.
That response made my day.
See #40.
or whole houses
Exactly. It is the criminal's equivalent of a "Do not call" list for home invasions.
...the editor should have all his (or her) information made public...address, phone number, email,.....
The Democrat IL Attorney General last year wanted the names of Illinois gun owners published but was overruled by the Illinois Senate. Democrat Gov Quinn reluctantly signed the bill into law.
Illinois Governor Signs Bill Banning Release of Firearm Owners Names
Published July 03, 2011
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn on Saturday signed into law a measure barring the public from knowing who holds a firearm owner identification card in Illinois.
The bill, passed overwhelmingly by Illinois lawmakers in May, was a victory for gun owners who say they have a right to privacy over open-government advocates who say such records should not be secret.
Quinn, who has said he agreed that the information should remain confidential, offered no immediate public comment Saturday, quietly announcing the bill signing by email to news outlets.
In a 42-1 vote, the Senate passed a measure overturning a ruling by Attorney General Lisa Madigans office that said the names are public under the states open records law. Madigans office issued the decree earlier this year after the Illinois State Police refused to release to The Associated Press the names of 1.3 million people who are registered to own firearms.
The APs request set off howls of protests from gun owners and the state police, who said they feared criminals would use the information to steal guns or target those who werent armed.

Someone that lives there should create a database that lists the names and adresses/phone numbers of every lawmaker, and their families, in NY state.
Until such a time that they pass a law making gun information NOT open to public record searches, the information should be plastered everywhere.
I guess I am a little torn about having the gun owners names and addresses published.
The invasion of privacy is a problem, but it also lets the local crooks, criminals and thieves* know which houses are not hostile work places for them.
* not counting the elected crooks, criminals and thieves.
Good for them.

Comments: this is by far the best topwater bait I've thrown the first day I used this I caught 16lb in 5 fish and won my tournament I highly recomend this bait
From: Chad: Waynesboro, TN
Comments: I've had a great deal of luck with this lure this year. Very easy to walk. In fact this year was the first year for me walking baits with a baitcaster, and this bait made it seem like I've been doing it for years. Although, I have 2 complaints concerning this lure. First, after roughly a month of use, it started taking in water in the tail of the bait. Mind you, this bait never hit or slammed into any hard objects. Second, I got the lure snagged on a log in the water and the anchor on the bottom of the bait completely ripped out. Not bashing Damiki, maybe mine was a dud. But I will definitely give this lure another shot, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else looking into it. I just think that I'll take a better look at it, before I walk out of the tackle shop next time.
From: Tho: Raleigh, NC
Comments: I took the dolphin fishing this morning and I was amazed at how the bass and stripe jumped all over it. The bait is small in size and casts a country mile. I changed the hooks before I left home. I added number 4 luickycraft hooks and they worked great. The bait worked better than another bait I throwed all day. The water was clear, and it glided across the top with little noise and the fish loved it. I could see the fish come up out of 15 feet of water and take it. I even caught a couple of crappie on it. I am going to order me a couple more of these baits because I see a purpose they could meet when the water is clear. Good bait, I highly recommend that you pick up a couple of these baits. You won't be disappointed.

TORONTO (AP) -- The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that people with low levels of HIV who use condoms during sex do not need to disclose their condition to sexual partners.
In a 9-0 ruling Friday, the court said it was reflecting the medical advances in treating the virus that causes AIDS.
The court first ruled on the issue in 1998, saying that people with HIV must inform their sex partners of their condition or face a charge of aggravated sexual assault. That carries a maximum life sentence.
The Supreme Court ruled on two separate cases on the issue from Manitoba and Quebec.

Preview: Game #19 Leafs @ Senators - The Injury Bug
Cam Charron
February 23 2013 01:32PM
Last spring, the Toronto Blue Jays went into the season with increased expectations. They won 12 of their last 22 games, including their last game on the season, to finish at .500, a symbolic marker if anything, and in the offseason got a glut of reinforcements from their prospect system to shore up their rotation and their infield. Young Brett Lawrie looked like he was on the verge of stardom, giving the Jays three right-handed power bats along with home run champ Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.
Then, oh boy, the disappointment. The Blue Jays suffered injuries everywhere in their lineup. Closer Sergio Santos didn't make it out of the first month. Every good pitcher in the rotation suffered some sort of weird injury—three starters ended up on the 60-Day DL. The team got awful luck and finished 16 games below .500.
This isn't a baseball blog, and I'm by no means a baseball expert, but I do recognize how tough it is to come into a season with some high expectations and then see every player leave the lineup to some unfortunate accident. Welcome to the 2013 Ottawa Senators season.
The Ottawa Senators didn't have high expectations coming into the lockout-shortened season, but after a playoff appearance last year and taking the No. 1 seed New York Rangers to seven games in the post-season, you could say that there was some reason for optimism in Ottawa. I had Ottawa as an early season playoff favourite, noting the excellent track record of goaltender Craig Anderson and Ottawa's plus-possession team last season.
Of the total Fenwick events (every unblocked shot) that took place in Ottawa Senators games last year in score close situations, the Senators took 50.9% of them. That doesn't seem like it's a lot, but an extra shot out of 100 can make a big difference when so many teams are so tight thanks to three point games that artificially increase the record of crappy Southern teams all the parity brought in by the heroic Gary Bettman.
The Senators made a savvy addition in former No. 3 pick Kyle Turris, who had a good second half in Ottawa last year. They also picked up the underrated Mike Lundin and traded a third liner in Nick Foligno for a top four defenceman in Marc Methot. With the additions of Swedish rookies Mika Zibanejad and Jakob Silfverberg, I think the playoffs were a very reasonable expectation.
That was then. Now, the Senators are without Jason Spezza, Erik Karlsson, Milan Michalek, Guillaume Latendresse, Jared Cowen and Peter Regin, all roster players. Spezza is the team's best forward and Michalek led the team in scoring last season. Karlsson won the Norris Trophy as the league's best offensive defenceman. Despite this, the Sens kept winning, and with a win over New York on Thursday, were 10-8 with two overtime defeats, good for 7th place in the Conference.
Also on Thursday, the team lost Craig Anderson to a sprained ankle. Anderson is a remarkably consistent goalie year-to-year who gets very few accolades. He was on a hot streak to start the season, with a .953 even strength save percentage, giving Ottawa the lowest goals against total in the NHL with 1.83. Now, the Ben Bishop era or the Robin Lehner era looks to begin in Ottawa. Both are capable goaltenders, but unproven at the NHL level. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Numbers via Behind the Net's Team and Fenwick pages and NHL.com
What these numbers show is how important goaltending has been to both teams. While an awful lot of press is given to Craig Anderson in Ottawa this season, Ben Scrivens and James Reimer have combined for the 3rd highest even strength save percentage among teams in the NHL this season: behind just Ottawa and Nashville. They're actually ahead of the Roberto Luongo-Cory Schneider tandem in Vancouver.
I don't think anybody expects that to last, given how often Toronto lets the opposition play with the puck in the other team's zone. Over the last week, the Leafs Fenwick Close ranking bumped up a few spots, but they got to play three straight games against three of the worst possession teams in the league in Florida, Tampa Bay and Buffalo. Tonight, they'll go up against Ottawa.
The Senators held the edge in scoring chances last time the teams met, but they held a big lead in pucks directed at the net. There was also a very small number of scoring chances each side and the first period was dreadfully boring. I think the Sens have a clear puck-possession edge even without their stars, but the Leafs have been good at keeping pucks to the outside these season on defence, and the Sens have had some goal-scoring problems.
Here were the Sens' lines last time out:
Jakob Silfverberg - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Kaspars Daugvavins - Stephane da Costa - Derek Grant
Colin Greening - Mika Zibanejad - Erik Condra
Dave Dziurzynski - Zack Smith - Chris Neil
Marc Methot - Eric Gryba
Chris Phillips - Andre Benoit
Patrick Wiercoch - Sergei Gonchar
Craig Anderson
Ben Bishop
So scratch Anderson for Lehner. Stephane Da Costa has been sent down to the club's AHL affiliate in Binghamton, and according to Bruce Garrioch, Mike Lundin will play in place of Andre Benoit alongside Chris Phillips. Jim O'Brien will replace Stephane da Costa on the third line.
Using Ninja Greg's excellent usage charts, take a look at Ottawa's usage chart, in contrast to Buffalo's:
A lot of defined player roles here, unfortunately, not an awful lot of healthy players. Zibanejad sees a lot of offensive zone starts (he's far to the right in the graph) but also pairs off against good forward lines. He'll probably go up against the Mikhail Grabovski line tonight if Carlyle can get the matchup.
Look how that compares to Zack Smith and Chris Neil, who play in plus territory on a pretty effective checking unit. A lot of people like to suggest Neil is a goon, but I think he's a bit more than that, and one of the players described by Justin Bourne as a player tough to play against.
On defence, here's what the graph looks like:
Sergei Gonchar and Marc Methot see the tough competition, but Methot for some reason gets the offensive starts and Gonchar's been relegated to third-pairing status at evens. Not a lot of plus Ottawa defencemen have seen 10 games this season, so the usage chart doesn't really tell us much. I can tell you that Methot and Eric Gryba lined up almost exclusively against Brad Richards last time out.
So they'll probably play against the Kessel unit. Ottawa coach Paul MacLean likes to match up his fourth line against the other teams' first, and play them a lot in the defensive zone, so that could mean Grabovski will see a lot of Silfverberg, Turris and Alfredsson tonight just by the way the minutes work. That leaves Nazem Kadri to deal with the makeshift second and third lines Ottawa will have. Given that the Sens' top line isn't exactly a two-way threat, hopefully the ice opens up a little bit for Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk who have been on a tear.
For the Leafs, the lines are as follows:
James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Phil Kessel
Clarke MacArthur - Nazem Kadri - Leo Komarov
Nik Kulemin - Mikhail Grabovski - Jay McClement
Mike Brown - David Steckel - Frazer McLaren
Dion Phaneuf - Korbinian Holzer
Mike Kostka - Carl Gunnarsson
Cody Franson - Mark Fraser
Ben Scrivens
Jussi Rynnas
No changes for the Leafs tonight apparently, and I wouldn't see why. The top three lines have been playing well of late and Kadri has been dominant when he plays with an NHLer on his wing and not Colton Orr. I'd like to see Steckel get some PK minutes, but that doesn't seem to be the way Randy Carlyle wants to work his bench, so we're stuck with another six-minute performance out of the fourth line while Ottawa get to roll four competent lines.
That's one of the things I like about the Senators: their depth lines can be used in certain areas of the ice. They bring up AHLers who can score goals like da Costa and Condra and Greening instead of plucking plugs off the waiver wire to fill roster spots. This is why Ottawa can continue being a good possession team in spite of their injuries: they allow their good minor leaguers to win offensive ice time. The Leafs have lost Joffrey Lupul and Matt Frattin, but the replacements are not the Joe Colbornes of the world, but Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren.
Ottawa are a better team, but they've had trouble scoring. The Leafs are a weak defensive team who have had some good goaltending luck. Will either trend break tonight?

The movie and stars Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman took home the trophies.
The bash: The NBC-Universal Golden Globes After-Party
The venue: The Beverly Hilton rooftop
The stars: The entire Les Misérables crew showed up in full celebration mode — stars Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen and director Tom Hooper. Also among the guests: Isla Fisher, Ewan McGregor, Bill Murray and Josh Gad.
Scene and heard: In the tented party, the Les Misérables stars celebrated with Golden Globes in hand along with fellow winners (Jessica Chastain) and nominees (Ewan McGregor) and a British contingent (including Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs). The stars clustered in a small VIP area flanked by white couches as gawkers on the outside captured every move Jackman made with their smartphones. Murray, a nominee for his role in Hyde Park on Hudson, made an early exit from the party, taking a blond woman by the arm and announcing, "We're going to Weinsteins." But the Les Mis cast, Chastain (who did some couch dancing with hands in the air) and McGregor partied late into the evening.
"Like being struck by lightning": Les Misérables director Hooper spent much of the evening with an awestruck look of happiness. "It was like being struck by lightning," Hooper said of the win for best picture, musical or comedy. "I so didn't expect it." The surprise was so great that Hooper was carrying the gold envelope that had heralded the win. He looked at it periodically during the evening. "Here it is on this piece of paper. I feel I have to check to make sure it's the right name." He opened it again. There it was: Les Misérables in bold letters. "You can see, it clearly is the right name," Hooper said. "So we're good." The envelope will have a prized position in Hooper's home. "It's going to go next to a similar envelope which says that Tom Hooper won an Oscar for The King's Speech."
Winners circle: Hooper spent significant time with Jackman and Chastain, each holding best-acting Golden Globes of their own. Hooper told Les Misérables actor Jackman "that we wouldn't have made the film without him. I reminded him he's the only reason the film happened." And Hooper had praise for Chastain, who is part of Zero Dark Thirty, one of the Oscar best-picture contenders. "She is extraordinary in that film."
Better than Pattinson: Les Misérables producer Debra Hayward remembers that she was sitting with star Redmayne in the ballroom when the best-picture award was announced. "I was trying to pluck up the courage to ask Robert Pattinson who was at the next table, for his autograph for my daughter," Hayward said. "And Eddie (Redmayne) dug his elbow into me and and said, 'You just won best picture.' That was my moment."
Food stop: 1600 Penn star Gad made a beeline for the fried shrimp at the buffet table, and it wasn't the first time. "The best part of this party is that one man entered this party hungry and one man will leave full," Gad said. "I just had a short spurt of fried. Whatever was fried, I put in my mouth. I'm going back for seconds. You're stopping me." But he did give time for reflection for being at the Globes. "On my way to the party, I walked past the entire cast of Zero Dark Thirty. I thought this is so wonderful. It's very cool to be here."

Jimmy Pike, who began making art in the 1980s while serving a prison term, is renowned for his energetic line work and adept handling of the painting and printmaking media. His works have a graphic quality and describe his home desert country - the endless sandhills, submerged waterholes and intense shimmering heat of this harsh environment.
For Jarlujangka Wangki Pike has employed a dual perspective to relate the narrative - the radiating element may represent simultaneously a campfire and a bomb, while dragonfly-like bombers are silhouetted against the agitated ground. The vulnerable family group is dwarfed beneath the overwhelming turmoil and movement in skies above.

text: While You Are Here Women who deliver their babies in The Birthplace at Bridgeport Hospital enjoy the benefits of expert clinical care provided by a warm and compassionate staff, in beautiful surroundings. Nursing Care In The Birthplace, care is provided by skilled nurses specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, including nurses specially certified by national organizations. Certification, which requires nurses to have at least two years of obstetric nursing experience and to pass a rigorous examination, proves our nurses' knowledge of obstetrical nursing. All experienced staff and physicians are certified through the National Certification Corporation (NCC) in Electronic Fetal Monitoring. Labor and Delivery nurses specialize in helping moms give birth. Post partum nurses have experience in caring for moms and babies after delivery. Anesthesiology Anesthesiologists in The Birthplace encourage you to discuss anesthesia options with your obstetrician or an obstetric anesthesiologist, in order to make the choice that is best for you. The Birthplace has anesthesiologists available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Choices of anesthesia include: Natural childbirth, in which no anesthesia is used, if that is your wish. General anesthesia (usually reserved for emergency deliveries), in which you remain unconscious through the delivery. Epidural Anesthesia, a type of regional pain relief in which pain-relieving medication is injected into the space around the lower spinal cord. You remain awake, conscious, and pain free, and may even be able to walk. (This is the most effective form of medical pain relief.) Spinal anesthesia, which is similar to an epidural, but its effects are felt much faster. You may feel numb and will need help in moving during the delivery. Spinal anesthetics are mostly used for delivery by cesarean section or when the use of forceps is necessary. Sedation (narcotics or tranquilizers), which can be given as an injection or intravenously. Sedation can help to decrease anxiety, improve relaxation, and reduce the pain of labor but will not eliminate pain. Local anesthesia, an injection of local anesthetic to numb your perineal area (between the vulva and the rectum) in preparation for delivery. Your Rooms LDR stands for Labor, Deliver, Recovery. In one of these serene, comfortable, light-filled rooms, you will go through labor, deliver your baby, and rest for a while after the birth. The advantage? No moving from a labor room to a delivery room to a recovery room, right when you want to lay still and bond with your newborn. When The Birthplace was designed, thought was given, not just to your physical comfort, but to your emotional well-being, too. So your room will feature plenty of peaceful natural light. Soft teal, shell pink, rose, and mauve provide a soothing color scheme. Comfortable, home-like furniture hides sophisticated, high-tech equipment, just in case it's needed. Thoughtful finishing touches include a chair that opens into a bed for dad. Private Bathroom With private bathrooms in each LDR room, moms can take a shower whenever they want to, with their physician's approval. Many moms find showers relaxing during labor, and wonderfully refreshing afterwards. Jacuzzis are available in some of the LDR rooms for an extra soothing massage bath! Postpartum Rooms Our studies show that when new moms have rested up after the birth, they would prefer to move to a fresh, quiet room. The Postpartum Unit is just a short trip down the hall from Labor & Delivery. (Post = after; partum = delivery.) Here homelike rooms are also pleasantly decorated in soothing colors, with private bathrooms. Our liberal Rooming-In policy helps you and your family bond with your new baby. Keep the baby with you as long as you like. When you need time for yourself, our skilled staff will give your baby tender, loving care in our nursery. Labor Lounge As the Birthplace was being designed, many mothers told us they find it helpful to walk up and down the hall during labor. So we created the Labor Lounge, in the center of The Birthplace, where you'll find a comfortable place to take a break while you're walking.
