"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
I shoot the auto but never load the third shell, the reason being on the skeet range when I shot an O/U the max number was obviously two..the sequence is something I have always been used to..I also think its safer since I always know how many shells are in my gun at all times
As I said in my earlier post I'm found of brownings but specifically the Gold. I like the speed load and the mag cutoff. I think now they offer that in some other guns...but my Gold is already paid for and still works. I've sunk it twice hunting in the timber,take it apart clean it,let it dry.Still shoots. The days I dunked it I just let the water drain out and kept hunting.
My only experience with Borwning Maxus guns were this year when hunting in the Marsh. the guy to my right and left both had them. One was 2 years old the other 3-4 maybe. The guy on my left had an FTF and missed a chance at some birds and the guy on my right had something wrong with his bolt not going forward when he smashed the button or something like that.
Either way of course there are many happy Browning owners out there but I have to say sitting there throwing rounds down range @ ducks while they were messing around with malfunctions didn't exactly make me want to run to the store that day and pick one up.
Here's a post a guy shared with me from another forum. He has no reason to lie to me so I trust his comment on face value. Interesting for sure.
Now this was done only because we have a guide service and we shoot a bunch of geese and ducks every year..
I was a huge Benelli gun owner.. Had 6 of them... Loved them!!!! Went to a lodge in Canada for early early duck and goose hunting and when we got there they all laughed because we had Benelli.. There was not one person in our group without one... We were going to be there for a week of hunting and we asked the ole boys why would they laughed at our guns and they said because Benelli is such a hype and for the number of rounds we will shoot and number of kills we kill every year they don't last.. Benelli???? Really????
We were saying " NO WAY in ****"..
Hunting started on a Sunday and by weds we lost two guns.. By Saturday we lost another two.. Was the craziest thing I ever saw.. From jamming to, freezing up and shooting pins breaking it just amazed us.. Luckily the guides allowed us to use berettas. These guns looked like they were from the 18th century because they had been shot so much... It was crazy..
So we get back home.. I ended up selling all 6 of my benellis and bought three berettas.. We ended up buyin a farm in Vidalia and in the MS delta couple years later and my dad always chewed my as about selling the benel's.. I told him watch what happens.. First year of having both farms we killed about 1400 ducks in Vidalia and right around 1600 in the delta.. Over 1500 geese.. What happens old pops Benelli jammed up on the 4th day of hunting a really good cold timber day...
When I tell you I loved Benelli I loved them.. I had 20, 12, 2 O/U's, 2 auto's. and 1 pump, 1 auto assault..
Loved them.... Will never look over a beretta and will never have anything but beretta shotgun for the kinda hunting we do..
there are probably 4 autos that are no longer in production that to this day will still outshoot and outperform anything currently on the market, due to their design and the superior materials used..IMO those are
Browning Auto 5 (Belgium and early Japanese versions)
Beretta A 303
Remington 1100 (pre 87 models)
Winchester Super X 1
Anybody tried out the new A5?
"TO EACH HIS OWN SAID THE OLD LADY AS SHE KISSED THE COW" My first serious gun was an 870 wingmaster I purchased in 1962. As a lifelong quail hunter that was "my gun" until I went to an Ithaca model 600 o/u in 1980. I've owned about 7 different autos over the years and have never seen one that did not have some sort of malfunction, (even though minor) at some time or other. I have never seen a difference in the amount of game taken at the end of the day although when I was younger and quicker it was fun to shoot a triple on a covey rise. Having said that I have also shot triples with the o/u by holding the third shell between my index and social finger on a covey rise. For ducks I have shot the Benelli off and on for the last few years and never had a major problem. However I also shoot the Beretta 686 onyx o/u and a finer shooting gun has yet to be. This year I purchased the Browning cynergy o/u in camo with the recoil reducing stock. I have to hand it to Browning, this is the best duck gun I have shot todate with respect to reliability, shooter comfort and feel. I do have to say there has never been an auto loader with the balance and feel of the good old double be it s/s or o/u. And hopefully Sheriff Biden will not bother these old guns.
I grew up on the Texas coast shooting a Winchester Model 12. Some time later I got a Smith & Wesson Model 1000 Waterfowler from DU (My only major win). The Model 12 is too valuable to hunt and I like the S&W for both upland and duck/goose. It has both a 2 3/4 and 3" mag barrel that really drops birds.
The more people I meet, the more I love my dogs!
Southern Comforts Aim Small Miss Small- Gunner
(FC Swift Rivers No Problems MH- Kenny x Moonstone's Dynamite Dallas- Dallas)
Kerrybrooks Camouflage, JH- Cam
(Kerrybrook's Lord Byron x Kerrybrook's Hollis)
I don't know about the other two on your list, but I have a couple Belgium Brownings and 3 pre 87 Remington 1100's that are still shooting equally as well today as they were when bought new. The Brownings were handed down to me via my grandfather that he bought new for 56 bucks a piece off the rack and I still have the sales reciept in the stock of both of them. One of the 1100's I bought new and the other two were handed down to me via an uncle that were also bought new way back when. For some reason those guns just seem to "fit" me very well and still do to this day.

(NewsCore) - The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to clarify the immediate impact of his ruling last month that declared the new health care law unconstitutional, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
US District Court Judge Roger Vinson in Florida, considering a challenge to the health care overhaul by a group of 26 states, ruled Jan. 31 that the entire law must be declared void. Judge Vinson found only one part of the law unconstitutional -- the provision requiring individuals to carry health coverage or pay a penalty -- but he said it was impossible to disentangle that part from the rest of the law.

We were all hungry so we decided to stop there and see what it was like. Well it was a big tourist place! I don't really know what the point of it was other than for people to buy stuff. We looked around, bought some souvenirs, and took a lot of pictures. It was actually really expensive and very touristy. But we still had a good time. Eventually we all had something to eat, got back in the RV and kept driving.

Tyson to Pay Almost $4 Million After Clean Air Act Violations
Posted By Community On @ 6:24 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Following several violations of the Clean Air Act, Tyson Foods and the Environmental Protection Agency have come to an agreement. At 23 Tyson facilities across four states, including the one operated in Columbus Junction, large amounts of Anhydrous Ammonia is used for refrigeration. Between 2006 and 2010 the EPA found Tyson had violated the Clean Air Act in its handling of the chemical they consider extremely hazardous.
Tyson has agreed to pay a $3.95 million civil penalty. Spokesman for the EPA, Ben Washburn says it's important for companies to be compliant with these regulations. He notes they're designed to minimize the risk of an accidental release and provide the best safety measures for first responders in the event of an accident.

Myanmar: Tropical storm highlights vulnerability
In mid-May, as Tropical Storm Mahasen barreled its way up the Bay of Bengal, the humanitarian community and local authorities in Myanmar's Rakhine State worked around the clock to prepare for what threatened to be a major disaster. Thankfully Mahasen eventually weakened and bypassed Myanmar, but the near miss served to heighten fears for the monsoon season which has just begun.
"Tropical Storm Mahasen proved a timely exercise to see if we are ready to respond to a serious disaster," said Barbara Manzi, the head of OCHA in Rakhine. "State authorities and aid agencies worked hand-in-hand to alert people and move the most vulnerable out of most at-risk areas."
Among the most vulnerable were an estimated 140,000 people living in displacement camps following outbreaks of inter-communal violence in 2012.
"If a cyclone hits Rakhine State, we could have a major humanitarian catastrophe on our hands. We are already stretched to capacity assisting the 140,000 people displaced last year, who are living in dire conditions," said Manzi. "Strong response plans are crucial to prevent a bad situation getting worse when disaster strikes."
120,000 people evacuated
In the days leading up to Mahasen's anticipated arrival, the Government evacuated an estimated 120,000 people to safer areas, including over 46,000 people who were living in temporary camps. Aid agencies advised on potential relocation sites, spoke to communities about the need to evacuate to safer locations, and ensured emergency stocks of relief such as hygiene kits, tents and mosquito nets were on hand.
Once the immediate threat of the tropical storm passed, the focus turned to helping people return to the areas where they were located. The majority of people returned voluntarily within 24 hours of the announcement that the storm had passed.
Learning lessons
The humanitarian community is now reviewing the response to see what worked well and to identify aspects that need to be improved. Historical trends show that there is a high likelihood of a tropical storm or cyclone impacting Rakhine State.
Already there are identifiable steps that can be taken to prepare communities. These include authorities strengthening storm alerts for communities in their own languages, strengthening contingency plans that identify key buildings and safe havens, and prepositioning stocks.
69,000 people urgently need relocating
In some areas, the threats posed by the monsoon season are already very real. Daily storms have started flooding some villages. Farmland that was dry only a few weeks ago is now submerged. One health organization has already seen its clinic structures destroyed by relatively light rains.
Aid agencies are particularly concerned about 69,000 people living in locations situated in open, low lying areas and rice fields. In addition to flooding, the rains bring a higher risk of illnesses such as acute diarrhea, dengue fever and malaria.
"The top priority now is for the Government to allocate suitable land in which to build camps for these at-risk communities," said OCHA's Manzi.
Peace and reconciliation
Many communities have been living in substandard temporary accommodation for almost a year. Relocating these communities is urgent, but it is a stop-gap measure and longer-term solutions must be found, said Manzi.
"Reconciliation and unity between communities must be forged so that people can return to their homes and villages," she said.
"A lack of trust is fueling tensions between communities living in Rakhine State. The authorities, community and religious leaders, and humanitarian agencies must work together to rebuild trust so that people can live without fear."

Brazilian pop sensation to perform, May 4
Posted April 28, 2006; 04:59 p.m.
Brazilian singer, songwriter, guitarist and percussionist Vinicius Cantuária and his quintet will perform at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 4, in the University Chapel.
The event is the second annual spring concert presented by Modern Improvisational Music Appreciation (MIMA), a student group that promotes live music on campus.
Throughout his career, Cantuária has sought to connect several realms of pop music from his native country. His band, best described as "post-electronica acoustic," has often collaborated with prominent left-field musicians such as Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, Brian Eno, Arto Lindsay and Bill Frisell, who was featured in MIMA's 2005 spring concert.
Highly lauded for his musical ingenuity and artful song-writing skills, the million-selling performer professes that he often looks to the doleful harmonies of Miles Davis and Chet Baker for inspiration. Cantuária, who now resides in New York, has not only recorded several solo albums in the past two decades, but also has been featured on the albums of other celebrated Brazilian musicians.
Tickets are free for Princeton University ID holders and $10 for the general public. They may be obtained at the Frist ticket office by calling (609) 258-1742 or by visiting the University Ticketing Web site. Tickets also will be distributed near the entrance to the chapel to PUID holders immediately prior to the concert.
The event is co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Government and its Projects Board, Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, Office of Religious Life, Venture Fund and Program in Latin American Studies.

What Planned Parenthood actually does
By Ezra Klein
(Planned Parenthood)
With Planned Parenthood being either the major obstacle to a budget deal or one of the major obstacles to a budget deal, its worth taking a minute explaining what they do and what they dont do.
As you can see in the chart atop this post, abortion services account for about 3 percent of Planned Parenthoods activities. Thats less than cancer screening and prevention (16 percent), STD testing for both men and women (35 percent), and contraception (also 35 percent). About 80 percent of Planned Parenthoods users are over age 20, and 75 percent have incomes below 150 percent of the poverty line. Planned Parenthood itself estimates it prevents more than 620,000 unintended pregnancies each year, and 220,000 abortions. Its also worth noting that federal law already forbids Planned Parenthood from using the funds it receives from the government for abortions.
So though the fight over Planned Parenthood might be about abortion, Planned Parenthood itself isnt about abortion. Its primarily about contraception and reproductive health. And if Planned Parenthood loses funding, what will mainly happen is that cancer screenings and contraception and STD testing will become less available to poorer people. Folks with more money, of course, have many other ways to receive all these services, and tend to get them elsewhere already.
And the Republicans want to end funding for Planned Parenthood

His parents' influence catapulted his public service that spanned more than 37 years and culminated in the presidency of the United States; he ushered in landmark legislation such as Medicare, Head Start, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 43 national park authorizations or additions. As a boy, he learnt the value of education and his administration passed more than 60 education bills – a fitting tribute to his mother.
He never forget where he came from and worked hard to provide electricity throughout the rural counties that surround Johnson City. All his accomplishments have earned him a respect that is still alive today in the Texas Hill Country.

BOONEVILLE – The May 7 primary election will narrow the field of five candidates who believe they are the best choice for Booneville's leadership as mayor.
The Democratic primary includes two challengers to incumbent Mayor Joe Eaton – chiropractor Derrick Blythe and insurance agent Jon Hill.
On the Republican ticket are residential contractor Ron Kirk and Lin Floyd, special assistant to the secretary/legislative director for the Mississippi Secretary of State.
Candidates named many of the same priorities they will focus on if elected mayor: job creation; attracting new industry; economic development; revitalizing downtown Booneville; getting the most out of outstanding public schools and Northeast Mississippi Community College; long-term vision for a prosperous future for Booneville.
What differs is the background each candidate offers, both professionally and in public service.
Eaton, 56, has his current track record as a first-term mayor, as well as two terms previously served as an alderman, three years as an industrial supervisor and 24 years as a Booneville business owner.
"During the last four years there have been 45 new businesses established, creating approximately 300 jobs," Eaton said. "We have worked hard to create a positive economic environment that is attractive to new business investment."
Blythe, 44, also touts his business experience as owner of Booneville Chiropractic Clinic. He would make growing the city's industrial base a priority.
"I believe with business-minded leadership Booneville can grow and attract new industries and businesses to fill our empty buildings," Blythe said.
Hill, 50, a licensed insurance agent who retired from the U.S. Postal Service after 27 years, feels increasing the city's tax base and solving infrastructure problems are key.
"We must work with county, state and federal agencies in order to secure funding for streets, lighting and sewer/drainage, and update our fire and police equipment," Hill said.
Floyd, 35, wants to use his political relationships to help improve the city.
"If elected, I will assemble a working group consisting of local business, education and political leaders, along with representatives from state government and the Mississippi Development Authority, to identify our marketable assets and how to promote them," Floyd said.
Kirk worked for more than two decades as a residential contractor and ran for mayor four years ago. He continues to emphasize attracting jobs and cutting government spending.
"We have to cut spending and not spend more than we have, or in the next decade we will see higher water bills, higher taxes and our city employees will probably still be waiting for a pay raise," Kirk said.
If none of the three Democratic candidates for mayor wins 50 percent plus one vote in the primary, a runoff election will be May 21 to decide the general election candidate.
The Republican candidate for mayor will be nominated on May 7 to face the Democratic candidate in the June 4 general election.

The Connection between Military and Civilian Will is the National Guard
I read with interest the opinion piece by Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in The Washington Post last week.
In The Military Needs to Reach Out to Civilians, the general remarked on the need for a better relationship between the military and the civilian population. I am not quite sure I understood this observation given the tremendous amount of support American communities and private organizations have given those in uniform and their families since 9/11. Perhaps the general was referring to the democratic tension between military policy and civilian oversight, more aptly called American national will.
Having had the great privilege to work with members of the National Guard over the years, I found myself wanting to shout "Look to the National Guard if you want to bridge a perceived gap in military/civilian relationships." One need only look at the history of republics to understand the role of the citizen-soldier is to link the citizens of the United States more closely to the foreign policy of their country and to the decisions regarding deployment of U.S. military forces by giving them a greater and more immediate burden in sharing in the national defense. Such a linkage entails a price, but its rewards are great—restoration of citizen involvement in the nation's life, abatement of alienation, revival of a sense of national community. The citizen-soldier, man or woman, will have a more immediate stake in national decision making and reign in abuses of power that can occur when, as General Dempsey states, "it can be tempting to stay on our bases and talk to only those we know."
As former chief of the National Guard Bureau, Lt. Gen. H Steven Blum said, "When you call out the Guard, you call out America."
General, if you want to understand what it means for American citizens to go to war or understand what it is to bridge that gap between military and citizen mindsets, just spend time talking to any member of the Guard about what it means to them and their families and neighbors when the call comes to serve. Ask that person who balances family, job, renting or owning a home, and civilian life's other complications what it takes to serve this country. Besides monthly drill duty, Guardsmen are asked every day to help their neighbors during natural and manmade disasters. They await deployment orders to support national security operations abroad. Every day, the National Guard is the face of the military in America and the face of America in the military.
When change is in the air, whether due to foreign policy or fiscal uncertainty, it is tempting for the military elite in the Pentagon to forget their clearest connection to America is that citizen-soldier or airman serving next to them on the battlefield and in the policy rooms. Not one member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff considered the National Guard Bureau chief worthy of membership in that decision-making body, insulting every member of the Guard who believed they had earned that right as patriotic citizens during this decade of war and the 375 years of service that came before. That wasn't a good sign of cooperation and partnership from any true total force-civilian mindset.
"Our fellow citizens may have different perspectives that we need to hear and understand," Dempsey wrote.
So I humbly suggest, General, that perhaps when you and your active-duty colleagues debate policy, budgets and operational priorities, you make sure a member of the National Guard is in every room where decisions are being made and that you remember that the National Guard's link to America can be your own. Treat the Guard as a partner and as an equal. They validate every operation you undertake. Embrace the Guard and you embrace America.
Ms. Washbourne is spot on.
Ms. Washbourne is spot on. Our active duty forces do a tremendous job, but eventually end up as a cloistered tribe, separated from the larger community. Guardsmen and women as well as reservists are based in their hometowns and are truly the face of the military to America. That is also a good reason why its not always wise to centralized military resources. It may be good military policy, but it is very bad social policy, if you need the support of the citizens.
Grace Washbourne is indeed spot on!
Well put Grace, to no surprise for those of us who are familiar with your great support of the Guard through the years. This is an articulate and timely piece on what will need to be the centerpiece of an argument and defensive effort to prevent further Guard force structure reductions. The one-two punch from the budget control act and sequestration will no doubt force the active component to shop around for cuts from the National Guard.

They have to use a different logger implementation for retail builds. It could just swallow/ignore log entries (and probably would ignore/disable a lot of logging channels), or pipe them to the game's console (maybe colouring channels), or a text file inside %appdata%, etc... You don't need to inherit an interface or anything to do this, a simple ifdef to select different implementations is often good enough.
I prefer a single logging object with multiple logging channels, where each channel can be of a different type. i.e. a FileLoggingChannel for writing to file, a ConsoleLoggingChannel for writing to the console, a SocketLoggingChannel for sending the logs over the network to an external logging application/server. Each channel type just implements a simple interface like:
class ILogChannel { public: virtual void open(){} virtual void close(){} virtual void log( const LogMessage& msg ) = 0; };
and is responsible only for outputting the log message object. The main logging object handles adding file, line, function info, process and thread IDs, timestamps, possibly even call stacks when logging exceptions/errors, etc, to the message object. All about flexibility. If you want to use an external debugging tool, the game/application can even detect the presence of the tool when it starts up and add a SocketLoggingChannel if the tool is running, or a FileLoggingChannel if it's not. Then you can pass the same build around to different machines without having to recompile or distribute the debugging tool (or just use a config file).
I would also like to point out that opening/closing files on every log entry as a way of flushing the buffers is a little silly. Unless you're using something like std::fstream that uses it's own internal stream buffer, you usually don't need to worry about a process crash; OS disk buffering is typically done via a system write-through cache that exists outside of the process space, so only a hard system crash/power failure would compromise the buffered data (and opening/closing a file does not force the data from the cache to the device anyway.) Even in cases where there is no system write-through cache, you can typically flush a buffer with much less overhead than open/close on every write.

Drug-induced hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that may occur when you take certain medicines.
Other types of hepatitis include:
Toxic hepatitis
The liver helps the body break down certain medicines. These include some drugs that you buy over-the-counter or your health care provider prescribes for you. However, the process is slower in some people. This can make you more likely to get liver damage.
Some drugs can cause hepatitis with small doses, even if the liver breakdown system is normal. Large doses of many medications can damage a normal liver.
Many different drugs can cause drug-induced hepatitis.
Painkillers and fever reducers that contain acetaminophen are a common cause of liver inflammation. These medications can damage the liver when taken in doses that are not much greater than the recommended dose. People who already have liver disease are most likely to have this problem.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen, may also cause drug-induced hepatitis.
Other drugs that can lead to liver inflammation include:
You will have blood tests to check liver function. Liver enzymes will be higher if you have the condition.
Your doctor will do a physical exam to check for an
The only specific treatment for most cases of liver damage caused by taking a drug is to stop the drug that caused the problem.
However, if you took high doses of acetaminophen, treatment should be started as soon as possible after you develop hepatitis.
You should rest during the acute phase of drug-induced hepatitis, when the symptoms are most severe. If you have more severe nausea and vomiting, you may need to get fluids through a vein.
People with acute hepatitis should avoid physical exertion, alcohol, acetaminophen, and any other substances that harmthe liver.
Usually, drug-induced hepatitis goes away within days or weeks after you stop taking the drug that caused it.
Rarely, drug-induced hepatitis can lead to liver failure.
Call your health care provider if:
Never use more than the recommended dose of over-the-counter medicines containing acetaminophen (Tylenol).
If you drink heavily or regularly, you should avoid these medicines or talk to your health care provider about safe doses.
If you have liver disease, it is very important to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. You should avoid the following medications if you have liver disease:
This list does not include all medications.
Your health care provider can suggest medicines (including over-the-counter medicines) that are safe for you.

Fantastic! I use brown rice syrup instead of corn syrup. Also try other powdered pepper like Aleppo, Ancho or chipotle.
I've been using this recipe for a couple of years. I usually don't have corn syrup so I substitute maple syrup. It's delicious! I also use my silpat for easy removal and clean up.
This is a nice quick way to candy walnuts and pecans. I followed the recipe, however I did not use the foil or parchment paper-I used my silpat non stick baking mat...they came off very easy without the use of the vegetable spray or any additional oils. Easy clean up as well! Great recipr
I had already done some candied pecans & was looking for something to use up the walnut 1/2's I had from the holidays. I used the receipe as is except omitted the pepper, increased the cayenne to 1/4 t. & use black walnut flavored sugar. These were great
These are fantastic, as everyone agrees. I found some organic light corn syrup at Whole Foods, already flavored with vanilla. It worked great. A word about corn syrup: what you find in the grocery store labeled as "corn syrup" is not high fructose corn syrup. "Corn syrup" is dextrose. It's natural corn sugar. The usual complaints about HFCS: that it's unnatural, and that it contains fructose, don't apply to regular "corn syrup" sold in grocery stores. Agave, by the way, contains significant amounts of fructose. So if you're aiming to avoid fructose for any reason, agave isn't a sensible alternative to regular corn syrup. Enough chemistry. Love this recipe!!
I reviewed this recipe last year and I needed to make it again for a party so I checked out the more recent reviews. The reviewer who recommended cooking on parchment paper was spot on. It worked perfectly. For my taste, I would not include the little candy-like pieces that come off the paper in a bowl with the nuts. The flavor of the coating is very intense, too intense by itself. This is easy and good!
I did as another reviewer and roasted the pecans before. And I did 1/2 light caro and 1/2 dark. Special ingredient: garam masala Adds a nice depth to the spice.
Hey Gang, I used parchment paper to line the pan that I put the pecans on for the oven. I stirred them after 5 minutes and then left them for another 10 minutes. I pulled them out of the oven, pulled the parchment paper off the cookie sheet and onto my countertop. I separated the pecans and just broke the rest up after they cooled. I didn't waste any of the sweet crunchy bits because it peeled off the parchment with the pecans.
Wonderful recepie! The only modification I make is to toast the nuts first. To do this, place the nuts on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for about 10 min (stir occasionally). Adding this step brings out the flavor from the nuts & makes the nuts more crispy!
I followed the advice of reviewer carolo813 on 06/21/09. Perfect and easy. Just the right kick! I will be making them from now on. Thanks.

A revolutionary celebration marks 250 years of Princeton in Princeton
Posted October 30, 2006; 10:41 a.m.
The Rev. John Witherspoon, president of the College of New Jersey,
held court in the President's House, while a fife and drum corps played
a rousing tune outside.
Visitors to Princeton University on Oct. 27 were transported back to the 1700s during Revolutionary Princeton Day. The event was part of a celebration that began Oct. 21 marking the 250th anniversary of the University moving to Princeton.
Chartered in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, Princeton was located in Elizabeth for one year and then in Newark for nine years. In 1756, the College moved to a 4 1⁄2-acre site in Princeton, N.J. The campus' first buildings were Nassau Hall and the President's House (now Maclean House), which remain today.
Twenty-one years later, the University witnessed a turning point in the
American Revolutionary War when British troops sought refuge in Nassau
Hall after suffering defeats on the Princeton Battlefield.
In addition to visiting with John Witherspoon -- the only college president to sign the Declaration of Independence -- and listening to the Old Barracks Fife and Drum Corps from Trenton, families attending Revolutionary Princeton Day toured major historic sites around campus; played colonial games; explored a life-sized maze; learned about silver smithing and weaving; heard a doctor discuss medical treatments of the period; and took in a historical re-enactment of Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech.
"Revolutionary Princeton Day" was one of several events
the University organized in cooperation with community groups to
celebrate its heritage and its enduring relationship with Princeton
Remaining events include a Halloween parade at 5:15 p.m. Monday, Oct. 30, starting at the Princeton Public Library Plaza and led by the Princeton University Band.
A lecture series exploring the evolution of the University and the region continues at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1, at the Nassau Inn with an address, "New Jersey: Storm Center of the American Revolution," by John Murrin, professor emeritus of history. It concludes at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2, in the Murray-Dodge Hall West Room with a talk on "Princeton's Revivalist Roots From a 21st-century Religious Perspective" by Thomas Breidenthal, dean of religious life and the chapel.
Nassau Hall and Maclean House will be included in the 2006
Historical House Tour presented by the Historical Society of Princeton
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4. Tickets are required for this event; call
(609) 921-6748 for more information.
Princeton students and other members of the campus and local communities are invited to join in a "step sing" at 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, in front of Nassau Hall. The event, featuring traditional University music, is being planned by the University Glee Club and the University Band.
A Princetoniana exhibit at the Frist Campus Center reflecting on the history of Nassau Hall is on display through Nov. 30.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's 500 index are down slightly ahead of Wednesday's opening bell.
Also falling are shares of Deere (DE), down close to 4% despite reporting better-than-expected fiscal second quarter earnings — the farm and construction equipment maker cut its sales outlook for the year:
The reduced sales expectation came after a long, cold winter in North America delayed the planting of this year's seeds. It also slowed construction work and reduced demand for turf-care equipment, the company said.
CEO Samuel R. Allen also said Deere's "near-term forecast is being tempered by lingering economic concerns in many parts of the world, which are restraining business confidence and growth."
No such worries at Macy's (M), with the retailer beating estimates for the latest quarter, increasing its share buyback program and raising its dividend by 25%. Macy's stock rose 2% premarket.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that a proposal to split the CEO and chairman roles held at JPMorgan Chase (JPM) by Jamie Dimon is gathering steam. Dimon still looks on course to win the vote, but with the lowest level of support he's received in years. Dimon has threatened to quit the bank if one of the jobs are taken from him.

This last weekend of April displays the very best and the very worst of Washington.
Most of the country sees the worst part: the triumph of money and power.
For the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday and its related soirees, media companies and lobbyists spend many millions of dollars to fete Hollywood celebrities and politicians. The dinner's charitable origins were long ago lost, replaced by a desire of journalists to be players – to flatter the powerful and the famous, and to feel as if they are powerful and famous themselves, at least for one night. Lost in this cozy celebration of wealth and fame is the journalistic notion of holding the powerful to account without fear or favor.
Less noticed by the rest of the country, Washington also has its best on display.
In Meadowbrook Park in Chevy Chase, Md., just a few hundred feet from the D.C. line, about 500 people signed up for Saturday's Race to End Poverty. Sponsored by a local nonprofit, A Wider Circle, the race is a 4K – a nod to the group's hope of furnishing 4,000 homes this year for people living in poverty in the Washington area.
In financial terms, the battle between cynicism and idealism is no contest. The nonprofit hopes to raise $25,000.
I've volunteered at A Wider Circle on and off for the last several years through my daughter's school.
Before long, any volunteer at A Wider Circle, in Silver Spring, Md., learns the lore of its founder, Mark Bergel. Bergel, with a Ph.D. in sociology, was teaching at American University a dozen years ago when he decided to launch A Wider Circle, named after Einstein's admonition to free ourselves form self-centeredness by "widening our circle of compassion."
A few years in, Bergel plopped down on his bed after one of his 15-hour days. "I thought, this feels great," he told me. "And then I thought, I have to get rid of this. The people we serve don't get this moment. I don't want this moment."
And so Bergel, now 50, donated his bed and instead alternates between the couch and the floor of his small apartment in Bethesda. He drives to work in his Honda Fit subcompact and pays himself a salary of $48,000 (overhead at his charity is kept to an exemplary 3 percent of its $1.5 million in revenues). His ascetic existence, he says, helps "keep in mind what it feels like not to have something so basic as a bed."
Bergel has expanded his operation from furniture, linens and baby items to training and professional clothes for job seekers. Now he's attempting to match poor families with volunteers who will assist the families over the long term. Bergel has furnished housing for 63,000 people with an average household annual income of $12,000.
Does it work? Bergel admits that in follow-up calls to those whose homes A Wider Circle has furnished, fewer than half have working telephones after six months. But that means nearly half of them still do.
What's extraordinary is that Bergel has done all this without help from any church (A Wider Circle has no religious affiliation) and precious little from the government (Montgomery County, Md., gives him less than 10 percent of his revenues, and the District of Columbia, whose residents are half of Bergel's clients, gives nothing).
"If there's one thing I haven't done as well, it's pursue funding with the vigor we pursue service, and that's one of the paradoxes of doing this work," Bergel said. "I chose this because I don't care about money. … And then as soon as you start the organization you realize, hmm, we need money. So you think about money every day."
It's a sign of hope that people such as Bergel still exist in the capital. It's a sign of shame that Bergel goes begging while fat cats, politicians, media heavyweights and Hollywood celebrities toast each other at the White House Correspondents Association dinner.

The Routt County Sheriff's Office is investigating a suspected homicide related to the death of a Soda Creek Elementary School third-grader. A Sheriff's Office deputy is on scene at this home at 23935 Arapahoe Road in Stagecoach. The home is the same location where authorities were called to a report of a suicide or suicide attempt just before 3 a.m. Wednesday, according to Routt County Communications records. The Routt County Assessor's Office database lists the home's owners as Michael Kirlan and Lisa Lesyshen.

Green Computing: Beyond Energy Efficient Hardware
July 12th, 2013 | by Jeff McIntire-Strasburg
Want to hire a firm to build a website for you, and want to make sure their sustainability values align with your own? You're going to focus on companies that use ENERGY STAR and EPEAT-certified machines, right? What else can you do? Sure, it'd be great if they recycle, keep printing to a minimum, and provide a bike-friendly workplace, but in terms of the actual work, they can really only focus on the efficiency and recyclability of their hardware... right? Nope... there's much more they can do

Alternate name: White Shark
Family: Lamnidae, Mackerel Sharks view all from this family
Description The great white shark has a robust large conical snout. The upper and lower lobes on the tail fin are approximately the same size (like some mackerel sharks). Great whites display countershading, having a white underside and a grey dorsal area (sometimes in a brown or blue shade) that gives an overall "mottled" appearance. The coloration makes it difficult for prey to spot the shark because it breaks up the shark's outline when seen from the side. From above, the darker shade blends with the sea and from below it exposes a minimal silhouette against the sunlight. Great white sharks, like many other sharks, have rows of serrated teeth behind the main ones, ready to replace any that break off. When the shark bites it shakes its head side to side, helping the teeth saw off large chunks of flesh.
Warning A voracious predator known to attack humans, this shark is sometimes considered the most dangerous shark in the world. Forty-one attacks on humans by White Sharks occurred off California between 1950 and 1982, but only four of these were fatal.
Similar Species Mako sharks (genus Isurus) similar but with more slender bodies.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska.
Discussion According to a recent study, California great whites have migrated to an area between Baja California and Hawaii known as White Shark CafÈ, to spend at least 100 days before migrating back to Baja. On the journey out, they swim slowly and dive down to around 900 m (3,000 ft). After they arrive, they change behavior and do short dives to about 300 m (1,000 ft) for up to 10 minutes. Another white shark tagged off the South African coast swam to the southern coast of Australia and back within the year. This refuted traditional theories that white sharks are coastal territorial predators and opens up the possibility of interaction between shark populations that were previously thought to be discrete. Why they migrate and what they do at their destination is still unknown. Possibilities include seasonal feeding or mating.
Great white sharks are carnivorous, and prey upon fish (e.g. tuna, rays, other sharks), cetaceans (i.e., dolphins, porpoises, whales), pinnipeds (e.g. seals, fur seals, and sea lions), sea turtles, sea otters, and seabirds. Great whites have also been known to eat objects that they are unable to digest. Upon approaching a length of nearly 4 metres (13 ft), great white sharks begin to target predominately marine mammals for food. These sharks prefer prey with a high content of energy-rich fat. Shark expert Peter Klimley used a rod-and-reel rig and trolled carcasses of a seal, a pig, and a sheep to his boat in the South Farallons. The sharks attacked all three baits but rejected the sheep carcass.

One question I frequently get is "How much should I be spending on social media?" The answer, of course, is it depends. This report looks at how 140 Social Strategists spent on social media in 2010 -- and their plans for 2011 (read report). From this deep data, my co-author, Jeremiah Owyang, and I, found that maturity levels are a key driver of social technology adoption, and hence, social spending. (Jeremiah also wrote a detailed post about the report). I *love* data, so this was a particular fun and satisfying report to work on with the team (special thanks to Christine Tran and Andrew Jones for being our data gurus).
I've included several key charts and points, as well as the report below. But here are a few key takeaways:
Report Details
The chart below shows the three different types of maturity levels (take a quick quiz to determine your maturity level), and how the average budget, team size, and also the way they are organized differs. The report has a great deal more detail on how adoption and thus spending differs by maturity.
We looked in greater detail at 12 spending categories in three areas: 1) Internal soft costs (staff, R&D, training); 2) Customer-facing initiatives; and 3) Technology investments. The graphic below shows the average spend for each of these categories, for those people who have adopted them. The story is nuanced because not every company is spending in areas like SCRM or community platforms.
This begs the question then, of what you need to do to prioritize in your budget, and thus your social strategy. We developed specific priorities and recommendations for each maturity level, summarized conveniently in the graphic below. Mashable also has a great write-up of the recommendations from the report.
Below is the report, followed by some key charts and findings:

U.N. envoy discusses tsunami recovery, April 18
Posted April 12, 2006; 06:17 p.m.
Eric Schwartz, the United Nations' deputy special envoy for tsunami
recovery, will address reconstruction efforts following the 2004 Indian
Ocean disaster in a lecture set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 18, in 1 Robertson Hall.
The talk, titled "Rebuilding After Disaster: The Challenge of Tsunami Recovery," is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Office of Graduate Career Services.
Schwartz was appointed in August 2005 as deputy to former President Clinton, who serves as U.N. special envoy for tsunami recovery. He served on Clinton's National Security Council as senior director of multilateral and humanitarian affairs.
Schwartz has been a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the United States Institute of Peace, worked for the U.N. High Commission for Human Rights office and served in various capacities with other international and nongovernmental organizations. He also has been a lecturer at the Wilson School, where he earned an MPA in 1985.

The State Department released this document in February 2012. The introduction states, "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2012-2016 presents the Department's goals, derived from the conclusions of the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) and the Bottom-Up Review (BUR). The goals include objectives and key performance indicators that are essential for implementation and execution of the Department's responsibilities.
This Plan, like the QHSR process that preceded it, reflects the core principles identified in the Open Government Plan. These three principles—transparency, public participation, and collaboration—are the basic tenets of Open Government. This Strategic Plan describes the Department's Strategic Performance Plan Measures in the context of the QHSR and the homeland security missions. The Plan continues the Department's efforts to prioritize frontline operations while maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of every taxpayer dollar the Department receives. The Plan also describes the Department's efforts to provide essential support to national and economic security, and to mature and strengthen DHS as an institution.
The Plan is built from the deliberations and conclusions of the QHSR, the BUR, and the Department's FY 2012 budget request and FY 2012-2016 Future Years Homeland Security Program, as well as the strategic performance measures articulated in the Department's FY 2010-2012 Annual Performance Report. The Department is committed to improving performance measurement and accountability by increasing the quality of the Department's performance measures and linking those measures to the mission outcomes articulated in the QHSR. DHS is continuously assessing all of its performance measures to improve alignment with the QHSR and create a comprehensive performance plan that will provide the basis for strategic planning and management controls."

Washing dishes and muzzling oxen
Deuteronomy 25:4 - You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.
Last weekend I spent the entire weekend at the sink at St. Andrew Orthodox Church, washing dishes. We were having our annual heritage festival, which involves dancing - Greek, Arabic, Russian, Irish - a silent auction, and food. Lots and lots of food. Most of this food is from Greece and various parts of the middle east.
So, the kitchen is the place to be during all of this. There is constantly something toothsome coming out of the oven. And if you're right there, someone is going to ask you to taste it to make sure it's ok. And, even when the cabbage rolls are running out, the folks working in the kitchen have access to the fresh ones coming out of the oven.
Because, as Deuteronomy says, you don't muzzle the ox while he's treading the grain.
So, I washed dishes all day, and ate like a king. Or, perhaps, like a sheikh.

Anybody watching LSU/South Carolina?
Anybody watching LSU/South Carolina?
Yep. Good game so far.
Don't trust anyone who would rent a pig !
Sigh. ULTRA conservative play calling!!!!
@ 0:35> ..."and destroys the dreams of invading foes"
Dustin, I have to agree with you. There are many formidable places for opposing teams to play but none rival Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night.
I'll copy myself from last night on Facebook.
Now, for all you Chicken Little/Bandwagon Fricks, GET THE HELL OFF. This is LSU. You're either with them or against them. They have yet to be perfect, but ya know what, that's scary for a team coming to DV around Nov 3rd. Geaux Tigers!!!!
Typical SEC game, physical D and great RB's. Game wasn't as close as the score. I want to see some Steven Rivers at QB! LSU's D line is as good as it gets in College Football.
Beating the 3rd ranked team in the nation was sweet!

Newman, Oliver and Chester, the three amigos! And what a fun group they are! We originally had Oscar and Oreo and one day Oscar's breeder came to visit and brought Ollie with her. She said we should keep him for a few days and see how it went, but of course there was no way he was leaving! Shortly after we lost our beloved Oscar to lymphoma, we heard that Chester's breeder was looking for a home for him, so we drove to Southern California and brought him home. Ollie wasn't happy with the new arrival, but he soon learned to tolerate him. And two years ago we received a call from Ollie's breeder telling us that she had an 8 month old boy that she needed to place and did we want him. Once we met him, we knew he would be ours but we were a little nervous about how Ollie would take to him since he wasn't truly a 'puppy' anymore. But Newman is the sweetest, gentlest soul and whenever Ollie would try to intimidate him, Newman would roll over on his back. Ollie would look at us with a 'what the heck' look on his face and soon learned that Newman was his friend. Now the three of them are inseparable and spend all of their time playing, eating or sleeping. They love to take long walks with us or go for a ride in the car to a nearby park and especially love going to Prescott in the summer. So Oliver is the last of the original "O's" but there are always three bullies around here! They are the best, my three sons with fur.
Thanks, Kathy

G1972, Reviewed October 1993
One of the first ways solar energy was used in agriculture was to modify climatic extremes in cold livestock housing by using passive techniques. Passive techniques are extremely cost effective because they generally add little or nothing to the cost of the structure. This guide has information on designing and locating a building to make the best use of the sun and also on storing energy in such passive systems.
Over the years, extensive research has given us the ability to tell exactly where the sun is located at any instant on any day of the year with both graphical and mathematical expressions. By using this information, you can design and locate a building to maximize solar effects in winter and to minimize them in summer.
For example, consider an open front livestock shelter (Figure 1).
Figure 1Seasons affect the solar angle for shade and penetration.
The general recommendation for locating this type of building is to orient the long dimension of the building's ridge east-west with the open side facing south. This provides the following advantages:
You can calculate solar penetration and shading effect for different buildings. Refer to Figures 1 through 3 and the following equation to find out how much sunlight penetrates an open front building that faces south:
The horizontal penetration of sunlight can be determined by this equation:
The vertical shading effect can be similarly determined:
Figure 2Solar angle of elevation is related to solar penetration and shading height.Figure 3Diagram shows sun's path for 40 degrees north latitude. The 40-degree north latitude line extends east-west through Missouri passing near or through the towns of Ewing, LaPlata, Trenton and Savannah.
A partial listing of tangent values for selected angles of sun elevation are contained in Table 1.
Table 1Tangent values for selected angles
Example problem
Figure 4Use this illustration to work the example problem Figure 5Shed-type structure shows elements of passive solar design with storage.
Almost all open-front farm buildings that face south have had some consideration given to solar angle and its effect in their design. More recently, structures have been designed specifically to take advantage of this factor.
Quantifying the positive results of passive design is virtually impossible. But years of satisfactory experience have led to the general acceptance of solar control as a design practice. Since most of these designs require no or little added investment, their acceptance is well merited.
A major problem with all solar systems is that of storing energy for nighttime and cloudy day use. Active systems with storage generally use some type of insulated container holding water or rock to absorb heat during periods of sunshine. This heat is then extracted from storage during periods of no sun.
Several years ago, a Frenchman named Felix Trombe patented a system for providing solar energy storage in passive systems. Known generally as the Trombe wall, this system involves placing a massive structure in a location where it will both intercept solar energy directly and then release it directly to the building at night.
You can incorporate Trombe design features in farm structures by placing high mass (masonry or concrete) building components where they will intercept the sun's energy directly. The most common elements are concrete floors and walls. To provide maximum effectiveness, place some type of waterproof insulation between the storage unit and the ground. A two-inch thickness of expanded polystyrene (R = 8) is sufficient for this purpose.
Predicting exactly how much energy a particular design will store is difficult. The specific heat of solid masonry is approximately 0.2 British thermal units (Btu) per pound per degree Fahrenheit. Concrete has a density of 150 pounds per cubic foot or 50 pounds for every square foot of a four-inch thick floor. This means that if you increase floor temperature 15 degrees during a sunny day, it will release approximately 50 x 15 x 0.2 = 150 Btu of heat energy as it cools during night hours.
Figure 5 shows how passive solar collection and Trombe type storage might be incorporated into a simple shed-type building.

Compare Abarth Garages and Specialists in Sunbury on Thames with Who Can Fix My Car.
The first impression of garage I was not sure as it looks like a proper back street garage, but I was surprised, the owner is a really decent guy, I needed brake fluid change as well but the nipples were rusty so we agreed to hold fire on it as he did not want to leave me stranded so original quote was lowered to reflect this, could not ask anymore from a garage
Fantastic, I'm going back this week to have some work done on my other car!
They've done an amazing job on my car, feels like it's brand new, I'd give them 10 stars if i could!
I have left my car with a company called All 4 wheels. They have had my car for over 1 month and have still not completed any of the jobs expected or asked of them. I am today collecting my keys to have the work completed elsewhere. They have given various excuses, short staffed, issues with trying to diagnose issues. It seems from their reviews they cannot be trusted to complete a job in a timely manner. They have wasted a months tax, insurance and mot on my car life!! I have called them numerous times and have been promised call backs and follow-ups, to no avail. My recommendation would for this company to be excluded from your recommended list. I am a very angry, upset and dissatisfied potential customer. The car is filthy and has no petrol.on pick up, thanks for nothing!! I should sue your arse!!! I recommend looking for a garage that can deliver a service, pass by this one if you have any sense!!
Good job
Great service and very helpful throughout.
Fair price, good communication, all working well.
Great job, on time, good value
Friendly, professional and quick service. Prices are very competitive and reasonable. I will definitely be using their services again. 100% recommended. Thank you, Ryan!
Ryan was great prompt replies to all messages. I needed some extra work done which he provided quotes for upfront and were very reasonable all done in same day. Would 100% recommend and use again! Thanks very much.
Great service by David and his team
Great service from start to finish. Excellent communication from Dave. On time collection and delivery. Will def use again.
Absolutely brillant, would definitely recommend and use again!
All good, thanks for your help.
They never contacted me, though I tried to call them twice but no one to pick the phone
I was very pleased with this garage and would certainly recommend and use them again. I found them to be honest and competitively priced. They were also polite, friendly and not in the least pushy. Two small problems occurred and not only were these resolved extremely promptly but l also received some money off my bill. I left them thinking l would trust them completely.
We arrived at 08.30 with our Ford c-max for a new clutch we were told it would be ready for 5pm very reasonable price as per quote and a good job done car ready on time will use this garage again thanks guys
Had car to go through Mot as had failed previously, needed two rear tyres changed and rear cluster brake lights shorting and brake pads. Car passed Mot handed over £280. Did this in January, my previous tyre had a small puncture which I had to re inflate every 2 weeks. I went on holiday for 3 weeks in April and noticed the tyre flat. So I pumped it up again and ever since I've had to do it every week now, took it back and the guy who took my money did not seem interested. I have checked the light cluster and that is still not working so obviously my car is legal. Please don't use these guys.
I had the clutch replaced at this garage and this was completed successfully as the car seems fine so far. However, I have also asked for A/C recharge and they were not able to complete the job, they have advised that the EIC condenser has a leak and needs replacement. I have been charged £20 for this job even though my AC still does not work. Was agreed with Sam that he will call me the next day to provide a quote for the condenser replacement, he did not bother to call me back at all. Also they have not re-filled the engine coolant after completing the works, had to buy new coolant on my way home. Not very professional garage overall, had to call several times to get updates for collection time and did not even get response.
very pleased with the service
Excellent and very prompt service, great price brilliant overall.
all done as promised.
decent prices and trustworthy team
Being new to the area I didn't know any garages and have been impressed with west lake They had excellent customer service, dropping me home twice, and dropping my car off for me once it was done The price was more than I'd hoped, but they broke it down for me, offered to leave the old parts with me, and knocked off the price for brake fluid The car now feels safe and for an old car, better than ever Great job
Didn't get work done in end but good advice
Picked car up on time and changed clutch and flywheel using best quality parts. Also did a health check and found egr needed cleaning and an engine mount was worn and would need changing but was safe to drive with . Car back same day. Very pleased with all work . All worn part given back for me to inspect and diagnoses spot on
Great work, very quick. Kept me informed all the way through and did some extra jobs at no extra charge. Very polite. Would recommend them.
very helpful, great service, helpful team
What a Garage! Will defo use again. As picked up the car, did the MOT and replaced some steering rods which was very cheep, then Serviced the car and now feels like a new car as never felt so smooth. then replaced the Clutch which works fine, then returned the car all done Thanks. Highly recommend. Best price by far.
I would recommend this garage.
